Bryce Eldridge Continues to Produce, a Must-Add Option Off the Waiver Wire
San Francisco Giants consensus top-30 MLB prospect Bryce Eldridge, who was called up on May 3, is dominating at the plate of late, slashing .455/.556/.955 with three home runs, eight RBI, and five runs scored over the past seven days (10-for-22). On the season, he is now hitting .317 with a .953 OPS with five home runs, 18 runs scored, and 14 RBI. Most impressively, his plate discipline has been rock-solid for Eldridge, as he has a 21.4 percent strikeout rate, 27.6 percent chase rate, and a 22.1 percent whiff rate. In Triple-A, Eldridge demonstrated his power, but had a 29.9 percent strikeout rate, and that was ultimately the biggest knock on Eldridge: the swing and miss. Considering he has improved on that, and when you look at his quality of contact, power, and prospect pedigree, Eldridge is a must-add player for fantasy baseball. The only downside for him is that, depending on your league format, he may only be DH eligible, but he has played five games at first base, so he is working his way to first base and corner infield eligibility. Eldridge has league-winning upside at the plate, so fantasy managers should act fast and invest in the young slugger.

Tez Johnson a Dynasty Cut Candidate?
As the Tampa Bay Buccaneers dealt with wide receiver injuries throughout much of the year, 2025 rookie Tez Johnson had some noteworthy moments, namely a five-game mid-season stretch that saw him average nearly 50 receiving yards per game while scoring four touchdowns. Unfortunately, heading into year two, the undersized seventh-round pick could be hard-pressed to sustain fantasy viability in Tampa's new-look offense. Even without six-time Pro Bowler Mike Evans, the team still boasts plenty of depth, with both Chris Godwin Jr. and Jalen McMillan expected to be closer to full health a year after missing a combined 21 games. 2025 first-round pick Emeka Egbuka should develop further chemistry with Baker Mayfield in their second season together, and the team spent a third-round pick on receiver Ted Hurst after signing Kenneth Gainwell to pair another legitimate pass-catching running back with Bucky Irving. In a Zac Robinson offense that is expected to see far fewer sets with three receivers on the field, Johnson's path to playing time appears sufficiently blocked, and at RotoBaller's dynasty WR105, he is not a player who needs to be rostered in shallower leagues.

Nikolaj Ehlers Produces an Empty-Netter as Hurricanes Clinch Cup
Carolina Hurricanes winger Nikolaj Ehlers was among the goal scorers as the team secured the 2026 Stanley Cup with a 3-0 Game 6 win against the Vegas Golden Knights on Sunday. Ehlers had the honor of scoring the last goal of the Finals, sending the puck into the empty net with 68 seconds remaining in the third period. The Danish veteran played a huge role in the Finals, justifying Carolina's decision to pick up Ehlers as a free agent on a six-year, $51 million deal last offseason. He recorded four goals and five assists against Vegas. Overall, Ehlers managed 18 points (eight goals, 10 assists) in 18 playoff games. During the regular season, Ehlers was Carolina's second-highest scorer with 71 points (26 goals, 45 assists) in 82 games.

Didier Fuentes Worth Adding Ahead of Potential Role Increase?
Atlanta Braves right-hander Didier Fuentes has been pitching well out of the bullpen for the Braves of late. In May, he posted a 1.32 ERA over 12 games (13 2/3 innings), and so far in June, over five games (5 1/3 innings), he has a 0.00 ERA and six strikeouts. He has not allowed a run since his outing in Cincinnati on May 31, and before that, it was May 6 against the Mariners. He is primarily being used as the seventh-inning guy behind closer Raisel Iglesias and setup man Robert Suarez. Because of that, although Fuentes was able to convert on a recent save on June 7, there are no signs that Iglesias or Suarez are in jeopardy of losing their job, as they've both been spectacular on the season, meaning Fuentes is going to remain in a position where his only value is leagues that reward holds (SVH). For leagues that do not, he is not worth rostering; however, for leagues that do, you could make a case for Fuentes, as he has been extremely sharp out of the bullpen, and his ratios have been phenomenal.

Tory Horton an Intriguing Dynasty Stash with a Path to Fantasy Relevance
Prior to suffering a shin injury that ultimately landed him on injured reserve and required offseason surgery, Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tory Horton was on a double-digit touchdown pace, aided by two scores in the final contest of his rookie season. Unable to participate in organized team activities or minicamp practices, Horton is expected back early, if not at the start of training camp. While in his absence, the Seahawks traded for and then locked up a similar downfield threat in Rashid Shaheed, there is still enough to be excited about to keep Horton worthy of an end-of-bench stash in dynasty leagues. Cooper Kupp is now 33 years old and showing serious signs of decline, and with Shaheed averaging only 1.5 receptions across his 12 regular and postseason games with Seattle, the depth chart behind Offensive Player of the Year Jaxon Smith-Njigba is not insurmountable. Offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak is gone, but there's an expectation that Brian Fleury will adopt many of the play-action principles that allowed Sam Darnold to succeed, providing fantasy-friendly opportunities for a player like Horton who can routinely get behind defenses. Only 23 years old, Horton is RotoBaller's dynasty WR81, but with a few things breaking his way, he has a perceivable path to fantasy viability as early as 2026.

Taylor Hall Scores Game-Winning Goal in Cup Clincher
Carolina Hurricanes left wing Taylor Hall recorded the game-winning goal in Sunday's Stanley Cup-clinching 3-0 victory over the Vegas Golden Knights. The former MVP lit the lamp just 3:47 into the game. Hall had an impressive playoff run with the Hurricanes, posting 19 points (seven goals, 12 assists) in as many games. He won his first Stanley Cup after playing in 1,062 career games with seven teams. Alex Ovechkin is the only No. 1 pick to feature in more games before winning the Stanley Cup. Hall has two years remaining on his contract, and the Hurricanes will hope he remains productive next season. In his 16th NHL campaign, Hall managed 48 points (18 goals, 30 assists) in 80 games during the regular season.

Yoendrys Gomez Earns Sixth Save, has he Claimed the Closer Job?
Minnesota Twins reliever Yoendrys Gomez closed Sunday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals with a clean ninth inning to earn his sixth save of the season and his third in June. On the season, the Twins' closer role has been a bit of a carousel; however, Gomez has become the clear preferred option at this point, and is worth a waiver-wire look in deeper leagues where saves are scarce or hard to come by. On the season, Gomez has not been anything spectacular, as he owns a 1.40 WHIP and 4.01 ERA with 33 strikeouts in 33 2/3 innings pitched; however, in category leagues, a save is a save. For those putting in bids for Gomez, he should come with a short leash, as nothing under the hood speaks to him being a high-upside breakout, as it's more so that he is earning the most recent saves for the Twins and converting on them.

After Years of Waiting, is the Kyle Pitts Sr. Breakout Finally Here?
Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. finished as 2025's TE2, and while much of the heavy lifting was done in an 11-catch, three-touchdown outing that went down as one of the most productive tight end games in NFL history, there is optimism that his role in Kevin Stefanski's tight end-friendly offense could help to deliver more consistent week-winning performances. His career year came while running his most routes since entering the NFL, and with Stefanski and offensive coordinator Tommy Rees deploying the league's highest rate of 12-personnel usage in their final season in Cleveland, Pitts should benefit from some of the same looks that allowed Harold Fannin Jr. to reach triple-digit targets as a rookie. Entering his sixth season, Pitts is remarkably still just 25 years old, and with some fantasy managers long over waiting for the true breakout that has been predicted since 2021, he has become a potential bargain at RotoBaller's dynasty TE8.

Jackson Blake Bags Two Points in Cup-Clinching Win
Carolina Hurricanes right wing Jackson Blake led the offense in Sunday's 2-0 Stanley Cup-clinching win over the Vegas Golden Knights, recording a goal and an assist. Blake helped Taylor Hall net an early goal and doubled the lead in the second period, becoming the first player in franchise history to record seven multi-point games in a single postseason. Two of Blake's multi-point efforts came in the Finals. The 22-year-old finished the playoffs as Carolina's top scorer. In 19 appearances, Blake contributed seven goals and 13 assists. His line with Hall and Logan Stankoven displayed fantastic chemistry throughout the Hurricanes' run to their second Stanley Cup victory in franchise history. All three are under contract for next season, and it will be interesting to see whether they can replicate their success.

Is Seranthony Dominguez Still the Closer to Roster in Chicago?
Chicago White Sox closer Seranthony Dominguez earned his 12th save on Sunday against the Los Angeles Dodgers, where he entered the game with a three-run lead and allowed one earned run on one hit, two walks, and two strikeouts. It was another shaky outing for Dominguez, where he has now pitched to the tune of a 1.19 WHIP and 3.81 ERA with 31 strikeouts in 26 innings pitched, and has converted on 12 of his 15 save opportunities. His underlying data and control are where things get a bit worrisome, evidenced by his 4.92 xERA, 90.5 mph average exit velocity (16th percentile), and 12.4 percent walk rate (14th percentile). He is not pitching particularly well, although the surface numbers would indicate it's been average, and when you combine that with the emergence of Grant Taylor of late, where he's converted on a few save opportunities, and Bryan Hudson and Jordan Leasure combined with seven save opportunities on the season, the line is getting very thin for Dominguez. Dominguez is still likely the closer to own for the time being, as the White Sox paid him a two-year, $20-million contract during the offseason to be the closer; however, the White Sox are competing (38-32) and sit atop the AL Central. For those rostering Dominguez, it's important to keep tabs on how he's used in the coming weeks and start preparing contingency plans.

Jordan Staal Becomes Oldest Conn Smythe Trophy Winner in History
Carolina Hurricanes center Jordan Staal was named the 2026 Conn Smythe Trophy winner as the NHL playoff MVP after the team clinched the Stanley Cup with a 3-0 victory over the Vegas Golden Knights on Sunday. At 37 years, 277 days, Staal became the oldest player ever to win the award. He earned it with a special performance in the Finals. Staal was the first player in 70 years and only the fourth overall to open the Stanley Cup Finals with a five-game goal streak. Against Vegas, he tallied six goals and one assist in six games, winning an incredible 69% of his faceoffs. Staal finished the playoffs with 12 points (eight goals, four assists) in 19 games. Having won the Stanley Cup for the first time in 2009 as a member of the Pittsburgh Penguins, Staal's 17 years between two championship wins mark a new NHL record.

Is Nico Collins the Most Underrated Dynasty WR1?
Since a third-year breakout in 2023, Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins has topped 1,000 receiving yards and six touchdowns in each of the past three seasons while twice finishing as a top-five-graded receiver by PFF, and only dropping as low as No. 8 in 2025. As the unquestioned focal point of opposing defenses, Collins has finished as the WR9 in each of his last two full seasons, and with reinforcements coming to the Texans' offense in 2026, his game could take yet another step up. After finishing with one of the least efficient running games in the league, Houston traded for David Montgomery, and with further development expected from second-year wideouts Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel, and the potential return of Tank Dell from a devastating 2024 knee injury, Collins could face significantly lower rates of double teams moving forward. At RotoBaller's dynasty WR10, the 27-year-old still has several years of prime play left after a slow start to his NFL career.

Diamondbacks Expected to Demote Ryan Waldschmidt to Triple-A
According to a new report from The Arizona Republic's Nick Piecoro, the Diamondbacks are expected to send No. 1 prospect and outfielder Ryan Waldschmidt to Triple-A Reno. Lourdes Gurriel Jr. will be activated from the 10-day injured list. After a hot start to his MLB career in May, where Waldschmidt slashed .284/.346/.378 with 10 runs scored, seven RBI, and five stolen bases, he has cooled off significantly in June, hitting .211 with a .566 OPS. The 23-year-old Waldschmidt is the Diamondbacks No. 1-ranked prospect and MLB's 30th overall-ranked prospect. The overall line for Waldschmidt was .259/.314/.357 with zero home runs, 11 runs scored, five stolen bases, and eight RBI. Waldschmidt was really struggling with his plate discipline, which was evident by his 33.7 percent whiff rate, 32.8 percent strikeout rate, and 6.6 percent walk rate. His quality of contact was not much better, as he had an 86.8 mph average exit velocity and a .289 xwOBA. Waldschmidt still has a promising career in front of him, and this demotion is likely a tune-up for him to get right. Redraft fantasy managers can drop him, while dynasty managers should just be patient with him, as it's likely he gets called up again sometime later this season.

Brandon Bussi Posts Shutout in Cup Clincher
Carolina Hurricanes goaltender Brandon Bussi recorded a 22-save shutout as the team clinched the 2026 Stanley Cup win with a 3-0 victory over the Vegas Golden Knights on Sunday. He became only the third netminder in history to record a Stanley Cup-clinching shutout in his first year in the league. Bussi's story was extraordinary in 2025-26, as he emerged from nowhere to become one of the best goalies in the NHL. The 27-year-old had a 31-6-2 record during the regular season and played in the final four games of the Finals, going 3-1 and allowing just six goals. Next season, Bussi will start a three-year, $5.7 million contract, giving Carolina a low-cost option in goal and an intriguing pick for fantasy managers.

Can Travis Etienne Jr. Become a Top-Tier Dynasty Running Back?
After five years and four seasons with the Jaguars, running back Travis Etienne Jr. signed a four-year, $48 million deal with the New Orleans Saints, and just a year after entering the 2025 season in a somewhat ambiguous backfield, there is little doubt about his every-down role in Kellen Moore's up-tempo offense. In year one under Moore, with a rookie quarterback at the helm for much of the season, the Saints had the fastest pace of play in the NFL. As the operation continues to develop, there's a reasonable expectation for an uptick of no-huddle usage and more offensive plays per game, with Etienne specifically targeted in free agency for his three-down ability. With Alvin Kamara still on the roster, the depth behind Etienne is strong, but with both the Cowboys and Eagles, Moore has a history of running his offenses through a bell cow back. At 27 years old, Etienne figures to be that guy for the foreseeable future, and at RotoBaller's dynasty RB19, he's a player worth pursuing as the finishing piece of a contending roster.

Willi Castro Hits Two Homers, Drives in Seven in Rockies Offensive Explosion
In the Colorado Rockies' 23-9 blowout win over the Athletics in Las Vegas in Sunday's series finale, super-utility man Willi Castro was one of the offensive standouts out of the leadoff spot. The 29-year-old Puerto Rican switch-hitter went 4-for-6 at the plate with a career-high seven RBI, three runs scored, a walk, and a strikeout to boost his season average to .278 and his OPS to .752. His first long ball on the day was a two-run shot in the second inning, and he followed that up with a grand slam in the eighth frame as the Rockies flexed their muscles against the A's pitching. Although Castro's season-long numbers aren't anything to write home about -- he's hitting .278 with five home runs, 29 RBI, 31 runs scored, five stolen bases, and a .752 OPS in 60 games -- he has picked things up in June. During the month to this point, Castro has gone 14-for-42 (.333) at the plate and has become a waiver-wire option during his hot streak in deeper leagues. Castro is currently rostered in only 17% of Yahoo leagues.

Hunter Goodman Reaches 20 Homers in Impressive Fashion
Colorado Rockies catcher Hunter Goodman reached the 20-homer mark on Sunday in the team's 23-9 drubbing of the Athletics in Las Vegas, going an impressive 5-for-6 at the plate with two home runs, a double, four RBI, and three runs scored to raise his season average to .250 and his OPS to .857. The Rockies did not have a shortage of offense in this one, as the 26-year-old backstop's homers accounted for two of the team's six long balls on the day. Although Goodman had gone hitless in his last 13 at-bats with nine strikeouts in his last three games, he once again proved why he's one of the best power-hitting catchers in baseball. Over 66 games this year, Goodman has delivered 20 home runs, 37 RBI, 44 runs scored, five stolen bases, and an .857 OPS in his fourth year in the majors after slashing .278/.323/.520 with an .843 OPS, 31 homers, and 91 RBI in 144 games in a breakout 2025 campaign. He's a must-start at the position with his elite power from the right side of the plate.

Paul Skenes Fans 10 on Sunday in Loss to Marlins
Pittsburgh Pirates right-hander Paul Skenes was mowing hitters down in Sunday's series finale at PNC Park against the visiting Miami Marlins, but he still managed to take his sixth loss of the season in a 4-2 defeat. Skenes allowed only two earned runs on four hits (two home runs) while walking one and striking out 10 in six innings of work. The 24-year-old was hurt by two solo home runs by the Fish, but all in all, it was a pretty dominant showing, as the former first overall pick out of LSU generated 23 swings and misses. The 24-year-old National League Cy Young winner and former NL Rookie of the Year has now reached double-digit strikeouts in three of his 15 starts in 2026, and Sunday's outing was also his seventh quality start. Skenes is now sporting a 2.85 ERA, 0.93 WHIP, and 99:16 K:BB in 82 innings over 15 starts as he stays in the running for his second straight NL Cy Young. Although his next scheduled start at hitter-friendly Coors Field against the Colorado Rockies isn't ideal, he should be started in all traditional fantasy leagues. In his first outing against the Rockies at home on May 12, Skenes dominated with eight shutout innings, only two hits allowed, no walks, and 10 strikeouts.

He will resume his regular progression if the symptoms subside and is not expected to miss a significant additional amount of time. There is no timeline set for Bubic, who had a 4.11 ERA and 1.23 WHIP in nine starts before the injury after a strong 2025 season. The 28-year-old has been a steady presence since returning to the rotation after a full season as a bullpen arm in 2024, and will look to continue building back toward starter workload as he works his way back to the rotation.

His impact in the middle of the Royals lineup has been more limited this season, as his barrel rate has dropped from 10.8 percent to 7.3 percent.

He is currently listed as day-to-day and remains hopeful that he will be able to make his next scheduled start. The 26-year-old has struggled mightily in his first season with the Angels, posting an 8.06 ERA, 1.83 WHIP, and 24 strikeouts across six starts. Early indications suggest Rodriguez has avoided anything significant, and a healthy return would give him an opportunity to reset after a difficult start to the season.

Is it Time for Dynasty Managers to Sell High on Breece Hall?
New York Jets running back Breece Hall was one of his team's lone bright spots in 2025, recording 1,415 yards from scrimmage and five touchdowns on 279 touches across 16 games. Coming off three consecutive seasons with at least 1,350 scrimmage yards, Hall seemingly secured his place as a building block in the Jets offense by signing a three-year, $43.5 million contract extension in May. However, early reports out of Jets camp indicate that the team may be planning for a "three-headed monster" in their backfield between Hall, Braelon Allen, and Isaiah Davis. Dynasty managers may not want to panic just yet, as Hall's production track record and his contractual status may speak louder than early camp reports. Still, the Jets may be looking for ways to limit Hall's workload and keep him fresh throughout the entire season. It's too early for dynasty managers to be looking to sell high on Hall yet, but the Jets' backfield plans are worth monitoring throughout the remainder of the summer.

Elijah Sarratt Carries Dynasty Sleeper Appeal into 2026
Baltimore Ravens rookie wide receiver Elijah Sarratt fell to the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft after some projected that he could go as early as the second round. The 23-year-old was one of the stars of the University of Indiana's national championship-winning team in 2025, recording 65 catches for 830 yards and 15 touchdowns across 14 games. Despite the draft-day slide, Sarratt may have found himself in an ideal NFL landing spot in Baltimore. The Ravens have Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman firmly atop their wide receiver depth chart, but Sarratt should enter training camp in a competition with Devontez Walker and 2026 third-round Ja'Kobi Lane for the team's WR3 role. Baltimore also lost a big-bodied red zone threat over the offseason in tight end Isaiah Likely, who signed with the New York Giants in free agency. If Sarratt can emerge as a trusted target of Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, he should have plenty of chances to produce in a strong Baltimore offense. Sarratt profiles as a high-upside dynasty sleeper ahead of his rookie season with the Ravens.

Is Roman Hemby Worthy of a Deep-League Dynasty Roster Spot?
Despite recording 1,285 scrimmage yards and seven touchdowns on 245 touches while winning a national championship during his final collegiate season at the University of Indiana, running back Roman Hemby went unpicked in the 2026 NFL Draft. However, the 23-year-old signed as an undrafted free agent with the Las Vegas Raiders and could be in position to earn a roster spot with Las Vegas in training camp. Ashton Jeanty is firmly atop the Raiders running back depth chart and should dominate backfield touches for the team in 2026. Still, Hemby looks to be fighting with the unproven running back trio of Mike Washington Jr., Dylan Laube, and Chris Collier for the RB2 role behind Jeanty. Because of his status as a UDFA, Hemby should be viewed as a long shot to carve out a fantasy-relevant role. At the same time, the situation around Hemby in Las Vegas could make him a worthy deep-league dart throw for dynasty managers.

Eric McAlister Could Be Worth Stashing in Deeper Dynasty Formats
After suffering a Jones fracture in his foot during his Pro Day this spring, former TCU wide receiver Eric McAlister (foot) did not hear his name called in the 2026 NFL Draft. McAlister also has a history of some off-field legal troubles, which may be a reason (in addition to the injury) why he is currently unsigned. However, the 23-year-old was a highly productive player in his final collegiate season, recording 72 catches for 1,190 yards and 10 touchdowns across 13 games. Once healthy, McAlister could have a chance to latch on with a team and quickly make an impact in the NFL. While McAlister remains unsigned, it's difficult to project his dynasty value. Still, he could be worth stashing as a high-upside dart throw in deeper formats before he finds a home and his price rises.

Jose Soriano Expects to Make his Next Start Despite Being Banged Up
Los Angeles Angels right-hander Jose Soriano (chest, leg) looked good on Saturday night against the first-place Tampa Bay Rays, but he was forced to leave his start early with chest and leg injuries, according to Jack Janes of The Sporting Tribune. Soriano threw five shutout innings with three hits allowed, two walks, and five strikeouts for his eighth win of the 2026 season. However, he left the game after throwing only 76 pitches and was hit by a 98 mph comebacker on the right side of his chest by the second batter of the game. He stayed in the game, but his chest tightened up between innings, and his legs also began to feel sore. "We wanted to kind of be cautious with him," Angels manager Kurt Suzuki said. The good news for the Angels and fantasy managers is that the 27-year-old Dominican expects to make his next start. After starting the year by allowing just one run in his first six starts, Soriano entered his start on Saturday with a 5.28 ERA in his previous eight starts, so it was nice to see him pitch well against Tampa. Soriano won't have an easy matchup his next time out in Sacramento against the A's, although he did pick up a quality start with two earned runs allowed, one walk, and seven strikeouts against them in his first meeting in Anaheim on May 21.

Should Dynasty Managers Sell High on Jakobi Meyers Ahead of 2026?
After being acquired from the Las Vegas Raiders by the Jacksonville Jaguars at the 2025 trade deadline, veteran wide receiver Jakobi Meyers recorded 42 catches for 483 yards and three touchdowns on 61 targets across nine games with the Jags. Meyers also signed a three-year, $60 million contract extension with Jacksonville, cementing him as part of the team's plans going forward. Meyers has quietly been a highly consistent wide receiver in recent years, posting five consecutive seasons with at least 67 catches and 804 receiving yards. However, he now finds himself part of a crowded wide receiver depth chart in Jacksonville that also includes Brian Thomas Jr., Parker Washington, and Travis Hunter. Meyers may be the highest-floor option of that bunch, but he also likely offers the most limited ceiling. If Thomas Jr. and Hunter can put together healthier seasons in 2026, Meyers may see his role shrink. As he enters his age-30 season, Meyers could profile as a sell-high candidate for dynasty managers.

Corey Seager has "Mild" Concussion Symptoms
Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (head) has "mild" concussion symptoms, which is why he was held out of the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Boston Red Sox on Sunday night, according to Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News. Seager missed a third straight game on Sunday after he collided with Kansas City Royals catcher Carter Jensen on Thursday. The oft-injured 32-year-old could eventually land on the seven-day concussion list if he cannot return to the Rangers' lineup sooner rather than later, but for now, he's being considered day-to-day. With Seager out again on Sunday, super-utility man Ezequiel Duran got the start at the 6 and hit cleanup for Texas. Seager, a five-time All-Star, three-time Silver Slugger winner, and two-time World Series MVP, has already missed time in 2026 with a back injury, and he's hitting a disappointing .186 (33-for-177) with nine home runs, 24 RBI, 25 runs scored, and a stolen base across his 47 games and 204 plate appearances in his 12th year in the big leagues. Initially, the Rangers said Seager was dealing with rib and jaw injuries, but with a concussion being added on Sunday, it's certainly more worrisome that he might require another IL stint.
