Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suarez took home the NL Player of the Week honors on Monday.
He marks the first player to receive the weekly honor this season.
And it’s not hard to see why.
Suarez wasted little time filling the stat sheet across Arizona’s four-game series with the Chicago Cubs, recording four home runs and seven RBIs while slashing .286/.412/1.143 with a 1.555 OPS.
He is currently tied for the MLB lead in homers with New York’s Aaron Judge and paces the National League in slugging and total bases (16). He’s tied with Chicago’s Kyler Tucker for the NL lead in RBIs.

— MLB (@MLB) March 30, 2025
Suarez’s hot start to the season isn’t all that surprising, given a strong spring training that saw him hit three homers and 18 RBIs in 21 games (62 plate appearances).
Despite Suarez’s tear, the D-backs split their opening series with the Cubs, 2-2.
Suarez and the D-backs now travel to New York for a three-game series against the hard-hitting Yankees and their torpedo bats.
The Yankees are off to a hot start behind a 3-0 record and MLB-leading 15 home runs.
New York also paces baseball with a .333 average. The team right behind it? Arizona (.329).
Arizona is back in action Tuesday afternoon against New York. First pitch is slated for 4:05 p.m. MST and can be heard on the Arizona Sports app, 98.7 and ArizonaSports.com.
Navigating dynasty fantasy football trades can be tricky, especially when evaluating players on new teams. Offseason moves often shake up player values, creating unique buy-low and sell-high opportunities. In this article, our collection of Featured Pros experts breaks down which players on new teams you should target or trade away in your dynasty leagues. Whether you’re rebuilding or gearing up for a title run, this expert-driven advice will help you make smarter long-term roster decisions.
Which player who changed teams this offseason are you buying or selling now in dynasty leagues and why? Also, what are you willing to give up to get him?
“Only a few players saw their dynasty fantasy value improve after changing teams this offseason. However, Justin Fields was the biggest winner. After spending last season as a backup for the Pittsburgh Steelers, he signed a two-year deal worth $40 million in free agency with the New York Jets, likely giving him at least two years as the team’s starting quarterback. While he might not be the ideal NFL starting quarterback, the former Ohio State star is an appealing fantasy starter. Last season, Fields was the QB6 over the six weeks he started, averaging 19.1 fantasy points per game. Fields might not have fantasy value past 2026. Yet, I would trade an early second-round rookie pick this year in superflex leagues for the veteran quarterback.”
– Mike Fanelli (FantasyPros)
“The Vikings traded for Jordan Mason this offseason, and he is one Aaron Jones injury away from a full workload. I also don’t think this is a situation where Jones is the clear-cut No. 1 rusher. The Vikings GM recently spoke on his excitement for the Jones/Mason pairing in 2025. This is going to be a two-headed monster in Minnesota behind a revamped offensive line. I posted a poll on X of Jordan Mason versus the rookie 2.07, and it was a dead-even split. There’s the going rate, folks. It’s a late second/early third for an RB who is only 25 years old and was near the top of the league in rushing yards last year before his injury. The Vikings also only have four draft picks in this year’s upcoming draft, making it tougher for them to add yet another RB to the backfield.”
– Andrew Erickson (FantasyPros)
“If you have Sam Darnold on any Superflex dynasty roster, you should be shipping him away. Darnold will experience downgrades across the board in 2025 from play-caller, offensive line, and surrounding skill player talent. Darnold still has some of the Minnesota shine left on his dynasty outlook. That won’t last long. It’s time to move him immediately. ”
– Derek Brown (FantasyPros)
Occasionally, our Featured Pros disagree on whether a player is a buy or a sell. When that happens, we just present both arguments and let you decide which one you agree with.
Buy
“Davante Adams is a buy if you’re looking to contend this year in dynasty. Adams proved last year that he isn’t washed up. In Weeks 7-18, among 120 wide receivers with a minimum of 100 routes run, he ranked 27th in separation score and 34th in route win rate. After Week 11, his overall separation score was the 16th-best, and his route win rate was the 15th-best (per Fantasy Points Data). If I’m going for it all in 2025, I’d have no issues with shipping off a 2025 or 2026 second-round rookie pick for Adams.”
– Derek Brown (FantasyPros)
Sell
“He might not be entirely washed, but I want out of Davante Adams, even though he’s on the Rams now. He traveled from New York to Los Angeles, and boy, are his arms tired. With his best friend, Aaron Rodgers, as his QB, Adams finished as WR11 in PPR scoring. I just can’t see him doing that with Matt Stafford in LA, so I’m probably selling if I can get a good price for him.”
– Andrew Hall (FantasyPros)
Buy
“For wide receivers, the LA Chargers offensive coordinator, Greg Roman, isn’t in the least bit appealing, but for running backs, it’s another situation entirely. Najee Harris has been playing with poor quarterbacks his entire NFL career, from late-stage Ben Roethlisberger to Kenny Pickett and then a mish-mash of Russell Wilson and Justin Fields, all the while with average to bad offensive coordinators and, frankly, awful offensive line play. Now, Harris, who hasn’t lived up to his Round 1 draft stock, finds himself playing with Justin Herbert behind an offensive line with some real upside and for a coordinator who knows how to create lanes. With only Kimani Vidal behind Harris, there is a good chance Harris could beat his career-high of 307 rushing attempts this year. I’d give up a pick as high as the 2.03 in Superflex leagues to get Harris.”
– Tom Strachan (NFL Best Ball)
Sell
“Buying veteran RBs during the offseason tends to result in poor ROI. Ergo, if there’s a veteran RB who has seen a boost to his stock on a new team, I’d take full advantage to capitalize. For me, Najee Harris is a strong sell in dynasty formats. He is only on a one-year deal, and his stock could fall dramatically if LA invests in another RB during the draft. I am putting Harris on the trade block with hopes of getting a late 2025 first in return. Heck, I’d flip Harris for Jayden Reed, Dak Prescott (SuperFlex), Jaylen Waddle, Ricky Pearsall, or Chris Olave. I’d even take Jaylen Warren straight up.”
– Andrew Erickson (FantasyPros)
“Interest in Najee Harris has been rekindled now that he’s signed with the Chargers, and this seems like a good opportunity to sell. After amassing 10 touchdowns and nearly 1,700 yards from scrimmage as a rookie in 2021, Najee has been merely adequate the last three years, averaging about 60 rushing yards and about 10 to 15 receiving yards a game. He’s been durable — Najee hasn’t missed a game over his four-year career — but not especially prolific. His yearly finishes in PPR points per game over the last three seasons: RB19, RB32, and RB25. I think there’s a decent chance the Chargers draft a running back to share the load, and with this rookie RB class so loaded, it’s possible the Chargers will find a running back better than Najee. I’d be willing to deal Najee for an early second-round pick or a promising young receiver like Jayden Reed or Keon Coleman.”
– Pat Fitzmaurice (FantasyPros)
Buy
“Give me all of the DK Metcalf. I don’t even care who the QB is there; he will be the squeaky wheel and get plenty of targets alongside George Pickens on the other side of the field. Even if they stick with Jaylen Warren at RB, Metcalf should get plenty of opportunities to shine. Given how much the Steelers wanted him, I am fully on board with him having a great season again.”
– Andrew Hall (FantasyPros)
“Interest in D.K. Metcalf seems pretty tepid within the dynasty community these days, but I’m happy to buy the dip. Metcalf is coming off a mildly disappointing season (66 catches for 992 yards and five touchdowns), and he’s in a somewhat ambiguous situation in Pittsburgh. He’ll have to share targets with George Pickens, with those targets coming from a yet-to-be-identified starting quarterback. But at 27, Metcalf should be squarely in his prime, he’s been durable, and he’s never had fewer than 900 receiving yards in any of his six NFL seasons. If my dynasty team were RB-rich and WR-poor, I’d be willing to trade Kyren Williams or Josh Jacobs for Metcalf straight up. And with a dynasty team that I expect to contend for a title in 2025, I’d trade a later first-round rookie pick for Metcalf.”
– Pat Fitzmaurice (FantasyPros)
Sell
“I’ve never been a big fan of DK Metcalf in dynasty leagues. However, I am completely out on the former Ole Miss star after getting traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers this offseason. The Steelers’ current 2025 Week 1 starting quarterback is Mason Rudolph. While the team could add Aaron Rodgers or a rookie quarterback during the NFL Draft, Metcalf won’t have an ideal quarterback throwing him the ball anytime soon. More importantly, the veteran is coming off the worst fantasy performance of his career since his rookie year. Last season, he finished as the WR32, averaging 10.5 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. Furthermore, it was the first time the veteran had fewer than six receiving touchdowns in a year. I would happily trade away Metcalf for a 2027 first-round rookie pick.”
– Mike Fanelli (FantasyPros)
“No wide receiver has ever seen more than 119 targets in a season when Arthur Smith is their offensive coordinator, which will represent a dip in volume for Metcalf, who has surpassed that number in four of his five seasons, only missing out because of injuries in 2024. There is also the small matter of a complete lack of a quarterback for the Steelers, which seems noteworthy. Even in what now seems like the best-case scenario with the Steelers signing Aaron Rodgers, does his play style suit the physical and contested catch methods that Metcalf is known for? Rodgers loves taking the safe play and Metcalf doesn’t represent that. If I can get a first-round pick for Metcalf, I’d take it.”

The post Dynasty Trade Advice: 6 Players on New Teams to Buy or Sell (2025 Fantasy Football) appeared first on FantasyPros.
PHOENIX — When former Arizona State standout Gage Workman was picked in December’s Rule 5 Draft by the Chicago Cubs, his father, Widd, quickly pulled up their schedule.
“He was like, ‘Wow, you open up with the D-backs,'” Workman told Arizona Sports on Sunday.
There were no guarantees Workman would make it that far, but fast forward to Saturday, the Sun Devil and Chandler native took the field for his major league debut against his hometown team.
“You couldn’t write it up any better,” Workman said. “It’s been really cool. Just family everywhere. It’s just a special thing.
“I don’t know (how many people came out to watch), so many, I mean, people that I probably didn’t even know were here. There’s too many to count.”
He called his wife and his parents after learning he’d be in the starting nine at third base, joking the news then spread like wildfire.
Workman went 0-for-2 but made a slick backhanded play to retire Arizona’s Eugenio Suarez. The Cubs defeated the Diamondbacks, 4-3.
Now 25 years old, Workman is hoping to establish himself as a major leaguer, part of a storied lineage of Sun Devils in the pros. He’s not alone, as he has former ASU teammates around the majors and minors, such as Detroit’s Spencer Torkelson and Kansas City’s Alec Marsh.
Workman played three seasons (2018-20) at Phoenix Municipal Stadium after his high school days at Basha. He was an All-Pac-12 honorable mention in 2019 after hitting .330 and slugging .528 in 57 games game for the NCAA Tournament-bound Sun Devils. ASU lost in the regionals but came back in 2020 with Omaha aspirations as the No. 3 team on Baseball America’s preseason rankings. Workman played all 17 games before the season was cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Detroit Tigers drafted him in the fourth round the ensuing summer.
Workman said he stays in touch with his ASU teammates, but they try not to dwell on what could have been.
“A bunch of them sent me congratulations texts, and they’re pretty involved, and a lot of them are still playing,” Workman said.
“With Spencer Torkelson, Alika Williams, Trevor Hauver, (Drew) Swift, Carter Aldrete, Hunter Bishop, all those guys we stay in touch and talk about those seasons.”
After four years in Detroit’s system, Workman became Rule 5 eligible, and the Cubs took a shot on the switch-hitter.
If Workman did not make the team, he likely would have been sent back to Detroit to resume his development there. He had yet to reach Triple-A with the Tigers.
He responded with a terrific spring, hitting .364 with four home runs, a double and a triple in the Cactus League.
“Just a blessing that I have the opportunity to play here, opportunity to try to make this team and then make this team is, I mean, more than I dreamed of,” Workman said.
Gage Workman continues to mash!

There have been 118 ASU players to make the major leagues, which ranks third in the country, according to Baseball Almanac. Arizona State is one player back of USC and two away from Texas on top.
The Reno Aces placed catcher Adrian Del Castillo on the seven-day injured list on Saturday, according to the transactions list.

Del Castillo was optioned to Triple-A Reno last week, losing the Diamondbacks’ opening day backup catcher spot to Jose Herrera.
The earliest Del Castillo can return to action is April 6.
Del Castillo appeared in nine spring training games for Arizona in 2025. He slashed .125/.125/.167 with a .292 OPS in 24 plate appearances. He recorded three hits and struck out 12 times.
He suffered a minor lower back/side issue, which cut short his time in the Cactus League.
Catcher René Pinto cleared waivers and was outrighted to Reno.
The Reno Aces played their first game of the season Friday, losing 3-2 to the Las Vegas Aviators.
D-backs’ prospect Jordan Lawler struck out twice in four plate appearances.

St. Louis Cardinals: The Cardinals have an ideal setup this week, ranking as the top team for hitters. They face weak pitching matchups, including favorable spots against Kyle Hendricks (SP 387) and Richard Fitts (SP 227). With four matchups against right-handed pitchers and two against lefties, Cardinals hitters across the board are poised for a productive week.
Arizona Diamondbacks: With favorable matchups against several middling starters such as Carlos Carrasco (SP 362), Trevor Williams (SP 184), and Mitchell Parker (SP 135), the Diamondbacks hitters should have ample opportunities to rack up counting stats. This could be an especially strong week for Arizona’s power bats against weaker competition in hitter-friendly environments.
Detroit Tigers: Detroit has quietly favorable pitching matchups, including three matchups against pitchers ranked 248 or worse. With only one challenging outing (Luis Castillo, SP 20), Detroit hitters may offer sneaky streaming value for fantasy managers needing offense.
Minnesota Twins: Minnesota’s hitters have enticing matchups against lower-tier pitchers like Martin Perez (SP 385) and Seth Burke (SP 209), while avoiding any truly elite pitchers. Five matchups against righties offer additional upside for Twins hitters who fare better against RHPs.
Los Angeles Dodgers: Dodgers hitters are facing an exceptionally tough slate, including matchups with ace-level arms like Chris Sale (SP 5), Tyler Glasnow (SP 8), Aaron Nola (SP 25), and Jesus Luzardo (SP 63). Even their easier matchups are only average at best, making Dodgers hitters risky starts this week.
Houston Astros: The Astros have a difficult week ahead, facing a series of strong right-handed pitchers including Logan Webb (SP 12), Joe Ryan (SP 26), and Bailey Ober (SP 34). Managers should temper expectations and consider alternatives, especially for fringe Astros hitters.
Tampa Bay Rays: Tampa Bay hitters face a brutal schedule highlighted by matchups with Jacob deGrom (SP 9), Paul Skenes (SP 3), and Mitch Keller (SP 79). With six matchups exclusively against righties and several against elite arms, Rays hitters could significantly underperform their season averages.
