New York Jets former undrafted wide receiver
Xavier Gipson has been a non-contributor as a wide receiver on offense despite fighting his way onto the active roster in his first year in the NFL and then scoring a game-winning, punt-return touchdown in his first game in 2023. The Athletic's Zack Rosenblatt write that Gipson's roster spot is in jeopardy heading into training camp with undrafted rookie wideout
Jamaal Pritchett pushing him. The 24-year-old is currently the front-runner to be New York's punt returner, but it's not a lock. He caught 21 of 38 targets for 229 yards and no touchdowns on offense in 2023 but regressed last year and caught just six passes for 39 yards and a TD in 17 games (no starts). Gipson isn't anywhere near the fantasy radar heading into the 2025 season.

Toronto Blue Jays right-handed pitcher
Max Scherzer (thumb) tossed 4 1/3 innings during his first rehab outing on Friday evening. Facing Triple-A Columbus, Scherzer struck out four batters and allowed four hits and two runs. He did not allow a walk. This was a strong showing for the veteran, who is working his way back from a thumb injury that has kept him sidelined for most of the campaign. Scherzer hit the injured list shortly after his season debut. However, given that he already logged 56 pitches in this outing, he may only need a few more outings before returning to the majors. Scherzer battled injuries last season as well, but was effective when on the bump, posting a 3.95 ERA with a strong 1.15 WHIP across 43 1/3 innings. When he returns, he will likely replace
Eric Lauer in the rotation.

The Athletic's Zack Rosenblatt writes that New York Jets wide receiver
Garrett Wilson's stock is up this offseason. Wilson was the best player on the field for all of the spring practices open to the media while making highlight-reel catches and rarely dropping any of quarterback
Justin Fields' passes. The new coaching staff is highlighting Wilson's ability to improvise on routes while also making sure Wilson is where Fields expects him to be on any given play. Outside of running back
Breece Hall, the team doesn't have a clear No. 2 pass-catcher, which leads Rosenblatt to speculate that Wilson could set a Jets record for targets and catches in 2025. Despite seeking a new contract, the 24-year-old was present for OTAs and minicamp. RotoBaller has him ranked as the No. 16 fantasy wideout, but if Fields makes strides as a passer, Wilson has clear WR1 upside this year.

Texas Rangers outfielder
Evan Carter (wrist) is not in Saturday's lineup when the Rangers continue a series against the Chicago White Sox. Carter was removed from Friday's game after suffering a wrist injury. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status leading up to Sunday's game. This afternoon, the Rangers will give
Wyatt Langford the start in center field, which will open left field for
Sam Haggerty. Carter has begun to heat up at the plate following his rough start to the season. Over his last five games, the former top prospect has posted a stellar .556/.636/1.167 slash line with two doubles, three home runs, and two stolen bases. This afternoon, the Rangers are a viable target in DFS as they face Chicago right-hander
Mike Vasil.

Colorado Rockies outfielder
Jordan Beck is not in Saturday's lineup when the Rockies continue a series against the Atlanta Braves. Beck has been in the starting nine in each of the past nine games. During this stretch, the 24-year-old has posted a .333/.381/.410 line with three doubles, four RBI, one stolen base, and a 7:3 K:BB. This afternoon, the Rockies will give Sam Hillard the nod in left field. Hillard will also bat at the top of the lineup. Fantasy managers should expect Beck to return to action on Sunday. Through 59 games this season, Beck has been productive, holding a .265/.323/.465 slash line with eight home runs and eight stolen bases. This afternoon, the Rockies are best to fade in DFS as they will face Atlanta right-hander
Spencer Strider.

The Houston Astros have shifted right-handed pitcher
Spencer Arrighetti (thumb) to the 60-day injured list on Saturday. The 25-year-old has been sidelined with a fractured thumb since April. Arrighetti suffered this injury during a batting practice session. Arrighetti only made two starts before hitting the injured list. During this brief 9 2/3 inning stretch, Arrighetti held a 5.59 ERA with a 0.93 WHIP. He struck out eight batters and allowed walks at a high 12.8% rate. Arrighetti made his MLB debut last season and began to find his footing during the second half of the campaign, posting a 3.18 ERA with a 1.17 WHIP over his final 65 innings of work. While Arrighetti recently began playing catch from 70 feet, he still has a long road ahead of him. The team has yet to provide a detailed timeline. As a result, he is only worth stashing in 12+ team leagues.

Minnesota Twins catcher
Ryan Jeffers will retreat to the bench on Saturday in Houston against the Astros at Daikin Park.
Christian Vazquez is doing the catching for right-hander
Joe Ryan and will hit ninth against Astros right-hander
Hunter Brown. Jeffers has taken over primary catching duties for the Twins this year over Vazquez and is currently slashing .243/.341/.376 with four home runs, 21 RBI and 21 runs scored in 189 at-bats. He's gone hitless in his last three games and has struggled at the plate so far in June, going 6-for-32 (.188) with a homer, a double, three RBI, five runs scored, six walks and 10 strikeouts. The 34-year-old Vazquez offers almost nothing with his bat for fantasy managers, as he comes into Saturday's tilt hitting .204 (21-for-103) with two homers, nine RBI and 10 runs scored. He has never faced Brown in his career.

Minnesota Twins third baseman
Royce Lewis (hamstring) is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's contest against the hosting Houston Astros at Daikin Park.
Brooks Lee will handle third base duties for the Twins and will hit sixth against Astros right-hander
Hunter Brown. Lewis suffered a left-hamstring strain in Friday night's loss to the Astros, so it's no surprise the oft-injured slugger is out for the second game of the series. Given the 26-year-old's lengthy injury history and the fact he already spent time this year with a hamstring injury to the same leg, fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised if Lewis ends up back on the IL with this new hammy ailment. The former first overall pick in 2017 hit his second homer of the season on Friday night, but he's been a disappointment overall in just 99 at-bats, batting just .202 with nine RBI and 10 runs scored.

Miami Marlins middle infielder
Xavier Edwards is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's contest in D.C. against the hosting Washington Nationals.
Javier Sanoja will get the start at the keystone and will hit ninth against Nationals right-hander
Trevor Williams. After returning from a stint on the injured list, the switching-hitting Edwards has shifted over to second base for the Fish. Since his return on May 31, the 25-year-old has been swinging the bat well, going 14-for-40 (.350) with three doubles, four RBI and six runs scored in 11 games played. Edwards has little power to speak of, but he has 31 stolen bases in 2024 and has 11 on the year through 53 games this year, making him a useful middle infielder in fantasy for his speed. Sanoja will be a desperation DFS play out of the nine-hole for Saturday's action. He's hit .246 (34-for-138) this year with a homer and 14 RBI.

Much like his rookie season last year, Buffalo Bills second-year wide receiver
Keon Coleman showed inconsistency in mandatory minicamp practice this week, according to The Athletic's Joe Buscaglia. Coleman has shown the ability to make big plays occasionally, but then he'll have regrettable reps that question his ability to be a consistent playmaker for the Bills. The 22-year-old's on-ball concerns and his intermediate to deep separation skills are things that he will have to improve on if he wants to take the next step in 2025. He had only 29 catches for 556 yards and four touchdowns in 13 regular-season games in 2024 but also dealt with a chipped bone in his wrist that affected his production down the stretch. The former second-rounder could be more effective in a bigger role this year, but the addition of
Joshua Palmer could also be hindrance.

Buffalo Bills general manager Brandon Beane said that tight end
Dalton Kincaid added both strength and bulk to his frame this offseason after a disappointing second season in 2024. He caught 73 of 91 targets for 673 yards and two touchdowns in 16 games in his rookie season but had a 44-448-2 line in 13 games last year. The Bills have defended the 25-year-old's second season because of the knee injuries that defined how much he could play once he returned in Week 15 after missing three games. The Athletic's Joe Buscaglia says that the ultimate test for Kincaid will be if he can increase his snap percentage and stay on the field for more run-blocking reps. He has the natural pass-catching skills to rebound as one of quarterback
Josh Allen's most reliable targets. Kincaid will come at a little discount this year and should be considered a low-end TE1/high-end TE2 with upside.

ESPN's Alaina Getzenberg writes that Buffalo Bills running back
James Cook, despite seeking a contract extension, was a full participant in the team's three-day mandatory minicamp this week. General manager Brandon Beane said the "relationship's very good and I know [Cook's] going to be ready to roll when we get to [training camp in] Rochester." Cook said earlier this week that he plans to be at training camp this summer, but he didn't specify if he'd actually be taking part in workouts. Beane said Cook "looks good out there. You can tell he's been working." It sounds like the two sides are working towards a deal, but Cook could hold in during training camp. Cook was the RB8 in half-PPR scoring in 2024 with his second straight 1,000-yard rushing season and a league-high 16 rushing TDs. Regression is coming in the TD department after he scored four rushing touchdowns in his first two NFL seasons.

Indiana Pacers guard
Tyrese Haliburton struggled in Friday's loss to OKC. He had 18 points, his second-highest mark of the NBA Finals. However, after going 4-for-8 from downtown in Game 3, the 25-year-old made just one of his seven tries from behind the arc in Game 4. Haliburton is now averaging 17.8 points, 7.5 assists, and 6.0 rebounds throughout the series. He has also improved on the defensive end. Unfortunately, Haliburton hasn't been consistent offensively. In addition, he has amassed at least four turnovers in the last three contests, making him a somewhat risky DFS option for Game 5 on Monday evening.

Milwaukee Brewers right-handed pitching prospect
Jacob Misiorowski (ankle) is expected to make his next start against the Chicago Cubs. Misiorowski exited his MLB debut early on Thursday after suffering an ankle/leg injury. However, following the game, Misiorowski noted that he felt fine and had minor swelling in his left ankle. Given this update, the hard-throwing right-hander was able to avoid a significant injury. In his MLB debut, Misiorowski was quite impressive, tossing five no-hit innings against the Cardinals. In this outing, he struck out five batters and allowed four walks. Earlier this season, in Triple-A, the top-ranked pitcher in the Milwaukee system performed at a high level, tossing 63 1/3 innings to the tune of a 2.13 ERA with a 1.09 WHIP. During this stretch, he struck out 80 batters. Even though he will have a tough task in his next start against the Cubs, he is worth starting in all leagues given his production at Triple-A and promising debut.

Oklahoma City Thunder forward/center
Chet Holmgren had another double-double in Friday's win over the Indiana Pacers. The 2022 No. 2 overall pick had 14 points, a dip from the 20 he had in Game 3, but he made up for it by amassing a game-high 15 boards, his highest rebounding total of the series.
Isaiah Hartenstein got the start for Game 4 on Friday evening. If Hartenstein gets another run with the first five on Monday in Oklahoma City, the door could be open for another solid rebounding night from Holmgren, giving him more than enough upside for DFS managers.

June 14, 2025
Oklahoma City Thunder guard
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored a game-high 35 points in Friday's win over the Indiana Pacers. He added three steals and a block. OKC had trouble keeping up with Indiana throughout the night. However, SGA put the Thunder on his back by scoring 15 of his 35 points in the fourth quarter while sinking six free-throws in the final minute of the contest. With the series knotted at two games each, both clubs will head back to Oklahoma City for Game 5 on Monday. Gilgeous-Alexander is now averaging 32.8 points during the NBA Finals, so Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle will need to make adjustments. With that said, until the 26-year-old shows signs of regression, he remains a top option for DFS managers.
--Dennis ClausenSource: ESPN
June 14, 2025
Oklahoma City Thunder forward
Jalen Williams scored 27 points in Friday's win over the Indiana Pacers. He added seven rebounds and three assists.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the way by finishing with a game-high 35 points. However, despite failing to drain a three-point shot, the 24-year-old still had his best showing of the NBA Finals on Friday night. Williams' usage has steadily increased throughout the series. Assuming Indiana continues to focus its defensive efforts on SGA moving ahead, which is certainly possible, Williams' usage should continue to trend up, giving him plenty of upside for DFS managers for Game 5 on Monday evening.

San Francisco Giants pitcher
Logan Webb held the Dodgers to two runs in seven innings of work on Friday, allowing two hits (one home run) and three walks while striking out four batters on the way to picking up his sixth win of the season in the 6-2 victory over Los Angeles. It was also the righty's 11th quality start of the year, which is tied for the most in the majors. All in all, the 28-year-old owns a 2.58 ERA (2.34 FIP), 1.12 WHIP, and a strong 22.4 percent K-BB%. His next start lines up with Cleveland next Thursday in San Francisco, a team with the seventh-fewest runs per game average so far this season.

Atlanta Braves first baseman
Matt Olson went 3-for-4 on Friday, including a double, three RBI, and three runs scored in a 12-4 win over the Rockies. The 31-year-old is riding a five-game hit streak and has reached base safely via hit or walk in 15 consecutive contests, going 16-for-55 (.291) with seven doubles, two home runs, 13 RBI, 11 runs scored, and a 10:12 BB:K over that span. Although the batting average has tailed off over the last two seasons, the 2x All-Star is having another fine year, slashing .246/.350/.476 with 14 home runs, a .359 wOBA, and a 130 wRC+. The left-handed slugger will face off with rookie
Chase Dollander in Colorado on Saturday, who brings a 6.85 ERA and 1.54 WHIP into the matchup, and with the Braves owning the highest implied run total on the board, Olson should be in play as a DFS option.
--Jarod RuppSource: ESPN
June 14, 2025
San Francisco Giants infielder
Casey Schmitt went 1-for-3 with a walk and a grand slam in Friday's 6-2 win over the Dodgers. The slam came off of
Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who had come into the game with just a 2.20 ERA and had allowed home runs in just four of his 13 starts before Friday. Schmitt has a hit in each of the last four games, with both of the home runs he's hit this year coming in that span as well. The 26-year-old missed a month earlier this season with an oblique injury and had only been getting sporadic starts upon his return until recently. With
Matt Chapman going on the IL, Schmitt has been manning third base, and if he continues to hit, the former second-round draft pick could become an intriguing waiver wire add with his eligibility at 1B, 2B, 3B, and SS.

Detroit Tigers pitcher
Alex Cobb (hip), who has been on a minor-league rehab assignment, received another injection in his left hip to combat inflammation. Once the inflammation subsides, the veteran will resume his rehab at Triple-A Toledo. The 37-year-old has made three rehab starts already, allowing just one earned run on two hits and five walks while striking out seven in a total of 6 1/3 innings pitched. The righty was an effective real-life pitcher in 2023 for the Giants, posting a 3.87 ERA, 1.32 WHIP, and a 14.6 percent K-BB% in 151 1/3 IP, but was limited to just 16 1/3 IP last year. For fantasy, however, the high WHIP and low strikeout rate make him less appealing, so managers may want to consider him more as a spot starter once he returns in the coming weeks.
--Jarod RuppSource: Evan Petzold
June 14, 2025
Houston Astros outfielder
Chas McCormick (oblique) began hitting off a tee on Friday. The 30-year-old has been out of action since May 29, and at that point had gone 11-for-43 (.256) with two doubles and no home runs along with a 5:14 BB:K in his limited playing time. He also stole one base and was caught stealing three times. The right-handed hitter has been unable to recreate the offense that made him a 22-home-run, 19-steal player in only 115 games back in 2023, and without regular at-bats, there isn't much fantasy appeal here. Nevertheless, he's still a ways away from a return, likely requiring a rehab assignment once his hitting progression is complete.
--Jarod RuppSource: Chandler Rome
June 14, 2025
Los Angeles Dodgers reliever
Blake Treinen (forearm) threw a bullpen session on Friday. The veteran is inching closer to a return, but will likely need a few more bullpens and a rehab assignment before returning to the big league mound. The righty had eight games under his belt before landing on the IL in mid-April, notching two saves, three holds, and recording 10 strikeouts in eight innings pitched with a 3.38 ERA. Treinen made 50 appearances for the Dodgers last season, posting a 1.93 ERA, 0.94 WHIP, and a strong 24.5 percent K-BB%, so the 36-year-old should still be effective once he returns, and the 6-foot-5 hurler could also pick up a few more saves along the way, so he could be a decent ratio enhancer in deep and NL-only leagues when that happens, although there is no ETA yet.

Los Angeles Angels right-handed pitching prospect
George Klassen tossed six shutout frames en route to picking up the victory over Double-A Pensacola on Friday. In this outing, Klassen allowed just two hits and one walk. He struck out five. This was a nice bounce-back outing for Klassen as he allowed 14 runs (13 earned) over his last three starts (8 2/3 innings). However, prior to this slump, the No. 3-ranked prospect in the system posted a 3.86 ERA and a 1.21 WHIP over his first 25 2/3 innings of work. Through 40 1/3 total frames, Klassen has struck out 49 batters and held a modest 5.36 ERA. However, his slump in early June has inflated his ratios. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his progression as the former sixth-round pick could earn a second-half taste of Triple-A.
