Nico Echavarria keeps trying to play through the consistency issues. The Colombian golfer shows flashes of brilliance combined with calamitous results. Echavarria has two top 10 efforts including a win at the Cognizant Classic. When he is on, he is on. Pebble Beach showed his ability to avoid bogeys and missed shots. Numbers are all over the place when it comes to the golfer but he has gained 1.81 strokes putting over the previous two PGA events. Working around the greens has been more erratic with Echavarria not excelling at sand saves and scrambling (170th and 139th respectively). TPC Sawgrass is famous for the inevitable bunker shots and chip shots as much as the 17th hole. Echavarria might be too volatile from a DFS standpoint.

Miami Heat forward
Andrew Wiggins (toe) has been ruled out for Tuesday's encounter with the Washington Wizards. He is nursing a left big toe injury and will sit out a third consecutive contest. The Heat have used
Myron Gardner as Wiggins' replacement in the starting unit, but he hasn't had a big impact in games. Over the last two contests, Gardner has averaged 5.0 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 2.0 assists in 16.0 minutes. Wiggins will get his next chance to return on Thursday against the Milwaukee Bucks.

Ludvig Aberg did not have the best start to the 2026 season. The Swedish golfer had an injury impact his play but since the calendar turned to February, his form has returned. That culminated in a T-3 at the Arnold Palmer Invitational last week. Aberg has been closing well in events with a 67-66-67 over his past three final rounds. Driving distance is vital but the accuracy is key. Last week, Aberg was 15% more accurate compared to the rest of the field. At TPC Sawgrass, it is vital that the golfer avoid errant tee shots. This is something that holds Aberg back. Aberg is a solid betting wager if not for a win but at least a Top 10 or even Top 5.

Miami Heat guard/forward
Norman Powell (groin) will sit out a sixth consecutive game on Tuesday night against the Washington Wizards. He is on the shelf with a groin strain and remains without a timetable for his return.
Pelle Larsson,
Dru Smith, and
Jaime Jaquez Jr. have picked up more work during Powell's absence. Meanwhile,
Tyler Herro and
Bam Adebayo are responsible for most of the offense, especially with
Andrew Wiggins (toe) also out of the lineup. The Heat have a great fantasy matchup on Tuesday against a team that allows 120.5 points per 100 possessions.

Chicago Bulls guard
Collin Sexton (leg) is questionable to play on Tuesday night against the Golden State Warriors. He injured his left leg on Sunday against Sacramento and might be unavailable for the first time since making his Bulls debut on Feb. 7. Sexton has been a great fit in Chicago and led his team in scoring for four consecutive games. If Sexton can't play on Tuesday,
Rob Dillingham is expected to absorb many of his minutes, but he still isn't an appealing fantasy option, even with an expanded role.
--Taavi PailkSource: NBA Injury Report
March 10, 2026
Chicago Bulls forward
Matas Buzelis (ankle) is considered probable for Tuesday's matchup with the Golden State Warriors. The talented sophomore sprained his right ankle last week but missed only one game. He was back in action on Sunday against Sacramento, notching 20 points, eight rebounds, four assists, and three blocks. Buzelis has enjoyed a significantly larger role on offense during the second half of the season, scoring at least 20 points in four of his last five outings. He has also been a force on the glass, averaging 6.8 boards during that stretch.
--Taavi PailkSource: NBA Injury Report
March 10, 2026
Chicago Bulls point guard
Josh Giddey (ankle) is probable for Tuesday's contest against the Golden State Warriors. Giddey injured his right ankle last week, but he returned to the lineup on Sunday against Sacramento and appears ready to play on Tuesday night. Health issues have left a mark on Giddey's season, but he has looked like his usual self again in recent games. Over his last three appearances, Giddey has recorded two triple-doubles, averaging 16.3 points, 11.7 rebounds, and 9.7 assists.

March 10, 2026
Charlotte Hornets guard
Coby White (calf) won't be in the lineup on Tuesday against the Portland Trail Blazers. The explosive guard is managing a left calf injury and hasn't played in both games during a back-to-back set. He will likely rejoin the lineup on Wednesday night against the Sacramento Kings. Since moving to Charlotte, White has averaged 12.3 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 4.0 assists in 18.3 minutes.
Sion James and
Josh Green will split the available minutes on Tuesday night, but they aren't expected to have a major impact.

March 10, 2026
Indiana Pacers guard
Andrew Nembhard (back, neck) is listed as doubtful for Tuesday's matchup with the Sacramento Kings. Nembhard has recently played through back and neck issues, but all signs point to him sitting out Tuesday's action.
Pascal Siakam (knee) has already been ruled out for the game, so Indiana will likely be without its two offensive leaders. This will give players like
Jarace Walker,
Kobe Brown, and
Quenton Jackson a chance to make a bigger impact. Jackson and
Kam Jones are the candidates to fill in for Nembhard in the starting lineup.
--Taavi PailkSource: NBA Injury Report
March 10, 2026
Indiana Pacers forward
Pascal Siakam (knee) will sit out Tuesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Siakam recently missed time due to a wrist problem, and he's now on the injury report with a knee sprain. In Siakam's absence,
Kobe Brown could slide into the starting lineup. Additionally,
Jarace Walker is set to carry a heavier offensive load. In games played without Siakam this season, Walker has averaged 16.4 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 3.4 assists. His fantasy stock will rise further on Tuesday due to the opposition's lack of quality.

The Kansas City Chiefs are re-signing wide receiver
Tyquan Thornton to a two-year, $11 million deal that includes a maximum value of $14 million, according to Mike Garafolo of NFL.com. Thornton is a former second-round pick of the New England Patriots, but he joined the Chiefs prior to the 2025 season. Throughout the year, he caught 19 of his 37 targets for 438 yards and three touchdowns. These aren't otherworldly numbers, but he was consistent enough to both establish himself within the Chiefs' depth chart and also earn a new deal to come back for 2026 and beyond. Fantasy managers should temper expectations on Thornton, though, at least for the time being. He peaked at WR81 in PPR leagues (last year) and will have a tough time cracking the top 75 in both dynasty startup and redraft leagues during 2026.

The Tennessee Titans have signed free-agent cornerback Alontae Taylor to a three-year, $60 million contract that includes $42 million fully guaranteed, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. Taylor represents another major splash on the first day of the tampering window for the Titans, who also reportedly agreed to terms with wide receiver
Wan'Dale Robinson and defensive lineman
John Franklin-Myers. Across 16 games (15 starts) in 2025, Taylor racked up two interceptions, 11 passes defended, two sacks, and 83 tackles. It's exciting to see defensive-minded head coach Robert Saleh go out and invest so much money into the defense this early in March. Titans fans and fantasy managers should be excited about the team's 2026 defense with Franklin-Myers and Taylor already signed, and surely even more moves yet to come.

The Tennessee Titans have signed defensive lineman John Franklin-Myers to a three-year, $63 million contract, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL.com. Franklin-Myers was a fourth-round pick in 2018, and he has enjoyed breakout years with both the New York Jets and Denver Broncos. Most recently, in 2025, he was a Bronco, racking up 7.5 sacks and 25 tackles across 16 games (15 starts). He has a pre-existing connection to current Titans head coach Robert Saleh, who was also his head coach with the Jets. $21 million per year is a hefty payday for someone who has never tallied eight sacks in a single season, but he was reportedly the Titans' top target in free agency, and they had to beat out the San Francisco 49ers in a bidding war to get him.

Los Angeles Kings goaltender Anton Forsberg stopped 28 of 32 shots on goal in Monday's 5-4 overtime victory against the Blue Jackets. Forsberg received plenty of goal support in the contest to secure the two points for the Kings, who are just outside of the second wild-card spot in the Western Conference playoff race. Forsberg has posted an 11-9-5 record to go along with two shutouts, a 2.74 goals against average, and a .903 save percentage on the season, but he is mainly a streaming option for fantasy purposes.

The Washington Commanders have signed free-agent edge rusher Odafe Oweh to a four-year, $100 million contract that includes $68 million guaranteed, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. Oweh spent his first 4.5 NFL seasons with the Baltimore Ravens before being acquired by the Los Angeles Chargers during the 2025 regular season. He appeared in 17 games last year, amassing 7.5 sacks, 18 quarterback hits, and 38 tackles. Over the last two seasons combined, he has recorded 17.5 sacks. Oweh will provide a key pass-rushing presence within a Commanders' defense that previously lacked starpower. He'll be tasked with slowing down some of the talented quarterbacks in Washington's division, including
Dak Prescott,
Jalen Hurts, and
Jaxson Dart.

The Carolina Panthers have signed edge rusher Jaelan Phillips to a four-year, $120 million contract, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. Phillips is a former first-round pick who spent 4.5 years in Miami before being dealt to the Philadelphia Eagles at the 2025 trade deadline. He was healthy for all 17 games last season and made a career-high 17 starts while amassing five sacks, 14 quarterback hits, 53 tackles, and two fumble recoveries. Giving Phillips such a lucrative contract reaffirms Carolina's desire to invest in its defense, just a few months after winning the NFC South and being eliminated in the first round of the NFL playoffs. Phillips will immediately fill an impact role on defense as the Panthers look to slow down the likes of
Michael Penix Jr.,
Tyler Shough, and
Baker Mayfield within their own division.

The Las Vegas Raiders have made two key upgrades on defense, signing linebackers Quay Walker and Nakobe Dean, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL.com. Walker spent his first four NFL seasons in Green Bay, amassing 2.5 sacks and 128 total tackles in 2025. His new deal with Vegas pays him $40.5 million over three seasons, and it includes $28 million guaranteed. Meanwhile, Dean heads to the Raiders after four seasons in Philadelphia. Like Walker, he is also a member of the 2022 rookie linebacker class. He tallied 55 tackles and a career-high four sacks across 10 games (eight starts) in 2025. After a solid stint with the Eagles, he'll cash in and get $36 million over three years (with $20 million guaranteed) from the Raiders. It's an admirable effort from Vegas, which is looking to erase the misery of last year's last-place finish and improve both sides of the football under first-year head coach Klint Kubiak.

The Las Vegas Raiders have signed free-agent center Tyler Linderbaum to a three-year, $81 million deal that includes $60 million guaranteed, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com. The contract makes Linderbaum the highest-paid interior offensive lineman in NFL history. Linderbaum is coming off an impressive stint with the Baltimore Ravens, including a strong 2025 season in which he posted an 80.2 PFF grade (fifth-best among centers) and an 83.7 PFF run blocking grade (fourth-best among centers). His departure is big news for the Ravens, who evidently weren't willing to match Vegas' offer to keep a key protector in the trenches. With the Raiders, Linderbaum will offer key blocking in front of running back
Ashton Jeanty and this year's consensus No. 1 draft pick, quarterback
Fernando Mendoza.

Los Angeles Kings left wing Artemi Panarin scored a goal and added an assist in Monday's 5-4 overtime victory against the Blue Jackets. Panarin's 21st goal of the season helped the Kings take an early two-goal lead in the contest, while he contributed with a helper on Adrian Kempe's game-winning goal in the extra frame to secure the win. Panarin remains an elite option for all fantasy formats, as he has picked up eight points in seven games since joining the Kings through a trade from the Rangers, while he has season totals of 21 goals and 65 points.

Los Angeles Kings right wing Adrian Kempe scored two goals, including the game-winner, in Monday's 5-4 overtime victory against the Blue Jackets. The Swedish forward found the back of the net twice to extend his point streak to five consecutive games, and he has a total of nine points since coming back from the Olympic break. Kempe has totals of 25 goals and 55 points on the season, making him a high-end forward option across all fantasy leagues.

New York Rangers goaltender Igor Shesterkin made 32 saves on 34 shots as the Rangers dominated the Philadelphia Flyers 6-2 on Monday. He got plenty of support from his offense, but Shesterkin also had a very strong performance and won his 20th game of the season. Through 39 appearances, Shesterkin has a 20-12-6 record with a 2.49 goals against average and a .913 save percentage.

New York Rangers center Mika Zibanejad had a strong three-point performance on Monday night as the Rangers defeated the Flyers 6-2. His first goal came on a snap shot with 6:53 remaining in the first period, then he added one on a power play late in the second period. Zibanejad is having a strong season for the rebuilding Rangers, leading his team with 27 goals and 59 points.

Despite his Southeastern roots and affinity for playing on Bermuda grass surfaces, Harris English has a downright putrid record at The Players Championship. In 12 career appearances, he has one top 20 finish to go along with seven missed cuts. The former Georgia Bulldog is a serviceable ball striker, but it isn't up to the level needed to compete on The Stadium Course. He ranks third on the season in strokes gained off the tee (+0.596), and ranks 13th in par-4 scoring average. If he is to make a run at this championship, he'll need to be sharper with his iron play and short game. But there is some value to be had here for guys playing for the perceived ceiling English has.

The Las Vegas Raiders are signing veteran free-agent kicker
Matt Gay to an undisclosed deal on Monday evening, his agents told Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network. The move to bring Gay in pretty much seals previous placekicker
Daniel Carlson leaving in unrestricted free agency. The 31-year-old Gay was cut by the Washington Commanders last year after going 13-for-19 on his field-goal attempts in 10 games. He was picked up by the San Francisco 49ers and went 4-for-4 on field goals and 4-for-4 on extra-point attempts in just two games before
Eddy Pineiro returned from injury. The former fifth-round pick of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2019 out of Utah has made 84.3% of his 216 career field-goal attempts, including going 32-for-54 from 50-plus yards in his seven NFL seasons. The Raiders' offense could be much improved in 2026, even with a rookie signal-caller most likely starting most of the games. Still, Gay shouldn't be drafted in 12-team fantasy leagues.

The San Francisco 49ers are now said to be open to trading Pro Bowl left tackle Trent Williams if "the situation doesn't get resolved," sources told Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. Williams is due $32 million in salary in 2026 and carries a $38 million salary cap number. If the 49ers were to trade the 37-year-old veteran, it would free up around $5 million of cap space this year. General manager John Lynch expressed optimism in late February that the two sides would be able to work something out. He carries three void years on his contract beyond this year with no guaranteed money. The Niners are likely hesitant to give Williams too much on a new extension. He's still one of the top left tackles in the game, but his advanced age suggests a decline is likely coming soon. If Williams is traded, it would be a pretty notable downgrade for quarterback
Brock Purdy and the rest of San Fran's offense.

Things have cooled off for Pierceson Coody after the hot start to the season. He missed his first cut of the season last week at Bay Hill, after losing over three shots around the green. He'll now make his first career start at The Players Championship, a place notorious for being unkind to first-timers. The 26-year-old has proven his ability to hang, but TPC Sawgrass is unlike anything he's played this year. His distance gives advantages at certain venues, but a 55.77% driving accuracy will be difficult to overcome here. Luckily, the approach play he's displayed this season has been some of the best we've seen from anyone. Coody has the talent for The Stadium Course, but ownership will determine how viable an option he is. If he's even remotely at the same level that he was before last week, there are better options elsewhere.

The Atlanta Falcons announced on Monday that veteran tight end
Hayden Hurst is announcing his retirement from professional football. Hurst will hang up his cleats after not being signed with a team during the 2025 season. In his final NFL campaign in 2024 with the Los Angeles Chargers, the 32-year-old caught a career-low eight passes for 73 yards and no touchdowns on 13 targets in nine regular-season games. Hurst was originally the 25th overall pick in the first round by the Baltimore Ravens in 2018 out of South Carolina. He finishes his seven-year NFL career with 203 receptions (294 targets) for 1,975 yards and 15 touchdowns in 88 regular-season games (41 starts). In addition to the Chargers and Ravens, Hurst suited up with the Atlanta Falcons (two years), Cincinnati Bengals (one year), and Carolina Panthers (one year). He was at his best in 202 in Atlanta, posting a 56-571-6 line in 16 games.

Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer reports that the Indianapolis Colts' initial offer to quarterback
Daniel Jones (Achilles) was in the range of
Sam Darnold's three-year, $100.5 million deal he signed with the Seattle Seahawks last offseason. Jones' camp countered and asked for a deal worth $50 million per year. Instead of franchise-tagging Jones, the Colts gave him the transition tag. The 28-year-old was having one of the best years of his career in his first year in Indy before his torn Achilles tendon in Week 14, throwing for 3,101 yards, 19 touchdowns, and eight interceptions in 13 starts. If Jones were to return to Indy in 2026 and play on the transition tender, he'd make $37.833 million. Breer suggests that Jones will likely have to come down on his demands with the Colts if he wants to return to a familiar place without having to learn a new offense. Jones' rehab is expected to cost him most of the offseason, which will make him a pretty risky QB2 in fantasy football drafts. The Colts bringing back wideout
Alec Pierce should help get Jones back in the building.

It wasn't meant to be for Daniel Berger this past week at the API, as he ultimately didn't do enough on the weekend to hold off a confident Akshay Bhatia. Still, it was a successful week for the 32-year-old, who led the field in strokes gained on approach (+1.98) and strokes gained from tee to green (+2.70). He'll now head to TPC Sawgrass, where his game sets up beautifully and ultimately flourishes. The Stadium Course usually awards sound ball striking, and while that is usually the skill we equate with Berger, it has been his short game and putting that have given him the biggest boost around this property. Hopefully, he can shake off the close call at Bay Hill and show up to Ponte Vedra ready to play, because he's a worthwhile DFS selection.

The St. Louis Cardinals announced on Monday that they sent outfield prospect
Joshua Baez to minor-league camp. Baez homered in three straight Grapefruit League games, but he'll begin the 2026 season at Triple-A Memphis after hitting .287/.384/.500 with an .884 OPS, 20 home runs, 79 RBI, 78 runs scored, and 54 stolen bases in 495 plate appearances over 117 games at High-A Peoria and Double-A Springfield. Sixteen of his 20 long balls came at Double-A in 79 games played. The power/speed is obvious here for Baez, who is ranked by MLB Pipeline as the Cardinals' No. 4 prospect. He's the No. 87 overall prospect in MLB entering the 2026 season. If Baez performs well early on at Memphis, he'll most likely make his MLB debut at some point this year. There is 30-30 potential for the 6-foot-3, 220-pounder who was drafted in the second round in 2021. Baez's best path to playing time in St. Louis will be in right field. He's firmly back on the dynasty/keeper radar.
