Sungjae Im has not been able to find much stability in his game so far this year, recording only one finish better than T46, which came at the Valspar Championship a few weeks ago. He now looks to get things going at the RBC Heritage, where he has been excellent in the past, with five straight finishes of T21 or better. In every trip to Harbour Town, he has gained strokes off the tee, with his short game consistently helping elevate his finishes. This year, he ranks 104th off the tee (-0.101 strokes per round) and 121st on approach (-0.240), but sits 23rd around the green (+0.307) and 57th putting (+0.197). He still appears to be finding his form after returning from a wrist injury, but this sets up as a strong bounce-back spot. At just $6,700 on DraftKings, he offers plenty of upside at a course where he has already found success.--Dakota Legg - RotoBaller

Matt Fitzpatrick struggled with his putter at The Masters, losing over 1.78 strokes on the greens, but still put together a solid tournament, finishing T18. He now turns his attention to the RBC Heritage, where he has five prior top-25 finishes, including a win in 2023. His best results here have typically come when both his off the tee play and putting are clicking. This year, he ranks second in strokes gained tee to green (+1.667 per round), seventh on approach (+0.810), 22nd around the green (+0.309), and 94th in putting (-0.083). He has also been elite off the tee in terms of accuracy, sitting third on Tour and hitting over 70% of fairways. Fitzpatrick's recent form has been excellent, and at a course where he has already had success, he profiles as an elite option at $10,000 on DraftKings.--Dakota Legg - RotoBaller

Jason Day had a difficult Sunday at The Masters, entering the final round just three strokes off the lead before posting a three-over 75 to fall back to T12. Despite the strong overall finish, he'll look to move past that performance at the RBC Heritage. In eight trips to Harbour Town, Day has recorded four top-25 finishes along with two missed cuts. Success here typically favors precision over raw power, which should suit his game. He ranks 48th in driving accuracy, 10th around the green (+0.457), and 26th in putting (+0.482). However, he has struggled elsewhere, sitting 132nd on approach (-0.352) and is in just the 56th percentile in proximity from 150-200 yards, a range that made up over 43% of approach shots here last year. Day relies heavily on his short game, but concerns with his iron play could hold him back at his $8,000 price tag on DraftKings.--Dakota Legg - RotoBaller

Akshay Bhatia missed the cut at The Masters, losing 4.55 strokes tee to green, though the putter was once again solid, gaining over 2.05 strokes. He now heads to the RBC Heritage, where he's recorded a missed cut, T18, and T42, with short game and off-the-tee issues holding him back in all three appearances. However, Bhatia has been solid overall this season, ranking 18th in strokes gained tee to green (+0.916), eighth on approach (+0.792), and ninth in putting (+0.730). He also ranks 88th in driving accuracy and sits in the 91st percentile in proximity from 150-200 yards, a range that made up over 43% of approach shots here last year. At $7,700 on DraftKings, this shorter course should set up well for Bhatia, as he can lean on his approach play and putting to give himself a chance to climb the leaderboard. --Dakota Legg - RotoBaller

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers is coming off the best individual fantasy season of his young career. He was the overall WR7 last year, catching 86 passes for 1,211 yards and five touchdowns. He had not previously ranked higher than WR25 in a single season, so jumping to the seventh spot was a major leap. It certainly helped that he set new career-highs in targets, receptions, and yards. While Flowers is a major offseason riser in dynasty fantasy football rankings, there are a couple of factors for fantasy managers to consider. First of all, the Ravens could have a different-looking offense next season after replacing head coach John Harbaugh with Jesse Minter and replacing offensive coordinator Todd Monken with Declan Doyle. Additionally, and perhaps more importantly, it has been rumored that the Ravens are considering selecting a receiver in the first round of this month's NFL Draft. On one hand, that's good news, because it means that the Ravens want to place more emphasis on the passing game after being run-heavy in the past. On the other hand, adding a rookie receiver could lead to a reduction in targets for Flowers. Lamar Jackson averaged a modest 23.2 pass attempts per game last season, so Flowers needs all the volume that he can get. The Ravens' wide receiver room is certainly worth monitoring as the 2026 NFL Draft gets underway on April 23.--Andersen Pickard

Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes said that the team would be willing to trade up in the 2026 NFL Draft if they feel strongly about a player on the board. "If we have that kind of conviction for a player, absolutely, we're going to go and get him," Holmes told members of the media, including ESPN.com's Eric Woodyard. Perhaps we shouldn't be surprised. Holmes traded up 20 spots in the 2022 draft to select Jameson Williams, and he traded up five spots for Terrion Arnold in 2024. He doesn't just trade up, though. Holmes pulled off a masterful trade backward in the 2023 NFL Draft, moving back from No. 6 to select both Jahmyr Gibbs and Jack Campbell. We don't know exactly which position the Lions would target if trading up, but it's worth noting that Holmes said he won't reach for an offensive tackle or defensive end, as he believes free agent additions Larry Borom and D.J. Wonnum can be starters at those two positions, respectively.--Andersen Pickard

The New York Giants and defensive lineman Dexter Lawrence have been discussing an extension, but negotiations have reached an impasse, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. Lawrence requested a trade earlier this month, and while the Giants previously seemed motivated to sign him to an extension, it appears their stance has changed. Rapoport notes that the Giants "have engaged with teams on a potential trade" for Lawrence, and talks will continue in the coming days. Additionally, while manager Joe Schoen previously insisted the NFL Draft was not a deadline for a trade or extension, Rapoport now reports that this saga should be resolved before the draft begins on April 23. By that point, the Giants are expected to have a thorough understanding of how the league views Lawrence, which will allow them to make a decision on whether to trade or extend him. Lawrence has been a key contributor on defense for the Giants, and he'd make a similar impact on his new team if traded. The three-time Pro Bowler started all 17 games in 2025, amassing 31 tackles, four tackles for loss, eight quarterback hits, and his first career interception. He recorded just half a sack last year, but he's not far removed from a nine-sack campaign in 2024.--Andersen Pickard

Minnesota Vikings running back Jordan Mason is an intriguing target in dynasty leagues this offseason. The Vikings did bring back Aaron Jones on a restructured deal, indicating that the veteran will remain a part of their backfield in 2026. However, he won't be any more involved than last year, and we wouldn't be surprised if he takes a backseat to Mason early in the season. Mason certainly has the ability to handle lead-back duties. In the five weeks that Jones missed last year, Mason averaged 14.8 carries, 75.2 rushing yards, 1.2 catches, 3.8 receiving yards, and 0.8 touchdowns per game. That comes out to an average of 13.9 fantasy points per game in PPR leagues. Extrapolated over a 17-game season, that would have ranked 18th-highest among running backs. Sure, we don't think he'll have an every-down role for 17 games, especially with Jones healthy. Still, he has high-end RB3 appeal with legitimate RB2 upside in 2026 and beyond. At a modest age of 26 years old, and with Jones presumably retiring in the next couple of years, Mason is a worthwhile dynasty target in offseason trades. He ranks as the RB54 in dynasty rankings at the moment, which means the market is still allowing managers to acquire him at a discounted price.--Andersen Pickard

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott had a terrific 2026 season, ranking as the overall QB6 in fantasy football. Despite lacking rushing upside, Prescott was a top fantasy option with his 67.3% completion rate, 4,552 passing yards, 32 total touchdowns, and 12 turnovers. The 32-year-old bounced back in a huge way after his injury-shortened 2024 season. In each of his last four seasons with 13+ games played, Prescott has ranked as a top-eight fantasy quarterback. Staying healthy is easier said than done, but if he can remain upright and on the field, the Mississippi State product has tremendous fantasy upside. There's also a lot to love about the passing volume in Dallas; last season, Prescott led the NFL in completions (404) and had the second-most pass attempts (600). With CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, and Jake Ferguson all returning to this passing game for the 2026 campaign, the veteran quarterback should remain quite busy throwing the ball to a talented group of receivers. His current evaluation as the QB15 in RotoBaller's latest dynasty rankings reflects his age (32), but dynasty contenders looking to win now should absolutely pursue a trade for Prescott this offseason since he has top-five upside at an affordable price tag.--Andersen Pickard

April 14, 2026

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb is listed as a player trending down in RotoBaller's latest dynasty fantasy football rankings. The 27-year-old is coming off the worst fantasy season of his career, catching 75 passes for 1,077 yards and three touchdowns while ranking as the overall WR22 in PPR leagues. Part of the reason for Lamb's step backward is that he missed three games due to injury. If you extrapolate his stats over a full 17-game season, he still would have ranked as the overall WR7. However, that's easier said than done, as Lamb hasn't been healthy for all 17 games since 2023. The presence of George Pickens is another factor to consider. While Lamb and Pickens were able to coexist last year, the former saw his volume share drop to 8.4 targets per game, which was his lowest mark since 2021. That's not to say that managers should panic about Lamb or trade him away in dynasty leagues, but it's time to acknowledge that he faces an uphill battle to get into the very top tier of dynasty receivers. As it stands, he finds himself in the second tier, ranking as RotoBaller's WR7 for dynasty fantasy football.--Andersen Pickard

Arizona Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said that he has second baseman Ketel Marte (back) in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Baltimore Orioles as of now, according to Diamondbacks reporter Jody Jackson. The Snakes scratched Marte from Tuesday's starting lineup in Baltimore as a precaution due to lower-back tightness, but apparently, he's already feeling much better. Fantasy managers have to be pretty stoked that Marte will end up missing just one game. The three-time All-Star is a must-start anytime he's in Arizona's lineup. Marte is off to a .212 (14-for-66) start to the 2026 season, his 12th in the league, but he's been heating up of late and has four homers and nine total RBI in 72 plate appearances. If he indeed returns on Wednesday in the series finale at Camden Yards, Marte will be facing right-hander Kyle Bradish. He's only faced Bradish twice in his career and has two hits and an RBI.--Keith Hernandez

ESPN's Jamison Hensley writes that "there is a strong possibility" that the Baltimore Ravens will add a wide receiver to pair with Zay Flowers at No. 14 overall in the first round of the upcoming NFL draft. Interior offensive line is a big need after Baltimore lost center Tyler Linderbaum in free agency, but they have never taken a guard or center in the top half of the first round. In the last seven drafts, the Ravens have selected three receivers in the first round. Hensley suggests that Oregon tight end Kenyon Sadiq would be very intriguing for the Ravens, with veteran Mark Andrews turning 31 at the start of the 2026 season. Flowers had career-highs in catches (86) and receiving yards (1,211) in 2025, with all the other team's receivers combining for just 51 catches and 735 yards. Behind Flowers, the Ravens have Rashod Bateman and Devontez Walker at the position. A high-end WR addition in the draft would be a firm commitment to getting Jackson back on track after a frustrating, injury-plagued 2025 season.--Keith Hernandez

Cincinnati Reds reliever Tony Santillan is off to a strong start to the 2026 season, as he's recorded 10 strikeouts and has yet to allow an earned run across his first eight innings pitched (eight games). With the news that Reds closer Emilio Pagan (hamstring) is being evaluated for a hamstring injury, Santillan could be in line to assume the ninth-inning role in Cincinnati. The 29-year-old was one of the Reds' best high-leverage arms in 2025, recording a 2.44 ERA and 1.11 WHIP with 75 strikeouts across 73 2/3 innings (80 games). Santillan also picked up seven saves and has 11 saves in his big-league career, so he has some experience as a closer. If Pagan ends up missing time, Santillan would immediately become a priority target on the waiver wire for fantasy managers.--Will Brady

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Mick Abel was excellent against the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday, pitching seven strikeout innings with 10 strikeouts and earning his first win of the season in his team's 6-0 victory. Abel allowed just four hits and did not allow a walk. Across his first four appearances (20 1/3 innings) of 2026, the 24-year-old has pitched to a 3.98 ERA and 1.59 WHIP with 23 strikeouts. However, since allowing nine earned runs over his first 7 1/3 innings of the year, Abel has now thrown 13 straight scoreless frames. Abel's walk rate is still 10.8% even after his most recent start against the Red Sox, so control is an issue. Still, if he can limit free passes, Abel has good enough stuff to consistently generate strikeouts and work deep into games. He profiles as a priority waiver wire target ahead of his next scheduled start against the New York Mets next Tuesday.--Will Brady

ESPN's Kris Rhim writes that Los Angeles Chargers safety Derwin James Jr., who is coming off back-to-back All-Pro seasons, will "almost certainly want a new deal before training camp starts." A deal will likely get done for a player who turns 30 in August and is heading into the final season of a four-year contract extension that made him the highest-paid safety in league history in 2022. James was a hold-in during training camp the last time he was eligible for an extension. The Chargers might have to make him the highest-paid safety in history again, or at least close, after Ravens safety Kyle Hamilton set the new mark with a four-year, $100.4 million deal in 2025. It remains to be seen if general manager Joe Hortiz is willing to give Hames that kind of money. The 29-year-old finished as the No. 20 fantasy defensive back in IDP leagues last year with 94 tackles (50 solo), two sacks, six tackles for loss, eight QB hits, a career-high three interceptions, seven pass breakups, and a forced fumble in 16 regular-season starts.--Keith Hernandez

Georgia tight end Oscar Delp will finish a long list of pre-draft visits by having a top-30 visit with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Los Angeles Chargers this week, according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. Delp visited with the New England Patriots, Baltimore Ravens, and Minnesota Vikings last week. The 22-year-old's statistics from college in four seasons with the Bulldogs don't really stand out. He had 70 total catches for 854 yards and nine touchdowns in his 55 games played. Delp never had more than 284 receiving yards in a single season, and he reportedly played all of last year with a hairline fracture in his foot. He would be behind Cade Otton and Oronde Gadsden with the Bucs and Chargers, respectively, if he were to be drafted by either of those clubs. Delp won't have a ton of appeal in single-year fantasy leagues in 2026 as a likely rotational tight end with a limited role in his first year in the NFL.--Keith Hernandez

Pagan pitched a scoreless ninth inning with a strikeout for his fifth save of the season, but is apparently dealing with some discomfort that will need monitoring. The 34-year-old is five-for-six on save chances so far this season and has pitched to a 4.82 ERA and 1.32 WHIP with nine strikeouts across 9 1/3 innings pitched.

Coming off a disappointing T41 at The Masters, Justin Thomas will return to the site of his lone PGA Tour victory last season. He was able to get hot with the irons and putter en route to claiming the plaid jacket, which has arguably been the two most unpredictable parts of his game since the beginning of last year's playoff events. In those seven events played during that time, the Crimson Tide alum has lost strokes on approach in five of them, and on the green in four. His strokes gained per shot from 150-200 yards have fallen 44% compared to his two-year baseline, which is the most prominent approach range at Harbour Town. J.T. has all the tools and knowledge to make a swift turnaround, but he's too volatile at the moment to be trusted for DFS purposes. --Todd McGill

The Los Angeles Chargers officially re-signed exclusive-rights free-agent running back Kimani Vidal to an undisclosed one-year deal, according to Howard Balzer of Cardinals Wire. Vidal saw a lot more work in 2025 than probably anyone was expecting, even Vidal. Early-season injuries to Najee Harris (Achilles) and Omarion Hampton (ankle) forced the 24-year-old into the RB1 role in L.A. last year, and it led to 155 carries for 643 yards and three touchdowns in 13 regular-season games. Vidal also had 16 receptions on 22 targets for 136 yards and another touchdown as a receiver. Harris won't return to the Chargers, but the Chargers added Keaton Mitchell to the running back room alongside Hampton, who will be in his second season in the NFL. Vidal figures to be the favorite to win the RB2 role to begin next season, but Mitchell will probably take a lot of valuable pass-catching opportunities. At best, Vidal will probably be a handcuff option for managers who select Hampton.--Keith Hernandez

Milwaukee Brewers right-handed pitcher Brandon Sproat (knee) is slated to rejoin the team's starting rotation on Thursday against the Miami Marlins, according to Jack Stern of Brewer Fanatic. Sproat's first appearance of 2026 came as a starter, but his most recent two have come in long relief. The 25-year-old was also evaluated for a knee injury after his most recent outing on Saturday, but it appears as though he has avoided missed time. Sproat has struggled across 10 1/3 innings so far this season, recording a 10.45 ERA and 2.32 WHIP with 10 strikeouts. Command has been the biggest issue, as he's allowed 10 walks. However, Sproat allowed just one run across 3 2/3 innings pitched in his last appearance. He remains a well-regarded prospect with upside who could be a worthy target on the waiver wire for fantasy managers.--Will Brady

It was an acceptable week in Augusta for Jordan Spieth, who finished T12, ranking fifth in the field in strokes gained on approach (1.48) and sixth in strokes gained around the green (0.79). He also hit the second-most greens in regulation, with a percentage of 76.4%. The only thing holding the three-time major champion back is the flat stick. He's lost strokes putting in three of his last four starts. His 98th current ranking on the season in three-putt avoidance likely has a lot to do with that. Luckily, the tiny greens of Harbour Town should somewhat diminish that worry. The volitility off the tee is always a lingering issue that isn't the greatest fit for this layout, but that's partly what makes him an entertaining watch. Nonetheless, Spieth is a fine play for certain lineups, especially in course horse builds. Winning this event in 2022, his track record here has been better than most in the field.--Todd McGill

The 33-year-old is off to a strong start to his first season with Boston, hitting .298/.444/.491 with three home runs, 11 RBI, and nine runs scored. It doesn't appear as though this latest back ailment is particularly serious, but it will be worth monitoring for fantasy managers nonetheless. Contreras was replaced by utility man Andruw Monasterio on Tuesday, so Monasterio could be the favorite to see an increase in playing time if Contreras ends up requiring a stint on the injured list.--Will Brady

Philadelphia Eagles general manager Howie Roseman continues to say that wide receiver A.J. Brown "is an Eagle" when asked about the possibility that he'll be traded this offseason, according to Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network. When asked if the team recently acquiring receiver Dontayvion Wicks from the Green Bay Packers means anything for Brown, Roseman said, "What do you think the odds are that I'm answering this question any different than I answered it anywhere else? Like, really, do you think that's 50 percent? Do you think it's 75 percent?" Adds: "A.J. Brown's an Eagle." Odds are that the Eagles will be looking to trade Brown after June 1, when it makes more financial sense for them to do so. The most rumored destination for the 28-year-old is the New England Patriots, even after they signed Romeo Doubs in free agency. That would be a promising landing spot for Brown, who had his fourth straight 1,000-yard receiving season in 15 starts with the Eagles in 2025. The three-time Pro Bowler was unhappy with his role in Philly last year and had a career-low 12.9 yards per catch. If he were to join the Pats, Brown would continue to have big-play upside with young quarterback Drake Maye.--Keith Hernandez

Dallas Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said on 105.3 The Fan on Tuesday that the team has "had no one call with interest" in wide receiver George Pickens, regarding a potential trade, according to Todd Archer of ESPN. Even though the Cowboys have expressed plenty of interest in locking Pickens up long-term after already placing the franchise tag on him, no new deal has been agreed upon. The Cowboys most likely have an extremely high asking price after Pickens' 2025 breakout season, and maturity issues in the past could be scaring potential suitors away as well. The Cowboys are notorious for dragging their feet with long-term deals for their star players, so the former second-rounder of the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2022 out of Georgia is expected to be a holdout heading into training camp this summer. Pickens had 93 catches for 1,429 yards and nine touchdowns in 17 games last year. He will be a WR1 target in fantasy football drafts this fall with at least one more guaranteed season in Dallas (if he's not traded).--Keith Hernandez
