The Indianapolis Colts have signed free agent defensive tackle Derrick Nnadi, according to Aaron Wilson of KPRC2. Terms and duration of the contract weren't disclosed, but it's likely a short-term deal, especially since Nnadi has signed a one-year contract in each of the previous four offseasons. That strategy paid off for him last year, as he initially signed with the Jets but then was traded to Kansas City, where he had spent his first seven NFL campaigns. With the Chiefs last year, he made 15 appearances (11 starts) while amassing 16 tackles and one quarterback hit. He's not a major pass-rush threat, tallying just one sack over the last four years. However, he still offers solid depth in the Colts' defense behind dependable veteran DeForest Buckner.

The Washington Commanders have signed free agent defensive lineman Charles Omenihu to a one-year, $4 million deal that has a maximum value of $7 million, according to Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network. A former fifth-round pick out of Texas, Omenihu has spent time in the NFL with the Texans, 49ers, and Chiefs. Across 17 games (zero starts) in Kansas City last year, he amassed 3.5 sacks, 13 quarterback hits, and 28 tackles. The Commanders and defensive-minded head coach Dan Quinn had been in search of pass-rush reinforcements on the defensive line, so the Omenihu signing makes plenty of sense. He projects as a rotational piece alongside fellow free agent additions K'Lavon Chaisson and Odafe Oweh.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are signing defensive lineman A'Shawn Robinson to a one-year deal worth $10 million, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. The deal is fully guaranteed and represents a raise from the
$8.5 million he was projected to earn in 2026 before he was released by the Carolina Panthers. Not only will the veteran lineman get a salary bump, but he'll also remain in an NFC South division that has served him well to this point. Through 33 games (32 starts) with the Panthers over two seasons, he amassed one forced fumble, one fumble recovery, eight sacks, 16 quarterback hits, and 145 tackles. In Tampa Bay, he projects to earn a starting spot along a Bucs defensive line that already features Calijah Kancey.

The Green Bay Packers have signed defensive tackle Javon Hargrave to a two-year, $23 million contract, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. Hargrave, a two-time Pro Bowler, now stays in the NFC North after spending 2025 with the Minnesota Vikings. In the purple and gold, he amassed one forced fumble, one fumble recovery, 3.5 sacks, and 52 total tackles across 16 games (15 starts). Even at 33 years old, Hargrave has remained a very productive staple among NFL defensive lines, and he'll cash in with a new deal that pays him eight figures annually. He projects to earn a starting spot alongside Devonte Wyatt in new defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon's system. It's worth noting that this is a reunion of sorts between coach and player, as Gannon was Hargrave's defensive coordinator in Philadelphia from 2021 through 2022.

Philadelphia Flyers right winger Owen Tippett scored an empty-net goal and added an assist as the Flyers defeated the Capitals by a score of 4-1 on Wednesday. Tippett assisted on a Trevor Zegras goal to make it 2-1 in the second period, and then his empty-netter with one minute left in the third period helped seal a 4-1 victory for the Flyers. He now has 21 goals and 39 points for the Flyers, which is the third-most points for the Eastern Conference club.

Ottawa Senators right winger Drake Batherson had two goals, but it wasn't enough as his team lost a tight 3-2 game to the Montreal Canadiens on Wednesday night. Both his goals came in quick succession late in the first period, one on a deflection and one on a tip-in, but Ottawa was not able to hold on to the 2-1 lead. Batherson is having another fine season with 25 goals and 32 assists, which is good for second on his team in points.

Former Miami Dolphins defensive end Bradley Chubb agreed to a three-year, $43.5 million deal with the Buffalo Bills on Wednesday, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The deal is worth up to $52.5 million and includes $29 million guaranteed. Chubb, who began his career with the Denver Broncos in 2018 after they took him with the fifth overall pick out of North Carolina State, will stay in the AFC East. The two-time Pro Bowler was with Miami the last four seasons but didn't play at all in 2024 due to a torn ACL in his knee. Chubb looked good in his return in 2025, finishing with 47 tackles (24 solo), 8.5 sacks, eight tackles for loss, 20 QB hits, and a fumble recovery in 17 starts. The Bills are hoping that the 29-year-old pass-rusher will be even better another year removed from his torn ACL. Chubb had a career-high 12 sacks in his rookie campaign in Denver and had 11 sacks for Miami in 2023. He'll help bolster a defensive line in Buffalo that already includes Ed Oliver, Greg Rousseau, and Michael Hoecht.

The San Francisco 49ers acquired defensive tackle Osa Odighizuwa from the Dallas Cowboys on Wednesday in exchange for a third-round pick in this year's NFL draft, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Odighizuwa has been pretty steady in his first five years in the NFL (all with Dallas), totaling 216 tackles (115 solo), 17 sacks, 34 tackles for loss, 81 QB hits, and two forced fumbles in 84 games (76 starts). The 27-year-old former third-round selection out of UCLA in 2021 had 44 tackles (16 solo), 3.5 sacks, six tackles for loss, and 23 QB hits in 17 games for the Cowboys last year. He had offseason elbow surgery but is expected to be fine for the offseason program this spring. Odighizuwa just signed a four-year, $80 million deal with the Cowboys last offseason. While he's not flashy, he'll bring stability to a Niners defense that was wrecked by injuries in 2025.

Former Arizona Cardinals quarterback
Kyler Murray (foot) will visit with the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday, according to John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports. Minnesota is offering a starting spot as they look to challenge first-round QB
J.J. McCarthy, and a deal with Murray could be finalized in the next 24 hours. However, Murray and his representatives are also expected to explore several options as a backup in 2026 for teams that could need a starting signal-caller in 2027. The Vikings are the 28-year-old Murray's best chance for a starting gig right away and to rehab his fantasy football value after he played in only five games in 2025 due to a foot sprain. Injuries have been an issue for the former No. 1 overall pick out of Oklahoma, but when healthy, he offers plenty of dual-threat abilities and would have a strong WR duo to work with in
Justin Jefferson and
Jordan Addison. If Murray signs with the Vikings, he'll be one of the most obvious QB bounce-back candidates in the NFL.

The New England Patriots agreed to terms on an undisclosed deal with free-agent tight end
Julian Hill on Wednesday, according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. Hill will stay in the AFC East and will join the division-rival Patriots after spending the first three years of his career with the Miami Dolphins, where he caught a total of 33 passes for 288 yards and no touchdowns on 48 targets over 45 games (26 starts). The former undrafted free agent out of Campbell University had career-highs in catches (15), targets (20), and receiving yards (140) in 14 games for the Dolphins in 2025. The 25-year-old won't have any real fantasy appeal going into next season in Boston, but he'll help fill a blocking role behind starter
Hunter Henry to help make up for the loss of
Austin Hooper, who signed with the Atlanta Falcons in free agency.

The Denver Broncos re-signed tight end
Lucas Krull to an undisclosed one-year deal on Wednesday, according to Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette. Krull just wrapped his fourth year in the NFL and his second with the Broncos in 2025 by catching only two passes for 15 yards on four targets in three games played due to a foot injury that caused him to miss the majority of the season. The 27-year-old former undrafted free agent out of Pittsburgh had his best year in 2024 with Denver, catching 19 of his 23 targets for 152 yards and no touchdowns in 13 games (two starts). Krull could be the Broncos' No. 4 tight end entering the 2026 season this fall, behind
Evan Engram,
Adam Trautman, and
Nate Adkins, who is a restricted free agent. He will be miles from fantasy relevance when drafts kick off later this year.

The New York Jets had some interest in free-agent quarterback
Carson Wentz (shoulder), but he's unlikely to sign with the Jets "as of now," multiple sources told Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic. Wentz, who suffered a season-ending shoulder injury filling in for
J.J. McCarthy last year, is going through his options on the open market. The Jets have already traded for veteran signal-caller
Geno Smith, but they'd like to bring in another veteran QB this offseason, similar to what the New York Giants did a season ago with
Russell Wilson and
Jameis Winston. The 33-year-old Wentz, a former Pro Bowler back with the Philadelphia Eagles in his second year in the league in 2017, isn't much more than a low-upside game manager now when he's running an offense. If he were to sign with Gang Green, he'd most likely enter the 2026 campaign as the backup to Smith.

Los Angeles Lakers forward
LeBron James (hip) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against Chicago after missing the past three contests. If the 41-year-old returns,
Rui Hachimura would likely shift back to a reserve role, while
Jake LaRavia could see his minutes trimmed. Hachimura logged nine points in 25 minutes as a starter last game, while LaRavia produced eight points, seven rebounds, four assists, and two steals in a similar workload off the bench. James remains a must-start if active, while
Luka Doncic and
Austin Reaves would continue to anchor the offense regardless.

The Houston Texans signed former New Orleans Saints tight end
Foster Moreau to an undisclosed deal on Wednesday, a source told Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. Moreau will move to the AFC South after spending the last three seasons in the Big Easy. The 28-year-old former fourth-round pick by the Raiders in 2019 out of LSU caught 60 of his 78 targets for 665 yards and six touchdowns in 43 games (36 starts) in his three years with the Saints. Moreau only played in 11 games in 2025, though, due to an ankle injury. He finished with a career-low seven grabs on 10 targets for 59 yards and no touchdowns. At best, Moreau will serve as the No. 2 tight end in Houston in 2026 behind starter
Dalton Schultz, who recently signed an extension through the 2027 campaign. Moreau can be safely ignored in single-TE leagues this fall.

Philadelphia Eagles impending free-agent tight end
Dallas Goedert's void date has been pushed back to Friday, a league source told Zach Berman of The Athletic. It's a procedural move that will give both sides a chance to work out a contract extension before he officially hits the open market. The 31-year-old and the Eagles could be close to getting something done to keep him around. The veteran tight end was originally drafted by the Eagles in the second round in 2018 out of South Dakota State, and he's been with the team for all eight years of his career. Goedert suited up for 15 regular-season games in 2025 and caught a career-high 60 passes on 82 targets for 591 yards and a career-best 11 touchdowns to finish as the TE3 in half-PPR scoring. If he returns to Philly, he'll be a big part of the Eagles' new-look offense again, but fantasy managers certainly won't be able to count on a repeat of double-digit touchdowns.

March 11, 2026
Chicago Bulls forward
Matas Buzelis (ankle) is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Lakers after appearing on the injury report with a right ankle sprain. The second-year forward is expected to play after erupting for a career-high 41 points with five three-pointers, six rebounds, two assists, two steals, and two blocks across 45 minutes in his last outing. Buzelis should continue to see strong usage if active, especially with
Isaac Okoro (knee) and
Patrick Williams (ankle) questionable. He profiles as a strong hold, while
Josh Giddey (ankle) and
Tre Jones remain key facilitators in Chicago's offense.

Baltimore Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta said that they and quarterback
Lamar Jackson ran out of time to get a long-term extension done, but he added that the Ravens are "still hopeful to reach an agreement," according to Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic. The 29-year-old two-time MVP serves as his own agent, which makes things more difficult for the organization. Jackson signed a five-year, $260 million contract with Baltimore in April of 2023 and restructured his contract on Wednesday to give the Ravens some extra salary cap space to make moves this offseason. Without an extension, Jackson can be an unrestricted free agent after the 2027 season. He battled through injuries and was a disappointment for fantasy managers last year who took him as a high-end QB1, but Jackson is still one of the most dynamic dual-threat QBs in the game and is tied with
Aaron Rodgers for the best passer rating (102.2) in NFL history. He also has the record for most career rushing yards (6,522) by a QB.

Charlotte Hornets center
Ryan Kalkbrenner (illness) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against Sacramento after being added late to the injury report. The rookie big man continues to operate as a backup behind
Moussa Diabate, which limits his fantasy ceiling despite flashes of efficiency. Kalkbrenner posted 13 points, six rebounds, one assist, and two blocks in 17 minutes during his last appearance and remains a blocks streamer in deeper formats. His role remains capped off the bench, while Diabate should continue to control most center minutes.

March 11, 2026
Chicago Bulls guard
Josh Giddey (ankle) is listed as probable for Thursday's matchup against the Lakers and is expected to play through a minor right ankle sprain. The 23-year-old has been rolling lately, averaging 17.0 points, 10.8 rebounds, 11.0 assists, and 3.2 three-pointers across his last five games while logging 34 minutes per contest. As long as he is active, Giddey remains a must-start player in all formats due to his triple-double upside.
Tre Jones,
Matas Buzelis (ankle), if active, and
Collin Sexton (lower leg), if available, could see more playmaking chances if any setback occurs, though Giddey should continue to handle primary creation duties.

March 11, 2026
Oklahoma City Thunder center
Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Boston, marking his third straight absence due to a left calf contusion. His next opportunity to return comes Sunday versus Minnesota.
Jaylin Williams should continue to see meaningful minutes in the frontcourt, though his upside may be slightly capped with
Chet Holmgren back. Williams erupted for 29 points, 12 rebounds, three assists, and two blocks across 40 minutes in his last outing and remains a viable deep-league streamer.
Kenrich Williams may also see a modest run, but Holmgren remains the biggest beneficiary.
--Brian DailisanSource: NBA Injury Report
March 11, 2026
Oklahoma City Thunder forward/center
Chet Holmgren (illness) is off the injury report and expected to return Thursday against Boston after missing two games. Holmgren has been productive when available, averaging 16.2 points, 11.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists, and 2.0 blocks over his last five appearances while playing about 31 minutes. His return should push
Jaylin Williams back into a reserve role and reduce the minutes available for
Kenrich Williams.
Jaylin Williams could still have some deep-league value with
Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) sidelined, but Holmgren resumes must-start status in all fantasy formats.
--Brian DailisanSource: NBA Injury Report
March 11, 2026
New York Knicks guard/forward
Josh Hart (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Utah after initially being listed as doubtful due to left knee soreness. His absence should open extra wing minutes, with
Landry Shamet logging nine points and three three-pointers in 23 minutes last game, while
Mohamed Diawara added five points, four rebounds, and two assists in 18 minutes.
Jose Alvarado and
Jordan Clarkson may also see situational run, though their roles remain unclear. Shamet profiles as a possible deep-league streamer for threes, while the rest remain risky fringe options due to uncertain minutes.
--Brian DailisanSource: Stefan Bondy
March 11, 2026
San Antonio Spurs center
Victor Wembanyama (ankle) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Nuggets due to right ankle soreness. The 22-year-old has been a fixture in the lineup since January, so any absence would be notable for fantasy managers. If he sits,
Luke Kornet could move into a larger role after logging 11 minutes with four points, three rebounds, and two assists in the last game. Wembanyama remains a must-start if active, while Kornet would profile as a deep-league streamer for blocks and rebounds.
De'Aaron Fox and
Stephon Castle could also see slight usage bumps if Wembanyama is ruled out.
--Brian DailisanSource: Jared Weiss
March 11, 2026
Utah Jazz guard
Keyonte George (illness) is available for Wednesday's matchup against the Knicks and is expected to remain in the starting lineup. The second-year guard played through the same issue Monday, finishing with 15 points, two assists, and one three-pointer in 24 minutes, and could again see a slightly managed workload. If his minutes stay in check,
Isaiah Collier could continue seeing meaningful run off the bench. George still carries standard-league value for his scoring and usage, while Collier remains a viable deeper-league option for assists and guard depth.
--Brian DailisanSource: NBA Injury Report
March 11, 2026
Toronto Raptors center
Jakob Poeltl (illness) is available for Wednesday's game against the Pelicans after missing Tuesday's contest. The 30-year-old is expected to return to the starting lineup, which should push
Sandro Mamukelashvili back into a reserve role. Poeltl has been providing steady category production, averaging 13.4 points, 8.2 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.6 blocks, and 1.4 steals across his last five games while playing 28.6 minutes. Poeltl's return reinforces Toronto's frontcourt, while Mamukelashvili's streaming value takes a hit.

According to Michael Scotto of USA Today, Philadelphia 76ers forward
Kelly Oubre Jr. (elbow) will miss at least two weeks. Oubre is dealing with a sprain of the lateral collateral ligament in his left elbow. The 30-year-old was already out of action for nearly two months with a knee sprain. With Oubre on the shelf and so many 76ers injuries,
Justin Edwards could see an expanded role and is a sneaky streaming option as he finished with 14 points, two rebounds and three assists in 28 minutes during Monday's loss to the Cavs.

Detroit Tigers first baseman
Spencer Torkelson (forearm) was diagnosed with a right-forearm contusion after he was hit by a pitch during a simulated game in camp on Tuesday, according to Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press. Torkelson exited with a trainer after he was hit by a fastball from reliever
Burch Smith. "It was scary," manager A.J. Hinch said. "It's going to happen, whether it's a game or a practice game. From what I know, from afar, we've avoided anything major." The 26-year-old former first overall pick was held out of Wednesday's Grapefruit League contest against the Minnesota Twins as a precaution, but he could be back in action soon. Torkelson hit 31 home runs for the second time in the last three years in 2025, bouncing back from a 10-homer campaign in 2024. Strikeouts are always going to be part of Tork's game, but the high-end power upside is nice for corner-infield depth in fantasy baseball leagues.

Baltimore Orioles first baseman
Ryan Mountcastle (hand) was forced to leave Wednesday's Grapefruit League game against the Pittsburgh Pirates early in the eighth inning after he was hit by a pitch on his right hand, according to Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun. Fortunately, X-rays on his right hand came back negative, according to the team. With an off day coming in spring training on Friday, Mountcastle could be back in the lineup on Friday, although it wouldn't be a surprise to see the O's give him a couple of days off. The 29-year-old right-handed slugger's fantasy stock is on the decline going into the 2026 season after he dealt with more injuries and disappointing play in 2025. Mountcastle slashed .250/.286/.367 with a career-worst .653 OPS, only seven home runs, 35 RBI, 34 runs, and three steals in 89 games played. With the addition of All-Star first baseman
Pete Alonso, Mountcastle could be facing a drop in playing time, with a DH role his only clear path to at-bats.

Charlotte Hornets forward/center
Grant Williams (knee) is unavailable for Wednesday's matchup with the Sacramento Kings. Williams will sit out the back end of the team's back-to-back due to knee injury management. Williams finished with three points, one rebound, one assist and two steals across 14 minutes during Tuesday's 103-101 win over the Trail Blazers. His next chance to return to the floor is Saturday on the road against the Spurs. Extra minutes will likely be distributed to
Sion James, who collected 11 points in his last outing on Tuesday after scoring a combined 12 points in the previous three contests.

Former New York Jets wide receiver
John Metchie III is signing an undisclosed one-year deal with the Carolina Panthers on Wednesday, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Metchie will reunite with quarterback
Bryce Young, with whom he played college ball at Alabama. The 25-year-old was originally a second-round pick (44th overall) by the Houston Texans in the 2022 NFL draft. Metchie had an unfortunate setback with a cancer diagnosis and missed the entire 2022 season, but he has slowly bounced back and posted a career-high 274 receiving yards and two touchdowns on 33 receptions in 16 games (seven starts) with the Jets and Philadelphia Eagles last year. Metchie will now head to the NFC South, where he'll serve in a depth role behind
Tetairoa McMillan and
Jalen Coker. His previous connection with Young should help, but barring an injury ahead of him on Carolina's WR depth chart, it's hard to imagine Metchie having much weekly fantasy football appeal in 2026.
