Coming off underwhelming performances across the pond, Justin Thomas needs to find some momentum this week at the Wyndham Championship to get inside the top 30 on the FedEx Cup points list. His play on and around the green has been serviceable all season, but the ball striking has fluctuated, which is the explanation for his time in the UK. Considering the shot-making required around Sedgefield, it seems like a place tailor-made for JT, but it's only resulted in one decent performance (T12 in 2023) in four career appearances. Still, the 33-year-old has as high a ceiling as anyone, considering his proficiency in his wedge game and short iron play. Part of which ranks second on the season in strokes gained around the green (0.532). For those looking for home run hitters in the regular season finale, Thomas makes reasonable sense. --Todd McGill

It's been a poor run for Aaron Rai lately, as the PGA Championship winner has missed his last two cuts from both poor putting and underwhelming play from tee to green. He'll be making his fifth career start at this week's Wyndham Championship, where he won in 2024. The approach play, while normally the Englishman's bread and butter, has been in a slump over the past several weeks. A return to a familiar place full of good memories may be good for a formidable playoff push, especially since Sedgefield will provide all the opportunities needed to get a handle on the iron play. As far as DFS recommendations go, it's more of a decision between what he's known to be capable of and what he's shown recently. Because right now, the ceiling seems as high as the floor is low.--Todd McGill

Sitting at 86th on the FedEx Cup list, Brooks Koepka needs a solid week in Greensboro to sneak his way inside the top 70. It's been strange seeing him waiting at tour events to get in as an alternate, but it could be the reality again in 2027 if he doesn't find some form come Thursday. The ball striking off the tee has stuttered in recent events, and the putter has never found its rhythm all season long. The one saving grace is that he still ranks highly in his approach play across the board. If the driver can return to a usable form, his eighth-ranked strokes gained on approach metric will have plenty of opportunities to flex its muscle. From there, the question is if he can make enough putts to capitalize. The 36-year-old screams boom-or-bust, which is likely the strategy he will employ, and DFS managers will have to weigh the risk vs. the potential reward. And no one would be surprised if Koepka found a spark this week.--Todd McGill

New York Giants 25-year-old tight end Theo Johnson put together a nice season in 2025, hauling in 45 of his 74 targets for 528 receiving yards and five touchdowns. He had a 16.7 percent target share, was eighth in red zone targets, 7th in average target distance, and seventh in snap share. The opportunities were there for him, but much was left on the table as he averaged only 8.5 fantasy points per game, which was 22nd amongst tight ends. To make matters worse for Johnson, the Giants brought in Isaiah Likely over from Baltimore, who has been a fantasy sleeper for many experts over the past few seasons but has never panned out. At this moment, Likely projects to be the team's No.1 tight end and potentially the No. 2 passing option in this offense that is dealing with Malik Nabers (knee) recovering from an injury, and a mediocre wide receiver room that includes Odell Beckham Jr., Darnell Mooney, Calvin Austin, JuJu Smith-Schuster, and Malachi Fields. Johnson is off the radar in most redraft formats, but could be a decent buy-low option in dynasty if things with Likely don't work out, and it probably wouldn't take much to get him on your roster.--Nicho Roessler

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that starting pitcher Carlos Rodon (elbow) is expected to make a minor league rehab start on Saturday, according to Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News. The veteran left-hander has been on the injured list since late June due to elbow inflammation. He also missed the beginning of the 2026 season after undergoing offseason elbow surgery, so he's thrown just 46 1/3 innings (nine starts) on the year. However, Rodon has been effective when healthy, recording a 4-2 record with a 3.30 ERA, 1.25 WHIP, and 52 strikeouts. Rodon's spotty command and questionable health track record are both concerns for fantasy managers. However, he remains an above-average source of strikeouts who has shown he can put together dominant stretches in the big leagues. With his return to the Yankees rotation potentially imminent, Rodon profiles as a priority waiver wire stash in leagues where he is available.--Will Brady

Buffalo Bills 2026 fourth-round pick out of UConn, Skyler Bell, tested well at the NFL Combine, which earned him a fourth-round pick in the NFL draft. He ranked in the 91st percentile in the 40-yard dash, 98th percentile in the burst score, 95th percentile in the agility score, and 96th percentile in catch radius. In his final year at UConn, he burst onto the scene, hauling in 101 of his 144 targets for 1,278 yards (12.7 YPR) and 13 touchdowns. He finds himself playing with one of, if not the best, quarterbacks in the NFL in Josh Allen. Bell finds himself in a crowded wide receiver room and will be competing for targets between 29-year-old DJ Moore, 26-year-old Khalil Shakir, 26-year-old Joshua Palmer, and 23-year-old Keon Coleman. With Coleman finding himself in the doghouse multiple times in 2025 and looking like a bust after being drafted 33rd overall in the 2024 draft, Bell could work his way into the third wide receiver option for Allen. That being said, Bell profiles as more of a Z receiver, moving around and lining up in the slot, which profiles similarly to Shakir's game, and Shakir is one of Allen's go-to targets. Allen has been known to distribute the wealth amongst all his pass catchers in his career, and reports from camp have suggested that the Bills want to get superstar James Cook III more involved in the passing game as well. Bell profiles as a dynasty stash for the time being.--Nicho Roessler

Toronto Blue Jays manager John Schneider said that starting pitcher Jose Soriano will make his debut with the team on Friday against the Philadelphia Phillies, according to Shi Davidi of Sportsnet. Toronto acquired Soriano from the Los Angeles Angels in exchange for three prospects on Monday. The 27-year-old has had a strong 2026 season to this point, recording a 9-6 record with a 3.29 ERA, 1.25 WHIP, and 127 strikeouts across 123 innings (22 starts). Soriano struggles with command (11.2% walk rate), but he generates ground balls with his power sinker and is very difficult to take deep (0.88 HR/9). He also brings plus velocity with his fastballs, so Toronto may be able to help unlock a new level of strikeout production from its new right-hander.--Will Brady

Cleveland Guardians left-hander Foster Griffin will make his first start with the team on Thursday against the New York Mets, per Tim Stebbins of MLB.com. The Guardians acquired Griffin from the Washington Nationals on Monday in exchange for four minor leaguers. After three years of pitching in Japan, Griffin returned to the big leagues this season and was having a breakout year with Washington. Across 129 1/3 innings (22 starts) before the trade, he recorded a 12-3 record with a 3.06 ERA, 1,07 WHIP, and 116 strikeouts. The 31-year-old is averaging just 91.5 miles per hour on his fastball and has logged a middling 22.1% strikeout rate on the year. However, he limits walks (5.7% walk rate) and generates ground balls at a solid clip. In Cleveland, Griffin should remain a quality innings eater who offers solid win potential for fantasy managers.--Will Brady

Pittsburgh Steelers 24-year-old tight end out of Georgia, Darnell Washington, has a massive frame, standing tall at 6'7", 264 lbs., and has shown more involvement in the offense since his rookie campaign, but simply isn't a focal point in this Steelers offense. In 2025, he hauled in 31 of his 43 targets for 364 yards and one touchdown. While his target rate is elite (23.8 percent), his target share (nine percent) is not. He simply isn't seeing the volume and route participation (34 percent) that it takes to be fantasy relevant. 27-year-old Pat Freiermuth projects to be the team's starting tight end and has been involved in the offense much more than Washington, as they've spent the last three seasons on the same team. Additionally, the Steelers brought in Michael Pittman over from Indianapolis, which should only make it more difficult for Washington to see an increase in target share. Fantasy managers will want to look elsewhere at the tight end position when drafting in both dynasty and redraft formats.--Nicho Roessler

Seattle Mariners utility man Brendan Donovan (groin) was activated from the injured list on Tuesday, per Daniel Kramer of MLB.com. Donovan started at third base and batted seventh in his first game back against the Detroit Tigers. The 29-year-old has missed most of the 2026 season due to groin injuries. After initial hitting the injured list in mid-April, Donovan returned in early May before promptly going back on the IL in mid-May. Across 101 plate appearances on the year, Donovan is hitting .274/.386/.452 with three home runs, eight RBI, and nine runs scored. The lefty swinger is unlikely to provide much pop or speed, but he's an above-average source of batting average whose ability to get on base should keep him in the lineup and help him rack up counting stats. In deeper leagues Donovan is worth targeting on the waiver wire as quality roster depth.--Will Brady

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Anddei Iosivas has spent his three-year career with the Bengals and, through three seasons, has yet to top 500 yards in a single season. Iosivas was a sixth-round pick in the 2023 NFL draft, and while he has 12 touchdowns over the past three years, he simply isn't involved in the offensive game plan behind superstar Ja'Marr Chase, standout receiver Tee Higgins, and running back Chase Brown in this Joe Burrow-led offense. In 2025, he had a 9.6 percent target share (89th among WRs), a 77.7 percent route participation (50th among WRs), and 40 first-read targets (65th among WRs). Because of that, his productivity and efficiency followed suit, ranking 96th in targets per route run and 93rd in first downs per route run. The only value Iosivas has is if Chase or Higgins were to miss any time. Fantasy managers will want to fade the 26-year-old receiver in their upcoming drafts in both dynasty and redraft formats.--Nicho Roessler

An MRI confirmed that San Francisco Giants third baseman Matt Chapman (abdomen) is dealing with a core muscle injury, per Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News. Delos Santos reports that Chapman is set to see a specialist next week for a "full evaluation." If Chapman requires core muscle surgery, he could be ruled out for the remainder of the 2026 season. The 33-year-old has not played since late June due to what was first deemed to be an abdominal strain. Given that San Francisco is not in playoff contention and Chapman is under contract through 2030, the team has little incentive to push him back out onto the field. Across 352 plate appearances on the year, Chapman has hit .235/.324/.368 with seven home runs, 42 RBI, and 35 runs scored. Given his uncertain health status, redraft managers are likely safe to move on from Chapman.--Will Brady

The Tennessee Titans' fifth-round running back out of Penn State during the 2026 NFL draft enters training camp as the team's No. 3 running back behind 29-year-old Tony Pollard and 25-year-old Tyjae Spears. Singleton tested well at the combine, with a 4.50 40-yard dash (76th percentile) and ranked in the 86th percentile in speed score. Singleton spent all four seasons at Penn State and rushed for over 1,000 yards twice and scored 10-plus touchdowns in each season. He also became more involved in the passing game as he got older, seeing his 4.7 percent target share in 2022 rise to 12.1 percent in 2024 and 10 percent in 2025. Both Pollard and Spears have been the running backs for the Titans the last few seasons, and while Pollard remains consistent, rushing for over 1,000 yards in each of his two seasons with the Titans, he remains a guy with a safe floor but not much upside. Spears finds himself as more of the pass-catching option out of the backfield, and the path for Singleton to provide immediate fantasy value in 2026 feels bleak, but considering neither runner ahead of him projects as a star player, it does open a window of opportunity in the future. Singleton has the size and athleticism to be a three-down back with receiving upside, and is worth a stash in dynasty formats for the time being.--Nicho Roessler

Miami Marlins President of Baseball Operations Peter Bendix said that catcher Agustin Ramirez will play both behind the plate and at first base going forward, according to Kevin Barral of Fish on First. The Marlins recalled Ramirez from Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday after trading catcher/first baseman Liam Hicks to the Tampa Bay Rays at the trade deadline. Ramirez was demoted to Triple-A in early May, mostly due to his poor defensive metrics as a catcher. While it appears that Miami could be priming him for a full-time position switch, Ramirez will still see occasional catching duties now that he's back in the big leagues. The 24-year-old hit 21 home runs and 16 stolen bases across 585 plate appearances with Miami in 2025, so he carries a rare combination of power and speed for a catcher. Ramirez's fantasy value is tightly connected to his ability to retain catcher eligibility.--Will Brady

New York Knicks forward Mohamed Diawara (finger) has resumed on-court workouts and is expected to be ready for the beginning of training camp in September. Diawara injured his finger during the Summer League, which required him to undergo surgery. It sounds worse than it is, with Diawara already back to doing basketball activities. Last season, Diawara averaged 3.6 points, 1.4 rebounds, and 0.8 assists in 9.2 minutes per game across 69 contests. He figures to be part of the rotation, but Diawara is unlikely to see enough playing time to warrant looking at in fantasy formats.--Andy Webb

Former Eagles, Cardinals, and Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz (knee) has been cleared for football activities and wants to play in the 2026 season, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Ertz suffered a torn ACL in his right knee during Week 14 last season, marking his second ACL tear. He was seen catching passes from former Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck at Stanford, where they played together in 2010 and 2011. If Ertz suits up for the 2026 season, he will be 36 years old, in his 14th NFL season, and coming off a late-season ACL injury that looked gruesome. Fantasy managers should lower expectations for the veteran tight end. While we're unclear about any exact landing spots for Ertz in 2026, wherever he goes will have fantasy implications that affect fantasy drafts this season.--Nathan Harvey

The Toronto Raptors signed guard/forward Andre Jackson Jr. to a training-camp deal on Tuesday. According to Michael Scotto, this is a camp deal and isn't a guaranteed contract for next season. Jackson will need to prove himself during training camp to land a spot on the final roster. Last season, Jackson averaged 2.4 points, 1.5 rebounds, and 0.9 assists in 8.5 minutes per game across 48 contests with the Milwaukee Bucks. He has spent each of the last three seasons with the Bucks, but he saw a significantly reduced role this past season. The 24-year-old still has potential to be a decent contributor, so we'll see if he can snag a bench role during camp. Even if he makes the roster, fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to be fantasy-relevant.--Andy Webb

New York Giants wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee) did not participate in Tuesday's practice with a knee issue. Head coach John Harbaugh said Smith-Schuster's injury is not expected to be long-term and that he is dealing with some swelling. Smith-Schuster, entering his 10th NFL season, is coming off a season in which he had 33 receptions for 345 yards and one touchdown. He is competing with multiple receivers on the Giants roster, including Odell Beckham Jr., Braxton Berrios, and others. The veteran receiver hopes this knee issue is resolved soon, as any missed practice or preseason time could be detrimental to his chances of making the roster.--Nathan Harvey

The Portland Trail Blazers were rumored to be interested in signing free-agent DeMar DeRozan this offseason. According to Marc Stein, the Blazers are not exploring bringing in the veteran forward at this moment. The 36-year-old doesn't seem like he would be a great fit in Portland given their surplus of perimeter players. Even with Portland out of the sweepstakes, DeRozan is still reportedly drawing interest from the Heat, Nuggets, Wizards, and Cavaliers. Last season, DeRozan averaged 18.4 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 4.1 assists across 31.2 minutes per game in 77 contests with the Sacramento Kings. He's not the focal point of an offense anymore, but DeRozan could still help a contending team next season.--Andy Webb

Arizona Cardinals running back Trey Benson (knee) returned to practice on Tuesday after a flare-up last week, according to head coach Mike LaFleur. Benson is coming off a 2025 season in which he missed most of the year following meniscus surgery in October. The 2024 third-round pick is on the roster bubble, competing for touches with third-overall pick Jeremiyah Love, Tyler Allgeier, and former starter James Conner. Benson is a trade candidate, as his current RB4 role is well below his talent level. Fantasy managers will need to monitor the former Florida State running back's status heading into 2026, as he could offer late-round appeal if traded to the right situation.--Nathan Harvey

Denver Broncos wide receiver Pat Bryant has stood out so far at the team's training camp as he hopes to win the WR3 job. The 2025 third-round pick began to take over as the team's WR2 toward the end of the season, playing over 60% of the snaps in three of the last four games. Now, with Jaylen Waddle in Denver and expected to be a lead receiver alongside Courtland Sutton, Bryant will have to fend off Troy Franklin and Marvin Mims Jr. to be fantasy relevant in 2026. However, head coach Sean Payton is expected to use different packages that include all three receivers. Bryant is ranked WR76 in RotoBaller's rankings and should be considered with late-round picks in fantasy this season.--Nathan Harvey

Portland Trail Blazers guard Jrue Holiday was rumored to be possibly leaving the organization this summer. According to Jake Fischer, the Blazers have no plans to buy out Holiday from his contract. There was speculation that Holiday would head to the Philadelphia 76ers, assuming he was able to secure a buyout from Portland. That won't happen, as the Blazers intend to keep Holiday around despite having a boatload of guards. This past season, Holiday averaged 16.3 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 6.1 assists across 29.4 minutes per game in 53 games. It could be more difficult for Holiday to secure consistent playing time this upcoming season. The Blazers acquired Ja Morant earlier this offseason, and Damian Lillard is fully healthy again. Portland also has Scoot Henderson and Shaedon Sharpe, so Portland has too many mouths to feed. The aging veterans, such as Holiday and Lillard, are likely to see a reduction in playing time this upcoming season.--Andy Webb

Cleveland Browns rookie wide receiver Denzel Boston has had a strong training camp so far in 2026. The second-round pick from the University of Washington has been among the most talked-about players in camp through five practices, showcasing his contested-catch ability and knack for winning 50/50 balls. He has also developed solid chemistry with young quarterback Shedeur Sanders, who is battling for the starting quarterback job. While he's currently in a crowded receiver room with Jerry Jeudy, Isaiah Bond, and rookie first-round pick KC Concepcion, Boston offers something none of those receivers have, size. Boston is currently going off the board as the WR60 and could flirt with being the team's outside receiver if he can continue to perform in camp.--Nathan Harvey

Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders worked with the first-team offense for the third time in training camp and had his best day with that group. Sanders was on target, made high-level throws, and outplayed Deshaun Watson, who was reportedly inconsistent and struggled with accuracy on Tuesday. Watson entered as the favorite to win the Browns' starting job, but it appears the tides are turning in the second-year quarterback's favor. The Browns open the regular season against the Jacksonville Jaguars and will have a decision by then. Until then, Sanders will need to remain on point and defy the odds to keep the starting job.--Nathan Harvey

Florida wide receiver Dallas Wilson (foot) missed the team's first four and final four games of the 2025 season due to separate right and left foot injuries, but the rising sophomore is viewed as fully healthy entering 2026. However, head coach Jon Sumrall said the program will be cautious with him during fall practices to ensure he's full-go when the regular season begins. Wilson flashed big-time upside in the first game of his career against No. 9 Texas, catching six passes for 111 yards and two touchdowns. He caught just six passes over his final three games, but his talent was evident in a limited showing. The Gators have a talent-stacked wide receiver room, headlined by Wilson, Eric Singleton Jr., and Vernell Brown III, but their quarterback position is a major question mark as Aaron Philo and Tramell Jones Jr. compete for the starting job ahead of the Week 1 meeting with Florida Atlantic.--Jackson Sparks - RotoBaller

Frazier should be in for his best season yet, and he'll continue to operate as the lead back, with Chauncy Bowens filling in behind him.

Despite the injury early in the game, Davison rushed 15 times and scored two touchdowns. He did not play in the loss to Indiana. The sophomore running back has the potential to be a breakout star this season after tallying a respectable stat line of 113 carries for 667 yards and 15 touchdowns as a true freshman. Although Dierre Hill Jr. is expected to have a significant role, Davison should remain the team's primary back in short-yardage situations, meaning more touchdowns in bunches.--Jackson Sparks - RotoBaller

After a T10 finish in Minnesota two weeks ago, Michael Kim followed it up with a T8 this past Sunday in Detroit. The ball striking wasn't nearly as crisp, but the hot putter that added his name to the list of players to shoot a 59 returned to average 1.58 strokes gained putting at the Rocket Classic. He's making the start in the tour's regular season finale this week at the Wyndham Championship, where a lone T5 finish in 2023 is the one bright spot for what has been an otherwise poor venue for the 33-year-old. The inconsistent ball striking that lingers in his game has been his undoing around Sedgefield, but a strong putter can overcome many woes. It certainly did last week, and the thought of relying on that in a DFS format may be too much risk for most. --Todd McGill

In the limited run of events Ben James has played in down the back stretch of the season, he has shown enough talent to suggest he can succeed on the PGA Tour. He's coming off a T38 at the Rocket Classic, where he had climbed into the top 15 through 54 holes before a disappointing 73 on Sunday plummeted him down the leaderboard. From the small sample size we've seen from the 23-year-old, the couple of standout points of his game seem to be his accuracy and putting prowess, which will aid him well this week at Sedgefield for the Wyndham Championship. Over his last five starts, James has averaged 0.482 strokes gained on the greens and has found over 70% of his greens and fairways since his pro debut. He's got a ton of learning left to do, but he already checks enough boxes to be a worthy start this week.--Todd McGill

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Jordan Walker (knee) has been scratched from Tuesday's starting lineup against the New York Yankees in the Bronx due to right-knee inflammation, according to Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. With Walker sitting out, Nelson Velazquez will start in right field for the Red Birds and will bat cleanup against Yankees left-hander Ryan Weathers. Until we know more about Walker's condition, the 24-year-old right-handed power hitter will be deemed day-to-day. Fantasy managers will be crossing their fingers that it's not a serious injury that will send the former first-rounder to the injured list, as he's been one of the most valuable outfielders in the game in what has been a breakout campaign for him in 2026. Walker entered Tuesday's action with a .285/.343/.491 slash line, .834 OPS, 22 home runs, 81 RBI, 14 stolen bases, and 68 runs scored in 111 games across 475 plate appearances. While Walker has still been valuable all year, he has just seven home runs in June and July compared to 15 long balls in the first two months of the year. Check back on Walker's status on Wednesday.--Keith Hernandez
