Los Angeles Dodgers outfield prospect
James Tibbs III continues to dominate at the Triple-A level and is quickly entering must-stash territory. Even though the Dodgers' outfield is filled at the moment, Tibbs has looked more than comfortable at Triple-A Oklahoma City to begin the regular season. Through 15 games, the former 13th overall pick has posted an incredible .356/.457/.864 line with four doubles, one triple, eight home runs, and a 19:10 K:BB. This is even more impressive to note as Tibbs did not participate in a single Triple-A game prior to the 2026 campaign. In 2025, Tibbs spent most of his time with Double-A (Portland and Tulsa) and held an overall .240/.367/.388 line with a .755 OPS. Even though there is no clear opening for the Florida State product at the moment, his incredible power upside has pushed him into high-end stash territory for those in 12+ team formats.

Boston Red Sox pitching prospect
Payton Tolle remains a must-stash candidate in Week 3 of the fantasy baseball season. Tolle is coming off another strong showing at Triple-A Worcester, where he logged five shutout innings with just three hits and one walk while striking out six hitters. In his previous outing, Tolle was just as sharp, logging six innings of two-run ball (one earned run) with seven punchouts and four hits. While the southpaw fell short of the Opening Day rotation, he could be on the verge of returning to Boston. Last week, the Red Sox placed right-handed starter
Johan Oviedo (elbow) on the 15-day injured list, which opens a spot on the roster for Tolle. While the rotation is filled at the moment, Tolle is the next candidate waiting in the wings. Given that he struck out 133 hitters over 91 2/3 innings last summer, he should be viewed as the top pitcher to stash in all formats.

Tampa Bay Rays left-hander
Steven Matz (3-0) has been excellent in his first three starts to the 2026 season with a 3.94 ERA, 0.94 WHIP, and 17 strikeouts in 16 innings pitched. Additionally, in Week 4, Matz gets a juicy matchup on Thursday against the Chicago White Sox, who rank in the bottom three in strikeouts per game with 10, indicating Matz, who is currently having a career year in the strikeout department with a 27 percent strikeout rate, should have a solid opportunity on Thursday. Matz is no secret to MLB, as he has played 12 seasons and, in his career, owns a 4.19 ERA and 1.30 WHIP. More importantly, there have not been any crazy adjustments or pitch changes in his arsenal that have suggested he's made any changes, so there should be some regression heading his way, but in the meantime, fantasy managers should ride the hot streak with a great matchup in Week 4.

Notre Dame running back
Jadarian Price is squarely in the conversation to be the second running back selected in the 2026 NFL Draft despite never handling more than 10 offensive touches per game in any of his three collegiate seasons. Sharing a backfield with one of the best offensive players in this year's draft class,
Jeremiyah Love, Price saw his career production nearly doubled by the presumed early first-round pick, but he was still productive on his limited workload. Price averaged more than six yards per carry in his collegiate career and reached double-digit touchdowns in 2025. As one of the best kick returners in the country, he displayed excellent vision and the ability to slash through shifting lanes without gearing down, traits that should translate in a larger role out of the backfield. Price has good size and runs low and behind his pads, and with the right landing spot, he could emerge from a lackluster running back class as Love's largest threat to finish the year as the rookie RB1.

Houston Astros right-hander
Spencer Arrighetti should be getting called up to the big league club any day now, as
Hunter Brown (shoulder) and
Cristian Javier (shoulder) both have landed on the 15-day IL, and
Tatsuya Imai is dealing with right arm fatigue and is considered day to day. The Houston rotation is beginning to look thin, with
Mike Burrows and
Lance McCullers Jr.currently representing the only starters without an injury designation. Arrighetti was on most fantasy analysts' radars in 2025, as he broke out in the back half of the 2024 season with a 3.18 ERA in 65 innings pitched, but he dealt with an unfortunate injury in 2025, and started the 2026 season in Triple-A in 2026 after a tough Spring Training, where he owned a 6.25 ERA in eight innings pitched. However, in three starts at Triple-A, he's looked fantastic; he has a 1.26 ERA, 0.77 WHIP, and a 12.56 K/9. With the injuries to the Astros rotation and Arrighetti's clear path to a spot in the rotation, fantasy managers may want to look to add him now before the call-up becomes official.

Louisville wide receiver prospect
Chris Bell will be one of the riskiest selections in the NFL Draft and dynasty rookie drafts alike. For much of his senior season, early draft analysis had him ranked right alongside what has now become the Big Three of receiver prospects in
Carnell Tate,
Makai Lemon, and
Jordyn Tyson as a potential first-round pick. An ACL tear in his final game of the season all but shattered that possibility, and he now profiles as more of a mid-to-late Day 2 pick who may require what amounts to a redshirt season as a rookie. While Bell's production doesn't stack up to the receivers at the top of the class, his pre-injury athletic profile was what made him stand out. At 6'2" and 222 pounds, he hit an in-game speed of 22 MPH, allowing him to win after the catch with both physicality and acceleration. How the injury will impact him in the all-important early stages of his professional career is yet to be seen, but if he can return to anything resembling his senior year form without falling too far behind the NFL pace, he could become a steal for whoever is willing to make the gamble.

New York Yankees offseason acquisition
Ryan Weathers (0-1) has gotten off to a good start in the 2026 season. Through three starts (16 innings pitched), he owns a 2.81 ERA, 1.38 WHIP, and 18 strikeouts. Weathers, who was a former seventh overall pick in the 2018 MLB Draft, has been moved around to multiple different teams throughout his career thus far, but since 2024 with the Marlins, has been a reliable back-end starter when healthy, with a 3.63 ERA in 2024, a 3.99 ERA in 2025, and a 2.81 ERA thus far this season. Weather's improved control of the years (7.4 percent walk rate in 2026) and ability to miss bats at a decent rate, which is evident by his 26.5 percent strikeout rate and 25.6 percent whiff rate, make him a reliable option in most formats, with some risk to be taken on in the WHIP department (career 1.38 WHIP). However, he should be a decent source in ERA and strikeouts, and should rack up wins in the meantime, as he is backed up by one of the better offenses in MLB, making him a strong add off the waiver if available.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver
DeVonta Smith is a former Heisman Trophy winner and 2021 first-round pick, and while he's generally recognized as one of the best pure separators in the league, he's had a fantasy finish inside the WR20 only once in his five-year career. His 9.6 Half-PPR points per game in 2025 were the lowest since his rookie season, and yet, even set to turn 28 during the 2026 season, he could be one of the smartest buys in dynasty.
Jalen Hurts is owed no guaranteed money beyond this season, and very public rumblings from Philadelphia's front office have implied they want to see a marked improvement in quarterback play before reinvesting in him.
Saquon Barkley, now 29, has entered a stage of his career where workload considerations may become a factor. But perhaps most importantly, more and more writing on the wall has suggested that AJ Brown has played his last down with the Eagles. Should Brown be traded after June 1st, as many around the league are expecting, the path would clear for Smith to assume a true alpha role for the first time since he was a 22-year-old rookie.

New Orleans Pelicans forward/center
Derik Queen erupted for 30 points, 22 rebounds, four assists, one steal, and one block in 41 minutes during Sunday's loss to Minnesota, closing his rookie season on a dominant note. With the Pelicans eliminated from playoff contention, Queen took on a featured role late, showcasing high usage and strong rebounding instincts. He closed the year on a tear with elevated production across the board, putting himself on the radar for next season.

Houston Texans running back
Woody Marks handled more than 230 opportunities as a rookie, the third-highest total of any first-year player in his class, despite being the ninth running back selected in the 2025 NFL Draft. He flirted with low RB2 status over the second half of the season but got there on volume alone, as his efficiency numbers ranked near the bottom of the league. Marks could buck the trend, but historically, rookie running backs who receive that sort of workload after falling to the third day of the draft tend to get there because of a lack of surrounding talent, and that kind of situational success has been mostly unsustainable. In Marks' case, Houston has already added
David Montgomery via trade, and he should be able to add the sort of between-the-tackles presence they may have thought they had in
Nick Chubb last season. Marks is unlikely to see another 200 carries in year two, but where he could see a boost is through the passing game. He saw only a 6.7% target share after leaving USC as one of the most prolific pass-catching backs in college football history. With Montgomery in the fold to handle early down work, Marks could settle into his more natural role as a third down, change of pace back, offsetting some of his fantasy production as a receiver, even if his overall volume should drop.

Dallas Mavericks rookie guard
Ryan Nembhard delivered 15 points, nine rebounds, and 23 assists in 38 minutes during Sunday's win over Chicago, closing the season with a standout performance. The rookie set a franchise rookie record for assists, surpassing the previous mark of 17 set by head coach Jason Kidd on March 13, 1995. He handled primary playmaking duties with multiple starters sidelined and
Cooper Flagg (ankle) exiting early. With Dallas missing the playoffs, Nembhard's late-season surge puts him on the radar for next season, though
Kyrie Irving's return could limit his role.

Carlos Ulberg became the new light heavyweight champion by defeating Jiri Prochazka via first-round knockout in the main event of UFC 327 on Saturday. In the opening round, Prochazka started attacking Ulberg's left leg, and he had success with it, but after injuring his right leg due to an awkward step, Ulberg was forced to defend. As Prochazka was putting pressure on his opponent, Ulberg clipped Prochazka with a right hand that knocked the former titleholder out. In 3:45 of action, Ulberg landed 27 significant strikes. Ulberg is now on a 10-fight winning streak and has improved to 10-1 in the UFC.

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman
Max Muncy has gotten off to a decent start to the season, slashing .245/.339/.490 with four home runs, 11 runs, and four RBI. However, three of those four home runs, five of the 11 runs, and three of the four RBI came in his outing on April 10 against the Texas Rangers, where he went 3-for-5 with three home runs. Muncy has always had the ability to go on hot streaks like this, but the cold streaks and the occasional sitting against left-handed pitching make him a more difficult person to trust on a weekly basis in head-to-head leagues. Rotisserie leagues, on the other hand, remain his best format for producing for fantasy managers throughout a season. Regardless of the league format, Muncy's quality of contact remains elite, as his average exit velocities, barrel percentage, and hard-hit rate all rank in the 84th percentile or better, making him a standout option for fantasy managers in the power department if he's available on your waiver wire.

Detroit Pistons guard
Cade Cunningham produced seven points, eight rebounds, and 14 assists in 22 minutes during Sunday's win over Indiana. Detroit limited his workload late in the season after his return, but he still orchestrated the offense efficiently and led the team in assists. With the Pistons entering the playoffs as the top seed in the East, Cunningham appears on track to handle a larger role moving forward. His playmaking boosts teammates like
Jalen Duren and
Ausar Thompson, making him a strong fantasy option in the postseason.

Former light heavyweight champion Jiri Prochazka suffered a first-round knockout loss to Carlos Ulberg in their title fight in the main event of UFC 327 on Saturday. Early in the opening round, Ulberg's knee popped, but seeing Ulberg seriously compromised, Prochazka urged Ulberg to stand and trade with him. As Ulberg struggled to put any pressure on his limb, Porchazka put pressure on him but the the former champion put his hands down and got caught with a right hook that knocked him out. In 3:45 of action, Prochazka landed 14 significant strikes. It will be interesting to see what's next for Prochazka, as he's now come up short in multiple title tries.

Among one of the deepest classes of tight end prospects in recent history, Vanderbilt's
Eli Stowers stands out for his rare athleticism. While Oregon's
Kenyon Sadiq made headlines with his 4.39-second 40-yard dash, it was Stowers whose historic Combine testing allowed him to register an unofficial Relative Athletic Score of 9.46, a 95th percentile mark for the position. Sadiq will almost certainly be the first tight end selected in the NFL Draft, likely to hear his name called in the middle part of the first round, while Stowers profiles as more of a mid-Day 2 pick. However, part of what makes Sadiq an attractive NFL prospect doesn't necessarily translate to fantasy. He is a willing and sturdy blocker who won't look out of place in a game trending towards heavier personnel packages as an answer to more two-high shells. Stowers, on the other hand, plays more of a jumbo slot role and has reportedly been evaluated as a wide receiver by several teams. He could become an immediate target-earner in the mold of a
Harold Fannin Jr., and while there's little doubt as to who will be the first tight end selected into the NFL, dynasty rookie drafts do not necessarily need to follow suit.

According to ESPN's Shams Charania, Milwaukee Bucks coach Doc Rivers is departing after the team finished 32-50 and missed the playoffs, ending a disappointing run. Rivers was brought in during the 2024 season and finished with a 97-103 record, as the team made two brief playoff appearances before falling short of postseason contention this year. The Bucks now enter another coaching search, and potential roster changes add uncertainty, including
Giannis Antetokounmpo's long-term status. From a fantasy standpoint, a new coach and possible roster shifts could significantly reshape roles and usage next season.

Washington Nationals right-handed reliever,
Clayton Beeter, picked up his second save of the season on Saturday in the Nationals' 3-1 win over the Milwaukee Brewers. Beeter worked the ninth inning up 3-0, and allowed an earned run on one hit, two walks, and two strikeouts. He needed 24 pitches to get through the ninth inning, 12 of which he threw for strikes. Beeter wasn't particularly sharp in this outing; however, he appears to be the leader in the relievers' room to continue to earn saves for a Nationals team that is sitting at 7-8 on the season after sweeping the Brewers over the weekend. Beeter has three save opportunities compared to
Cole Henry's two,
Gus Varland's two, and
Ken Waldichuk's one. While the path is still a bit muddy for Beeter, he appears to be the frontrunner and is worth a waiver wire pickup in deeper leagues requiring saves as a category. On the season, Beeter owns a 3.52 ERA, 1.17 WHIP, and six strikeouts in seven appearances to go along with those two saves.

Azamat Murzakanov suffered the first loss of his career in a third-round TKO to former middleweight title challenger Paulo Costa in the co-main event of UFC 327 on Saturday. After losing the first round, Murzakanov responded in the second with urgency; he pressed forward more aggressively and landed crisp boxing combinations. However, in the third round, Costa landed two headkicks that hurt Murzakanov, and the third headkick knocked Murzakanov down, forcing the referee to stop the fight. In 11:23 of action, Murzakanov landed a takedown and 34 significant strikes.

Dylan Harper (thumb) will not return to Sunday's regular-season finale against Denver after suffering a left thumb injury in the second half. He finished with nine points, three rebounds, one assist, and one steal in 18 minutes. With the Spurs entering the playoffs as the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference, his status is now a key storyline. Harper has been a steady rotation piece, and any absence could shift more backcourt minutes to
Jordan McLaughlin and

In the third round, Costa landed a sequence of brutal head kicks that hurt and dropped Murzakanov, forcing the referee to stop the fight. In 11:23 of action, Costa landed 55 significant strikes.

With Toronto heading into the playoffs, his status becomes a key concern after recently returning from a foot injury.
Jamal Shead stepped into a larger role and could potentially see backup minutes if Quickley faces limitations. Quickley's availability will be critical, while

The injury, though not believed to be serious, brings his rookie season to a close, as Dallas is out of the playoff picture. Flagg averaged 21.0 points, 6.7 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 1.2 steals, and 0.9 blocks in 33.5 minutes across 70 games, establishing himself as a strong early-round fantasy target for next season.

Anaheim Ducks left wing Chris Kreider reached 50 points for the season with a two-assist effort in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Vancouver Canucks. The veteran forward became the sixth Ducks skater to reach at least 50 points in 2025-26, tying a franchise record from Anaheim's Stanley Cup-winning campaign in 2006-07. While Kreider was a feared goal-scorer with the New York Rangers, he has made more of an impact as a playmaker at his new club. He is set to finish a season with more assists than goals for the first time in eight years. Through 74 outings, Kreider has 22 goals and 28 assists.

Vancouver Canucks center Marco Rossi scored the game-winning goal in Sunday's 4-3 overtime victory against the Anaheim Ducks. He also had one assist in the contest as the Canucks recorded only their 24th victory of the season. Both points came on the power play for Rossi, who made his 31st appearance with his new team. Initially, Rossi struggled to find his feet in Vancouver. But he had a red-hot stretch last month, helping him reach respectable numbers. The 24-year-old has recorded eight goals and 21 points with the Canucks. Only a year ago, Rossi was a 60-point scorer with the Minnesota Wild. It's not unrealistic to expect him to get near that mark as a regular top-six contributor during his first full season in Vancouver.

New Jersey Devils center Nico Hischier made a big contribution in Sunday's matchup with the Ottawa Senators, posting his 30th career three-point game in a 4-3 overtime win. The Devils captain made an impact in all situations. He scored an even-strength goal in the first period, had a short-handed assist in the third, and scored the game-winning goal on the power play. Hischier has had several close calls in recent campaigns in his attempt to record his second career 70-point season, and it looks like he will fall just short again in 2025-26. With 81 games played, Hischier has totaled 66 points (28 goals, 38 assists).

He is Columbus' second-highest scoring forward this season, with a career-high 59 points (24 goals, 35 assists) in 81 games. Fantilli has taken another step in his development in 2025-26 and will attempt to record his first 60-point campaign in Tuesday's regular-season finale against the Washington Capitals.
