Collin Morikawa Could Be a Risky Play at the BMW Championship
Collin Morikawa could not find his stride at the FedEx St. Jude Championship, losing strokes off the tee and with the putter on his way to a T52 finish. He now looks to bounce back at the BMW Championship, where he has never finished better than T20 in seven appearances. This year's event at Bellerive Golf Course will reward driving distance and strong long iron play. Morikawa ranks 30th off the tee (+0.332 strokes per round) and first on Tour in approach (+0.822), but sits just 94th in driving distance and 91st in proximity from 200+ yards (50'9"). Morikawa had also found something with the putter, gaining strokes in five straight events before losing 4.1 last week. With his poor event history and lack of distance, Morikawa's upside may be limited this week.

Woody Marks Runs the Majority of Routes in Joint Practice
Houston Texans running back Woody Marks was one of the most prolific pass-catching backs in college football history, racking up more than 245 receptions across his time at Mississippi State and USC. As a rookie in 2025, he caught only 24 passes, as injuries at the position forced him into more of a between-the-tackles role. The addition of veteran David Montgomery via trade should allow Marks to slip back into a more natural receiving capacity in 2026, and during Tuesday's joint practice with the Raiders, it was the second-year back who ran the majority of routes out of the backfield. Dating back to his final season with the Bears, Montgomery has topped 35 receptions only once in the past four seasons, leaving ample opportunity for Marks to carve out a well-defined role as the Texans' second back. With the safe floor provided by his receiving work, Marks has the potential to work his way into the weekly flex conversation, while his built-in insurance upside makes him an even more attractive late-round option as RotoBaller's RB47.

OG Anunoby Sets Sights on Knicks Title Defense
New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby is already locked in on a title defense after the franchise's first championship since 1973. In an interview with Fadeaway World, Anunoby said winning another title is "everyone's goal" and framed his offseason around steady individual growth. He also brushed off Philadelphia's additions of LeBron James and Jaylen Brown, saying loaded East rosters are nothing new. Anunoby's fantasy appeal comes from continuity. He returns to a locked-in starting role under Mike Brown after averaging 16.7 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 2.3 threes, 1.6 steals, and 0.7 blocks across 67 games. That across-the-board production keeps him among the steadier wing options in fantasy.

Cameron Young Looking to Bounce Back at BMW Championship
Cameron Young struggled to get much going at the FedEx St. Jude Championship, losing strokes to the field and finishing T39. He now looks to bounce back at a course that should fit his strengths better at Bellerive Golf Course. Players who are long off the tee and strong with their long irons should find success, two areas where Young excels. He ranks 13th off the tee (+0.550 strokes per round), 21st on approach (+0.451), 17th in driving distance, and eighth in proximity from 200+ yards (45'8"). The big concern remains his putting, where he has lost strokes in five of his last seven events, including more than 8.2 strokes over his last two starts. At $9,400 on DraftKings, Young should be popular and offers plenty of upside if the putter cooperates.

Seaver King Extends Hit Streak to Nine Games at Triple-A
Washington Nationals infield prospect Seaver King went 1-for-5 on Tuesday at Triple-A Rochester, extending his hit streak to nine games, with his lone hit being a home run, which gives the Nats' fourth-ranked prospect a round-tripper in three of his last four contests. During the nine-game hit streak, the former first-rounder is 16-for-37 (.432) with two doubles, five home runs, and a pair of stolen bases. It brings his season slash line at Triple-A to .298/.372/.513 with 10 home runs and six steals in 48 games for the Red Wings. While it has been an impressive stretch, it was reported last week that the organization does not expect to promote the youngster to the majors in 2026, even despite moving incumbent CJ Abrams to second base. As such, there is no need to stash the 23-year-old in redraft leagues, though his dynasty arrow is still pointing up.

Texans Keeping David Montgomery Fresh Through Limited Touches
Throughout much of training camp, Houston Texans running back David Montgomery has had his workload managed, with the coaching staff aiming to keep him fresh for the regular season. During Tuesday's joint practice with the Raiders, however, he provided a reminder of what he can do when unleashed, with Texans analyst John Harris calling him the story of the day. Montgomery impressed with his combination of physicality and burst, taking a number of carries through the teeth of the Raiders' defense. In what was one of Montgomery's most active days of camp, it was still second-year running back Woody Marks who saw the majority of passing work, perhaps offering an indication of how offensive coordinator Nick Caley intends to deploy his backs in the regular season. Montgomery has topped 35 receptions only once in the past four seasons, averaging 27.5 catches per year over that span, but with an expectation to see most of the Texans' high-value red zone carries, he still offers spike week potential from the middle rounds of 2026 drafts, making RotoBaller's RB21 an attractive option as a second running back or flex play.

Davis Warren Officially Named Stanford's Starting Quarterback
Stanford head coach Tavita Pritchard officially named Davis Warren the team's starting quarterback on Tuesday, according to On3. The California native is entering his sixth year of college football after spending the last five seasons at Michigan. In nine games in 2024, Warren completed 64.1% of his passes for 1,199 yards, seven touchdowns, and nine interceptions. He was expected to win the Stanford QB1 job all offseason, but the decision has now been made official. The Cardinal open the season on August 29 in a Week 0 meeting against Hawaii.

TyTy Washington Jr. Nears EuroLeague Move to ASVEL
Guard TyTy Washington Jr. is in advanced talks with ASVEL Villeurbanne, according to BasketNews. The 2022 first-round pick has struggled to carve out a steady NBA role, averaging 2.9 points and 1.1 assists in 9.4 minutes across 74 games with the Rockets, Bucks, Suns and Clippers. His stronger production has come in the G-League, where he averaged 19.5 points, 5.7 assists and 4.9 rebounds while shooting 41.0 percent from three last season. A deal would send Washington to Tony Parker's ASVEL squad ahead of Parker's first EuroLeague season as head coach. Unless talks fall through and he resurfaces in an NBA camp, Washington remains off fantasy radars.

P.J. Washington Confident He Stays in Dallas
Dallas Mavericks forward/center P.J. Washington expects to open the season in Dallas despite spending much of the offseason in trade rumors. In an interview with DLLS Mavs' Kevin Gray Jr., Washington said he is "super confident" he will be a Maverick on Opening Night after long talks with team president Masai Ujiri and general manager Mike Schmitz. Marc Stein previously reported that Washington was among the veterans Dallas was viewed as open to trading, but the 27-year-old sounds committed to staying put. Washington averaged 14.2 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 1.8 assists last season, giving him useful category appeal if the minutes hold. A forward-heavy roster built around Cooper Flagg and recently extended Naji Marshall could still squeeze his ceiling, but Washington remains a viable late-round fantasy piece if he keeps a steady role.

Patrick Cantlay Hopes to Take Elite Iron Play to BMW Championship
As the PGA Tour cuts down to the top 50 in the FedEx Cup race, Patrick Cantlay needs to continue his run of solid form to make it to East Lake. At 42nd, he's got some ground to make up. His approach play is the main part of his game that's gotten him through the last couple of weeks, as he's averaged 1.7 strokes gained on approach over his last two starts. The 34-year-old is plenty serviceable off the tee, and his putter isn't giving up strokes like it was earlier in the year. The biggest question is whether he can make enough birdies to keep pace with a score that could reach almost -20 under. Cantlay is a safe play, but he doesn't have a clear ceiling for how well the week could go if everything else remains stagnant.

It's Impossible to Trust Robert MacIntyre at BMW Championship
Before last week, Robert MacIntyre seemed to be trending in a nice direction. However, an opening round 82 at TPC Southwind and a subsequent withdraw leaves little hope of being a trustworthy DFS candidate this week. It was an abysmal week by all statistical measures, especially for a player who finished the season ranked 12th in strokes gained putting and 29th off the tee. Neither were working in Memphis, and with an even more limited field full of the seasons best players, it's an easy recommendation to fade the Scotsman in St. Louis.

Davis Warren Named Starting QB for Stanford
Former Michigan quarterback Davis Warren was announced as Stanford's starting quarterback for their opening game against Hawaii, per Pete Nakos. In 2024, Warren completed 134 of 209 passes for 1,199 yards, with seven touchdowns and nine interceptions in nine games as Michigan's starter. Warren suffered an ACL tear before last season and was eventually moved on. After transferring to Stanford, Warren had a strong spring camp and surpassed former starter Ben Gulbranson this offseason. Warren will hope to elevate Stanford's offense, which ranked second-to-last in the ACC in offensive yards (306.5) and dead last in scoring (19.0). Warren is not currently a fantasy-relevant quarterback, as he ranks outside the Top-60 in RotoBaller's positional rankings.

Tre Tucker to Operate as WR1 in Las Vegas
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker was heavily utilized in the team's preseason opener against the Arizona Cardinals. Tucker caught two passes for 21 yards on the team's opening drive and appears poised for a major role in new head coach Klint Kubiak's offense. Tucker played 9/10 snaps with the first-team offense, while Jalen Nailor (8) and Jack Bech (5) each played a role as well. The former third-round pick had a solid 2025 season, hauling in 57 of 92 targets for 696 yards and five touchdowns, despite the Raiders' struggles on offense. If Kirk Cousins or Fernando Mendoza can find a rhythm in Kubiak's new offense, Tucker could have a breakout season as the clear lead wideout. Ranked WR65 in RotoBaller's positional rankings, Tucker can easily outperform his ADP in 2026.

Rashod Bateman Listed as Starter on Ravens Unofficial Depth Chart
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman was listed as a starter on the team's unofficial depth chart. Alongside 2025 leading receiver Zay Flowers, Bateman was ranked ahead of standout rookie Ja'Kobe Lane and Devontez Walker. While Lane has been stealing the headlines at Ravens' training camp, Bateman still has the coaching staff's trust and has been working with the first-team offense. Bateman told the media earlier in camp that offensive coordinator Declan Doyle has been using the former first-round pick in the slot much more than in previous seasons. Bateman is looking to bounce back in 2026 after a down season, totaling just 224 yards and two touchdowns in 13 games. Currently ranked WR74 in RotoBaller's positional rankings, Bateman could be a solid late-round pick if he stays ahead of Lane in the rotation this season.

Elic Ayomanor Seeing Plenty of First-Team Reps
Despite not recording a catch, Tennessee Titans wide receiver Elic Ayomanor was highly involved in the team's 19-13 preseason victory over the San Francisco 49ers. Of 22 first-team snaps, Ayomanor played 16/22, tying rookie Carnell Tate (16) and trailing only Wan'Dale Robinson (17). The second-year receiver played more snaps than veteran Calvin Ridley (7), who played the first drive, then didn't return, and fellow second-year wideout Chimere Dike (5). Training camp headlines said Ayomanor and Ridley were splitting first-team reps, but Ayomanor was far more of a factor than expected. While he may not be draftable in 2026, the Titans' lead wide receiver from the 2025 season is expected to be a piece of their new offense this season.
