Colson Montgomery Flashing Power Potential
Chicago White Sox shortstop Colson Montgomery is 15-for-47 (.319) over his last 12 games and has smashed five homers with 12 RBI and a .463 wOBA. The lefty has a 54.5% hard-hit rate over that span and a 41.4% hard-hit rate on the season. His recent success has been a little overshadowed by the hype around Munetaka Murakami, but Montgomery is also starting to heat up in the middle of the White Sox lineup, which is full of exciting young hitters to add to your lineup headed into the summer with warmer weather in Chicago. Montgomery and the White Sox are in San Diego for their weekend series, which gets underway on Friday night with a favorable matchup against German Marquez.

Isaac TeSlaa Still a Dynasty Depth Piece Worth Holding
Detroit Lions wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa put himself onto fantasy radars by scoring six touchdowns on only 16 receptions as a rookie, and while that rate is wholly unsustainable, he offers a different archetype to the Lions' receiver room and should see continued scoring opportunities in his second season. Over 38% of TeSlaa's targets came within the 20-yard line in 2025, and while some of that was a byproduct of tight end Sam LaPorta missing eight games, at 6'4" and 217 pounds with a verified 39.5" vertical, the 2025 third-round pick offers an enormous mismatch over smaller DBs and could continue to carve out a role as a jump ball specialist. While touchdowns alone will never match the fantasy predictability of sheer volume, TeSlaa's opportunities will be foreseeably capped in an offense with Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams, running back Jahmyr Gibbs, and a healthy LaPorta, but if he can continue to convert targets into touchdowns at an above-average rate, he'll have his usable moments and is worth a dynasty stash as RotoBaller's WR86.

Does Aidan Miller Still Hold Stash Value?
Philadelphia Phillies infield prospect Aidan Miller (back) has yet to take the field this season and is quickly losing stash value. According to a recent report by Todd Zolecki of MLB.com, the team's top infield prospect is "nearing" a return to swinging a bat. While the infielder has been able to participate in other baseball activities, he has yet to begin swinging, which remains a major hurdle in his recovery. Early in camp, Miller was in contention to compete for a starting job, but this injury prevented him from making a strong case. Last season, the former 27th overall pick from the 2023 MLB Draft spent most of his time with Double-A before earning a short taste with Triple-A. With Double-A (108 games), Miller posted a .259/.382/.427 line with 13 home runs and 52 stolen bases. Over his short eight-game stint with Triple-A, Miller stole seven bags while holding a .333 AVG. While he still has a potential length recovery ahead of him, Miller remains in play for a second-half MLB debut.

Didier Fuentes Worth a Pickup in Modified Role?
Atlanta Braves right-handed pitching prospect Didier Fuentes was recalled to the MLB roster in a modified relief role prior to Tuesday's contest. In Tuesday's game, Fuentes entered the game out of the bullpen and logged two no-hit frames with one walk and one punchout, earning his first career hold. Fuentes was promoted to the majors earlier on April 22 and was given his first start of the MLB season, but stumbled in this outing, allowing four runs and seven hits over three innings of work. While he has yet to see his skills translate to the starting rotation, he has flashed high upside at Triple-A, which makes him a worthy stash option in deeper leagues. Earlier in April, Fuentes logged 16 2/3 innings with a strong 2.16 ERA and a 20:6 K:BB. While he appears set for a long relief role for now, Fuentes could return to the rotation if he continues to find his footing against MLB hitters.

Luis Lara Emerging as Top Name to Monitor in Brewers System
Milwaukee Brewers outfield prospect Luis Lara is putting together a dominant start with Triple-A Nashville and is emerging as a top name to monitor in their system. Lara spent the entire 2025 campaign with Double-A and was given the green light to begin the 2026 season with the top club in their system. Through his first 26 games with Triple-A, Lara has posted an elite .347/.439/.561 line with a 1.000 OPS. Lara has gone deep five times, added four doubles, and swiped 12 bags. Additionally, the 21-year-old has shown a strong eye at the dish, posting a 15:15 K:BB. Last summer, the No. 11-ranked prospect in their system, per MLB.com, posted a lower .257/.369/.343 line over 136 games with Double-A. Given that the Brewers have lacked much consistency in left field with Jackson Chourio on the shelf, they could look to give Lara a look in the big leagues much sooner than expected.

Jonah Tong Approaching Return to Queens?
New York Mets right-handed pitching prospect Jonah Tong is emerging as a sneaky stash option following the injury to Kodai Senga (back). Earlier this week, Senga was shifted to the 15-day injured list, opening up a spot in the starting rotation. While Christian Scott was recalled from Triple-A, Tong is a name to watch closely, as he could be the next man up if Scott struggles. Since allowing six runs on April 14 at Triple-A, Tong has found his footing, striking out 15 hitters over his last 10 innings while allowing only four earned runs. Last summer, Tong logged 113 2/3 innings (split between Double-A and Triple-A) and held an elite 1.43 ERA and a 0.92 WHIP with 179 punchouts. While Tong was unable to find much success in his first MLB stint, he is worth monitoring given the current state of their rotation.

Yordan Alvarez Continues to Mash
Houston Astros designated hitter/outfielder Yordan Alvarez has been locked in at the plate over the last few weeks and is posting some of the best offensive numbers in baseball. Alvarez has 11 homers, just one off the MLB lead, and he has hit safely in 13 straight games, coming into Thursday's doubleheader in Baltimore. Alvarez is 21-for-54 (.389) over that hitting streak with five doubles, five homers, a .502 wOBA, a 52.9% hard-hit rate, and a 15.7 barrel rate. He has a 14.9% walk rate and just a 8.2% strikeout rate, showing elite plate discipline and almost always putting the ball in play. He has proven in the past that he can get hot and carry the Astros' offense and post great fantasy numbers, and he's in the middle of another very productive stretch after putting last year's injuries squarely behind him.

Pat Bryant Still a Quality Buy-Low Despite Crowded Broncos Receiver Room
Denver Broncos wide receiver Pat Bryant was a popular breakout candidate heading into his second season until Denver shook up the depth chart by trading for Jaylen Waddle. 2024 fourth-round pick Troy Franklin, expected to be healthier after dealing with hamstring injuries throughout the 2025 playoffs, represents the biggest barrier to meaningful playing time, but Bryant has the highest ceiling of all the tertiary options in Denver's passing game. Unfortunately, even if he's able to earn the primary slot responsibilities, his upside will be capped on an offense whose offseason moves suggest they could employ more heavy personnel packages in 2026, adding two tight ends and a running back in the 2026 NFL Draft. With Waddle approaching 28 and Courtland Sutton already north of 30, there is still a path towards Bryant's long-term success in Denver, but at RotoBaller's dynasty WR87, acquiring managers will require patience and adjusted expectations.

Luis Robert Jr. Likely to Land on the Injured List
New York Mets outfielder Luis Robert Jr. (back) had an MRI on Wednesday, and while the results have not been released, reports are that the injury will cause him to be placed on the injured list this Thursday. Robert played in the first game of Sunday's doubleheader but was out of the lineup Tuesday after the off-day due to lower back tightness. He missed Tuesday and Wednesday's game and still isn't ready to return. Robert is hitting .224 on the season but is only 7-for-46 (.152) in his last 12 games with three doubles and no homers. With Robert likely landing on the IL along with Francisco Lindor (calf) and Jorge Polanco (wrist), the Mets' lineup will be stretched thin with MJ Melendez and Tyrone Taylor likely to pick up most of Robert's playing time.

Dynasty Expectations Low for Troy Franklin
Denver Broncos wide receiver Troy Franklin was one of the more hyped prospects coming out of Oregon and early in the pre-draft process heading into the 2024 NFL Draft. Most of that hype went by the wayside when he fell to the fourth round and Denver made him the 103rd overall pick, but he still had his believers in dynasty circles. After two inconsistent seasons, and with the Broncos continuing to add target competition, first by selecting Pat Bryant in the third round of the 2025 Draft and then by shipping out first and third-round picks for Jaylen Waddle, Franklin has fallen to WR73 in RotoBaller's dynasty rankings. Franklin has shown sporadic flashes on his way to 992 career yards and eight touchdowns, but the wide receiver room in Denver has grown crowded, and with three capable running backs in J.K. Dobbins, RJ Harvey, and now fourth-round pick Jonah Coleman, consistent upside will be hard to come by in more of a complementary role.

Dansby Swanson Finding His Rhythm?
Chicago Cubs shortstop Dansby Swanson is still hitting just .214 and usually bats near the bottom of the lineup in his 30 games this year. However, he continues to get on base and post excellent run-production numbers, and his average is starting to come around as well. Swanson has 23 RBI and 23 runs scored, which place him in the top 15 in the MLB in each category. Swanson also has six homers this season, five of which have come in his last 16 games, while he's batting .275 with a .433 wOBA over that span. He sat out Wednesday's game after cramping up and leaving Tuesday's contest early, but the injury isn't expected to be anything long-term, and he should be back in the lineup on Friday as the Cubs return to Wrigley to face the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Trevor Lawrence's Dynasty Value Remains High Despite Quiet Jaguars Offseason
The Jacksonville Jaguars lost veteran running back Travis Etienne Jr. to free agency and are expected to see 2025 second overall pick Travis Hunter spend most of his time on the defensive side of the ball in Year 2. In the 2026 NFL Draft, outside of dedicated run-blocking tight end Nate Boerkircher, they did not add any offensive weapons until later in day three, and yet the dynasty value of quarterback Trevor Lawrence remains at a two-year high, reflecting his strong finish to the 2025 season, the quality depth around him, and an anticipated leap in his second year in Liam Coen's offense. Lawrence finished his fifth season with 4,007 passing yards, 359 rushing yards, and 38 total touchdowns, pacing as the fantasy QB1 over the final 10 weeks of the season. Even without Etienne, and with limited expectations on Hunter, the Jaguars feature one of the more dynamic groups of pass catchers in the league with Brian Thomas Jr., Jakobi Meyers, Parker Washington, and tight end Brenton Strange. Jacksonville's running back trio of Bhayshul Tuten, Chris Rodriguez Jr., and LeQuint Allen Jr. also offers untapped intrigue, and at RotoBaller's dynasty QB11, Lawrence appears poised to finally reward managers who held him through some of his leaner years.

Mark Leiter Jr. Secures One-Out Save for Athletics
Athletics relief pitcher Mark Leiter Jr. came on to close out the Royals on Wednesday night, earning his third save of the season by getting Jac Caglianone to strike out swinging to end the game. He came in to replace Joel Kuhnel, who got five outs but gave up a run on a sacrifice fly and left a runner on third base. Leiter walked Isaac Collins to bring the tying run to the plate before securing the win with the strikeout. Leiter is 3-for-5 in save opportunities this season with a 6.23 ERA and 4.35 FIP. The back end of the bullpen is still unsettled for the AL West-leading A's, with Kuhnel leading the team in saves with four, while Jack Perkins and Hogan Harris are also in the mix, along with Leiter. Kuhnel is probably still the best option of the committee for fantasy, but Perkins could be an interesting solution if he starts getting more chances as well.

Courtland Sutton's Dynasty Value Unaffected by NFL Draft
Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton saw his dynasty stock take a hit when the team traded for Jaylen Waddle, but following the 2026 NFL Draft, his value has leveled off. Having sent away first and third-round picks in the deal for Waddle, Denver entered the draft with only seven total picks, and they ended up spending a fifth and a seventh on tight ends Justin Joly and Dallen Bentley, neither of whom poses a threat to Sutton's role on the outside or as immediate target competition. Sutton has scored 25 touchdowns over the past three seasons, and he remains the Broncos' primary threat in the red zone. While Waddle will certainly eat into his overall workload, Sutton's big game potential still makes him a capable WR3 or flex play for fantasy, reflected by his dynasty ranking of RotoBaller's WR44 as he approaches 31 years old.

Jacob Latz Earns Another Save for Rangers, Emerging as Closer to Roster?
Texas Rangers relief pitcher Jacob Latz worked two shutout innings on Wednesday night to help his team close out a 3-0 win over the visiting Yankees. Latz allowed one hit and had one strikeout, lowering his ERA for the season to 1.08 with a 0.48 WHIP in his 16 2/3 innings over 13 appearances. While the Rangers continue to use a committee to close out games, Latz has been their best reliever for fantasy this season, posting two saves and two holds. He isn't an elite closer option due to his undefined role, but he does have good upside and is worth considering for a roster spot in some formats since he has been so effective wherever the Rangers decide to deploy him.

Clayton Keller Sets Up Two Goals Wednesday Night
Utah Mammoth winger Clayton Keller registered two assists in Wednesday's 5-4 double-overtime loss to the Vegas Golden Knights. The 27-year-old was involved in both of Utah's first two goals, scored by John Marino and Lawson Crouse. This marked Keller's second multi-point game in the series, giving him five points (one goal, four assists) through five games. Keller shares the scoring lead on his squad with Crouse and Dylan Guenther. The Mammoth captain, who is riding a three-game point streak, will have the spotlight on him on Friday night as he must help his team stave off elimination in Game 6.

The Russian forward joined Mark Stone, Jonathan Marchessault, and Mattias Janmark as the only players with a playoff hat trick in Golden Knights history. After a quiet start in the first-round series, Dorofeyev has found his scoring stick, netting four goals in two games -- only two players have more goals this postseason.

Dan Vladar Backstops Flyers to Series-Clinching Win
Philadelphia Flyers goaltender Dan Vladar recorded a 42-save shutout as the team finished off the Pittsburgh Penguins in the first round of the playoffs with a 1-0 overtime win on Wednesday. Vladar kept the Flyers in the game until Cam York delivered the series-winning goal with 2:28 remaining in the first overtime. This was a historic night for Vladar, who set a new record for saves by a Flyers goaltender in a series-deciding victory. There have been three shutouts in the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs, and Vladar has been responsible for two of them. He was outstanding in the first round, posting a 1.61 goals-against average and a .937 save percentage. The Czech netminder must maintain his form in Round 2 if Philadelphia is to have any chance against a very strong Carolina team.

Oilers to Use Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl on Same Line Thursday
Edmonton Oilers forwards Connor McDavid (ankle) and Leon Draisaitl will start Thursday's Game 6 against the Anaheim Ducks on the same line, Gerry Moddejonge of NHL.com reports. Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch has decided to pair his two superstar forwards to ease the load on McDavid, who is dealing with an ankle injury. Additionally, the team is in desperation mode, facing a second consecutive elimination game. It was the duo of McDavid and Draisaitl who made the biggest impact as Edmonton survived Game 5 on Tuesday with a 4-1 win. Draisaitl scored half of Edmonton's goals, with McDavid assisting him on both. In an ideal scenario for the Oilers, this will happen again on Thursday night. Kasperi Kapanen will have the privilege of accompanying McDavid and Draisaitl, giving him additional fantasy value.

Brady Tkachuk Remains Committed to Senators
Ottawa Senators forward Brady Tkachuk is upset by the speculation about his future and remains committed to the team, ESPN's Greg Wyshynski reports. "I feel like I've answered this hundreds of times. Quite honestly, it's just getting frustrating. It's becoming a distraction. I have been fully committed to this team, to this city. It's just becoming frustrating to deal with," Tkachuk said in his postseason news conference. Earlier this week, Senators general manager Steve Staios dismissed Tkachuk not returning next season as "nonsense." Tkachuk has two seasons remaining on a seven-year, $57.5 million contract that includes a full no-movement clause. In 2025-26, the Senators captain had a strong season on an individual level, averaging almost a point per game. He posted 22 goals and 37 assists in 60 contests. If he's happy in Ottawa, there's no reason Tkachuk can't maintain his level of performance next campaign.

Arttu Hyry Could Be Available Thursday
Dallas Stars right wing Arttu Hyry (lower body) has traveled with the team for Game 6 on the road against the Minnesota Wild on Thursday night, Dan Rosen of NHL.com reports. This suggests Hyry could be an option for the contest. He suffered a lower-body injury in Game 5, and Stars head coach Glen Gulutzan initially said it was "highly unlikely" Hyry would be available for Game 6. In the playoffs, Hyry has been doing the dirty work for Dallas, recording seven hits and two blocks in four outings. He has no points with three SOG. The Stars will look to Michael Bunting or Adam Erne if Hyry is ultimately ruled out for Thursday's action.

James Harden Contributes in All Areas Wednesday
Cleveland Cavaliers guard James Harden posted 23 points, nine rebounds, five assists, two steals, and one block in Wednesday's 125-120 Game 5 victory over the Toronto Raptors. The former MVP made half of his eight three-point attempts and finished 7-for-13 overall from the field. On the downside, Harden was responsible for six of Cleveland's 14 turnovers, yet he was the team's only starter with a positive plus/minus, finishing with a plus-10 in 40 minutes. Harden has struggled to handle the ball throughout the series, recording 6.0 turnovers per game. However, he's done a great job overall, averaging 22.0 points, 4.4 rebounds, 6.2 assists, and 2.0 steals, while shooting close to 50 percent. He's gone 41.0 percent from deep on nearly eight attempts per game.

Schroder played the entire fourth quarter and scored 11 points as Cleveland turned a 103-100 deficit into a Game 5 victory. The German veteran was 7-for-11 from the field, including 3-for-6 from behind the arc. So far, Schroder's role has been quite limited in the first-round series, but he showed on Wednesday that he is ready to step up if called upon. Prior to Wednesday night, the 2023 World Cup MVP had averaged only 4.0 points per game against Toronto.

He also registered five assists in 38 minutes, going 9-for-19 from the field with a 2-for-5 record from three-point range. With Brandon Ingram (heel) struggling in the postseason, Barrett has really stepped up his game. He leads Toronto in scoring with 24.4 points per game and in rebounding with 7.2 per game. Additionally, Barrett has averaged 3.8 assists and 1.0 steals, making 46.2 percent of his three-point attempts. Ingram might be completely out of the lineup for Game 6 after exiting early on Wednesday, potentially allowing Barrett to have an even greater impact.

Austin Reaves Contributes 22 Points Off the Bench in Game 5 Loss
Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves (oblique) returned to action in a bench role on Wednesday against the Houston Rockets and tallied 22 points in a 99-93 loss. This was Reaves' first game in four weeks. While the team elected not to start him, the 27-year-old was heavily involved in the action, logging 34 minutes. Reaves was rusty and scored most of his points at the free-throw line, going 12-for-13. He had a 4-for-16 record from the field and made only two of eight attempts from downtown. Although he had trouble scoring the basketball, Reaves did a good job as a playmaker, registering six assists. Additionally, he grabbed six rebounds and blocked one shot. Given that Reaves handled his normal workload in his comeback game, it appears likely he will return to the starting lineup in Game 6 on Friday.

Overall, he was 9-for-20 from the field and 7-for-10 at the charity stripe. The 22-time All-Star dished out a team-high seven assists, grabbed three rebounds, and snagged a pair of steals. In 39 minutes, James posted only two turnovers -- a major improvement from the previous two games, when he had eight turnovers in each. James is experiencing some efficiency issues in his 19th postseason campaign, but he has still improved upon his regular-season averages.

Paolo Banchero Scores 45 Points in Game 5 Loss
Orlando Magic power forward Paolo Banchero had a special night with 45 points on Wednesday, but he couldn't save his team from a 116-109 Game 5 loss against the Detroit Pistons. Only two players in franchise history -- Shaquille O'Neal and Tracy McGrady -- have been more prolific in a playoff game, sharing the Magic record with 46 points. Banchero did the damage with a 17-for-31 effort from the field. After averaging only one made three-pointer per game across the first four games of the season, Banchero was 6-for-11 from downtown. The 2024 All-Star also led his team with nine rebounds and seven assists, adding two steals. Having this version of Banchero on the court is a huge bonus for Orlando, especially if Franz Wagner's (calf) absence extends beyond a single game.

Jets Pick Up Will McDonald's Fifth-Year Option
The New York Jets announced on Wednesday that they have picked up the fifth-year option on former first-round defensive end Will McDonald, according to Eric Allen of NewYorkJets.com. This move should not come as a surprise to anyone after McDonald recorded 18.5 sacks in 32 games with the Jets over the last two seasons. The Jets selected the 26-year-old with the 15th overall pick in the 2023 NFL draft out of Iowa State. He only had three sacks and 14 total tackles (nine solo) in 15 games (zero starts) in his first year with the Jets, but McDonald has looked like a first-round talent the last two seasons. In 15 games (14 starts) in 2025, McDonald had a career-high 30 tackles (19 solo), eight sacks, 10 tackles for loss, and 19 QB hits for Gang Green. McDonald is definitely a weapon for the Jets' pass rush, but he hasn't contributed enough as a run-stopper to put him on the map in IDP fantasy formats just yet.

Texans, Azeez Al-Shaair Agree to Three-Year Extension
The Houston Texans and Pro Bowl linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair agreed to terms on a three-year, $54 million contract extension on Wednesday, according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. Al-Shaair was a first-time Pro Bowler in 2025 in his second season with the Texans, and he finished with 103 tackles (48 solo), a career-high two interceptions, nine pass breakups, a forced fumble, and a fumble recovery in 16 regular-season starts. The 28-year-old former undrafted free agent out of Florida Atlantic has 100-plus combined tackles in three of his seven NFL seasons and has accumulated a total of 535 tackles (288 solo), six sacks, four interceptions, 24 pass breakups, five forced fumbles, and five fumble recoveries in his seven years in the league. The middle linebacker had surgery on his thumb in the offseason, but he should be recovered in time for Week 1 of the upcoming 2026 season to run it back with one of the best overall defenses in the league. Al-Shaair finished as the No. 38 linebacker in 2025 in IDP fantasy formats.

KC Concepcion Looking to Build Chemistry With Second-Year QB
Cleveland Browns rookie first-round wide receiver KC Concepcion said he wants to "build a connection" with second-year quarterback Shedeur Sanders, and not veteran QB Deshaun Watson (Achilles), according to Ryan Heckman of the Dawg Pound Daily. Concepcion has previously interacted with Sanders and called him a "great guy" and a "great leader." Although the 21-year-old North Carolina State product apparently thinks Sanders should be the team's starting QB in 2026, reports have surfaced that suggest Watson is the current leader in the QB competition after early offseason workouts. Sanders has more of a future in Cleveland than Watson does, but new head coach Todd Monken might only be focusing on 2026 and who gives the team the best chance to win. Concepcion had a prolific career in college, but he'll have to battle for targets in his rookie season with fellow rookie Denzel Boston and Jerry Jeudy. His short- and long-term fantasy value might look better if Sanders wins the starting job, too.
