Brian Harman has been steady, though somewhat lackluster, this season, recording five top-25 finishes while missing just three cuts in 17 events. He now turns to the Scottish Open, where he has recorded a missed cut, T12, T21, and T50 in four previous appearances. Harman ranks 93rd in strokes gained tee to green (-0.043 per round), 124th off the tee (-0.249), 67th on approach (+0.141), and 87th in total driving, all important stats this week. Where he creates some intrigue is with his precision, ranking 29th in driving accuracy and 43rd in proximity from over 200 yards, a distance that accounted for more than 36% of approach shots at The Renaissance Club last year. At $7,300 on DraftKings, Harman carries some upside, but he profiles as more of a gamble than a safe DFS option.--Dakota Legg - RotoBaller

Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard was one of the biggest surprises in fantasy in 2024, racking up 1,366 yards and 11 touchdowns in a season that would earn him a four-year, $33 million extension with the team. Injuries and inconsistency derailed his 2025 campaign, and he finished the year as the clear backup to Rico Dowdle, handling double-digit carries only one time after Week 8. With Dowdle departing in free agency and the Panthers making no significant additions to the position, Hubbard potentially faces a training camp battle with 2024 second-round pick Jonathon Brooks. Reports out of the non-padded setting of minicamp praised Brooks for the explosiveness he's recaptured since an ACL tear ended his rookie season, but it's important to remember the injury was the second of its kind in 13 months, sandwiched around only nine professional carries. It's extremely unlikely that Brooks would step fully into Dowdle's vacated role and inherit the bulk of his 282 opportunities from a season ago. With Hubbard now also nearly ten months removed from the calf injury that landed him on injured reserve and reportedly tested his confidence upon his return, a split backfield in Carolina could lead to one of the league's more ambiguous situations and depressed ADPs for both players. Neither Hubbard nor Brooks is currently being drafted within the top 30 of the position, and with Dave Canales producing a top 16 fantasy back in each of his three seasons calling plays for Carolina and Tampa Bay, the opportunity is there for one or both to return difference-making value in 2026.--Patrick McGrath

New Orleans Pelicans center Hunter Dickinson re-signed with the team on a two-way contract, according to Paul Garcia of The Spot Up Shot. The 25-year-old appeared in only five NBA games last season, averaging 2.4 points, 1.0 rebounds, and 0.4 assists. He was far more productive in the G League, where he posted 17.6 points, 11.0 rebounds, and 3.3 assists per game. This two-way deal keeps him in New Orleans' developmental pipeline, but his fantasy ceiling is virtually non-existent. With Derik Queen, Yves Missi, and Karlo Matkovic firmly ahead of him on the depth chart, Dickinson will likely spend most of his time with the Birmingham Squadron. He remains completely off the fantasy radar unless multiple injuries decimate the Pelicans' frontcourt.--Brian Dailisan

Buffalo Sabres center David Kampf has signed a three-year deal with HC Litvínov in the Czech Extraliga. He will return to his home country after nine seasons in the NHL. Kampf split the 2025-26 campaign between the Vancouver Canucks and Washington Capitals. He couldn't establish himself on either squad, tallying only six points (two goals, four assists) in 40 games. In June, Washington traded his rights to the Buffalo Sabres as part of the Alex Tuch deal. Kampf also played for the Chicago Blackhawks and Toronto Maple Leafs in the NHL, scoring 50 goals and 149 points in 576 career games. Given his age -- Kampf turned 31 in January -- it appears unlikely that he will return to North America.--Taavi Pailk

Toronto Blue Jays infielder Sean Keys has struggled to find consistent production in limited opportunities during his first MLB season, but his underlying power metrics suggest significant upside. The 24-year-old is slashing .207/.207/.345 with a .552 OPS across eight games while carrying a 37.9 K%. Despite the early struggles, Keys has displayed elite contact quality with a 93.1 mph average exit velocity and a 61.1 Hard-Hit% that both rank among the best in the league. His ability to consistently drive the ball with authority gives him a strong foundation for future success. If Keys can improve his contact rate against major league pitching, he could develop into a valuable power option. Fantasy managers should view him as a buy-low stash with long-term upside.--Julian Brooke

After missing three straight cuts, Nicolai Hojgaard bounced back nicely at the Travelers Championship, recording a T14 finish, his eighth top-25 result of the season. He now turns to the Scottish Open, where he has recorded two top-10 finishes in four previous appearances. Hojgaard ranks 20th in strokes gained tee to green (+0.735 per round), 42nd off the tee (+0.244), 28th on approach (+0.370), and fourth in driving distance, all key stats at the Renaissance Club. He also ranks 14th in proximity from over 200 yards, a distance that accounted for more than 36% of approach shots here last year. At $8,000 on DraftKings, Hojgaard looks to be slightly underpriced and models as a great option for DFS lineups.--Dakota Legg - RotoBaller

Free-agent forward Jonathan Kuminga remains a top target for the Los Angeles Lakers, according to ESPN's Anthony Slater. The 23-year-old hit the open market after Atlanta declined his $24.3 million team option following a season split between the Warriors and Hawks, where he averaged 12.2 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 2.3 assists across 36 games. A potential sign-and-trade to Los Angeles would create a highly favorable fantasy environment. With LeBron James and Rui Hachimura departing this summer, the Lakers desperately need athletic scoring on the wing. Kuminga would immediately step into heavy minutes alongside Luka Doncic, whose elite playmaking could easily fuel a career year. While his lack of blocked shots and steals keeps his ceiling in check, securing a featured role in coach JJ Redick's offense would make him a reliable source of points and rebounds.--Brian Dailisan

New Orleans Saints veteran Juwan Johnson was a top-10 fantasy tight end in 2025, and he heads into his seventh season as one of the more undervalued players at the position. He likely faces significantly stiffer target competition with the Saints spending the eighth overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft on dynamic wide receiver Jordyn Tyson, but in Kellen Moore's up-tempo offense, there should be no shortage of volume to go around. With second-year quarterback Tyler Shough preparing for his first full year as a starter, the Saints could see an increase to their 34.8 pass attempts per game from a season ago. After taking over as starter in Week 9, Shough faced an expected ramp-up period, but following the team's Week 11 bye, the rookie threw the fourth most passes in the league, and only Trey McBride and Kyle Pitts topped Johnson's 34 catches or 398 yards from the tight end spot. The Saints also spent a third-round pick on tight end Oscar Delp, but as more of a traits-based prospect who never reached 25 receptions or 285 yards across his four seasons at Georgia, he could take time to develop at the next level, and Johnson should remain entrenched at the top of the depth chart for 2026. Currently being drafted as the TE17, Johnson should again see enough volume to greatly exceed ADP, and if he can improve upon his three touchdown grabs from a year ago, he could ultimately prove to be one of the best values at the position.--Patrick McGrath

Chicago White Sox outfielder Tristan Peters continues to impress during his first season with the club, emerging as an intriguing waiver wire target in fantasy leagues. The 25-year-old is slashing .291/.347/.451 with a .798 OPS and five home runs across 86 games. He has been even better recently, hitting .314 with a .510 slugging percentage over his last 15 games while earning everyday playing time for the surging White Sox. Peters has provided consistent production at the plate and continues to create value with his all-around game. His 98th percentile fielding range should help keep him in the lineup on a regular basis. Fantasy managers looking for a productive outfielder should consider adding Peters before his roster percentage climbs.--Julian Brooke

Ottawa Senators forward Claude Giroux agreed to a one-year, $2 million contract on Tuesday. After being linked to a return to Philadelphia, where Giroux spent the first 15 years of his NHL career, the veteran forward opted to stay with the Senators for a fifth campaign. His new contract could reach $5 million with bonuses. Although Giroux's production has steadily declined, he made a positive impact in 2025-26. Across 82 games, Giroux posted 49 points (14 goals, 35 assists) and led all Senators forwards with a plus-20 rating. He still looks capable of producing a 50-point year, despite approaching his 39th birthday.--Taavi Pailk

English ranks 77th in strokes gained tee to green (+0.108 per round), 37th off the tee (+0.275), 118th on approach (-0.210), and 27th in total driving. Where he continues to separate himself is on the greens. English ranks sixth on Tour in strokes gained putting (+0.581 per round) and has lost strokes with the putter in just three events all season.

Houston Rockets guard Bruce Thornton signed a four-year, $9.3 million deal that includes one fully guaranteed season, according to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype. The No. 31 pick in the 2026 NBA Draft provides Houston with another sturdy backcourt option after a decorated four-year run at Ohio State. Thornton averaged 19.9 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 3.9 assists as a senior while shooting 55.4 percent from the field and 40.0 percent from the three-point range. Although he was an elite collegiate scorer, his immediate path to playing time is firmly blocked. With Fred VanVleet returning to a crowded depth chart that also features rising guard Reed Sheppard, Thornton will likely have to fight to secure consistent reserve minutes.--Brian Dailisan

Minnesota Twins outfield prospect Walker Jenkins recently returned from the injured list and has hit the ground running. The Twins' top-ranked prospect had been dealing with a sprained AC joint in his shoulder, but has quickly returned to form for Triple-A St. Paul, going 11-for-35 (.314) in the nine games since his return, including two doubles, two triples, a home run, and two stolen bases. For the season, the former fifth-overall draft pick is slashing .272/.385/.440 with three home runs, seven steals, and nearly as many walks (21) as strikeouts (23) in 34 games for the Saints. The talent is there, but injuries have limited him over the past few years and slowed his progression to the majors. However, if he can remain healthy, the 21-year-old should be in a position to make his big league debut sometime after the All-Star break, and he has the tools to be a multi-category producer, so fantasy managers in deeper 12-team leagues should consider stashing the 6-foot-3 slugger ahead of time.--Jarod Rupp

Calgary Flames defenseman Simon Nemec has signed a five-year, $36.25 million contract with the team as a restricted free agent. Calgary acquired Nemec from the New Jersey Devils on June 23. Nemec, a former second-overall pick, notched a career-high 26 points (11 goals, 15 assists) in 68 games last season. His work included 101 SOG and 104 blocks. While Nemec didn't stand out in New Jersey, he is expected to have a larger role with his new squad, which should boost his fantasy profile. He won't be 23 until February, so the Slovak native has plenty of time to grow as a player.--Taavi Pailk

Washington Wizards center Felix Okpara has agreed to a two-way contract, according to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype. The Orlando Magic originally selected him with the 46th pick in the 2026 NBA Draft before dealing him to Washington on draft night. The 22-year-old averaged 8.0 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks while shooting 59.7 percent from the field last season, earning SEC All-Defensive Team honors at Tennessee. Although his elite rim protection stands out, this two-way designation confirms he is headed for a developmental year in the G League. Okpara opens his rookie campaign buried on the depth chart behind Anthony Davis, Alexandre Sarr, and Tristan Vukcevic. Unless the Wizards endure a severe string of frontcourt injuries, the rookie lacks the immediate opportunity to supply reliable blocked shots or rebounding.--Brian Dailisan

Los Angeles Chargers running back Kimani Vidal led the team in rushing in 2025 and, with very little fanfare, turned in four different performances as the RB8 or better. While the 2024 sixth-round pick was obviously not the first plan in Jim Harbaugh's offense, veteran acquisition Najee Harris and first-round pick Omarion Hampton both succumbed to serious injuries that thrust Vidal into a starting role in which he handled himself admirably. In seven games in 2025, Vidal saw at least 10 carries, and despite playing behind an injury-ravaged offensive line that has been panned as one of the league's worst units, he averaged more than 80 rushing yards in such contests, scoring three touchdowns on the ground and a fourth through the air. While free agent acquisition Keaton Mitchell has rightfully been spotlighted as a natural fit in new coordinator Mike McDaniel's speed-based offense, at only 5'8" and 191 pounds, with a history of significant injuries, he is unlikely to see a substantial uptick in carries should presumed bell cow Hampton again miss extended time. In such a scenario, it would likely be Vidal who handles the bulk of the early-down work, and in what projects to be one of the league's most improved offenses, that could easily translate to continued fantasy success. Vidal is RotoBaller's dynasty RB63, and in deeper redraft leagues, he's worth a look at the end of drafts as one of the more valuable insurance backs in the league.--Patrick McGrath

The only concern could be with the flat stick, where he is losing a marginal -0.065 strokes per round.

New York Yankees infield prospect George Lombard Jr. (finger) was placed on the 7-day injured list for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre back on June 18 and has yet to return to the field. Despite the injury, the Yankees' top-ranked prospect was nominated to the AL All-Star Futures Team after starting the season at Double-A and earning a promotion to Triple-A at the end of April. The former first-round draft pick had begun to find his footing at that level just before the injury, riding a nine-game hit streak before that, during which time he went 12-for-34 (.353) with seven doubles, two home runs, and two steals. Not only that, but he also saw his strikeout rate hold steady after the jump to Triple-A (21.1 percent to 21.3 percent) and the 21-year-old's walk rate actually jumped higher (13.3 percent to 17.8 percent). If he can return shortly after the All-Star break and get rolling again, there's a good chance the 6-foot-2 slugger will be summoned for his major league debut later in the second half, and with some fantasy-friendly tools, he makes for a worthwhile stash in deeper 12-team leagues.--Jarod Rupp

Veteran running back Joe Mixon (foot) last saw the field in a 2024 Divisional Round loss in which he registered exactly 100 yards on 20 touches and added a touchdown to conclude what had been a successful first season with the Houston Texans. While nobody knew it at the time, that very well could have been his last professional game. Mixon's entire 2025 season was lost to a mysterious foot and ankle injury sustained early in the offseason and barely clarified at any point thereafter. He was released before the start of the 2026 league year with a non-football injury designation, and although he has expressed interest in continuing his career, the soon-to-be-30-year-old back remains unsigned. A training camp or in-season injury could certainly send Mixon's name back into the rumor mill, but he is not a player who should factor into 2026 draft plans, and at RotoBaller's dynasty RB73, he is no longer a player who needs to be rostered.--Patrick McGrath

Harris struggled in June, posting a 6.30 ERA, but he has consistently shown the ability to bounce back from difficult stretches. His underlying metrics remain encouraging, highlighted by a .188 expected batting average that ranks in the 95th percentile across Major League Baseball.

For Atlanta Falcons running back Brian Robinson Jr., 2025 marked the first time in his four-year career that he was able to suit up for all 17 games, but it was in a seldom-used change-of-pace role behind Christian McCaffrey in San Francisco. In one of the stranger careers in recent history, Robinson has yet to top the 205 carries of his rookie season despite playing in only 12 games that year after being shot twice during an attempted robbery and carjacking. Clearly playing at less than full strength, he has since seen better efficiency in each subsequent season, but has never been given a full workload, first ceding carries to veterans Antonio Gibson and Austin Ekeler in Washington before landing as McCaffrey's primary backup in a year when the then-29-year-old led the league in touches. In signing a one-year deal with the Falcons, he finds himself backing up another bell cow running back in Bijan Robinson, who has not missed a game in his three-year career. While the incumbent Robinson has spent enough time split out wide to allow for his previous backup, Tyler Allgeier, to regularly see the field and maintain fantasy relevance, a new coaching regime in Atlanta could turn the backfield over to him entirely. Still, for the second year in a row, Robinson Jr. comes into the season as one of the NFL's most valuable insurance backs, draftable in 2026 leagues for that reason alone, while any standalone value he's able to provide in a new home and a new system should be seen as a bonus. He is currently RotoBaller's RB47.--Patrick McGrath

Romano earned his second save with Colorado on Tuesday, tossing a scoreless inning while allowing one hit and one walk with one strikeout. He has yet to allow a run in three appearances for the Rockies, giving fantasy managers reason for optimism despite his poor overall season numbers. Romano's 30.9 K% is his highest mark in the last five seasons and sits well above league average, showing his swing-and-miss stuff remains intact. If he continues to build momentum, Romano has a strong chance to secure the ninth-inning role and become a worthwhile waiver wire addition for fantasy managers seeking saves.--Julian Brooke

It was an electric final round at the John Deere Classic, as Chris Gotterup posted a 62 to win by a single shot. It was his third victory of the season, and it should invoke a great wave of momentum heading back to the Renaissance Club to defend his title from last year. Comparatively, the statistical breakdown between his most recent win and his Scottish Open victory in 2025 is very similar: annihilate the field off the tee and make a ton of putts. Those hoping his winning ways follow him across the pond should have one real concern. Mother Nature has a way of sorting things out from time to time, and Gotterup may not be the best option if things turn into a grindy affair. If there is any reliance on the short game outside of taking advantage of the three par-5s, Gotterup's 85th-ranked strokes gained around the green metrics may lower the ceiling too much for him to be worth DFS consideration.

Up first is a date with the Renaissance Club, where the 30-year-old has already secured top-15, top-10, and top-5 finishes in four career events. It remains to be seen whether his week in Connecticut will open the floodgates down the stretch of the year, but no one would be surprised if it did. Scheffler is still the leading ball striker on tour from top to bottom, and has no problem matching the playstyle asked by Mother Nature and the golf course.

In his second straight outing, Minnesota Twins right-hander Taj Bradley reached double-digit strikeouts on Tuesday evening in the Twins' 3-1 win over the division-rival Cleveland Guardians at Target Field. Bradley was very impressive in picking up his eighth win of the year, allowing only an earned run on three hits (one homer) while walking none and striking out 10 in seven innings of work. The 25-year-old former fifth-rounder in 2018 by the Tampa Bay Rays now has 21 strikeouts and three walks while giving up two earned runs in 12 innings in his last two starts against the Guardians and Houston Astros. The only run that Bradley allowed came in the form of a solo homer off the bat of Rhys Hoskins in the second inning. Bradley induced 25 swings and misses on the night, and he now has three double-digit strikeout performances in 2026. He has a 2.25 ERA with 32 punchouts and eight walks in 24 innings with three wins in his last four outings. Bradley will have a tough test to kick off the second half with a matchup against the Chicago Cubs, but his strikeout upside clearly warrants more interest off the waiver wire in fantasy baseball leagues.

Kansas City Royals shorstop/outfielder Tyler Tolbert became just the fifth player in MLB history to record hits in 12 consecutive at-bats on Tuesday in the team's wild 16-12 victory over the New York Mets at Citi Field. For the second straight day, Tolbert recorded five hits while also driving in two and scoring four runs to boost his season batting average to .396 and his OPS to .976. The 28-year-old former 13th-round selection in 2019 out of the University of Alabama at Birmingham hit his second home run of the year on Tuesday night after failing to clear the fences in 49 games between Triple-A Omaha and the Royals this season. Tolbert added his 10th stolen base of the season on Tuesday night. In his rookie campaign in 2025, Tolbert hit .280/.321/.380 with a .701 OPS, one homer, six RBI, 21 stolen bases, and 19 runs scored. Fantasy managers definitely shouldn't read too much into his impressive hit streak over the last couple of days, but he could be a decent source of speed in AL-only leagues if he sticks around with the Royals going into the second half of the season. Tolbert is rostered in just 2% of Yahoo leagues.--Keith Hernandez
