Alexander Volkov won his second consecutive fight by defeating Waldo Cortes-Acosta via unanimous decision on the main card of UFC 328 on Saturday. Volkov was in control for the majority of the fight as he was keeping Cortes-Acosta at a distance with kicks to the body and legs, or by landing with his jab. When it was over, the judges scored the fight 30-27, 29-28 and 29-28 in favor of Volkov. In 15 minutes of action, Volkov landed 88 significant strikes. With the win, Volkov improved to 40-11 as a pro and is now 14-5 in the UFC.--Alen Kurbasic

A fifth-round pick out of Oregon in the 2025 NFL Draft, San Francisco 49ers running back Jordan James did not record a single carry during his rookie season. Still, despite the uninspiring start to his pro career, James could be a worthy target for dynasty managers. Superstar 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey remains atop the team's depth chart at the position and will dominate the team's backfield touches as long as he's healthy. However, James could be positioned to earn San Francisco's RB2 role, with the unproven duo of Isaac Guerendo and 2026 third-rounder Kaelon Black as his primary competition. McCaffrey is entering his age-30 season and has led the NFL in touches in two out of the last three years. If James can secure the lead backup role in San Francisco, he immediately becomes one of the best handcuff options in fantasy football. In dynasty formats, James profiles as a worthy dart throw for managers to stash in a bench spot just in case McCaffrey goes down with an injury.--Will Brady

Atlanta Braves catcher Drake Baldwin has quickly become one of the best offensive catchers in baseball in just his second season in the big leagues. Baldwin went 1-for-4 at the plate with a solo home run in Sunday's 7-2 win over the hosting Los Angeles Dodgers and is now hitting .297/.383/.509 with an .892 OPS, 10 home runs, 32 RBI, 35 runs scored, and a stolen base in 41 games across 188 plate appearances. The 25-year-old backstop has cooled off since his hot start earlier in the season, but he has still hit .257 (9-for-35) with three long balls, a double, seven RBI, and five runs scored in May. The former third-rounder in 2022 out of Missouri State was the National League Rookie of the Year in 2025, when he hit .274/.341/.469 with an .810 OPS, 19 homers, and 80 RBI in 124 games. Even though Sean Murphy has returned from offseason hip surgery, Baldwin will play regularly in Atlanta and is a bit part of the first-place Braves' offense. His strong start is backed up by the fact that he's in the 90th percentile in hard-hit rate.--Keith Hernandez

After spending the first five seasons of his NFL career with the Miami Dolphins, wide receiver Jaylen Waddle enters his first year with the Denver Broncos in 2026. Denver acquired Waddle on the back of his strong 2025 campaign with Miami, in which he hauled in 64 receptions for 910 yards and six touchdowns on 100 targets across 16 games. Waddle will face stronger target competition in Denver from wide receivers Courtland Sutton, Troy Franklin, and Pat Bryant. However, the Broncos should also offer a stronger overall offensive environment, and Denver quarterback Bo Nix (ankle) led the NFL in pass attempts in 2025. All in all, Waddle should be better positioned to capitalize on the final years of his prime in Denver than he was in Miami. Waddle's dynasty stock is rising as he enters his age-28 season in 2026.--Will Brady

Chicago Cubs outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong was one of the best breakout players in 2025, which earned him his first All-Star appearance. He finished his second full season in the majors with a .247/.287/.481 slash line with a .768 OPS, 31 home runs, 95 RBI, 35 stolen bases, and 91 runs scored in 157 regular-season games across 647 plate appearances. However, he slowed down considerably in the second half, and his poor plate discipline was very much a concern coming into 2026. So far through 41 games played this year, PCA has been a disappointment, hitting .245 (37-for-151) with four home runs, 17 RBI, nine stolen bases, 24 runs scored, 12 walks, and 42 strikeouts over 167 plate appearances. He did recently have a six-game hitting streak in May, but Crow-Armstrong's plate discipline remains concerning. He's in the 29th percentile in walk rate and the 32nd percentile in strikeout rate. The good news is that Crow-Armstrong is in the 78th percentile in hard-hit rate, but his speed is the most reliable part of his game. His buy-low window remains open, but fantasy managers need to know what they're getting -- a streaky power/speed commodity with unreliable on-base skills.--Keith Hernandez

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs saw his production drop across the board in 2025, as he recorded 58 receptions for 566 yards and four touchdowns on 88 targets across 16 games. After averaging 7.6 targets per game in 2024, Downs earned just 5.5 targets per game last season. The Colts addition of 2025 first-round tight end Tyler Warren played a big role in Downs' diminished role, as Warren soaked up many of the short and intermediate-area targets in the team's offense. While Warren's role in the passing game will likely only grow in 2026, Downs' production outlook is still trending upward following Indianapolis' offseason trade of wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. Outside of Alec Pierce, who is best known for his work as a downfield threat, Downs profiles as the only other proven wideout in Indianapolis. Due to his expected uptick in target volume, Downs has clear buy-low appeal for dynasty managers.--Will Brady

Shane Van Gisbergen put on a dominant performance in this year's Go Bowling at the Glen at Watkins Glen International as he won the race without much competition. Van Gisbergen began the race from the pole position in first and led every lap in the first stage until his first pit stop on lap 18. Despite losing positions from pitting, Van Gisbergen made enough of a gap to the rest of the field to finish the first stage in eighth, scoring three stage points at the end of the first stage. In the second stage, Van Gisbergen regained the lead and dominated the stage until pitting for a second time during the lap 40 caution. He then spent the rest of the stage regaining the lead from Michael McDowell, which he successfully did on lap 47. Van Gisbergen went on to win the second stage and earn 10 more stage points. In the final stage, Van Gisbergen left the field behind and led every lap until his final pit stop on lap 76. This left him in 22nd as others pitted before him, and then Van Gisbergen had to make up a 28-second gap behind the lead. Van Gisbergen spent the rest of the race making up the gap and passing others on the way until he caught up with the leader, Ty Gibbs, on lap 93 and never looked back, as he went on to earn his first win of the 2026 season and his second at Watkins Glen. With his Watkins Glen victory, SVG now moves to 16th in the regular season standings after 12 races this year.--Sean Engel - RotoBaller

Thanks to hamstring and collarbone injuries that forced him to miss nine games, veteran wide receiver Mike Evans posted the least productive season of his career in 2025. Across eight games for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Evans hauled in 30 receptions for 368 yards and three touchdowns on 62 targets. Despite the down year, the San Francisco 49ers signed Evans to a three-year, $42 million contract in free agency. In San Francisco, Evans profiles as the clear WR1, particularly following the news that former 49ers wideout Jauan Jennings is signing with the Minnesota Vikings for 2026. As Evans enters his age-33 season, age and injury-related regression are obviously a concern. Still, he should see plenty of red zone opportunities while playing for the potent 49ers offense. For dynasty managers operating in win-now mode, Evans' stock is rising following his move from Tampa Bay to San Francisco.--Will Brady

Michael McDowell was one of the top contenders for the win at the Go Bowling at the Glen at Watkins Glen International. McDowell started the race from second and ran there during the whole first stage until his first pit stop on lap 17. Due to how far away from the pack McDowell was at the time of pitting, he did not fall too far behind and was able to finish the first stage in 10th and gain one stage point. In the second stage, McDowell ran in the top three behind Shane Van Gisbergen and Connor Zilisch through most of the stage, but took a different pit strategy on lap 40 during a caution. Unlike Van Gisbergen and Zilisch, McDowell stayed off of pit road and inherited the lead when the race went back to green. Due to being on older tires, McDowell steadily lost positions at the end of the stage and fell back to 12th, losing out on further stage points. McDowell pitted between stages and then used the tire advantage he gained in the third stage to make it up to second behind Van Gisbergen until his final pit stop on lap 75. From there, McDowell charged through the field to make it back to second, where he finished the race. This would be McDowell's second top-5 finish of the season, as well as his first at Watkins Glen. After 12 races this season, McDowell is now 21st in the regular-season standings and 58 points behind the cutoff position for the final spot in this year's Chase.--Sean Engel - RotoBaller

Ty Gibbs of Joe Gibbs Racing placed third in the Go Bowling at the Glen at Watkins Glen International. Starting from the 10th position, Ty Gibbs was one of the more consistent drivers to run towards the front of the pack. The No. 54 Toyota driver ran inside the top 10 through most of the first stage until heading to pit road before the end of the stage on lap 17. As a result, he fell back to 17th, his eventual finishing position for the first stage, which gave him no stage points. In the second stage, Gibbs cycled back to the front of the pack thanks to moves on the track and great pit stops. This allowed Gibbs to make it up to third by the end of the second stage and score eight stage points. In the final stage, Gibbs made a pit stop strategy by pitting early on lap 61 and then tried to make it through the rest of the race by saving fuel. This strategy gave Gibbs the lead once Shane Van Gisbergen went to pit road on lap 76. While Gibbs held on to the lead and was holding off Connor Zilisch and A.J. Allmendinger, Gibbs soon had to deal with Van Gisbergen as he rallied from 22nd to the front. Gibbs lost the lead to SVG with seven laps to go, and then he also lost second place to Michael McDowell, leaving Gibbs to finish the race in third. This was a new career-best finish for Gibbs at Watkins Glen in the Cup Series, and he now moves to sixth in the regular-season standings after 12 races this year.--Sean Engel - RotoBaller

New York Mets right-handed closer Devin Williams' numbers still look pretty bad on the surface, as he enters Monday's action with a 5.68 ERA and 1.66 WHIP with 21 strikeouts and six walks in 12 2/3 innings pitched in his first 15 appearances with the Mets. But outside of a four-game stretch from April 15 to April 23, when he allowed eight earned runs on nine hits in two innings for a blown save and a loss, Williams hasn't allowed any runs. In his last six appearances covering 5 2/3 innings pitched, he has allowed just one hit, no runs, no walks, and has struck out eight batters. The 31-year-old two-time All-Star has five saves on the season and has three saves and a win in four outings so far in May. Williams has clearly turned things around in New York of late, potentially closing his buy-low window in fantasy baseball. He's only blown one save, and his rough four-game stretch in April is the reason why his surface stats still look gross. His recent strong performances have quieted any chatter of the Mets potentially making a change in the ninth inning.--Keith Hernandez

Tyler Reddick continued his strong season with a fifth-place finish at the Go Bowling at the Glen at Watkins Glen International. Reddick started the race from 15th and, despite gaining a couple of positions, went to pit road early in the first stage for tires and fuel. As a result, Reddick ended the first stage in 19th place and did not score any stage points. Reddick used this to his advantage, moving towards the front as other drivers pitted between stages. In the second stage, Reddick ran inside the top 10 through most of the stage, but progressively gained positions until he made it up to second by the end of the stage. Reddick was unable to get past Shane Van Gisbergen, but he still left the second stage with nine stage points. In the final stage, Reddick ran in second and was chasing Van Gisbergen through most of the stage until pitting on lap 71. From there, Reddick would run without issue until the end of the race, where he finished in fifth. This would be Reddick's first top-5 finish of his Cup career at Watkins Glen and eighth overall of the 2026 season. With 12 races now completed, Reddick remains the Cup Series regular-season standings points leader by 129 points over Denny Hamlin.--Sean Engel - RotoBaller

Austin Dillon of Richard Childress Racing finished in sixth position for the Go Bowling at the Glen at Watkins Glen International. Dillon began the race from the 25th position, and in the first stage, he did not make much movement through the field. He did make one pit stop on lap 15 and then moved up to 22nd by the end of the first stage. Dillon failed to score stage points, but as others went to pit road between stages, he was able to start the second stage ahead of them. This strategy proved to pay off as he maintained track position towards the front through most of the second stage. The No. 3 Chevrolet driver went on to finish the second stage in fourth and gained seven stage points. In the final stage, Dillon ran as high as third, but did not have a fast enough car to run alongside the leaders at the front. Instead, he fought for a top-5 position through the rest of the stage, but fell short of finishing there. Still, Dillon scored his first top-10 finish of the 2026 season in sixth, which was also his first career top-10 finish at Watkins Glen. After 12 races this season, Dillon now moves to 22nd in the regular-season standings and is 63 points behind 16th position, the cutoff position to make The Chase.--Sean Engel - RotoBaller

It's been a frustrating season so far for New York Yankees second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr., who enters Week 7 with a .207 average (30-for-145) with only four home runs, 14 RBI, 17 runs scored, 11 stolen bases, 16 walks, and 46 strikeouts in 163 plate appearances across 40 games played in his second full season in the Bronx. The 28-year-old two-time All-Star hit a career-high 31 home runs, drove in 80 runs, and stole 31 bases in his first full year with the Yanks in 2025, making him the clear top option at second base in fantasy going into the 2026 campaign. Chisholm is still providing useful speed on the basepaths, but his power numbers are down early on, and he has a bad combination of ranking in the 20th percentile in strikeout rate and the 26th percentile in hard-hit rate. In 10 games so far in May, Chisholm has gone 8-for-36 (.222) with a homer, double, four RBI, four runs, and two steals. He hasn't had a multi-hit game since April 26. It's still early, though, so there's a buy-low opportunity for his power/speed potential.--Keith Hernandez

Seattle Mariners right-hander Bryan Woo doesn't have amazing surface stats (4.02 ERA, 38 strikeouts in 47 innings pitched over his eight starts), but most of the damage against him (13 earned runs in nine innings) came in two starts against the St. Louis Cardinals and Kansas City Royals. He showed his true potential his last time out in a bounce-back effort against the first-place Atlanta Braves on May 6, when he tossed six shutout frames with only one hit allowed and a season-high-tying nine strikeouts. The 26-year-old has a 1.00 WHIP on the year and only eight walks in 47 innings pitched. The 26-year-old's 3.80 FIP and 3.53 xERA show that he's pitched better than his surface stats suggest, making him a prime buy-low candidate in fantasy baseball. Woo is also in the 96th percentile in walk rate, and he's had ERAs under 3.00 in each of the last two seasons with the M's. He'll have another difficult matchup upcoming against the Houston Astros, but if he has another strong start against them, it may be difficult to buy low on him.--Keith Hernandez

The Jacksonville Jaguars signed free-agent running back Ameer Abdullah to an undisclosed deal on Monday, according to the team. In a corresponding move, the team waived running back Ja'Quinden Jackson. Adbullah, 32, will give the Jaguars additional depth in the backfield going into training camp this year after they lost Travis Etienne Jr. to free agency. He's unlikely to have a role for the Jaguars if he makes the roster out of training camp, as the Jags also have Bhayshul Tuten, Chris Rodriguez Jr., and LeQuint Allen Jr. at the position, as well as DeeJay Dallas. Abdullah played in 13 games for the Indianapolis Colts in 2025 but saw just 14 carries for 60 yards and one touchdown while catching 16 of his 17 targets in the passing game for 99 yards. If anything, Abdullah will most likely be an option on special teams for the Jaguars if he's still with the team when the regular season starts in early September.--Keith Hernandez

Atlanta Braves first baseman Matt Olson is on pace for a monster season in 2026. He went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 7-2 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers, and he's now slashing .296/.377/.654 with 14 home runs in 41 games and 183 plate appearances. Olson leads the league in RBI (36), doubles (15), runs scored (36), OPS (1.031), and total bases (104) for the first-place Braves. The 32-year-old veteran left-handed slugger has gone 10-for-34 (.294) in nine games so far in May with five home runs, two doubles, eight RBI, nine runs scored, and one stolen base. Not only does Olson rake, but he's been durable, as he entered the 2026 campaign with the longest active consecutive games streak in baseball. His underlying numbers back up his strong start, too, as he's in the 92nd percentile in hard-hit rate, and he holds a .406 xwOBA, which ranks 12th in baseball. Olson probably won't have a batting average near .300 by season's end, but his durability and power production remain elite for fantasy managers.--Keith Hernandez

Los Angeles Angels right-hander Grayson Rodriguez (shoulder) turned some heads in his second minor-league rehab start on Sunday with Single-A Rancho Cucamonga. The 26-year-old allowed two earned runs on seven hits while walking two and striking out 11 in just 4 2/3 innings pitched. Rodriguez also had a wild pitch and hit a batter, but he got up to 94 pitches in the outing, so he may not need another rehab start before being activated from the 15-day injured list. He threw 63 of his 94 pitches for strikes. In his first rehab outing in the Arizona Complex League last week, Rodriguez allowed just one earned run with seven strikeouts and no walks in five innings. He has looked sharp down on the farm, but it has also come against weak competition. The former Orioles top prospect is nearing his Angels regular-season debut and is worth a look for fantasy managers in deeper leagues who need rotation arms. Right now, Rodriguez is only rostered in 13% of Yahoo leagues.--Keith Hernandez

New York Yankees right-hander Gerrit Cole (elbow) took a step forward in his fifth minor-league rehab start on Sunday with Double-A Somerset, allowing three runs (two earned) on four hits while walking one and striking out eight in five innings of work. Cole got up to 77 pitches in his latest outing and didn't give up a home run for the first time as he works his way back from Tommy John surgery that he had last March. It was an encouraging performance from the former Cy Young winner and six-time All-Star, although he will probably require another rehab start or two before the Yankees reinstate him from the 15-day injured list. But barring a setback with his right elbow, Cole should rejoin New York's starting rotation before the end of May. In his five rehab starts, he's posted a 5.32 ERA and 1.01 WHIP with 22 strikeouts and only two walks in 23 2/3 innings pitched. Home runs have been an issue, but his control has been a bright spot. Fantasy managers will want to temper expectations for Cole initially when he returns to the Bronx, but he should be scooped up if he's available on your league's waiver wire. He's rostered in 84% of Yahoo leagues.--Keith Hernandez

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said after Sunday's loss to the Atlanta Braves that he expects shortstop Mookie Betts (oblique) to be in the starting lineup for Monday's series opener versus the division-rival San Francisco Giants, according to Katie Woo of The Athletic. The Dodgers will activate Betts from the 10-day injured list to kick off Week 7 of the 2026 season after he was placed on the IL back on April 5 with a strained right oblique. In two minor-league rehab games with Triple-A Oklahoma City, Betts went 2-for-5 at the plate with a run scored, a walk, and two strikeouts. The 33-year-old former MVP and eight-time All-Star will return to starting duties at the 6 in L.A., pushing Hyeseong Kim back into a utility role for the Dodgers. Betts hit .179 (5-for-28) with two homers, seven RBI, and seven runs scored in eight games before his injury, but he needs to be returned to all starting lineups in traditional fantasy leagues now that he's on the cusp of activation. He's set to face Giants right-hander Trevor McDonald in his first game back on Monday.--Keith Hernandez

Chicago White Sox pitching prospect Hagen Smith is showcasing high upside at the Triple-A level and is making a strong case to be viewed as a solid stash option in deeper 12+ team leagues ahead of Week 7. Smith joined the White Sox with the fifth overall selection in the 2024 MLB Draft and has quickly progressed through the system during his young MiLB career. During the 2025 campaign, Smith spent his entire season with Double-A and logged 75 2/3 innings with a 3.57 ERA with 108 punchouts and 56 walks. Despite his shaky command, Smith was sent to Triple-A to begin the 2026 campaign and has continued to show steady progress. Through his first 26 1/3 innings at Triple-A, he has struck out an impressive 35 batters. While his 4.10 ERA seems high, it is highly inflated by his recent five-run outing on May 9. Removing that start, Smith would carry a 2.82 ERA over 22 1/3 innings. If Smith continues this trajectory, he should be in the mix to join the rotation in the coming weeks.--Andy Smith

Athletics outfield prospect Henry Bolte holds high-end stash upside when looking for prospects who can make a high impact in the stolen base category. Through his first 36 games of the Triple-A regular season, the team's No. 5-ranked prospect has swiped an impressive 16 bags. During this stint, he has held a .351/.419/.669 slash line with seven doubles, 12 home runs, and a 38:17 K:BB. Last summer, Bolte spent most of his time with the Double-A level before joining Triple-A Las Vegas late in the second half. During his first taste of Triple-A ball, Bolte looked just as comfortable as he is now, holding a similar .300/.404/.433 line with 13 stolen bases over 34 games. Bolte has shown immense stolen base upside with increasing power. Even though there is no clear spot on the MLB roster for him, one injury could create a clear path for him. His five-category skill set makes him a top option to stash in 12+ team category formats.--Andy Smith

Chicago White Sox outfield prospect Braden Montgomery was recently promoted to Triple-A and is quickly approaching his MLB debut. Montgomery is considered the top hitting prospect in the White Sox system and remains just one stop away from joining the MLB roster. Montgomery began his 2026 campaign with Double-A but needed only another 27 games at the level to prove he was ready to face the top pitching in the minor leagues. At Double-A, Montgomery held a .313/.429/.606 line with five doubles, six home runs, and two stolen bases. Since moving up to Triple-A Charlotte, Montgomery has gone 7-for-23 with two doubles and an 8:2 K: BB over a short five-game stint. If Montgomery continues this pace, the former 12th overall selection could debut in Chicago in the near future, making him a prime stash option for those in standard 12-team leagues.--Andy Smith

Miami Marlins pitching prospect Thomas White carries high-end stash upside ahead of Week 7 of the fantasy baseball season. With his teammate, Robby Snelling, recently earning the call to the majors this past weekend, White now stands as one of the clear top pitching prospects to stash. White is considered the team's top prospect and overall No. 14-ranked prospect in the sport according to MLB.com. The former 35th overall selection nearly made the Opening Day roster out of camp but suffered an oblique injury, which hindered his chances. However, White has since been activated off the 7-day injured list and is showing his raw talent at Triple-A. Over his first 14 2/3 innings of the young season, the lefty has struck out 22 hitters while carrying a 3.07 ERA. While White will still have to showcase more sustained success at Triple-A, he is quickly approaching his MLB debut and is on track for a late first-half promotion.--Andy Smith

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge has been tearing the cover off the baseball in 2026, leading the league in home runs with 16 and sixth in RBI with 30. His Baseball Savant Page is covered in red with most of his underlying hitting metrics ranking in the 93rd percentile or better. Judge is delivering for fantasy managers on his consensus top 3 pick in most fantasy drafts earlier this spring, and is on pace for delivering north of 50 home runs, 100 RBI, and 100 runs scored once again. The one area where he has been struggling a bit compared to years prior is his strikeout rate, which is up to 29.3 percent this year, up from 23.6 percent in 2025 and 24.3 percent in 2024. That said, he still makes up for it with a 17.7 percent walk rate, which is in the 96th percentile in all of MLB. At 34-years-old, Judge remains the best outfielder in the game and is showing no signs of slowing down.--Nicho Roessler

New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte was one of Drake Maye's favorite targets in a brilliant 2025 campaign that nearly landed the 23-year-old quarterback the MVP. However, there may be no player more impacted by the trade of A.J. Brown, a deal many dynasty managers are already viewing as an inevitability. Should Boutte stick in New England, he could struggle to find reliable snaps in an offense featuring two new outside receivers in Brown and big-ticket free agent acquisition Romeo Doubs. Meanwhile, Boutte's name has also come up as a player who could be heading to Philadelphia as part of the Brown deal, which would put him in another crowded room in a low-volume passing offense. Boutte proved himself one of the most efficient downfield receivers in the league in 2025, but regardless of where he plays in 2026, his dynasty value (currently RotoBaller's WR74) is almost certain to take a further hit.--Patrick McGrath

New York Mets infield/outfield prospect A.J. Ewing has looked very comfortable in his first taste of Triple-A and is quickly approaching his MLB debut. Ewing, the team's No. 3-ranked prospect according to MLB.com, opened the 2026 campaign with Double-A Binghamton but has already earned the call to Triple-A Syracuse. With Double-A, Ewing has posted an elite .349/.481/.571 slash line with two home runs and an impressive 12 stolen bases over a short 18-game stint. Throughout his first 11 games at the Triple-A level, Ewing has looked just as comfortable, posting a dominant .317/.391/.415 line with four stolen bases. Even though his power has yet to translate against Triple-A pitching, he continues to showcase elite speed. With the Mets having numerous hitters on the shelf, such as Jorge Polanco, Luis Robert Jr., and Francisco Lindor, Ewing could debut in the big leagues much sooner than anticipated.--Andy Smith
