Kenny Atkinson to Remain Cavaliers Head Coach Next Season
Cleveland Cavaliers head coach Kenny Atkinson is expected to remain with the organization for the 2026-2027 season. There was speculation that the Cavs would let go of Atkinson following the team's poor performance against the New York Knicks in the Conference Finals. The Cavs blew a 22-point lead in Game 1 of that series and were eventually swept by the Knicks. Despite a tough ending, Atkinson is expected to return for a third season with the Cavs. The front office has some big decisions to make regarding the status of Donovan Mitchell and James Harden. Regardless of the roster construction, Atkinson should be back next season.

Josh Jacobs Arrested on Five Charges, Booked Into Jail
Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs has been arrested on five charges and booked into the Brown County Jail earlier on Tuesday, according to Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. According to the report, the running back has been charged with battery, criminal damage of property, disorderly conduct, strangulation and suffocation, and intimidation of a victim. While the league has yet to issue an official statement on the event, fantasy managers should closely monitor the situation, as he may be handed some form of punishment. Last season, Jacobs continued to operate as Green Bay's lead running back, punching in 13 scores on the ground while totaling 929 rushing yards. In the event Jacobs is forced to miss time due to a suspension, MarShawn Lloyd and Chris Brooks will likely operate as the lead backs on the roster.

Claude Giroux Planning to Return for 20th NHL Campaign
Ottawa Senators forward Claude Giroux is ready to continue his NHL career, TSN's Pierre LeBrun reports. "I was told Monday that the 38-year-old forward, an unrestricted free agent on July 1, has decided he wants to come back and play another season," LeBrun wrote in The Athletic. Giroux has spent four seasons in Ottawa and played on a one-year, $2 million deal in 2025-26. The Senators received decent value for their money, as Giroux ranked second on the team with a plus-20 rating and had 49 points (14 goals, 35 assists) in 82 games. Midway through next season, Giroux will turn 39, but he looks capable of flirting with another 50-point campaign, whether in Ottawa or elsewhere.

Cardinals Receiving Trade Calls on Josh Sweat
The Arizona Cardinals have received trade calls on Pro Bowl defensive end Josh Sweat, sources told Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports. Sweat recorded a career-high 12 sacks in his first year in the desert in 2025 and had a close relationship with former head coach Jonathan Gannon, who was fired following last season. The 29-year-old pass-rusher also had 30 tackles (20 solo), 13 tackles for loss, 17 QB hits, four forced fumbles, and a fumble recovery in 17 starts for the Cardinals in his eighth year in the NFL. The Cardinals gave Sweat a four-year, $76.4 million deal in free agency last March after he spent the first seven seasons of his career with the Philadelphia Eagles, but they could be moving on from him after just one season. Sweat finished tied for eighth in the NFL in sacks in 2025 and finished as the No. 20 defensive lineman in IDP fantasy formats.

Carter Hart Aiming for Sixth Consecutive Win Tuesday
Vegas Golden Knights goaltender Carter Hart will look to extend his winning streak to six games on Tuesday night against the Colorado Avalanche. He hasn't suffered any defeats since Game 5 of the second-round matchup with the Anaheim Ducks, allowing more than two goals just once. Thanks to this hot streak, Hart boasts an impressive 11-4 postseason record. He has allowed 2.30 goals with a .923 save percentage. Before facing Vegas, the Avalanche averaged 4.11 goals in the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs, but Hart has limited Nathan MacKinnon's crew to just 2.00 goals per game.

Tetairoa McMillan Working With the Training Staff on Tuesday
Carolina Panthers second-year wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan (undisclosed) is not practicing with the rest of the team during OTA practice on Tuesday and is working with the training staff, according to Joe Person of The Athletic. The Panthers haven't announced a specific injury for McMillan, but it's expected to be a minor ailment as the club begins their OTAs this week. The 23-year-old impressed in his first year in the NFL in 2025 after Carolina selected him with the eighth overall pick out of the University of Arizona. McMillan quickly developed a strong relationship with quarterback Bryce Young and was his go-to target all year, leading the team with 70 receptions, 1,014 yards, and seven touchdowns on 122 targets across 17 regular-season starts. He finished as the WR15 in half-PPR scoring and will be a high-end WR2 target in fantasy drafts this fall with upside to become a true WR1 in his sophomore season for the Panthers. The arrow is pointing directly up after McMillan was named the NFL's Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2025.

Evgeni Malkin Inks New One-Year Deal With Penguins
Pittsburgh Penguins forward Evgeni Malkin will remain with the team for one more year. The veteran star was headed for unrestricted free agency before agreeing to a one-year, $5.5 million deal with Pittsburgh. According to TSN's Chris Johnston, Malkin's new contract includes several bonuses, including $1 million if the Penguins make the playoffs. The deal has a maximum value of $9 million. Malkin is coming off a contract with a $6.1 million cap hit. In 2025-26, Malkin averaged at least a point per game for the first time in three seasons. He finished with 19 goals and 42 assists in 56 games. Unfortunately, health issues meant Malkin struggled to stay in the lineup, but he proved he's still a difference-maker on offense near age 40.

White Sox Prospect Billy Carlson Suffers Fractured Thumb
Chicago White Sox shortstop Billy Carlson (thumb), who is ranked by MLB Pipeline as the team's No. 5 prospect, suffered a non-displaced fracture of the tip of his left thumb while scoring during a game on May 23, according to Scott Merkin of MLB.com. Carlson's thumb will be placed in a splint, and he's expected to need four to six weeks to heal. The 19-year-old was the 10th overall pick in last year's June draft out of Corona High School in California. In his first 39 games as a professional this year for Single-A Kannapolis, Carlson has hit .257/.386/.340 with a .727 OPS, no homers, 10 doubles, 11 RBI, eight stolen bases, and 25 runs scored across 177 plate appearances. Carlson obviously still has a lot of developing to do on the farm, and he's a defense-first prospect at the moment. At the plate, he tends to get overly aggressive with a long swing, which isn't a recipe for success. In dynasty/keeper leagues, he's merely a name to watch.

Mackenzie Blackwood in Net for Game 4 Against Golden Knights
Colorado Avalanche goaltender Mackenzie Blackwood will start Game 4 against the Vegas Golden Knights on Tuesday night, ESPN's Emily Kaplan reports. Scott Wedgewood has struggled against Vegas, recording a .877 save percentage, prompting Colorado to make a change in goal with elimination looming. Blackwood has seen action in three playoff games, posting a 1-0 record, a 3.20 goals-against average, and a .872 save percentage. He lost his lone start 3-2 in overtime against Vegas during the regular season, finishing with a .897 save percentage after facing 29 SOG.

Spencer Schwellenbach Does Some Light Tossing on Tuesday
Atlanta Braves right-hander Spencer Schwellenbach (elbow) is with the team in Boston this week and did some light throwing at Fenway Park on Tuesday, according to Chad Bishop of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Schwellenbach is only throwing on flat ground right now, but it's progress after he underwent surgery back in February to remove bone spurs from his right elbow. The 25-year-old former second-round pick in 2021 out of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln has already been ruled out for the first half of the 2026 season through the All-Star break in mid-July, but that doesn't mean he's not a stash candidate in fantasy baseball leagues. Schwellenbach was really impressive for the Braves in his first two years in the majors in 2024 and 2025, going 15-11 with a 3.23 ERA (3.27 FIP) and 1.01 WHIP with a 25.2% strikeout rate and 4.4% walk rate. He's one of the better upside stashes among pitchers at this juncture, and he's available in 70% of Yahoo leagues.

Valeri Nichushkin a Game-Time Call Tuesday
Colorado Avalanche winger Valeri Nichushkin (lower body) is a game-time decision against the Vegas Golden Knights on Tuesday, ESPN's Emily Kaplan reports. The Russian forward sustained a lower-body injury in Game 3 and did not participate in Tuesday's optional morning skate. Nathan MacKinnon (lower body) also sat out the morning skate but is expected to play. Having Nichushkin available would be a further boost for the Avalanche, who face elimination on Tuesday night. He has one goal in three games in the series, though Nichushkin has been quiet for much of the postseason. In 12 outings, he has recorded four points (two goals, two assists). Joel Kiviranta will likely enter the lineup if Nichushkin is ultimately ruled out.

Quinn Priester to Make his Next Rehab Start on Wednesday
Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Quinn Priester (shoulder) will make his next minor-league rehab start on Wednesday with Triple-A Nashville and is scheduled for five ups or 80 to 85 pitches, according to Brewer Fanatic's Jack Stern. Priester recently restarted a rehab assignment with Nashville last week and didn't look great, allowing five earned runs on five hits while walking three in three innings. It was an improvement over the 26-year-old's previous start with High-A Wisconsin, though, when he surrendered seven earned runs in just 1 1/3 innings of work. It's good news that Priester will ramp up his workload this week, but the former first-rounder's results in the minors as he works his way back from thoracic outlet syndrome symptoms haven't been very encouraging. In five rehab starts, he has an eye-popping 20.25 ERA and 3.32 WHIP with nine strikeouts and 14 walks in 9 1/3 frames. Until Priester can get his control in check, he won't be an attractive stash candidate for fantasy managers in mixed leagues. He's currently rostered in only 16% of Yahoo leagues.

Nathan MacKinnon Will Suit Up Tuesday
Colorado Avalanche center Nathan MacKinnon (lower body) will play in Game 4 against the Vegas Golden Knights on Tuesday, ESPN's Emily Kaplan reports. After suffering a lower-body injury, MacKinnon was used sparingly in the third period of Game 3, and it was initially unclear whether he would be available for Game 4. According to Avalanche head coach Jared Bednar, the star forward felt much better on Tuesday morning and is expected to play in all situations. MacKinnon leads the Avalanche with seven goals and 15 points in 12 postseason games. He has gone scoreless only once in his last nine appearances.

Brandon Woodruff to Throw Live Batting Practice Next Week
Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Brandon Woodruff (shoulder) will throw a live batting practice session of four ups or 60 pitches next week, according to Jack Stern of Brewer Fanatic. Woodruff is making slow progress after landing on the 15-day injured list in late April with what the team called right-shoulder inflammation. The 33-year-old veteran wasn't pitching terribly before going on the IL, but the two-time All-Star's velocity was noticeably down, and the team initially believed he was dealing with a dead-arm phase. It's worth noting that Woodruff got a late start to the 2025 season after recovering from right-shoulder surgery that wiped out his entire 2024 campaign. While his latest shoulder issue isn't necessarily related, it's more concerning since he recently had surgery on the same arm. It's unclear if Woodruff will need to eventually go on a minor-league rehab assignment, but the Brewers could really use him back after just placing Logan Henderson (back) on the IL. For his track record alone as a fantasy ace before his shoulder issues, Woodruff is worth stashing while he recovers. He is rostered in 87% of Yahoo leagues right now.

Is it Time for Dynasty Managers to Drop Jerome Ford?
After spending the first four years of his career with the Cleveland Browns, veteran running back Jerome Ford signed a one-year contract with the Washington Commanders for the 2026 season. Ford is coming off a down year in Cleveland, as he collected just 176 yards from scrimmage on 50 touches across 13 games played. The Commanders' backfield is unsettled at the top entering 2026, and could offer Ford a chance to reclaim significant playing time. However, Washington has several capable backs between Jacory Croskey-Merritt, Rachaad White, Jeremy McNichols, and 2026 sixth-rounder Kaytron Allen. Given the crowded depth chart around him, Ford could completely fall out of the mix for backfield touches early on in 2026. In dynasty formats, fantasy managers should consider moving on from Ford as he enters his age-27 season.

Josh Jung Returns From Shoulder Injury to Face Houston on Tuesday
The Texas Rangers really missed third baseman Josh Jung (shoulder) when they were no-hit by three different pitchers in Monday's loss at Globe Life Field to the Houston Astros. Jung will re-enter the starting lineup for Tuesday's contest against Astros right-hander Jason Alexander after missing the last two games with a left-shoulder injury that he suffered on Saturday against the Los Angeles Angels. He is back at third base and will hit cleanup on Tuesday. Fantasy managers will want to get the 28-year-old right-handed slugger back in their lineups in all traditional formats, as the former eighth overall pick out of Texas Tech in 2019 has been one of the most consistent hitters in baseball this year. He enters Tuesday's tilt against the Astros with a .302/.357/.462 slash line, .818 OPS, five home runs, 21 RBI, 22 runs, and a steal in 182 at-bats. Jung has only faced Alexander twice in his career, but he has a home run and two RBI against him.

John Metchie III Poised for Breakout Season with New Team in 2026?
Entering 2026, Carolina Panthers wide receiver John Metchie III will be playing for his fourth team in four NFL seasons. The 25-year-old started 2025 with the Philadelphia Eagles, earning just four targets across seven games with the team. A midseason trade to the New York Jets allowed him more playing time, and he hauled in 29 catches for 256 yards and two scores on 44 targets across nine games with New York. With the Panthers, Metchie III's playing time is far from guaranteed. However, outside of 2025 first-round wideout Tetairoa McMillan, no Carolina wideout has ever recorded 50 receptions in a season. Metchie III should also have existing chemistry with Panthers quarterback Bryce Young, as the two of them played their college football together at the University of Alabama. In deeper dynasty formats, Metchie III could be a worthy buy-low dart throw for fantasy managers entering 2026.

Hunter Greene Throws Successful Bullpen on Tuesday
Cincinnati Reds right-hander Hunter Greene (elbow) threw his first bullpen session on Tuesday, and it went well, according to Charlie Goldsmith of FOX 19. Greene, who is currently on the 60-day injured list, is on the mend from surgery he had in mid-March during spring training to remove bone chips from his right elbow. It's a positive step, but the hard-throwing right-hander will likely need at least a handful of bullpen sessions before the Reds clear him to face live hitters. Eventually, he'll also require a minor-league rehab assignment. In a best-case scenario, Greene is probably around a month away from returning to Cincy's starting rotation to make his 2026 season debut. Despite the lengthy absence, the 26-year-old former second overall pick in 2017 is a strong stash candidate in fantasy baseball leagues for his ace upside when he's healthy. He is currently rostered in only 62% of Yahoo leagues, and fantasy managers may want to consider picking him up sooner rather than later. Greene could be a difference-maker in the second half of 2026.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Still Out With Elbow Injury
Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (elbow) will miss a second straight start on Tuesday due to a right-elbow contusion against the visiting Miami Marlins, according to MLB.com. Lenyn Sosa will make another start at first base at Rogers Centre and will bat ninth against Marlins right-hander Sergio Alcantara. Guerrero is day-to-day after being hit by a pitch in Sunday's loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates, and he was available off the bench in Monday's series opener against the Fish, although he did not get into the game. Fantasy managers will want to check back on Wednesday to see if Vlad is back in action for the Jays. Those setting DFS lineups will want to steer clear of Sosa at the bottom of the batting order. He's also hitless in four career at-bats against Alcantara. Guerrero is in the 81st percentile in xwOBA on the year and is hitting a solid .287 (54-for-188), but he has just three home runs in 53 games and is in just the 57th percentile in hard-hit rate. There's still time to turn things around, but fantasy managers may begin to panic soon.

Is Jalen Milroe Still Worth Stashing in Dynasty Formats Entering 2026?
A third-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Seattle Seahawks quarterback Jalen Milroe appeared in just three games and did not record a pass attempt in his rookie season. With Sam Darnold locked in atop the Seattle QB depth chart, Milroe enters 2026 in a competition with Drew Lock for the team's backup job. Without an injury to Darnold, Milroe's path to immediate fantasy production is blocked off. However, the 23-year-old remains a solid stash candidate in dynasty formats because of his profile as a dual-threat quarterback. In his final collegiate season at the University of Alabama in 2024, Milroe threw for 2,844 yards and 16 touchdowns while rushing for 726 yards and 20 scores. In deeper leagues, Milroe could profile as a solid buy-low target for dynasty managers.

Nolan Schanuel Not Ready to Return From Calf Injury
Los Angeles Angels first baseman Nolan Schanuel (calf) remains absent from the team's starting lineup for Tuesday's tilt in Detroit against the Tigers, according to MLB.com. Schanuel is currently dealing with a tight left calf muscle and will miss a second straight game. It's something that he has dealt with before this season, so he should be considered day-to-day, and he could return for Wednesday's contest at Comerica Park. For the second straight game, infielder Vaughn Grissom will handle first-base duties and will back third for the Halos against Tigers right-hander Keider Montero. With a below-average power profile and on-base skills at first base, Schanuel isn't much to look at as a corner-infield option in mixed leagues, and he's currently slashing just .262/.313/.387 with a .700 OPS, only four long balls, 24 RBI, and 18 runs scored across his 191 at-bats. The former 11th overall pick in 2023 out of Florida Atlantic is rostered in only 13% of Yahoo leagues.

Is Kyle Pitts Sr. a Dynasty Sell-High Candidate Coming Off Breakout Season?
Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. had arguably the best season of his NFL career in 2025, recording 88 catches for 928 yards and five touchdowns on 118 targets across 17 games. Given that he is still just entering his age-26 season in 2026, Pitts Sr. could be poised for the superstar breakout that many projected when he entered the league as the number four overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. However, Pitts Sr. has largely been an inconsistent producer to this point in his career, failing to record more than 53 catches, 667 receiving yards, or four touchdowns in any season between 2022 and 2024. The Falcons are also seemingly unwilling to commit to Pitts Sr. long term, as he enters 2026 playing on the one-year, $15 million franchise tag. In dynasty formats, managers may want to consider selling high on Pitts Sr. just in case he regresses back to previous levels of production in 2026.

Roman Anthony Takes 12-15 Dry Swings, Turning a Corner?
Boston Red Sox outfielder Roman Anthony (finger) took 12 to 15 dry swings on Tuesday and felt much better, so the team is encouraged that he has turned a corner in his recovery, according to Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com. Anthony will do the same thing on Wednesday and increase the volume on a daily basis. The 22-year-old remains on the 10-day injured list due to a sprained ligament on the base of his right finger, but now that he is taking swings, he could be on the verge of being cleared to begin a minor-league rehab assignment. In a best-case scenario, though, Anthony probably isn't a realistic candidate to rejoin the major-league roster until mid-June. The former second-round pick and top outfield prospect is quickly developing a reputation for being injury-prone, but his high-end power/speed upside should keep him stashed in all fantasy baseball leagues despite his slow recovery. Before going on the IL, Anthony was hitting just .229 (25-for-109) with a homer, five RBI, 12 runs scored, and two stolen bases. Masataka Yoshida has benefited from extra playing time in Anthony's absence, but it hasn't really translated to fantasy relevance.

Nico Collins Agrees to Contract Adjustment with Texans
Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins has reached an agreement on an adjustment to his current contract with the team, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. Schefter reports that the adjustment will guarantee Collins' salary for the next two seasons and also includes $17 million in cash increases. While Collins was already under contract with Houston, this new agreement should help ensure that fantasy managers do not have to worry about any contract-related disputes that result in Collins holding out. The 27-year-old recorded 71 receptions for 1,117 yards and six touchdowns on 120 targets across 15 games in 2025 and has hauled in 21 touchdown receptions over the past three years with the Texans. As long as Collins stays healthy, he profiles as a low-end fantasy WR1 heading into 2026.

White Sox Place Noah Schultz on Injured List With Knee Tendinitis
The Chicago White Sox announced on Tuesday that they placed rookie left-hander Noah Schultz (knee) on the 15-day injured list (retroactive to May 25) with right-knee patellar tendinitis and recalled rookie right-hander David Dandlin from Triple-A Charlotte in a corresponding move. It's a worrisome injury for the 22-year-old former 26th overall pick in 2022, as he missed most of the second half of last season at Charlotte with the same injury. The young southpaw has been erratic in his first eight big-league starts (38 2/3 innings pitched) this year, going 2-4 with a 5.82 ERA (4.73 FIP) and 1.34 WHIP with 33 strikeouts and 22 walks for the Pale Hose. Because Schultz has dealt with this injury before, fantasy managers who have him rostered in deeper leagues should expect an absence beyond the 15 days. Sandlin will be making his big-league debut for Chicago and will start on Wednesday against the division-rival Minnesota Twins. Schultz is only rostered in 17% of Yahoo leagues, and that number will now fall with him on the IL for the foreseeable future.

Chris Brooks Carries Buy-Low Dynasty Appeal into 2026
Three years into his NFL career, Green Bay Packers running back Chris Brooks has recorded just 106 touches across 41 games played. The 26-year-old appeared in 17 games for the Packers in 2025 and recorded 197 yards from scrimmage on 40 total touches. However, Brooks enters 2026 with a chance to take over the RB2 role in Green Bay behind Josh Jacobs following the departure of former Packers backup running back Emanuel Wilson in free agency. Brooks' main competition for the role appears to be 2024 third-rounder MarShawn Lloyd, who has been limited by injuries to just six carries across the first two years of his career. As long as Jacobs is healthy, he should continue to play a three-down role and dominate backfield touches in Green Bay. Still, Brooks would immediately emerge as one of the better handcuff options in the league if he becomes his team's primary backup. Brooks profiles as an appealing buy-low candidate for fantasy managers heading into 2026.

Ben Griffin Looking to Repeat This Week at Colonial
It was a breakthrough victory last season for Ben Griffin, who parlayed that into his first Ryder Cup team. He'll now be trying to join Ben Hogan as the only players to win this event back-to-back, but there are a plethora of guys in much better form attempting to stop him. He's recently turned the tides of his 2026 season, with a solo third and T14 finishes in two of his last three starts. However, there is still an overwhelming cause for pause regarding Griffin's DFS viability. Ranking outside the top 100 in both strokes gained off the tee and on approach, the ball striking is still clearly not there. He hasn't gained strokes with his approach play in his last six starts. The putter has had to go crazy for him to compete, which isn't always an easy thing to count on. This isn't to say the former Tarheel is a full fade heading into Thursday, but those willing to bite on the recent finishes need to know the high-risk game they're playing.

Brewers Send Logan Henderson to Injured List With Back Strain
The Milwaukee Brewers announced on Tuesday that they placed right-hander Logan Henderson (back) on the 15-day injured list (retroactive to May 23) with a lower-back strain and recalled right-hander Coleman Crow from Triple-A Nashville in a corresponding move. Henderson threw five shutout innings with only two hits allowed and seven strikeouts in a win over the Los Angeles Dodgers in his last outing last Friday, but he was bothered by a tight back and will now miss at least the next two weeks. It was his second straight start with seven K's, and he had at least seven punchouts in three of his four starts in May. The 24-year-old former fourth-rounder in 2021 out of McLennan Community College has been solid in just five starts so far in 2026, going 2-1 with a 2.74 ERA (2.38 FIP), 1.04 WHIP, and 30:6 K:BB in 23 innings pitched. Henderson is rostered in just under 48% of Yahoo leagues and is worth stashing in those formats while he heals. Crow could take Henderson's spot in Milwaukee's starting rotation and make the start in Wednesday's series finale against the division-rival St. Louis Cardinals.

Rasmus Hojgaard a Player to Avoid at Charles Schwab Challenge
Things have been fairly stagnant for Rasmus Hojgaard as of late, as teeing it high and letting it fly seems to be the only thing working right now. The long drives won't do him nearly as well here as they do at other venues, and the fact that he's hitting less than 50% of his fairways leaves much to be desired from that standpoint. And recently, things haven't gotten much brighter from there, losing strokes on approach and on the greens in three of his last four starts. There are certainly places for the bomb-and-gouge players, but this layout isn't one of them, and Hojgaard isn't doing enough anywhere else to feel comfortable about his chances this week.

Hideki Matsuyama Needs Solid Driving Week at Charles Schwab Challenge
If Hideki Matsuyama were averaging positive strokes gained off the tee this season, he would arguably be the leading favorite this week at Colonial. Some of the approach play and putting statistics he's accrued at various spots this season have been good enough to win. However, the struggles off the tee have been too detrimental to allow the 34-year-old to get over the hump. His collapse in Phoenix earlier in the year explains it perfectly. The Japanese star ranks 130th in strokes gained off the tee (-0.292), and is still inside the top 40 in strokes gained tee to green despite it. The bottom line is that what he does off the tee will dictate whether he is a must-play or just one of the more solid options, but regardless, he has immense fantasy value this week.
