Eduardo Valencia Homers Twice in his Seventh Big-League Game
Detroit Tigers rookie catcher/first baseman Eduardo Valencia had a day to remember on Tuesday in the 14-0 win over the visiting Baltimore Orioles in just his seventh game in the majors. Valencia went 4-for-5 at the plate with two home runs, four RBI, three runs scored, and a strikeout to boost his season average to .529 and his OPS to 1.791 in a small sample size of seven big-league contests. It was his first game action with the Tigers since being recalled from Triple-A Toledo on Monday. Per MLB Pipeline, Valencia is considered Detroit's No. 11 overall prospect. The 6-foot-1, 180-pounder also homered in his first major-league at-bat on July 9, and he now has four homers in his first seven games in Detroit. Valencia's effort to lower his hands in his batting stance to add more lift this year has certainly paid off, as he also clubbed 17 home runs in 81 games at Triple-A in 2026. The Tigers are rolling with Valencia as Dillon Dingler's backup for what looks like the rest of the year.

Gleyber Torres Drives in Five in Rout of Orioles on Tuesday
Detroit Tigers second baseman Gleyber Torres had his best game since returning from the injured list last week in Tuesday's 14-0 blowout victory over the visiting Baltimore Orioles, going 2-for-5 at the plate with a home run, a double, a season-high five RBI, a run scored, and two strikeouts. The 29-year-old Venezuelan second baseman played in just his 51st game of the season on Tuesday because of injuries, but he's now hitting .272 with a .778 OPS. Torres only has five home runs on the year, but he's never been a big power guy -- one outlier 30-homer campaign back in 2019 with the New York Yankees in his second year in the majors. Where he can help down the stretch is with his batting average, thanks to his high contact rate, and in on-base percentage because of his excellent plate discipline. Torres isn't going to move the needle much in the counting stats, but he can certainly be a boost to your fantasy team's average and OBP the rest of the way if he stays healthy. He's currently rostered in under half of Yahoo leagues, too.

Griffin Jax Punches Out a Season-High 10 Batters in Loss to Rangers
Tampa Bay Rays right-hander Griffin Jax may have taken a loss on Tuesday against the Texas Rangers, but the 31-year-old former reliever was still dominant for fantasy managers. Jax allowed two runs (one earned) on five hits while walking three and striking out a season-high 10 hitters in 5 2/3 innings pitched for his eighth loss of the year in the 4-1 defeat at Tropicana Field. The 31-year-old reliever turned starter is now sporting a 3.74 ERA and 1.23 WHIP with a 92:30 K:BB in his 86 2/3 innings pitched in his sixth major-league season (first full year in Tampa). Jax blew his first two save chances to open the 2026 campaign as the Rays' primary closing option, and Tampa eventually moved him to the starting rotation, where he's been more valuable in fantasy baseball. Since joining the rotation on April 26, Jax has gone 5-5 with a 3.38 ERA (3.83 FIP) with 72 strikeouts and 20 walks in 72 innings across 16 starts. He allowed a season-high seven earned runs in five innings against the Boston Red Sox on July 17, but since then, he's given up just two earned runs with two walks and 15 K's in two starts versus the Rangers and Toronto Blue Jays.

Gavin Williams Strikes Out Double-Digit Batters in Fourth Straight Start
Cleveland Guardians right-hander Gavin Williams is having a breakout season and has been as dominant as ever of late. Williams allowed two earned runs on three hits (one homer) while walking one and striking out a season-high 12 batters in seven innings in Tuesday's 2-0 loss to the Cincinnati Reds in the second game of a doubleheader. He was hit with his sixth loss of the 2026 season, but it was also Williams' fourth straight start with double-digit strikeouts. The 27-year-old has fanned 45 and walked just two in 27 innings with a 3.00 ERA and 0.63 WHIP during his four-game dominant stretch of late. Williams now has a 3.71 ERA on the year and will be a must-start in all fantasy formats for his next scheduled start against the New York Mets. Not only is Williams missing more bats than ever before in 2026, but he's also showing better command, and he has walked two or fewer batters in four straight starts as well. There is no pitcher more dominant right now than Williams in the month of July. On the season, he has struck out double-digit batters seven times.

Vinnie Pasquantino Pulled on Tuesday With Sore Hand
The Kansas City Royals announced that first baseman Vinnie Pasquantino (hand) left Tuesday night's game early against the division-rival Minnesota Twins with right-hand soreness. Before leaving the eventual 3-2 loss at Target Field, Pasquantino went 0-for-3 at the plate with a strikeout to drop his season average to .232 and his OPS to .663. Normally, hand soreness wouldn't be much of a concern, but it is for Pasquantino, who already required surgery for a fractured hamate bone in his right hand earlier this season. Fantasy managers should consider the left-handed slugger day-to-day for now, but don't be surprised if it results in a trip to the injured list. The 28-year-old has been a massive disappointment for fantasy managers in 2026 after he clubbed a career-high 32 homers and drove in 113 runs in 160 games a season ago. The Pasquatch entered Tuesday with a .234/.321/.348 slash line with a career-worst .670 OPS, only six homers, and 33 RBI in 333 plate appearances. If he requires another trip to the IL, expect Jac Caglianone to move from right field to first base in KC. Pasquantino's power stroke from the left side isn't guaranteed to bounce back the rest of the year following his hand issues.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Leaves Tuesday's Game With Hamstring Tightness
The Toronto Blue Jays announced that first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (hamstring) left Tuesday night's game early against the Washington Nationals with tightness in his right hamstring. Guerrero went 1-for-2 at the plate before being replaced at first base by Kazuma Okamoto. It's not the first time this year that the 27-year-old has dealt with a hamstring issue, but hopefully it's nothing serious and he's just day-to-day. Fantasy managers will want to check back on Wednesday to see if Vladdy is back in Toronto's starting lineup against Washington. The six-time All-Star and two-time Silver Slugger winner has been one of the most disappointing big-name starts in baseball in 2026, as he entered Tuesday's action slashing just .264/.344/.356 with a career-low .700 OPS, six home runs, 44 RBI, 54 runs scored, and seven stolen bases in 102 games across 433 plate appearances. Guerrero's power has noticeably been absent, and a turnaround doesn't appear to be imminent. Health could be a major reason, as the Canadian native has dealt with nagging issues off and on. In 21 games in July going into Tuesday's game against Washington, Guerrero was hitting .250 (20-for-80) with two homers, five doubles, 10 RBI, nine runs, and one steal in 90 plate appearances.

Adley Rutschman Set to Be Reassessed During Orioles' Upcoming Homestand
Baltimore Orioles catcher Adley Rutschman (wrist) will be reassessed during the team's upcoming homestand to determine if he can resume baseball activities, per Jake Rill of MLB.com. Baltimore returns home from its current road trip on Friday. Rutschman is currently on the 10-day injured list due to left wrist inflammation, and it appears he will not be activated when first eligible on Wednesday. Across 284 plate appearances in 2026, Rutschman has hit .251/.331/.433 with eight home runs, 47 RBI, and 30 runs scored. The 28-year-old has walked in 10.6% of his plate appearances while posting just a 14.1% strikeout rate. However, he's posted just a 7.1% barrel rate, and his power could now be sapped even further if this current wrist issue lingers. With both Rutschman and Samuel Basallo (shoulder) on the injured list, the Orioles have turned to Chadwick Tromp and Yohel Pozo to handle their catching duties.

Jack Flaherty Expected to Miss More than 15 Days with Current Flexor Strain
Detroit Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said he expects starting pitcher Jack Flaherty (forearm) to miss "more than the minimum" 15 days with his current forearm injury, per Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic. Flaherty was placed on the 15-day injured list on July 21 due to right flexor inflammation. The veteran right-hander has yet to resume throwing, and it appears he could be facing an extended absence. Across 86 1/3 innings (19 starts) before the injury, Flaherty recorded a 3-8 record with a 4.59 ERA, 1.41 WHIP, and 102 strikeouts. The 30-year-old has maintained a strong 26.2% strikeout rate this season, but he's walked 10.8% of the batters he's faced and has allowed a 46.2% hard-hit rate. With Flaherty sidelined, Tigers right-hander Keider Montero has rejoined the team's starting rotation.

Tyler Glasnow Scheduled to Throw Live Bullpen Session on Wednesday
Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow (back) is scheduled to throw a second live bullpen session on Wednesday, per Katie Woo of The Athletic. Glasnow has been sidelined since early May due to lower back issues, but it appears as though he could be nearing a minor league rehab assignment. Across 39 2/3 innings (seven starts) before the injury, Glasnow recorded a 3-0 record with a 2.72 ERA, 0.83 WHIP, and 49 strikeouts. The oft-injured 32-year-old has basically never made it through a big-league season healthy, which limits his fantasy value. However, he remains an ultra-high-upside starting pitcher when healthy, as he's logged a K-BB rate above 24% in seven out of the last eight seasons. Once healthy, Glasnow profiles as a must-start pitcher who can provide short bursts of dominance for fantasy managers.

Will Smith Pain-Free, Has Resumed Baseball Activities
Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that catcher Will Smith (neck) is "pain-free" and has resumed baseball activities, per Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic. Smith is currently on the 60-day injured list and has not played since June 5 due to ongoing neck issues. However, it appears as though the 31-year-old is ramping up and could be close to going out on a minor league rehab assignment. Across 201 plate appearances before landing on the IL, Smith hit .249/.338/.382 with six home runs, 23 RBI, and 23 runs scored. While his numbers were below his usual standard, Smith may have been hampered by the neck troubles. The veteran catcher's underlying metrics remained strong, as he struck out in just 16.9% of his plate appearances while posting a 13.4% barrel rate. If Smith can make it back to full health, he profiles as a must-start fantasy catcher.

Blake Snell Set to Make Another Rehab Start on Wednesday
Los Angeles Dodgers left-hander Blake Snell (elbow) will make a rehab start with Single-A Ontario on Wednesday. This will be Snell's third appearance on his current rehab stint as he works his way back from elbow surgery. Thanks to both elbow and shoulder issues, the 33-year-old has thrown just three innings in the big leagues so far this season. However, recent reporting indicates that Snell is expected to throw about 60 pitches on Wednesday and could be activated by the Dodgers following the start, assuming he makes it through without any hiccups. Snell remains a high-end starting pitcher when healthy, as he recorded a 5-4 record with a 2.35 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, and 72 strikeouts across 61 1/3 innings (11 starts) for the Dodgers in 2025. As long as he can avoid injury over the final two months of the regular season, he carries league-winning upside for fantasy managers.

Byron Buxton Exits Early on Tuesday Due to Hip Soreness
Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton (hip) exited early from his team's game against the Kansas City Royals on Tuesday due to right-hip soreness, according to Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press. Buxton was hitless in two at-bats before being removed from the contest. Injuries have been a persistent problem in Buxton's career, as he's reached 400 plate appearances just twice in 11 MLB seasons (not including 2026). While he's largely been able to stay on the field so far this year, Buxton has already logged one stint on the injured list due to hip issues and now could be ticketed for a second. The 32-year-old remains a highly productive player when healthy, as he's hit .263/.320/.544 with 25 home runs, 45 RBI, 57 runs scored, and seven stolen bases across 362 plate appearances in 2026. If Buxton misses time, Twins outfielders Austin Martin and Alan Roden could both be in line for an increase in playing time.

Will Levis Competing for Backup Quarterback Job in Tennessee
Tennessee Titans head coach Robert Saleh said that quarterback Will Levis will get "every opportunity" to compete with veteran signal-caller Mitchell Trubisky for the team's QB2 role behind starting quarterback Cam Ward, per Turron Davenport of ESPN. A second-round pick by the Titans in 2023, Levis threw for 3,899 yards, 21 touchdowns, and 16 interceptions across 21 starts over his first two NFL seasons. After the Titans used the first overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft on Ward, Levis underwent shoulder surgery last July that sidelined him for the entirety of the 2025 campaign. While there has been some speculation that Levis could be on the Titans roster bubble heading into 2026, it appears as though the 27-year-old will at least get an opportunity to compete for a job. Still, Levis should be off the radar of fantasy managers in both redraft and dynasty leagues at this point in his career.

Wizards Showing Interest in DeMar DeRozan
The Washington Wizards are reportedly showing interest in free-agent forward DeMar DeRozan, according to Shams Charania. The organization has had some conversations with DeRozan over the last few days. The veteran forward appears to be drawing interest from multiple teams, but the Wizards are the newest one to join the ranks. The 36-year-old is trending down, but can still be a viable contributor in 2026. This past season, DeRozan averaged 18.4 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 4.1 assists across 31.2 minutes per game with the Sacramento Kings. The Wizards have rookie AJ Dybantsa and Anthony Davis at the forward spots, so DeRozan would probably come off the bench. There's some 9-category value here, but the Wizards aren't a great fit on paper for the veteran forward.

Brevin Jordan Back to Full Health Entering Training Camp
Houston Texans tight end Brevin Jordan (knee) is fully healthy entering training camp, per Jared Koch of Sports Illustrated. After suffering a season-ending torn ACL in Week 2 of the 2024 season, Jordan missed the entirety of 2025 due to a knee/lower leg injury that he suffered during a preseason practice. The 26-year-old flashed some upside in his last healthy season in 2023, recording 17 catches for 219 receiving yards and two touchdowns on 21 targets across 14 games (six starts). If he's able to stay healthy throughout camp and make the Texans roster, Jordan would be another mouth to feed in Houston's crowded tight end room. Veteran Dalton Schultz currently projects as the team's TE1, but Houston also has tight ends Foster Moreau, Cade Stover, and 2026 second-round pick Marlin Klein on its roster. Jordan should remain off the radar of fantasy managers for now, but he could be a name to monitor if he can put together a strong preseason.

Montez Sweat Placed on Non-Football Illness List
Chicago Bears defensive end Montez Sweat (illness) was placed on the Active/Non-Football Illness list on Tuesday. It does not appear that Sweat is battling a major illness, but he is expected to be away from the team for a few days. Across 17 games in 2025, the 29-year-old recorded 36 solo tackles, 13 TFLs, 10 sacks, and three forced fumbles. He's been highly durable in his NFL career, missing just one game over the past four seasons. Still, Sweat is a key piece of the Bears' defense against both the pass and the run, so it would make sense for the team to be extra cautious with him at this point in the summer. It seems unlikely that Sweat is in danger of missing any time, but fantasy managers should still monitor his status until he is fully cleared for training camp action.

Christian Koloko Inks Deal With Pelicans
The New Orleans Pelicans signed center Christian Koloko to a one-year deal on Tuesday, according to Michael Scotto. Koloko is a former second-round pick of the Toronto Raptors from 2022. He has bounced around to four different teams during his three years at the professional level. He played with three different organizations this past season and made a minimal impact during each stop. He figures to serve as a depth option who likely won't see the court unless a few injuries occur.

Vikings Sign Offensive Tackle Brian O'Neill to Four-Year Extension
The Minnesota Vikings signed offensive tackle Brian O'Neill to a four-year, $96 million contract extension on Tuesday, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. O'Neill is now under contract with the Vikings for the next five years. The 30-year-old veteran and two-time Pro Bowler has been a starter for the Vikes at right tackle since entering the league in 2018 as a second-round pick (62nd overall) from the University of Pittsburgh. O'Neill has been one of the team's most reliable offensive linemen and now gets rewarded for it. He will continue to anchor the Vikings' O-line in 2026 as their starting right tackle as they look to bounce back in 2026. O'Neill has started all but four of his 124 games played for Minnesota in the regular season in his eight years in the league.

Drew Allar Competing for the QB3 Role in Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy said that veteran quarterback Mason Rudolph will work with the second-team offense at the start of training camp, while rookie quarterback Drew Allar and 2025 sixth-rounder Will Howard will work with "other groups," per Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. A third-round pick out of Penn State, Allar is not expected to see much of the field in his rookie season as long as veteran Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers can stay healthy. However, it appears that Allar will also be behind Rudolph on the Steelers quarterback depth chart, at least at the start of camp. In redraft leagues, Allar is unlikely to provide fantasy-relevant production in 2026. Still, he remains a worthy dynasty stash through his rookie season, given the Steelers' obvious long-term need at quarterback once Rodgers retires.

Johni Broome Gets Traded to Clippers
Philadelphia 76ers forward Johni Broome was traded to the Los Angeles Clippers on Tuesday. Broome gets moved along with a second-round pick to the Clippers for cash considerations. This deal allows the 76ers to stay under the first and second aprons while signing LeBron James and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope. Broome made a minimal impact last season while playing in 11 games for the Sixers. The 24-year-old figures to serve as a depth option behind Brook Lopez, Isaiah Jackson, and Yanic Konan Niederhauser. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect Broome to see much time on the court unless a few injuries happen.

Packers Waive Kicker Lucas Havrisik
The Green Bay Packers waived kicker Lucas Havrisik on Tuesday, a source told Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. In a corresponding move, the Packers added kicker Lenny Krieg to their 90-man roster. It was believed that the 26-year-old Havrisik might keep the placekicker seat warm until rookie sixth-rounder Trey Smack was ready to take over. Kreig will now compete with Smack in training camp and the preseason. Havrisik made all four of his field-goal attempts and seven of his nine extra-point tries in just three regular-season games with the Packers last year in his second NFL season. In his rookie season with the Los Angeles Rams, he went 15-for-20 on field goals (2-for-3 from 50-plus yards) and 19-for-22 on extra points in nine games played. Fantasy managers will want to avoid Green Bay's kicking situation to begin the 2026 season.

Maxx Crosby "Ready to Go" for the Start of Training Camp
Las Vegas Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak said star edge rusher Maxx Crosby (knee) is "ready to go" and will get all the first-team reps when the team's training camp begins on Wednesday, per Ryan McFadden of ESPN. Crosby underwent knee surgery in January, and concerns around the recovery timeline for the surgery caused a proposed trade of Crosby to the Baltimore Ravens to fall through. However, it appears as though the 28-year-old is on track for full participation in training camp and remains a part of the Raiders' plans, at least for the time being. Across 15 games in 2025, Crosby recorded 28 TFLs, 10 sacks, and two forced fumbles. As long as he's on the field, he remains one of the most disruptive defenders in the NFL and profiles as a high-end option for fantasy managers in IDP leagues.

Draymond Green Staying in Golden State
The Golden State Warriors signed forward/center Draymond Green to a new contract on Tuesday. The two sides have agreed to a one-year, $27.7 million deal for the upcoming 2026-2027 season. Green declined his player option and entered free agency, likely to give the team extra money to pursue LeBron James. Now that James has signed with the Philadelphia 76ers, Green heads back to the Warriors on a deal worth the same as his player option. Green is entering his age-36 season and is showing signs of regression. He averaged 8.4 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 5.5 assists across 27.5 minutes per game in 68 contests last season. He could see a reduced role, but he should still be a significant part of the Warriors' rotation.

Jake Bobo Dealing With Leg Injury in Camp
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jake Bobo (leg) suffered a leg injury in training camp practice on Monday and was a spectator on Tuesday, according to Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune. It's unclear how serious the 27-year-old's injury is, but with it being early in camp, the Seahawks are likely being extra cautious with the fourth-year pass-catcher. Bobo caught just two passes for 20 yards in 11 regular-season games (zero starts) in 2025 after combining for 32 receptions, 303 yards, and three touchdowns in 34 games (three starts) in his first two years in the NFL. The former undrafted free agent from UCLA will be competing with second-year wideout Tory Horton and rookie Emmanuel Henderson for the WR4 role in Seattle during camp and the preseason, behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Rashid Shaheed, and veteran Cooper Kupp. Most likely, Bobo will make more of an impact on special teams again in 2026 if he remains on the team's 53-man active roster. Bobo can be ignored in the vast majority of fantasy football leagues.

Caleb Douglas Cleared for Training Camp
Miami Dolphins head coach Jeff Hafley confirmed that rookie wide receiver Caleb Douglas (undisclosed) has been cleared for the start of training camp, per Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN. Douglas suffered a minor injury during the team's mandatory minicamp, but it appears he is over the ailment and ready to go. A third-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, Douglas recorded 54 catches for 846 yards and seven touchdowns across 14 games in his final collegiate season at Texas Tech. The 22-year-old could have a chance to be an immediate contributor in a Miami wide receiver room that is currently led by the uninspiring veteran trio of Jalen Tolbert, Tutu Atwell, and Malik Washington. If Douglas puts together a productive training camp and preseason, his fantasy value will likely soar over the course of the summer.

Tim Patrick Comes Off PUP List on Tuesday
New York Jets veteran wide receiver Tim Patrick (undisclosed) was activated from the Physically Unable to Perform list on Tuesday, a source told Connor Hughes of SNY. It's unclear why the Jets placed Patrick on the PUP list to begin with last weekend, but the 32-year-old is ready to rejoin his teammates at training camp this week. The former undrafted free agent out of Utah will be WR depth in 2026 in his first year with Gang Green behind Garrett Wilson, Adonai Mitchell, and rookie Omar Cooper Jr. Patrick has six years of NFL experience, but at this point in his career after suffering a torn ACL and a torn Achilles tendon in back-to-back seasons in 2022 and 2023, he's not much more than an experienced possession wideout. He caught a career-low 15 passes on 24 targets for 187 yards and three touchdowns in 16 regular-season games (three starts) last year in a crowded Jacksonville Jaguars WR room. Patrick could have a clearer path to a role in 2026 with the Jets, but it's still not enough to make him relevant in standard-sized fantasy leagues.

Denzel Ward, Browns Agree to New Two-Year Extension
Cleveland Browns Pro Bowl cornerback Denzel Ward and the team agreed to a two-year, $62.2 million contract extension on Tuesday that makes him the highest-paid defensive back in NFL history for the second time in his career, according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. The deal includes $52.3 million guaranteed. The 29-year-old former fourth overall pick in 2018 out of Ohio State has made the Pro Bowl five times in his eight NFL seasons, including in each of the last three years. He had 39 tackles (29 solo), one interception, and nine pass breakups in 15 starts for the Browns last year, and he has 18 total interceptions in 110 games played (107 starts). Ward was limited during mandatory minicamp last month with a neck injury, but he looks to be fully healthy now and ready to roll for the start of his ninth year in the league in early September.

Clyde Edwards-Helaire Works Out With Dolphins
Former Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire worked out with the Miami Dolphins on Tuesday, according to NFL.com. Edwards-Helaire was selected with the final pick of the first round by the Chiefs in 2020 from LSU, and he impressed with 803 rushing yards and four touchdowns in 13 starts as a rookie. However, the 27-year-old has never been able to recapture that form. After a short two-game stint with the New Orleans Saints in 2024, CEH returned to KC last season, only to carry the ball seven times for 13 yards and catch two passes for nine yards. He has not seen 100 carries in a season since his second year in the league with the Chiefs, and if he were to sign in Miami, he'd merely be fighting for a spot on the active 53-man roster behind starter De'Von Achane, Jaylen Wright, and Ollie Gordon II. Edwards-Helaire is completely off the fantasy radar for the 2026 season, even in deep dynasty/keeper leagues.

Colts Still Mulling Options at Wide Receiver
The Indianapolis Colts are still mulling their options at the wide receiver position after players reported to training camp on Tuesday, according to Stephen Holder of ESPN. The Colts have yet to replace Michael Pittman Jr., who was traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers in the offseason, and new WR1 Alec Pierce (ankle) is on the Physically Unable to Perform list to start camp after having offseason ankle surgery. General manager Chris Ballard will continue to evaluate the current WR group before making a decision on whether to add a veteran such as Deebo Samuel Sr., Keenan Allen, or Stefon Diggs. "At some point we'll evaluate it as we go along," Ballard said. "We'll probably talk through some of those [available] guys." Until Pierce can return, Josh Downs will operate as Indy's WR1, with Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Ashton Dulin, Anthony Gould, and rookie Deion Burks, among others, getting more opportunities to stand out in camp.

Marvin Harrison Jr. Being Treated as Primary WR1 in Arizona's Offense
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. has been the team's main receiver on the field in 13-personnel packages in his return to training camp practice on Tuesday, not Michael Wilson, according to Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic. Harrison didn't finish Sunday's practice due to cramps and was held out on Monday, but the 23-year-old is back on Tuesday and is fine. There has been some noise this offseason that the former fourth overall pick could face competition for the WR1 role in 2026 from Wilson after his breakout 2025 campaign. This report will quiet some of that noise, but Harrison is going to need to stay healthy and perform to earn the trust of new head coach Mike LaFleur as he heads into his third year in the NFL. Harrison has been a first-round bust so far after his first two seasons, catching 103 of 189 targets for 1,493 yards and 12 touchdowns. He had a 41-608-4 line in just 12 games in 2025, creating buy-low opportunities in both redraft and dynasty/keeper formats. Despite disappointing in his first two seasons, Harrison is worth the lowered cost as a WR3/flex with plenty of bounce-back potential.
