Los Angeles Kings right wing Corey Perry (personal) practiced with the team on Monday, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports. The veteran appears poised to return to the lineup on Tuesday against the New York Rangers. Perry has missed three games for personal reasons. After skating with Adrian Kempe and Alex Laferriere and working on the top power-play unit at Monday's practice, Perry may offer additional fantasy value on Tuesday night. The 2011 MVP has produced 10 goals and 13 assists in 37 contests this season.

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward
Paul George (knee) is unavailable for Monday's matchup with the Indiana Pacers. George will sit out tonight's contest due to left knee injury management after he had played in three consecutive games. He is averaging 15.9 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.3 steals across 29.8 minutes per game across 23 outings this campaign. With George out of action, more scoring opportunities will likely come to
Quentin Grimes and Kelly Oubre as they will have heavier workloads in the Sixers frontcourt this evening.

Philadelphia Flyers right wing Bobby Brink (upper body) was activated from Injured Reserve and is expected to rejoin the lineup on Monday night against the Vegas Golden Knights. The 24-year-old has been unavailable for six games due to an upper-body injury. Brink is projected to skate with Matvei Michkov and Noah Cates and should also see power-play time on the second unit. In 2025-26, Brink is attempting to post his second consecutive 40-point campaign. He has notched 11 goals and 20 points through 41 appearances. Philadelphia's forwards have an appealing fantasy matchup on Monday, facing a team with the third-lowest save percentage in the league.

Toronto Maple Leafs forward William Nylander (groin) will be sidelined for a second consecutive game on Monday versus the Minnesota Wild. According to Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube, there isn't a timeline for Nylander's return. Toronto may also be without Matthew Knies (undisclosed) on Monday after he missed the morning skate. Knies has been Nylander's replacement on the second line. With Knies also unavailable, Scott Laughton skated in the spot on Monday morning. Laughton's fantasy value would increase significantly if he sticks on the line as John Tavares' and Matias Maccelli's partner for Monday's game.

Golden State Warriors forward/center
Draymond Green (ankle) has been downgraded to questionable ahead of Monday's matchup with the Miami Heat. The 35-year-old veteran has played in eight of nine Warriors games in January, but with his status downgraded to questionable, he is in danger of missing tonight's tilt. If Green is unable to suit up, Golden State's frontcourt will have to rely on
Quinten Post,
Al Horford, and
Trayce Jackson-Davis to take on extra minutes.

Winger Kiefer Sherwood (undisclosed) was dealt from the Vancouver Canucks to the San Jose Sharks on Monday. Vancouver made a deal for a couple of second-round draft picks and minor league defenseman Cole Clayton. Sherwood is in the second season of a two-year, $3 million contract and has had a decent campaign. The 30-year-old has scored 17 goals and 23 points in 44 outings. Sherwood will also add a lot of muscle to the Sharks' lineup, as he ranks second in the NHL with 210 hits. Currently, Sherwood is nursing an undisclosed injury, and it's unclear whether he will play before the Olympic break. Still, Sherwood looks like a good pickup by the Sharks, who hope to end a six-game postseason drought in 2026.

Florida Panthers winger Matthew Tkachuk (groin) will make his season debut on Monday night against the San Jose Sharks. The star forward has been cleared to play after recovering from offseason surgery. Florida will ease Tkachuk back into action on the third line. He will skate with Mackie Samoskevich and Evan Rodrigues. Tkachuk will also join the top power-play unit. While Tkachuk could be rusty in his first few games back, he has enough talent to make an immediate impact. On Monday night, Tkachuk and the Panthers go up against the NHL's third-weakest defense.

Sepp Straka returns to La Quinta this week to defend his title at The American Express, where he ran away from the field a year ago with a dominant 25-under-par winning total. The path to a repeat won't be easy, as this year's field features eight of the world's top 20 players. With four PGA Tour victories since 2022, the big Austrian has firmly established himself as a consistent contender. The AmEx marks his 2026 season debut. He warrants serious consideration across DFS lineups and betting markets.

Si Woo Kim recorded a T11 at last week's Sony Open in his first start of 2026. Kim is scheduled to tee it up in this week's American Express, an event where he's performed consistently well in the past. The South Korean's track record at La Quinta includes a victory and three additional top-25 finishes since 2021. He flashed strong ball-striking chops last week in Hawaii, gaining 1.1 strokes off the tee and 1.7 strokes on approach. With proven course history and trending form, Kim profiles as a high-upside option in both fantasy and betting markets for the AmEx.

When asked about quarterback
C.J. Stroud and a potential long-term contract extension, Houston Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans said, "I'm not getting into that right now." Stroud will most likely have his fifth-year option picked up by Houston, but all bets are off as far as long-term extension talks go after a rough two-game performance in the playoffs this year. The 24-year-old former second overall pick in 2023 out of Ohio State threw an interception and fumbled five times (two lost) in the Wild-Card win over the Pittsburgh Steelers before going 20-for-47 for 212 yards, one touchdown, and a season-high four interceptions in the loss to the New England Patriots on Sunday in the Divisional Round. Stroud burst onto the scene as a rookie in 2023, but since then, he's had two disappointing campaigns that raise questions in Houston about whether he's actually the long-term answer under center.

The Denver Broncos are opening the 21-day practice window for running back
J.K. Dobbins (foot), who suffered what was thought to be a season-ending Lisfranc foot injury in Week 10 against the Las Vegas Raiders, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter. Depending on how he looks and feels in practice this week, Dobbins has a chance to play in Sunday's AFC Championship game against the visiting New England Patriots. It would be great news for a Broncos team that received the devastating news shortly after Saturday's Divisional Round win over the Buffalo Bills that star quarterback
Bo Nix is out for the rest of the playoffs with a broken ankle. Still, Dobbins might have a better chance to return if the Broncos pull off the upset over the Pats to reach the Super Bowl. If he does return this weekend, we'd expect a limited role for Dobbins alongside rookie
RJ Harvey and
Jaleel McLaughlin.

Former Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott, who was fired on Monday after the Bills' Divisional Round loss to the Denver Broncos on Saturday, told his staff after he was let go that he plans to keep coaching, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Not counting the Bills, there are currently six head-coaching jobs available around the league, and McDermott could be a candidate for the Arizona Cardinals, Baltimore Ravens, Cleveland Browns, Las Vegas Raiders, Miami Dolphins, Pittsburgh Steelers, or Tennessee Titans. Current betting odds have McDermott as the second-most likely candidate to land the job in Pittsburgh, behind only Los Angeles Rams defensive coordinator Chris Shula. In his nine seasons at the helm in Buffalo, McDermott led the Bills to the playoffs eight times, but his inability to get the team to the Super Bowl ultimately cost him his job.

The Las Vegas Raiders have interviewed San Francisco 49ers offensive coordinator Klay Kubiak for their vacant head-coaching position, the team announced. In addition to the Raiders, Kubiak is expected to be interviewed by the Pittsburgh Steelers for their head-coaching job. He was the 49ers' offensive coordinator for the first time in 2025, and he had to navigate through plenty of injuries to key offensive skill players, including quarterback
Brock Purdy. San Fran eventually ranked 10th in total points and seventh in total offensive yards under the direction of Kubiak, the son of former NFL head coach Gary Kubiak. His brother, Klint Kubiak, who is the OC for the Seattle Seahawks, is the more likely of the brothers to land a head-coaching job this cycle.

The Miami Dolphins announced on Monday that they completed an interview with Detroit Lions defensive coordinator Kelvin Sheppard for their head-coaching job. Sheppard was in his first year as the DC in Detroit in 2025, and the Lions' defense ranked 22nd in points allowed and 18th in total yards allowed. It wasn't a great showing, but injuries decimated the secondary, giving them little chance for consistency on that side of the ball. In addition to Sheppard, the Dolphins had Las Vegas Raiders defensive coordinator Patrick Graham in for an in-person interview on Monday. Green Bay Packers DC Jeff Hafley is considered the front-runner for Miami's head-coaching job because of his familiarity with new general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan. The Dolphins talking with Sheppard and Graham will satisfy their Rooney Rule requirements, so Sheppard is probably a long shot to get the job.

The Baltimore Ravens are bringing in Miami Dolphins defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver on Tuesday for a second head-coaching interview, a source told the NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Weaver is a former Baltimore player and assistant coach, and he's been a finalist for multiple head-coaching jobs in recent years. In addition to garnering interest from the Ravens, Weaver is a finalist for the Pittsburgh Steelers' head-coaching vacancy. Whoever Baltimore selects will have massive shoes to fill following John Harbaugh's 19 years with the organization, which included a Super Bowl championship. In 2021, Weaver was the Ravens' defensive-line coach before serving as the assistant head coach and D-line coach under Harbaugh from 2022-23 before going to the Dolphins to become their DC. Weaver's familiarity with Baltimore's organization could give him a leg up.

The Detroit Lions are hiring former Arizona Cardinals offensive coordinator Drew Petzing as their offensive coordinator on Monday, sources told Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network. The 38-year-old kept the Cardinals' offense afloat in 2025 despite a rash of injuries, including at quarterback to
Kyler Murray (foot). Petzing will now have a huge opportunity in 2026 to run the talented Lions offense under head coach Dan Campbell. He will take over for Johnny Morton, who lasted just one year as the OC in Detroit. Under Petzing this past season, Arizona was pass-heavy after veteran QB
Jacoby Brissett took over for the injured Murray in Week 6. The Lions offense wasn't terrible in 2025 under Morton, and the change in coordinators shouldn't negatively affect any of the team's skill players' fantasy values heading into 2026.

The Buffalo Bills announced on Monday that they promoted general manager Brandon Beane to president of football operations. It comes on the same day that they also fired head coach Sean McDermott following their Divisional Round loss on Saturday to the Denver Broncos. Beane and McDermott were both hired by the organization in 2017, and the Bills made the playoffs in eight of their nine seasons together. It's been quite a run for Buffalo with quarterback
Josh Allen at the helm, but Beane will now lead the search to try to find a head coach who can lead the Bills back to the Super Bowl, and hopefully to their first-ever championship. The presence of Allen at the most important position in football immediately makes the Bills' vacant head-coaching job one of the most attractive in the NFL this offseason.

The Kansas City Chiefs are requesting permission to interview Chicago Bears running backs coach Eric Bieniemy for their offensive-coordinator position, a source told Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. Current OC Matt Nagy's contract is set to expire, and he's seeking head-coaching jobs around the league. The Chiefs' offense still mainly runs through head coach Andy Reid, but they could be reuniting with Bieniemy after a frustrating 2025 campaign that saw KC miss the playoffs for the first time in a decade. Bieniemy last worked for the Chiefs in 2022, but he has a long history with Reid and was part of two of the team's recent Super Bowl runs. In the past three years, he's worked for the Bears, Washington Commanders, and in college at UCLA. With the Chiefs looking to get back on track in 2026, bringing Bieniemy back would make a lot of sense.

The Philadelphia Eagles will interview former Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Josh Grizzard on Monday for their open offensive-coordinator position, sources told Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports. Grizzard was Tampa's passing-game coordinator in 2024, when the team ranked third in passing. The Bucs had four one-score wins in their first five games in 2025, with quarterback
Baker Mayfield looking like an MVP candidate before injuries took their toll. Tampa parted ways with Grizzard following the season. The Buccaneers' passing attack finished 22nd in yards per attempt and 20th in total passing yards under Grizzard in his lone season as the OC. The Eagles are looking for a new offensive direction after firing Kevin Patullo following one season, and Grizzard could help quarterback
Jalen Hurts improve as a passer.

Chicago Bears wide receiver
Rome Odunze (foot) reiterated that he will not need offseason surgery on his foot, according to Jason Lieser of the Chicago Sun-Times. Odunze had a stress fracture in his foot that caused him to miss the final five games of the regular season. He returned for Chicago's two playoff games to catch exactly two passes for 44 yards in both contests. The 23-year-old second-year wideout was a popular breakout candidate in fantasy going into the 2025 season, and he was well on his way to fulfilling that with five touchdown catches in the first four games. However, Odunze quickly cooled off and scored only one more time in his final 10 games. His foot injury likely had something to do with that. Odunze will look to bounce back in 2026 with better health, but his fantasy ceiling could be capped with the emergence of young receiver
Luther Burden III and tight end
Colston Loveland.

Updating a previous report, Seattle Seahawks running back
Zach Charbonnet (knee) suffered a torn ACL in his knee in Saturday's Divisional Round win over the San Francisco 49ers, a source told Adam Schefter of ESPN. Charbonnet will require surgery and will not only miss the rest of the playoffs, but he'll most likely miss most of the 2026 season as well, given the timing of his injury. Before tearing his ACL, the 25-year-old third-year back ran the ball five times for 20 yards.
Kenneth Walker had 19 carries for a season-high 116 yards and three touchdowns with Charbonnet out. It's a tough ending to Charbonnet's best season in the NFL, as he set career highs across the board during the regular season in carries (184), rushing yards (730), and rushing touchdowns (12). Walker should see a bigger workload the rest of the way in the postseason, with
Velus Jones Jr. being elevated to the RB2 role.

Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald doesn't believe that quarterback
Sam Darnold (oblique) suffered a setback with his oblique injury during Saturday's 41-6 blowout win over the San Francisco 49ers in the Divisional Round of the playoffs, according to The Athletic's Michael-Shawn Dugar. "To my knowledge, he's good. Didn't make it worse or anything," Macdonald said. However, Darnold said on Saturday night that his oblique is "something they'll have to keep managing." The 28-year-old went 12-for-17 passing for 124 yards with a touchdown in the win over the Niners after suffering an oblique injury in practice last Thursday. The Seahawks didn't need Darnold to throw the ball much in the rout, but that probably won't be the case this weekend against L.A. Darnold might be on the injury report, but he should be fine to take the field against the Rams next Sunday.

Seattle Seahawks running back
Zach Charbonnet (knee) suffered a significant knee injury in Saturday's Divisional Round win over the San Francisco 49ers and will require surgery, according to head coach Mike Macdonald. Charbonnet will miss the rest of the playoffs, according to Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic. It's a significant blow to Seattle's offense heading into the NFC Championship game this weekend against the division-rival Los Angeles Rams. The 25-year-old had only five carries for 20 yards on Saturday before the injury, and he finished the regular season with career highs in rushing attempts (184), rushing yards (730), and rushing touchdowns (12) in 16 games played. Charb added 20 catches for 144 yards through the air.
Kenneth Walker III should have a bigger role as the RB1 going forward, with
Velus Jones Jr. expected to back him up as the RB2.

The Philadelphia Eagles requested to interview Miami Dolphins senior passing-game coordinator Bobby Slowik for their offensive-coordinator position, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. The Eagles are looking to replace Kevin Patullo after just one season with the team in the OC role. Slowik was generating head-coaching buzz after an amazing 2023 season as the Houston Texans' OC, but he was fired after the 2024 campaign after quarterback
C.J. Stroud took a major step back. As of right now, the Eagles are the only known team to have requested an interview with Slowik for an OC role. A disciple of Kyle Shanahan, Slowik would be an interesting voice for an Eagles offense that led the NFL in three-and-outs in 2025. Philly still has plenty of weapons on offense, making the job one of the most attractive OC positions available across the league.

Pittsburgh Steelers offensive coordinator Arthur Smith was requested to interview for the Los Angeles Chargers' vacant offensive coordinator position, a source told Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. Smith has generated significant OC interest around the league and is also a head-coaching candidate for a few teams. The Steelers averaged their most points under Smith in 2025 since the 2020 season, and he also had a top-five offense back when he was the OC for the Tennessee Titans. Smith is unlikely to return to the Steel City in 2026 after long-time head coach Mike Timlin resigned last week. The former head coach of the Atlanta Falcons is known for running plenty of two-tight-end sets and a run-first offense, which wouldn't be a big departure from previous Chargers OC Greg Roman.

The Atlanta Falcons agreed to terms on a new, undisclosed three-year deal with defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich on Monday, sources told Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network. It's the first staff addition for new head coach Kevin Stefanski in Atlanta. The Falcons' pass rush was one of the worst in the league in 2024, but under Ulbrich in 2025, they set a franchise record with 57 sacks. The Falcons also finished 15th in yards allowed and 19th in points allowed in Ulbrich's first season with the organization. Atlanta denied a request from the Dallas Cowboys earlier this month to interview Ulbrich for their DC opening. The former interim head coach for the New York Jets will stick around for three more years for the start of Stefanski's tenure in Atlanta. The continuity with Ulbrich is good news as the Falcons' defense looks to maintain their gains from 2025.

Former Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy has interviewed twice in recent days for the Tennessee Titans' head coaching job -- once in late December in Green Bay, and then again on Friday and Saturday in Tennessee, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The Titans fired former head coach Brian Callahan early on during the 2025 season, and the fact that they discussed the job with McCarthy before the regular season was over suggests that he's a finalist for the job despite taking the entire 2025 season off from coaching. The New York Giants were looking at McCarthy before they hired John Harbaugh, and the former Packers head coach is also drawing interest from the Pittsburgh Steelers. If McCarthy were to land in Tennessee, he'd be leading young quarterback
Cameron Ward going into his sophomore season after a tough first NFL campaign.

Jacksonville Jaguars defensive coordinator Anthony Campanile is interviewing for the Baltimore Ravens' head-coaching job on Monday, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. The Tennessee Titans and Miami Dolphins have also shown interest in Campanile for their head-coaching positions this cycle. The 43-year-old led a strong Jaguars defense that finished eighth in points allowed and 11th in total yards allowed in his first year with the team in 2025. Campanile would be a good fit for an already strong defense in Baltimore, but he'd be a questionable fit as the Ravens look to get quarterback
Lamar Jackson turned around after an injury-riddled and extremely disappointing season that led to John Harbaugh's firing.

Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley is scheduled to interview with the Las Vegas Raiders for their head-coaching job on Wednesday, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Hafley is a hot name for open head-coaching positions around the league this cycle, and he's considered the favorite for the job with the Miami Dolphins because of his familiarity with new general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan. The 46-year-old has led the Packers to top-12 defenses in each of the last two seasons. In addition to the Dolphins and Raiders, the Tennessee Titans and Arizona Cardinals are looking at Hafley for their head-coaching position.

The Las Vegas Raiders are set to interview former Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel for the team's head-coaching job on Monday, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. A lot of options are still on the table for McDaniel after he was fired by the Dolphins following the 2025 season. In addition to being a finalist for the Raiders' head-coaching job, he's also a finalist for the same position with the Cleveland Browns, and McDaniel is also a top offensive-coordinator candidate for several teams around the league. Another head-coaching gig is probably the priority for McDaniel, but if nothing works out on that front, he should have a pretty desirable OC job waiting for him. In Vegas, McDaniel would be an intriguing pairing for Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza, who is expected to be the No. 1 overall pick by the Raiders in the 2026 NFL Draft.
