Shayne Gostisbehere Unavailable Against Penguins
Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere (lower body) will be sidelined for a second straight game on Tuesday against the Pittsburgh Penguins. He suffered a lower-body injury last week, and there haven't been any updates regarding a potential return date for Gostisbehere. Losing Gostisbehere has been a big blow for Carolina, as the veteran has averaged nearly a point per game this season. He has notched 11 goals and 32 assists in 45 appearances. Mike Reilly will keep filling in for him on Tuesday, but he doesn't hold any fantasy value. Alexander Nikishin has benefited the most from Gostisbehere's absence, replacing him on the first power-play unit.

Jaguars Not Interested in Trading Brian Thomas Jr.
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr.'s name has been floated around this offseason as a possibility of being traded after his down year in 2025, but the Jaguars don't seem to be interested in dealing him. "I've been told that the Jaguars aren't interested in trading Brian Thomas. His name continues to be floated out there, but the Jaguars have no interest in moving on from him," ESPN's Adam Schefter said on the Pat McAfee Show on Tuesday. There was some speculation that the New York Jets had interest in acquiring the 23-year-old former 23rd overall pick from LSU. A move to New York would be really bad news for Thomas' fantasy managers in dynasty/keeper leagues. Thomas was a Pro Bowler in 2024, catching a whopping 87 passes for 1,282 yards and 10 touchdowns in 17 games, but he had a disappointing 48-707-2 line in 2025 in Year 2. Staying in Jacksonville might not be the worst thing for Thomas, but his fantasy ceiling will certainly be limited with Meyers in the picture and Parker Washington also looking for a bigger role.

Marcus Johansson Returns From Two-Game Absence
Minnesota Wild left wing Marcus Johansson (upper body) has been cleared to return to the lineup on Tuesday against the Utah Mammoth. He is expected to link up with Joel Eriksson Ek and Matt Boldy on the second line. Nico Sturm will make room in the lineup for Johansson, who has missed two games due to an upper-body injury. Johansson is one point short of his sixth 40-point campaign. He has contributed 13 goals and 26 assists in 57 contests this season. Utah's defense can be tough to break down, making this a challenging matchup for Johansson and the Wild.

Chris Gotterup Hopes to Continue Impressive Season at The Players
It was a return to form this past week for Chris Gotterup at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, finishing tied for 18th. He even gained strokes on the greens for the first time since his win at the Sony Open. The 26-year-old will now travel to Ponte Vedra for his second consecutive Players start. Given what we've already seen in 2026, it would be easy to assume that Gotterup will be among the more favored list of guys to compete this week. However, the deeper side of the analytics may say otherwise. He is 145th in driving accuracy (54.22%) this year, ranks rather poorly in approach metrics beyond 200 yards, and has had questionable wedgeplay at times. His play certainly warrants his high-profile status, but there are better weeks to play him than a demanding TPC Sawgrass.

New Receiver Addition Doesn't End Patriots Interest in A.J. Brown
Updating a previous report, the New England Patriots' free-agent signing of wide receiver Romeo Doubs on Tuesday "does not end their interest in trading" for Philadelphia Eagles receiver A.J. Brown, according to the NFL Network's Cameron Wolfe. The Patriots aren't in as much of a rush now for a pass-catcher, and it might mean they don't end up acquiring him because of the Eagles' high asking price, but Wolfe says that they "still love" Brown. The Patriots signed Doubs to a four-year, $80 million contract, but they might not be fully sold on his ability to replace veteran Stefon Diggs as the WR1 for quarterback Drake Maye in 2026. The problem is that Philly doesn't have to trade Brown, and they certainly aren't going to give out a discount for a 28-year-old who has six 1,000-yard seasons in his seven years in the league. The three-time Pro Bowler would certainly have a more optimistic fantasy outlook if he were to join New England after he had a career-low 12.9 yards per catch in 2025.

Moses Moody Out Against Bulls
Golden State Warriors guard/forward Moses Moody (wrist) is unavailable for Tuesday's matchup with the Chicago Bulls. Moody will be out of action for the fourth consecutive contest due to a sprained right wrist. His next chance to suit up is Friday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. While Moody is on the shelf, Gui Santos will continue to see extra opportunities. The 22-year-old forward is coming off a solid performance, finishing with 15 points, eight rebounds, five assists and two steals during Monday's loss to Utah.

Darren Raddysh Sits Out Tuesday's Game
Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Darren Raddysh (personal) won't play on Tuesday against the Columbus Blue Jackets. He is away from the team to attend his father's funeral. Raddysh has been excellent this season, registering 58 points (17 goals, 41 assists), 153 shots, 56 blocks, and 59 hits in 56 appearances. Victor Hedman will work on the first power-play unit until Raddysh returns. Charle-Edouard D'Astous is penciled in for a spot on the second unit against Columbus, giving him additional fantasy value. Tampa's blue line will also be without Erik Cernak (undisclosed) on Tuesday, with Steve Santini set to enter the lineup.

Falcons to Have "Open" QB Competition Between Tua Tagovailoa, Michael Penix Jr.
The NFL Network's Cameron Wolfe reports that when Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. (knee) recovers from his torn ACL, it will be an "open competition" at QB between Penix and Tua Tagovailoa. Both signal-callers have struggled to stay healthy -- Penix with three torn ACLs and Tagovailoa with multiple serious concussions -- but Tagovailoa has more experience and a Pro Bowl nod under his belt in his six years in the NFL. The former fifth overall pick out of Alabama led the league in passing yards in 2023, but has struggled the last two seasons and has failed to top the 3,000-yard mark. It's low risk for the Falcons since Tagovailoa will be on a veteran's minimum in 2026, and it gives the team a chance to push Penix once he's healthy and ready to go. The problem for Penix is that if he's not physically ready to play to begin the season and Tagovailoa looks good as the starter, he might not have a chance to win the job back. It will be an interesting battle to watch later this summer in an offense with plenty of weapons now being run by a bright offensive mind in Kevin Stefanski.

Sam Reinhart Out Tuesday
Florida Panthers forward Sam Reinhart (undisclosed) won't play on Tuesday against the Detroit Red Wings. He is dealing with an unspecified health issue and must sit out his first game of the season. Even with the Panthers struggling this season, Reinhart has remained productive on the offensive end, scoring 28 goals and 59 points in 63 games. Florida's frontline is also without Brad Marchand (lower body), allowing Luke Kunin and Vincent Hinostroza to enter the lineup. However, the two will skate in fourth-line roles, making them unlikely to offer fantasy value.

John Gibson Available Tuesday
Detroit Red Wings goaltender John Gibson (undisclosed) will start Tuesday's matchup with the Florida Panthers. The veteran netminder missed the final period in Sunday's 3-0 win over New Jersey due to an undisclosed injury. Gibson has been top-class for the Red Wings during his first year with the team, posting a 24-13-2 record. He has recorded a 2.52 goals-against average, a .907 save percentage, and four shutouts. Tuesday night presents Gibson with a chance to redeem himself after last Friday's 3-1 loss to the Panthers.

Dylan Larkin Misses Second Consecutive Game
Detroit Red Wings center Dylan Larkin (leg) will remain out on Tuesday against the Florida Panthers. The Red Wings captain injured his right leg last week and will sit out a second consecutive game. Andrew Copp is expected to continue as Detroit's first-line center on Tuesday. Flanked by prolific wingers Patrick Kane and Alex DeBrincat, Copp will carry additional fantasy value until Larkin returns. As a result of Larkin's absence, Marco Kasper also rejoined the top six on Sunday against the New Jersey Devils and is likely to retain his spot for Tuesday's game.

More Snaps, Opportunities Coming for Tyquan Thornton?
The Kansas City Chiefs re-signed wide receiver Tyquan Thornton to a two-year, $11 million deal on Monday night, and ESPN's Nate Taylor thinks the Chiefs "should be able to offer him more snaps and more opportunities." The 25-year-old was one of KC's best receivers in 2025, especially early on when both Xavier Worthy (shoulder) and Rashee Rice (suspension) were out. Thornton had a career-high 438 receiving yards and three touchdowns on 19 catches in his first year working with quarterback Patrick Mahomes. "He's the GOAT in my eyes, man," Thornton said of Mahomes. "He's a competitor, and he makes me so much better. It was an honor to go out there and catch those passes from him." As things currently stand, Thornton looks like the WR3 behind Rice and Worthy. His big-play potential is intriguing, though, as a late-round flier in what should be an improved Chiefs offense.

Kyle Anderson Good to Go on Tuesday
According to Dane Moore of The Dane Moore NBA Podcast, Minnesota Timberwolves forward Kyle Anderson (knee) is available for Tuesday's game after missing one contest with a right knee issue. The veteran forward has played a limited role in his second stint with Minnesota, averaging 3.0 points, 2.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 14.5 minutes across his first two appearances. Given his modest workload, Anderson is unlikely to provide meaningful fantasy value on Tuesday.

Greg Dulcich to Have Significant Role in Dolphins Offense in 2026?
ESPN's Marcel Louis-Jacques writes that Miami Dolphins tight end Greg Dulcich "should figure heavily" in the team's passing game in 2026 under new head coach Jeff Hafley. Dulcich didn't make his debut for the Dolphins last year until October, but he managed to be one of the club's bright spots, catching 26 passes for 335 yards and a touchdown on 33 targets in 10 games (three starts). Believe it or not, he was Miami's third-leading receiver. He also quietly led all tight ends in average yards after the catch (7.6) and yards per target (10.2) while finishing third in yards per catch (12.9). Quarterback Malik Davis will be running the Dolphins' offense going forward, giving Dulcich some real deep sleeper potential at the TE position going into the 2026 season if they don't re-sign veteran Darren Waller. Injuries have slowed the former third-rounder by the Broncos in 2022, as he's yet to play over 10 games in a season in his four years.

Panthers Re-Sign Receiver David Moore
The Carolina Panthers re-signed wide receiver David Moore to an undisclosed deal on Tuesday, according to Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer. Moore only played in four games for the Panthers in 2025 in his second year with the team, catching his only target for five yards. The 31-year-old former seventh-round selection by the Seattle Seahawks in 2017 out of East Central totaled 32 receptions on a career-high 57 targets for 351 yards and three touchdowns in 17 games played in his first year in Carolina in 2024. Moore will return to provide depth for Carolina's wide receiver room, but he can pretty much be ignored in all fantasy formats going into his ninth NFL season. Moore has never gone over 35 receptions, 445 receiving yards, or six touchdowns in a single year in his NFL career.

Vederian Lowe isn't a Replacement for Trent Williams in San Francisco
The San Francisco 49ers added former New England Patriots swing tackle Vederian Lowe in free agency for two years and $12 million. Lowe is "not a replacement" for Trent Williams, though, according to Vic Tafur and Matt Barrows of The Athletic. The 6-foot-5, 315-pounder started four games at left tackle last season for New England and has 25 starts in the last three seasons. Williams continues to butt heads with the 49ers on his contract, which is scheduled to count $38 million against the 2026 salary cap. The 49ers must figure out what to do with Williams before March 20, when he's due a $10 million option bonus. There's a chance the 49ers opt to trade him, but only then would Lowe be a potential starter at left tackle for San Francisco. The Williams situation is one to watch, as it could drastically impact their O-line and quarterback Brock Purdy.

Will Richard Available on Tuesday
Golden State Warriors guard/forward Will Richard (ankle) is available for Tuesday's matchup with the Chicago Bulls. The 23-year-old missed four consecutive games due to a right ankle sprain. Before the injury, Richard had been fairly productive, averaging 10.6 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 21.1 minutes per contest across his previous five outings. However, he is not considered a reliable streaming option on Tuesday, as his minutes could be limited while he works his way back from the absence.

Al Horford Active Against Bulls
Golden State Warriors forward/center Al Horford (toe) will play on Tuesday against the Chicago Bulls. Horford missed the first set of a back-to-back on Monday due to toe injury maintenance. The 39-year-old veteran center is averaging 8.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.6 assists, and 1.1 blocks across 21.8 minutes per contest in 41 games this season. Kristaps Porzingis (illness) is also set to return, so Quinten Post (foot) and Malevy Leons minutes on the floor will be significantly shortened during tonight's contest.

49ers Have Interest in Re-Signing Brian Robinson Jr.
The San Francisco 49ers have interest in re-signing running back Brian Robinson Jr., according to Vic Tafur and Matt Barrows of The Athletic. Robinson had a solid season in the Bay Area as the backup behind Christian McCaffrey in his first year with the team in 2025, even though he had a career-low 400 rushing yards and only two touchdowns on 92 carries over 17 regular-season games. In his first three NFL campaigns with the Washington Commanders, the 26-year-old former third-round pick out of Alabama had at least 733 rushing yards out of the backfield. B-Rob's best chance for a rebound in fantasy would be to sign elsewhere, but another injury to CMC would also thrust Robinson into a significant backfield role in one of the better offenses in the league if he re-signs. Robinson didn't have over 10 carries in a single game last year with McCaffrey staying healthy all year.

Seahawks Likely to Take a Running Back Early in the Draft?
The Seattle Seahawks let Super Bowl MVP running back Kenneth Walker III walk in free agency to the Kansas City Chiefs. Zach Charbonnet (knee) suffered a torn ACL in the playoffs in January and might not be ready for the start of the 2026 regular season, which is why The Athletic's Michael-Shawn Dugar believes the Seahawks will "probably" draft a RB in April with one of their first three picks at Nos. 32, 64, or 96. The Seahawks have a history of valuing the RB position more in the draft than in free agency, too. The Athletic's Dane Brugler recently mocked Notre Dame running back Jadarian Price to Seattle with the No. 64 overall pick. Depending on who the Seahawks pick up at RB in the draft and Charbonnet's early-season status, incumbent George Holani could be a sleeper for playing time as the Seahawks look to defend their title in 2026.

Kristaps Porzingis Set to Suit Up Tuesday
Golden State Warriors forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (illness) is available for Tuesday's matchup with the Chicago Bulls.

The 30-year-old recently returned to action in Saturday's loss to Oklahoma City following a six-game absence, finishing with nine points, five rebounds, five assists and one block in 23 minutes. However, he will likely remain on a minutes restriction as the team continues to ease him back into the lineup.

Demotion Coming in Seattle for Cooper Kupp?
The Athletic's Michael-Shawn Dugar writes that Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Rashid Shaheed's new deal "suggests a demotion" for Cooper Kupp, who turns 33 years old in June. Last year, Kupp was second on the team in targets (70) and receiving yards (593), and third in catches (47). His 2026 salary cap hit sits at $17.4 million, fourth-highest on the team behind Sam Darnold, Leonard Williams, and Uchenna Nwosu. One of either Shaheed or Kupp will end up being a pricey WR3, and the team still has second-year wideout Tory Horton. If the Seahawks were to trade Kupp, they'd save around $9.4 million in 2026. Kupp led the NFL in catches (145), targets (191), receiving yards (1,947), and touchdowns (16) in 2021 with the Los Angeles Rams, but he's steadily declined since then. He caught only two touchdown passes in 16 regular-season games in 2025 and might have an even smaller role in his 10th year in the NFL if he stays in Seattle.

Can Jahan Dotson Handle WR2 Role in Atlanta?
Retired All-Pro wide receiver Steve Smith Sr. believes that new Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Jahan Dotson "has developed enough" to handle the No. 2 receiver role behind Drake London, according to Josh Kendall of The Athletic. The Falcons have released Darnell Mooney and KhaDarel Hodge, leaving only London, Casey Washington, and Deven Thompkins under contract in 2026. In addition to Dotson, the Falcons signed Olamide Zaccheaus on Monday. The 25-year-old former 16th overall pick by the Washington Commanders in 2022 out of Penn State only has 1,519 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns on 121 catches in his first four NFL seasons with the Commanders and Philadelphia Eagles, but his speed means he'll be "expected to play the field-stretcher role" that was handled the last two years by Mooney. Given Atlanta's big question mark at quarterback, Dotson figures to be a boom/bust WR4/5, at best, in fantasy in 2026.

Braden Smith Signs With Texans on Two-Year Deal
Former Indianapolis Colts offensive tackle Braden Smith is signing with the Houston Texans on Tuesday on a two-year, $25 million deal, sources told Dianna Russini of The Athletic. Smith was drafted in the second round by the Colts in 2018 out of Auburn. The 29-year-old right tackle started 105 of the 107 games he appeared in over his eight seasons with the Colts. Smith has trended down the last two seasons and finished last year on Injured Reserve due to a concussion and neck injury. Still, the Texans are hoping he can be an upgrade at right tackle next season over Trent Brown. Houston's offensive line was a liability last year. Pass protection isn't Smith's specialty, but he should at least be competent as a run-blocker if he can stay healthy in his new digs in Houston.

Patriots Conversations on A.J. Brown "Aren't Dead Yet"
NFL Network's Cameron Wolfe says that he was told that the New England Patriots' talks regarding Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown "aren't dead yet." The Eagles' asking price for Brown is "still very high," and it's unclear if anything changes on that front after New England signed former Green Bay Packers wideout Romeo Doubs to a four-year deal on Tuesday. Right now, there isn't much common ground between the Patriots and Eagles on any potential deal for the 28-year-old Brown. Doubs goes a long way to help replace veteran Stefon Diggs, who was released recently, but it wouldn't be a surprise if the Patriots still want an alpha No. 1 receiver like Brown. The three-time Pro Bowler had his fourth straight 1,000-yard season with the Eagles in 2025, although he wasn't happy with his role in the offense, and he had a career-low 12.9 yards per catch in his seventh year in the league.

Cowboys Restructure Kenny Clark's Contract
The Dallas Cowboys restructured defensive tackle Kenny Clark's deal on Tuesday, turning his $11 million roster bonus due next week into a signing bonus to open up around $8.8 million in salary cap space for this year, sources told Todd Archer of ESPN. The Cowboys acquired Clark and two first-round picks last year from the Green Bay Packers in exchange for All-Pro pass-rusher Micah Parsons (knee). In his first year in Dallas, the 30-year-old veteran and three-time Pro Bowler had 36 tackles (17 solo), three sacks, six tackles for loss, and nine QB hits in 17 starts. The Cowboys haven't really made a big splash in free agency yet this week, but their restructuring of Clark's contract could be a sign that they are about to do something. They were interested in trading for All-Pro pass-rusher Maxx Crosby before he was dealt to the Ravens, and they've been connected to impending free-agent pass-rusher Trey Hendrickson as well.

Bobby Portis Uncertain to Play on Tuesday
Milwaukee Bucks forward Bobby Portis (back) was added to the team's injury report as questionable with a back contusion for Tuesday night's home game against the Suns. Portis has scored at least 12 points in six straight games and is coming off a big 18-point, 10-rebound double-double on Sunday. Since Jericho Sims (knee) and Taurean Prince (neck) are also questionable, there could be large workloads available for Kyle Kuzma and Pete Nance. If Prince is able to play, his minutes will likely be minimal since he has not played since Nov. 4.

Simone Fontecchio Will Be Available Tuesday Against the Wizards
Miami Heat forward Simone Fontecchio (groin) is ready to return from a three-game absence and will be back in action after being upgraded from probable to available. He could step right into a large role in a smash spot against the Washington Wizards. Kel'el Ware (shoulder), Norman Powell (groin), Andrew Wiggins (toe), and Nikola Jovic (back) are all out, and Tyler Herro (quad) is questionable. Fontecchio could fill in at forward and brings lots of offensive upside. He had 12 points in 20 minutes in his most recent game last Tuesday, and he could be in a similar role in this contest, depending on who else is available or out for Miami.

Bills Have Reached Out to Trey Hendrickson
The Buffalo Bills have reached out to pass-rusher Trey Hendrickson, a source told Ryan Talbot of Syracuse.com. Plenty of other teams around the league are in the mix for Hendrickson as well, who is expected to walk away from the Cincinnati Bengals in free agency this offseason. Despite playing in only seven games last year and having season-ending core-muscle surgery, the 31-year-old All-Pro defensive end is the top name available on the market after back-to-back 17.5-sack seasons for the Bengals in 2023 and 2024. Hendrickson has every right to think that he deserves somewhere between $30 million and $40 million per season, but ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that so far, no team has been willing to meet his asking price. Teams are probably hesitant to dole out that much cash for a player on the wrong side of 30 coming off surgery. The Cowboys are another team that has been connected to Hendrickson. UPDATE: Hendrickson has offers on the table and will decide on Wednesday, according to The Athletic's Dianna Russini.

Kel'el Ware Ruled Out for Tuesday Against Washington
Miami Heat center Kel'el Ware (shoulder) was ruled out after being listed as questionable for Tuesday's matchup against the Wizards. Ware is dealing with a shoulder strain and will miss his first game since Jan. 25. Without him, Andrew Wiggins (toe) and Nikola Jovic (back) on Tuesday, Bam Adebayo will have to play heavy minutes at center with Vladislav Goldin as the only other true center available. That should open up more time for Simone Fontecchio, Jaime Jaquez, and Myron Gardner at forward. Jaquez logged 29 minutes in the team's last game against Detroit, producing 19 points, six rebounds, and seven assists, while Gardner started but played just 17 minutes with four points and six rebounds.
