Christopher Bell of Joe Gibbs Racing finished third after having an up-and-down day at Circuit of the Americas during the DuraMAX Grand Prix. Bell started the race from eighth place, and early on in the first stage, he made it up to the top five. The No. 20 Toyota driver then dropped to sixth before heading to pit road with four laps before the end of the stage. This left Bell to finish in 28th at the end of the first stage after many other drivers stayed out of pit road. Through the entire second stage, Bell was stuck in traffic and could barely make moves through the pack. He ended the second stage in 15th and failed to score stage points through the entire race. At one point in the final stage, Bell traded paint a few times with Kyle Larson, but was able to continue. The No. 20 team decided to split the stage into two pit stops in order to win the race with a unique pit strategy, first enacting the plan with a lap 62 pit stop. Bell took his second pit stop during a lap 75 caution, which put him a couple of positions back, but he regained them over the course of the final run and made it up to third. The JGR driver did not have the speed to advance past third and finished there, earning his third consecutive top-5 finish at COTA.--Sean Engel - RotoBaller

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray's name has "surfaced repeatedly" in the New York Jets' offseason discussions, according to Connor Hughes of SNY. The Jets are reportedly keeping all options open when exploring a quarterback upgrade, but the idea of Murray heading to New York has gained plenty of traction. The veteran signal-caller and former No. 1 pick is in the middle of a five-year, $230.5 million contract with Arizona, but he's expected to be released this offseason. He had seven touchdowns and four turnovers through five games in his injury-shortened 2025 campaign, which was preceded by an ugly 15-turnover total in 2024. Despite injury and performance concerns, one source told Hughes that Murray offers athleticism and upside that the Jets won't find anywhere else. Specifically, that source said, "If the goal is basic competence, Murray can get you there." On the other hand, plenty of question marks persist. A different source reportedly told Hughes that signing Murray "would be a disaster" because of concerns about work ethic, leadership, and locker-room connectivity. We might not see any movement on the Murray front until the new league year begins later this month. However, once he's released by the Cardinals, we should at least keep an eye on the Jets as a potential suitor. The Minnesota Vikings, who might be looking to move on from J.J. McCarthy, have also been linked to Murray.--Andersen Pickard

Shane Van Gisbergen of Trackhouse Racing finished in second place in the DuraMAX Grand Prix at Circuit of the Americas. The No. 97 Chevrolet driver started the race in 13th place, but quickly made progress through the field in the first stage. SVG hit the top 10 in less than a lap and made it to third in 14 laps. By the end of the first stage, SVG placed second and earned stage points behind his teammate Ross Chastain. In the second stage, Van Gisbergen started back in the middle of the pack in 16th after pitting between stages, but quickly made it back to the top 10 in a lap. SVG made it up to the top five before heading to pit road two laps before the end of the stage. After returning to the track, SVG ended the second stage in 10th and added one more stage point. In the final stage, SVG was back inside the top five and slowly progressed to the front as the stage got closer to the end. SVG passed William Byron and Ryan Blaney before closing the gap to Tyler Reddick to compete for the win. Unfortunately for Van Gisbergen, he could not muster enough speed to get past Reddick, who made no mistakes, and left the Trackhouse driver finishing as the runner-up for the first time at COTA in the Cup Series, and also ending his streak of consecutive road course races at five wins.--Sean Engel - RotoBaller

23XI Racing's Tyler Reddick made NASCAR history by winning the DuraMAX Grand Prix at Circuit of the Americas, his third consecutive win to open the 2026 season. The No. 45 Toyota driver started the race in first after scoring the pole position in qualifying. In the first stage, Reddick focused on saving his tires and keeping the car in one piece, but this caused him to drop to the back half of the top 10. Although Reddick started to regain ground, he ended up pitting before the end of the first stage and dropped back to 18th, his final position at the end of the stage. In the second stage, Reddick shuffled back to the front after other drivers went to pit road for tires and fuel, taking the lead from Ryan Blaney. Reddick went on to dominate most of the stage until he pitted before the end of the second stage. Despite giving up the lead, Reddick maintained a large enough gap to the rest of the field outside of Ryan Blaney, who followed closely behind in the entire stage, to only fall to fifth, where he finished the stage. In the final stage, Reddick controlled the race once again from the lead after others went to pit road and never looked back. Despite Blaney and eventually Shane Van Gisbergen challenging Reddick for the win, the No. 45 driver could not be passed. No driver in modern NASCAR history has ever won the opening three races of the season until Reddick accomplished the feat this year, and also became the first driver to score two wins at COTA.--Sean Engel - RotoBaller

Houston Texans running back Woody Marks saw his outlook worsen on Monday after the team acquired David Montgomery from the Detroit Lions. While it's too early to tell how Marks and Montgomery will split snaps and touches, it's fair to say that the veteran might be the early favorite for the lead-back role. Montgomery had 908 scrimmage yards and eight touchdowns last year, ranking as the overall RB27 in PPR leagues. He posted an impressive 4.53 yards per carry, a mark that is significantly higher than Marks' 3.59 YPC as a rookie in 2025. Even with Joe Mixon sidelined and Nick Chubb taking a major step back, Marks was limited to just 911 scrimmage yards, two rushing touchdowns, and three receiving touchdowns. The USC product will continue to offer a change of pace and figures to play passing downs, but he will likely lose an enormous amount of early-down and goal-line work to Montgomery. Entering the 2026 NFL season, Montgomery ranks a bit higher in redraft leagues than dynasty formats due to his age, but he's still a strong RB2 or RB3 in both. Meanwhile, Marks drops to the low-end RB3/flex tier in redraft leagues. If there's any consolation here, Marks could be an intriguing buy-low candidate in dynasty leagues if the trade prompts managers to panic sell.--Andersen Pickard

Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs already entered this offseason atop the depth chart. Now, he essentially has the backfield all to himself after the Lions traded veteran running back David Montgomery to the Houston Texans. Gibbs played exactly 67% of the Lions' snaps last season, while Montgomery played 37.1%. A significant portion of the veteran's vacated snaps and touches will go to Gibbs, who has consistently impressed as a ball-carrier and receiver. He was the overall RB1 in full-PPR leagues in 2024, and he finished 2025 as the overall RB3. Through 17 games last season, he tallied 1,223 rushing yards, 77 catches, 616 receiving yards, and 18 total touchdowns. We would expect the Lions to sign or draft another running back who can offer a decent change of pace behind or alongside Gibbs, but there's a strong chance it won't be anyone of Montgomery's caliber. Therefore, this trade is great news for Gibbs, who is once again trending up. The young running back has a chance to be the overall RB1 in fantasy football leagues during 2026.--Andersen Pickard

Houston Astros designated hitter/outfielder Yordan Alvarez is making his Grapefruit League debut on Monday against the Washington Nationals, serving as the DH and batting second, according to Brian McTaggart of MLB.com. Alvarez isn't dealing with an injury, but the Astros chose to slow-play him this spring after he was limited to 48 games in 2025 due to ankle and hand injuries. To keep the 28-year-old left-handed slugger healthy all year, the Astros plan on using him primarily as a DH this year, while occasionally giving him some action in left field. The Cuban slugger made the All-Star team for three straight years from 2022 to 2024 and was annually one of the best all-around hitters in the game before struggling with injuries last year. Alvarez reached the 30-homer mark for four straight seasons from 2021-24, and he could easily bounce back in the power department in 2026 if he stays on the field.--Keith Hernandez

The Las Vegas Raiders are not expected to hire a quarterbacks coach for the 2026 season, according to Vincent Bonsignore of the California Post. Bonsignore said that the team reportedly "had candidates in mind, [but] it just didn't work out." On one hand, it's a bit of a perplexing development, given that the Raiders hold the No. 1 overall pick and are the heavy favorite to draft quarterback sensation Fernando Mendoza. It would make sense to have a full-time coach on the staff committed to developing Mendoza and making his transition to the NFL as seamless as possible. On the other hand, Vegas does have plenty of offensive gurus on its staff. Head coach Klint Kubiak was most recently the offensive coordinator in Seattle, and the Raiders also have assistant head coach Mike McCoy, who helped develop No. 1 pick Cameron Ward in Tennessee last season.--Andersen Pickard

X-rays on Washington Nationals outfielder Dylan Crews' left thumb were negative, and he is considered day-to-day, according to Mark Feinsand of MLB.com. Crews suffered a left-thumb contusion after getting hit by a pitch during live batting practice in camp on Saturday and was scratched from Sunday's Grapefruit League lineup. The 24-year-old isn't back in the lineup on Monday, either, but we should see him return to the field at some point this week. So far, Crews has gone 1-for-9 at the plate in spring training with a walk and three strikeouts. The former second overall pick in 2023 out of LSU hasn't lived up to lofty expectations in his first 116 major-league games, slashing .211/.282/.352 with a .634 OPS, 13 home runs, 35 RBI, 55 runs scored, and 29 stolen bases in 454 plate appearances. Crews missed considerable time last year with an oblique injury, though, and he's too young and too talented to write off completely.--Keith Hernandez

The Houston Texans have acquired running back David Montgomery from the Detroit Lions in exchange for offensive lineman Juice Scruggs, a fourth-round pick, and a seventh-round pick, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL.com. Montgomery remains productive at 28 years old, as he's coming off a solid 2025 season in which he totaled 716 rushing yards, 192 receiving yards, and eight touchdowns. He was the overall RB27 in full-PPR leagues, which was actually the lowest finish of his career. Still, it's impressive that he has been RB27 or higher every year, even when sharing a backfield with superstar running back Jahmyr Gibbs in Detroit. Montgomery will continue to share touches in Houston, where Woody Marks is coming off his rookie season. The veteran presumably has a strong chance to earn the lead-back role after Marks was relatively inefficient with just 3.6 yards per carry and only scored two rushing touchdowns. As Pelissero notes, general manager Nick Caserio could be hoping that Montgomery enjoys a resurgence similar to that of Joe Mixon, who had 1,325 scrimmage yards and 12 touchdowns after being traded to the Texans in 2024. Montgomery ranks a bit higher in redraft leagues than dynasty formats due to his age, but he's still a strong RB2 or RB3 in both. Meanwhile, Marks drops to the low-end RB3/flex tier in redraft leagues, but he could be an intriguing buy-low candidate in dynasty leagues if the Montgomery trade prompts managers to panic sell.--Andersen Pickard

The New York Giants are "heavily involved" in the running back market this offseason, both in free agency and the NFL draft, and SNY's Connor Hughes says to expect a strong push for established free-agent options, including Seattle Seahawks impending free-agent RB Kenneth Walker III. The Giants are also very interested in Notre Dame RB Jeremiyah Love and are expected to discuss him deeper into the draft process. New York already has Cam Skattebo (ankle) and Tyrone Tracy Jr. in their backfield, but perhaps they're wondering how long Skattebo will be able to hold up, given his physical style of play. The 25-year-old Walker finally stayed healthy for a full season and had 1,027 rushing yards and a career-low five touchdowns in 17 regular-season games. He was even better in the playoffs, running for 313 yards and four touchdowns in three games, culminating in a Super Bowl MVP award. Walker will be one of the top available free-agent RBs this offseason, although a move to New York could put him in a three-headed monster backfield committee.--Keith Hernandez

The Cleveland Browns acquired right tackle Tytus Howard from the Houston Texans on Monday in exchange for a fifth-round pick, sources told Dianna Russini of The Athletic. The 29-year-old started 16 games in each of the last two seasons for Houston and was set to enter the final year of his deal in 2026. The Browns and Howard have agreed on a new three-year, $63 million contract extension. Cleveland entered the offseason needing some serious upgrades on their offensive line. Howard will give them stability at the right tackle position with Jack Conklin likely to be cut this offseason. Howard, a former first-rounder, has been inconsistent as a run-blocker, but he should be an improvement for the Browns as far as pass protection goes. The Alabama State alumni can also shift inside to guard, if needed.--Keith Hernandez

Pittsburgh Pirates right-handed pitching prospect Bubba Chandler stumbled in his second outing of spring training on Sunday afternoon. The top pitching prospect entered the game in relief behind Braxton Ashcraft and struggled, tossing 1 1/3 innings of two-run ball. In this brief appearance, Chandler allowed a high three walks with only two strikeouts. Chandler has now logged three innings in the spring with six earned runs and a modest 4:7 K:BB. Last summer, Chandler struggled with his command at Triple-A, which kept him in the minor leagues for most of the season. However, in the majors, Chandler looked far more comfortable, allowing only four total free passes over 31 2/3 innings. Managers should continue to keep a close eye on his progression in camp. While he remains locked into a starring role, Chandler could see his upside significantly capped due to his inconsistent command.--Andy Smith

Milwaukee Brewers infield prospect Jett Williams (quadriceps) is dealing with left quad soreness. He sustained this injury during last week's spring training contest. The young infielder has been held out of action since then. However, Brewers manager Pat Murphy noted that the injury is a "2 out of 10" on the severity scale, which suggests the infielder should be back in action in the coming days. The Brewers acquired Williams from the New York Mets as the headliner piece in the deal that sent right-handed pitcher Freddy Peralta to Queens earlier in the winter. Williams is in the mix to compete for a starting role out of spring training, but will likely be sent to Triple-A to open the 2026 season. Last summer, Williams struggled over his first 36 games at Triple-A, holding a .209/.285/.433 line. He remains a viable early-season stash target in deeper 12+ team formats.--Andy Smith

Houston Astros shortstop/outfield prospect Brice Matthews has enjoyed a hot start to spring training and is making a strong case to earn a spot on the Opening Day roster. The team's top prospect (according to MLB.com) has gone 4-for-10 at the plate with one double and one stolen base. Matthews progressed through the minors as a shortstop but has begun to see time in the outfield, given Houston's immense infield depth. Last summer, the former 28th overall pick made his MLB debut and held a .167/.222/.452 line with four home runs and one stolen base across a brief 13-game stint. He spent most of the summer at Triple-A Sugar Land, where he held a .260/.371/.458 line with 17 home runs and 41 swiped bases over a 112-game stint. Given Houston's lack of proven options in the outfield, Matthews could be worth a late-round selection given his power and speed upside.--Andy Smith

Boston Celtics forward/center Neemias Queta delivered 27 points, 17 rebounds, three blocks, two assists and one steal in 27 minutes during Sunday's 114-98 win over the 76ers. Queta shot 10-for-14 from the field and continues to solidify his hold on the starting role. Over his last five games, he has averaged 13.8 points, 9.6 rebounds, 2.0 blocks and 1.6 assists in 24.6 minutes, flashing reliable interior production. With Nikola Vucevic working off the bench, Queta profiles as a firm hold in standard leagues, while Vucevic shifts toward deeper-league value unless the rotation changes.--Brian Dailisan

New York Yankees outfield prospect Spencer Jones has already launched three long balls through the opening week of spring training. Across his first five games, the young slugger has gone 3-for-10 with three home runs, one stolen base, and a 4:2 K:BB. The 24-year-old flashed elite upside in the minor leagues last season and appears poised to contend for his MLB debut later in 2026. He opened the 2025 campaign with Double-A and posted a .274/.389/.594 line with eight doubles, 16 home runs, and 10 stolen bases. He then moved up to Triple-A, where he continued to hit for high power, launching 19 home runs with 15 doubles and 19 stolen bases across a 67-game stint. However, his hefty 36.7% K% at Triple-A raises concerns about his long-term outlook. With the Yankee outfield quite crowded following the re-signing of Cody Bellinger, Jones figures to earn a promotion as an injury replacement later in the season.--Andy Smith

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (knee) will be re-evaluated in 10 days, ruling him out for at least the next five games. Curry has already missed 10 straight contests with what he described as an unpredictable right knee issue. His absence keeps the backcourt usage spread across Brandin Podziemski, De'Anthony Melton, and Pat Spencer. Podziemski logged 30 minutes with nine points, seven rebounds, and six assists in the last game, while Melton added 10 points and four assists. Podziemski is the safest hold, Melton remains a mid-tier option, and Spencer is a deeper-league assist streamer.--Brian Dailisan

Golden State Warriors forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Clippers, marking his fifth straight absence. Porzingis practiced Friday but will remain sidelined until at least Thursday against Houston. In his absence, Draymond Green and Al Horford continue to anchor the frontcourt. Horford logged 22 minutes with eight points, five rebounds, and two triples in the last game, while Quinten Post added eight points and seven rebounds in 13 minutes. Horford is more of a fringe deep-league play at this stage, while Post remains a risky, speculative option best reserved for managers chasing rebounds in very deep formats.--Brian Dailisan

Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop prospect Konnor Griffin launched his third home run of the spring during their contest on Sunday afternoon against the St. Louis Cardinals. The top prospect hit a two-run shot in the game's opening frame off right-handed pitcher Kyle Leahy. While Griffin has shown immense upside, hitting three home runs over his first six games, he has posted a modest .214 AVG with a low .267 OBP as all three of his total hits have left the yard. Fantasy managers should continue to pay close attention to his production in camp, as he could contend for an early-season promotion or even crack the Opening Day lineup. Last summer, Griffin made his MiLB debut and was nothing short of dominant across his first 122 games, posting an elite .333/.415/.527 line with 21 home runs and 65 stolen bases. Given his five-category upside, he should be viewed as a high-end stash target in all formats if he were to fall short of the Opening Day roster.--Andy Smith

Denver Nuggets guard/forward Cameron Johnson (ankle) exited Sunday's 117-108 loss to the Timberwolves in the fourth quarter and did not return, finishing with four rebounds and three assists in 23 minutes. Johnson came in dealing with right ankle soreness, had trouble finding his rhythm, and now has little recovery time before the trip to Utah. If he sits, Tim Hardaway Jr. becomes the most appealing fantasy option after logging 36 minutes with 17 points and three triples.

Dostal has gone 24-13-2 across 40 starts. He's the first Ducks netminder this decade with as many wins in a season. The Czech netminder has won each of his last five starts and is on an 11-1-0 run. Even with a modest .896 save percentage and a 2.97 goals-against average, Dostal is well-positioned for further success thanks to the Ducks' potent offense, which averages 3.25 goals per game.--Taavi Pailk

Philadelphia Phillies right-handed pitching prospect Andrew Painter was sharp in his spring training debut and is making a strong case to earn the final role in the starting rotation at the beginning of the campaign. Painter was given the starting nod on Sunday afternoon and tossed two shutout frames. He did not allow a hit or a walk and struck out one hitter. His command was a glaring issue during his 2025 season, and seeing him toss two clean frames is an excellent sign for his early-season outlook. In 2025, the former first-round selection spent most of the campaign at Triple-A Lehigh Valley and logged 106 2/3 innings to the tune of a 5.40 ERA, 1.55 WHIP, and a 111:46 K:BB. With Zack Wheeler (shoulder) set to miss the start of the season, Painter appears poised to begin the season as the team's final starter and could remain in that role if he enjoys a strong start. He is a top late-round sleeper pick when looking for an upside starter.--Andy Smith

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Klay Thompson (adductor) did not return to Sunday's game against the Thunder after sustaining a right-adductor contusion in the second quarter. Thompson finished with seven points and one assist in 14 minutes before being ruled out. His absence leaves second-unit wing minutes up for grabs, and A.J. Johnson stepped into a larger workload with 23 minutes, six points, four rebounds, four assists, and one steal in the loss. If Thompson is sidelined, Johnson should get the first crack at those minutes, but he is still more of a gamble than a lock. Max Christie should continue to handle steady minutes, while Khris Middleton is the safer bet for consistent touches and secondary scoring if Dallas tightens the rotation.--Brian Dailisan

Los Angeles Clippers guard Kris Dunn (head) left Sunday's win over the Pelicans after taking an inadvertent elbow to the back of his head and did not return. Coach Tyronn Lue said Dunn was "good" postgame, and with the outcome already decided, the issue does not appear serious. Dunn is averaging 27.7 minutes with a modest 13.3 percent usage rate, so his value leans on steady playing time more than offensive involvement. That role could tighten soon. Darius Garland (toe) is reportedly targeting a Monday return, and his 28.1 percent usage would shift ball-handling away from Dunn. In standard leagues, Dunn profiles as a deeper-league hold, with Garland and Bennedict Mathurin positioned to benefit most if minutes shift.--Brian Dailisan

Both goals helped Anaheim tie the game, with Gauthier's second marker coming on the power play. The 22-year-old had several more scoring chances, finishing with a game-high nine shots on goal. Gauthier has been hot in front of the net recently, averaging a goal per game over his last five outings. He leads the Ducks with 28 goals and 52 points in 58 games.

Bennedict Mathurin is the more appealing fantasy target after logging 25 minutes with nine points and five rebounds in the blowout. Nicolas Batum chipped in nine points, four assists, and three triples in 20 minutes, though his limited role and up-and-down production keep him in the deep-league streamer bucket.--Brian Dailisan

After missing the start of the season due to offseason surgery, Tkachuk has posted five goals and eight assists in 13 games. 10 of his points have come in the last eight contests, showing that Tkachuk has hit top gear after dealing with some rust. He also played well in the Olympics, contributing six assists in six games during Team USA's road to glory.--Taavi Pailk

He is now the fourth rookie blue-liner to score 20 goals in a season, while Denis Potvin was previously the only defenseman to reach 20 goals with the Islanders. Schaefer has exceeded expectations in his first year in the league, recording 44 points (20 goals, 24 assists), 146 shots, 84 blocks, and a plus-14 rating in 61 outings. He has a legitimate shot at reaching 60 points, something only 10 rookie defensemen have ever accomplished.--Taavi Pailk
