Jake Burger a Viable Power Target in Fantasy Baseball?
Texas Rangers first baseman Jake Burger has a .240/.304/.423 slash line with a .727 OPS, 16 home runs, 58 RBI, 41 runs scored, and two stolen bases in 92 games across 372 plate appearances in 2026 at the halfway point. If he stays healthy the rest of the way, Burger could reach the 30-homer mark for the second time in his career, yet he's only rostered in 24% of Yahoo leagues. He hit .270 (24-for-89) with four home runs, three doubles, 15 RBI, nine runs scored, and a steal in 26 games in June, but in nine games in July before the All-Star break, Burger hit .118 (4-for-34) with two homers, six RBI, three runs, two walks, and 12 strikeouts. The former 11th overall pick by the Chicago White Sox in 2017 out of Missouri State University has a 26.3% strikeout rate, which is his highest mark since 2023 with Chicago and the Miami Marlins. Burger's swing-and-miss tendencies aren't going to help fantasy managers' average or on-base percentage, but the power is still real. He sits in the 77th percentile in hard-hit rate, 65th percentile in barrel rate, and 48th percentile in xSLG.

Josh Bell Still a Cheap Source of Power Off the Waiver Wire
Minnesota Twins first baseman Josh Bell, 33, doesn't have the high-end upside that most fantasy managers are looking for when targeting players off the waiver wire, but he can still help those in need of power as we head into the second half of the 2026 season later this week. The veteran switch-hitter is batting .248/.307/.429 with a .735 OPS, 13 home runs, 60 RBI, 48 runs scored, and a stolen base in 343 at-bats this year in his first season with the Twins. The former second-rounder by the Pittsburgh Pirates in 2011 out of Jesuit College Preparatory School of Dallas was hot going into the break, too, going 13-for-47 (.277) with four home runs, five doubles, nine RBI, and seven runs scored in his last 12 games. Bell has been better average-wise (.264) as a righty against lefties, but most of his power comes from the left side (10 of his 13 homers). Most of his power production this year has also come away from Target Field, with nine of his long balls coming on the road. Bell isn't an elite power bat, but for those in deeper leagues scrounging for power, Bell is widely available (25% rostered in Yahoo leagues).

Rookie Travis Bazzana Still Worth a Roster Spot for Speed?
Cleveland Guardians rookie second baseman Travis Bazzana, the first overall pick from Oregon State University in 2024, was hitting .294/.389/.450 with an .838 OPS, three homers, eight doubles, 11 RBI, eight stolen bases, and 13 runs scored in his first 30 games after debuting with Cleveland on April 28. Since June 2, though, he has hit just .193 (26-for-135) with four homers, six doubles, a triple, 17 RBI, 17 runs scored, five steals, 17 walks, and 37 strikeouts in 35 games to drop his overall line to .238/.330/.389 in his first 282 MLB plate appearances. Bazzana goes into this week's All-Star break hitting .200 (8-for-40) with three doubles, three RBI, four runs, a stolen base, five walks, and 13 K's in 10 games in July. The 23-year-old left-handed-hitting Aussie is known for his advanced plate discipline, and he has backed that up with a walk rate in the 75th percentile and a chase rate in the 71st percentile. However, his xOBP is in just the 40th percentile thanks to a hard-hit rate in the 27th percentile and a barrel rate in the 18th percentile. Bazzana has the plate skills, but he's not squaring the ball up enough consistently yet at the big-league level. Still, he's useful for his speed (13 steals) in deeper fantasy formats going into the second half.

Kody Clemens Still a Waiver Target for Power Going into Second Half
Minnesota Twins infielder/outfielder Kody Clemens heads into this week's All-Star break only four home runs shy of a new career high in that category. The 30-year-old veteran has a .243/.303/.482 slash line with a .785 OPS, 16 home runs, 46 RBI, 45 runs scored, and six stolen bases in 301 at-bats at the halfway mark in what has turned out to be a career year in his first full season in Minnesota (fifth in the majors). The former third-round pick by the Detroit Tigers in the 2018 MLB draft out of the University of Texas at Austin homered in three straight games to begin the month of July and had a span of five home runs and 12 RBI in eight games from June 26 through July 4. Clemens went hitless in 17 plate appearances with an RBI, a run scored, a walk, and seven strikeouts across four games going into the All-Star break, but that shouldn't take away from the fact that he's a sneaky waiver-wire addition for power-hungry fantasy managers going into the second half of the season. Clemens is rostered in just under half of Yahoo leagues, so he's widely available. Making him more attractive is the fact that he's eligible at first base, second base, and the outfield in those same formats.

Rookie Outfielder Cole Carrigg Still Worth Rostering During Cold Spell?
Colorado Rockies rookie outfielder Cole Carrigg, who is ranked by MLB Pipeline as the team's No. 6 prospect, has been one of the more intriguing power/speed prospects to stash in fantasy baseball this year, but he's in a bit of a slump going into the All-Star break. Carrigg went 27-for-85 (.318) with four homers, six doubles, three triples, 21 RBI, 23 runs scored, and two stolen bases in his first 26 major-league games after debuting with Colorado on June 9. He's fallen into a funk offensively going into this week's All-Star break, though, going hitless in his last 18 plate appearances with an RBI, two walks, and seven strikeouts in his last five games to drop his season slash line to .273/.356/.515 with an .871 OPS in 119 plate appearances. The midway point of the season is coming at a good time for the 24-year-old switch-hitter, who was a second-round pick in 2023 out of San Diego State University. Going into the second half, Carrigg is still a fine upside outfielder to roster in mixed fantasy leagues, although he has struggled away from hitter-friendly Coors Field, batting .208 with two of his homers, eight walks, and 15 strikeouts.

Garrett Crochet Still hasn't Been Cleared to Throw
Boston Red Sox left-hander Garrett Crochet (shoulder) still has not been cleared to throw, interim manager Chad Tracy told MassLive.com's Chris Cotillo. Instead, Crochet is still playing catch with weighted plyometric balls as he tries to recover from inflammation in his left shoulder. The talented southpaw was put on the injured list way back on April 29 with shoulder inflammation before he had a setback with a low-grade lat strain while facing hitters at the end of May. The 27-year-old two-time All-Star has essentially recovered from his lat strain but now needs to get over the hump with his shoulder injury. The fact that Crochet hasn't resumed throwing essentially rules out a return before the end of July, and with a lengthy minor-league rehab assignment now probably necessary, fantasy managers may not see him again until mid-to-late August. It's been a frustrating development in 2026 for those who have Crochet rostered after he finished second in the American League Cy Young voting last year. In his six starts with Boston this year before going down, he struggled to a 6.30 ERA, 1.47 WHIP, and 37:11 K:BB in 30 innings. Crochet's high-end upside makes him stash-worthy in all fantasy leagues, though.

Roman Anthony to Continue to Rehab in Florida
Boston Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy confirmed that outfielder Roman Anthony's (finger) follow-up appointment with Dr. Gary Lourie in Georgia revealed no new information about the finger/hand injury that has kept Anthony on the injured list since May 5, according to Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com. Anthony will continue to build up strength at the team's spring training complex in Fort Myers, Florida. "Everything's healing, going the way it should, so he'll go down to Florida and continue to do his thing so we can get ramped up quicker," Tracy said. The 22-year-old former top prospect has been out since May 7 due to a partially torn tendon in his right ring finger. Anthony is quickly developing an injury-prone label after he was shut down late last season due to injury. Although there is no clear timetable for Anthony's return, this might be the perfect time to buy low on him in dynasty/keeper leagues. When healthy, Anthony still has one of the best power/speed profiles of any young outfielder in the game, and he'll be a lineup regular for the BoSox whenever he returns to action in the second half. Anthony was hitting .229 (25-for-109) with a homer, five RBI, 12 runs, and two stolen bases before going down earlier this year.

Ronald Acuna Jr. Starting Rehab Assignment on Monday
The Atlanta Braves announced that outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (hamstring) is starting his minor-league rehab assignment on Monday with the rookie-level Florida Complex League Braves. It means that if Acuna can avoid a setback with his hamstring, he could be ready to roll for the Braves coming out of the All-Star break this Friday in the series opener against the Texas Rangers. The former MVP has been on the 10-day injured list for over a month due to a strained left hamstring that put him on the IL for the second time this year. The 28-year-old Venezuelan outfielder has high-end power/speed upside on one of the better teams in baseball, but injuries continue to make him a big risk/reward asset. Now is probably the last time that interested fantasy managers might be able to buy low on him before he returns for the second half. Before his second left-hamstring injury, Acuna was batting .251 (49-for-195) with seven long balls, 22 RBI, 15 stolen bases, and 31 runs scored across his 53 games and 236 plate appearances. The five-time All-Star could be a difference-maker in the second half for Atlanta if he can just stay on the field.

Shohei Ohtani has his Knee Drained on Sunday
Los Angeles Dodgers two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani (knee) was set to have his bothersome left knee drained on Sunday evening, according to Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic. The Dodgers scratched Ohtani from his scheduled start on the mound in Friday's series opener against the division-rival Arizona Diamondbacks, but the 32-year-old four-time MVP served as the designated hitter all weekend and even clubbed his 22nd home run of the year in Sunday's loss. The Dodgers are having Ohtani get his knee taken care of during the All-Star break, and unfortunately, we won't get to see the unicorn play in the Midsummer Classic on Tuesday. The good news for fantasy managers is that Ohtani is expected to be ready to rejoin L.A.'s starting rotation for the start of the second half this weekend. The six-time All-Star and four-time Silver Slugger winner isn't running as much, but otherwise, he's been a beast offensively, slashing .293/.403/.549 with a .953 OPS, 22 home runs, 58 RBI, and 65 runs scored in 335 at-bats. As a pitcher, he's in the National League MVP conversation with an 8-2 record, 1.79 ERA (2.61 FIP), and 0.95 WHIP with 95 strikeouts and 26 walks in 14 starts over 85 2/3 innings.

Liam Doyle Emerging as Potential Late-Season Call-Up?
St. Louis Cardinals top pitching prospect Liam Doyle appeared in a relief role during the Futures Game. Doyle tossed an inning where he struck out two hitters and served up two free passes. He did not allow a run. Doyle was selected by the Cardinals with the No. 5 overall pick in last year's MLB Draft and has spent the 2026 season at Double-A. While he has struggled at times, the former Tennessee Volunteer has begun to find his footing and is putting himself in position for a late-season call-up. Over his last two Double-A starts, Doyle has logged 8 2/3 innings with two earned runs and an 11:6 K:BB. His command has been an issue this season, but he has managed to strike out 75 hitters in just 56 frames. If he can carry this success into the early part of the second half, a late-season cup of coffee with the MLB roster will not be out of the question.

Seth Hernandez Dominates in Brief Appearance in Futures Game
Pittsburgh Pirates pitching prospect Seth Hernandez continued his impressive debut season by tossing a perfect frame in the Futures Game on Sunday afternoon. Entering the game in the second inning, the former No. 6 overall pick tossed a shutout inning with no hits, no walks, and two punchouts. The 20-year-old made his pro debut at Low-A this season but has already been bumped up to High-A and is putting himself in a strong position to reach Double-A later in the second half of the season. At Low-A, Hernandez logged 28 innings with a 0.96 ERA and 0.71 WHIP, prompting the early promotion. While the right-hander has hit some roadblocks at High-A, he has continued to flash elite strikeout potential, totaling 61 strikeouts in just 41 innings. If Hernandez can continue this trajectory, he should reach Double-A later this season and establish himself as the clear No. 1 pitching prospect in the game, alongside Seattle's Kade Anderson.

Nathan Flewelling Claims MVP Honors in Futures Game
Tampa Bay Rays catching prospect Nathan Flewelling was named Futures Game MVP after his impressive showing on Sunday afternoon. In this contest, the No. 75-ranked prospect in baseball went 1-for-1 with a two-run home run. Flewelling joined the Rays system in the third round of the 2024 MLB Draft and has spent his entire 2026 campaign at the High-A level. Through 73 games with Bowling Green, the young backstop has carried a .261/.394/.496 line with 12 doubles, 16 home runs, and six stolen bases. However, over his last 19 contests, Flewelling has taken his production to a much higher level, posting a .324/.484/.662 line with three doubles and six home runs. Given his current trajectory, dynasty managers should expect the No. 2 prospect in the system to receive a taste of Double-A ball in the coming weeks.

Is Hector Rodriguez the Priority Stash Target for Home Run Potential?
Cincinnati Reds outfield prospect Hector Rodriguez has continued to showcase high-end power at the top club in the minor leagues and is a high-end stash heading into the All-Star break. Despite carrying a modest .260 AVG over his last 14 games at Triple-A Louisville, Rodriguez has launched five home runs over this stretch with a .931 OPS. Overall on the season, the team's No. 5-ranked prospect (according to MLB.com) has hit 14 doubles, 23 home runs, and swiped six bags, while carrying a .284/.364/.564 line with a .910 OPS. The corner outfielder is worth a close look in the second half, as he may not need to wait long to earn the call, with both Noelvi Marte and JJ Bleday beginning to show some inconsistencies in the majors. For now, Rodriguez is a viable stash candidate in 12+ team leagues for managers needing late-season home run potential.

Walker Jenkins a Must-Stash With MLB Debut Approaching?
Minnesota Twins outfield prospect Walker Jenkins has been very productive in his return to Triple-A. The team's top-ranked prospect missed time this season due to a shoulder injury but has quickly put himself back on the stash radar since being cleared to return. Over his last 13 contests with St. Paul, the former fifth overall pick has posted an elite .314/.364/.529 line with a .893 OPS. During this stretch, the 21-year-old has hit four doubles, gone deep once and chipped in two stolen bases. This surge is worth emphasizing as Jenkins carried a much lower .256/.296/.389 line with just two round-trippers over the first 25 games of the Triple-A regular season. With the Twins sitting outside the current playoff picture, they could look to sell at the upcoming deadline, which would allow Jenkins to face minimal competition for second-half at-bats at the big-league level.

Should Managers Still Stash Dodgers Top Pitching Prospect River Ryan?
Los Angeles Dodgers pitching prospect River Ryan put himself at the top of the stash rankings during the first half of the season, as he was not only flashing elite potential at the Triple-A level but also had a clear path to MLB innings. With both Blake Snell and Tyler Glasnow on the shelf, Ryan appeared to be on the doorstep of returning to Los Angeles. However, on June 17, Ryan took a massive step back, serving up a season-worst eight earned runs and 10 hits before ultimately being placed on the 7-day injured list with a hamstring strain. Since moving to the IL, Ryan has not progressed in his recovery and is without a clear timetable. While managers should continue to monitor his status, it appears Ryan may face an uphill battle to return to the majors in 2026. With Blake Snell set to embark on his rehab stint, managers in all 12-team formats should no longer view Ryan as a viable stash target, as his path to MLB innings will be far more challenging down the stretch.

Heliot Ramos Worth a Roster Spot Moving Forward?
San Francisco Giants outfielder Heliot Ramos finished the first half of the 2026 season with a .275/.311/.468 slash line with eight home runs, 28 RBI, 31 runs scored, and no stolen bases. Over the past seven days leading up to the break, he hit .333 with a .933 OPS. Ramos has been hitting leadoff for the Giants, and his underlying data and quality of contact remain elite. He owns an impressive .350 xwOBA (76th percentile), .283 xBA (89th percentile), .505 xSLG (89th percentile), 92.5 mph average exit velocity (91st percentile), and a 16.4 percent barrel rate (96th percentile) and a 51.2 percent hard-hit rate (91st percentile). While he is clearly impacting the ball well, he is not maximizing that power, which is evidenced by his 10.5 percent pull air rate, and when you combine that with hitting in one of the most difficult ballparks in the Majors in Oracle Park, it is the reason why his run production and power on the surface still remain below average. Nonetheless, Ramos is doing what he needs to do to hit the ball hard, and playing time should not be an issue for him either. He is a must-roster player in five outfield formats, and his underlying data suggests he should be stronger in the second half of the season.

AJ Dybantsa Racks Up 23 Points in Wizards' Summer League Win
Washington Wizards forward AJ Dybantsa racked up 23 points, seven rebounds, three steals, two blocks, and two assists across 24 minutes during Sunday's 104-85 Las Vegas Summer League win over the Sacramento Kings. The No. 1 pick knocked down his first Summer League three after an 0-for-5 debut from deep, though the jumper still cooled as the game went on. Second-year wing Will Riley carried the scoring load with a game-high 32 points as Washington improved to 2-0. That is the encouraging part for fantasy managers: Dybantsa is already piling up steals and blocks, giving him a strong statistical base before the jumper fully settles. On a rebuilding Wizards team, the usage should be there early.

Troy Franklin a Dynasty Hold After Broncos New Addition
Denver Broncos wide receiver Troy Franklin finally broke through in 2025, only to watch the team trade for Jaylen Waddle a few months later. Franklin went from 28 catches for 263 yards and two touchdowns as a rookie to 65 for 709 yards and six scores on 104 targets. That growth matters. So does the new depth chart. Waddle and Courtland Sutton should command most of the work, with Franklin, Marvin Mims Jr., and Pat Bryant left to sort out the rest. Franklin still has the Oregon history with Bo Nix, but that alone will not protect last season's volume. At 23, though, he is too young to dump after one bad offseason turn. RotoBaller has him at WR80 in dynasty, low enough that selling now probably means taking the loss after Waddle's arrival. Hold him and wait for the room to open up. Redraft is much thinner. Franklin sits at WR82 in PPR and needs camp to show he has a steady role before he becomes more than a late flier.

Joey Cantillo has 20 Whiffs on Sunday, Must-Roster Player Moving Forward?
Cleveland Guardians left-hander Joey Cantillo wrapped up a solid first half of the season on Sunday, going up against one of the hottest lineups in the Majors, the Miami Marlins, and holding them to one run. He went five innings, allowing six hits, one earned run, two walks, and racked up nine punchouts with a very impressive 20 whiffs and 44 percent CSW (Called Strike plus Whiff rate). After Sunday's outing, Cantillo wrapped up his first half with an 8-4 record, 3.56 ERA, 1.40 WHIP, and a 105:49 K:BB ratio through 20 starts (101 innings pitched). Cantillo has found tremendous success utilizing his secondary pitches, the changeup and curveball, both of which have 41.5 percent and 38.1 percent whiff rates, respectively. His fastball has left some room for improvement, but he pitches in a rotation that consistently gets the most out of its pitchers in Cleveland, and Cantillo will remain a solid option moving forward and should be rostered in all 12-plus-team formats.

Bo Nix Can Beat his QB15 Price in Redraft Leagues
Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix did not make a huge statistical leap in Year 2, but his fantasy floor held up anyway. He threw for 3,931 yards and 25 touchdowns on 612 attempts, then added 356 yards and five scores as a runner. The passing efficiency was ordinary, with 6.4 yards per attempt and an 87.8 rating, yet that volume and rushing work kept him useful. Denver gave him a real upgrade in Jaylen Waddle, who joins Courtland Sutton, Troy Franklin, and Marvin Mims Jr. The ankle fracture that ended Nix's playoff run is the part fantasy managers cannot simply wave away. He returned to the field during mandatory minicamp and said doctors considered the ankle "as good as new," but training camp will tell us more about his mobility. Davis Webb is taking over the play-calling, though he has described the system as mostly the same Sean Payton offense. With Nix carrying a QB15 ADP, this is a reasonable late-round shot on another low-end QB1 finish.

Darryn Peterson Fills the Box Score in Summer League Defeat
Utah Jazz guard Darryn Peterson recorded 23 points on 6-for-18 shooting, 1-for-3 from three, and 6-for-8 at the line, adding five assists, two rebounds, two steals, and two blocks in 26 minutes during Sunday's 104-82 Las Vegas Summer League loss to the Clippers. The No. 2 pick keeps forcing the issue, and the jumper hasn't cooperated in Vegas (12-for-36 over two outings). The playmaking and defensive activity travel, though: Peterson ran up a 12-assist game earlier this summer and filled the sheet again here. He projects as a genuine fantasy contributor as soon as his rookie season, even if usage gets crowded next to Ace Bailey and Cody Williams. Once the shot falls, the scoring, passing, and steal production give him real fantasy value.

Drake London Still Worth the Gamble in Round 2
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London is carrying more quarterback uncertainty than most players going this early in fantasy drafts. The volume is hard to walk away from. He saw 112 targets in only 12 games last season, finishing with 68 catches for 919 yards and seven touchdowns after a 100-1,271-9 breakout in 2024. Atlanta added Jahan Dotson, Olamide Zaccheaus, and third-round rookie Zachariah Branch, but those moves were about fixing the room around London. They were not about replacing him. He still had at least 40 more targets than any other Falcons wideout despite missing five games. The quarterback piece is messy. Michael Penix Jr. is working back from ACL surgery, and Tua Tagovailoa is pushing for the job. Either one comes with questions, but London has already earned heavy volume in different versions of this offense. His current ADP sits around the middle of Round 2, close to RotoBaller's WR7 valuation. There is risk at that price. There is also a path to another huge target total if he stays healthy, which is why London remains worth the gamble.

Gage Jump Worth a Roster Spot for the Second Half?
Athletics left-hander Gage Jump finished the first half of the 2026 season 3-4 with a 3.51 ERA, 1.29 WHIP, and 48 strikeouts in 48 2/3 innings pitched (nine starts). This is Jump's first taste of MLB, and overall he has been fairly solid, especially given that he pitches half his games at Sutter Health Park, one of MLB's friendliest ballparks. That being said, Jump has pitched to a 6.20 ERA at home and a 0.75 ERA on the road, so it's been night and day for him, so something fantasy managers will want to continue to monitor moving forward as they make weekly start/sit decisions. When we peek under the hood, most of Jump's ERA estimators support his strong start to his career, with a 3.96 xERA and 3.31 FIP. When you combine that with his solid control and strikeout upside (48:15 K:BB ratio), Jump has proven to be useful in all formats. Some may argue there is even more to be had, as his strikeout rate in the Minors was 33.1 percent in Triple-A this year, and 28.4 percent in Double-A in 2025. Jump should continue to be rostered in all formats for the second half, but should be considered a strong start when he's on the road, and a consideration to sit when at home.

Los Angeles Clippers forward Baba Miller registered 15 points, five rebounds, and two assists across 26 minutes in Sunday's 104-82 Las Vegas Summer League win over the Utah Jazz. The No. 36 pick shot 5-for-7 from the field, 2-for-3 from three-point range, and 2-for-2 at the line, giving Los Angeles another clean frontcourt line after he posted 12 points, five boards, and three blocks against Sacramento. Miller's size, touch, and passing remain worth tracking, but he still needs to turn these Summer League flashes into a steady Clippers role.

Evan Engram a Risky Bounce-Back Bet in Redraft Leagues
Denver Broncos tight end Evan Engram never came close to becoming the "Joker" that head coach Sean Payton envisioned last summer, and Denver has not cleared an easy path for a rebound. Engram caught 50 passes for 461 yards and one touchdown in 16 games, but usage was the bigger problem: 42% of the offensive snaps and only two starts. Jaylen Waddle now joins Courtland Sutton in the passing game. The Broncos also traded up for fifth-round tight end Justin Joly, another movable receiving option, after spending 2025 rotating Engram with Adam Trautman and Nate Adkins. Waddle could create better matchups underneath. He also gives Bo Nix another proven target, so Engram still needs more playing time before the fantasy case changes. At 31, that cannot just be assumed. RotoBaller ranks him TE35 for redraft, which is about right. Engram can stay on deep-league watch lists, but standard-league managers do not need to chase the name after Denver showed so little interest in making him a full-time player.

Erik Miller Worth Stashing for Second-Half Saves?
San Francisco Giants left-hander Erik Miller worked 1 1/3 innings on Sunday, struck out two, allowed one hit, walked none, and allowed no runs against the Rockies, picking up his second win of the season. Miller also has an impressive 10 holds for the year, along with two saves in three opportunities and a 3.29 ERA, with 38 punchouts in 27 1/3 innings (32 appearances). His WHIP remains incredibly high for a reliever (1.50), and his control at times falters tremendously (16.5 percent walk rate), but his stuff and velocity are good enough to keep his high WHIP afloat. He generates a ton of strikeouts and whiffs (31.4 percent and 34.4 percent, respectively), and allows a .190 xBA. Caleb Kilian appears to be the preferred choice to close out games for the Giants, as he has eight saves in 11 opportunities; however, he has blown two saves in the past six outings and has a 4.74 ERA and 1.39 WHIP. It's a long shot that Miller becomes the preferred closer, as he is also utilized as a left-handed specialist; however, if Kilian continues to falter, it could keep the door open for Miller. If you are in saves-and-holds leagues, Miller will continue to provide solid value in deeper formats.

Nate Ament Held to Seven Points in Summer League Loss to Spurs
Milwaukee Bucks forward Nate Ament posted seven points on 3-for-7 shooting, 1-for-2 from three, five rebounds, and three turnovers in 25 minutes during Sunday's 90-80 Las Vegas Summer League loss to the Spurs. The No. 13 pick started but couldn't find offensive rhythm, cooling off after a cleaner debut Friday against the Heat. Ament landed in Milwaukee through the deal that sent Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bobby Portis to Miami, so the retooling Bucks can afford to bring him along slowly. He averaged 16.7 points at Tennessee and flashes real scoring upside, but he's a long-term stash, not a factor in fantasy lineups this season. Brayden Burries paced Milwaukee with 26 points.

Bijan Robinson Still Worth a Top-Three Redraft Pick
Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson already showed he can dominate fantasy without taking every backfield carry. Tyler Allgeier logged 143 attempts and scored eight rushing touchdowns last year, yet Robinson still led the NFL with 2,298 yards from scrimmage. His receiving line did a lot of the damage: 79 catches, 820 yards, and four scores, along with 1,478 rushing yards and seven touchdowns on the ground. Atlanta replaced Allgeier with Brian Robinson Jr., a 225-pound downhill runner who can take some of the heavier inside work. That should not be confused with a threat to Bijan's passing-down role or overall standing. He handled 366 touches in 2025, and the new staff plans to keep the wide-zone base while adding gap concepts. A repeat of nearly 2,300 yards is unlikely, but Robinson does not need one to challenge for the overall RB1 finish. RotoBaller has him second overall in half-PPR and third in PPR. Both prices fit the workload and ceiling.

Keaton Wagler Scores 23 Points in Clippers Win
Los Angeles Clippers guard Keaton Wagler contributed 23 points, four assists, one rebound, and one steal across 28 minutes in Sunday's 104-82 Las Vegas Summer League win over the Utah Jazz. The No. 5 overall pick bounced back from a quiet debut, shooting 6-for-16 from the field, 4-for-7 from three-point range, and 3-for-4 at the line. Los Angeles took control by outscoring Utah 42-18 in the third quarter, giving Wagler a much cleaner second-half runway. The shooting response was encouraging, but he still needs more efficient shot creation to strengthen his early fantasy case.

Jacob Webb Earns Another Save for Cubs, Entering Must-Roster Status?
Chicago Cubs right-hander Jacob Webb notched his fifth save of the season on Sunday, working two-thirds of an inning and recording both outs without any traffic. Webb has not allowed a run since June 20, his last blown save, and since then has recorded two wins, three saves, and two holds. On the season as a whole, he now has a solid 3.05 ERA, 1.28 WHIP, and a 48:16 K:BB ratio with five saves (nine opportunities), seven holds, and three wins in 42 appearances. He has clearly taken over as the preferred option in the Cubs bullpen for saves, and provides tremendous short-term value while Daniel Palencia (elbow) is on the injured list and is expected back in late July. The Cubs are also a top option to shop for a reliever on the market as the trade deadline approaches, so Webb's value may be short-lived; however, based on the 2026 closer market, he has entered must-roster status in deeper formats.
