Tyrrell Hatton Looks to Keep Momentum Rolling in Scotland
Tyrrell Hatton took several weeks off after his performance at the US Open (T7). The English golfer has played overseas while playing three majors on the PGA Tour in 2026. His showing at the Masters was an eye-opener (T3). Those two majors saw Hatton finish off really well, including a 67 at Shinnecock. It is not a surprise that Hatton gains a ton of strokes when all the facets of his game are working. He will be one to watch after gaining more than a full stroke in putting in back-to-back events. A longer course like the Masters displayed Hatton's ability to hit fairways and set up for shorter putts. Once he got past that rough start, he was a different golfer. That makes him a good weekend DFS consideration, at the very least.

Rasmus Hojgaard Returns to Competitive Golf at Genesis Scottish Open
Rasmus Hojgaard needs the other parts of his game to be in form in Scotland. The Norwegian golfer took more than a month off for surgery to fix a ruptured eardrum. Hojgaard, before his hiatus, was one of the longest drivers on tour (321.4 yards - 6th). The problem is his accuracy which ranks a mere 143rd at 50%. He had been struggling before the time off with a missed cut and two finishes outside the Top 50. Approach to the green and putting dropped off a good deal leading up to his break. Hojgaard averaged 29.67 putts per round which led to a 70.39 scoring average. This week may be a time to watch him play and work the kinks out. Basically, fading him from a DFS or betting point of view may be prudent.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba Remains an Elite Wide Receiver Option Entering 2026
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba was arguably the best pass-catcher in football in 2025, recording 119 catches for 1,793 yards and 10 touchdowns on 163 targets across 17 games. The 24-year-old was remarkably efficient, averaging 3.61 yards per route run while seeing 35.8% of the Seahawks' total targets. Entering 2026, Smith-Njigba once again profiles as the clear number one option in a Seattle passing game that lacks another obvious high-volume target-earner. The Seahawks threw the ball at the third-lowest rate in the NFL in 2025 but may be forced to turn to the air more often this season after losing running back Kenneth Walker III to the Kansas City Chiefs in free agency. With Smith-Njigba entering the prime of his career, he has a legitimate case to be the number one overall pick in redraft leagues ahead of 2026.

Ryan Gerard's Improved Putting is Key to Genesis Scottish Open
Ryan Gerard did not excel with putting in 2025. The young American golfer has gained 0.337 strokes to putting overall (31st). Gerard ranked 154th in this metric last year as he was getting used to the rigors of the PGA Tour. Gerard was well outside the Top 50 at the Genesis Scottish Open in 2025. Gerard drives the ball a respectable 303.8 yards and has a solid 63.34% accuracy. Again, the biggest improvement is in the putting. His putts per round starts out slow at 29.06 but comes down as the rounds go by. Do not forget the birdie or better percentage of 35.42% (9th) which is a huge improvement over 2025 (29.96%). Gerard has the potential to be a factor DFS-wise in Scotland.

Should Redraft Managers Avoid Matthew Stafford at His Current ADP?
Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford had a historic season in 2025, throwing for 4,707 yards, 46 touchdowns, and eight interceptions across 17 games and being named the NFL's MVP. Stafford was an elite fantasy QB last season, particularly in leagues that award six points per passing touchdown. Still, there are multiple reasons to expect regression from Stafford in 2026. For one, the veteran quarterback is entering his age-38 season and has a history of back and neck issues. Stafford also posted a 7.7% touchdown rate as a passer in 2025, which is well above his career mark of 4.8%. By measure of per-game scoring, Stafford finished outside the top-24 at the quarterback position in 2024. However, he's currently being valued as a low-end QB1/high-end QB2 by average draft position in redraft formats. Unless his price continues to come down, Stafford may be a player for redraft managers to avoid in 2026.

Alex Fitzpatrick in Great Form Heading to Scotland
Alex Fitzpatrick started in April on the PGA Tour this year. The English golfer has five Top 10 finishes already including winning the Zurich Classic of New Orleans. The younger Fitzpatrick is only 27 but he is showing the potential to win big events and maybe even a major. Some of the early numbers are off the charts. Fitzpatrick averages 310.7 yards a drive with a 70.92% accuracy. Greens in regulation for Fitzpatrick is up to 70.44% over 28 measured rounds. The younger brother of Matt could be a real factor from a betting standpoint this week. A Top 20 is still well into the plus money territory.

Does Calvin Ridley Carry Sneaky Redraft Sleeper Appeal into 2026?
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley (leg) had a season to forget in 2025, as he played in just seven games and suffered a season-ending broken fibula in Week 11. The 31-year-old finished the year with just 17 catches for 303 yards and zero touchdowns on 36 targets. Entering 2026, Ridley may now profile as the third option in the Titans' passing game behind slot receiver Wan'Dale Robinson and rookie wideout Carnell Tate. Still, the overall offensive environment in Tennessee should be improved with Brian Daboll in place as the play-caller and quarterback Cam Ward entering his second season. Ridley should be fully healthy for the start of the 2026 season, and he recorded back-to-back 1,000-yard campaigns in 2023 and 2024. Fantasy managers should no longer expect peak production from Ridley, but he may still be a value selection as the 67th wide receiver off the board by average draft position in redraft leagues.

Dan Brown Welcoming the Genesis Scottish Open
Dan Brown has struggled mightily in his last two tournaments. The English golfer faces the Genesis Scottish Open this week. Renaissance Club is a modesty long 7.237 yard Par-70 course. Brown only averages 299.3 yards (118th) but has a decent 60.12% driver accuracy. Brown finished outside the Top 50 at this event in 2025. The good news is that Brown is close to home. The bad news is his overall form. Brown has only made six cut in 14 events in 2026 and 2 Top 25 results. Brown has had three subpar second rounds in his previous four events. It makes Brown a volatile DFS pick at best for Thursday but a fade for the rest of the tournament.

Dalton Kincaid May Be Overvalued by Current Redraft ADP
Across 12 games in 2025, Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid recorded 39 catches for 571 yards and five touchdowns on 49 targets. The 26-year-old has flashed upside since entering the league in 2023, but he's missed nine games due to injury over the past two seasons. The Bills have also limited Kincaid's workload even in games where he's been active, as he failed to reach 50% of Buffalo's offensive snaps in any game after Week 5 in 2025. Entering 2026, Kincaid is reportedly fully healthy. However, the Bills added a high-volume target over the offseason in wide receiver DJ Moore and still have tight ends Dawson Knox and Jackson Hawes on their roster. As the TE12 by average draft position in redraft formats, Kincaid may be overvalued entering 2026.

Ty Simpson is a Prime Target for Dynasty Rebuilds
The Los Angeles Rams surprised many when they selected quarterback Ty Simpson with the 13th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Simpson was a productive player for the University of Alabama in 2025, completing 64.5% of his pass attempts for 3,567 yards, 28 touchdowns, and five interceptions across 15 games. Still, Los Angeles has the reigning NFL MVP ahead of Simpson on their quarterback depth chart in Matthew Stafford. As long as Stafford stays healthy, Simpson is at least one year and possibly longer from taking over under center for the Rams. However, Stafford is entering his age-38 season and has a history of back issues. Simpson is also in an ideal developmental spot in Los Angeles under Rams head coach Sean McVay. For dynasty managers engaged in a rebuild, targeting Simpson is a logical move.

Is Fernando Mendoza Undervalued in Redraft Leagues?
The No. 1 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Fernando Mendoza, profiles as his new team's long-term answer under center. Mendoza had a dominant junior season at the University of Indiana in 2025, completing 72% of his pass attempts for 3,535 yards, 41 touchdowns, and six interceptions across 16 games. The 22-year-old also showed some ability to produce with his legs, recording 276 rushing yards and seven touchdowns. Currently, Mendoza appears to be entering his rookie training camp behind both Kirk Cousins and Aidan O'Connell on the Raiders' quarterback depth chart. However, Cousins is entering his age-38 season, and O'Connell has not shown anything more than quality backup quarterback production to this point in his career. Mendoza could easily emerge as the starter in Las Vegas early on in 2026. With a current average draft position of QB27, Mendoza may be undervalued in redraft formats.

Walbert Urena a Rookie Strikeout Arm to Add Now?
Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Walbert Urena has worked his way into the 12-team waiver mix with a 3.03 ERA, 1.31 WHIP, and 75 strikeouts through 77 1/3 innings. The 22-year-old held Seattle to one run and one hit over 5 2/3 innings on July 2, bouncing back after Oakland tagged him for seven runs in his previous start. The walks are the part that can still make this frustrating. Urena has issued 41 free passes, and his 12.2% walk rate shows up in the WHIP even with the strong ERA. Still, a 3.26 xERA and 33.2% hard-hit rate support most of what he has done so far. RotoBaller lists Urena at 34% rostered in Yahoo formats and recommends him in 12-team leagues. He is worth adding for managers who need innings and steady strikeout help.

Charlie Condon Firmly in "Must-Stash" Territory Ahead of All-Star Break
Colorado Rockies outfield prospect Charlie Condon is mashing at Triple-A Albuquerque this season, and with his prospect pedigree, it could be a matter of time before he forces his way to Coors Field. Condon, who can play first base or the outfield, is hitting .294 this season with Albuquerque, with 20 homers and 60 RBI to go with five stolen bases. The former No. 3 overall pick is on the verge of his first big league look, and fantasy managers should act accordingly. Now is the time to roster Condon as a stash, and despite a deep outfield at the big-league level, with TJ Rumfield manning first base, he looks ready to force his way into a roster spot with Colorado. Condon could prove to be a second-half difference-maker in fantasy leagues, and the race to roster him could be on.

Curtis Mead a Must-Add for Power Help?
Washington Nationals third baseman Curtis Mead is not going to help every roster the same way, but the power is getting harder to ignore. Mead is batting just .232 through 237 at-bats, so there is some batting-average risk here. He has still supplied 14 home runs, 39 RBI, 38 runs, and five steals, which is a useful return for a player available in most leagues. The appeal gets better because Mead qualifies at first base, second base, and third base in RotoBaller's rankings. His 10.9% barrel rate and 41.9% hard-hit rate also suggest the power is not just empty box-score noise. Fantasy managers should not treat him like a safe average play, and the profile can be streaky. Still, Mead is only 18% rostered on Yahoo, and RotoBaller recommends him in 12-team leagues. That makes him a reasonable power add for corner or middle-infield spots.

Luke Adams Worth a Look in Deep Leagues Amid Clear Path to MLB At-Bats
Milwaukee Brewers third base prospect Luke Adams is producing in the minor leagues in the midst of an injury-plagued season. Adams is hitting .252 with 13 homers and 32 RBI in 131 at-bats this season, to go with five stolen bases between two levels, including Triple-A Nashville. The Brewers' No. 12 overall prospect, Adams suffered a wrist injury early this season but returned to post strong numbers in Nashville and offer a glimpse of his upside at third base. David Hamilton mans the hot corner at the big league level for the Brewers at the moment, but Adams, a right-handed bat, is providing some evidence that he could be ready for a look at the major leagues and could be a platoon partner for the left-handed-hitting Hamilton. Savvy fantasy managers in deep leagues may want to look into Adams and give him a chance at a roster spot ahead of the All-Star break.

Willi Castro a Useful Waiver Add Despite Playing-Time Risk?
Colorado Rockies second baseman Willi Castro still offers enough category help and roster flexibility to stay in the waiver mix, but this is not a clean must-add. Castro is batting .269 with six home runs, 38 runs, 35 RBI, and six steals through 268 at-bats. He has also gone 33-for-116 (.284) with four homers, 16 runs, 17 RBI, and three steals over his last 30 games, even with a colder stretch mixed in. The concern is playing time. Castro has gone just 4-for-27 over his last seven games, and Colorado has started sitting him more often against right-handed pitching. His eligibility at first base, second base, third base, shortstop, and outfield still gives fantasy managers several ways to use him. With his Yahoo roster rate down to 40%, Castro fits as a 12-team bench option for managers who need flexibility, not as a priority pickup.

Kade Anderson's Elite Double-A Production Makes him a Priority Stash
Seattle Mariners pitching prospect Kade Anderson suffered his first loss at Double-A Arkansas following his July 3 start. He only allowed two earned runs to pick up his first loss of the season in his 8-1 overall record. His numbers look video game worthy with a 1.36 ERA and 0.69 WHIP with 108 strikeouts in 72 2/3 innings pitched. The No. 3 overall draft pick out of LSU has dominated the minors in his first season of professional baseball. Before a stop in Seattle and a spot in the Mariners rotation, Anderson would likely need some seasoning at Triple-A. So while his numbers call out for a stash for fantasy managers, some patience is required. Managers in mid-size leagues would be smart to use a roster spot now on Anderson and wait to see if it pays off. The prospect pedigree looks elite for Anderson, and it's worth using an early roster spot to acquire his services.

Dylan Crews Showing Signs of a Post-Hype Breakout?
Washington Nationals right fielder Dylan Crews still has not fully broken through, but the fantasy case is getting easier to see. He is batting .232 with six home runs, 18 RBI, 23 runs, and five steals through 155 at-bats. That line is still uneven, but Crews has gone 18-for-58 with two homers, 12 runs, four RBI, three steals, and six walks over his last 15 games. This is more upside bet than finished product. Crews is hitting the ball hard, with a 90.9 mph average exit velocity, 44.2% hard-hit rate, and 9.2% barrel rate, and his speed gives him another path to fantasy value. The .232 average and low walk rate are real concerns, so this should not be framed as a safe five-category breakout yet. Crews is rostered in 35% of Yahoo leagues and belongs in 12-team formats.

Rockies Outfield Prospect Zac Veen on the Verge of a Promotion?
Colorado Rockies outfield prospect Zac Veen continues to impress at the Triple-A level this season, and his latest demonstration is a two-homer game for Albuquerque on July 5. Veen is about as solid as it comes as a minor league hitter for the Rockies. The 24-year-old is hitting .323 with 16 homers and 58 RBI in Albuquerque this season, along with 14 stolen bases. The five-tool product is worth a speculative roster spot on most fantasy rosters, as he could enjoy a great deal of success if promoted to the Rockies and able to play his home games at Coors Field. Veen is the No. 13 prospect on the Rockies' top prospects list, but he is putting up some of the best numbers in the system at the moment. Stashing him now might be the right move for managers to make in preparation for his call-up, as he could provide immense upside once he returns to the majors. Jake McCarthy, Cole Carrigg, and Mickey Moniak are performing well in the outfield now for Colorado, but the prospects of Veen are nonetheless very enticing for the big league club.

Tatsuya Imai Worth a Waiver Claim for Strikeouts?
Houston Astros starting pitcher Tatsuya Imai is a tough player to trust, but the strikeouts keep him on the waiver-wire radar. The 28-year-old is 5-4 with a 6.14 ERA, 1.47 WHIP, and 60 strikeouts through 48 1/3 innings. He struck out 11 over six innings against Cleveland on June 19 and followed with 10 strikeouts over six scoreless innings at Detroit on June 25. Then came the reminder of why he is still available. Imai lasted only 1 1/3 innings against Minnesota on July 1, allowing five runs and walking five. His 27.9% strikeout rate is useful, but a 14.0% walk rate and 46.3% hard-hit rate explain the ugly ratios. Imai is rostered in 40% of Yahoo leagues, and RotoBaller lists him as an add in 12-team formats. He fits teams chasing strikeouts, not managers protecting ERA and WHIP.

Nick Gonzales a Must-Add While the Bat Is This Hot?
Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman Nick Gonzales is making it harder to explain why he is still available in so many leagues. He is batting .312 with four home runs, 49 runs, 40 RBI, and four steals through 317 at-bats, and the bat has stayed hot into July. Gonzales is 13-for-27 over his last seven games and 22-for-54 with two homers, 11 runs, and seven RBI over his last 15. The appeal is not just one hot week. Gonzales qualifies at second base, third base, and shortstop in RotoBaller's rankings, which makes the production easier to fit into fantasy lineups. The power is still more useful than exciting, with a 2.8% barrel rate, so managers should not add him expecting a home-run surge. But a .300-plus bat with runs, RBI, a few steals, and that much eligibility should be rostered. Gonzales is at 30% on Yahoo and belongs in 12-team leagues.

Top Boston Prospect Franklin Arias Not Quite Worth a Roster Stash
Boston Red Sox shortstop prospect Franklin Arias is impressing at Double-A this season, but he could be a long way away from making an impact in fantasy leagues. Double-A Portland has been good to the 20-year-old, as he has amassed 17 homers and 47 RBI while hitting .332 with five stolen bases. The numbers are mighty impressive for Boston's top overall prospect, but at just 20 years old, he would likely need a lengthy look at Triple-A before he would make his major league debut. Arias ranks as the No. 4 prospect in the minors at shortstop, but the Venezuelan is most likely to make his debut in Boston next year. He continues to impress in the minors but is likely not worth using a roster spot this season. His name is one to definitely file away as he continues to progress, but next year might be his time to shine on fantasy teams.

Do Joshua Baez's Elite Power Numbers Make Him the Top Stash Target?
St. Louis Cardinals outfield prospect Joshua Baez continues to show off his power with another multi-home run game in the bag already in July. Baez gained notoriety when he hit four home runs in a June game for Triple-A Memphis and has yet to slow down. His overall power numbers at Memphis are elite and some of the best power numbers across all levels of the minor leagues. In all, he is hitting .263 with 28 homers and 69 RBI and has added 14 stolen bases. The numbers seem to scream promotion, but the Cardinals are being extremely patient with the 23-year-old. With the likes of Jordan Walker, Nathan Church, and Lars Nootbaar manning the outfield positions, St. Louis is in good hands at the major league level. They can afford to be patient, but there is not much more to see from Baez before believing he is ready for the next level. Fantasy managers in mid-to-deep leagues would be wise to use a roster spot on Baez now and could potentially reap the rewards later.

Willie Fritz Believes Houston Can Compete for National Championship
Houston head coach Willie Fritz is not putting a cap on the ceiling of the program, citing that his reason for leaving Tulane was for a chance to win a national championship. "I loved New Orleans and Tulane," Fritz said. "I wanted to have an opportunity to win a national championship. There's just a little bit more of a divide happening every year between Power Four and Group of Six, and that was part of it." The 66-year-old is entering his third season with the Cougars after a 10-3 campaign in 2025. Houston won just four games in each of its two first years in the Big 12, but the program has acquired depth and more high-end talent, making it a conference title contender in 2026. Veteran quarterback Conner Weigman is poised for a big year after the best season of his career, and the team added several impact transfers, including running back Makhi Hughes (Oregon) and wide receiver Trent Walker (Oregon State). Houston also just signed an elite quarterback prospect in Keisean Henderson, so its immediate and long-term future is bright in the new-look NIL era. "We're in the epicenter of football, in my opinion, in the world -- Houston, Texas," Fritz said. "I haven't been on a plane yet to recruit. We've got great facilities. We've got some work to do on the NIL front; we're working on that, but we've got over a quarter-million Houston alumni in the greater Houston area. We can get it done here."

Braves Promote Top Pitching Prospect Owen Murphy, a Top Add in All Leagues?
The Atlanta Braves announced on Monday that they selected the contract of right-handed pitching prospect Owen Murphy from Triple-A Gwinnett and placed left-hander Martin Perez (forearm) on the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move with a left-forearm contusion. Murphy, the team's No. 6 prospect per MLB Pipeline, gets his first major-league call-up after going 5-7 with a 4.44 ERA and 1.26 WHIP with 92 strikeouts and 38 walks in 81 innings in 16 starts this year with Double-A Columbus and Gwinnett. The 6-foot-1, 190-pounder is reportedly set to be a long man out of Atlanta's bullpen to close out the first half of the season, so fantasy managers in redraft leagues can hold off on spending money to pick him up off the waiver wire. In addition, pitching prospect JR Ritchie is back in the big leagues and will continue to feature in a relief role. Murphy's control has been impressive after returning from Tommy John surgery, and he has all the ingredients to be a long-term starting asset for the Braves, but that might not happen full-time until 2027.

Chase Briscoe Earns his First Cup Victory of 2026 at Chicagoland
Chase Briscoe of Joe Gibbs Racing won the Eero 400 at Chicagoland Speedway. Briscoe began the race from seventh place and ran a great race where he was a top contender throughout the entire event. He earned points through both stages as he placed fifth at the end of the first stage and was second behind William Byron at the end of the second stage. Briscoe led laps in both the second stage and the final stage, with most of his 51 total laps led coming in the final stage. Byron was Briscoe's main competitor in the final stage, but Briscoe timed his final pit stop a lap before Byron's on lap 215 and came out ahead with the lead. From there, Briscoe was never passed again and held off his teammate Christopher Bell for the win after Bell mounted a charge and was catching him in the final laps. The victory was Briscoe's first Cup win of the 2026 season and his first in the Cup Series at Chicagoland. Briscoe's victory moves him up to eighth in the regular-season standings after 19 races this year.

Christopher Bell Finishes as the Runner-Up for the Fourth Time This Year
Joe Gibbs Racing's Christopher Bell came close to winning the Eero 400 at Chicagoland Speedway, but was one position short. Starting from the sixth position, Bell quickly moved to the top five in the first stage, but then faded after a few cautions to end the stage in 12th with no stage points. In the second stage, Bell moved back up into the top 10 and eventually earned stage points as he placed sixth at the end of the stage. In the final stage, Bell became a contender for the win as he moved up through the top five and then started gaining ground on the front after his last pit stop. Bell went ahead and passed Denny Hamlin and William Byron as he had the fastest car in the closing laps to chase down Chase Briscoe. Ultimately, Bell had to contend with lap traffic, and although he positioned himself to make a move on Briscoe by the final lap, he could not get by him and settled for his fourth runner-up finish of the year. After Chicagoland, Bell now moves to 10th in the regular-season standings with seven races to go before The Chase begins.

Denny Hamlin Extends his Championship Lead With Third-Place Finish
Denny Hamlin was considered one of the top favorites to win the Eero 400 at Chicagoland Speedway, and he left the race with a third-place finish and an increased lead in the regular-season standings. Hamlin started the race from pole position and led most of his 30 total laps in the first stage, but he lost ground after being shuffled back on restarts following a few cautions and ended the stage in eighth, collecting three stage points. The No. 11 Toyota driver had his car improved during the second stage and ran as high as second, but still fell behind William Byron and Chase Briscoe for the stage win. Hamlin ended the stage in third, earning eight more stage points. In the final stage, Hamlin continued to run inside the top five through most of the stage and then ran other drivers down in the closing laps. Hamlin passed Alex Bowman and William Byron to make it to his eventual finishing position of third.

William Byron Finishes Fourth as the Top Chevrolet Driver at Chicagoland
Hendrick Motorsports driver William Byron finished as the top Chevrolet driver during Sunday's Eero 400 at Chicagoland Speedway. Byron started the race from 10th, but ended up becoming the most dominant driver of the race, leading 94 laps and sweeping the first two stages. He obtained the maximum number of stage points and continued to lead the race even through the third stage until the last round of green flag pit stops. Byron ended up pitting one lap after Chase Briscoe, which led to Briscoe passing Byron upon the completion of Byron's last stop. The No. 24 Chevrolet driver continued to run behind Briscoe until he was passed by Christopher Bell and Denny Hamlin in the closing laps, leaving him to finish in fourth. It is Byron's first top-5 finish of his Cup career at Chicagoland, and his 94 laps led are the highest in a single race this season.
