LSU quarterback Sam Leavitt (undisclosed), who transferred from Arizona State this month, is expected to be limited in spring practice ahead of the 2026 season with the Tigers. Leavitt played in just seven games last season with the Sun Devils due to an undisclosed injury. LSU head coach Lane Kiffin said Leavitt will throw and take part in seven-on-seven drills, but he won't participate in team drills. While this is not ideal, Leavitt should have plenty of time to heal up and be ready for preseason practices and the Week 1 matchup against Clemson in Baton Rouge. With the 21-year-old leading Kiffin's offense and surrounded by elite talent, the Tigers are expected to be a College Football Playoff contender right away. In 20 games with ASU, Leavitt threw for 4,642 yards, 36 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions. He added 749 yards and ten touchdowns as a runner. Assuming he's healthy, he should produce big-time numbers in Kiffin's QB-friendly offense.

The Arizona Cardinals are hiring former New York Jets offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett as their offensive coordinator on Wednesday, sources told Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network. The 46-year-old was the offensive coordinator for three seasons under head coach Matt LaFleur for the Green Bay Packers and will now team up with LaFleur's brother, Mike, in Arizona. Hackett initially joined the Miami Dolphins this offseason to be the quarterbacks coach, but he's departing for a better opportunity in the desert. Hackett's offenses have been nothing special since his time in Green Bay while working with future Hall of Fame QB
Aaron Rodgers, so it's an underwhelming hire for first-year head coach LaFleur, especially for a Cardinals team that is currently at a crossroads at QB with
Kyler Murray (foot). LaFleur announced on Tuesday that he will be calling the offensive plays in 2026.

The Baltimore Ravens will not be retaining quarterbacks coach Tee Martin under the new coaching staff, sources told Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports. It's a big change for the Ravens offense and quarterback
Lamar Jackson, as Martin has been with the organization since 2021 and is one of the people closest to Jackson within the organization. Martin initially joined Baltimore as the wide receivers coach before eventually being promoted under former head coach John Harbaugh. He'll now be moving on, but he shouldn't have trouble finding another coaching gig in the NFL in 2026, potentially following Harbaugh to the New York Giants. The Ravens had a very disappointing 2025 season and failed to make the postseason, with Jackson enduring an injury-plagued campaign. Baltimore is hoping that new offensive coordinator Declan Doyle can motivate the two-time MVP to bounce back in 2026.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are finalizing a deal to hire Minnesota Vikings passing-game coordinator/tight ends coach Brian Angelichio as their new offensive coordinator, according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. Angelichio will reunite with new Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy after the two previously worked together with the Green Bay Packers. Under McCarthy in Green Bay, Angelichio was the Packers' TEs coach for three seasons. Although this will be his first OC job, Angelichio has been an NFL coach for almost 20 years with six different teams. McCarthy will most likely call the offensive plays in his first year as the Steelers' head coach. The Steelers have plenty of question marks on offense going into next season, particularly at the quarterback position, but the addition of Angelichio as OC should be good news for tight end
Pat Freiermuth's 2026 fantasy value.

Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst acknowledged on Wednesday that the team is likely to lose quarterback
Malik Willis to a team that will at least allow him to compete for a starting job in 2026, according to Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. Willis will be an unrestricted free agent in March and should have a decent amount of suitors after he completed 85.7% of his passes for 422 yards, three touchdowns, and no interceptions in four appearances (one start) in 2025 in his second year in Green Bay. The 26-year-old also completed 74.1% of his passes for 550 yards, three TDs, and no picks in seven games (two starts) in 2024. The former third-rounder by the Tennessee Titans also ran the ball 42 times for 261 yards and three more scores over the last two seasons. There's no guarantee he sees similar success in a new location, but Willis' fantasy stock as a QB2 option in fantasy will inevitably rise if he wins a starting job in 2026.

Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst said that quarterback
Jordan Love didn't require any surgeries after the 2025 season, according to Jason B. Hirschhorn of NFL.com. Love had surgery on his left thumb during training camp last summer and injured his left (non-throwing) shoulder during the season, but he'll head into training camp this year fully healthy. The Packers made it to the postseason in 2025, but Love was outside the top-12 QBs in overall fantasy points in his fifth year in the NFL, completing 66.3% of his passes for 3,381 yards, 23 touchdowns, and six interceptions in 15 starts. The 27-year-old was solid but unspectacular as the leader of the Packers' offense. It's great news that he won't be rehabbing any injuries this offseason, but as far as fantasy rankings go for 2026, Love will be more of a high-end QB2 target than a No. 1 QB as he heads into his sixth NFL campaign.

The St. Louis Cardinals signed free-agent first baseman
Bligh Madris to a minor-league deal on Wednesday, according to Chase Ford of MiLB Central. Madris has 247 extra-base hits and 403 RBI in his minor-league career. The 29-year-old was taken in the ninth round in 2017 out of Colorado Mesa University by the Pittsburgh Pirates, and he made his big-league debut with the Bucs in 2022, going 20-for-113 (.177) at the plate with a homer, seven RBI, 10 runs, two steals, 10 walks, and 31 strikeouts in 39 games and 123 plate appearances. Madris played in 12 games with the Houston Astros in 2023 and hit a career-high .269 (18-for-67) with a homer and five RBI in 21 games with the Detroit Tigers in 2024. He hit .232/.320/.384 with five homers in 50 games with Triple-A Toledo in 2025. Expect Madris to open the 2026 campaign at Triple-A Memphis.

The Boston Red Sox announced on Wednesday that they claimed catcher/infielder
Mickey Gasper off waivers from the Washington Nationals. Gasper will return to the team with which he made his major-league debut in 2024, although he appeared in just 13 games and was hitless with eight strikeouts in 23 plate appearances. The 30-year-old appeared in 45 games last season with the Minnesota Twins and slashed just .158/.257/.232 with a .488 OPS, two home runs, 11 RBI, 15 runs scored, and two steals in 110 plate appearances. In addition to catcher, Gasper can play first base, second base, and the outfield. He has minor-league options remaining, so he will most likely open the 2026 campaign at Triple-A Worcester as catching depth behind
Carlos Narvaez and
Connor Wong.

The New York Yankees claimed outfielder
Yanquiel Fernandez off waivers from the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday, sources told Francys Romero. Fernandez was designated for assignment by the Rockies last week. The 23-year-old Cuban outfielder made his major-league debut with Colorado in 2025 and hit .225/.265/.348 with a .613 OPS, four home runs, 11 RBI, 13 runs scored, eight walks, and 44 strikeouts in 52 games and 147 plate appearances. While Fernandez will begin the 2026 campaign in the minors, he'll be an intriguing name to watch if he eventually makes his way to the Bronx because of his raw power from the left side of the plate. Fernandez has hit .279/.336/.478 with an .813 OPS, 77 home runs, and 338 RBI in 469 games over five minor-league seasons in the Rockies' system.

The San Francisco Giants signed free-agent right-hander
Michael Fulmer to a minor-league deal with a non-roster invitation to major-league spring training, according to the team. The 32-year-old veteran and former American League Rookie of the Year back in 2016 with the Detroit Tigers only appeared in three games (all in relief) in 2025 with the Boston Red Sox and Chicago Cubs, throwing 5 2/3 innings. In 66 1/3 innings in the minors, he had a 3.39 ERA with 86 strikeouts and 29 walks. Fulmer has eight years of big-league experience with four different teams and has appeared in 265 games (90 starts), but he'll merely be competing for a spot in San Fran's Opening Day bullpen this spring. If Fulmer makes the major-league roster in 2026, he will most likely work in a long-relief/mop-up role for the Gigantes.

Chicago White Sox right-hander
Grant Taylor has a goal of reaching 100 innings pitched in 2026 in his second big-league season, and MLB.com's Scott Merkin suggests that the 23-year-old could be an option to start again in 2027. "Having got through last year, adding [Seranthony] Domínguez, being able to slot guys in different areas, we are going to have more freedom to use Grant to win games, as opposed to fulfill some innings limit," manager
Will Venable said. The addition of
Seranthony Dominguez to the bullpen should free Taylor up to work multiple innings more out of the bullpen this year after he threw 36 2/3 frames in his first taste of MLB in 2025. Taylor had 37 pitches at 100 mph or faster, and he topped out at 102.2 mph on June 22. He had 54 strikeouts but an ERA of 4.91. The 23-year-old threw a career-high 63 1/3 innings last year between the minors and majors. Although high-leverage opportunities could come, most of Taylor's work this year is expected to come in long relief. Taylor's strikeout upside is obvious, but durability is a concern.

The Pittsburgh Pirates have emerged as one of the most aggressive teams to pursue free-agent left-hander
Framber Valdez, people briefed on the matter told Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic. The 32-year-old is the biggest name left on the open market this offseason, and adding him would enhance the Pirates' biggest strength -- their starting rotation, which is led by National League Cy Young winner
Paul Skenes. The Pirates' new pitching coach, Bill Murphy, worked with Valdez as both a minor-league and major-league coach with the Houston Astros. In addition to the Pirates, the Baltimore Orioles, Toronto Blue Jays, Atlanta Braves, and San Diego Padres have been linked to Valdez this offseason. The 32-year-old southpaw would give the Bucs not only another strong arm but plenty of experience and durability, as he's just one of five pitchers to throw at least 900 innings in the last four seasons.

New Arizona Cardinals head coach Mike LaFleur announced on Tuesday that he will call the offensive plays in his first year as head coach in 2026, according to Josh Weinfuss of ESPN. LaFleur is replacing Jonathan Gannon, who was fired on Jan. 5 after going 3-14 in 2025. The Cardinals have yet to hire a new offensive coordinator, who will be working under LaFleur. The last time that LaFleur called plays was in 2021 and 2022, when he was the New York Jets' offensive coordinator. He did not call plays the last three seasons under Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay. The Jets went 11-23 during LaFleur's two seasons with the team while starting five different quarterbacks. The biggest order of business for LaFleur and the Cardinals' front office this offseason will be to decide if QB
Kyler Murray (foot) is viewed as the long-term option under center.

The Atlanta Braves announced on Wednesday that they signed free-agent right-hander
Tayler Scott to a minor-league deal with a non-roster invitation to spring training, according to Grant McAuley of 929 The Game. Scott, 33, split the 2025 season with the Houston Astros and Arizona Diamondbacks, posting a rough 7.90 ERA (6.32 FIP), 1.90 WHIP, 24 strikeouts, and 18 walks in 27 1/3 innings out of the bullpen. The South African native has a career 5.51 ERA, 1.63 WHIP, and 21.2% strikeout rate in five major-league seasons with eight different teams. Scott will compete for an Opening Day bullpen spot for the Braves in spring training, but he's most likely going to begin at Triple-A Gwinnett. He was originally a fifth-round selection by the Chicago Cubs in 2011 out of high school.

The Detroit Tigers invited outfield prospect
Max Clark to major-league spring training this year, according to the Detroit Free Press' Evan Petzold. Clark, who is considered the No. 10 overall prospect in baseball this year, hit a combined .271/.403/.432 with an .835 OPS, 14 home runs, 67 RBI, 85 runs scored, and 19 stolen bases in 111 games with High-A West Michigan and Double-A Erie last year. The left-handed-hitting former third overall pick in 2023 has plus tools with his bat, legs, arm, and glove. Power from the left side might be his biggest weakness, but he figures to develop more of it as his 6-foot, 205-pound frame matures. Clark had a 135 wRC+ AND 16.7% strikeout rate at Double-A, so he figures to open the 2026 season at Triple-A Toledo. If Clark picks up where he left off in the minors in 2026, it may not be long before he's starting in center field in Motown at the major-league level.

The Detroit Tigers have invited shortstop prospect
Kevin McGonigle to big-league spring training this year, according to Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press. Per MLB Pipeline, McGonigle is the No. 2 prospect in all of baseball entering the 2026 season, behind only the Pirates'
Konnor Griffin. The 21-year-old is an advanced hitter for his age and slashed an impressive .305/.408/.583 with 19 home runs and 10 stolen bases in 88 games over three minor-league levels last season. In addition to being able to play the 6, he'll be an option at second and third base for the Tigers at the next level. However, McGonigle is expected to stick at short for now, which is the biggest need in Detroit. The left-handed hitter might need some time to mature and develop his power and speed, but there's no question he's already among the best pure hitting prospects in baseball.

The Pittsburgh Pirates have interest in signing free-agent outfielder/designated hitter
Marcell Ozuna, according to Katie Woo of The Athletic. The Pirates' lineup has enough versatility to accommodate a player like Ozuna, who at 35 years old profiles mostly as a DH at this point in his career. However, a potential addition of Ozuna could affect the playing time for
Jake Mangum and
Spencer Horwitz, who are projected to play left field and first base, respectively.
Ryan O'Hearn would likely split time between 1B and left field if Ozuna were signed. Ozuna, a three-time All-Star, would give the Bucs more thump in the middle of their lineup. The right-handed Dominican slugger clubbed a career-high 31 homers in 2024 with Atlanta, but he dropped off significantly last year with a .232/.355/.400 slash line and only 21 dingers in 145 games. He's a declining power bat that might see less playing time if he lands in Pittsburgh.

The Kansas City Royals announced on Wednesday that they have signed free-agent veteran infielder
Brandon Drury to a minor-league deal with an invitation to major-league spring training. Drury will compete for a roster spot this spring with the Royals after hitting a miserable .169/.242/.228 with a .469 OPS, four home runs, 15 RBI, 28 runs scored, 27 walks, and 81 strikeouts in 97 games (360 plate appearances) with the Los Angeles Angels in 2024. He didn't appear at all in the big leagues in 2025. In 53 games in the minors with the Angels and Chicago White Sox last year, he hit .214/.338/.323. The 10-year veteran has a career .245/.297/.421 slash line with a .717 OPS, and 109 home runs with seven different teams. Even if Drury sticks around in KC in 2026, he'll be a long shot for any kind of fantasy value.

If healthy, The Athletic's Keith Law thinks that Cincinnati Reds right-handed pitching prospect
Rhett Lowder (forearm, oblique) could be a mid-rotation starter in 2026. The 23-year-old former seventh overall pick in 2023 out of Wake Forest began the 2025 season on the injured list with a forearm injury and then strained an oblique muscle during his rehab, which kept him out all year. However, during a stint in the Arizona Fall League, Lowder was back in the 93-95 mph range on his sinker and four-seam fastball while also displaying a plus changeup and a sharper slider that missed plenty of bats. He threw his slider more than any other pitch. Lowder will have to compete for a rotation spot this spring, but even if he doesn't win one out of camp, he'll be a name to watch given his pedigree. With four plus offerings, Lowder can keep hitters off balance.

Baltimore Orioles shortstop
Gunnar Henderson worked at Tinsley Performance in the offseason to try to increase his speed going into the 2026 season, according to Andy Kostka of The Baltimore Banner. Henderson has increased his stolen base totals in each of his four seasons in the big leagues, culminating with a career-high 30 thefts in 154 games in 2025. Even though he stole 30 bags, he ranked only in the 79th percentile in sprint speed, so he worked to get faster. At the plate last year, Henderson regressed, slashing .274/.349/.438 with a career-low .787 OPS, only 17 home runs, 68 RBI, and 85 runs scored in 651 plate appearances, although he battled through a shoulder impingement for a good chunk of the season. The 24-year-old's current ADP suggests he won't come at much of a discount, with many fantasy managers expecting a bounce-back year with better health. RotoBaller has him ranked as the No. 4 fantasy shortstop.

SNY's Connor Hughes mentions Arizona Cardinals veteran quarterback
Jacoby Brissett as a potential trade target for the New York Jets this offseason. The 33-year-old went 7-8 as the starter for new Jets offensive coordinator in 2019, throwing for 2,942 yards with 18 touchdowns and six interceptions. He has one year left on his current deal with the Arizona Cardinals. Since 2016, Reich started 10 different QBs:
Bryce Young,
Andy Dalton,
Matt Ryan,
Sam Ehlinger,
Nick Foles,
Carson Wentz,
Philip Rivers, Brissett,
Brian Hoyer, and Andrew Luck. Brissett went 1-11 as the QB for Arizona in 2025, but he improved the offense over
Kyler Murray (foot) and threw for a career-high 3,366 yards with 23 touchdowns and eight picks in 14 games (12 starts). The Jets currently have only
Justin Fields and
Brady Cook under contract at QB, with few options expected to be available in the draft or free agency this offseason.

The Athletic's Paul Dehner Jr. writes that there's "little reason to believe" that star pass-rusher Trey Hendrickson (hip, pelvis) "will willingly return to Cincinnati." It also doesn't make much financial sense for the Bengals to spend the majority of their free-agent budget to force Hendrickson to come back. The 31-year-old, who had back-to-back 17.5-sack seasons in 2023 and 2024, is coming off an injury that required surgery and turns 32 in December. Other factors working against him are the fact that there is a solid draft class and free-agent market at edge rusher. Still, Hendrickson's compensation on the open market this offseason would likely start at or near the $29 million he made in 2026. The Bengals are unlikely to entertain a multi-year deal, so the only way to retain him would be via the franchise tag, which would cost $30.2 million for one year. There is also a tag-and-trade scenario, but the most likely outcome is the Bengals letting Hendrickson walk in free agency.

The Athletic's Dan Duggan writes that New York Giants offensive coordinator Matt Nagy's scheme should feature comfortable concepts for quarterback
Jaxson Dart, especially considering the crossover between Nagy and former OC Mike Kafka. Kafka spent five years on head coach Andy Reid's staff in Kansas City, including the 2017 season alongside Nagy. The offense will heavily feature the run-pass options that Dart has run since college, as well as the QB runs that were an asset in 2025 -- Dart was third among QBs with 487 rushing yards. Nagy's reputation as a pass-happy play-caller came back to bite him during his four-year tenure as the Bears' head coach. During that same stretch, head coach John Harbaugh's Ravens ran the ball an NFL-high 50.6% of the time. Harbaugh "figures to encourage a more ground-based attack," which should be great news for rising young RB
Cam Skattebo (ankle) and Dart.

In the opinion of The Athletic's Zach Berman, Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver
A.J. Brown will seek a trade this offseason, and the Eagles will find "strong compensation." Berman also thinks that it would be in the team's best interest to try to remedy this situation and convince Brown that Philly is the best place for him to continue his career. They will need to show Brown that they have an offense and a quarterback who can make him the best receiver in the NFL, similar to what we saw in 2022 and 2023, when he accumulated over 1,400 receiving yards in both seasons, along with 18 total touchdowns. The 28-year-old three-time Pro Bowler was visibly frustrated with his role in 2025, even though he reached the 1,000-yard mark for the fourth straight season and for the sixth time in his seven NFL seasons. Brown wasn't always on the same page as QB
Jalen Hurts, although his 121 targets ranked 14th among all wideouts. As of right now, Brown's future in Philly looks bleak, creating even more uncertainty around his 2026 fantasy value.

The New York Jets are hiring former Carolina Panthers and Indianapolis Colts head coach Frank Reich as their new offensive coordinator on Wednesday under head coach Aaron Glenn, according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. Reich is making his return to the NFL after a year at Stanford. As things currently stand in New York, the Jets' two options at quarterback are
Justin Fields, who was benched last year in favor of
Tyrod Taylor, and
Brady Cook. Running back
Breece Hall, who was the team's most consistent offensive threat in 2025, will be a free agent in March. The 2026 NFL Draft and free agency still await, but Reich is most likely going to face plenty of challenges in the OC role in his new home. The 64-year-old becomes the Jets' 12th different play-caller in a 16-year span. New York's offense finished 29th in scoring and 29th in yards in 2025.

Matt Fitzpatrick looked strong for most of the week at The American Express before a final-round 74 dropped him back to a T63 finish. He now looks to the WM Phoenix Open, where he has competed four times, missing the cut here last year after posting finishes of T15, T29, and T10 in prior starts. Success at TPC Scottsdale typically hinges on solid off-the-tee and approach play. Through his only start this season, Fitzpatrick ranks 114th in strokes gained off the tee (-0.261 per round) and 66th on approach (+0.296). His best rounds here have also coincided with strong short-game performance, an area that let him down at The American Express, where he lost -0.745 strokes around the green and putting. Despite this, Fitzpatrick has been one of the hottest players on Tour since May of last year and remains a solid option at his $9,300 price tag on DraftKings.

Sahith Theegala has put together a very strong start to 2026, recording finishes of T7, T8, and T31 in his first three events. He'll look to keep things rolling at the WM Phoenix Open, where he has competed four times, posting two top-five finishes without a missed cut. His best results here have coincided with strong approach play, an area where he currently ranks 84th on Tour, gaining +0.188 strokes per round. He has also been stellar in the short game, ranking 15th in both strokes gained putting (+1.043 per round) and around the green (+0.611). Theegala is likely to be a popular option after his strong start, but at $8,400 on DraftKings, he can be started confidently this week.

After a breakout campaign in 2025, J.J. Spaun has taken a step back to start the year, with results of a missed cut and a T40 to start the season. He'll look to find some momentum at the WM Phoenix Open, where he has competed six times, recording just two finishes inside the top 50. Success at TPC Scottsdale typically hinges on solid off-the-tee and approach play. Through two events this year, Spaun ranks 77th in strokes gained off the tee (+0.154 per round) and 114th on approach (-0.250). He has made up ground around the green, where he ranks fifth, gaining +1.047 strokes per round. Another thing working in his favor is approach play from 150-200 yards, where he sits in the 86th percentile in proximity over the last 12 months, a range that accounted for over 40% of approach shots here last year. At $9,000 on DraftKings, Spaun profiles more as a wait-and-see option than a fantasy must-start.

Viktor Hovland will make his 2026 PGA Tour debut at the WM Phoenix Open after finishing T14 at the Dubai Desert Classic last week. This will be his fourth time teeing it up at TPC Scottsdale, where he has a T42 and two missed cuts in previous starts. Success here typically hinges on solid off-the-tee and approach play. Last year, Hovland ranked 83rd in strokes gained off the tee (+0.099 per round) but was second on approach, gaining +0.945 strokes per round. He also sits in the 99th percentile in proximity from 150-200 yards over the last 12 months, a range that accounted for over 40% of approach shots here last year. Hovland has run into issues in the short game here, losing nearly eight strokes around the green and on the greens in his previous trips. At $9,200 on DraftKings, he brings event-winning upside but is one of the most volatile players in the field.

Rasmus Hojgaard has been very steady to start 2026, recording a T30 at the Farmers Insurance Open and a T44 at The American Express. The long-ball hitter has done most of his damage off the tee, which suits him well at the WM Phoenix Open, where he finished T12 last year. Hojgaard is gaining +0.995 strokes off the tee, ranking sixth on tour, though his irons have lagged behind, losing -0.111 strokes per round (108th) through two events. He also sits in just the 35th percentile in proximity from 150-200 yards over the last 12 months, a range that accounted for over 40% of approach shots here last year. Despite some ball-striking inconsistency, his elite off-the-tee play should serve him well, and at $7,700 on DraftKings, he offers strong upside in this price range.
