Extension Thoughts for Drake London are "Top of Mind" for Falcons
Atlanta Falcons general manager Ian Cunningham said extension thoughts about wide receiver Drake London are "on top of mind," according to Marc Raimondi of ESPN. But right now, the Falcons are focusing on free agency and then the 2026 draft. Cunningham said that extensions for both London and star running back Bijan Robinson likely won't be focused on until after April's draft. The 24-year-old former eighth overall pick in 2022 out of USC is heading into the final year of his rookie deal and deserves a big raise after hauling in 309 catches for 3,961 yards and 22 touchdowns on 497 targets in his first four years in the league. London had a 68-919-7 line in a career-low 12 regular-season games in 2025 due to a knee issue. He was still a top-20 fantasy wideout despite missing five games. Going into 2026, London's fantasy value will carry slightly more risk with Tua Tagovailoa potentially becoming the Falcons' starting signal-caller over Michael Penix Jr. (knee), who is recovering from a torn ACL.

Bilal Coulibaly Will Not Play Monday
Washington Wizards guard/forward Bilal Coulibaly (heel) will miss Monday's game against the Lakers, creating more minutes on the wing for a young rotation already missing Alexandre Sarr (toe). Will Riley could be in line for a larger role after scoring 14 points with one three-pointer in 26 minutes last game, while Justin Champagnie added 10 points, one three-pointer, and one block in 24 minutes. Jamir Watkins also chipped in eight points in 17 minutes. Riley stands out as the most interesting deep-league streamer for scoring, while Champagnie offers modest category depth if minutes hold.

Bryan Abreu's Mechanics the Cause of Velocity Dip
Houston Astros manager Joe Espada thinks right-handed reliever Bryan Abreu's dip in velocity in Sunday's win over the Los Angeles Angels was due to issues with his mechanics and not any physical injury, according to Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle. Abreu's fastball averaged 93.2 mph in his outing on Sunday after averaging 97.3 mph a season ago. With his velocity being down early on, Abreu has struggled as the team's de facto closer with Josh Hader (biceps) on the injured list. He's allowed four earned runs on a home run while walking four and striking out three in 1 1/3 innings. Espada said on Monday that Abreu is "doing well." On Saturday, Abreu averaged 95.9 mph on his 12 fastballs but walked two batters and gave up a three-run homer to Nolan Schanuel. Abreu, who had a 2.28 ERA and led all relievers with 105 strikeouts in 70 outings, is capable of turning things around and needs to be rostered for saves as Houston's primary closer while Hader is sidelined.

Anthony Volpe to Take Live Batting Practice Soon
New York Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe (shoulder) has been hitting off the Trajekt pitching machine and will advance to live batting practice soon, according to Bryan Hoch of MLB.com. The Yankees put Volpe on the 10-day injured list to begin the 2026 campaign after he had surgery to fix the labrum in his left (non-throwing) shoulder last October. He has been brought along slowly, but he could be cleared to start a minor-league rehab assignment in the second week of April. The most likely scenario is that Volpe will be ready to make his 2026 season debut at some point in early May, barring a setback. The former first-rounder in 2019 hit just .212 (114-for-539) and managed to hit 19 home runs and steal 18 bases in 153 regular-season games despite dealing with a labrum tear for the majority of the season. Until he's ready to return, the speedy Jose Caballero will be the Yankees' primary shortstop. Volpe is rostered in just 7% of Yahoo leagues right now.

Alexandre Sarr Ruled Out Vs. Lakers
Washington Wizards center Alexandre Sarr (toe) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Lakers after being downgraded from questionable, leaving Washington thin in the frontcourt. Tristan Vukcevic could see more opportunity despite playing just 16 minutes in his last start, where he finished with 10 points, two three-pointers, and one block. Anthony Gill logged heavier minutes off the bench with 31 and contributed eight points, three rebounds, and one steal. Vukcevic could be worth a look in deeper leagues for managers needing a big man who can hit the occasional three, while Gill is more of a low-upside option who may help a bit in rebounds if his minutes stay elevated.

Carlos Rodon Throws Live Batting Practice
New York Yankees left-hander Carlos Rodon (elbow) threw 50 pitches in a live batting practice session on Sunday, per MLB.com's Bryan Hoch. Rodon was forced to start the 2026 season on the 15-day injured list after having surgery in the offseason to remove a bone spur from his left elbow. However, he's already throwing off a mound against hitters, which means he might not be far off from a minor-league rehab assignment. If Rodon doesn't encounter any setbacks as he continues to ramp up, he could make his season debut for the Yankees in April. The three-time All-Star really struggled in his first year in the Bronx in 2023, but he's been much better the last two years, going 34-18 with a 3.50 ERA, 1.13 WHIP, 398 strikeouts, and 130 walks in 370 1/3 innings over 65 starts in pinstripes. Rodon absolutely should be rostered in all fantasy leagues while he recovers, given his high-end upside for one of the best teams in baseball.

Gerrit Cole to Throw Live Batting Practice in a Couple of Days
New York Yankees right-hander Gerrit Cole (elbow) is scheduled to throw one "up" of live batting practice in a couple of days, according to Bryan Hoch of MLB.com. Cole continues to trudge along in his recovery from Tommy John surgery that he had in March of last year. Ultimately, the Yankees are hoping that he can return to the team's starting rotation by late May or early June. Cole threw 2 2/3 innings during spring training before the team placed him on the 15-day injured list for the start of the regular season. The former American League Cy Young winner deserves to be stashed in all fantasy baseball leagues, but you'll need to be patient. Because of Cole's long layoff, workload restrictions are expected to be in place to help ease him back in. The former first overall pick in 2011 out of UCLA is a six-time All-Star, but he has only made 17 starts for the Yankees since the start of the 2024 season.

Keon Ellis Draws Start Monday
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Keon Ellis will start Monday against Utah with Jarrett Allen (knee), Max Strus (foot), Dean Wade (ankle), and Jaylon Tyson (toe) all sidelined. Ellis has shown he can chip in steals with modest scoring when given extended minutes, including a recent start in which he produced 17 points and two steals across 37 minutes. He also added 10 points, two threes, two assists, and one steal in 25 minutes off the bench his last time out. Ellis looks like a reasonable short-term pickup in deeper leagues for anyone needing defensive stats.

Saints, Chris Olave Having Extension Talks
New Orleans Saints head coach Kellen Moore said at this week's owners' meetings that the team is holding extension talks with top wide receiver Chris Olave. It looks like the Saints are serious about locking up Olave as young quarterback Tyler Shough's top target for the foreseeable future. Last year, when playing with the rookie Shough, Olave caught 66 passes for 780 yards and six touchdowns in 10 games. Overall, the former first-round pass-catcher caught 100 passes for 1,163 yards and nine touchdowns in 16 starts in his fourth year in the league. It was a nice bounce-back campaign for Olave in 2025 after he played in a career-low eight games due to injury in 2024. In his four years in the league, Olave has made a name for himself, catching 291 passes on 457 targets for 3,728 yards and 19 touchdowns in 55 games played. As Shough's top target again in 2026, Olave will be a low-end WR1/high-end WR2 in fantasy football leagues.

Craig Porter Jr. Returns Monday
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Craig Porter Jr. (groin) is available for Monday's game against Utah after missing seven games with a left groin strain. The 26-year-old logged limited minutes before the injury, averaging 3.0 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 1.8 assists in 14.8 minutes across his recent appearances, and he is unlikely to see enough run to matter in most fantasy formats. His return mainly adds depth behind James Harden and Dennis Schroder. Porter can remain on waiver wires, with Sam Merrill and Keon Ellis still ahead in the rotation.

Cody Ponce Carted Off on Monday With Knee Discomfort
Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Cody Ponce (knee) injured his right knee while fielding a ground ball in his first outing of the 2026 season on Monday against the Colorado Rockies, according to Blake Murphy of Sportsnet. Ponce was able to get up and limp around, but he was ultimately carted from the field. The team announced that he has "right-knee discomfort." We won't know more about the severity of his knee injury until he undergoes tests. Hopefully, the 31-year-old can avoid a serious injury in his return to the big leagues. In his first two major-league seasons in 2020 and 2021 with the Pittsburgh Pirates, Ponce struggled to a 5.86 ERA and 1.54 WHIP with 48 strikeouts and 17 walks in 55 1/3 innings pitched over 20 appearances (five starts). He spent three years in Japan and one year in Korea before signing with Toronto in the offseason. Ponce only lasted 2 1/3 innings before getting hurt, allowing an earned run on one hit while walking one and striking out three. UPDATE: Ponce will undergo an MRI exam on Tuesday, according to Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.

Elijah Harkless Out Vs. Cleveland
Utah Jazz guard Elijah Harkless (hamstring) will not play Monday against Cleveland due to hamstring soreness, thinning an already depleted backcourt. With Isaiah Collier (hamstring) and Keyonte George (hamstring) also sidelined, Kennedy Chandler could see more ballhandling duties after posting 11 points, three rebounds, and eight assists in 24 minutes last game. Bez Mbeng may also pick up extra run after contributing five points, three rebounds, one assist, and one steal in 17 minutes. Chandler is worth a look for managers needing assists in deeper leagues, while Mbeng is more of a wait-and-see option unless minutes climb.

Cam Skattebo Looks Ready to Go for OTAs
New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo (ankle) was seen at Arizona's pro day last Friday, and he looked ready to go for the start of organized team activities next week, according to general manager Joe Schoen. "[He was] jogging around, running, jumping on ex-teammates' backs and stuff like that. I said, Will you stop?" Schoen said. "But he's declaring himself he's ready to go. So it'll be good to see him next week as well. We'll ease him back. Obviously, we don't play until September, but he's in good headspace, physically as well." The Giants aren't going to rush the 24-year-old back after having season-ending surgery to fix a dislocated ankle, but all signs point to him being a full-go for training camp and for the start of the 2026 regular season in early September. Durability could be an issue for the battering ram of an RB, but the former fourth-rounder has RB1 fantasy upside in what looks like it could be an explosive offense going forward under dual-threat QB Jaxon Dart. Skattebo had 410 rushing yards and five touchdowns on 101 carries in eight games in 2025, adding 24 catches for 207 yards and two more scores as a receiver.

RJ Barrett On Track to Play Tuesday
Toronto Raptors guard/forward RJ Barrett (shoulder) is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against Detroit and is expected to play through left shoulder soreness. The 25-year-old has averaged 18.8 points, 1.4 three-pointers, 4.0 rebounds, and 4.0 assists in 27.5 minutes over his last five games and should continue handling significant usage with Immanuel Quickley (foot) sidelined. Barrett also delivered 24 points, three rebounds, three assists, and three steals in 27 minutes Sunday. Jamal Shead and Scottie Barnes should continue sharing playmaking duties, but Barrett remains a must-start option for points and secondary assists.

Brandon Ingram Iffy for Tuesday
Toronto Raptors guard/forward Brandon Ingram (heel) is questionable for Tuesday's game against Detroit due to ongoing right heel soreness after sitting out the previous contest. If he remains out, Jamal Shead could continue starting after producing 12 points, two rebounds, 10 assists, and three steals in 23 minutes last game, giving him short-term value for assists and steals. Ja'Kobe Walter added 11 points, three three-pointers, and six rebounds in 28 minutes, while Gradey Dick chipped in 11 points off the bench. Scottie Barnes would also remain a primary offensive hub if Ingram sits again.

Giants "Hopeful" Malik Nabers Will be Ready for Week 1
New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen is "hopeful" that wide receiver Malik Nabers (knee) will be "ready from the jump" for Week 1 of the 2026 regular season in September, according to Dan Salomone of Giants.com. "Like I always say, we'll see," Schoen said. "As long as there's not a setback or whatever it may be, optimistic Week 1, he'll be ready. But again, you just never tell with these things and how they're going to react or if there's any setbacks. But he's in a good spot right now mentally and physically." Nabers actually has a chance to be good to go for Week 1 since he suffered his torn ACL in his right knee way back in Week 4 in 2025. Fantasy managers will have a better read on the former sixth overall pick's availability for the coming season once training camp gets underway in late July. Despite coming off a major knee injury, the 22-year-old has youth on his side and should continue to have high-end WR1 upside in fantasy with young QB Jaxson Dart after he caught 127 passes for 1,475 yards and nine touchdowns in his first 19 NFL games.

Immanuel Quickley Ruled Out Tuesday
Toronto Raptors guard Immanuel Quickley (foot) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Detroit as he continues to manage right foot plantar fasciitis. His absence should keep second-year guard Jamal Shead in the starting lineup after he averaged 11.7 points, 8.1 assists, 2.1 rebounds, and 1.3 steals across 10 starts this season, making him a viable assists streamer in standard leagues. Scottie Barnes should continue to see elevated playmaking duties, while RJ Barrett (shoulder), if cleared, could also take on more usage. Quickley remains a hold in most formats, though fantasy managers in shallow playoff leagues may need healthier options.

Rams Want Puka Nacua to Stick Around for a "Really Long Time"
The Los Angeles Rams remain confident in star wide receiver Puka Nacua, who is in line for a lucrative contract extension, despite some poor judgment he has recently displayed off the field. "You guys know, I trust this kid's heart," head coach Sean McVay said. "This is an opportunity for him to learn and grow, and we are hopeful that he's a Ram for a really long time." The 24-year-old from BYU has turned out to be a major value pick for the Rams after they selected him in the fifth round (177th overall) in 2023. Nacua has quickly become one of the top receivers in the NFL after just three seasons, making the Pro Bowl twice and leading the league in 2025 in catches (129), while adding a career-high 1,715 yards and 10 touchdowns in 16 regular-season games. He even outscored Jaxon Smith-Njigba in fantasy to take home the WR1 crown. Nacua has a ridiculous total of 313 catches, 4,191 yards, and 19 touchdowns in just 44 career games. He's the real deal and will be a first-round fantasy asset in 2026 redrafts.

Tanner Bibee to Start on Tuesday Against Dodgers
Cleveland Guardians right-hander Tanner Bibee (shoulder) has been cleared to make his next start on Tuesday on the road against the Los Angeles Dodgers, according to Paul Hoynes of The Cleveland Plain Dealer. Bibee was pulled from his Opening Day start on Thursday against the Seattle Mariners after allowing three solo home runs due to right-shoulder inflammation. The injury was never considered serious, though, and he has been cleared to start on the road in a very difficult matchup. Fantasy managers in DFS will definitely want to avoid Bibee coming off his shoulder scare against the reigning World Series champions. The three solo shots that Bibee allowed at T-Mobile Park last Thursday night were the only runs he gave up, also walking two and striking out seven in five innings of work in his 2026 season debut.

Caleb Martin Remains Sidelined Monday
Dallas Mavericks forward Caleb Martin (heel) will remain sidelined for Monday's matchup against Minnesota, extending his recent stretch on the inactive list due to a right heel issue. The veteran wing last appeared March 15, finishing with five points, one rebound, and one three in eight minutes, and he has not held a meaningful fantasy role even when healthy. His continued absence mainly preserves rotation minutes for Khris Middleton and Klay Thompson, while Brandon Williams could also maintain deep-league streaming appeal. Martin can remain on waiver wires outside of very deep formats.

Olivier-Maxence Prosper to Miss Monday's Game
Memphis Grizzlies forward Olivier-Maxence Prosper (wrist) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Phoenix Suns. The second-year forward is dealing with right wrist soreness that will keep him out of this contest. His absence from the rotation should mean more minutes for Taylor Hendricks and Tyler Burton. Between the two, Hendricks is the better streaming choice for Monday's slate. Hendricks offers some deep league value and could be worth a look as a cheaper DFS option for Monday's slate.

Marvin Bagley III Won't Play Vs. Minnesota
Dallas Mavericks forward/center Marvin Bagley III (shoulder) will not play Monday against Minnesota due to a left shoulder impingement after posting 26 points, nine rebounds, three assists, one steal, and one block in 27 minutes Friday. His absence should lock Daniel Gafford into heavy minutes and keep Dwight Powell in the rotation after Powell produced four points, five rebounds, and three assists in 21 minutes last game. Gafford, who has averaged 17.4 points and 10.4 rebounds over his last five, profiles as the safer fantasy play, while Powell is only a deep-league streamer for managers chasing rebounds.

Davante Adams Expected to Stay With Rams
Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said that the Rams explored trading veteran wide receiver Davante Adams this offseason, but ultimately, he's expected to remain with the team for a second year doing into the 2026 season, according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. The Rams also considered trading for Philadelphia Eagles receiver A.J. Brown, which would have pushed Adams out of L.A. "We are glad he's a Ram," McVay said. The Rams were transparent with Adams through the process. The 33-year-old six-time Pro Bowler and three-time All-Pro pass-catcher took the Rams' offense to a new level in his first year with the team in 2025, catching 60 of his 114 targets for 789 yards and a league-high 14 touchdowns in 14 regular-season starts. It was the third time in his career that he's led the league in TD receptions. Puka Nacua is still the alpha receiver in the Rams' offense, but Adams will continue to get his as a touchdown-dependent WR2 with plenty of injury risk in L.A.'s high-octane and high-scoring offense.

Daniel Gafford Cleared to Play Monday
Dallas Mavericks center Daniel Gafford (shoulder) is available for Monday's game against Minnesota after missing two contests with a right shoulder sprain. He should immediately reclaim starting duties and push Dwight Powell back to a reserve role. Gafford has averaged 17.4 points, 10.4 rebounds, and 1.6 assists in 26.4 minutes over his last five games, giving him solid value in field goal percentage, rebounds, and blocks during the fantasy finals. His return gives Dallas a needed interior presence and makes Powell more of a fringe option only in very deep formats. Gafford should be rostered wherever available.

Despite a left ankle injury, Clayton will suit up and figures to play a significant role in the rotation on Monday. He finished with seven points, six assists, and two steals across 30 minutes of play on Saturday. Ty Jerome (ankle) remains out, which means Clayton should continue seeing a larger role in the rotation. He's mostly a deep league option and could offer some cheap DFS value for Monday's slate.

Ausar Thompson is Cleared for Monday's Game
Detroit Pistons forward Ausar Thompson (ankle) is available to play ahead of Monday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Thompson will shed the questionable tag and suit up for this game despite dealing with an ankle issue. It's the front end of a back-to-back set, so Thompson could sit out on Tuesday. Fantasy managers should check back for an update on his status ahead of that game against the Toronto Raptors. Thompson will likely be asked to take on a larger role offensively with Tobias Harris (hip), Duncan Robinson (hip), and Jalen Duren (knee) all sidelined. He should be a solid fantasy option with the Pistons shorthanded for Monday's slate.

Dallas Mavericks forwards P.J. Washington (illness) and Naji Marshall (illness) will not play Monday against Minnesota, leaving Dallas thin across the forward spots.

Middleton posted 11 points, one three-pointer, three rebounds, and five assists in 18 minutes in his last appearance, while Thompson logged seven points, two threes, two rebounds, three assists, and one block in 18 minutes last game. Brandon Williams and Ryan Nembhard could also see deeper-league value if Dallas leans smaller.

Vikings Picking Up Jordan Addison's Fifth-Year Option
The Minnesota Vikings will pick up the fifth-year option on wide receiver Jordan Addison, according to Ari Meirov of The 33rd Team. The fifth-year option will pay Addison $18 million fully guaranteed for the 2027 season. The Vikings still believe in Addison despite posting a career-low 610 receiving yards and three touchdowns on 42 catches (79 targets) in 14 games in his third year in the league. The 24-year-old former 23rd overall pick in 2023 out of USC had career-low numbers across the board, but it wasn't all his fault. Quarterback J.J. McCarthy struggled with consistency and injuries in his first full year as the Vikings' starter under center, and he could just never get on the same page with either Addison or All-Pro wideout Justin Jefferson. This could be a great time to buy low on Addison in dynasty leagues, hoping that he can bounce back in 2026 and beyond with Kyler Murray potentially having the leg up to start for the Vikings at QB. Addison had 133 catches on 207 targets for 1,786 yards and 19 total touchdowns in his first two seasons in the NFL.

Jalen Duren to Sit Out on Monday
Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. As expected, Duren will sit out the front end of this back-to-back set due to rest purposes. The expectation is that Duren will return for Tuesday's game, but fantasy managers should check back ahead of that game to confirm. The Pistons are shorthanded right now, so Paul Reed figures to play a big role during Monday's game. When he gets significant playing time, Reed is usually productive, so fantasy managers should be able to trust him as a streaming option here. Ron Holland II and Javonte Green should also see increased roles in the rotation on Monday.

His return should reduce the streaming value of Mike Conley, Bones Hyland, Jaylen Clark and Terrence Shannon Jr., while Julius Randle may lose a bit of offensive burden. Edwards belongs in all active lineups given his top-tier usage and category coverage.
