Giants Sign Fullback Patrick Ricard
The New York Giants have signed free-agent fullback Patrick Ricard, according to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network. Ricard is the latest ex-Ravens player to follow head coach John Harbaugh from Baltimore to New York. The 31-year-old University of Maine product spent his first nine NFL seasons with the Ravens, and he was named a Pro Bowler in six of the last seven years. Most of his contributions came as a blocker for Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry in 2025, but he did hold the football from time to time with two touches and 11 total scrimmage yards. He also has a little bit of experience on the defensive line, but he hasn't registered a tackle since 2022, so it's safe to say that most of his value comes in blocking assignments on offense. We already know he fits Harbaugh's scheme nicely, and now, we'll get to see what he can do in an up-and-coming offense anchored by young quarterback Jaxson Dart and physical running back Cam Skattebo (ankle).

Eagles Agree to a One-Year Deal With Johnny Mundt
The Philadelphia Eagles have signed tight end Johnny Mundt to a one-year deal, according to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network. Mundt is primarily known for his blocking, as he caught just nine passes and scored zero touchdowns across 16 games with the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2025. Released by the Jaguars last week, Mundt possesses nine years of NFL experience with stops in Los Angeles (Rams), Minnesota, and Jacksonville. He'll offer much-needed depth for the Eagles, who entered this offseason with their top three tight ends slated for free agency. Philadelphia already re-signed Grant Calcaterra, but Dallas Goedert and Kylen Granson are still unrestricted free agents. If neither Goedert nor Granson returns, Mundt would slot in as the team's No. 2 tight end, at least for the time being. Even so, his proficiency as a blocker limits his receiving upside and keeps him off the fantasy radar in most leagues.

Blake Snell Progresses to Throwing Off of a Mound
Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Blake Snell (shoulder) is "taking the next steps" in his throwing progression and threw off the mound to a standing catcher on Monday, per David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports. Snell is unlikely to be ready for Opening Day, as the team is slow-playing his Spring buildup after he missed significant time in 2025 due to shoulder issues. However, it appears as though the 33-year-old is on track with the progression that the team has laid out for him. When healthy, Snell is one of the best pitchers in baseball. Across 1,158 career big league innings (222 starts), the veteran left-hander owns a 3.15 ERA, 1.22 WHIP, 1,440 strikeouts, and two Cy Young Awards. However, Snell has thrown more than 128 2/3 innings just once since 2019 and seems likely to miss a chunk of time in 2026 as well. He profiles as a high-risk, high-reward fantasy SP3 heading into his second campaign with the Dodgers.

LeBron James Remains Out Tuesday vs. Minnesota
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (hip) will miss Tuesday's matchup against the Timberwolves, marking his third straight absence while dealing with a right hip contusion and arthritis in his left foot. With the 41-year-old sidelined, Rui Hachimura should continue to handle heavier minutes after starting and logging 37 minutes with 13 points, three three-pointers, seven rebounds, and two assists in the win over the Knicks. Jarred Vanderbilt could also see a slight uptick after posting three points, two rebounds, one assist, and one block in 11 minutes last game. Hachimura is the safer play for fantasy managers, while Vanderbilt is more of a deep-league gamble.

Jose Berrios Joining Team Puerto Rico for the Remainder of WBC
Team Puerto Rico manager Yadier Molina said that Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Jose Berrios has received clearance to join the Puerto Rican team for the remainder of the World Baseball Classic, per Shi Davidi of Sportsnet. Puerto Rico has already secured a spot in the tournament quarterfinals, which begin on Friday. Across 166 innings (31 games) in 2025, Berrios posted a 9-5 record with a 4.17 ERA, 1.30 WHIP, and 138 strikeouts. The 31-year-old reportedly dealt with a biceps tendon issue down the stretch of 2025 and was left off Toronto's postseason roster during its run to the World Series. However, Berrios has said he is fully healthy heading into 2026 and will have a chance to prove he is on the path to a bounce-back season at the WBC. The Blue Jays have enough pitching depth to potentially move Berrios out of the starting rotation if he struggles again this season, making him a risky starting pitcher option for fantasy managers.

Draymond Green Will Play Tuesday vs. Bulls
Golden State Warriors forward/center Draymond Green (back) will play Tuesday against the Bulls after previously being listed with lower back injury management. The veteran has produced modest but steady lines recently, averaging 8.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, 7.2 assists, and 1.6 three-pointers over his last five games while logging about 31 minutes per night. Green's value remains tied to assists and defensive production rather than scoring, making him more useful in category formats than points leagues. His return also tightens the frontcourt rotation, likely capping the minutes ceiling for Kristaps Porzingis, Al Horford, and Gui Santos.

De'Anthony Melton Scratched From Tuesday's Lineup
Golden State Warriors guard De'Anthony Melton (thigh) is out for Tuesday's matchup against the Bulls after the team initially considered using him in the second leg of the back-to-back. With Melton and Moses Moody (wrist) unavailable, Golden State should spread extra wing minutes across Gary Payton II, Will Richard, and reserve guard Pat Spencer. Payton logged 13 points, one three-pointer, one rebound, and one steal in 26 minutes in the loss to Utah, while Richard previously flashed upside with 21 points, two triples, five rebounds, six assists, and three steals in a February start. Spencer added four rebounds, two assists, and one steal in 13 minutes last game. All three are risky deep-league streamers since their minutes could swing from night to night.

Trey Yesavage Scheduled to Pitch in Minor-League Game on Wednesday
Toronto Blue Jays manager John Schneider said that starting pitcher Trey Yesavage will pitch in a Minor League game at the team's Spring Training complex on Wednesday, per Keegan Matheson of MLB.com. Matheson reports that the plan is for Yesavage to pitch two innings, and that may make two additional Spring Training starts following his outing on Wednesday. Toronto is carefully managing Yesavage's workload after he threw 139 2/3 innings (including Minor League and postseason action) in 2025. Yesavage was a key piece of the Blue Jays' run to the World Series last season, posting a 35.8% strikeout rate and a 1.05 WHIP across 27 2/3 postseason innings. While the young righty's long-term upside appears to be sky-high, Toronto's apparent desire to hold him back from a full starter's workload may limit his 2026 fantasy value. Yesavage profiles as a high-ceiling, low-floor number three fantasy starter as Opening Day approaches.

Merrill Kelly Set to Make Spring Training Debut on Friday
Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Merrill Kelly (back) is set to make the start in his team's spring training game on Friday against the Kansas City Royals, per Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports. Kelly was sidelined early in camp with a back injury, but he was able to make it through a live batting practice session this past Sunday and appears on track to progress to game action. The 37-year-old may not be fully built up to his normal pitch count in his first start or two of the season, but he should have a chance to be ready for Opening Day barring any setbacks. Across 184 innings (32 starts) split between the Diamondbacks and Texas Rangers in 2025, Kelly posted a 12-9 record with a 3.52 ERA, 1.11 WHIP, and 167 strikeouts. He is locked into a rotation spot in Arizona and projects as a quality late-round innings eater for fantasy managers.

Francisco Lindor "100 Percent Optimistic" he Can be Ready for Opening Day
New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor (hand) played four innings on defense in a minor-league spring training game on Tuesday, per Anthony DiComo of MLB.com. Lindor is just under a month removed from surgery to repair a stress reaction in his left hamate bone. While the 32-year-old was able to play the field in a game, he has yet to progress to taking live at-bats. Per DiComo, Lindor said he is "100% optimistic" that he has a chance to be ready for Opening Day, although the veteran shortstop did not fully commit to a specific return date. Lindor has recorded four consecutive seasons with at least 680 plate appearances, so it would not be a surprise if he's able to make a quick recovery from surgery and avoid an early-season stint on the Injured List.

Ravens Back Out of Trade for Maxx Crosby
The Las Vegas Raiders announced on Tuesday that the Baltimore Ravens "have backed out of our trade agreement" for All-Pro pass-rusher Maxx Crosby (knee), according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. The Ravens agreed last Friday to send a first-rounder in 2026 and a first-round draft pick in 2027 to the Raiders for Crosby. Apparently, the Ravens saw something in the 28-year-old's medicals that they didn't like. Remember, the Raiders shut Crosby down (against his wishes) for the final two games of the 2025 season, and he eventually had meniscus surgery in January. It's very possible that Crosby still isn't fully healed, and the Ravens got spooked. For now, Crosby, who remains under contract in Vegas, will return to the Raiders. It's unclear if they will attempt to trade him to another team or if Crosby's price will go down after the failed trade attempt with Baltimore.

Jakob Poeltl is Unavailable on Tuesday
Toronto Raptors center Jakob Poeltl (illness) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Houston Rockets. This is tough news for the Raptors, with Collin Murray-Boyles (thumb) also sidelined. Fantasy managers will need to check back on Wednesday to see if Poeltl can return for the second leg of the back-to-back set. Sandro Mamukelashvili should take on a heavier role with Poeltl out for this game. He's worth a look as a streaming option in most fantasy formats while the Raptors are shorthanded. Jonathan Mogbo could see increased minutes as well, but Mamukelashvili is the primary add here.

Packers Sign Skyy Moore to One-Year Deal
The Green Bay Packers signed former San Francisco 49ers wide receiver/returner Skyy Moore to an undisclosed one-year deal on Tuesday, sources told Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports. Moore averaged 27.5 yards per kick return and 11.6 yards per punt return last year with San Francisco. On offense, the 25-year-old former second-round pick (54th overall) by the Kansas City Chiefs in 2022 out of Western Michigan only caught five of seven targets for 87 yards in 17 regular-season games. Moore didn't do a ton in his first three years with the Chiefs on offense, either, contributing just 43 receptions on 74 targets for 494 yards and one touchdown in 36 games (11 starts). More than anything else, Moore will give the Packers a boost on special teams as a return man. In fantasy football, however, he should continue to be ignored across the board.

Grayson Allen to Play on Tuesday
Phoenix Suns guard Grayson Allen (knee) is available to play ahead of Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Allen is back in the mix after sitting out Sunday's game due to a knee injury. His absence could've been for rest purposes with Allen playing heavy minutes lately. His return to the rotation should mean a reduced role for Haywood Highsmith. Allen has been a solid source of points since returning from injury in late February. Fantasy managers can get him active in their lineups ahead of tip-off.

Jason Sanders Signs One-Year Deal to Join Giants
Former Miami Dolphins kicker Jason Sanders signed an undisclosed one-year deal with the New York Giants on Tuesday, a source told Adam Schefter of ESPN. Sanders missed all of the 2025 season due to a hip injury and was released by Miami. The 30-year-old veteran will now head to the NFC East, where he could quickly become a valuable kicker in fantasy if he's fully healthy in a Giants offense with all kinds of explosive weapons. Sanders has made 84.6% of his 221 career field-goal attempts (33-for-48 from 50-plus yards) in his seven years in the NFL. The former seventh-round pick in 2018 out of New Mexico went 37-for-41 on field goals (12-for-14 from 50-plus yards) and 26-for-28 on extra-point attempts in 17 games in his last healthy season in 2024. Sanders will be firmly in sleeper territory at the kicking position if he wins the Giants' placekicker job.

Day'Ron Sharpe is Sitting Out on Tuesday
Brooklyn Nets center Day'Ron Sharpe (thumb) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Sharpe will make his first absence since mid-January while he deals with a thumb sprain. Nicolas Claxton could see an increased role as the starting center without Sharpe available. Also, Danny Wolf and Ochai Agbaji are likely to see more minutes during Tuesday's game. Claxton is the best fantasy option here, but Wolf and Agbaji are decent streaming choices with Sharpe and Ziaire Williams (illness) out.

Teddy Bridgewater Returning to Detroit as Backup QB
Veteran free-agent quarterback Teddy Bridgewater is signing an undisclosed deal with the Detroit Lions on Tuesday, according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. Bridgewater will return to Motown after serving as Jared Goff's backup in 2023 and 2024. The 33-year-old 11-year NFL veteran hasn't started a game since 2022 with the Miami Dolphins and has gone 8-for-15 passing for 62 yards in five appearances over the last three seasons. Bridgewater was the backup to Baker Mayfield with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2025. The former first-round pick by the Minnesota Vikings in 2014 out of Louisville has plenty of experience in the league, but the Lions' offense will have very limited upside if Goff gets injured and Bridgewater is forced into a starting role. He's completed 66.3% of his 2,082 pass attempts in his career since entering the league in 2014.

Bobby Portis is Ruled Out on Tuesday
Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Bobby Portis (back) is ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He wasn't on the initial injury report, but will ultimately sit out due to a back contusion. The Bucks are going to be thin at the center spot with Jericho Sims (knee) also sidelined. The absence of these two should mean Pete Nance will fill in as the primary backup to Myles Turner. Nance finished with six points, three rebounds, and two steals across 22 minutes on Sunday. He'll offer some deep league value with the Bucks being shorthanded on Tuesday.

Cardinals Haven't Told Jacoby Brissett he's the Starting QB
If the Arizona Cardinals plan to start veteran quarterback Jacoby Brissett again in 2026, they "have yet to make him aware of those plans," according to Josh Weinfuss of ESPN. The Cardinals have not told Brissett that he will be their starting QB in 2026, according to a source. He is still under contract for this year and is scheduled to make $4.88 million. Arizona has moved on from former first overall pick Kyler Murray (foot), and they signed veteran Gardner Minshew to a one-year deal on Monday, but Brissett is expected to remain under center after impressing in 2025. The 33-year-old became an unlikely QB streamer in fantasy football after taking over the Cardinals offense in Week 6, ultimately finishing with a career-best 3,366 passing yards, 23 touchdowns, and eight interceptions in 14 games (12 starts). New head coach Mike LaFleur will likely make the Cardinals offense more balanced in 2026, though, making it more unlikely that Brissett will have the kind of upside he had in 2025.

Justin Thomas Continues Competitive Return at The Players Championship
It was a week to forget at Bay Hill for Justin Thomas, who was playing in his first start since having back surgery over the offseason. The former Tide golfer lost an average of 2 or more strokes off the tee, on approach, and putting over his two-round stint, posting back-to-back rounds of 79 to miss the cut by a handsome margin. It was really the type of week that was expected, as it's difficult to prepare for the beast of Arnie's place coming off the bench. TPC Sawgrass is another demanding test that won't be kind to the 32-year-old. It's doubtful that anyone has plans to utilize him in DFS after last week's display, but in case anyone is still trying to talk themselves into it... Don't.

Brooklyn Nets forward Michael Porter Jr. (rest) is back in the mix ahead of Tuesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Porter is returning to the rotation after sitting out Monday's game for rest purposes. Over his last 10 games, Porter is averaging 21.5 points, 7.1 rebounds, and 2.7 assists across 31.5 minutes per game. Porter has scored nearly 50 total points with 26 rebounds over his last two games. Fantasy managers should double-check their lineups and make sure he's in there ahead of tip-off. The return of Porter should mean reduced roles for Danny Wolf and possibly Ochai Agbaji.

The absence of Pritchard should open up playing time for Baylor Scheierman, Huge Gonzalez, and Sam Hauser. Scheierman is coming off a solid double-double performance during Sunday's game. He's worth a look as a streaming choice without Pritchard available. Also, Hauser has been a consistent contributor and is worth a look as well for fantasy managers seeking help ahead of Tuesday's slate.

Scottie Scheffler Looking to Win Third Players Championship in Four Years
It could be a more difficult row to hoe for Scottie Scheffler this year at TPC Sawgrass, after losing strokes on approach this past week at Bay Hill for the first time in 28 starts. For anyone counting, that tournament stretch goes back to 2024. No matter how sure of someone's game we are, this sport and the performance of players ebb and flow. Scheffler didn't rise to this superstardom overnight; he shouldn't fall from it that fast either. And the unfathomable consistency might be waning, but it isn't moving his DFS value back into the normal realm yet. He's undoubtedly been the best player at this week's venue and has the overall skillset to still be a force here without his best ball striking. For Scheffler truthers, keep holding down the fort.

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (finger) is set to miss significant time after suffering an injury during Saturday's game. Maxey has been diagnosed with a tendon injury in his right pinky finger. The superstar guard will be shut down and re-evaluated in three weeks. The plan is for Maxey to be re-evaluated on March 31, so fantasy managers won't have him through much of the fantasy playoffs. VJ Edgecombe should move into the starting point guard role with Maxey sidelined. Edgecombe should be rostered and started in basically all fantasy formats, while Cameron Payne could offer deep league value as his backup.

Collin Morikawa a Smash Play at This Week's Players Championship
Anyone who's watched golf over the last month likely already knows, but Collin Morikawa is perhaps the hottest current player on the PGA Tour, with a solo fifth and a T7 following his win at Pebble Beach. He has been destroying fields with his irons, averaging +1.76 strokes gained on approach over that three-event span. What's more impressive is the putting stats that have continually improved week-to-week this year, topping out at +0.88 strokes gained average last week at Bay Hill. Morikawa is undoubtedly the type of player who should be able to manufacture a great week at TPC Sawgrass. It's happened a few times already in his career, but if this is the year he breaks through to win, no one should be surprised.

Shane Lowry Looking for Bounce-Back Week at TPC Sawgrass
There aren't many players who can consistently show up at The Players Championship, but Shane Lowry is on the short list of names that have done that over the last five seasons. The Irishman has found his way inside the top 20 at this golf course four out of the last five years. It's been through a staggering strokes gained on approach effort, averaging +1.343 over his last 20 rounds. Judging by his missed cut last week at the API, another place that he's flourished, it's easy to assume he's still beside himself after what we saw a couple of weeks ago at PGA National. He'll get over that pain eventually, and a Player's trophy probably tickles his fancy more anyway. Play Lowry with hope this week.

Russell Henley Needs His Whole Game to Show Up at The Players Championship
It has quietly been a really good start to 2026 for Russell Henley. He hasn't been a serious part of any conversation week to week, but has only slipped outside of the top 20 on any leaderboard in his first five starts. He's been a DFS darling, but there have been significant shortcomings almost every week that have kept him from really breaking out. For the last three, it's been his iron play, and his chipping and putting before that. Henley has become one of the most well-rounded players on the PGA Tour, and eventually, everything is going to align. His tournament history at TPC Sawgrass isn't great, but there are plenty of past champions with similar resumes. If he can start finding his way on approach, look for a career-best week at The Stadium Course.
