Is Rashee Rice Overvalued at Current ADP?
Entering 2026, Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice (knee) is one of the most difficult players to value in fantasy. On paper, the 26-year-old is a talented pass-catcher who also profiles as the number one option for Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. However, Rice has been unable to avoid off-field issues in recent seasons and could be facing a second league suspension in 2026 after being suspended for the first six games of 2025. Rice also has an extensive injury history at this point, as he's dealt with knee and concussion issues in his career and is currently recovering from knee surgery that he underwent in May. While Rice is expected to be healthy for the start of 2026, he is nearly impossible for fantasy managers to feel comfortable relying on. At his current average draft position of WR11 in redraft leagues, Rice may be a player for fantasy managers to avoid.

Ty Johnson Emerging as Worthy Stash Candidate with Elite Strikeout Potential
Tampa Bay Rays right-handed pitching prospect Ty Johnson has begun to showcase high-end strikeout potential at the Triple-A level and has put himself on the stash radar for those in deeper leagues. Over his last three contests (15 1/3 innings), Johnson has struck out at least nine hitters in each game. However, he has had varying levels of success in these three starts, surrendering six runs back on June 18, but has bounced back well, holding a 1.80 ERA over his last two games (10 innings). Overall, through 49 1/3 innings with Durham this season, the No. 18-ranked prospect in the system per MLB.com has carried a 2.74 ERA, 0.99 WHIP, and a 65:19 K:BB. While the emergence of Ian Seymour has blocked Johnson from an immediate promotion, he is worth following in deeper formats as he could find a role later in the season.

Charlie Condon Still a Priority Stash Ahead of Looming All-Star Break?
Colorado Rockies top prospect Charlie Condon has enjoyed an impressive power surge at Triple-A and continues to maintain elite stash upside ahead of the All-Star break. While the former George standout has not tallied a hit over his last four games, prior to this short skid, Condon was showing immense upside. Over the previous 21 contests, the 23-year-old launched 12 home runs while carrying a sharp .415/.500/1.012 slash line, adding three doubles and a 20:10 K:BB. Through his first 78 games at the top level in the Colorado system, the former No. 3 overall pick from the 2024 MLB Draft has carried a .286/.413/.585 line with a .998 OPS. Given his elite power upside, Condon remains a must-stash candidate in all 12-team leagues as he could be a league-winner down the stretch once he earns the call.

Ja'Tavion Sanders a Dynasty Buy-Low Candidate Entering 2026
A fourth-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, Carolina Panthers tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders has struggled to break through to fantasy-relevant production in the first two years of his NFL career. Sanders battled injury in 2025, missing time early in the year with an ankle sprain and then suffering a season-ending broken fibula in Week 17. He finished the year with 29 catches for 190 yards and one touchdown on 34 targets across 13 games. Still, Sanders should have an opportunity to emerge as a key piece of the Panthers' passing game in 2026. His primary competition for playing time in Carolina is veteran tight end Tommy Tremble, who excels as a blocker but has never reached 250 receiving yards in any of his five NFL seasons. In dynasty formats, Sanders could be a worthy buy-low target for managers searching for upside at the tight end position.

Grant Taylor a Must-Add Off the Waiver Wire?
Chicago White Sox right-hander Grant Taylor picked up his third save of the season on July 4 after Seranthony Dominguez fell apart the day before (July 3), allowing two earned runs on two walks over one-third of an inning. The two of them (Taylor and Domínguez) have been going back and forth of late, squandering their opportunities at every turn; however, since the calendar turned to July, Taylor has looked sharper and received more opportunities. Additionally, he has simply been better than Domínguez overall this season. Taylor has a 2.89 ERA, a 1.11 WHIP, and 65 strikeouts in 46 2/3 innings (35 games). Meanwhile, Dominguez has a 4.55 ERA, 1.39 WHIP, and a 39:20 K:BB ratio over 35 games, and has blown 5 saves on the season. Taylor is clearly the more dominant pitcher, and the only thing holding him back has been the White Sox committing to him, as they paid Dominguez in the off season to come in to be their closer, however, the White Sox currently sit atop the AL Central at 47-45, and are perhaps more competitive than they thoguht coming into the season, and are going to have to lean on guys that are performing (like Taylor) to finish up games for them. If the passing of the crown has truly taken place, this would make Taylor a must-add in all formats, as he would enter the top 15 at the position in the rankings.

Will Jonathon Long Play a Role for the Cubs in the Second Half?
Chicago Cubs first-base prospect Jonathon Long has shown significant upside at the Triple-A level and could play a role as the team looks to clinch a postseason spot down the stretch. Long is currently ranked MLB.com's No. 7 overall prospect. He spent the entire 2025 season at the Triple-A level, where he posted a solid .305/.404/.479 line with 23 doubles, 20 home runs and a 116:79 K:BB. While he got off to a slower start at the beginning of the 2026 season, he has since rounded into form. Over his last 29 contests with the top club, the first baseman has posted an elite .302/.388/.629 line with a 1.017 OPS, 14 doubles and eight home runs. Even though Michael Busch remains the primary first baseman, Long could find a role as a potential late-season DH or an injury replacement. His upside and recent surge make him a worthy candidate to continue monitoring in deeper leagues.

Is Joshua Baez Still the Top Stash Target Amid Triple-A Skid?
St. Louis Cardinals outfield prospect Joshua Baez has hit a brief skid at the Triple-A level but still remains an elite stash target in all formats. Over the last 10 games, the budding outfielder has taken a massive step back at Triple-A, posting a low .104/.154/.271 line with two doubles and two home runs. However, prior to this brief stint in the batter's box, the No. 48-ranked prospect in baseball according to MLB.com carried an impressive .347/.389/.891 line with an eye-catching six doubles, 15 home runs, and two stolen bases over his last 24 games. Overall this season, Baez has held his own at Triple-A, launching 28 home runs, stealing 14 bases, and posting a .900 OPS. While there is no clear path to at-bats in the St. Louis outfield, his five-category potential keeps him atop all stash lists ahead of the All-Star break.

Kyle Karros Performing Well for Rockies, Worth a Waiver-Wire Add?
Colorado Rockies third baseman Kyle Karros has been hitting well of late, slashing .308/.419/.692 with two home runs, six runs scored, five RBI, and three stolen bases over his last seven days, and has raised his average up to .260 on the season with eight home runs, 31 RBI, 46 runs scored, three stolen bases, and a .795 OPS. The 23-year-old infielder was a former fifth-round pick, and after 156 plate appearances in 2025, he is getting a chance at a full starter workload in 2026 with 310 plate appearances on the season. The underlying data supports his solid campaign, with a .256 xBA, .341 xwOBA, and .408 xSLG. He also demonstrates solid plate discipline, with his 12.9 percent walk rate (88th percentile), 21.3 percent strikeout rate (52nd percentile), and 24.5 percent chase rate (81st percentile). With the current state of the third base position, with Jose Ramirez (hand), Matt Chapman (abdominal), and players like Austin Riley significantly underperforming, Karros should be someone fantasy managers should take a look at on the waiver wire. He plays half his games at Coors Field, is hitting near the top of the Rockies lineup, and is not highly rostered in most formats.

Hannes Steinbach Leads Charlotte Bench Against Magic
Charlotte Hornets forward/center Hannes Steinbach registered 15 points, 11 rebounds, two assists, two blocks, and one steal across 22 minutes in Thursday's 86-74 Summer League win over the Orlando Magic. The No. 14 overall pick led Charlotte's bench and shot 4-for-7 from the field while going 4-for-4 at the free-throw line. Steinbach averaged 18.5 points, 11.8 rebounds, 1.2 blocks, and 1.1 steals at Washington last season, so the rebounding and defensive stats are the key fantasy signals. He still needs a steady regular-season role, but his activity gives him a useful category profile.

Kirby Yates Takes Fourth Loss, is he Falling Out of Angels Closer Committee?
Los Angeles Angels reliever Kirby Yates picked up his fourth loss of the season on Thursday, entering the contest with the game tied in the ninth inning and allowing two hits and one earned run in one-third of an inning. Yates now owns a solid 3.15 ERA and 1.00 WHIP on the season with two saves in four opportunities. Considering Yates has been sharp overall this season, and this was his first run allowed since June 8, he should remain the leader in the reliever room to pick up saves. Angels manager Kurt Suzuki appears to be committed to a closer for the most part, as evidenced by his selection of Jordan Romano as the closer earlier this season, even as Romano posted a 10.13 ERA in six save opportunities. At 39 years old, Yates may not be as sharp as he once was, but he appears to be the clear closer for the Angels at this time, as Ryan Zeferjahn appears to be his biggest competition, and he hasn't picked up a save since June 12, while Yates picked up his most recent save on June 27. The biggest downfall for Yates here is that the Angels have had only 27 save opportunities this season and are 37-57.

Keaton Wagler Held to Seven Points in Clippers Debut
Los Angeles Clippers guard Keaton Wagler finished with seven points, two rebounds, one assist, and one three-pointer in Thursday's 91-85 Summer League loss to the Sacramento Kings. The No. 5 overall pick had a rough first outing, shooting just 1-for-7 from the field while Sacramento's pressure kept him from finding much rhythm. Wagler's fantasy appeal is still tied to his shooting and playmaking after a strong freshman season at Illinois, but this was a reminder that efficiency and physicality could be early hurdles. He will look to respond Sunday against Utah.

Will Andrew Kittredge Continue to See Ninth-Inning Opportunities?
Baltimore Orioles 36-year-old right-hander Andrew Kittredge picked up the save in Thursday's win over the Cubs, allowing one hit in a scoreless ninth inning. The Orioles had multiple relievers work on Wednesday in a game that featured 16 combined runs, which is why Kittredge picked up the save. With Ryan Helsley (elbow) currently on the IL and seeking a second opinion on his right elbow, the Orioles have been turning to several relievers for saves. Kittredge has been decent this season, posting a 4.70 ERA and 1.35 WHIP with a 22:6 K:BB ratio over 23 innings. In addition to earning his second save of the season in four save opportunities, he also has four holds on the year. The Orioles relievers are hard to figure out: Tyler Wells was last week's flavor of the week after picking up back-to-back saves over the weekend, and with Helsley's return timeline up in the air, if anyone emerges from this pack as the closer, they will have immediate fantasy value. The Orioles have nine relievers with a save opportunity this season, and for fantasy managers to pick up Kittredge, we'll need to see more than one such opportunity.

Dylan Larkin Adds Fourth Team to Trade List
Detroit Red Wings center Dylan Larkin has expanded his list of acceptable trade destinations to four teams, MLive's Ansar Khan reports. His original list included the Florida Panthers, Minnesota Wild, and Vegas Golden Knights. It has now been revealed that the Red Wings captain would also accept a trade to the Dallas Stars. According to Khan, there have been discussions about a potential deal involving Wyatt Johnston and Jason Robertson. Larkin has five years remaining on his contract, which carries an average annual value of $8.7 million. The American star is seeking a fresh start after missing the playoffs in Detroit for 10 consecutive seasons.

Darryn Peterson Scores 24 Points in Jazz Loss
Utah Jazz guard Darryn Peterson finished with 24 points, three rebounds, three assists, and one block across 30 minutes in Thursday's 92-88 Summer League loss to the Washington Wizards. The No. 2 overall pick led Utah in scoring in a marquee matchup against No. 1 pick AJ Dybantsa, but the efficiency was shaky. Peterson shot 6-for-18 from the field and 2-for-7 from three-point range while also dealing with pressure from Washington's defense. The usage is already fantasy-friendly, but Peterson will need cleaner shooting and fewer empty possessions to match his early-season upside.

AJ Dybantsa Scores 27 Points in Summer League Debut
Washington Wizards guard/forward AJ Dybantsa supplied 27 points, seven rebounds, two assists, two steals, and one block across 26 minutes in Thursday's 92-88 Summer League win over the Utah Jazz. The No. 1 overall pick led all scorers in a matchup with No. 2 pick Darryn Peterson, and 19 of his points came in the first half. Dybantsa struggled from three-point range, going 0-for-5, but he attacked the paint and went 7-for-8 at the free-throw line. The scoring, rebounds, and defensive stats give him an immediate fantasy-friendly profile if Washington lets him handle a major role early.

Diamondbacks to Recall Ryan Waldschmidt, a Must-Add in All Formats?
The Arizona Diamondbacks are recalling their No. 1-ranked prospect, Ryan Waldschmidt, back up to the majors, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports. Waldschmidt struggled in his first stint with the Diamondbacks, hitting .259 with a .671 OPS, 11 runs, eight RBI, five stolen bases, and no home runs. Additionally, he was outperforming his underlying data, as he wasn't impacting the ball particularly well (an 86.8 average exit velocity) and was striking out at a 33.7 percent clip, which was significantly higher than his rate in the Minors. In triple-A this season, he is slashing .288/.405/.492 with six home runs, 43 runs scored, 29 RBI, and six stolen bases. Waldschmidt profiles as a five-category contributor with good contact and power skills, but he was not able to showcase that his first time around in the Majors. In July, Waldschmidt slashed .174/.321/.161 in the Minors, so his promotion is more out of necessity, with Pavin Smith being DFA'd, than out of him tearing the cover off the ball in Triple-A. Because of Waldschmidt's prospect pedigree, he is a strong add in deeper five outfield leagues, but based on his production with the Diamondbacks the first time around, he is not a must-add, more so a strong add.

Frederik Andersen Confident of Being Healthy for Start of Season
Edmonton Oilers goaltender Frederik Andersen (knee) is confident he will be available at the start of the season. Speaking to reporters at his introductory media conference, Andersen said he sustained a knee injury during the 2026 Stanley Cup Finals. "I did some medicals and I was assured that I just needed some time to rest," Andersen said of his knee. "No intervention, surgery or anything was said to be necessary, so that's very reassuring." After winning the Stanley Cup with the Carolina Hurricanes, Andersen signed a one-year, $1 million contract with the Edmonton Oilers as a free agent. He will be part of a three-man rotation in the crease alongside Tristan Jarry and Devon Levi. All three netminders will see their fantasy value decline because of this situation.

Morez Johnson Jr. Leads Mavericks With 27 Points
Dallas Mavericks forward/center Morez Johnson Jr. recorded 27 points, eight rebounds, three assists, three steals, and two blocks across 26 minutes in Thursday's 101-90 Summer League loss to the Golden State Warriors. The ninth pick went 12-for-17 from the field, providing excellent multi-category production in his Las Vegas debut. Johnson averaged 13.1 points, 7.3 rebounds, 1.1 blocks, and 0.7 steals at Michigan last season, demonstrating that his defensive instincts translate cleanly to the professional level. Although his outside jumper still needs development, his high motor gives him a useful lane to category value. With that in mind, he faces a crowded veteran depth chart featuring P.J. Washington and Daniel Gafford. Fantasy managers should treat him as a watch-list option until consistent rotation minutes emerge under new head coach Dusty May.

Lendeborg has carried his strong California Classic play into Las Vegas, and the fantasy appeal is clear. His mix of rebounding, passing, and shooting gives him category upside, but regular-season value will depend on how quickly the Warriors trust him with rotation minutes.

Ducks Match Flyers' Offer Sheet for Leo Carlsson
Anaheim Ducks center Leo Carlsson will remain with the team after the club matched the Philadelphia Flyers' eye-popping offer sheet, ESPN's Kristen Shilton reports. After Carlsson finished his entry-level contract, the Flyers signed him to a five-year, $90 million deal. This contract makes Carlsson the highest-paid player in the NHL. He will have an $18 million cap hit, surpassing Kirill Kaprizov's new deal, which will take effect next season, by $1 million. "It's going to be a special feeling, having this pressure," Carlsson said. "I always wanted to be a Duck. It's my home, too. I'm just super excited to be back." Last season, Carlsson narrowly missed out on being a point-per-game player, finishing with 29 goals and 38 assists in 70 appearances. Questions will arise if he cannot increase his production in the 2026-27 season.

Baba Miller Signs Four-Year, $9.61 Million Deal With Clippers
Los Angeles Clippers forward Baba Miller signed a four-year, $9.61 million deal that includes two guaranteed seasons, according to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype. Scotto noted it is the highest total value for any second-round pick in the 2026 NBA Draft so far. The 36th pick averaged 13.0 points, 10.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists, and 1.2 blocks in 31.9 minutes at Cincinnati, giving him a fantasy-friendly mix for a 6-foot-11 forward. His jumper remains the swing skill after he shot 19.2 percent from deep, so his early fantasy value depends on whether his rebounding, passing, and defense can earn him rotation minutes behind established forwards like Brandon Ingram and Rui Hachimura.

Jesus Luzardo Keeps Rolling, Shuts Down Reds on Thursday
Philadelphia Phillies left-hander Jesus Luzardo is on a strong run, and that continued as he shut down the Cincinnati Reds on the road on Thursday in a 1-0 victory. Luzardo threw seven shutout innings, allowing just two hits, walking two, and striking out 11 to win his eighth game of the 2026 season. The 28-year-old southpaw from Peru has had some uneven performances this year for sure, but he has also allowed two or fewer runs in 13 of his 19 starts in his second year in Philly. He will take an 8-4 record, 3.52 ERA, and 136:35 K:BB in 110 1/3 innings into next week's All-Star break after posting his fourth start of the season with double-digit strikeouts. Since allowing five earned runs in six innings in a no-decision against the Chicago White Sox on June 5, Luzardo has given up only six earned runs while walking 14 and striking out 56 in 37 1/3 innings pitched in six starts versus the Reds, Toronto Blue Jays, Miami Marlins, Washington Nationals, New York Mets, and Kansas City Royals. He's rolling going into the break, and fantasy managers can only hope he keeps this form to begin the second half later this month.

Gavin Williams Strikes Out 11 to Win his 10th Game
Cleveland Guardians right-hander Gavin Williams was dominant on Thursday to pick up his 10th win of the season in the team's 5-2 victory over the division-rival Minnesota Twins at Target Field. Williams allowed just two earned runs on three hits (one home run) while walking one and striking out 11 in seven innings of work. It was the 26-year-old's fourth outing this year with double-digit strikeouts and his sixth start with at least seven innings pitched. He will head into next week's All-Star break with a nice 3.81 ERA, 1.15 WHIP, and 134:37 K:BB in 113 1/3 innings pitched. Since allowing a season-high seven earned runs in five innings in a loss to the Milwaukee Brewers on June 17, Williams has allowed nine earned runs with 31 strikeouts and seven walks in 21 1/3 innings pitched against the Twins, Seattle Mariners, and the Chicago White Sox twice. The former 23rd overall pick in 2021 from East Carolina University is sporting a career-best 28.3% strikeout rate in 2026 and has lowered his walk rate from a career-high 11.8% last year to a career-low 8.3% this season.

Ben Rice Getting Back on Track, Clubs Two Homers on Thursday
New York Yankees catcher/first baseman Ben Rice is heating up once again as we near the end of the first half of the 2026 season. In Thursday's 12-4 win over the division-rival Tampa Bay Rays at Tropicana Field, Rice went 2-for-4 at the plate with two home runs, a season-high five RBI, three runs scored, a walk, and a strikeout as the team's designated hitter. The 27-year-old left-handed slugger delivered his first multi-homer game of the year and the fourth of his career. Rice hit under the Mendoza Line in June, but he already has five home runs and 11 RBI in his 29 at-bats so far in July to raise his season slash line to .275/.366/.590. Rice has added 28 home runs, 65 RBI, and 63 runs scored in his 377 plate appearances in just his second full season in the Bronx. He has proven his breakout in 2025 was no fluke, setting a new career high in long balls in the first half of the season after hitting 26 homers and driving in 65 runs in 138 regular-season games in 2025. Under the hood, Rice ranks in the 79th percentile in hard-hit rate, the 90th percentile in barrel rate, the 91st percentile in xwOBA, and the 88th percentile in xOBP, backing surface stats.

Shota Imanaga is Prime Sell-High Candidate
Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Shota Imanaga has been putting together quality numbers on the mound over the last month or so. Over the last five outings, Imanaga has allowed two earned runs or less in four of those starts. The southpaw struck out eight batters during his most recent outing against the St. Louis Cardinals. The biggest problem for Imanaga has been keeping the ball in the park. Across 18 starts, Imanaga has allowed 21 long balls this season. The 32-year-old has pitched well against some lackluster lineups, but could see his stats take a dip in the second half. Fantasy managers should take advantage of his recent stretch and trade him during the All-Star break.

Overall, Lopez owns a 7.04 ERA, 1.84 WHIP, and a 42/32 K/BB ratio across 13 games (10 starts) with the A's this season. Lopez has been knocked around during each of his last two starts, so fantasy managers shouldn't bother trusting him here.

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Robbie Ray has been putting together a handful of strong outings on the mound. Most recently, Ray tossed six innings, allowing three runs, while striking out four batters in the win over the Colorado Rockies. Before that outing, Ray had thrown three straight scoreless outings. It has been an impressive run for Ray, but we know that he'll come back down to Earth at some point. The walks are still a problem as Ray has issued 46 free passes across 101.2 innings of work this season. Fantasy managers might be able to take advantage of the moment and sell-high on Ray during the All-Star break. He has pitched well enough lately that fantasy managers in need of pitching should be willing to take a chance on him.

Sal Frelick Could be a Sneaky Deep-League Option
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Sal Frelick is having a down year at the plate, but fantasy managers shouldn't write him off yet. Across 86 games, Frelick is slashing .236/.304/.323 with three home runs, 31 RBI, and six steals. His overall numbers aren't pretty, but Frelick has been able to limit his strikeouts with only 28 in his 300 plate appearances. He continues to put the ball in play, but isn't having the best of luck at the moment. Frelick has posted back-to-back strong campaigns, so a rebound in the second half seems possible. The 26-year-old should continue getting regular playing time in the Brewers outfield. Fantasy managers in deep leagues should consider buying low on Frelick during the All-Star break.

Jacoby Brissett Works Out With Teammates Amid Contract Dispute
Arizona Cardinals veteran quarterback Jacoby Brissett hasn't taken part in organized team workouts this offseason as he works through a contract dispute with the organization, but that hasn't stopped him from working out with some of his teammates in a private setting, according to Tyler Drake of Arizona Sports. Brissett posted on his Instagram recently after a workout with receivers Marvin Harrison Jr. and Simi Fehoko, tight ends Trey McBride and Elijah Higgins, and quarterback Kedon Slovis. Despite the uncertainty about Brissett's contract situation, he's expected to be Arizona's Week 1 starter under center in new head coach Mike LaFleur's offense in early September. The 33-year-old had a career year in 2025 in his 10th year in the league after taking over for the injured Kyler Murray, throwing for 3,366 yards, 23 touchdowns, and eight interceptions in a pass-happy offense. He established great chemistry with McBride and receiver Michael Wilson, but pass-game volume is expected to fall under LaFleur in 2026. And if Brissett struggles, there could be pressure to give rookie Carson Beck a look. Coming off a career year with regression expected, Brissett should go undrafted in single-QB, 12-team fantasy leagues. RotoBaller has Brissett ranked as the QB27 going into the 2026 campaign.

Christian Yelich is a Sell-High Candidate
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich is not having a very successful year at the plate. Fantasy managers were hopeful Yelich would continue to succeed after blasting 29 home runs a year ago. Instead, it appears that time is finally catching up to the 34-year-old veteran outfielder. Through 56 games, Yelich is slashing .242/.326/.381 with six home runs, 31 RBI, and six steals. Despite his struggles at the plate, Yelich remains rostered in 89% of Yahoo leagues coming into Thursday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. The Brewers have been cautious with Yelich by giving him plenty of rest days and action at designated hitter. Yelich has been able to stay on the field, but it's not helping him at the plate. Fantasy managers should attempt to sell-high on Yelich at the deadline and try to score something to help their team down the stretch of the season. Yelich has enough name value that fantasy managers should be able to move him for something of value.
