Boston Bruins winger Viktor Arvidsson scored twice as the team tied its first-round series against the Buffalo Sabres with a 4-2 road win on Tuesday night. Arvidsson set the tone in the contest as Boston jumped out to a commanding 4-0 lead. The Swedish forward had the perfect response to his rough Game 1 outing, when his line struggled and allowed Buffalo to open the series with a victory thanks to a third-period comeback. Secondary scoring behind David Pastrnak's line will be crucial to Boston's playoff chances, and Arvidsson is very capable of providing it. He finished the regular season with 25 goals and 54 points in 69 outings.--Taavi Pailk

Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Jeff Hoffman struggled again in a save situation Tuesday, allowing one run on two hits and hitting two batters while recording just one out in a 4-2 win. Hoffman has now allowed seven runs across his last four appearances, and his ERA has climbed to 7.59 through 10.2 innings this season. His command has been inconsistent, and his inability to limit damage in key moments is becoming a concern. Hoffman showed flashes of high-end ability last year, but those stretches have not carried over. If these struggles continue, his hold on the closer role will weaken and Toronto may explore other options.--Julian Brooke

Fresh off the closest MVP race in recent history, New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye is RotoBaller's dynasty QB2, though the market would suggest he may be the most difficult player to acquire via trade. The 23-year-old third overall pick from 2024 finished his second season with 4,394 yards and 31 touchdowns through the air and an additional 450 and four on the ground, good enough for a QB2 finish in most fantasy formats, and the arrow is still pointing up. Although a trade with the Eagles likely won't become official until after June 1st, dynasty managers are presently treating an A.J. Brown to the Patriots deal as a foregone conclusion, with the upgraded weaponry already baked into Maye's cost. At nearly 29 years old, Brown is still a dominant outside threat who could open things up even further for arguably the best downfield thrower in the league, and his presence would allow the rest of New England's receivers to slot into their more natural roles without having to fight up a weight class. The acquisition of Romeo Doubs to replace Stefon Diggs can be seen as a lateral move given the trajectory of each player, and the Patriots also made moves to bolster an offensive line that had its struggles throughout the 2025 season. Even with his rushing numbers dropping from his rookie season, Maye proved that he belongs among the fantasy elite, and if given the chance to fully utilize all his tools with a better surrounding cast, it should surprise nobody if he claims the QB1 title in the near future.--Patrick McGrath

Montreal Canadiens defenseman Lane Hutson celebrated his first career postseason goal in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning. He tied the game at one in the first period with a power-play goal. In his first postseason campaign a year ago, Hutson collected all five of his points via assists. He also kicked off this postseason with an assist in Game 1. However, his offensive production in the playoffs has been heavily reliant on the power play. Through his first seven career postseason outings, Hutson has registered only two even-strength points.--Taavi Pailk

Tampa Bay Lightning winger Brandon Hagel continued his good start to the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs by recording the first postseason Gordie Howe hat trick in franchise history during Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win against the Montreal Canadiens. Hagel scored Tampa's first goal, set up Nikita Kucherov for the second, and fought Juraj Slafkovsky. The two 30-goal scorers clashed early in the second period, with Slafkovsky taken down by a right-handed punch from Hagel. Following his two-goal effort in Game 1, Hagel has become only the fourth player in Lightning history to start a postseason with back-to-back multi-point games.--Taavi Pailk

New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson missed ten games in 2025, so the business-as-usual start with which he began the year may not be as fresh in the minds of dynasty managers as it could be. Through the first six weeks of the season, Wilson caught 36 passes for 395 yards and four scores, good enough to make him the WR9 on a 17-game pace of 102 receptions, 1,119 yards, and 11 touchdowns until a knee injury derailed his season. By all accounts, Wilson's recovery has gone well, and he should have no limitations heading into the 2026 season, either personally or from a quarterbacking perspective. The Jets traded for former Comeback Player of the Year winner Geno Smith, and while he's coming off a down year with the Raiders, he arguably represents the best quarterback that Wilson has played with in his four-year career. That title is currently held by a past-his-prime Aaron Rodgers, from whom Wilson caught over 100 passes in 2024 despite sharing the field with Davante Adams for much of the year. Wilson's 7.9 targets per game across his 11 games played with Adams showed he can still draw volume even when playing alongside elite target competition, an important factor with the Jets holding four of the first 44 picks in the week's NFL Draft and wide receiver high atop their list of needs. Should the team invest early capital in one of the premier wideouts in the class, Wilson could see a slight drop to his current dynasty status as RotoBaller's WR13, and contending managers should try to buy the dip.--Patrick McGrath

Chicago Cubs veteran left-hander Caleb Thielbar secured his second save of the season with a clean 2/3 innings of work on Tuesday, as he needed just six pitches to secure the 7-4 win. Thielbar has continued his late-career resurgence during his time in Chicago, posting a 2.08 ERA, 1.14 WHIP, and a .221 opponents batting average across 10 appearances this season. He also has one hold and has become a trusted option when the Cubs need outs late in games. Thielbar is emerging as a primary bullpen weapon and is worth adding as save chances increase.--Julian Brooke

Atlanta Braves right-handed pitching prospect Didier Fuentes is "part of the discussion" to join the MLB roster in the coming days, according to Mark Bowman of MLB.com. Fuentes is credited as being a "top option" to provide Atlanta with some pitching depth. While it is yet to be decided whether Fuentes will earn another opportunity as a starter, it appears he is quickly approaching a return to the big leagues. Out of spring training, Fuentes broke camp with the MLB roster as a long reliever but appeared in only one outing before being sent back to Triple-A. With Triple-A, Fuentes has operated as a full-time starter and has been able to log at least six innings of work in each of his last two outings. During this two-game stretch, Fuentes has allowed four runs (13 innings), while striking out 13 batters. While his fantasy upside would be limited if he were to operate out of the bullpen, he could be worth a speculative stash ahead of his eventual promotion in 12-team leagues.--Andy Smith

Tampa Bay Lightning right wing Nikita Kucherov scored a third-period game-tying goal in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime victory against the Montreal Canadiens. Incredibly, the former MVP hadn't scored a postseason goal for three years, firing blanks in 14 consecutive games. With the monkey off his back now, it will be interesting to see whether Kucherov will go on a scoring streak. He hasn't found the back of the net in consecutive games during the Stanley Cup Playoffs since the 2022 Eastern Conference Finals against the New York Rangers. Although Kucherov has lacked puck luck in front of the net in the postseason, he has still been a point-per-game player. This year, Kucherov has tallied one goal and two assists through his first two playoff outings.--Taavi Pailk

Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Louis Varland picked up his first save of the season in Monday night's 4-2 win over the Los Angeles Angels and has still not allowed a run this year. The 28-year-old has been dominant across 12 appearances, recording 19 strikeouts in 13 innings of work while consistently missing bats in high-leverage spots. With expected closer Jeff Hoffman struggling early, Varland has positioned himself as the clear next option for save chances in Toronto. This is Louis Varland's first full season with the Blue Jays, and his electric start could earn him an even larger bullpen role. Fantasy managers should view him as a must-roster reliever and priority waiver wire target.--Julian Brooke

Portland Trail Blazers guard Scott Henderson played a leading role in Tuesday's 106-103 Game 2 win over the San Antonio Spurs, leading all scorers with 31 points. Henderson scored very efficiently in Game 1 and hadn't lost his touch on Tuesday night, finishing 11-for-17 from the field. He was 5-for-9 from outside and 4-for-6 at the line. At 22, Henderson became Portland's youngest-ever 30-point scorer in the playoffs. Yet there were also some shortcomings in his performance, as Henderson didn't register a single assist and collected only one rebound. Defensively, he managed one steal and one block. Henderson has made a superb start to his first career postseason campaign, but with his field-goal percentage at a lofty 64.3 percent, it may be hard for him to sustain his current scoring rate.--Taavi Pailk

Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun finished Tuesday's 101-94 Game 2 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers with 20 points, 11 rebounds, five assists, four steals, and two blocks. The Turkish star left his fingerprints all over this game, yet the Rockets were held to 100 points again and suffered another loss. While Houston has been beaten by the Lakers in back-to-back games, Sengun has been productive in the series. Still, he is capable of making a bigger impact, having made only 38.5 percent of his field-goal attempts so far. The Rockets will attempt to spark a comeback on home court, starting with Game 3 on Friday night.--Taavi Pailk

Houston Rockets forward Kevin Durant led his team with 23 points in Tuesday's 101-94 loss to the Lakers, but he also committed a game-high nine turnovers. The rest of the Rockets had only six turnovers combined. Returning from a knee injury, which kept him sidelined for the series opener, Durant logged 41 minutes. He made only one of four outside attempts but was efficient overall, going 7-for-12 from the field and 8-for-9 at the free-throw line. The two-time Finals MVP capped off his line with six rebounds, four assists, one steal, and one block. Houston now heads home with a 2-0 series deficit, but the team can still turn the series around if they get the best out of Durant.--Taavi Pailk

Los Angeles Lakers guard Marcus Smart made five of his seven attempts from outside and contributed 25 points in Tuesday's 101-94 Game 2 win over the Houston Rockets. Only LeBron James (28) had a higher points tally in the contest, with Smart finishing 8-for-13 from the field and 4-for-5 at the line. As usual, Smart also made his presence felt on the defensive end, snagging five steals and blocking one shot. His line also included two rebounds and seven assists. The Lakers are missing Luka Doncic (hamstring) and Austin Reaves (oblique) to start the postseason, but you wouldn't know it from how well Smart and Luke Kennard have played. So far, the duo is averaging a combined 45.0 points per game in the first-round series.--Taavi Pailk

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James posted a game-high 28 points as the team grabbed a 2-0 series lead against the Houston Rockets with a 101-94 win on Tuesday night. The legendary forward also tallied eight rebounds, seven assists, and one steal, finishing 8-for-20 from the field and 10-for-14 at the charity stripe. James' work on the offensive end included a jaw-dropping reverse dunk in the third quarter. Even with Luka Doncic (hamstring) and Austin Reaves (oblique) on the shelf, Houston has struggled to match the Lakers, largely because of James's all-out effort. The four-time Finals MVP may be 41, but he's playing with the vigor of a 21-year-old embarking on his first postseason, averaging 23.5 points, 8.0 rebounds, 10.0 assists, and 1.5 steals through the opening games of the first round.--Taavi Pailk

Los Angeles Lakers forward Jake LaRavia (leg) missed the end of Tuesday's Game 2 win over Houston, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports. The 24-year-old exited the action due to an apparent right leg injury with 5:05 remaining in the fourth quarter. LaRavia finished Tuesday's win scoreless in 16 minutes off the bench but grabbed two rebounds and had one block. The Lakers have been badly stung by injuries late in the season, and it's possible LaRavia will also have to miss time. In that case, Jarred Vanderbilt must be ready for a heavier workload in the second unit.--Taavi Pailk

San Antonio Spurs forward Harrison Barnes (wrist) exited Tuesday's Game 2 loss to Portland early in the fourth quarter, Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports. He was hurt in a collision with Portland's Deni Avdija. Barnes went to the locker room and didn't return to the game, even after coming back to the bench. The 2015 NBA champion finished with four points and one rebound in 15 minutes off the bench. Keldon Johnson and Dylan Harper are likely to see more minutes in the second unit if Barnes has to miss additional time.--Taavi Pailk

Marco Penge struggled at the RBC Heritage, finishing T77 and losing over 8.28 total strokes, including -0.898 strokes off the tee, the first time he has lost strokes in that area this season. Over his last two starts, Penge has also lost more than 13 total strokes tee to green, and fatigue from playing six straight events may be starting to show. Despite this dip in form, he will tee it up again this week at the Zurich Classic alongside Matt Wallace, who finished T2 at the Valero Texas Open but has otherwise struggled to find form this season. Penge remains one of the stronger drivers on Tour, gaining +0.607 strokes per round off the tee (12th) and ranking sixth in driving distance. While the 27-year-old has shown flashes this season, his game is currently trending in the wrong direction heading into New Orleans.--Dakota Legg - RotoBaller

Sahith Theegala has put together a strong bounce-back season after a down 2025, recording seven top-25 finishes through his first 11 events, including a T25 last week at the RBC Heritage. He looks to keep it going at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, where he will team up with Aaron Rai. This duo forms a well-balanced pairing, with Theegala ranking 23rd in total strokes gained (+0.889 per round), 14th around the green (+0.382), and 36th in putting (+0.327). He can be sporadic off the tee, ranking just 106th in driving accuracy, but Rai is sitting in eighth. In this team format, players can get away with more volatility off the tee, and Theegala's overall form has been solid all season. This duo should have a strong chance to make a run into the weekend.--Dakota Legg - RotoBaller

Shane Lowry opened the season with finishes of T8, T24, and T2, but has since cooled off, missing two cuts and failing to finish better than T28 in his last five. He now looks to regain form at the Zurich Classic, where he won in 2025 alongside partner Rory McIlroy. This year, he'll team up with Brooks Koepka, forming arguably the most formidable duo in the field. Lowry has been solid overall, gaining 0.794 strokes per round (29th on Tour), but his around-the-green play has held him back, ranking 103rd and losing -0.095 strokes per round. He has not finished worse than 13th here in his last three appearances, and will look to use this unique format to get back on track.--Dakota Legg - RotoBaller

Si Woo Kim finished solo third at the RBC Heritage, gaining over 3.53 strokes off the tee and 4.46 on the greens. This marked his seventh finish of T13 or better in his first 11 starts. The gains with the putter are especially encouraging for Kim, who ranks just 111th on Tour in putting, losing -0.227 strokes per round. He has been elite in nearly every other area, sitting 11th in total strokes gained (+1.377 per round), fourth tee to green (+1.605), and fourth on approach (+0.817). Kim also ranks first on Tour in driving accuracy, hitting 71.75% of fairways, and also leads in proximity (33'3"). Playing from the fairway and consistently hitting greens will always keep him near the top of the leaderboard, and if the putter stays hot, he has the upside to win most tournaments he competes in.--Dakota Legg - RotoBaller

Cincinnati Reds shortstop Elly De La Cruz is off to a very strong pace early in the 2026 season, and that continued in a big way on Tuesday night in the team's 12-6 win over the Rays in Tampa. De La Cruz went 3-for-6 at the plate with two home runs, five RBI, three runs scored, a stolen base, and a strikeout to boost his season average to .276 and his OPS to .914. The 24-year-old switch-hitting Dominican is a superstar, make no mistake about it. His .264/.336/.440 slash line with 22 home runs, 86 RBI, and 37 stolen bases in 2025 was considered a disappointment after he stole a league-high 67 bases the year prior in 2024. De La Cruz is already up to eight home runs, six steals, 18 RBI, and 21 runs scored in his first 24 games of the season. If De La Cruz stays healthy all season long, he should be near the top of leaderboards in multiple fantasy baseball categories because of his dynamic athletic traits on a baseball field. Not only is he an elite athlete, but he plays in a hitter-friendly home ballpark. De La Cruz is a stud and is a must-start in fantasy.--Keith Hernandez

Detroit Tigers manager AJ Hinch said that right-handed veteran Justin Verlander (hip) is scheduled to throw a bullpen before the game on Wednesday, according to Chris McCosky of The Detroit News. Verlander, who is on the 15-day injured list due to hip inflammation, has been slow to recover and won't be back in Detroit until the calendar flips to May. It should come as no surprise that a 43-year-old pitcher's rehab is "going slower than anticipated," which is why the three-time Cy Young winner, former MVP, and nine-time All-Star is only rostered in 5% of Yahoo leagues these days. The 21-year-old MLB veteran is running out of steam late in his amazing career and has had trouble staying on the mound as he ages. In his only start for the Tigers before landing on the IL this year, Verlander allowed five earned runs on six hits (a homer) while walking two and striking out one in only 3 2/3 innings of work. Not only is his strikeout rate declining rapidly, but he's having trouble staying healthy. It feels weird to say, but there are plenty of much younger upside stashes at starting pitcher in fantasy in 2026.--Keith Hernandez

Chicago Cubs right-handed closer Daniel Palencia (lat) had an MRI exam that showed a lat strain, manager Craig Counsell told Patrick Mooney of The Athletic. An optimistic timeline would have Palencia reinstated from the 15-day injured list in two weeks. "He's responding very well right now. There's a chance that we're throwing here before we go to the West Coast," Counsell said. The Cubs put the 26-year-old on the IL last Friday with what was initially called a left-oblique strain. The Cubs' pitching staff has been hit hard by early-season injuries, but they are getting lefty starter Matthew Boyd (biceps) back on Wednesday, and Palencia could be back closing out games in a little over two weeks. Palencia should be held onto in fantasy leagues as a potential high-end closer when he's healthy. He's currently rostered in 82% of Yahoo leagues at the moment. Lefty Caleb Thielbar picked up Chicago's last save on Saturday, but righty Ben Brown could also contribute a few saves for the Cubbies until Palencia is cleared to return.--Keith Hernandez

The Arizona Cardinals are linked to Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson "more than any other team," according to Jonathan Jones of CBS Sports. Jones adds that the "noise across the league is impossible to ignore." He has the Cardinals mocked to trade up four spots with the Miami Dolphins to No. 30 overall in the first round on Thursday night in the 2026 NFL draft to take Simpson. The 6-foot-1, 211-pound quarterback only started in his final season at Alabama, which has many draft analysts questioning how quickly he can develop into a starting-caliber QB in the NFL. If he were to land in Arizona, Simpson would likely compete with Gardner Minshew for the No. 2 job in the desert behind veteran Jacoby Brissett in 2026. Simpson was considered a lock to be a first-rounder back in March, but his stock has fallen somewhat, and he could slip into the early portion of Day 2 this Friday. In dynasty/keeper leagues, any fantasy managers who select Simpson need to be prepared to be patient.--Keith Hernandez

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said that the team wants free-agent quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo to return in 2026, but they are "letting him figure out his future," according to Rams beat writer Stu Jackson. There is no timeline for Garoppolo to decide on his future, and the Rams are not rushing him. It was reported on Monday that Jimmy G is considering hanging up his cleats after 12 seasons in the NFL. The 34-year-old veteran has been with the Rams for the last two seasons, but he's appeared in just four games (one start) while working behind Matthew Stafford, who was named NFL MVP in 2025. With Garoppolo being a free agent, only Stafford and Stetson Bennett are on the roster as QBs. Even if Garoppolo decides to re-sign with the Rams and return for another season, it would not be a surprise to see L.A. address the position in this week's NFL draft on Day 2 or 3. Garoppolo has only made double-digit starts in a season three times in his 12-year NFL career.--Keith Hernandez

Cleveland Browns tight end Harold Fannin Jr. (groin) was present for the start of the team's voluntary offseason program on Tuesday, per Kelsey Russo of ClevelandBrowns.com. The 21-year-old tight end appears to be past the groin issue that kept him sidelined for the Week 18 regular-season finale late last year against the Cincinnati Bengals. The former third-rounder out of Bowling Green had a very special first year in the NFL, leading the Browns in receiving with 72 receptions for 731 yards and six touchdowns on 107 targets in 16 games played. He quickly surpassed David Njoku on the TE depth chart and excelled despite another tough season for Browns quarterbacks. Njoku is on the free-agent market and won't be returning to Cleveland in 2026, either, so Fannin should have an even higher fantasy football ceiling as a TE1 as he heads into Year 2. Fannin will be more intriguing to fantasy managers if Shedeur Sanders wins the starting QB job, as the two have chemistry already from last season.--Keith Hernandez

Across his first 98 plate appearances of 2026, Detroit Tigers outfielder Riley Greene is hitting .265/.378/.386 with one home run, 14 RBI, 15 runs scored, and one stolen base. After his 36-homer campaign in 2025, Greene's lack of power early in the year is a bit surprising. However, his 13.8% barrel rate and 50% hard-hit rate remain stellar and signal that a home run-surge could be coming. Greene's improved plate skills are also an encouraging sign, as he's lowered his strikeout rate from 30.7% in 2025 to 22.4% while walking at a career-best 15.3% in 2026. The 25-year-old is also locked into an everyday role in the heart of the Detroit lineup, which should allow him to continue racking up counting stats. If Greene can avoid injury and maintain his improved control of the strike zone, he could be in line for a career year in 2026.--Will Brady

Seattle Mariners closer Andres Munoz is off to an uncharacteristically poor start to the 2026 season, as he's recorded a 7.88 ERA and 1.63 WHIP across his first nine appearances of the year. Command has been a major issue for the right-hander, as he's issued five walks in just eight innings pitched. However, Munoz has also recorded 14 strikeouts, good for an excellent 36.8% strikeout rate. Munoz's line is also significantly inflated by one five-run outing against the San Diego Padres. In seven of his other eight appearances, Munoz did not allow an earned run. The 27-year-old should also have a fair bit of equity built up in Seattle, so he should have plenty of runway to rediscover his dominant form. While Munoz's slow start is obviously less than ideal, fantasy managers don't have reason to panic just yet.--Will Brady

Across his first 106 plate appearances of 2026, Kansas City Royals third baseman Maikel Garcia is hitting .274/.340/.400 with two home runs, 10 RBI, 13 runs scored, and two stolen bases. The 26-year-old was one of the breakout success stories of the 2025 season, when he hit .286 with 16 home runs and 23 stolen bases across 666 plate appearances. Early in 2026, Garcia appears to be on his way to proving his 2025 production was no fluke. While his current 17.9% strikeout rate is worse than his 12.6% mark from 2025, Garcia remains well above league average at making contact. He's also raised his barrel rate to a career-best 9.3%, which could give him a chance to threaten 20 home runs for the first time. As long as he stays healthy, Garcia should provide balanced five-category production for fantasy managers once again in 2026.--Will Brady
