Pittsburgh Pirates pitching prospect Seth Hernandez was selected with the sixth-overall pick in the 2025 Draft, but he did not pitch professionally at all last year after being drafted. The 6-foot-4 hurler made his highly anticipated debut this season at Single-A Bradenton and has been impressive through two starts, allowing just one earned run on three hits and one walk while striking out 15 in seven innings of work. Known for a fastball that can touch triple-digits and three solid secondary pitches (changeup, slider, curve), the right-hander has already become the organization's top pitching prospect and looks like he'll make quick work of Single-A. The product out of Corona High School in California may be a year or two away from the big leagues, but he should get a chance to test his mettle at High-A in the coming weeks. Currently ranked as MLB's No. 26 prospect overall (No. 3 right-handed pitcher), dynasty managers should have the 19-year-old stashed away, as he has the makings of the next big pitching prospect who should one day be a front-of-the-rotation starter.--Jarod Rupp

The New York Giants announced on Monday that they signed free-agent quarterback Brandon Allen to an undisclosed deal. Allen will head into his seventh NFL season as the QB3 in the Big Apple behind Jaxson Dart and Jameis Winston. The 33-year-old was a former sixth-round selection by the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2016 out of Arkansas. Allen made his NFL debut in 2019 with the Denver Broncos and then spent three years with the Cincinnati Bengals before playing for the San Francisco 49ers in 2024 and the Tennessee Titans in 2025. In his six years in the NFL, Allen has completed 56.7% of his 323 pass attempts for 1,882 yards, 11 touchdowns, and nine interceptions in 19 games played (10 starts). He only appeared in one game for the Titans last year and went 17-for-30 passing for 72 yards, no touchdowns, and a pick. Allen is off the fantasy football radar everywhere.--Keith Hernandez

Vanderbilt tight end Eli Stowers is on a top-30 pre-draft visit with the Denver Broncos on Tuesday, a source told Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. Stowers is one of the upcoming draft's top tight ends, and he set a tight end combine record with a 45.5-inch vertical jump. The 22-year-old visited with the Los Angeles Rams, Tennessee Titans, and Dallas Cowboys recently. He is a converted quarterback who played college ball at Texas A&M and New Mexico. Stowers won the Mackey Award in 2025 after he posted 62 catches for 769 yards and four touchdowns in his final collegiate season. There is plenty of improvement that Stowers can make in terms of his blocking prowess, but his combine numbers speak for themselves in terms of his pure athleticism on a football field. Stowers is expected to be the second TE off the board later this month behind Oregon's Kenyon Sadiq. Current Broncos TE Evan Engram's role could decline even further in 2026 if Stowers joins Denver.--Keith Hernandez

If the Philadelphia Eagles trade wide receiver A.J. Brown this summer, the Philly Voice's Jimmy Kempski thinks that Dontayvion Wicks would probably be the WR2 behind DeVonta Smith and over Marquise Brown. There are a lot of things working for Wicks. He is younger than Brown, the Eagles have more invested in him, he's under contract for two more years, and he seemingly already has the trust of offensive coordinator Sean Mannion. But perhaps the biggest thing that will separate Wicks from Brown in the competition for the WR2 role if A.J. Brown is traded is the fact that Wicks offers "far more" as a blocker in the running game than Brown does. Kempski thinks it will "matter a lot in this new scheme." The 24-year-old would definitely have a much higher fantasy ceiling as the No. 2 wideout in Philly, but he will also need to fix his issues with drops if he's going to take advantage of the bigger opportunity in his first year with his new team. In three years with the Packers, Wicks never had more than 39 receptions, 581 yards, or five touchdowns in his 46 games (18 starts).--Keith Hernandez

Indiana wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr. took a top-30 pre-draft visit to the New York Jets on Monday, a source told Jordan Reid of ESPN. The Jets are one of many teams looking for receivers in the upcoming NFL draft, and Cooper has been a popular pairing with the Jets, who hold the No. 16 overall pick in the first round. The Jets are pretty high on Cooper, who would be joining Garrett Wilson and Adonai Mitchell as one of the team's top pass-catchers if he were to land in New York. The 22-year-old broke out in his senior season with the Hoosiers in 2025 to help them go undefeated and win the national championship. In 16 games, Cooper had 69 catches for 937 yards and 13 touchdowns while taking passes from quarterback Fernando Mendoza, who is expected to be taken first overall by the Las Vegas Raiders this year. For dynasty/keeper purposes, seeing Cooper land with the Jets definitely wouldn't be great news, as veteran QB Geno Smith is expected to run the offense this year.--Keith Hernandez

USC wide receiver Makai Lemon, who is considered a top-three player at his position in this year's NFL draft class, visited with the Miami Dolphins on Monday, a source told Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. Miami has the 11th overall pick in the first round of this year's draft, which is right around the spot when teams will likely begin considering Lemon. The Dolphins landing Lemon would not be much of a surprise at all after they released All-Pro wideout Tyreek Hill (knee) and traded receiver Jaylen Waddle to the Denver Broncos this offseason. Right now, Jalen Tolbert, Malik Washington, and Tutu Atwell are considered the team's top-three pass-catchers, so new quarterback Malik Willis could certainly use some help. If Lemon were to land in South Beach, he could quickly become the WR1 in Miami as Willis' go-to target. Lemon should man the slot wherever he lands in the NFL, and he's been frequently compared to Lions star wideout Amon-Ra St. Brown.--Keith Hernandez

Carolina Panthers general manager Dan Morgan said he's optimistic about tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders (ankle) and said that he looks good after he had ankle surgery, according to Joe Person of The Athletic. Sanders has been running and cutting and looks good during his rehab. The 23-year-old had season-ending surgery in late December to fix a broken right fibula. Sanders has been recovering nicely, though, and he could be ready for organized team activities in May. In his second NFL season in 13 before his ankle injury, the former fourth-rounder out of the University of Texas in 2024 had 29 catches for 190 yards and only one touchdown on 34 targets over 13 games played (five starts). Sanders had 33 receptions (43 targets) for 342 yards and a score in 16 games in his rookie campaign in 2024. With Tommy Tremble set to be the team's top TE in 2026, Sanders can be ignored in most 12-team fantasy football leagues.--Keith Hernandez

Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell (knee) has not played since suffering a brutal knee injury in Week 16 of the 2024 season, and general manager Nick Caserio said that the team expects to have a better read on what he'll be able to do going forward once the Texans are deeper into their offseason program. "With Tank, honestly, it's probably day to day," Caserio said. "We'll see where he is -- probably have a better idea as we get through the spring of what his availability is going to be in training camp. He's been here pretty religiously since he's been able to do more." The 26-year-old former third-rounder in 2023 out of Houston should remain stashed in all dynasty/keeper leagues, but he'll be a total wild card in redraft formats after a devastating knee injury that initially looked like it could end Dell's career. Dell had 98 catches for 1,376 yards and 10 touchdowns in 25 games in his first two NFL seasons, so he could be a difference-maker for this offense behind WR1 Nico Collins if he returns to pre-injury form. However, we're still waiting to see if Dell will even be ready for the start of the 2026 regular season in September.--Keith Hernandez

Sports Illustrated's John Shipley believes that Jacksonville Jaguars running back Bhayshul Tuten is "going to see a major hike" with his role and opportunity in 2026 after Travis Etienne Jr. departed in free agency. The Jags added Chris Rodriguez Jr. to their backfield this offseason, and they also have LeQuint Allen Jr. in the RB room, but Shipley believes that Tuten will be "seen as a key piece." The 23-year-old will be viewed as a popular Year 2 breakout candidate at running back this year after the fourth-rounder out of Virginia Tech had 307 rushing yards and five touchdowns on 83 rushing attempts. He also added 10 catches on 14 targets for 79 yards and another two scores through the air in 15 regular-season games. Tuten is an effective rusher of the football who can create plays on his own due to his athleticism, and he also has home run-type speed at the position. He has clear RB2 upside going into his second season in Duvall.--Keith Hernandez

Some in the Philadelphia Eagles' organization think that if wide receiver A.J. Brown were no longer on the team, that DeVonta Smith "can have a similar jump in production" that Jaxon Smith-Njigba had in Seattle with the Seahawks when DK Metcalf was traded, according to Jimmy Kempski of Philly Voice. Kempski also adds that if Brown is traded, Smith will "immediately become the focal point of the passing offense." He has topped 1,000 yards in three of his four NFL seasons while also catching the "dagger" in the team's second franchise Super Bowl victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. "He is wired for this opportunity," Kempski believes. In addition to his Super Bowl ring, Smith won the Heisman Trophy in college and two national championships with Alabama. The 27-year-old former 10th overall pick in 2021 had 77 catches for 1,008 yards and four touchdowns in 17 regular-season games in 2025, with Kempski saying he was "pretty clearly" a better player than Brown. All signs are pointing to Brown getting traded after June 1, which would give Smith a huge fantasy boost heading into next season.--Keith Hernandez

The Miami Dolphins and running back De'Von Achane are not close to agreeing on a contract extension, according to Omar Kelly of The Miami Herald. The Dolphins have been adamant this offseason that they don't want to trade Achane, with general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan referring to Achane as one of the team's "three pillars." Miami released receiver Tyreek Hill (knee) and quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and then traded receiver Jaylen Waddle to the Denver Broncos, leaving Achane as the only real explosive playmaker on offense. Achane skipped the team's voluntary offseason workouts in early April, and Sullivan has also said that "nobody is untouchable in this business." The 24-year-old is expected to be looking to beat the four-year, $48 million extension that RB James Cook got from the Buffalo Bills in August of 2025. Achane was the RB6 in half-PPR scoring last year with 1,350 rushing yards and eight touchdowns, adding 67 catches for 488 yards and four receiving touchdowns in 16 games. He is a true three-down workhorse, which is rare in the NFL these days. The explosive upside is obvious in both phases of the game, but in what could be an inconsistent offense again in Miami in 2026, Achane might have to rely on volume over anything else as an RB1 in fantasy.--Keith Hernandez

It was a close call last week at Augusta National for Russell Henley, who posted rounds of 66 and 68 over the weekend to finish in a tie for third. It was the continuation of what has quietly been an impressive last 10 months of golf. It hasn't culminated in a win, but he's been close on many occasions during that span. The most intriguing part, as it pertains to this week at the RBC Heritage, is that the former Georgia Bulldog led the Masters field in strokes gained on approach (2.40). Harbour Town has similar approach numbers as ANGC, which should bode well for the 37-year-old. If the usually dominant putter flourishes a little more than it did last week, he'll be in the mix again.--Todd McGill

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder/designated hitter Christian Yelich (groin) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday due to a left-groin strain, according to Adam McCalvy of MLB.com. In a corresponding move, the Brewers called up infielder/outfielder Greg Jones from the minors. The 34-year-old veteran was removed from Sunday's game against the Washington Nationals early due to what was initially called left-hamstring tightness. The Brewers weren't expecting good news going into this week on the former MVP, and now he'll miss at least the next 10 days. Fantasy managers will be hoping that Yelich's stay on the IL is short, but given his lengthy injury history and reputation as a slow healer, we wouldn't be surprised if the Brewers don't rush him back. Yelich needs to be held in all fantasy formats while he recovers. He is hitting .314 (16-for-51) in a small sample size of 15 games with a homer, 10 RBI, and three steals. Outfielder Blake Perkins could be the biggest beneficiary of playing time at DH for the Brew Crew going forward with Yelich out.--Keith Hernandez

Pittsburgh Pirates manager Don Kelly said the team is looking at the end of May or the beginning of June for right-hander Jared Jones' (elbow) potential return this year. Jones was in the Pirates' clubhouse on Monday and is scheduled to throw a bullpen at PNC Park on Tuesday. General manager Ben Cherington said that Jones used all of his pitches in his most recent bullpen session on April 6, so the 24-year-old is definitely making progress from UCL surgery. Jones opened the 2026 campaign on the 60-day injured list, which means he's not eligible to make his season debut until late May. He has been throwing off a mound for two months now, so Jones should be close to being cleared to go on a minor-league rehab assignment. The former second-rounder in 2020 had a 4.14 ERA and 1.19 WHIP with 132 K's and 39 walks in 121 2/3 innings over 22 starts in his rookie year in 2024, but he missed all of last season due to his elbow injury. There's a lot to like about his long-term fantasy profile in Pittsburgh, even if the Bucs plan to ease him in when he returns this year.--Keith Hernandez

Arizona Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said on Monday that right-hander Brandon Pfaadt will move to the bullpen to make room for the return of veteran right-hander Merrill Kelly (back), who will come off the 15-day injured list to make his first start of the year on Tuesday against the Baltimore Orioles, according to Jose M. Romero of The Arizona Republic. Pfaadt is the odd man out of Arizona's starting rotation for the time being with Kelly returning. The 27-year-old former fifth-round pick in 2020 out of Bellarmine University has really struggled to open his fourth year in the big leagues, going 0-1 with a 5.94 ERA (5.47 FIP) and 1.38 WHIP with 11 strikeouts and six walks in 16 2/3 innings over his three starts for the Snakes. Pfaadt will almost certainly return to the D-backs' starting rotation at some point in 2026, but obviously, this news really hurts his fantasy value in all formats.--Keith Hernandez

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone told Talkin' Yanks that first baseman Paul Goldschmidt will start over Ben Rice again on Tuesday night against the Los Angeles Angels and left-hander Reid Detmers. Rice also started on the bench in Monday's series-opening win over the Angels with left-hander Yusei Kikuchi on the mound. Tuesday will be the fourth time in five games that the 27-year-old Rice has started on the bench this year with a lefty starting pitcher on the mound, despite the Yankees telling us that Rice would have more exposure to southpaws in 2026. It's especially frustrating for Rice's fantasy managers, as he's hitting a strong .362 (17-for-47) with four home runs, 12 RBI, 15 runs scored, and a stolen base in his first 15 games this year. The 38-year-old Goldy has been in decline offensively for several years, but he still can handle lefties pretty well. He hit .336 (50-for-149) against them in 2025 with seven of his 10 home runs coming against southpaws.--Keith Hernandez

Baltimore Orioles infielder Jeremiah Jackson had a career day at the plate in Baltimore's 9-7 comeback win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday night. Jackson went 3-for-5 with two home runs and five RBI out of the eight-hole. It was Jackson's first multi-homer performance of his career, and also the first time he's had five RBI in a contest. The 26-year-old is certainly taking advantage of the increased playing time at the keystone for the O's to begin the 2026 regular season with regular second baseman Jackson Holliday (hand) still recovering from a broken hamate bone in his hand that he suffered in spring training. Holliday isn't expected to come off the 10-day injured list this week, either, so Jackson will get a little more run as a regular for Baltimore. In his first 14 games this year, Jackson is hitting .318 (14-for-44) with three home runs, 11 RBI, and four runs scored.--Keith Hernandez

Texas Rangers first baseman Jake Burger was seeing the ball well in Monday night's 8-1 win over the division-rival Athletics in Sacramento, going 2-for-4 at the plate with two home runs, four RBI, a walk, and a strikeout. Burger got the party started in the first inning with a three-run tater off of right-handed starter Luis Severino, and the Rangers never looked back. He got Severino again for a solo job in the eighth inning. The home runs were the 30-year-old's first since he homered in back-to-back games to begin the 2026 regular season. Burger is known as a streaky hitter, so fantasy managers will want to ride his power bat until he cools off. After his big power performance on Monday night, the former first-rounder by the Chicago White Sox in 2017 out of Missouri State is hitting .246 (16-for-65) with four home runs, 11 RBI, and seven runs scored in 16 games played.--Keith Hernandez

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout did all he could for the team in Monday night's series opener against the New York Yankees, but it wasn't enough in the wild 11-10 loss. Trout went 2-for-5 at the plate with two home runs, five RBI, and three runs scored. The 34-year-old future Hall of Famer did all of his damage late in the game, first hitting a three-run long ball in the sixth inning. The home runs were Trout's first since he went deep in each of the first two games of the 2026 season. It was the 31st multi-homer game of Trout's illustrious career. The three-time MVP and 11-time All-Star got off to a hot start this year before going into a little lull, but hopefully, Trout will get going again after Monday's strong performance. Overall, he's hitting .224 (13-for-58) with four home runs, 12 RBI, 16 runs scored, and two stolen bases in a small sample size of 16 games. Trout has had trouble staying on the field in recent years due to various injuries, and he probably can't be relied on for a high average anymore. But if he stays healthy, he'll be a steal in fantasy for his power and run production.--Keith Hernandez

It was a weekend to forget for Tommy Fleetwood this past week at Augusta National. He began Saturday in T4, albeit a long way away from the lead at that time, but posted rounds of 73-76 over the final two rounds to fall outside the top 30 on the leaderboard. It was really a total collapse in all areas, but the most surprising shift was in the approach play. The 35-year-old has been exquisite in this area all season long and was performing well before reaching the third round. That likely places blame on being a prisoner of the moment rather than on actually losing his swing, as he is one of the best players from 150 to 200-yard approach shots. 43.6% of approach numbers will come from this yardage at Harbour Town, and should allow him to regain any confidence lost at the year's first major. --Todd McGill

New York Yankees outfielder Trent Grisham didn't make the start in Monday's series opener against the Los Angeles Angels at Yankee Stadium with left-hander Yusei Kikuchi on the mound, but he entered the game off the bench and still managed to do a ton of damage at the plate. Grisham finished the contest 2-for-3 with two home runs and five RBI in a close, 11-10 win. The 29-year-old left-handed hitter hit a three-run home run in his first plate appearance in the fifth inning off Shaun Anderson, and then he hit a clutch two-run long ball in the ninth inning off closer Jordan Romano with the Yankees trailing by two runs. It was nice to see Grisham come alive at the plate on Monday night after a very quiet start to his 2026 season offensively. Even after his two-homer performance against the Halos, Grisham is still hitting only .167 (8-for-48) with 13 walks and 10 strikeouts in 61 plate appearances in his first 16 games of the year. Fantasy managers will be hoping that his big game on Monday will get him going at the plate.--Keith Hernandez

The ball was flying out of Yankee Stadium on Monday night in the New York Yankees' 11-10 victory over the visiting Los Angeles Angels. Superstar outfielder Aaron Judge unsurprisingly took advantage, going 2-for-5 with two home runs, three RBI, and a strikeout. Judge's first homer came in the bottom of the first inning, when he took left-handed starter Yusei Kikuchi deep. It was the 37-year-old's 47th multi-homer game of his career and his first this season. The 33-year-old three-time MVP and seven-time All-Star has 50-plus home runs in each of the last two seasons and is already leading baseball with six home runs in his first 16 games of the 2026 campaign. In addition to his six homers, Judge is slashing .233/.333/.550 with an .883 OPS, 12 RBI, 14 runs scored, and three stolen bases in 70 plate appearances. Judge is a beast at the plate and remains one of the top fantasy baseball assets in the game. Monday night's performance reminded us of that.--Keith Hernandez

While not the outcome he would have wanted, it was still a successful week at The Masters for Sam Burns. For a guy with very few meaningful major championships, it was a great start to the 2026 season, especially with the rebound on Sunday on the second nine after the rough start to the day. He will travel down to Hilton Head, SC, this week for the RBC Heritage and is looking to get inside the top 15 at this event for a fourth career time. He found his putter again at Augusta, averaging 1.51 strokes gained putting. He also gained over four strokes with his approach play for the week, which is intriguing for Harbour Town since many approach numbers come from similar distances as last week. It's another week of needing supreme iron play and a smart strategy, and Burns looks able to meet the challenge right now.--Todd McGill

When asked how far away Seattle Mariners infield prospect Colt Emerson is from the big leagues on MLB Now on Monday, president of baseball operations Jerry Dipoto said, "he's as close as they come." Emerson, 20, suffered a foot injury over the weekend at Triple-A Tacoma, but he's already back in action and is knocking on the door to join the big-league roster for the very first time early in the 2026 season. The former 22nd overall pick in 2023 has gone 13-for-49 (.265) with a home run, five RBI, five runs scored, two stolen bases, two walks, and 17 strikeouts in 13 games at Tacoma to begin the year. It's unclear what the Mariners intend to do with current shortstop J.P. Crawford, but his playing time could be in jeopardy by the summer if Emerson is up in the big leagues by then. Emerson is considered Seattle's top prospect, per MLB Pipeline, and he's also considered the No. 7 overall shortstop prospect in all of baseball. Fantasy managers in deep-mixed leagues should consider adding him off the waiver wire now.--Keith Hernandez

Harris English has been good, but he does not have a top-10 finish yet in 2026. The American golfer has finished inside the top 30 in eight of nine events. The RBC Heritage typically requires a few more birdies to be made. English has not performed well in three of the past four appearances, including missing one cut. His average driving distance has dipped in the past two events (4.45% lower than average). Last year at Hilton Head was one of the few events where English lost strokes in putting (0.05). Around the green was a bigger problem, and it has been in 2026, too. He ranks 110th in sand-save percentage and 94th in scrambling from the rough. From a DFS perspective, it may be wise to fade Harris.--Chris Wassel - RotoBaller

Daniel Berger missed the cut at the Masters. The American golfer wound up with back-to-back scores of 76 but did have a couple days to prepare for this week. Hilton Head has been kind to him in the past as he finished T-3 in 2025. Berger finished three strokes behind eventual winner Justin Thomas. The RBC Heritage fits well with the golfer's strong approaching the green metrics. He has three Top 25 results in his last three appearances. That includes ranking 10th in greens in regulation (70.49%). Getting the ball close should make putting a little easier for Berger like it did at the Arnold Palmer (P-2 in March). At a minimum, this makes Berger worth a betting look. --Chris Wassel - RotoBaller

When he last took the field, free agent running back Joe Mixon (ankle, foot) was able to turn 20 touches into exactly 100 yards and a touchdown. Unfortunately, that came 15 months ago in a divisional playoff loss that ended the Texans' 2024 campaign. A mysterious offseason foot injury sustained outside the team facility cost Mixon the entire 2025 season, and he was released before the start of the new league year. Because so little information was provided about the injury, dynasty managers are left in a precarious position. The soon-to-be-30-year-old Mixon has become a frustrating hold, as the potential value he could bring by latching on with an NFL team after the draft still outweighs much of what can be found on the dynasty waiver wire. Should a depth-seeking contender offer a late fourth-round pick, he'd be an easy sell, but even that kind of offer would likely require an update to his status or sorts, and as fantasy managers have come to realize all too well, waiting on a Mixon status update has become a patient man's game.--Patrick McGrath

Denver Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. is coming off the worst statistical season of his young career, even with Denver throwing the ball at their highest rate since Sean Payton took over as head coach. After posting an average depth of target north of 15 yards as a rookie, the undersized speedster has been used puzzling close to the line of scrimmage in recent years, seeing nearly 40% of his targets behind the line of scrimmage in 2025. Denver sent away a first and third-round pick to add Jaylen Waddle to a receiving room that still features the reliable target-earner Courtland Sutton, as well as Troy Franklin and Pat Bryant, whose own skillsets share enough overlap with Mims to create a blockade to any sort of meaningful fantasy production. Mims has fallen to WR98 in RotoBaller's dynasty rankings, but as proven in the Broncos playoff loss to the Patriots, he works best as a downfield threat, so if he can capitalize on the occasional explosive play, he could still have his place in best ball formats.--Patrick McGrath

Denver Broncos running back RJ Harvey ended his rookie season as fantasy's RB21 in half-PPR formats, assuming lead back responsibilities following a Week 10 foot injury to J.K. Dobbins and finishing as the RB6 over the final five weeks of the fantasy season. Unfortunately, much of that success came on the back of a generally unsustainable touchdown surge, with exactly half of his impressive 12 total touchdowns coming in that five-week span. When it comes to repeatable patterns, his efficiency metrics were far less inspiring. Running behind one of the best offensive lines in football, his yards over expectation per attempt ranked 48th in the league according to the NFL's Next Gen Stats, almost two full yards and 44 spots behind Dobbins. The Broncos re-signed Dobbins on what is essentially a one-year deal with a second-year option, which could be viewed as a small victory for Harvey managers in a strong running back free-agent class. However, with 10 weeks of existing data, in which Dobbins out-touched Harvey 164 to 75, expectations of a year-two breakout should remain tempered. Harvey does offer additional value as the primary pass-catching back in a Sean Payton offense, though with the Broncos spending big to acquire wide receiver Jaylen Waddle, the competition for targets will be stiffer in 2026, following a 2025 season in which Denver's 58.8% passing rate already represented a six-season high in Payton's historically run-heavy offense.--Patrick McGrath

Winnipeg Jets center Mark Scheifele set a franchise single-season record with 101 points during a 6-2 loss to the Vegas Golden Knights on Monday. Winnipeg was outclassed for much of the night, but Scheifele popped up with a goal and a power-play assist in the third period. Winnipeg's scoring record had stood since the franchise was still in Atlanta and Marian Hossa had 100 points in 2006-07. Scheifele has had a fantastic late-season stretch to surpass the record with two games remaining. His efforts across the last 10 games have resulted in 18 points (four goals, 14 assists).
