Giannis Antetokounmpo Set to Play Tuesday
Miami Heat forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo (wrist) is available for Tuesday's matchup with the Utah Jazz after briefly being downgraded to questionable, according to Eric Nehm. The two-time MVP has continued to play through a right wrist sprain and enters Tuesday with seven straight double-doubles. Antetokounmpo is averaging 27.5 points, 12.8 rebounds, and 5.3 assists through 10 games. With Jaren Jackson Jr. (knee) sidelined for Utah, Antetokounmpo should continue to see favorable opportunities around the rim. Miami is off until Friday after Tuesday's game, giving him a couple of days to rest the wrist.

Sal Stewart Named NL Rookie of the Year
Cincinnati Reds infielder Sal Stewart was named the National League Jackie Robinson 2026 Rookie of the Year, according to Major League Baseball. The 22-year-old Stewart immediately brought a power presence to Cincy's lineup, hitting 32 home runs and driving in 112 runs while putting together the first season with at least 30 home runs and 100 RBI for a Reds rookie. Overall, the former 32nd overall pick in 2022 hit .263/.330/.457 with a .787 OPS, 87 runs scored, and 15 stolen bases in 623 at-bats in 2026. Stewart became just the fifth rookie to record at least 100 RBI and 15 stolen bases, joining Carlos Beltran (1999), Jose Canseco (1986), Tony Lazzeri (1926), and Al Simmons (1924). Perhaps the most impressive thing about Stewart's first full season in the big leagues was that he played in all 162 regular-season games. He played in 18 games in 2025 and hit .255 (14-for-55) with five home runs and eight RBI in 58 plate appearances. Stewart's impressive 2026 campaign earned him 20 of 30 first-place votes for the NL.

Kevin McGonigle Named AL Rookie of the Year
Major League Baseball announced that Detroit Tigers infielder Kevin McGonigle was named the 2026 American League Jackie Robinson Rookie of the Year. McGonigle had an impressive first year in the big leagues, receiving 28 of 30 first-place votes after hitting .278/.376/.430 with an .806 OPS, 18 home runs, 72 RBI, 97 runs scored, and 12 stolen bases in 605 at-bats in 156 total games played in 2026. The 22-year-old's consistency on offense and defense was extremely impressive for a player who was just three years removed from high school. He led the AL with 7.1 wins above replacement and finished fifth in the league in walks and hits. McGonigle became the first rookie to finish within the top five in both categories since Ted Williams in 1939. He split time between shortstop and third base and signed an eight-year, $150 million extension midway through his first month in the majors. McGonigle's 97 runs scored led all rookies, and his 168 hits were tied with Mets outfielder Carson Benge for the lead among rookies.

Grant Taylor Moving to the Starting Rotation in 2027
Chicago White Sox right-hander Grant Taylor will move into the starting rotation for the White Sox in 2027, according to Adrian White of Just BB Media. Taylor has experience as a starter in the minors, but the only "starts" he has in his two major-league seasons in Chicago have been opening assignments. In 96 total appearances over 120 2/3 innings pitched since debuting in 2025, Taylor has a strong 3.06 ERA (2.36 FIP) and 1.18 WHIP with 160 strikeouts and 45 walks. He went 7-3 in 2026 with a 2.25 ERA (2.77 FIP), 1.07 WHIP, and 106:30 K:BB in 84 innings pitched. Taylor also had 10 saves. The move to a starting role will certainly make Taylor more attractive in fantasy baseball leagues, but since he only threw 92 2/3 innings in total this past season, his overall ceiling will be limited from a fantasy perspective, with a likely strict innings limit so the White Sox do not overwork him. Taylor is no stranger to injuries, dealing with groin and lat injuries in 2024 and 2025 while also having Tommy John surgery back in 2023.

Saints Taking Wait-and-See Approach With Travis Etienne Jr.
The New Orleans Saints are taking a wait-and-see approach on running back Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) as far as his return from Injured Reserve to play in Week 10 against the division-rival Carolina Panthers, according to Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune. "We'll see," head coach Kellen Moore said. "He's progressing well. We'll gather some more information and make a decision." Etienne was eligible to come off the IR to play in last week's overtime win over the Cleveland Browns, but the Saints decided he needed another week to recover. He has not played since the Week 3 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, but Etienne is only 34 yards shy of quarterback Tyler Shough's team-leading 162 yards on the ground this year. If Etienne returns to practice on Wednesday, the 27-year-old will have a good chance to return as the Saints' lead back this weekend in a plus matchup against Carolina. Before his hamstring injury, the former Jaguars RB had 128 rushing yards on 30 carries while adding 11 catches for 51 yards in three games. Etienne could be eased back in when he is activated from IR, but he still remains the best bet to lead New Orleans in backfield touches and scrimmage yards when all is said and done in 2026.

Patriots Quiet at This Year's Trade Deadline
The New England Patriots did not make any trades at this year's NFL deadline on Tuesday, sources told Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald. Despite plenty of injuries on offense, primarily at wide receiver and running back, the Patriots took a standstill approach at Tuesday's deadline and did not make any moves. Running back Rhamondre Stevenson (knee) is expected to miss several weeks, while RB TreVeyon Henderson (illness) could miss a third straight game this weekend in Germany against the Detroit Lions due to a neurological condition. If both Stevenson and Henderson are unavailable, Corey Kiner would become New England's RB1. Star receiver A.J. Brown (knee, ankle) could also miss another game this weekend. The Patriots were hesitant to part with future draft capital after trading a 2028 first-rounder and a 2027 fifth-rounder to the Philadelphia Eagles for Brown in the offseason. Additionally, they were operating with only around $5 million in remaining salary cap space for the 2026 season.

Jets Keep Will McDonald Past the Trade Deadline
New York Jets defensive end Will McDonald put in a request to be traded before Tuesday's NFL deadline, but the Jets did not oblige him and did not trade him, according to Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic. Cornerback Nahshon Wright remains on the roster, too, which is a mild surprise, according to Rosenblatt. McDonald has not been as productive in 2026 for the Jets while losing playing time to both David Bailey and Kingsley Enagbare. The 27-year-old former 15th overall pick in 2023 from Iowa State has 16 tackles (seven solo), three sacks, two tackles for loss, seven QB hits, a forced fumble, and two fumble recoveries in nine games so far in 2026 in his fourth year in the NFL. McDonald was much more productive over the last two seasons for Gang Green, recording 18.5 sacks in 32 games played for the Jets. Despite being 2-7 as they head into a Week 10 divisional clash with the Buffalo Bills, the Jets chose to stand pat at this year's trade deadline, with their biggest non-move coming in the form of retaining star running back Breece Hall.

Steelers Explored Trades for Brian Thomas Jr., Other Receivers
The Pittsburgh Steelers had discussions about a trade for Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr., Indianapolis Colts receiver Josh Downs, and Tennessee Titans receiver Calvin Ridley, sources told Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Thomas and Ridley were not traded at Tuesday's NFL deadline, while Downs was sent to the Kansas City Chiefs. Thomas was a popular name leading up to the deadline, but the Jaguars never seemed all that interested in trading the former first-rounder despite him falling out of favor in the passing game in 2026 in his third year in the league. Instead of sending the 24-year-old pass-catcher away, the Jaguars sent plenty of draft capital to the Philadelphia Eagles, Atlanta Falcons, and New Orleans Saints on Monday for defensive tackle Jordan Davis, defensive back Jessie Bates III, and defensive tackle Davon Godchaux, respectively. Fantasy managers still holding Thomas would have preferred he be traded out of town after catching only 10 passes for 117 yards and two touchdowns in the first eight games of 2026. In the last four games, Thomas has put up three donuts for fantasy managers and has caught just one pass on seven targets for 12 yards. Thomas is impossible to trust in starting fantasy lineups in Week 10 against the division-rival Tennessee Titans.

Broncos Acquire Linebacker Daiyan Henley From Chargers
The Denver Broncos acquired linebacker Daiyan Henley from the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers on Tuesday, a source told Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. The Broncos sent a 2027 fourth-round draft pick and a 2028 fifth-round pick to the Chargers for Henley, who is in the final year of his rookie deal in 2026. The soon-to-be 27-year-old Henley will not be a big salary cap hit. The Broncos already have linebackers Alex Singleton and Justin Strnad, but they have been seeking depth for a defense that currently ranks 23rd in the NFL against the run. The Broncos were also interested in trading for Indianapolis Colts RB Jonathan Taylor and Tennessee Titans RB Tony Pollard, but they did not meet the Colts' and Titans' asking prices and stood pat at the RB position. Singleton is among one of the best tackling linebackers in the league, but the Broncos want to take some pressure off him, as the 32-year-old leads all defensive players with 617 snaps played over the first nine weeks. Henley will allow Denver to give Singleton some more rest going forward. The 26-year-old former third-rounder from Washington State had a team-high 51 tackles for the Chargers in eight games before being traded and was also the Bolts' leading tackler in each of the last two seasons.

Broncos, Giants Inquired About Tony Pollard
The Denver Broncos and New York Giants were among the teams that were interested in trading for Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard, sources told NFL insider Jordan Schultz. But the Titans were adamant for weeks that they were unlikely to move Pollard, as he has been vital to the locker room and the continued development of second-year quarterback Cam Ward. Out of the AFC South, both Pollard and Indianapolis Colts star running back Jonathan Taylor stayed put at Tuesday's NFL trade deadline. The 29-year-old Pollard has also been a huge asset for fantasy managers in 2026, as he currently ranks as the RB16 in half-PPR scoring with 595 rushing yards and six touchdowns on 133 carries through eight games played, adding 14 catches for 70 yards on 21 targets. In the last five weeks, he has been a top-10 RB with five touchdowns and 374 rushing yards. Pollard, who is on an expiring deal, made sense for contending teams looking to bolster their backfield, as the Titans are 1-7 heading into a Week 10 home game against the division-rival Jacksonville Jaguars. Now that he is staying in Tennessee for the remainder of the 2026 season, the Titans could look to reach a contract extension with Pollard before the start of free agency next March.

Eagles Waive Running Back Jaydon Blue
The Philadelphia Eagles waived running back Jaydon Blue on Tuesday, according to Zach Berman of The Athletic. With the move, the Eagles do not currently have another running back on their active roster behind starter Saquon Barkley as they head into their Week 10 bye, with Tank Bigsby (abdomen) and Will Shipley (foot) still on Injured Reserve. On the practice squad, they still have Elijah Mitchell, so if they do not add to the position before their Week 11 contest against the Pittsburgh Steelers, expect Mitchell to come up to the active 53-man roster to give them depth behind Barkley, who continues to battle through nagging hamstring and back injuries. The 22-year-old Blue, a fifth-rounder by the Dallas Cowboys in 2025 from Texas, was surprisingly cut by the Cowboys just before the start of the regular season. He stayed in the NFC East with the Eagles, but Blue mostly worked on special teams in two games in Philly, failing to record a rushing attempt while catching only one pass for nine yards. Even with the Eagles' offense extremely banged up, it is a bad sign that Blue is now available off waivers to all of the other NFL teams.

Colts Sign Nick Westbrook-Ikhine to Active Roster
After trading wide receivers Keenan Allen and Josh Downs to the San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs, respectively, on Tuesday, the Indianapolis Colts signed Nick Westbrook-Ikhine to their 53-man active roster from their practice squad, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Alec Pierce (heel) remains on Injured Reserve and has no timetable for a return, so with Allen and Downs now out of town, the Colts are looking at starting Laquon Treadwell, Ashton Dulin, and rookie Deion Burks in their Week 10 matchup against the Miami Dolphins. Westbrook-Ikhine will join Anthony Gould as they look for a role on offense going forward for the rebuilding Colts. The 29-year-old Westbrook-Ikhine has been active for only three games with Indy this year, failing to corral his only target in the passing game. He had a career-high 497 receiving yards and nine touchdowns on 32 receptions in 2024 in his final year with the Tennessee Titans, but he caught just 11 passes for 89 yards and no touchdowns last year in 15 games with Miami. In a Colts offense that is averaging just over 20 points per game in 2026, and after just losing their best two remaining WRs to trades, fantasy managers should be avoiding this receiving corps if they can.
