Pittsburgh Penguins center David Gustafsson signed a one-year, $850,000 contract with the team on Sunday. He became a restricted free agent on July 1, a few days after the Penguins acquired him from the Winnipeg Jets in exchange for defenseman Jack St. Ivany. Gustafsson will hope to make an NHL comeback with the Penguins. He has played in 149 career NHL games but was limited to AHL action last season. With the Manitoba Moose, Gustafsson recorded 32 points (10 goals, 22 assists) in 48 outings. He added four points (one goal, three assists) in seven games during the Calder Cup Playoffs.--Taavi Pailk

Pittsburgh Penguins winger Egor Chinakhov will remain with the team for the 2026-27 campaign after signing a three-year, $18.75 million contract. The Russian forward moved to Pittsburgh midway through the 2025-26 season, notching 36 points (18 goals, 18 assists) in 43 games. He was red-hot at the end of the regular season, with 22 points (eight goals, 14 assists) in 18 games. While Chinakhov's career never truly took off in Columbus, he appears to be a good fit for the Penguins and could be ready for a breakout campaign in 2026-27.--Taavi Pailk

Chicago Cubs top-ranked pitching prospect Jaxon Wiggins (elbow) has begun climbing the stash rankings as he begins his rehab assignment. The team's No. 1-ranked pitching prospect has been on the injured list at Triple-A since the start of April due to an elbow injury. However, the right-hander has recently begun a rehab assignment and has since moved it up to High-A. Through his first three outings with High-A, Wiggins has logged 7 1/3 innings to the tune of a 2.45 ERA, 0.95 WHIP, and a 7:2 K:BB. While he will likely need to move up to Double-A before returning to Triple-A, he is progressing quite well and could return to Iowa shortly after the All-Star break. Last summer, the 24-year-old turned in a productive season, posting a 2.19 ERA and a 1.03 WHIP over 78 innings split between several levels of the Chicago pipeline. Given Chicago's numerous starting-pitcher injuries, Wiggins has a clear path to make an impact in the majors over the final weeks of the season.--Andy Smith

Five-star running back prospect David Gabriel Georges is set to announce his collegiate commitment on July 22. Although Ole Miss is in the mix, the race appears to be between Ohio State and Tennessee. Georges is the No. 1 recruit out of Tennessee in the Class of 2027 and plays under two hours away from Knoxville at Baylor School in Chattanooga. Experts are split on where he will end up, but he's viewed as a potential Day 1 contributor for either program. Georges is heading into his senior season after a monster junior campaign in which he rushed for 1,749 yards (10.8 yards per carry) and 27 touchdowns. The 205-pound explosive ball carrier could be the first high school running back recruit with a seven-figure price tag.--Jackson Sparks - RotoBaller

Pittsburgh Pirates outfield prospect Jhostynxon Garcia earned a stint in the Steel City earlier in June but was quickly optioned back to the minor leagues. Over a brief 13-game stint with the Pirates, Garcia posted a .200/.243/.299 slash line with just one extra-base hit (a double). Since moving back to Indianapolis, Garcia has seen these struggles continue as he has held a modest .244/.313/.360 line with a .674 OPS. However, before his call-up to the majors, Garcia was flashing immense upside at the Triple-A level, which put him on the stash radar of many fantasy managers. Over his last 18 games ahead of his promotion. Garcia carried a dominant .326/.365/.632 line with three doubles and six home runs. Managers should continue to monitor his power output, but given his lengthy slump, he should not be stashed in any standard 12-team leagues for the time being.--Andy Smith

Free-agent forward/center Lachlan Olbrich is making the most of his Warriors audition, posting 13 points on six of eight shooting with four rebounds and four assists in Golden State's 98-69 California Classic rout of the Spurs. The all-around line is the story. Olbrich is a skilled, high-feel passing big, rare for the position, who capped his Bulls rookie year with a triple-double against Dallas and put up 17.6 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 5.1 assists in a short G League stint. A front-office change in Chicago pushed him out, and Golden State scooped him up, where he's now competing with lottery pick Yaxel Lendeborg for frontcourt minutes. That playmaking feel is what makes him worth watching more than most audition bigs. But he needs an NBA job first; the fantasy conversation only starts if he wins one in a crowded Warriors frontcourt.--Brian Dailisan

New York Yankees top-ranked prospect George Lombard Jr. (finger) has been on the 7-day injured list (Triple-A) for nearly a month but has maintained his value for those in deeper leagues. Prior to hitting the injured list, the team's top infield prospect was taking a massive step forward at the top club in the system. Over his last 15 games (May 31 - June 16), Lombard carried an elite .321/.431/.642 line with eight doubles, three home runs, and two stolen bases. Prior to this elite stretch, the former 26th overall pick from the 2023 MLB Draft carried a much lower .184/.356/.252 line with just one round-tripper. Lombard opened the 2026 season in Double-A but quickly moved up to Triple-A. He remains a must-watch prospect as he may not need much longer at Triple-A following his return to earn a spot in the Bronx. His five-category upside makes him a worthy target in 12+ team leagues ahead of the All-Star break.--Andy Smith

San Francisco Giants outfielder Heliot Ramos returned from the 10-day injured list on June 28 and was immediately inserted back into the Giants lineup, and he has delivered over the past two series, having a hit in six out of his seven games played. On the season, he is slashing .266/.307/.448 with six home runs, 24 runs scored, and 23 RBI through 205 plate appearances. The underlying data fully supports his surface-line stats, as evidenced by his .279 xBA, .476 xSLG, and .341 xwOBA. Additionally, Ramos impacts the ball extremely well, as he owns an impressive 92.1 average exit velocity (89th percentile), 15.2 percent barrel rate (92nd percentile), and 50.4 percent hard-hit rate (90th percentile). Part of the reason for the lack of surface line power and run production is that, although he's impacting the ball well, he is not maximizing that power, with only an 11.3 percent pull-air rate, but the Giants offense has been better of late, and should lead to more success for Ramos in the second half. In most five outfield formats, Ramos should be rostered, especially in category formats, as he does carry a fairly high strikeout rate (25.4 percent) and a low walk rate (5.9 percent).--Nicho Roessler

New York Mets right-handed pitching prospect Jack Wenninger is coming off the best outing of the season and is putting himself back on the stash radar for those in deeper leagues. On July 4, the right-hander tossed seven one-hit innings against Triple-A Worcester while allowing no runs and three walks. He struck out five hitters. Prior to this dominant effort, Wenninger endured a rough stretch at Syracuse, posting a 6.49 ERA with a 1.73 WHIP over his last 34 2/3 innings. However, before this skid, Wenninger looked just as comfortable as he did at the start of July, logging 33 1/3 innings to the tune of a 1.08 ERA and a 1.11 WHIP. With the Mets falling out of the postseason race and trending towards selling at the deadline, their No. 4-ranked prospect should earn an extended look at the majors. Those in deeper 15-team leagues should consider monitoring Wenninger to see if he can maintain this recent production.--Andy Smith

Seattle Mariners infield prospect Michael Arroyo was promoted to Triple-A Tacoma earlier on Sunday evening, according to Daniel Kramer of MLB.com. Arroyo is currently viewed as the team's No. 5-ranked prospect and the overall No. 45 prospect on MLB.com. The infielder has spent the first half of the season in Double-A and is being rewarded with an early promotion. Across 65 games with Double-A Arkansas, Arroyo has posted a strong .287/.364/.456 line with 12 doubles, 10 home runs, and 13 stolen bases. Last summer, Arroyo split his time between High-A and Double-A, where he carried an overall .262/.401/.433 line with 17 home runs and 12 stolen bases. While an MLB debut may not occur until late in the season, his five-category profile makes him a worthy stash candidate in deeper 15-team leagues with N/A spots as he is now on the doorstep of the majors.--Andy Smith

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook III tied for the league lead with 16 rushing touchdowns in 2024, and while those calling for regression ahead of the 2025 season were technically right, Cook was able to pair his 12 touchdown runs with 1,621 yards on the ground and the first rushing crown of his career. Cook has finished as the RB8 and RB6 in the past two seasons, and with Buffalo's offense remaining largely intact for 2026, there is no reason to expect any significant falloff. The largest change comes at the top, where Joe Brady will take over as head coach, though his previous promotion to offensive coordinator coincided with Cook's breakout, and no team has scored more offensive touchdowns across his two full seasons as playcaller. While the offseason trade for veteran receiver DJ Moore could allow for perennial MVP-contender Josh Allen to again throw for more than 4,000 yards, something he has not done in either of Cook's RB1 seasons, a more balanced offense could also lead to more scoring opportunities on the ground. Despite Allen scoring rushing touchdowns at a historic rate in recent years, Cook has still been one of the league's most active backs from within the five-yard line over the past two seasons, and he is RotoBaller's RB5 for 2026.--Patrick McGrath

Through 79 games with Tacoma, the 21-year-old has posted a .234/.369/.550 line with a dominant .990 OPS. Over this stretch, Montes has gone deep 25 times, tacked on 11 doubles, and chipped in five stolen bases. However, his recent surge likely prompted his promotion. Over his last 22 games, Montes has showcased his elite raw power, posting a dominant .958 OPS and seven home runs. Managers should pay close attention to his status at Triple-A, as a hot start could open the door for a late-season debut.--Andy Smith

Mintyukov played a career-high 73 games last season, recording 22 points (eight goals, 14 assists), 79 SOG, and 112 blocks. He must offer significantly more going forward to live up to his new contract. Since he won't turn 23 until November, Mintyukov still has plenty of time to develop as a player.--Taavi Pailk

Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Shane Bieber got hammered on Saturday against the Mariners, allowing six hits, seven earned runs, three walks, and only three strikeouts in four innings pitched. Through three starts now since returning from injury, he has a 9.00 ERA, 2.08 WHIP, and a 9:7 K:BB ratio in 13 innings pitched. To put it nicely, nothing has worked for him, and nothing looks great, with his fastball velocity down (92.0 mph), but most importantly, his control has been awful (10.9 percent), which has also led to a ton of hard contact (54.2 percent hard-hit rate). Even when Bieber was at his best, it wasn't his velocity that got him through; it was his control and off-speed that made him good. Bieber has a 3.32 career ERA and 1.12 WHIP; however, he is now 31 years old, and nothing under the hood or on the surface suggests he is anything more than a streamer at this point. His next time out will be on Friday against the San Diego Padres, where he will try to right the ship on the season before the All-Star Break. Fantasy managers who are desperate for pitching in points leagues or 15-team leagues can hold on, but Bieber is unstartable at this time.--Nicho Roessler

The stroke is real, but the fantasy path isn't. Okereke is an undrafted rookie on a two-way contract, which caps his active games, and he's buried on a win-now roster built around Luka Doncic.

Still eyeing a return for 2026, free agent wide receiver Tyreek Hill (knee) continues to work his way back from the gruesome knee injury that ended his 2025 season after only four games. In a clip he posted to his YouTube channel in late June, he appears to receive positive news from a doctor who is impressed by his recovery. As rumors continue to swirl about potential 2026 landing spots for the five-time All-Pro, teams are set to reconvene for training camps at the end of the month, where a single injury could create a need for his services. While there are no guarantees that he will ever take another NFL snap, and even fewer assurances that he can return to pre-injury form, Hill has been one of the most explosive players to ever play the game, with his 28 career touchdowns of at least 50 yards ranking as the fourth most in NFL history. An afterthought in most 2026 drafts, Hill is a player who can and should be scooped up in the final rounds of any leagues with the use of injured reserve slots, and even without, the 11th-year receiver is worthy of an end-of-bench early-season stash, allowing fantasy managers extra time to make a decision before bye weeks and injuries arrive.--Patrick McGrath

Minnesota Twins right-hander Taj Bradley has put together a solid season on the whole, with a 3.86 ERA, 1.29 WHIP, and 102:38 K:BB ratio through 88 2/3 innings pitched. On July 1, he was great against the Astros, where he threw five innings, allowed four hits, one earned run, three walks, and had 11 strikeouts. He had a tough stretch in June, in which over five starts he posted a 5.53 ERA; however, outside of that, he has showcased strong strikeout upside (26.9 percent). With Bradley, it really boils down to control; his 10 percent walk rate and lack of control lead to hard contact, as evidenced by his 46.8 percent hard-hit rate. His next outing is on Tuesday against the Cleveland Guardians, where he will be a solid streamer with Jose Ramirez (hand) out of the lineup. Bradley should be rostered in most 12-plus-team formats, but in shallower leagues he is a bit riskier. Due to Bradley's highs and lows, he is a better pitcher to roster in weekly formats, so you're not getting burned by the bad outings.--Nicho Roessler

New Orleans Saints running back Kendre Miller was selected in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft. At the time, Alvin Kamara had seen his efficiency drop as he flirted with 300 opportunities in each of the previous three seasons, and the prevailing belief was that Miller could help to keep him fresh before potentially assuming the starting role himself. However, injuries have limited the fourth-year back to appearances in only 21 of a possible 51 games, and when he has seen the field, he has not looked the part of an NFL starter, averaging fewer than four yards per attempt on his 127 career carries. With New Orleans committing $28 million in guarantees to free agent Travis Etienne Jr., and Kamara still on the team along with Devin Neal and Audric Estime, Miller could be viewed as a long shot to even make the Saints' 53-man roster. Ranked outside of RotoBaller's top 300 players for 2026, Miller is not a player that should factor into draft plans in any redraft leagues, and his dynasty value has sunk to a place that makes him an easy drop candidate.--Patrick McGrath

Colorado Rockies reliever Jordan Romano was picked up by the Rockies in May after being cut by the Los Angeles Angels, and since his call-up to the Rockies on July 4, he has immediately been inserted into the reliever mix, as he threw one inning on Saturday and earned the save on Sunday. Both outings were identical, as he allowed one hit, no runs, and struck out two. Romano had four saves (six opportunities) for the Angels earlier this season before he was let go because of poor performance. He had a 10.13 ERA and 2.12 WHIP. All that to say, Romano has 118 career saves, mostly from when he was the primary closer in Toronto from 2021-2023, and now, at 33-years old, he finds himself pitching in one of the hardest places for pitchers to pitch in a reliever situation that is unclear, and has seen 10 different players log a save on the season. Due to Romano's history as a closer, the Rockies may want to give him the chance, but with his 8.10 ERA and 1.90 WHIP, it's unlikely to work out. He could be a desperate name for saves in the short-term; however, it would have to be in deeper formats.--Nicho Roessler

Sacramento Kings guard Emanuel Sharp let it fly in the California Classic, scoring 18 points but needing 12 three-point attempts to get there, while adding seven rebounds, three assists, and two steals in the Kings' 91-85 win over Warriors Blue. The cold shooting is easy to forgive. Sharp is a genuine sharpshooter, a First-Team All-Big 12 pick who drilled 37.2 percent from deep on high volume at Houston and profiles as the 3-and-D floor spacer Sacramento needed after finishing last in threes made. Notably, he landed a standard three-year deal rather than the two-way most late-second-rounders get. Still, the fantasy path is narrow and role-gated: threes and steals if he wins the floor-spacer minutes behind Zach LaVine and Malik Monk, little if he's shuttling to the G League.--Brian Dailisan

While playing in all 17 games in 2025, Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy saw his receiving yards cut by more than half from his previous season, a 90-catch, 1,229-yard campaign that earned him his first Pro Bowl selection. His first season with the team saw him hyper-targeted to end the year by a combination of Jameis Winston, Dorian Thompson-Robinson, and Bailey Zappe, earning double-digit opportunities in six of the final nine weeks. While the team's quarterback rotation continued into 2025, the players changed, and with Joe Flacco, Dillon Gabriel, and Shedeur Sanders all starting games, Jeudy only topped 10 targets twice all season, and an inability to form a connection with any of his signal callers led to one of the lowest reception percentages in the league. Heading into 2026, the Browns' quarterback situation is as unsettled as ever, with Sanders and veteran Deshaun Watson projected to battle throughout training camp for the starting job in new head coach Todd Monken's offense, and with the team spending two top 40 picks on the receiver position, Jeudy could face the most significant target competition since being traded from Denver. With all these factors at play, expectations are low heading into the 2026 season, and Jeudy is RotoBaller's WR64.--Patrick McGrath

The undrafted Wisconsin product is on an Exhibit 10 deal, so his path to regular-season fantasy value remains narrow.

Chicago Cubs reliever Jacob Webb was sharp on Sunday against the St. Louis Cardinals, where he worked two innings, allowing one hit, zero runs, one walk, and one strikeout. Over his last five appearances, he hasn't allowed a run and has racked up two wins and one save during that stretch. On the season, Webb carries a 3.29 ERA, 1.33 WHIP, and a 46:14 K:BB ratio over 38 appearances. Although those numbers look good on the surface, he has only converted three out of his seven save opportunities. It's likely the Cubs look into relief help at the trade deadline, as they sit at 50-40 and six games back in the NL Central and currently own the top spot in the NL Wild Card standings. Daniel Palencia (elbow) landed on the 15-day Injured List, which is why the Cubs have been relying on Webb and others to close games out. In the short term, Webb has emerged as the likely reliever to close games out, and has value in deeper formats for teams struggling to get saves in the short-term.--Nicho Roessler

He finished with 13 points, three rebounds, three steals, and two assists across 28 minutes during a 93-91 double-overtime win over the Miami Heat. The second-year forward made an impact with his activity on both ends, but his shooting remains a concern after he went 3-for-9 from the field, 0-for-2 from three-point range, and 4-for-7 at the line.

Beginning with one of the most dominant fantasy seasons ever in his first year as a starter, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes went on a five-year run that saw him finish as the QB4 or better four different times with bookending QB1 finishes. Since then, some of his most dangerous weapons have either moved on or slowed with age, and major philosophical changes in Kansas City have led to a statistical decline and the three worst fantasy seasons of his career. After leading one of the league's most aggressive offenses in his early seasons, Mahomes has seen his air yards drop from 8.6 yards per attempt to only 6.9 over his past three seasons. The more conservative approach has not necessarily led to more efficiency, as his touchdown-to-interception ratio also dropped by nearly half over that span. A saving grace for fantasy has been an increased scramble rate, which saw Mahomes rush for career highs of 422 yards and five touchdowns in 2025 despite playing in only 14 games before his season was ended by a torn ACL and LCL in his left knee. How much of his mobility returns when he gets back on the field could be the most crucial element in determining his fantasy value in 2026, as his pass catchers remain largely unchanged from previous seasons. Expected to return to 11-on-11 work as early as training camp, Mahomes' movement will be watched closely, but for now he is RotoBaller's QB13 for 2026.--Patrick McGrath

Boston Red Sox outfielder Roman Anthony (fingers) is set to visit with Dr. Gary Lourie, who is a hand specialist, in the coming week, according to The Boston Globe's Tim Healey. Interim manager Chad Tracy said on Sunday that Anthony's scheduled visit with a hand specialist is "for peace of mind" and to get Anthony to "a spot where he can focus each day on just pounding away at getting that hand healthy." The former top prospect has been out for nine weeks with a partially torn ligament in his right ring finger. He has yet to resume swinging a bat and doesn't have a timetable for a return. The 22-year-old former second-round selection in 2022 is quickly developing an injury-prone label after finishing his rookie season on the injured list last year. Anthony has played in just 30 games in 2026 and has hit .229 (25-for-109) with a homer, five RBI, 12 runs, and two steals in 130 plate appearances. His power/speed upside makes him a hold in all fantasy leagues, but at this point, it seems unlikely that Anthony will be ready to return from the 60-day injured list until August. He's rostered in 79% of Yahoo leagues.--Keith Hernandez
