Xavier Legette Figuring Some Things Out?
It didn't look good for wide receiver Xavier Legette when the Carolina Panthers drafted University of Tennessee wideout Chris Brazzell II in the third round this year. However, teammates and coaches have indicated that Legette "might be figuring out some things" after he struggled with drops and other "mishaps" in his first two seasons, according to Joseph Person of The Athletic. Quarterback Bryce Young has also said he's having "next-level conversations" with Legette about routes, play concepts, and coverages. "From the minute he's gotten here, he's 100 miles an hour," head coach Dave Canales said. "He's putting in the time in the playbook. He's busting his butt on the field, working on little technical skills." The 25-year-old former first-rounder in 2024 out of the University of South Carolina lost around eight pounds in the offseason and worked to "bulletproof" his hamstring. It sounds like he knows he's a player who is running out of chances. It remains to be seen if Legette's hard work will pay off, but there's no guarantee he'll return to WR2 duties in 2026 while he battles for targets with Brazzell and Jalen Coker. In 12-team leagues, Legette will go undrafted this fall.

Collin Morikawa Still Looking for Ball-Striking at U.S. Open
Despite playing in five events since the back injury that took him out at The Players, Collin Morikawa hasn't reclaimed the magic he had before. The ball striking has been measly of late compared to what he was doing earlier in the year before the lumbar region became an issue. He isn't giving up strokes to the field, but the usual dominance, both off the tee and on approach, isn't there. Morikawa ranks seventh on the season in strokes gained from tee to green (1.255), but he hasn't performed at that level since Harbour Town. His name will still command hefty attention, but it may be better to let others take the bait and look elsewhere.

Dario Saric Inks Multi-Year Deal with Istanbul Powerhouse
Croatian forward/center Dario Saric is leaving the NBA to sign a 2+1 contract with Anadolu Efes Istanbul, returning to the Turkish club he last played for before joining the Philadelphia 76ers in 2016. The 32-year-old made the NBA All-Rookie First Team with Philadelphia in 2017 but spent his final NBA seasons as a deep reserve, playing sparingly for Denver and Sacramento before being moved through Chicago and Detroit and waived in February. Saric appeared in only five games in 2025-26, averaging 1.0 points, 1.2 rebounds, and 0.4 assists. For fantasy managers, there is nothing to chase here: Saric was already off the NBA radar, and the EuroLeague move takes him off NBA fantasy boards for the foreseeable future.

Matt McLain Emerging as a High-End Power/Speed Bat to Target on the Waiver Wire
Across 268 plate appearances in 2026, Cincinnati Reds infielder Matt McLain is hitting .208/.315/.364 with eight home runs, 25 RBI, 31 runs scored, and 11 stolen bases. While the 26-year-old's season-long numbers don't leap off the page, he's begun to heat up in June. Across 46 plate appearances this month, McLain is hitting .270/.413/.595 with three home runs, five RBI, nine runs scored, and four stolen bases. With his 10.1% barrel rate and his homer-friendly home park in Cincinnati, McLain has significant power upside. He's also raised his walk rate to 12.3% while lowering his strikeout rate 23.9% so far this season, which should maximize his opportunities to get on base and use his speed. McLain's 20.4-degree launch angle limits his batting average upside, but he profiles as a potentially high-end power/speed threat for fantasy managers to target on the waiver wire.

Robert Saleh Not Worried About Cam Ward's Inaccuracy Issues
Tennessee Titans head coach Robert Saleh said that he's not too concerned about the misses and innacuracy issues that second-year quarterback Cam Ward has encountered so far this offseason, according to Turron Davenport of ESPN. Saleh is giving Ward a pass as he learns a new offense going into his second year in the NFL. However, it's an ongoing issue for the former first overall pick out of the University of Miami, as Ward completed only 59.8% of his 540 pass attempts over 17 starts in his rookie camapign in 2025. Ward didn't have much help on offense, though, on his way to throwing for 3,169 yards, 15 touchdowns, and seven interceptions as Tennessee's full-time starter. He was sacked a league-high 55 times while also carrying the ball 39 times for 159 rushing yards and two more touchdowns. There is certainly more intrigue around Ward as he heads into Year 2 with Brian Daboll as the Titans' offensive coordinator, but for Ward to take the next step, he is going to need to improve his accuracy. Ward's fantasy arrow is pointing up, but he should still only be targeted as a low-end QB2 with upside in drafts this fall.

Rashee Rice Released From Jail on Tuesday
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice (knee) was released from Dallas County Jail on Tuesday morning after serving 30 days for a probation violation, according to Ari Meirov of The 33rd Team. After being released, Rice ran away from cameras and refused to speak to the media before being taken away in an SUV. In addition to more off-the-field issues this offseason for the 26-year-old, Rice had a clean-up surgery on his right knee in May, but head coach Andy Reid said he expects Rice to be ready for the start of training camp in late July. Barring a setback with his knee this summer, Rice should be ready for the start of the 2026 regular season in early September, although another potential suspension to begin the year hanging over his head will have fantasy managers hesitant to take him early in drafts. When active, Rice has clearly established himself as the WR1 in KC as quarterback Patrick Mahomes' (knee) favorite weapon, but injuries and off-the-field issues have limited him to just 12 regular-season starts in the last two years. The former second-rounder in 2023 out of SMU is a risk/reward, low-end WR2/high-end WR3 target in upcoming 2026 fantasy drafts.

Noah Schultz Beginning a Rehab Assignment, a Top Waiver-Wire Stash Candidate?
Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Noah Schultz (knee) is set to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday, per Milb Central. The young left-hander has been sidelined since late May due to patellar tendinitis in his right knee, but it appears he could be nearing a return to the White Sox rotation. Schultz struggled across 38 2/3 innings (eight starts) after being called up for his MLB debut on April 14, recording a 2-4 record with a 5.82 ERA, 1.34 WHIP, and 33 strikeouts. Command was a major issue for the 22-year-old, as he walked 13.1% of the batters he faced. However, Schultz remains one of the top pitching prospects in baseball and was absolutely dominant across his three Triple-A appearances before the promotion, logging 19 strikeouts and allowing just six baserunners across 14 innings pitched. With his return from injury potentially right around the corner, Schultz could be worth prioritizing on the waiver wire for fantasy managers.

Aaron Gordon Could be on Offseason Trade Radar
Denver Nuggets forward/center Aaron Gordon is drawing trade interest from teams around the league, according to NBA insider Marc Stein. The 30-year-old remains a key piece for Denver, but his name makes sense as an offseason target because of his defensive versatility, finishing, and improved floor spacing. Gordon averaged 16.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 2.7 assists in 2025-26, shooting 49.7 percent from the field. A trade could give him a cleaner offensive role, although his fantasy ceiling still depends heavily on whether he lands somewhere that asks him to create more rather than simply finish plays.

Darryn Peterson Limits Pre-Draft Visits to Washington
Kansas guard Darryn Peterson has met with only the Washington Wizards ahead of the June 23-24 NBA Draft and does not plan to grant another team a visit, ESPN's Shams Charania and Jeremy Woo report. The freshman guard, long viewed as a top-two prospect, is betting Washington takes him at No. 1. Rival AJ Dybantsa visited both the Wizards and the Jazz (No. 2), and some around the league believe his scoring-wing profile better fits what Washington wants, so Peterson's landing spot is not settled. For dynasty managers, that matters. A backcourt already holding Trae Young, Tre Johnson, and Bub Carrington would crowd his early usage, while a slide to Utah could open a cleaner runway. Peterson averaged 20.2 points and 4.2 rebounds at Kansas but appeared in just 24 games because of hamstring and ankle trouble.

Spencer Horwitz Emerging as a Must-Add First Baseman on the Waiver Wire
Across 264 plate appearances in 2026, Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman Spencer Horwitz is hitting .281/.383/.452 with nine home runs, 31 RBI, 29 runs scored, and one stolen base. The 28-year-old has demonstrated an elite plate approach so far this season, lowering his strikeout rate to a career-low 14.0% while maintaining a 13.3% walk rate. Horwitz has also emerged as the leadoff hitter in the Pirates' lineup on a near-everyday basis, which should allow him to continue racking up counting stats. The lefty-swinger's 8.0% barrel rate and 33.5% hard-hit rate are underwhelming and do not point to high-end power upside. Still, Horwitz's balanced approach at the plate and his ability to hit both right and left-handed pitching make him an appealing waiver wire target for fantasy managers.

Is Landen Roupp Still Worth Targeting on the Waiver Wire Despite Recent Struggles?
Across 74 1/3 innings (14 starts) in 2026, San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Landen Roupp has recorded a 5-7 record with a 4.24 ERA, 1.29 WHIP, and 82 strikeouts. After a red-hot start to the season, Roupp has cooled off considerably in June. Across 14 1/3 innings (three starts) this month, the 27-year-old has allowed 10 walks and 13 earned runs. The lack of command is a concern for Roupp, as his walk rate is now up to 10.2% on the year. However, there's still reason to believe Roupp will bounce back from this current rough stretch. He's struck out a career-best 26.2% of the batters he's faced so far this season. Roupp also does a great job of limiting home runs (0.48 HR/9) because of his stellar ground ball rate (49.2%). In leagues where he may have been dropped due to his recent struggles, Roupp could be worthy of a buy-low waiver wire add ahead of his next scheduled start against the Atlanta Braves on Thursday.

Malachi Toney One of College Football's Elite Playmakers
As a true freshman, Miami wide receiver Malachi Toney helped the Hurricanes reach the College Football Playoff National Championship Game with 109 receptions for 1,211 yards and 10 touchdowns. He added 113 yards and one score as a runner. The local Miami product flashed his game-changing ability from Day 1, collecting six receptions for 82 yards and a score in primetime against Notre Dame, and continued to be Carson Beck's go-to receiver all season. Entering Year 2, he'll be catching passes from standout quarterback Darian Mensah and sharing the field with wideout Cooper Barkate. Another monster productive season should be in store for the electric Toney, making him one of the most exciting players to monitor in 2026.

Walker Kessler Displeased with Jazz Front Office
Utah Jazz center Walker Kessler is displeased with the front office's handling of his pending restricted free agency, according to Sam Amick of The Athletic. The 24-year-old was positioned for a meaningful contract year before left shoulder surgery ended his season after only five starts. Kessler still averaged 14.4 points, 10.8 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.4 steals, and 1.8 blocks in 30.8 minutes, reminding fantasy managers why his category profile remains so valuable. Restricted free agency usually gives the Jazz control, but a tense process could add short-term uncertainty to one of the league's better rebound-and-block anchors.

Is Grant Taylor Destined to Take Over the Closer Role in Chicago?
Chicago White Sox right-hander Grant Taylor has been one of his team's best pitchers in 2026, recording a 2-0 record with a 2.21 ERA, 1.04 WHIP, 52 strikeouts, and two saves across 36 2/3 innings (27 games). The 24-year-old is averaging 98.4 miles per hour on his fastball and owns an elite 29.1% K-BB rate. So far this season, Chicago has deployed Taylor as both an opener and in a fireman role out of the bullpen rather than in the ninth inning. Veteran reliever Seranthony Dominguez currently leads the team with 12 saves, but he's also logged a 13.5% walk rate and a 3.81 ERA. The White Sox have shown a willingness to give save opportunities to both Taylor and left-hander Bryan Hudson. If Chicago eventually pulls the plug on Dominguez, Taylor profiles as the obvious replacement option. Even if Taylor only gets the occasional save the rest of the way, he's pitched well enough that he can still be a valuable waiver wire addition for fantasy managers.

Alexandre Sarr Has Surgery on Fractured Foot
Washington Wizards center Alexandre Sarr (foot) underwent surgery on Monday to repair a fractured right foot, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. Sarr suffered the injury on a contact play during an offseason workout late last week, but he is expected to be healthy for the start of the season. The 21-year-old took a strong step forward in 2025-26, averaging 16.3 points, 7.4 rebounds, 2.7 assists, and 2.0 blocks across 48 starts. Availability remains the only real concern after he missed 34 games last season, but the start-of-season expectation keeps his fantasy outlook mostly intact.

Jung Hoo Lee Emerging as a Batting-Average Asset on the Waiver Wire
San Francisco Giants outfielder Jung Hoo Lee has been one of his team's lone offensive bright spots so far in 2026, hitting .331/.364/.445 with three home runs, 24 RBI, 35 runs scored, and three stolen bases across 261 plate appearances. With a 9.5% strikeout rate, Lee is one of the most difficult players in baseball to strike out. The 27-year-old is also on an absolute tear in June, hitting .431 across his first 53 plate appearances this month. Lee's underlying contact metrics suggest that his power upside is very limited, as he owns a 2.3% barrel rate and a 30.6% hard-hit rate. He's also benefitted from a .356 batting average on balls in play so far this season, which is significantly higher than his career mark of .305. Still, Lee profiles as a batting average asset for fantasy managers even with some regression baked in. For fantasy managers who have power to spare but are struggling with batting average, Lee could be worth targeting on the waiver wire.

Bulls Name Tiago Splitter as New Head Coach
The Chicago Bulls have officially named Tiago Splitter as their new head coach, the team announced, after ESPN's Shams Charania earlier reported the franchise was finalizing the hire of the Portland Trail Blazers interim coach. The 41-year-old replaces Billy Donovan and arrives with a reputation for player development, having guided Portland to a 42-40 record and a playoff berth after taking over for Chauncey Billups last season. Chicago landed on Splitter for that development track record, which matters most for Matas Buzelis. The breakout forward started a team-high 77 games and posted a 41-point night at Golden State in March, profiling as the clearest beneficiary of a coach schooled in the Gregg Popovich system. Guard Josh Giddey is the other piece to watch after averaging 17.0 points, 9.1 assists, and 8.3 rebounds, with the No. 4 pick in next week's draft adding another project to the room.

Can Marcel Reed Take the Next Step in 2026?
Texas A&M quarterback Marcel Reed was a standout performer for much of the 2025 campaign, completing 62.1% of his passes for 3,169 yards and 25 touchdowns. He also ran for 493 yards and six scores. However, he threw 12 interceptions overall and logged his worst two performances in the team's final two games. In big-time matchups against Texas and Miami, Reed threw for just 417 yards, no touchdowns, and four picks. The Aggies benefited from having one of the easier schedules in the SEC last year, but as the league heads to nine conference games, Reed will need to take the next step if the Aggies want to get back into the College Football Playoff. Fortunately, he'll have a strong supporting cast to work with, including wideouts Mario Craver and Isaiah Horton. On the other hand, Texas A&M has just 25% of its offensive line snaps returning in 2026.

Williams-Dixon was competing for a role in South Carolina's backfield this offseason after transferring from Ohio State. He tallied 10 rushes for 62 yards and one touchdown over the last two seasons with the Buckeyes. Matt Fuller, Christian Clark, and Jawarn Howell figure to have roles in the Gamecocks' backfield in 2026.

Francisco Lindor Could Start a Rehab Assignment Next Week
New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor (calf) started facing live pitching on June 12 in a simulated environment that also included defensive work. If additional sim games go well this week, Lindor could start a minor-league rehab assignment next week, according to MLB.com. The 32-year-old five-time All-Star and four-time Silver Slugger winner has been out since April 23 due to a left-calf strain, but he has been progressing and is fully expected to return to the Mets' starting lineup before the end of June. If everything goes well once Lindor begins a rehab assignment, it's possible that he could be back from the 10-day injured list by next weekend. Although Lindor was hitting just .226/.314/.355 with a .669 OPS, two home runs, five RBI, 14 runs scored, and two stolen bases in 24 games before his injury, he belongs on all fantasy rosters. The Puerto Rican shortstop had at least 31 home runs in each of the last three seasons while also driving in at least 86 runs and stealing 29 bases for the Mets.

Will Hammond (knee) is working his way back from a torn ACL and is expected to return in Week 3, so Francis, the Tulsa transfer, is slated to make starts against Abilene Christian and Oregon State. Francis has spent the last three seasons with Tulsa, throwing for 3,045 yards, 18 touchdowns, and 13 interceptions. While Francis was not brought in to play meaningful snaps for Texas Tech this season, the program should be able to handle its first two opponents thanks to a wide talent gap.

Eugenio Suarez Homers Twice, Drives in Six on Monday Against Mets
Cincinnati Reds third baseman Eugenio Suarez could be turning a corner after going 2-for-4 with two home runs, a season-high six RBI, and two strikeouts in the 12-0 blowout victory over the visiting New York Mets at Great American Ballpark on Monday night. The 34-year-old Venezuelan right-handed power hitter has struggled in 2026, slashing .222/.287/.395 with a .682 OPS, seven home runs, 25 RBI, 16 runs scored, and a career-high 31.5% strikeout rate in his 178 plate appearances in his return to Cincinnati. Suarez has always been a high-strikeout hitter with lots of swing and miss in his game, but he's also in just the ninth percentile in hard-hit rate in 2026, so when he is making contact, he's not hitting the ball as hard as he typically does. The two-time All-Star had a two-run homer and a grand slam on Monday against New York for his first multi-homer game of the year. In his last six games, Suarez has gone 8-for-24 (.333) with three homers, two doubles, nine RBI, three runs, no walks, and eight strikeouts. The strikeouts aren't going to go away, but he could be in the midst of a nice hot streak.

MacKenzie Gore Fans a Season-High 10 Hitters in Loss to Twins
Texas Rangers left-hander MacKenzie Gore was saddled with his sixth loss of the season in the 4-2 loss to the Minnesota Twins at Globe Life Field on Monday night, but he also had a season-high 10 strikeouts. Gore allowed four earned runs on four hits (two homers) while walking two. The 27-year-old southpaw was bit by the long ball early in this one, with most of the damage coming on a three-run homer off the bat of first baseman Josh Bell in the first inning. In his three starts in June, Gore has surrendered 10 earned runs on 21 hits (two homers) while walking eight and striking out 21 in 16 2/3 innings pitched. He's now 4-6 with a 4.27 ERA (3.65 FIP) and 1.31 WHIP with 86 strikeouts and 35 walks in 78 innings over his 15 starts in his first season with the Rangers. It's been an up-and-down year for Gore in 2026, but fantasy managers should consider him a strong streaming option for his upcoming matchup against his former team, the San Diego Padres. The Padres currently rank last in MLB in OPS at .652.

Nick Kurtz Continues Power Binge With Two More Homers
Athletics first baseman Nick Kurtz is as hot as they come right now. In the A's 11-2 blowout win over the visiting Pittsburgh Pirates on Monday night, Kurtz went 3-for-4 at the plate with two home runs, five RBI, and a walk to raise his season average to .293 and his OPS to 1.006. Both of his home runs on the night were powered to the opposite field and were light-tower shots. Overall in his second season in the big leagues, Kurtz is hitting .293/.443/.563 with 18 home runs, a league-high 57 RBI, 51 runs scored, and seven stolen bases in 325 plate appearances. The former fourth overall pick out of Wake Forest University in 2024 immediately turned into a fantasy star in his rookie campaign last year, hitting .290 (122-for-420) with 36 home runs and 86 RBI in 117 games played. Kurtz also leads the league this year with his 67 walks and .443 on-base percentage. So far in June, he's crushing baseballs to the tune of a .313 average (15-for-48) with eight home runs, a double, 16 RBI, 12 runs, and a steal. The combination of his elite raw power and his hitter-friendly home park in Sacramento is certainly paying off for fantasy managers.

Hideki Matsuyama Searching For Answers at US Open
There has been little to be excited about for Hideki Matsuyama as of late, coming off a T43 finish at Muirfield a couple weeks ago. The driver has abandoned him, as he's struggled to find fairways this season and isn't the longest player by any accounts. This deficiency there has also possibly creeped into the approach game, losing strokes there in two of his last four starts. He's been a commanding player from tee to green over his career and still retains a stellar short game. There is a ton of risk to take on given the current form, but overall talent and known ceiling when everything is in shape should warrant Matsuyama having some interest this week, but it's probably better suited for GPP.

Dynasty Hope Remains for Ja'Tavion Sanders Despite a Subpar Situation
Carolina Panthers tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders has yet to make a fantasy impact in the NFL since coming into the league as a highly productive pass-catcher at Texas. The 2024 fourth-round pick missed five games in his sophomore season and ended the year with only 190 receiving yards on a paltry 6.6 yards per catch. Dating back to his time with Tampa, head coach Dave Canales has never had a tight end reach 50 receptions or 500 yards, and through his first three seasons, quarterback Bryce Young has yet to prove capable of supporting a high-volume passing offense. That said, if there is a tight end on the roster capable of spurring a philosophical shift, it is undoubtedly Sanders, with the rest of the depth chart built out by dedicated blockers Tommy Tremble and James Mitchell, along with 2025 fifth-round pick Mitchell Evans. At RotoBaller's dynasty TE40, there is still hope of a moderate third-year breakout for Sanders, but with two years remaining on his rookie deal, if the Panthers offense doesn't take a meaningful step forward in 2026, he could ultimately prove to be little more than a frustrating dynasty hold.

Is Garrett Whitlock a Top Reliever to Stash for Saves?
Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Garrett Whitlock has been very effective in a setup role this season for the struggling Red Sox, allowing just seven earned runs while racking up 27 strikeouts in 21 2/3 innings in his 22 appearances. He missed 15 days with left knee inflammation but returned last week and looked solid in two scoreless innings since coming back. Right now, he's clearly behind Aroldis Chapman in Boston's bullpen, and Chapman has been outstanding with 14 saves in 21 games. Chapman has been so good, though, that he's likely to be a hot commodity at the MLB Trade Deadline. If the Sox trade Chapman and keep Whitlock, Whitlock would quickly be an elite closer. Whitlock could also be on the trading block, though, leaving many unknown factors. If he ends up as the primary closer with the Red Sox or another team, he has the potential to be a great source of saves. If you're in a deep league where you have to move early, stashing him now could be a strategy that pays off down the stretch.

Josh Jung Can Be An Elite Contact Contributor
Texas Rangers third baseman Josh Jung is a great option on the waiver wire if you're looking for a consistent contact option from the hot corner. The 28-year-old righty has dramatically slashed his K% from 25.2% last year to 16.1% this year, while his batting average has jumped from .251 in 2025 to .302 in his first 67 games this season. His hard-hit rate and barrel rate have actually dipped a little bit, but he's putting the ball in play and making things happen from a premium run-production spot near the top of the order. Jung has eight homers to go with his 32 runs scored, 30 RBI, and his .360 wOBA. He has been especially effective at home, but wherever he has played, he has been solid enough to help fill in your roster if you need batting average and run production over pure power.

Tre' Harris Still the Odd Man Out in Improved Chargers Offense?
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Tre' Harris had a quiet rookie season after coming off the board in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft, finishing the year with 344 receiving yards and one touchdown on 32 catches. With the Chargers' offense among the most hyped heading into 2026, the drumbeat surrounding Harris remains relatively muted, as the depth chart ahead of him appears securely locked in place. Even with the team's most targeted player from 2025 no longer on the roster, an expected move to more two-receiver sets under new offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel will likely see Keenan Allen's 118 vacated opportunities distributed to other parts of the roster. Behind presumed starters Ladd McConkey and Quentin Johnston, Harris could again face a rotational role, with 2026 fourth-round pick Brenen Thompson brought on board for his obvious fit in McDaniels' speed and spacing-based offense. Should things go as well for the Chargers as some are expecting, McDaniel could see head coaching opportunities again in 2027, which would create the possibility of another re-roll for Harris, but for the time being, he simply remains a dynasty hold as RotoBaller's WR64.

Is Ian Seymour Stepping Up as a Potential Stash Candidate?
Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher/relief pitcher Ian Seymour seems to be moving towards a transition to a spot in the starting rotation after beginning the year in the bullpen. He has a 4.93 ERA and 4.64 FIP in his 38 1/3 innings this season, but his xERA is only 3.54, indicating he has had some below-average contact luck. He has 41 strikeouts in 38 1/3 innings, and his 25% K% is enough to give him an intriguing upside. The 27-year-old lefty started against the Red Sox last Monday and went four innings, giving up just one run. On Sunday, he came in after an opener and worked 3 1/3 innings against the Angels, allowing two runs on two hits and three walks. He'll need to improve his control and efficiency as he stretches back out, but his strikeout upside makes him worth stashing in deep leagues if the Rays continue to position him to pitch as a starter or a predictable primary reliever going forward.
