New York Knicks guard
Landry Shamet (knee) will miss a third consecutive game on Thursday against the Charlotte Hornets. The veteran hurt his right knee last week, and it might take a bit of time until Shamet is ready to play again. In the meantime,
Jordan Clarkson and
Jose Alvarado have a chance to make a bigger impact in the rotation. Of the two, Clarkson has performed better in recent games, coming off a 10-point, five-assist outing against the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday night.

A fourth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Tennessee Titans tight end
Gunnar Helm recorded 44 receptions for 357 yards and two touchdowns on 55 targets. While the 23-year-old's numbers may not leap off the page, he established himself as a relatively steady contributor in a Titans offense that was starved for playmakers. Heading into 2026, Helm looks like the clear lead tight end in Tennessee after the team's decision to let former tight end
Chig Okonkwo walk in free agency. In 2025, Helm and Okonkwo combined for 100 receptions, 917 receiving yards, and six touchdowns on 134 targets. While Helm will not absorb all of Okonkwo's production, he has a clear pathway to fantasy upside. In dynasty formats, fantasy managers may want to consider buying low on Helm ahead of the 2026 season.

Portland Trail Blazers guard/forward
Vit Krejci (calf) won't be part of the action on Wednesday night against the Milwaukee Bucks. He will sit out a sixth consecutive game due to a left calf contusion. Portland initially listed Krejci as questionable for the contest, so his return looks to be close and might happen later this week. The Trail Blazers will return to action on Friday against the Dallas Mavericks. Krejci has averaged 7.4 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 1.8 assists in 19.9 minutes since joining the team from Atlanta on Feb. 1.

Denver Nuggets forward
Peyton Watson (hamstring) will play on Wednesday against the Dallas Mavericks. Late last week, Watson returned from a hamstring injury, and Denver decided not to use him on Tuesday when the team kicked off a back-to-back with a victory over Phoenix. Watson's return aligns with
Aaron Gordon's (hamstring) exit. He will help cover for his absence, along with
Spencer Jones and
Cameron Johnson. Despite missing six weeks, Watson was in fine form on Sunday against Portland, notching 14 points, six rebounds, and three assists in 20 minutes.

Across 12 games in 2025, Buffalo Bills tight end
Dalton Kincaid hauled in 39 receptions for 571 yards and five touchdowns on 49 targets. While the 26-year-old's averages of 14.6 yards per reception and 11.7 yards per target both represented career bests, volume continues to be a problem for Kincaid's fantasy profile. For one, Kincaid has missed nine games over the past two seasons due to hamstring, oblique, and knee injuries. Even when on the field in that stretch, Kincaid has averaged under five targets per game. In 2025, Kincaid played fewer than 50% of Buffalo's offensive snaps in 10 out of the 12 games he was active for. In 2026, Kincaid could fall even further down the team's target pecking order following the Bills' offseason trade acquisition of former Chicago Bears wide receiver
DJ Moore. In dynasty formats, Kincaid's stock is fading due to persistent injury and usage question marks.

March 25, 2026
Denver Nuggets forward/center
Aaron Gordon (hamstring) has been ruled out for the second leg of a back-to-back on Wednesday night against the Dallas Mavericks. He carried a questionable tag on the initial injury report. Gordon hasn't played in both games of a back-to-back set since January, so his absence was expected against Dallas.
Peyton Watson (hamstring) sat out Tuesday's win over Phoenix and will be Gordon's natural replacement in the lineup.

March 25, 2026
Toronto Raptors center
Jakob Poeltl (back) will suit up on Wednesday night against the Los Angeles Clippers, Law Murray of The Athletic reports. The Austrian big man has shaken off a questionable tag and will return from a one-game absence. As a result,
Sandro Mamukelashvili will land back on the bench, while
Collin Murray-Boyles' fantasy potential will also be limited. Poeltl has averaged 11.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 1.2 blocks in 26.5 minutes since the All-Star break.
--Taavi PailkSource: Law Murray
March 25, 2026
Chicago Bears tight end
Colston Loveland got off to a slow start to his NFL career in 2025, recording just 11 receptions over his first six games played. However, the 21-year-old finished the year on a tear. Across his final 10 games played, Loveland hauled in 47 catches for 597 yards and six touchdowns on 64 targets. Loveland also recorded 193 receiving yards and was targeted 25 times across Chicago's two postseason contests. While the Bears have multiple capable pass catchers in wide receivers
Rome Odunze and
Luther Burden III, the team recently traded away veteran wideout
DJ Moore. Without Moore, Loveland should only be moving up the target pecking order in Chicago. Loveland profiles as a high-end dynasty tight end coming off his encouraging rookie campaign.
--Will BradySource: RotoBaller
March 25, 2026
Toronto Raptors guard
Immanuel Quickley (foot) will remain out for a second consecutive game on Wednesday against the Los Angeles Clippers, Law Murray of The Athletic reports. The explosive guard is dealing with right foot plantar fasciitis and was downgraded from questionable to doubtful in the afternoon.
Jamal Shead replaced Quickley in the starting unit on Monday against Utah and is likely to get the nod again. As a starter, Shead has recorded 12.1 points, 2.4 rebounds, 8.4 assists, and 1.0 steals per game this season.
--Taavi PailkSource: Law Murray
March 25, 2026
Toronto Raptors guard/forward
Brandon Ingram (heel) will return from a one-game absence on Wednesday against the Los Angeles Clippers, Law Murray of The Athletic reports. He sat out Monday's win over Utah due to inflammation in his right heel. Meanwhile, Toronto has ruled
Immanuel Quickley (foot) out for a second consecutive game, meaning Ingram could have extra offensive duties on Wednesday night. With Ingram back,
Ja'Kobe Walter will drop to the bench, but he should remain a significant piece of the rotation.
--Taavi PailkSource: Law Murray
March 25, 2026
Across 16 games in 2025, Buffalo Bills wide receiver
Khalil Shakir recorded 72 receptions for 719 yards and four touchdowns on 95 targets. The 26-year-old has emerged as a steady contributor in Buffalo in recent years, recording back-to-back seasons as the team leader in both targets and receiving yards. However, Shakir's role could be slightly minimized in 2026 following the team's recent acquisition of former Chicago Bears wide receiver
DJ Moore. Shakir profiles more as a possession wideout than a downfield or red zone threat, so a reduction in his targets could further reduce his already middling fantasy production. RotoBaller currently ranks Shakir as the 56th-best wide receiver for dynasty formats.

March 25, 2026
Milwaukee Bucks center
Myles Turner (calf) will miss Wednesday's contest against the Portland Trail Blazers. He has been ruled out after the team added Turner to the injury report late with a questionable designation.
Bobby Portis (wrist) and
Kyle Kuzma (Achilles) also won't play, leaving the Bucks' frontcourt shorthanded.
Jericho Sims will likely take over from Turner as the starting center and may handle a heavy workload.
--Taavi PailkSource: NBA Injury Report
March 25, 2026
Milwaukee Bucks forwards
Bobby Portis (wrist) and
Kyle Kuzma (Achilles) won't play on Wednesday night against the Portland Trail Blazers. Kuzma will be sidelined for a second consecutive game, while Portis won't be able to help his team for the second time in three games. Without the duo,
Pete Nance,
Ousmane Dieng, and
Taurean Prince are in a position to receive more playing time on Wednesday night. Meanwhile,
Ryan Rollins and
Gary Trent Jr. will get more work on the offensive end.
--Taavi PailkSource: NBA Injury Report
March 25, 2026
Dallas Mavericks guard
Brandon Williams (concussion) will rejoin the lineup on Wednesday against the Denver Nuggets. He has missed three games due to a concussion. Williams has been an impactful bench piece for the Mavericks this season, averaging 12.8 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 3.8 assists in 22.0 minutes per game. Before being hurt on March 16 against New Orleans, Williams had scored 10-plus points in 14 consecutive outings.

March 25, 2026
Los Angeles Clippers forward
Kawhi Leonard (ankle) will be active on Wednesday night against the Toronto Raptors, Farbod Esnaashari of RTB Sports reports. He will make a third straight appearance despite dealing with a left ankle sprain. Leonard has been very effective this month, averaging 29.4 points, 5.9 rebounds, 3.4 assists, and 1.9 steals while shooting 54.3 percent from the field. He has scored at least 25 points in 10 consecutive appearances.
--Taavi PailkSource: Farbod Esnaashari
March 25, 2026
Dallas Mavericks center
Daniel Gafford (shoulder) has been ruled out for Wednesday's clash against the Denver Nuggets. He was initially listed as questionable due to a right shoulder sprain. The big man suffered the injury in Monday's loss to Golden State.
Marvin Bagley III and
Dwight Powell will move up on the depth chart on Wednesday night, with one of them starting in Gafford's place. Bagley is the better fantasy option, even if he will be part of the second unit.
--Taavi PailkSource: Dallas Mavericks PR
March 25, 2026
Portland Trail Blazers forward
Jerami Grant (foot) will play on Wednesday against the Milwaukee Bucks. The veteran has missed two games due to a sore left foot and was initially listed as questionable for Wednesday's contest. Grant's return will affect the playing time of
Sidy Cissoko and
Kris Murray. This month, Grant has been inconsistent, but he was on fire in his most recent outing, notching 26 points on 62.5 percent shooting against Minnesota. One of Grant's best offensive performances of the season was against Milwaukee earlier in the season when he had 35 points in 31 minutes.
--Taavi PailkSource: Danny Marang
March 25, 2026
Portland Trail Blazers center
Robert Williams III (knee) will play on Wednesday against the Milwaukee Bucks, Danny Marang of 1080 The Fan Portland reports. He missed the second game of a back-to-back on Monday against Brooklyn but has been cleared to return to the lineup on Wednesday. The team initially listed Williams III as questionable. Williams III will replace
Yang Hansen as
Donovan Clingan's backup. Despite coming off the bench, Williams III has averaged nearly a double-double this month, posting 9.0 points and 9.4 rebounds per game.

March 25, 2026
New Orleans Pelicans guard/forward
Trey Murphy III (ankle) is listed as questionable on the injury report ahead of the first leg of a back-to-back on Thursday against the Detroit Pistons. He is nursing a right ankle sprain and might miss his first game of the month.
Dejounte Murray (Achilles) is also questionable for Thursday's game, so the Pelicans could be without two of their leading players.
Jeremiah Fears and
Yves Missi will take on larger workloads if New Orleans isn't at full strength, while
Jordan Poole may also re-enter the rotation.
--Taavi PailkSource: NBA Injury Report
March 25, 2026
New Orleans Pelicans guard
Dejounte Murray (Achilles) is questionable for Thursday's clash against the Detroit Pistons. The Pelicans enter a back-to-back and are set to sit Murray for at least one of the games. They will face the Toronto Raptors on Friday. Murray has bounced back well from an awful Achilles injury, averaging 17.6 points, 5.1 rebounds, 6.7 assists, and 1.5 steals across 11 appearances this season.
Jeremiah Fears and
Yves Missi are set to have more prominent roles on Thursday if Murray doesn't play.

As long as he can stay healthy, Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Christian Watson will be a popular breakout candidate in fantasy football in 2026 in his fifth year in the NFL. Watson has yet to play in more than 15 games in a season due to injuries since being drafted in the second round in 2022 out of North Dakota State. The 26-year-old played in just 10 regular-season games in 2025 after recovering from a torn ACL that he suffered late in 2024, but he still ended up being a top-50 fantasy wideout. Watson excelled as a top playmaker for Green Bay upon his return from Injured Reserve, catching 35 of his 55 targets for 611 yards and six touchdowns. He finished second on the team in catches, targets, and receiving yards to
Romeo Doubs, who is now in New England. Tight end
Tucker Kraft (knee) will be returning from a torn ACL, and second-year wideout
Matthew Golden will have a bigger role, but all signs point to Watson being the projected clear receiving leader in 2026 if he's healthy. Watson's big-play ability (17.0 yards per catch in his career) will make him a high-risk/high-reward WR2 in fantasy drafts later this year.

Sacramento Kings point guard
Russell Westbrook (toe) will be out indefinitely, the team announced on Wednesday. An MRI has revealed Westbrook is dealing with irritation in the joint of the first toe on his right foot. He will sit out a third consecutive game on Thursday against the Orlando Magic.
Malik Monk,
Devin Carter, and
Killian Hayes (toe) will have expanded roles until Westbrook returns, though Hayes is also currently dealing with a toe injury. Carter led Sacramento's starters in scoring with 18 points during Tuesday's loss to Charlotte, while Monk had a game-high 14 assists.

March 25, 2026
Pittsburgh Steelers tight end
Pat Freiermuth's dynasty/keeper fantasy value is on the rise with
Jonnu Smith no longer in town, but there's also the looming question this offseason surrounding the team's quarterback situation. Freiermuth put up a career-high 65 receptions for 653 yards and a career-high seven touchdowns on 78 targets in 17 regular-season games in 2024, but he fell to a disappointing 41-486-4 line in 17 regular-season games with Smith in town in 2025. For fantasy football purposes, the 27-year-old was the TE24 in half-PPR scoring in his fifth year in the NFL. As long as veteran
Aaron Rodgers returns for another season in the Steel City, Freiermuth will have clear bounce-back potential with a higher target floor in what should be a more pass-happy offense under new head coach Mike McCarthy. The recent addition of receiver
Michael Pittman Jr. creates additional target competition for the former second-round selection in 2021 out of Penn State.
--Keith HernandezSource: Pro Football Reference
March 25, 2026
Utah Jazz guard
Cody Williams (shoulder) is upgraded to available ahead of Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards. The second-year guard is back in the mix after missing Monday's game due to right shoulder soreness. Williams has been posting better numbers lately with a larger role in the rotation. He's averaging 16.2 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 4.6 assists across 35.0 minutes per game over his last nine contests. His value is certainly on the rise with the Jazz focused on playing their younger players down the stretch of the season. Fantasy managers in need of a streaming option should take a look at Williams.

March 25, 2026
Memphis Grizzlies guard
Jahmai Mashack (ankle) has been downgraded from questionable to out for Wednesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. Maschack had some strong performances earlier this month, but unfortunately, he won't be available for a fifth consecutive game due to an ankle injury. His absence has opened up 26 minutes in the rotation, which will be absorbed by the rest of the bench. Memphis' reserve will also benefit from the absences of
Ty Jerome (ankle) and
Jaylen Wells (toe) on Wednesday.
--Taavi PailkSource: NBA Injury Report
March 25, 2026
Chicago Bulls forward/center
Jalen Smith (calf) won't return to Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Smith only played six minutes before suffering a right calf injury. The Bulls will play it safe and hold out Smith for the rest of Wednesday's game. This has been an ongoing issue for Smith throughout the season. It wouldn't be shocking if this injury causes him to miss more time.
Guerschon Yabusele and
Nick Richards should see larger roles in the rotation. Between the two, Richards has been the better fantasy option lately. He could offer some decent streaming appeal if Smith has a multiple-game absence.
--Andy WebbSource: K.C. Johnson
March 25, 2026
Memphis Grizzlies guard
Javon Small (back) will play on Wednesday against the San Antonio Spurs. He wasn't available for Monday's matchup with Atlanta and was initially listed as questionable for Wednesday's game. Small has played well in recent weeks, and
Ty Jerome's (ankle) absence on Wednesday night further increases his fantasy appeal. In March, Small has averaged 13.1 points, 4.6 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and 1.1 steals.

March 25, 2026
The San Diego Padres announced on Wednesday that they have placed right-hander
Yu Darvish (elbow) on the restricted list. Darvish will miss the entire 2026 season after having UCL surgery on his right elbow last November. While he ponders whether he'll try to continue his playing career in 2027, putting him on the restricted list will allow the Padres to free up significant payroll for this year. The 39-year-old native of Japan is nearing the end of his illustrious major-league career, which began in 2012 with the Texas Rangers. Darvish is a five-time All-Star with 2,075 career strikeouts in 13 seasons with four different teams. Since the start of the 2024 season, though, he has only made 31 total starts for the Friars, going 12-8 with a 4.28 ERA and 1.12 WHIP, 146 strikeouts, and 41 walks in 153 2/3 innings. Even if Darvish decides to return for his age-40 season in 2027, he'll be hard to trust in fantasy baseball after major elbow surgery. We wouldn't recommend stashing Darvish in dynasty/keeper leagues.
--Keith HernandezSource: San Diego Padres
March 25, 2026
Utah Jazz forward/center
Kyle Filipowski (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's contest against the Washington Wizards. He was previously listed as doubtful, so his ultimate absence shouldn't surprise fantasy managers. The loss of Filipowski should mean larger roles in the rotation for
Oscar Tshiebwe and
Kevin Love. Between the two big men, Tshiebwe is the better streaming choice for Wednesday's slate. Love is barely seeing time on the court, while Tshiebwe has a regular role in the rotation. Filipowski figures to be back for Friday's game, but fantasy managers should check back for another update.
--Andy WebbSource: NBA Injury Report
March 25, 2026
Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward
Ayo Dosunmu (calf) has been ruled out for Wednesday's encounter with the Houston Rockets. The team has downgraded him from questionable to out, meaning Minnesota has lost another key contributor. Dosunmu has recently enjoyed a strong stretch, filling in for
Anthony Edwards (knee) in the starting lineup.
Bones Hyland has also seen increased playing time due to Edwards' absence, and he could now take on additional responsibilities as the next man up in the first unit. Meanwhile, Minnesota may reintroduce
Mike Conley into the rotation because of the backcourt injuries.
