Gleyber Torres Still Out With Side Tightness on Tuesday
Detroit Tigers second baseman Gleyber Torres (side) remains sidelined due to side tightness on Tuesday against the visiting Boston Red Sox, according to MLB.com. Hao-Yu Lee will make the start at the keystone for Detroit and will bat ninth against Red Sox left-hander Jovani Moran at Comerica Park. This will be the third straight game that Torres has missed due to left-side tightness that he experienced in Saturday's game. However, Torres is reportedly feeling better and is expected to do some baseball activities before Tuesday's game, so he could be back in the starting nine for the Tigers on Wednesday. The 29-year-old Venezuelan infielder was an All-Star for the second time in his career in his first year with the Tigers in 2025, when he slashed .256/.358/.387 with 16 home runs and 74 RBI in 145 regular-season games. Torres is off to a .259/.389/.328 start in 32 games this year with two homers, 11 RBI, and 18 runs scored across 144 plate appearances as Detroit's starting second baseman.

Jett Williams Finding a Groove at the Plate, Ready for MLB Debut?
Milwaukee Brewers infield prospect Jett Williams has found his stride at the plate lately, going 13-for-37 with four extra-base hits and three steals over his last 10 games. Traded from the Mets to the Brewers over the offseason, Williams got off to a slow start with his new team, but he seems to have turned things around. He has bumped his slash line up to .236/.347/.350 with a respectable three home runs, eight steals, 13.2% walk rate, and 20.8% strikeout rate. We've always known that Williams' best traits are his speed and defense -- he's spent most of 2026 on the left side of the infield -- so it's encouraging (rather than frustrating) to see his current stats more than a month into the season. Perhaps most encouraging is that he's dropped his strikeout rate a little bit this year. That falls in line with some of his advanced metrics, including a 19.7% chase rate (87th percentile) and a 19.8% whiff rate (84th percentile). The improved discipline and solid speed/glove combo could earn Williams a promotion to the majors sooner rather than later, especially since he's already played 72 games at Triple-A in his career. He's a prospect worth stashing in fantasy baseball ahead of his inevitable debut.

Henry Bolte on a Hitting Streak as MLB Debut Looms
Athletics outfield prospect Henry Bolte is currently riding a four-game hitting streak, and as a result, his batting average has increased above .300. Because of how well he's hitting, we would not be surprised to see the A's call up Bolte for his MLB debut sooner rather than later. He has 31 games under his belt at Triple-A, where he's slashing .305/.385/.519 with seven home runs, 13 steals, a 10.8% walk rate, a 24.3% strikeout rate, and 119 wRC+. The former second-round pick continues to show off a blend of power, speed, and plate discipline that should prepare him well for major league action. We're equally encouraged by his advanced metrics, including a 108.9 mph EV90 (96th percentile) and a 74.2% zone swing rate (86th percentile). The A's might give Bolte a little more time at Triple-A just so he doesn't feel rushed, but a May debut seems like it's within the realm of possibilities. Fantasy managers should prepare for his debut by stashing him before leaguemates take notice.

Charlie Condon a Must-Stash Prospect Amid Epic On-Base Streak?
Colorado Rockies outfield prospect Charlie Condon is an intriguing player to target on the waiver wire in fantasy baseball. The former first-round pick continues to produce impressive results at the plate in Triple-A, where he's slashing .250/.403/.406 with four homers, a 17.7% walk rate, an 18.5% strikeout rate, and 107 wRC+. The walks have arguably been the best part of his season, as he's already totaled 22 free passes through 26 games. In fact, he has reached base safely in 22 consecutive games, dating back to the end of March. The only time he went a full game without reaching safely was March 31. This ability to get on base and contribute both at the plate and in the field makes Condon an intriguing addition for the Rockies, so we wouldn't be surprised to see them promote him soon. At 23 years old, the former No. 3 pick seems like he's ready to make the leap to the next level. Fantasy managers should stash him now, because he'll likely be snatched up by your league-mates if you wait until his debut.

Kaelen Culpepper a Top Prospect to Stash Amid Power Surge?
Minnesota Twins shortstop prospect Kaelen Culpepper has displayed impressive power lately, putting him on the fantasy radar as an intriguing minor leaguer to stash ahead of his anticipated MLB debut. Culpepper owns a modest .246/.336/.447 slash line with six homers, six steals, and 100 wRC+ in Triple-A this year, but lately he's been on a tear that will earn him some consideration for a promotion. Over his last five games, he's hitting 6-for-20 with three home runs, one double, six RBI, two walks, three strikeouts, and a stolen base. His EV50 of 94.6 mph ranks in the 88th percentile, and while he doesn't have the greatest plate discipline, he does a good job making contact and limiting whiffs. A former first-round pick, Culpepper now has 28 games of experience at Triple-A, plus 19 career at-bats against major league pitching in Spring Training. If he continues to produce impressive power, the Twins will be tempted to call him up for his MLB debut. As a result, he's an intriguing fantasy baseball option on the waiver wire.

A.J. Ewing a Must-Stash Prospect Ahead of Inevitable Debut
New York Mets center field prospect A.J. Ewing is hitting .388 with 16 steals and more walks than strikeouts, making him a must-add fantasy option on the waiver wire. Drafted out of high school in 2023, Ewing has already progressed from Double-A to Triple-A this year. The Mets won't rush him up to the majors until he's had a sufficiently large sample size at Triple-A, but once that time comes, there's no reason to hold him down in the minors. Between Binghamton and Syracuse this year, he's slashing .388/.500/.588 with two home runs, 16 steals, a 18.9% walk rate, a 16.0% strikeout rate, and 189 wRC+. He's 11-for-22 since his promotion to Triple-A, and he owns a 10-game on-base streak. He doesn't have much power, but the rest of his offensive profile is spectacular. He has elite plate discipline, posting a 79.6% in-zone swing rate (96th percentile) and a 14.3% chase rate (98th percentile). Fantasy managers should rush to add Ewing off the waiver wire before their leaguemates take notice and it's too late.

Mookie Betts Cleared to Face Live Pitching, Rehab Assignment Not Far Off
Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that shortstop Mookie Betts (oblique) will face live pitching on Thursday, according to Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic. If that goes well, Betts could start a minor-league rehab assignment "soon." Betts has been on the 10-day injured list since April 5 with a right-oblique strain, but he could be ready to rejoin the big-league lineup before the end of next week. The 33-year-old former MVP, eight-time All-Star, and seven-time Silver Slugger winner hasn't been as productive in his last two seasons in L.A. while dealing with some injuries, and his 2026 campaign has gotten off on the wrong foot. Still, Betts is a must-roster and must-start player in fantasy baseball when he's active, and he will take over starting duties at shortstop when he's activated from the IL, pushing Hyeseong Kim back into an infield utility role. Betts went 5-for-28 (.179) with two homers, seven RBI, and seven runs scored in his eight games before straining his oblique muscle.

Thomas White an Intriguing High-Strikeout Pitcher to Stash
Miami Marlins starting pitcher Thomas White has been racking up strikeouts at Triple-A, and he could be promoted to the majors sooner rather than later. When he does arrive in Miami, he'll be an immediate fantasy baseball option given his ability to pitch deep into games and rack up strikeouts. Through three games (12.2 innings) at Triple-A this year, he has a 2.95 FIP with 13.50 K/9, 2.84 BB/9, and 0.71 HR/9. The former first-round pick headlines his repertoire with a mid-90s four-seam fastball that has surrendered an impressive .083 xBA. He uses a sweeper with 14" of horizontal break to miss bats, inducing a 45.8% whiff rate. He also throws more of a true slider, a changeup, and a splitter. Between his results at Triple-A and his advanced feel for such a complex mix, White has the makings of an impact starter in the majors. Fantasy managers should stash him now while he's still available.

Brandon Woodruff Being Seen by Dr. Keith Meister
Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Brandon Woodruff (shoulder) traveled to Dallas for a hands-on assessment with Dr. Keith Meister on Tuesday, according to Adam McCalvy of MLB.com. Woodruff couldn't top 85 mph with his fastball in his last outing before being placed on the 15-day injured list with right-shoulder inflammation last week. The 33-year-old veteran said he was pain-free before being pulled last week, and the Brewers seemed to believe he was going through a dead-arm phase. However, it's worth noting that Woodruff had surgery on his right shoulder, which caused him to miss the entire 2024 campaign. A visit to Dr. Meister is an ominous sign and could result in another shoulder surgery, which would be a devastating blow for the rest of Woodruff's career. In his six starts for the Brew Crew before landing on the IL, Woodruff had a 3.60 ERA and 1.03 WHIP with 25 strikeouts and seven walks in 30 innings. Until we know more about Woodruff's status, fantasy managers should continue to hold him.

"All Things Look Good" for Jacob Misiorowski to Start on Wednesday
Milwaukee Brewers manager Pat Murphy said that "all things look good" for right-hander Jacob Misiorowski (hamstring) to make his next scheduled start on Wednesday against the division-rival St. Louis Cardinals after a hamstring scare in his last outing, according to MLB.com's Adam McCalvy. The hard-throwing right-hander departed his last start early on Friday against the Washington Nationals with a right-hamstring cramp. He had a normal between-starts bullpen session on Monday and didn't suffer any setbacks, so it looks like he'll be given the green light to pitch on Wednesday in the series finale at Busch Stadium. The 24-year-old former second-round pick in 2022 was an All-Star as a rookie in 2025 and is one of the best young upside arms in the game. Through his first seven starts in 2026 in his first full year in the big leagues, the Miz has gone 2-2 with a 2.84 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, a league-high 59 strikeouts, and 15 walks in 38 innings pitched. The Cardinals rank eighth in team OPS (.731), but Misiorowski is a must-start in fantasy when he toes the rubber.

Steven Matz Placed on Injured List With Elbow Inflammation
The Tampa Bay Rays placed left-hander Steven Matz (elbow) on the 15-day injured list (retroactive to May 4) on Tuesday with left-elbow inflammation and recalled right-hander Chase Solesky from Triple-A Durham in a corresponding move, according to Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times. It's a tough break for the Rays, as the 34-year-old veteran southpaw has been one of their best pitchers through the first month of the 2026 season. In his return to a starting role in Tampa this year, Matz has gone 4-1 with a 3.86 ERA (4.86 FIP), 1.09 WHIP, 28 strikeouts, and 13 walks in 37 1/3 innings pitched over his seven starts. In his last outing versus the San Francisco Giants on Sunday, he gave up just one run over six excellent innings for his second straight quality start. Hopefully, Matz is looking at a minimal stay on the IL. It's unclear at this time who will take Matz's spot in the rotation for the next couple of weeks, but it could be either Joe Boyle (elbow) or Mason Englert (forearm) if they come off the IL soon. Matz is currently rostered in 32% of Yahoo leagues.

Tommy Fleetwood Looking For Better Iron Play at Quail Hollow
Things have been off for Tommy Fleetwood over his last two outings, where he has lost strokes on approach in back-to-back events for the first time in two years. Ball striking is the bread and butter of the 35-year-old's game, and while his play off the tee is as steadfast as usual, he'll need the other half to pull its weight if he hopes to be in the mix at Quail Hollow. His strong bogey avoidance and ability to score helped him finish top-25 last week in Miami, but a middling par-4 scoring average, less-than-ideal length, and approach play struggles make him a less desirable DFS option. There is a lot more risk here than usual.

Packers Expect Micah Parsons to be Ready "Early in the Season"
Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst said on Sirius XM NFL Radio that All-Pro pass-rusher Micah Parsons (knee) is expected to return "early in the season." Gutekunst also said that Parsons is "a little bit of a freak" and that he's "doing really well." Obviously, Parsons is a big part of the Packers' plan going forward on defense after they sent two first-round picks and defensive tackle Kenny Clark to the Dallas Cowboys for Parsons before the start of last season. The 26-year-old five-time Pro Bowler and three-time first-team All-Pro selection was on pace to set a new career high in sacks in 2025 in his first year with Green Bay before tearing his left ACL late in December against the Denver Broncos. Parsons still managed to finish with 41 tackles (19 solo), 12.5 sacks, 12 tackles for loss, 27 QB hits, and two forced fumbles in 14 games played. Because Parsons' injury occurred so late last season, fantasy managers in IDP formats should expect him to miss the start of the 2026 campaign. Still, the former 12th overall pick will be rostered in all IDP formats as a high-upside sack artist at defensive line.

Tucker Kraft Expected Back "Early in the Season"
Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst said on Sirius XM NFL Radio that tight end Tucker Kraft's (knee) rehab from a torn right ACL is "going great," and he's expected to return "early in the season." Kraft was on his way to a career breakout in 2025 before tearing his ACL, catching 32 of his 44 targets for 489 yards and six touchdowns in eight starts. Gutekunst said in mid-January that the 25-year-old was ahead of schedule in his recovery, so barring a setback during training camp this summer, it's safe to assume that he'll be ready for Week 1 of the 2026 regular season. Kraft is entering the final year of his rookie deal, but the Packers have already engaged him in talks on a potential long-term extension. Despite tearing his ACL in 2025, Kraft is expected to be a big part of Green Bay's offense again this year, making him an easy top-10 fantasy TE. Right now, RotoBaller has Kraft as the No. 6 overall player at his position.

Christian Yelich Continues to Progress, Expected to Return in Mid- to Late-May
The plan is for Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich (groin) to progress to live at-bats and baserunning by early next week, according to Adam McCalvy of MLB.com. His estimated return remains in mid- to late-May. Yelich is recovering from a left-groin strain and was able to take on-field batting practice with the rest of the team on Monday before the series opener in St. Louis against the Cardinals. He's currently on the 10-day injured list, but the former MVP, three-time All-Star, and two-time batting champion should remain rostered in all fantasy baseball leagues while he heals. The 34-year-old veteran only had one home run in his first 51 at-bats of the 2026 season, but he was also hitting a cool .314 with 10 RBI, 10 runs scored, and three stolen bases. He should be back in a couple of weeks, which will be another boost to Milwaukee's offense after both outfielder Jackson Chourio (hand, foot) and first baseman Andrew Vaughn (hand) came off the IL on Monday.

Brian Daboll Says it's "Good to Have" Calvin Ridley on Roster
When asked about Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley's (leg) place in the offense after the additions of Wan'Dale Robinson and rookie Carnell Tate, new offensive coordinator Brian Daboll said, "It's good to have him here," according to Nick Suss of The Tennessean. "We've changed some stuff as we've gone, but he's smart. He's a good player. He's a good teammate. I've got a lot of appreciation and love for Rid," Daboll added. Ridley played in only seven games in 2025 due to a fractured fibula, but before his injury, he struggled with drops and finished with 17 catches for 303 yards and zero touchdowns. The 31-year-old veteran just never seemed to be on the same page with rookie quarterback Cameron Ward before his season-ending injury. Ridley has a history with Daboll, but the additions of Robinson and Tate are bad news for Ridley's fantasy value in both redraft and dynasty formats. Second-year wideouts Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike will also be looking for bigger roles in Tennessee's passing attack.

Isaac Guerendo Buried on Depth Chart, Looking for New Team?
The Athletic's Vic Tafur writes that San Francisco 49ers running back Isaac Guerendo, who was a fourth-round pick in 2024, "seems like he is buried" and will be "looking for a new team." The 49ers say that they will be looking to give Christian McCaffrey fewer touches in 2026, which is why they drafted rookie Kaelon Black in the third round. The Niners also have Jordan James, Patrick Taylor Jr., and Sincere McCormick in their RB room, leaving little playing time left for Guerendo. Black is expected to compete with James for the No. 2 role, so the 25-year-old Guerendo figures to be the RB4 in San Fran right now, at best. Guerendo carried the ball 84 times for 420 yards (5.0 yards per carry) and four touchdowns while adding 15 receptions for 152 yards through the air in 16 regular-season games (three starts), but he didn't see a single carry in 14 regular-season contests in Year 2 in 2025. He appears to be the odd-man out, making him a cut candidate in dynasty/keeper leagues going into the 2026 campaign.

Raiders Expect Jalen Nailor to Take "Big Leap" in "Featured Role"
The Athletic's Sam Warren writes that the Las Vegas Raiders like wide receiver Jalen Nailor to "take a big leap in a more featured role" in 2026. Nailor will be a starter alongside Tre Tucker and Jack Bech after signing a three-year, $35 million deal in free agency in March. The 27-year-old former sixth-round pick by the Minnesota Vikings in 2022 out of Michigan State showed flashes with the Vikings, but his fantasy value was always capped as the No. 3 with the Vikes behind Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison. Nailor had a career-high six touchdowns in 17 games in 2024 and caught 29 passes for a career-high 444 yards and four touchdowns in 17 games in 2025 in his final season in Minnesota. He'll be reunited with former QB Kirk Cousins to start the 2026 campaign in Vegas, and there is plenty of opportunity since the Raiders didn't address the receiver position in this year's draft. At the very least, Nailor will be in play as a weekly WR4/flex in redraft leagues for the upcoming season, while his dynasty stock has more long-term upside as he begins to work with No. 1 overall pick Fernando Mendoza.

Rockies-Mets Game Postponed Due to Inclement Weather
The Colorado Rockies-New York Mets game on Tuesday in Denver has been postponed due to inclement weather and will be made up on Thursday, May 7. Fantasy managers will obviously want to remove any players from these two teams that you may have had in your starting lineups for Tuesday's slate of games. Right-hander Michael Lorenzen was scheduled to toe the rubber for the Rockies at Coors Field on Tuesday, with veteran right-hander Freddy Peralta on the bump for the Mets. Lorenzen could pitch next on Wednesday or Thursday, with Peralta scheduled to be pushed back a day to Wednesday. Mets right-hander Christian Scott is expected to also be bumped back a day to Thursday at Coors Field.

Mario Craver Enters No. 1 Wide Receiver Role for Marcel Reed
Texas A&M wide receiver Mario Craver enjoyed a fantastic first season with the Aggies in 2025, racking up 59 receptions for 917 yards and four touchdowns. However, the former Mississippi State Bulldog totaled 443 of his 917 yards in the team's first three games before taking a backseat to KC Concepcion, who was recently selected in Round 1 of the 2026 NFL Draft by the Cleveland Browns. With Concepcion gone, Craver projects to be Marcel Reed's go-to option in 2026. The Aggies added former Alabama wideout Isaiah Horton in the transfer portal, but Craver has the built-in chemistry with Reed and a higher ceiling entering next year's campaign. Craver is a must-see playmaker for a team that just lost 10 players to the 2026 NFL Draft.

Braves Officially Reinstate Raisel Iglesias From Injured List on Tuesday
The Atlanta Braves announced on Tuesday that they officially reinstated right-handed reliever Raisel Iglesias (shoulder) from the 10-day injured list and designated right-hander Carlos Carrasco for assignment in a corresponding move. Iglesias returns on the first day he's eligible to come back from right-shoulder inflammation. He's expected to immediately reclaim closer duties from right-hander Robert Suarez, who performed admirably in the ninth inning for the Braves with Iglesias sidelined and picked up three saves. The 36-year-old Cuban hurler has 11-plus years of big-league experience, which includes 258 career saves in 744 2/3 innings pitched. Iglesias has had at least 29 saves in each of the last three seasons in Atlanta, and he tossed 8 2/3 scoreless frames with five saves for the Braves this year before landing on the IL. There's no reason why Iglesias should be floating around any waiver wires now that he's back.

LaNorris Sellers a Strong Rebound Candidate in 2026
South Carolina quarterback LaNorris Sellers was viewed as a potential top-10 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft following his redshirt freshman campaign. In his debut season, he led the Gamecocks to nine wins behind 3,208 total yards and 25 touchdowns. However, he regressed in nearly every statistical category in 2026 with offensive coordinator Mike Shula, and South Carolina posted an abysmal 4-8 campaign. Entering Year 3 as a starter, he'll work with offensive coordinator Kendal Briles, who has had major success at several stops. Wide receivers Nyck Harbor and Jayden Sellers are back, and South Carolina added several depth pieces to its pass-catching group. The offensive line has also seen a makeover, which was much needed after a disastrous performance from that group a year ago. Sellers is a fantastic athlete with all the raw tools needed to be a successful quarterback. With a better situation around him in 2026, he's a prime rebound candidate this college football season.

Cam Coleman Poised for Monster Year at Texas?
Texas wide receiver Cam Coleman, who transferred from Auburn to Austin this offseason, is viewed as one of the top pass-catchers in the country entering 2026. The Longhorns, who lacked big-time wide receiver production outside of Ryan Wingo last season, were aggressive in their pursuit of Coleman. The 20-year-old's counting stats don't pop off the page, but in the context of the sluggish Auburn offense over the last two seasons, he has been one of the SEC's best receivers since he stepped on the field. Overall, he has tallied 93 receptions for 1,306 yards and 13 touchdowns through his first 23 collegiate games. Now at Texas and catching passes from Arch Manning, he'll have the chance to blossom into an All-American-type wide receiver and establish himself as a first-round talent in the 2027 NFL Draft. Anything short of a highly productive year would be a letdown.

Cedric Tillman on the Trade Block?
The Cleveland Browns added rookie wide receivers KC Concepcion and Denzel Boston in the 2026 NFL draft, which makes The Athletic's Zac Jackson wonder if the team will eventually look to trade Cedric Tillman this summer. In addition to adding younger competition, the Browns are installing a new offense under head coach Todd Monken. Jackson lists Jerry Jeudy and Concepcion in the top tier of Browns wideouts, followed by Boston and Isaiah Bond in Tier 2. In Tier 3, he lists Tylan Wallace, Malachi Corley, Tillman, and Jamari Thrash. The Browns are hoping that Bond can take the next step with a full offseason, and Boston is a true outside receiver like Tillman. The Browns' major commitments are to Jeudy and the two rookies, which means, as of right now, Tillman might be the WR5 in Cleveland. The fact that Tillman doesn't contribute on special teams hurts his cause even more. The 26-year-old former third-rounder in 2023 out of Tennessee is entering the final season of his rookie deal and is coming off a season in which he caught just 21 passes for 270 yards and two touchdowns in 13 games. Tillman has failed to get going in his three NFL seasons, making him a cut candidate in dynasty leagues if he stays with the Browns.

Will Hammond Pushing to Be Ready for Week 1
Texas Tech quarterback Will Hammond (knee), who suffered a torn ACL last October, suddenly finds himself in a potential starting role for a College Football Playoff contender after it was revealed that Cincinnati transfer Brendan Sorsby gambled on his own team as a member of the Indiana Hoosiers. There is a chance Sorsby permanently loses his eligibility, and with the Red Raiders unable to bring in serious quarterback competition, Hammond is next in line. The goal was for Hammond to return in Week 3 against Houston, but with Sorsby likely out, he is pushing harder to be ready for the season-opener against Abilene Christian. He has begun on-field work and throwing. "Things are really, really good," quarterback coach Jeff Christensen said. "Threw it really well today. The knee is getting better at a rapid pace; it's going really well." In two starts last season, Hammond tallied a 1-1 record, throwing for 269 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception.

Alex Fitzpatrick Looking to Keep Up Ball-Striking Output at Quail Hollow
After gaining PGA Tour status a couple of weeks ago, Alex Fitzpatrick made the most of his first start last week in Miami. He finished T9 at Doral with strong performances in strokes gained off the tee (1.27 average) and on approach (1.06 average), and seems poised to show he can hang with the best players in the world. The ball striking hasn't always been this sharp, but after two victories both on the PGA and DP World Tours, and two other top 10 finishes in his last four starts, the younger Fitzy has undoubtedly found that next gear. This week's Truist Championship at Quail Hollow is heavy on course history, which doesn't bode well for the new PGA Tour member. Even with this run of form, expectations for the 29-year-old are still up in the air, but it's hard to say he isn't worthy of DFS consideration.

Andy Reid Compares Emmett Johnson to LeSean McCoy
Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid has compared rookie fifth-round running back Emmett Johnson to former six-time Pro Bowl RB LeSean McCoy, according to Grant Gordon of NFL.com. Reid believes Johnson can contribute on the ground, as a pass-catcher, and on special teams. "First of all, he's got a good feel for things, a smart kid, good kid. He's got that lateral quickness. We had LeSean McCoy here for a bit, and he has a little bit of that to him, where he can shift gears and still get himself up the field quickly," said Reid, who coached McCoy with the Philadelphia Eagles and for a season with the Chiefs. Kareem Hunt and Isiah Pacheco are both gone, but the Chiefs added Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III, Emari Demercado, and Johnson to a RB room that still includes Brashard Smith. Johnson was the sixth RB off the board in the 2026 NFL draft, but he was first in the FBS in 2025 with 151.8 all-purpose yards per game. He also had a career-high 1,451 rushing yards and 370 receiving yards at Nebraska last year. Because of his three-down skill set, if anything were to happen to Walker, who has a history of lower-body injuries, Johnson could benefit right away in 2026. Consider the 22-year-old a dynasty sleeper and a handcuff to Walker in single-year fantasy leagues.

Notre Dame Leads College Football in Returning Snaps
Despite Notre Dame losing its top two rushers (Jeremiyah Love and Jadarian Price) and its second- and third-leading receivers (Malachi Fields and Eli Raridon) to the 2026 NFL Draft, the Irish rank No. 1 in the FBS in returning snaps for 2026. According to On3, Notre Dame returns 66% of its total snaps from last year, including 73% of its defensive snaps. After narrowly missing out on the College Football Playoff last year, the Irish are among the betting odds favorites to win the National Championship next season. Marcus Freeman's squad returns rising quarterback CJ Carr and a loaded and experienced defense. The program also has one of the easiest schedules in Power 4 football, with its toughest tests being Miami at home and BYU on the road.

Ty Simpson a Great Fit With the Rams?
The Los Angeles Rams surprised everyone in the first round of the 2026 NFL draft when they selected former Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson with the 13th overall pick. SEC coaches acknowledged that Simpson's profile "has some clear concerns," but another SEC coach said that "it's a great fit for him from a system standpoint." "There's a lot of similarities [with Michael Stafford]. [The pick] was the biggest [surprise], a guy who didn't have a ton of starts, but when he played, he played well. His long game is going to be really good." Simpson only had one season of starting experience at Alabama in 2025, so he's clearly not ready for a starting role at the next level. The good news is that in L.A., behind Stafford, Simpson won't be pressured to start right away, and he could end up sitting and learning for two years until Stafford decides to retire. Fantasy managers in dynasty/keeper leagues will be playing the long game if they select Simpson, who is in excellent hands with head coach Sean McVay.

Two Ole Miss Football Players Arrested, Charged with DUI
According to The Clarion Ledger, Ole Miss quarterback Rees Wise and running back Damarius Yates were arrested on May 3 by the Oxford Police Department. The teammates, who are both under the age of 21, have been charged with DUI and reckless driving. Wise, a true freshman, is expected to be no higher than third on the quarterback depth chart this season. Yates, a four-star freshman, enters a crowded backfield headlined by Kewan Lacy and was facing an uphill battle for playing time to begin with. Needless to say, neither is helping their case with early off-the-field incidents to begin their collegiate careers.
