Seaver King Promoted to Triple-A, In Play for 2026 MLB Debut?
Washington Nationals shortstop prospect Seaver King has been promoted to Triple-A Rochester, per Spencer Nusbaum of The Athletic. King got off to an excellent start to the 2026 season at Double-A, hitting .336/.427/.562 with five home runs, 27 RBI, 33 runs scored, and five stolen bases across 165 plate appearances. A former first-round pick, King turned 23 years old in April and is now just one level away from the big leagues. Washington has C.J. Abrams entrenched at shortstop, but Nationals second baseman Nasim Nunez currently owns a .519 OPS across 158 plate appearances and could be better served in a bench role. If King continues to rake at Triple-A, he could be in play for a promotion to the big leagues at some point this summer.

Drew Allar Working as QB4 in First OTA Session
Pittsburgh Steelers rookie quarterback Drew Allar (ankle) worked as the fourth QB on Monday in the team's first OTA session, behind Aaron Rodgers, Will Howard, and Mason Rudolph, according to ESPN's Brooke Pryor. Allar, who was the team's third-round pick in April's NFL draft, had surgery last November following a broken left ankle that ended his final season at Penn State in 2025. The 22-year-old has apparently fully recovered from his ankle injury. With Rodgers officially back in the Steel City for one more go-around in his 22nd NFL campaign, the 6-foot-5, 228-pound Allar will open his first year in the NFL buried on Pittsburgh's QB depth chart. New head coach Mike McCarthy is trying to build Allar's mechanics from the ground up after he played in a Nittany Lions system that wasn't tailored at all towards the next level. It's going to take some time for Allar in Pittsburgh, so anyone looking to draft him in dynasty/keeper leagues needs to be willing to play the long game.

Aaron Rodgers Reports to Steelers Facilities on Monday
After signing a one-year deal to return to the Pittsburgh Steelers over the weekend, veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers reported to the team's facilities on Monday morning, according to Brooke Pryor of ESPN. Rodgers was one of the first people in the building before 7 am. He will be on the practice field to start the week for the first OTA practice. The 42-year-old future Hall of Famer is back for his 22nd season in the NFL after throwing for 3,322 yards, 24 touchdowns, and seven interceptions in 16 regular-season starts in 2025 in his first year in the Steel City. Rodgers led the team to a 10-6 record and into the playoffs, but they were embarrassed by a strong Houston Texans defense in the wild-card round of the postseason. After long-time head coach Mike Tomlin stepped away, Rodgers will reunite with Mike McCarthy, with whom he won a Super Bowl in Green Bay. The Steelers added receiver Michael Pittman Jr. in a trade and took rookie Germie Bernard in the second round, but that shouldn't really change the fact that Rodgers is still a low-upside QB2 for fantasy managers in superflex leagues in what will likely be the final year of his storied NFL career.

Mick Abel Resumes Throwing, Worth Stashing Off the Waiver Wire?
Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Mick Abel (elbow, triceps) has been on the injured list since mid-April after first experiencing elbow inflammation and then feeling soreness in his triceps after a bullpen session. However, Abel has reportedly returned to playing catch and could once again be progressing towards a return to the Twins rotation. The 24-year-old got off to a strong start to 2026 before getting injured, pitching to a 3.98 ERA with 23 strikeouts across 20 1/3 innings (four starts). Abel was particularly impressive in his final two outings prior to going on the IL, recording 16 strikeouts over 13 scoreless innings against the Boston Red Sox and Detroit Tigers. Abel will likely need at least a couple of rehab outings before returning to Minnesota, so he remains a ways away from stepping back on the big league mound. Still, the young right-hander offers significant upside when healthy and could be worth stashing off the waiver wire in deeper leagues.

Saints Remain Non-Committal on Alvin Kamara's Future
New Orleans Saints general manager Mickey Loomis remains non-committal publicly on the status of running back Alvin Kamara, according to Luke Johnson of the New Orleans Times-Picayune. "We're just trying to see how he's gonna fit on our roster. Obviously, there's a resource management element. We'll get to that over the next week or two," Loomis said. The 30-year-old Kamara finished the 2025 season on Injured Reserve due to a knee injury, and there have been rumors this offseason that he's considering hanging up his cleats after nine years in the NFL (all with the Saints). However, the five-time Pro Bowler recently said he's excited to work with new RB Travis Etienne Jr., suggesting that he wants to continue his career in the Big Easy in 2026. If Kamara continues playing and the Saints keep him, they will most likely adjust his $10.4 million salary cap number. He's in the final year of his current deal and has missed 13 games due to injuries in the last three seasons, which is why the team upgraded with Etienne. If Kamara plays in 2026, his fantasy stock is going to take a major hit in all formats. RotoBaller currently has him ranked as the No. 59 RB in half-PPR leagues.

Is Mike Burrows Still Worth Targeting on the Waiver Wire in Deeper Leagues?
Houston Astros starting pitcher Mike Burrows had a rough outing in his most recent appearance on Thursday against the Seattle Mariners, allowing eight hits and seven earned runs across 5 2/3 innings of work. The 26-year-old's overall line in his first season in Houston isn't pretty either, as he's recorded a 2-5 record with a 5.72 ERA, 1.53 WHIP, and 46 strikeouts across 50 1/3 innings (nine starts). However, Burrows looked like he might be figuring some things out before his most recent hiccup. Across three starts leading into the Seattle game, Burrows allowed just five earned runs while striking out 17 across 18 innings. The right-hander's 3.92 xERA suggests he has run into some bad luck so far this season after he recorded a 3.94 ERA and 1.24 WHIP across 96 1/3 innings with the Pittsburgh Pirates in 2025. In deeper leagues, Burrows could have buy-low appeal on the waiver wire ahead of his next scheduled start on Wednesday in Minnesota against the Twins.

Saints Continue to Work on Extension With Chris Olave
When asked about whether there is a timeline to get something done with wide receiver Chris Olave, New Orleans Saints general manager Mickey Loomis said, "Obviously we'd love to have something done sooner than later, and I'm sure Chris would as well, but we're not there yet," according to Katherine Terrell of ESPN. Loomis added that talks with Olave on a potential long-term contract extension have been good, and Olave has been around the building a lot this offseason, which is a good sign. The 25-year-old former 11th overall pick in 2022 out of Ohio State is heading into the final year of his rookie contract after the Saints picked up his $15.49 million fifth-year option for the 2026 season. Olave played in only eight games due to a concussion in 2024, but he bounced back with career highs in catches (100), receiving yards (1,163), and touchdowns (nine) in 16 starts in 2025 in his fourth year in the league. If the Saints eventually give Olave an extension, he's expected to demand around $33 million per year. Going into 2026 with quarterback Tyler Shough locked in as the starter, Olave is trending up in fantasy football and should be considered a low-end WR1/high-end WR2 target in drafts this fall.

Is Braxton Garrett a Worthy Buy-Low Waiver-Wire Target?
Miami Marlins starting pitcher Braxton Garrett had a rough outing in his first big league start of 2026 on Thursday, allowing five earned runs and five walks in just 1 1/3 innings of work against the Minnesota Twins. After missing the entire 2025 season due to elbow surgery, Garrett opened 2026 in Triple-A. With Marlins left-hander Robby Snelling (elbow) recently hitting the injured list, Garrett appears to have an extended runway to re-establish his place in the Miami rotation. While Garrett's start against Minnesota was obviously not ideal, he pitched to a 2.30 ERA and a 0.80 WHIP with a 26.2% strikeout rate across 31 1/3 minor league innings before getting called up. The 28-year-old also has a track record of MLB success, logging a 3.66 ERA and a 1.15 WHIP with 156 strikeouts across 159 2/3 innings in his last full big-league season in 2023. In deeper leagues, Garrett could be a worthy buy-low pitcher to target on the waiver wire for fantasy managers.

More Motivation to Stash James Tibbs III Amid Latest Surge?
Los Angeles Dodgers outfield prospect James Tibbs III is back in the headlines amidst an explosive four-game stint at Triple-A. Over his last four games, he's hitting 9-for-16 with two doubles, a triple, eight RBI, eight walks, and just two strikeouts. He has an absurd .708 OBP during that span, and he continues to demonstrate a blend of power and speed while limiting strikeouts. In total this season, he's slashing .314/.422/.616 with 11 home runs, a 15.5% walk rate, a 24.8% strikeout rate, and 162 wRC+. If he were in any other farm system, he'd likely be in the majors by now, but since the Dodgers have so much star power in the majors, there's no rush to call him up. With that being said, his tremendous performances at the plate will force the Dodgers' hand sooner rather than later. Managers should get ahead of his eventual debut by stashing him in fantasy baseball now. He is already rostered in 3% of leagues, and he ranks #12 among outfield prospects in RotoBaller's latest redraft rankings.

Carson Williams Worth Picking Up Following Recent Promotion?
Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Carson Williams was recently promoted for his second stint in the majors this season. Although he was hitting just .238 in Triple-A, fantasy managers should still consider rostering him because of his power upside. Williams homered five times across 32 Triple-A games this year, salvaging a 93 wRC+. His 30.% strikeout rate is problematic, but he did walk at a 12.1% clip. There's no denying that he hits the ball hard with power, as evidenced by his 111.4 mph maximum exit velocity (85th percentile) and 10.4% barrel rate (80th percentile). Still available in almost every fantasy league, Williams represents an intriguing waiver wire pick-up for managers seeking a power surge. He could get into the lineup on Monday against Orioles left-handed pitcher Trevor Rogers.

Jasson Dominguez Feeling Better, Increasing his Activities
New York Yankees outfielder Jasson Dominguez (shoulder) is doing better after receiving a platelet-rich plasma injection, according to the New York Daily News' Gary Phillips. Domiguez has been swinging in the pool and working out in the weight room as he works his way back from an AC joint sprain in his left shoulder that he suffered during an outstanding catch when he crashed into the outfield wall back on May 7. The 23-year-old had a PRP shot on May 13 and is trending in the right direction, but the Martian isn't expected to be ready to come off the 10-day injured list until early June, at the earliest. Veteran outfielder/designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton (calf) is also on the IL, so rookie outfielder Spencer Jones has been playing regularly in the Bronx against right-handed pitchers, although he's hitting just .167 (3-for-18) with two RBI, three walks, and nine strikeouts in his first seven MLB games. Dominguez won't be guaranteed regular playing time in New York when he's activated, and he could be sent back down to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. The Dominican switch-hitter went 6-for-30 (.200) with a homer, four RBI, and three runs scored in only nine games with the Yankees before getting hurt.

Edwin Arroyo Worth Stashing Ahead of Anticipated MLB Debut?
Cincinnati Reds shortstop prospect Edwin Arroyo continues to hit the ball incredibly well at Triple-A, and he's worth stashing in fantasy baseball ahead of his eventual MLB debut. While there's no clear timeline for his promotion to the majors, the fact that he's slashing .345/.409/.592 across 43 Triple-A games suggest he could be called up sooner rather than later. He's showing off a nice blend of power and speed with nine homers and eight steals. Furthermore, we're impressed by his 8.8% walk rate, 14.6% strikeout rate, and 156 wRC+. He also has a 18.6% whiff rate, which ranks in the 85th percentile at Triple-A. All in all, the underlying metrics indicate that Arroyo should continue to have plenty of success in the majors, when his time comes. Managers should stash him now, because there's a good chance someone else will roster him before his MLB debut.

Giancarlo Stanton Still Not Ready to Ramp Up his Running Program
New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that outfielder/designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton (calf) is "doing some more dynamic stuff, but he's still not ready to ramp up his running program, according to Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News. Stanton won't be able to go on a minor-league rehab assignment or return from the 10-day injured list until he's cleared to run full speed. The 36-year-old veteran right-handed slugger has been out since being put on the IL on May 11 with a calf strain. Shockingly, the oft-injured outfielder is healing slowly, and fantasy managers in mixed leagues are quickly losing patience. The former MVP, five-time All-Star, and two-time Silver Slugger winner was hitting .256 (23-for-90) with only three home runs, 14 RBI, eight runs scored, and a stolen base in 24 games for the Yankees at the time of his injury. With both Stanton and Jasson Dominguez (shoulder) sidelined, rookie left-handed-hitting outfielder Spencer Jone is getting run in the Bronx in the outfield against righties. Stanton is now only rostered in 32% of Yahoo leagues as he slowly recovers.

Mick Abel Resumes Playing Catch
Minnesota Twins right-hander Mick Abel (elbow, triceps) resumed playing light catch last Wednesday after experiencing soreness in his right triceps muscle after a bullpen session, according to Bobby Nightengale of The Minnesota Star Tribune. Abel was initially placed on the 15-day injured list on April 20 with right-elbow inflammation, but he is back to throwing now after receiving a cortisone injection in his triceps. The 24-year-old will now need to build his arm back up before potentially returning to the Twins' starting rotation in June. The next step for the former 15th overall pick by the Philadelphia Phillies in 2020 will be to get back on the mound and resume throwing bullpen sessions. Abel will eventually need to go on a minor-league rehab assignment, too, so he's at least several weeks away from returning from the IL. Before his injury, Abel had a 3.98 ERA (2.75 FIP) and 1.57 WHIP with 23 K's and 10 walks in 20 1/3 frames across his four outings (three starts). He's only rostered in 15% of Yahoo leagues right now.

Walker Jenkins Still Worth Stashing Amid IL Stint?
Minnesota Twins outfield prospect Walker Jenkins (shoulder) is currently on the injured list, but he remains an intriguing option to stash in fantasy baseball as he approaches his return to action. Jenkins was a first-round pick out of high school in 2023, and he has quickly ascended to the upper tier of the minors. Across 25 games prior to his injury, he was slashing .256/.396/.389 with two home runs, five steals, a 17.1% walk rate, a 16.2% strikeout rate, and 111 wRC+. Jenkins isn't a major power threat, as he only went yard 10 times last year. However, his speed and on-base skills still make him a very intriguing prospect to stash in fantasy baseball. Assuming he returns to game action by the end of May, we wouldn't be shocked to see Jenkins get called up to the majors in June. He currently ranks as the #3 outfield prospect in our latest redraft rankings.

Taj Bradley Goes 1 2/3 Innings in Rehab Start on Sunday
Minnesota Twins right-hander Taj Bradley (pectoral) only went 1 2/3 innings in his minor-league rehab start on Sunday with Triple-A St. Paul, allowing an earned run on two hits while walking two and striking out three. Bradley threw 42 of his 65 pitches for strikes on the day and could be ready to return to the Twins' starting rotation soon after he was placed on the 15-day injured list on May 9 with inflammation in his right pectoral muscle. The Twins will re-evaluate Bradley on Monday before determining if they want him to make another rehab start in the minors before rejoining the big-league starting rotation. If Bradley doesn't require another tune-up game in the minors, he could be looking at making his next start for the Twins this weekend against the struggling Boston Red Sox. The 25-year-old former fifth-round pick by the Tampa Bay Rays in 2018 has had a strong first full season in Minnesota before his injury, going 4-1 with a 2.87 ERA (3.48 FIP) and 1.19 WHIP with 52 strikeouts and 17 walks in 47 innings across his eight starts. Fantasy managers looking for rotation help need to look no further than Bradley, who is rostered in 75% of Yahoo leagues right now.

Max Clark a Top Stash Option Amid Hitting Streak?
Detroit Tigers outfield prospect Max Clark has emerged as a top option to stash in fantasy baseball. Clark is still in Triple-A, but he's knocking on the door of the major leagues and could make his debut within the next couple of weeks. As it stands, the former #1 overall pick owns a seven-game hitting streak at Triple-A. Through those seven games, he is 9-for-33 with two doubles, two walks, six strikeouts, and a stolen base. Across 39 total games this year, he's slashing .269/.339/.369 with 91 wRC+. Although he only has one home run, he makes up for his lack of power with his speed. He has 10 stolen bases so far, and if called up to the majors, his ability to swipe bags should give him immediate fantasy value. Clark ranks #2 among outfielders in RotoBaller's latest prospect rankings for redraft leagues. Because it seems like he'll be called up soon, he's a very intriguing player to stash.

Roki Sasaki Emerging as Worthy Waiver-Wire Option After Eight-Strikeout Effort
Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Roki Sasaki, who is only rostered in 34% of Yahoo leagues at the moment, should garner more attention after his best outing of the year in Sunday's 10-1 defeat over the crosstown-rival Los Angeles Angels. Sasaki won his second game of the 2026 season by limiting the struggling Halos to just one earned run on four hits while walking none and striking out a season-high eight batters in a season-high seven innings pitched to help the Dodgers sweep the Angels. It was the first time that the 24-year-old failed to walk a batter in his big-league career, which could be a turning point for the Japanese hurler. Sasaki's numbers still don't look pretty overall -- 2-3 record, 5.09 ERA, 1.45 WHIP, 39:16 K:BB in eight starts -- but his season-best performance makes him at least worth watching as a potential waiver-wire pickup going forward with both Tyler Glasnow (back) and Blake Snell (elbow) on the injured list. If Sasaki can build on his most recent performance in his next scheduled start against the Milwaukee Brewers, he will be making a case to stick in L.A's rotation long term.

Byron Buxton Expected to Return to the Lineup Soon
Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton (hip) worked out at Target Field before Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers as he works his way back from right-hip flexor soreness, and he felt fine on Sunday, according to Matthew Leach of MLB.com. Buxton is confident that he will return in a matter of days, not weeks, to the starting lineup. He first felt something in his hip joint in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Miami Marlins, and then he homered twice on Wednesday. However, his hip acted up before Thursday's series finale against the Fish, and he was scratched from the lineup. Buxton hasn't played since. "It's just being smart," Buxton said. "I don't want to make the tightness, if that's what it is, become something major." The Twins are being cautious with the veteran outfielder because of his lengthy injury history, but he could be back in the starting nine for Monday's series opener at Target Field against the visiting Houston Astros. If the 32-year-old is active on Monday, fantasy managers will want to get him back into their starting lineups. He's already up to 15 long balls on the year with 23 RBI, 33 runs scored, and four steals in 169 at-bats.

Mets Hope Francisco Lindor Can Return in a Month
The New York Mets are hoping that All-Star shortstop Francisco Lindor (calf) can return in around a month, but they aren't putting a timetable on it, according to Jon Heyman of the New York Post. Lindor's strained left calf is healing, but he has yet to be cleared to start baseball activities. Fantasy managers are going to need to stay patient here and keep Lindor stashed in all formats, even though the four-time Silver Slugger winner was only hitting .226 (21-for-93) with two home runs, five RBI, 14 runs scored, and two stolen bases in 24 games at the time of his injury. Ronny Mauricio (thumb) is also out for an extended period of time for the banged-up Mets, which has forced the team to move third baseman Bo Bichette to regular duties at the 6 in Queens. Meanwhile, the left-handed-hitting Brett Baty is seeing regular playing time at third base for the Mets against right-handed pitchers.

Brice Matthews Still Worth Targeting Off the Waiver Wire?
Houston Astros outfielder Brice Matthews has been quiet at the plate in May and may no longer be worth holding in mixed fantasy leagues. In 16 games in May, Matthews has gone 11-for-55 (.200) with two home runs, five RBI, six runs scored, a stolen base, three walks, and 14 strikeouts across 59 plate appearances. He has not homered since May 6 and is barely over the Mendoza Line (.204) on the year with four long balls, 13 RBI, 12 runs scored, and two stolen bases in 39 games in just his second season in the big leagues. Matthews also struggled in a small sample size of 13 games in his first taste of major-league pitching in 2025, going 7-for-42 (.167), although he did hit four home runs while driving in nine, scoring six runs, and stealing one base. Three of the 24-year-old's home runs so far in 2026 came during a nine-game stretch, but outside of that, he just hasn't been consistent enough to warrant a roster spot in mixed leagues. Matthews is currently rostered in only 3% of Yahoo leagues.

Parker Washington a Sneaky Trade Target in Dynasty Leagues?
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington finds himself in a very crowded position group, but he has a real opportunity to carve out significant fantasy value again in 2026. Washington had the best season of his career last year, breaking out for 58 catches, 847 yards, and five touchdowns. He ranked as the WR27 in PPR leagues, which led the team. Although he's technically lower than Brian Thomas Jr. and Jakobi Meyers on the depth chart again this year, that's merely a formality, and we expect Washington to pick up right where he left off last winter. The 24-year-old should take on an even larger role with Travis Hunter expected to play more defense than offense, and there won't be any shortage of targets to go around after Trevor Lawrence attempted 32.9 passes per game last year. Washington remains a high-end WR3 in dynasty leagues, making him an intriguing trade candidate since his current managers may not value him as high due to the Jags' crowded offense.

Cade Cavalli Should be Drawing More Attention on the Waiver Wire
Washington Nationals right-hander Cade Cavalli won his second game of the 2026 season on Saturday in the team's 13-3 blowout win over the Baltimore Orioles. Cavalli picked up his third quality start of the year by allowing three earned runs on eight hits (two home runs) while walking none and striking out eight in 6 1/3 innings pitched. The home runs that the 27-year-old allowed were the first of the season for him. He threw 68 of his 96 pitches for strikes. Cavalli has now struck out at least eight batters in three of his last five starts. In back-to-back outings against the Atlanta Braves and New York Mets on May 23 and May 29, Cavalli had 20 total strikeouts with only four earned runs in 11 innings. After his performance over the weekend against Baltimore, the former first-rounder in 2020 out of Oklahoma sits at 2-2 on the year with a 4.05 ERA (3.37 FIP) and 1.54 WHIP with 52 strikeouts and 18 walks in 46 2/3 innings across his 10 starts for the Nats. He has a rematch against the division-rival Mets in his next outing, making him a clear streaming option for fantasy managers, even though the Mets have picked things up of late.

Melquizael Costa Drops Decision At UFC Vegas 117
Melquizael Costa suffered a unanimous decision loss to Arnold Allen in the main event of UFC Vegas 117 on Saturday. The fight was fairly competitive in the first two rounds, but Allen started taking over in the third round. Costa had his moments, but Allen's experience and well-rounded game were too much for the Brazilian. In 25 minutes of action, Costa landed 100 significant strikes. With the loss, Costa's six-fight winning streak was snapped. By losing, Costa dropped to 7-3 in the UFC.

Can Jarquez Hunter's Dynasty Outlook Improve in Year 2?
Los Angeles Rams running back Jarquez Hunter had a disappointing rookie season in 2025. Despite having solid draft capital as a fourth-round pick, he played exclusively on special teams last year and did not register an offensive snap. That doesn't bode well for his long-term outlook in dynasty fantasy football, especially since the Rams already have a dominant one-two punch of Kyren Williams and Blake Corum out of the backfield. Even if Hunter does secure the third-string role heading into the season -- and that's far from guaranteed -- he faces an uphill battle to earn meaningful snaps once again. If he goes two years without any sort of significant role on offense, his dynasty value will essentially be non-existent. It's already trending that way, as Hunter has fallen to RB84 in RotoBaller's dynasty rankings. He can be dropped in shallower leagues, and he belongs at the bottom of the bench in deeper leagues.

Sal Frelick Heating Up at the Plate, Widely Available in Fantasy Leagues
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Sal Frelick doesn't have game-changing power or speed, and he got off to a slow start offensively in 2026. However, Frelick has been showing signs of life at the plate recently and has gone 7-for-25 (.280) with a double, three RBI, two stolen bases, and two runs scored in his last six games, dating back to May 12. He is hitting just .250 (13-for-52) with a double, four RBI, two steals, and four runs scored across 14 games in May, but it's still a big improvement over his .219/.298/.315 slash line with two homers, seven RBI, 12 runs scored, and a stolen base in 24 games (87 plate appearances) in April. Overall, Frelick is batting .224 with a weak .614 OPS, three long balls, 13 RBI, and 19 runs scored in 161 plate appearances as Milwaukee's starting right fielder. His double on Sunday was his first extra-base hit of the month. The ceiling isn't very high for Frelick, but in deeper leagues, he might be worth a pickup if he continues to swing the bat well. Frelick is rostered in only 10% of Yahoo leagues.

James Conner Off the Dynasty Radar Entirely?
Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner's (foot) dynasty fantasy football value took an enormous hit this offseason as the team brought in two key running backs to presumably take his job. New Cardinals head coach Mike LaFleur wasted no time putting his own fingerprint on the offense, signing Tyler Allgeier in free agency and selecting Jeremiyah Love with the third pick in the NFL Draft. Love should be the Week 1 starter, and while Conner could compete with Allgeier for the backup role, Allgeier has the early advantage because Conner has no ties to the new coaching regime in Arizona. It also doesn't help that Conner is 31 years old and coming off a foot/ankle injury. Plus, heading into a contract year, the Cardinals will have less motivation to feed him snaps. There's not much to do with Conner in dynasty leagues, other than stash him. At RB64 in RotoBaller's dynasty rankings, he's unlikely to fetch any meaningful compensation if you trade him away, and it would take a serious injury to Love for Conner to have any value as a fantasy starter if you trade for him.

Will Elijah Arroyo Continue to Have Trouble Getting on the Field?
Seattle Seahawks tight end Elijah Arroyo remains the No. 2 option on the depth chart, which could be good news or bad news. It's encouraging in the sense that the Seahawks didn't draft a rookie tight end, because that could have bumped Arroyo down to the third spot. On the other hand, even as the league shifts to more 12 personnel packages, the Seahawks may continue to use just one tight end (A.J. Barner). Seattle's new offensive coordinator, Brian Fleury, was the tight ends coach with the 49ers last year. In 2025, the 49ers ran 12 personnel on just 11.46% of their plays. That ranked seventh-lowest in the NFL, and it was approximately half the league average rate. If Fleury, despite his background coaching tight end, carries that same philosophy from San Francisco to Seattle, Arroyo could have trouble earning consistent playing time when Barner is healthy.
