Cam Skattebo a "Tone-Setter" in Return from Injury
New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo brought an undeniable flash of excitement to the team's improving offense in 2025 before a gruesome ankle injury ended his rookie campaign. In the six games in which he handled a full workload, Skattebo averaged 17.4 half-PPR points per game and was the RB6 from Weeks 2 through 7. Having already cleared several major hurdles in his recovery and taking part in team drills, the second-year runner has made an impression on new head coach John Harbaugh, who recently referred to Skattebo as a "top-tier back" and a "tone-setter". Harbaugh was responsible for the league's most run-heavy offense in his final seasons in Baltimore, and if Skattebo can stay healthy without sacrificing the hard-running style that has defined his early career, he has legitimate league-winning upside.

Alex Lange Earns Another Save for Royals, Quickly Entering Must-Roster Territory
Kansas City Royals' reliever Alex Lange picked up his fourth save on Tuesday, working one inning, allowing one walk, and recording two strikeouts. The save was Lange's fourth in the past week, as he appears to be the front-runner as the Royals' preferred closer at this time. Lucas Erceg, who has been closing games out for the majority of the year, is struggling immensely with a 6.00 ERA and 1.96 WHIP, and has six blown saves. Lange, on the other hand, is now a perfect 4-for-4 in save chances and has a 1.37 WHIP, 3.90 ERA, and 33 strikeouts in 30 innings pitched. Lange has some experience closing out games, dating back to 2023 with the Tigers, where he converted 26 saves and posted a 3.68 ERA and 1.33 WHIP. Considering Lange has recorded four of the last five saves for the Royals and four in the past week, he is becoming a must-add player in all formats where saves are scarce. Carlos Estevez (shoulder), who was the Royals' projected closer coming into the season, has been rehabbing a shoulder and foot injury and doesn't appear to be progressing as the Royals had hoped, which should further solidify Lange as the Royals' reliever to have for the time being.

Caleb Williams Still Has Plenty of Room for Improvement
Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams was responsible for some of the most memorable plays of the 2025 season, and while the obvious wow factor has garnered him accolades and video-game covers, there is plenty about his game that can still be cleaned up on his path to superstar status. Williams finished 32nd in the league with a 58.1% completion rate, while only J.J. McCarthy and Michael Penix Jr. had a higher rate of off-target throws. Head coach Ben Johnson has built a dynamic offense around the 2024 first overall pick, and if the third-year quarterback can do a better job of keeping things on schedule on early downs, there is no reason the Bears can't have one of the most fantasy-friendly units for this season and beyond. Williams is RotoBaller's QB7 with the ceiling to be a fantasy league-winner, and if he can raise his floor in 2026, he should become an every-week starter.

Luis Lara Displays Multi-Category Potential, Remains a High-End Stash
Milwaukee Brewers outfield prospect Luis Lara played in his first game on Tuesday since signing a seven-year, $31 million contract extension and went 1-for-3 with two walks, a run scored, and a stolen base. The Brewers' fifth-ranked prospect has been impressive at Triple-A Nashville this season, slashing .338/.450/.498 and belting seven home runs (last season he hit just two in 136 games) while swiping 19 bags. While the development in the power department has been a welcome sight, the 5-foot-7 Venezuelan is in the midst of a power outage, having not hit a home run in 23 consecutive games now, with his last coming on May 6. Regardless, the team clearly sees him as part of their future after rewarding him with a new contract, and with the way he's hitting, a call-up to the majors could happen by the end of the month. With excellent contact ability and speed, along with some newfound power, the switch-hitter remains a high-end hitter to stash for his multi-category potential.

William Karlsson Produces Multi-Point Performance in Game 4
Vegas Golden Knights center William Karlsson was his squad's only player with multiple points on Tuesday night in Game 4 against the Carolina Hurricanes, contributing a goal and an assist in a 5-3 loss. Karlsson had both points in the second period, helping Vegas to tie the game at three. The Swedish veteran has been anonymous for most of the postseason, but he's averaging a point per game in the Finals. He has found himself centering two scoring machines, skating alongside Brett Howden and Mitch Marner. In total, Karlsson has posted nine points (three goals, six assists) in 14 playoff games since entering the lineup at the start of Round 2.

Could 2026 Be Jalen Hurts' Final Season in Philadelphia?
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts enters the 2026 season with his fifth offensive coordinator in as many seasons. When it's worked out, as with Kellen Moore and Shane Steichen, the Eagles have played for Super Bowls, and Hurts has been an MVP contender. When it goes south, as was the case last season with Kevin Patullo, fingers are quick to be pointed, and there are reportedly some in the building who lay responsibility for the team's offensive struggles in 2025 at the feet of Hurts. The former second-round pick has three years remaining on his current deal, with $22 million guaranteed for 2027, but one needs to look no further back than 2020 for an example of the team moving on from a quarterback shortly after agreeing to a big-money extension. In that situation, it was Hurts taking the starting job from Carson Wentz before the former second overall pick was traded away with three years remaining on his second contract. By all accounts, Hurts has been receptive to the constant change around him, but if Philadelphia's offensive struggles continue under new coordinator Sean Mannion, the next change could very well include him.

Spencer Jones Blasts First Homer, Worth Adding Ahead of Potential Breakout?
New York Yankees left-handed slugger Spencer Jones went 2-for-4 on Tuesday and blasted his first career MLB home run, and it was a monster shot, traveling 443 feet at an exit velocity of 112.2 mph with an 83.3 mph bat speed. This is the type of raw power that Jonest has shown in his time through the Minors, with his 35 homeruns in 2025 and 13 so far in 2026. Jones has been called upon due to injuries in the Yankees' outfield with Aaron Judge (rib), Giancarlo Stanton (calf), and Jasson Dominguez (shoulder) on the injured list. It's unclear what the Yankees' plans are once Dominguez and Stanton return; however, Jones has an opportunity to establish himself at the Major League level in the meantime. In his first stint with the Yankees in May, he slashed .167/.259/.167 with zero home runs, two RBI, and a 3/12 BB/K ratio in 27 plate appearances. However, so far in June, since being called up again, he has six hits in 12 at-bats, including a home run, and four strikeouts. Jones' profile is no secret; he is a high-upside power slugger with poor plate discipline skills. If your team needs some power and upside, Jones is your guy. He's a high-risk, high-reward type of player, and if fantasy managers can catch him while he's hot, the breakout is possible.

Mark Stone Nets Seventh Career Finals Goal
Vegas Golden Knights right wing Mark Stone scored his seventh career Finals goal in Tuesday's 5-3 Game 4 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes. The Golden Knights captain scored 7:22 into the first period after Carolina had jumped to an early 2-0 lead. Only five active players have scored more goals in the Finals, with Brad Marchand (13) at the top of the pile. Stone has two goals in this year's edition. Since returning from a lower-body injury, Stone has found the back of the net four times in six games, adding one assist. Stone is playing well, which is good news for the Golden Knights, who are chasing the second Stanley Cup in franchise history.

Rachaad White to Inherit the Primary Pass-Catching Role?
In his four years with the Buccaneers, Washington Commanders running back Rachaad White never caught fewer than 40 passes in a season, and with a one-year free agent contract bringing him to the nation's capital for 2026, the belief is that he will inherit the primary pass-catching role that was intended for Austin Ekeler over the past two seasons. Ekeler signed a two-year deal in 2024, but a serious concussion in 2024 and an early Achilles injury in 2025 limited him to just 14 games with the Commanders. That said, he still gathered in 40 total receptions in his abbreviated stint and saw at least three targets in nine of those 14 games. 2026 sixth-round pick Kaytron Allen never caught more than 18 passes in any of his four collegiate seasons, and Jacory Croskey-Merritt was limited to nine grabs as a rookie, leaving Jerome Ford and Jeremy McNichols, neither of whom is a roster lock at this point, as the most credible obstacles to a dedicated receiving role for White.

Braden Montgomery Hits Walk-Off Home Run in Debut, is he a Must-Add Player?
Chicago White-Sox 2024 first-round pick, MLB's No. 23 prospect, and the organization's No. 2 prospect, Braden Montgomery, had an MLB debut to remember, as he went 2-for-5 with three RBI, two runs scored, and a walk-off home run to help the White Sox beat the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday by a score of 6-5. Since playing Single-A ball in 2025, Montgomery has had a very successful path through the Minors, hitting .260 or higher at every level. In Triple-A this season, he slashed .314/.422/.548 with 10 homeruns, 52 runs scored, 41 RBI, and five stolen bases with a 15.1 percent walk rate and 24.8 percent strikeout rate. Montgomery was a part of the blockbuster deal with the Red Sox for Garrett Crochet, and with his call-up to the Majors, he should see a lot of playing time in the outfield, and as for fantasy baseball, he has the power and speed combination tto provide a lot of upside, and for the most part, has held his walk to strikeout rate in the Minors in check, making him a solid waiver-wire pickup and a young star on the rise. Fantasy managers will want to find a way to add him to their rosters in most 12-plus team formats.

Logan Stankoven Pots Early Goal in Tuesday's Win
Carolina Hurricanes forward Logan Stankoven got the scoring started in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Finals against the Vegas Golden Knights on Tuesday, lighting the lamp just 1:06 into the first period and helping his team to a 5-3 win. This was Stankoven's fifth opening goal of the 2026 playoffs -- only three players in history have had more in a single postseason. While Stankoven went quiet midway through the playoffs, he has looked sharp again in recent weeks and will carry a three-game point streak into Game 5. The 23-year-old leads the Hurricanes in the playoffs with 11 goals and has 15 points in 18 games.

Nikolaj Ehlers Registers Three Points in Game 4 Win
Carolina Hurricanes winger Nikolaj Ehlers finished Tuesday's 5-3 Game 4 win over the Vegas Golden Knights with three points, scoring once and dishing out two assists. After setting up Jackson Blake and Jordan Staal for goals, Ehlers scored an empty-netter to seal the win. The Danish veteran returned to the score sheet after finishing the previous two games pointless. However, thanks to his two-goal effort in Game 1, Ehlers is still averaging over a point per game in the Finals. He has tallied five points (three goals, two assists) in four contests. Ehlers has made a mark in the playoffs as a scorer and playmaker, recording seven goals and seven assists in 16 appearances.

Jordan Staal Makes History With Another Goal
Carolina Hurricanes center Jordan Staal can't stop scoring in the Stanley Cup Finals against the Vegas Golden Knights and has become the first team captain in NHL history to score in each of the first four games of a Finals series. He potted two goals in Tuesday's 5-3 Game 4 victory, including a spectacular game-winner. With 6:32 played in the third period, Staal flicked the puck into the net while falling on his stomach. The Hurricanes captain has been one of the most productive players in the matchup, amassing six points (five goals, one assist) in four games. He's had power-play points in three consecutive games. Overall, Staal has contributed seven goals and four assists in 17 postseason contests.

Max McGreevy Searching for Improved Putting at TPC Toronto
Max McGreevy has not had an easy time in 2026. The American golfer had several solid results in 2025 including back-to-back Top 3 results to end the season. However, McGreevy has not putted well all year. He ranks 155th in strokes gained to putting (-0.584). The numbers get worse from there as the golfer's one-putt percentage is 35.63% (159th). Putts per round is 29.63 which comes in at 151st. The RBC Canadian Open at TPC Toronto predicates making putts with some scoring opportunities. McGreevy has been in the negative for strokes gained to putting in 11 of his past 13 tournaments. He is still a golfer to stray from a DFS and betting perspective.

Gabriel Landeskog Captures Bill Masterton Trophy And Mark Messier Award
Colorado Avalanche winger Gabriel Landeskog has made history as the first player in NHL history to win both the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy and the Mark Messier Leadership Award. The Masterton Trophy is given to the player who "best exemplifies the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship and dedication to hockey." The Messier Award is presented to the player "who exemplifies great leadership qualities to his team, on and off the ice, during the regular season and who plays a leading role in his community growing the game of hockey." Landeskog missed three regular-season campaigns before making his comeback in 2025-26. He recorded 35 points (14 goals, 21 assists) in 60 games, adding 11 points (six goals, five assists) in 13 postseason outings. His strong playoff showing gives fantasy managers reason to believe Landeskog's scoring will increase next season.

Tom Kim Seeking Better Form Heading into Canada
Tom Kim has not seen the results over the past two seasons. The South Korean golfer is still young but making weekends has been Kim's only real success in 2026 (11 of 13). His only Top 10 of the season was at Myrtle Beach (T-6), which is not exactly a top-tier event. The RBC Canadian Open is not a signature event either but the concern is Kim's driving distance (301.6 yards ranks 101st). Kim has improved his approach to the green metrics lately but putting in two of the past four tournaments saw him lose over 1.5 strokes each time. Kim just has not been able to put rounds together which makes him a fade even on an easier to play golf course in Toronto.

Joe Highsmith Searching for Hope North of the Border
Joe Highsmith has endured a rough 2026. The American golfer has not finished inside the Top 25 all season. Worse, Highsmith has missed three straight cuts. Numbers have tilted worse from an approach standpoint during this span. Greens in regulation has dropped to a hideous 60.53% (153rd). Scoring average for Highsmith has dropped to 71.53 (153rd). With a long Par-70 looming this week, outlooks for Highsmith range from a fade to a don't even think about it. His betting numbers span from +120000 for a win to +4000 merely for a Top 10 result. That illustrates a huge departure from the form we saw Highsmith have early in 2025.

Adam Hadwin Not Expecting Much at TPC Toronto
Adam Hadwin has been mostly playing PGA second tier events in 2026. The Canadian golfer missed the cut at The CJ CUP Byron Nelson. Worse, it was his fifth tournament where he dropped two or more strokes gained. The last couple of seasons have been an extreme struggle for Hadwin. Driving distance has been in the negative in three of the past four events while accuracy was positive in only three of his last nine stroke play tournaments. Hadwin, at 39, appears at the tail end of his professional golfing career. This is why few expect much at the RBC Canadian Open. When one ranked 158th (-0.603) strokes gained overall in 2025, outlooks get more grim.

Ryan Fox has been here before. The New Zealand golfer stepped up in Toronto last year and defeated Sam Burns in a playoff. That gave Fox his second career victory on the PGA Tour. He is a long hitter who ranks 24th in driving distance. For Fox, the question marks are landing safely on the fairway and greens. The Memorial featured a mixed bag where accuracy was rough (-13% to the field off the tee). However, Fox did gain 1.36 strokes to putting. Most forget Fox finished T-7 in 2024 up in Canada with strong putting and off the tee numbers. He gained 2.77 strokes in his win last year at Osprey Village. Expected calm conditions could fuel a run from a DFS point of view.

Tony Finau Needs to Finish Holes in Toronto
Tony Finau has been driving the golf ball pretty well the past several events. The American golfer has been double digits yard-wise above the field average. Four straight tournaments of that has been noteworthy but accuracy has been a question (51.5% - 146th). Another problem is greens in regulation which ranks 144th at 61.74%. Too many tournaments see Finau fall off for one reason or another. He did grind out a Top 30 at the Memorial but never really contended. Driver accuracy and putting have been two major liabilities. Volatility is high with Finau but he can be worth a look from a DFS perspective in Toronto.

It was his worst round of golf since the opening round at Valspar in March. Osprey Village is 7,389 yards and can feature softer playing conditions. The concern with Eckroat has been form. Putting strokes gained has not been greater than one in any 2026 event. Driving distance and accuracy has also been in the negative direction over the past three tournaments. Eckroat may be one of those golfers to consider fading in both DFS and betting scenarios.

Zach Bauchou keeps making cuts and producing results. The American golfer has only missed two weekends in 14 events this 2026 season. That includes five Top 30 results highlighted by a T-6 at The CJ Cup Byron Nelson. Driving accuracy is important at TPC Toronto (Osprey Valley). Contending is one thing but winning is another as Bauchou is around +10000 via DraftKings. Putting is another issue as Bauchou overall is average (75th at 0.026 strokes gained). However, four of the past five events have seen him gain more than a stroke overall. With fewer bigger names, Bauchou can be a potential betting option for Top 20 or Top 40 results.

Tommy Fleetwood in Great Form Heading to RBC Canadian Open
Tommy Fleetwood recorded his sixth top-10 of the season at the Memorial Tournament, finishing T4 while gaining more than 5.9 strokes around the greens. He looks to keep that momentum going at the RBC Canadian Open, where he has never finished worse than T21 in three appearances, albeit at different venues. Fleetwood sits 10th tee-to-green (+1.221), 25th off the tee (+0.419), and 59th on approach (+0.221). He has been the best player on tour around the greens, ranking first and gaining +0.580 strokes per round. The flat stick has also been working for Fleetwood as of late, gaining strokes putting in five of his last six events. He will be hunting his second career win this week and offers elite upside at $10,300 on DraftKings.

On the year, Conners sits only 106th in total strokes gained (-0.198), 38th on approach (+0.321), 126th in putting (-0.316), and 104th in driving distance, all important metrics at this course. However, he has been much better with precision play, ranking eighth in driving accuracy, and is in the 98th percentile in proximity from 100-150 yards, a distance that accounted for over 33% of approach shots here last year. If he can get anything going with the flat stick this week, Conners shapes up as a solid value play at $7,800 on DraftKings.

Luke Clanton has not had a strong season thus far, recording only one result inside the top 25 through 12 events.

Clanton sits 147th in total strokes gained this year (-1.060 per round), 153rd putting (-0.556), and 110th in driving distance. The one area of his game where he has been solid is on approach, ranking 40th and gaining +0.316 strokes a round. Another positive is that he is also in the 69th percentile in proximity from 100-150 yards, a distance that accounted for over a third of approach shots here last year. However, at $6,600 on DraftKings, he is still best left on the bench until he shows any signs of a turnaround.

He is also in the 95th percentile in proximity from 100-150 yards, a distance that accounted for over a third of approach shots here last year.

Jac Caglianone Goes Deep Twice in Return From Shoulder Injury
Kansas City Royals first baseman/outfielder Jac Caglianone showed that his shoulder is completely healthy on Tuesday night in his team's 5-3 victory over the visiting Texas Rangers by going 3-for-3 at the plate with two home runs, three RBI, a stolen base, and a walk to boost his season average to .261 and his OPS to .780. The 23-year-old left-handed slugger was pulled from Saturday's game early against the Minnesota Twins with soreness in his right shoulder, and he was held out of Sunday's series finale. Cags returned on Tuesday after a scheduled day off on Monday, and he appears to be just fine physically. Both of Caglianone's long balls were moonshots off Rangers starter Nathan Eovaldi to give him eight home runs and 18 RBI on the season in his first full season in the big leagues with the Royals. The former first-round pick out of the University of Florida is slowly making adjustments at the plate with his contact and strikeout rates, and a breakout could be coming sooner rather than later.

Dylan Cease Strikes Out 11 in First Game Back From the Injured List
Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Dylan Cease looked as healthy as ever on Tuesday night in his team's 3-2 win over the visiting Philadelphia Phillies at the Rogers Centre in what was his first start back from a stay on the 15-day injured list due to a strained hamstring. Cease allowed just one earned run on three hits while walking one and striking out 11 in six innings for a no-decision. He tied a career high with 29 swings and misses, and it was the fourth time this year that he struck out double-digit batters. The fantastic first outing back lowered Cease's season ERA to 2.91. The 30-year-old has been outstanding so far in his first season in Toronto, and he has had at least seven strikeouts in each of his last six outings, dating back to May 2. Cease has turned into a must-start fantasy asset north of the border and will get a juicy matchup his next time out against the division-rival Boston Red Sox. In his first start against the BoSox on April 27, Cease took his first loss of the year, allowing four earned runs on seven hits while walking three and striking out a season-low five batters in 5 2/3 innings of work.

Cole Ragans Scheduled to Throw a Bullpen on Wednesday
Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Cole Ragans (elbow) is scheduled to throw a bullpen on Wednesday, according to Anne Rogers of MLB.com. Ragans has been on the 15-day injured list since early May due to a left elbow impingement. He was shut down from his initial attempt to come back in late May after experiencing renewed stiffness in the elbow, which could lead Kansas City to be extra cautious with him this time around. Across 35 1/3 innings (eight starts) before the injury, Ragans recorded a 1-4 record with a 4.84 ERA, 1.42 WHIP, and 45 strikeouts. The 28-year-old struggled mightily with command, issuing walks to 15.2% of the batters he faced. Ragans emerged as a fantasy ace in 2024 when he posted a 3.14 ERA with 223 strikeouts across 186 1/3 innings, but he's struggled with injuries and inconsistency since then. Still, the left-hander's ability to miss bats provides him with significant fantasy upside. Barring a setback, Ragans could be on track to return to the Royals rotation in late June or early July.

Mick Abel to Make a Rehab Start on Wednesday
Minnesota Twins right-hander Mick Abel (elbow) is scheduled to throw three innings or 50 pitches in a minor-league rehab start with Triple-A St. Paul on Wednesday, according to Dan Hayes of The Athletic. It will be Abel's first game action since he landed on the 15-day injured list with inflammation in his right elbow back in late April. Because of how long the 24-year-old has been out, he will require multiple rehab starts before the Twins consider activating him and having him rejoin the starting rotation. The former first-round pick by the Philadelphia Phillies in 2020 out of a high school in Oregon has only made four appearances (three starts) for Minnesota this year and has posted a 3.98 ERA (2.76 FIP), 1.57 WHIP, and 23:10 K:BB in 20 1/3 frames. Abel has generated above-average strikeout rates in the minors with high-end velocity, but control has been an issue. His return isn't imminent, but in deeper fantasy leagues, Abel could be worth stashing for his strikeout upside once he gets closer to coming off the IL. He's currently rostered in just 13% of Yahoo leagues.
