Anaheim Ducks forward Cutter Gauthier (upper body) saw only 3:20 of ice time in Monday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs. He scored a power-play goal midway through the first period but left the game shortly afterward due to an upper-body injury. Gauthier has been a revelation for the Ducks. On Monday night, he became only the fourth player in franchise history to score 12 or more goals in a single calendar month. He leads his team with 38 goals and 65 points in 73 games. Only seven players in the league have netted more goals this season. If Gauthier can't recover in time for Wednesday's tilt against San Jose, Frank Vatrano would have a chance to re-enter the lineup.

Colorado Avalanche defenseman Cale Makar suffered an upper-body injury in Monday's 9-2 victory over the Calgary Flames. After setting up three goals, Makar sat out the third period. The two-time Norris Trophy winner hasn't missed any games this season, but it's unclear whether he will be healthy enough to face the Vancouver Canucks on Wednesday night. It's been another huge campaign for Makar, who ranks third among defensemen with 75 points (20 goals, 55 assists) in 73 games. On the defensive end, he has recorded 117 blocks. Sam Malinski and Brent Burns will have bigger roles on defense if Makar misses additional time.

Brooklyn Nets forward
Josh Minott (hip) will suit up on Tuesday against the Charlotte Hornets. A hip problem forced Minott to miss Sunday's matchup with Sacramento, but the team hasn't included him on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's action. Minott has recently returned to fantasy radars, averaging 15.7 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.7 steals, and 1.0 blocks over his last seven appearances. Brooklyn's limited frontcourt options mean Minott is poised to have a significant role again on Tuesday. Meanwhile,
E.J. Liddell will have a tougher time finding minutes in the rotation.

Milwaukee Bucks center
Myles Turner (knee) hasn't been listed on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. The former Pacer is set to return to the lineup after sitting out Sunday's loss to the Clippers due to right patella tendinopathy.
Jericho Sims started at center against the Clippers and will likely resume a backup role on Tuesday night. Turner's first year with the Bucks has been disappointing, and his numbers in March have been especially underwhelming. Over 13 games, the veteran big man has averaged 8.8 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 1.0 steals.

March 31, 2026
Milwaukee Bucks forward
Kyle Kuzma (Achilles) is listed as probable for a meeting with the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday night. He hasn't played for four games due to right Achilles tendonopathy. The probable tag suggests that Milwaukee will have Kuzma back in the lineup against Dallas. With
Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) and
Kevin Porter Jr. (knee) out of the lineup, Kuzma could be one of the primary offensive options for the Bucks. He has averaged 13.1 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 2.8 assists in March.
Pete Nance may lose his starting spot with Kuzma back, but he hasn't been very productive anyway.

Milwaukee Bucks guard
Ryan Rollins (hip) is probable for Tuesday's matchup with the Dallas Mavericks. He didn't play in Sunday's loss to the Clippers due to a sore left hip flexor.
Andre Jackson Jr. started that game and will likely move back to the bench on Tuesday night. Rollins' return will also affect
Gary Trent Jr., who took on a leading role on offense against the Clippers with a season-high 36 points. Recently, Rollins has struggled to perform at a consistent level. However, his average numbers have been solid, as the 23-year-old has posted 16.7 points, 4.5 rebounds, 6.2 assists, and 1.6 steals per game in March.
--Taavi PailkSource: NBA Injury Report
March 31, 2026
Milwaukee Bucks forward
Bobby Portis (wrist) will skip a fourth consecutive game on Tuesday against the Dallas Mavericks. The Bucks have just been eliminated from playoff contention, and Portis is nursing a left wrist sprain, so it doesn't make sense for the team to have him on the floor when he's less than 100 percent.
Pete Nance and
Taurean Prince should continue to benefit from Portis' absence against Dallas. Due to injuries, Nance has become a regular starter for Milwaukee, but Prince has provided better production. He finished Sunday's loss to the Clippers with 18 points, six rebounds, eight assists, two steals, and one block.

Phoenix Suns guard/forward
Dillon Brooks (hand) will return to action on Tuesday against the Orlando Magic, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports. He hasn't played since Feb. 21 due to a fractured hand. Brooks has had a big campaign in Phoenix, taking his offensive game to another level. He is averaging a career-high 20.9 points per game, along with 3.7 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 1.0 steals. His return will bump either
Royce O'Neale or
Collin Gillespie to the second unit. Over the final stretch, Brooks may not be as productive as before due to
Jalen Green's presence.

Patrick Rodgers missed the cut in Houston simply because the birdies were not there. The American golfer went 72-72 during the first two rounds. It was the first time Rodgers was in the negative when it came to strokes gained to putting since Scottsdale (WM Phoenix Open). Was last week a blip? That is possible considering Rodgers' approach shots were so erratic and so were his missed putts. The 2.76 strokes lost overall was his worst event since the Betfred British Masters last August. Given the numbers, Rodgers is in an event where outrageously low scores are not commonplace. He did have a Top 5 in San Antonio as recently as 2023 so maybe that betting option of a Top 20 or Top 10 is again a potential choice.

Minnesota Timberwolves forward
Jaden McDaniels (knee) is week-to-week due to a left knee patella tendinopathy and a bone bruise. He sat out a second consecutive contest on Monday night against the Dallas Mavericks. McDaniels has become a key contributor for the Timberwolves, averaging a career-high 14.8 points, 4.2 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.0 blocks, and 1.1 steals in 2025-26. His absence should allow
Ayo Dosunmu to stay in the starting lineup despite
Anthony Edwards' return to the lineup.
Kyle Anderson
could also have a bigger role until Minnesota is back at full strength.

Sepp Straka has enjoyed a very solid 2026 season so far. The Austrian golfer has four Top 25 results in six events and comes off a T-8 at THE PLAYERS Championship. Straka is capable of the odd implosion like round. There was Round 3 at The Genesis Invitational (80) and the 76 at TPC Sawgrass. Straka's numbers do not jump off the page off the tee but his balance does. It is why he ranks 22nd strokes gained overall at 1.082. Straka's fortune this week boils more down to putting. He averages 29.4 putts per round on Sundays which is that one red flag. Starts are key and something that Straka has worked on which makes him a solid early betting option to lead after Thursday. Top 10 and Top 20 bets are also viable choices for Straka again.

Nick Taylor missed his first cut of 2026 at the Valspar Championship. The Canadian golfer missed quite a few birdie opportunities due to errant drives. Taylor was 24% off average distance and 22% off the average accuracy with his driver. With TPC San Antonio rolling in at 7,435 yards, the course features three Par 5's with lengths of 590 yards or greater. A similar result came in from the Arnold Palmer but Taylor was able to offset that with better putting. He ranks 93rd in strokes gained as even numbered years seem to be down ones in terms of putting. With his final rounds averaging 29.64 putts per round, Taylor is a fade at least for the weekend in DFS especially. Chances of seeing the weekend are almost a coin flip which sets up different betting options.

Keith Michell is enjoying his most consistent stretch of golf in a long while. The American golfer has made all nine cuts in 2026. Furthermore, he comes off a T-14 last week in Houston. TPC San Antonio rewards longer hitters and Mitchell averages 312.1 yards off the tee (27th). His overall strokes gained ranks ninth in driving (0.653). The one real concern is that he wastes putts in the middle rounds. Mitchell averages 30.11 putts per second round. It seems he has one round where shots go errant more and putts do too. This is the weekend for Mitchell to put four rounds together. He has three straight Top 20 results in San Antonio and that makes him an attractive betting option again.

Houston Astros veteran second baseman
Jose Altuve can still hit. The 35-year-old nine-time All-Star, former MVP, and three-time batting champion had a big night as the team's leadoff hitter in the 8-1 win over the Boston Red Sox, going 4-for-4 at the plate with two home runs, four runs scored, and a walk to boost his early-season batting average to .412 and his OPS to 1.389. Both of Altuve's home runs in the first game of the series at Daikin Park came off right-hander
Johan Oviedo. It was Altuve's 15th career multi-homer game. Father Time remains undefeated, and Altuve is no spring chicken anymore, but Monday night's performance is a reminder that he still has plenty of fantasy value as a starting second baseman in mixed fantasy leagues. If Altuve can remain healthy, we wouldn't rule out his chances of posting another 20-20 season in his 17th year in the big leagues.

Clemson cornerback Avieon Terrell (hamstring), who is projected to be a first-round pick in the 2026 NFL draft next month, aggravated his hamstring injury during the first run of his private pro day workout on Monday, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Terrell couldn't take part in his school's pro day back in early March. The 21-year-old defensive back was expected to have 29 teams in attendance to watch him on Monday. Depending on how much time Terrell will have to miss this time around because of his hamstring injury, he could fall out of the first round entirely next month. At the scouting combine at the end of February in Indianapolis, Terrell logged a 34-inch vertical jump and a 10-foot, three-inch broad jump. In his three seasons at Clemson, he had 125 combined tackles (90 solo), four sacks, nine tackles for loss, three interceptions, eight forced fumbles, and three fumble recoveries in 39 total games for the Tigers.

New York Jets general manager Darren Mougey said he expects the team to exercise the fifth-year option on defensive end Will McDonald, according to Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic. McDonald entered the NFL as the 15th overall pick by the Jets in 2023 out of Iowa State. The 26-year-old defensive lineman will stick around at least two more seasons with Gang Green after recording 72 total tackles (46 solo), 21.5 sacks, 25 tackles for loss, 48 QB hits, three pass breakups, three forced fumbles, and two fumble recoveries in 47 games (29 starts) in his three years with the team. He missed the final two games of the 2025 campaign due to a knee injury, but he's expected to be healed up and ready to go for the start of the 2026 regular season in September. In the last two years with the Jets over 32 games, McDonald has 18.5 sacks and 58 total tackles.

Rickie Fowler missed his first cut of the year at the Texas Children's Houston Open, losing over 4.1 strokes on approach in the process. He looks to get back on track at the Valero Texas Open, where he has shown a mix of volatility and upside, with three finishes of T17 or better alongside two missed cuts in six appearances. Fowler had been solid all-around this season, ranking 29th in total strokes gained (+0.857 per round), 11th in putting (+0.710), and 17th in total driving. His approach play has fallen to 72nd on tour, largely due to losing strokes in four straight events. While he has been accurate off the tee (17th), his long iron play has been questionable, ranking just 116th in proximity from 200+, a distance that made up over 26% of approach shots here last year. After back-to-back disappointing results, Fowler carries clear boom-or-bust potential at $8,800 on DraftKings.

Jacksonville Jaguars general manager James Gladstone said at the league meetings that the team will pick up right tackle Anton Harrison's fifth-year option for the 2027 season, according to Ryan O'Halloran of The Florida Times-Union. Since being taken with the 27th overall pick in the first round of the 2023 NFL draft out of Oklahoma, the 24-year-old offensive lineman has started all 48 of the games that he's appeared in over his three NFL seasons in Duvall. Harrison has been a solid right tackle for the Jaguars and will return to his starting role in 2026 as the Jaguars look to get back to the postseason and defend their AFC South title from 2025. This is good news for the entire Jacksonville offense, and most importantly, quarterback
Trevor Lawrence.

Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst said at the league meetings this week that "everything's good" with All-Pro pass-rusher Micah Parsons' (knee) rehab from the torn ACL that he suffered in the Week 15 loss to the Denver Broncos, according to Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette. Parsons had surgery on his knee on Dec. 30, which was performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache. Gutekunst would not put a timeline on when Parsons might be back for Green Bay. "No, we're really early in this," Gutekunst said. "Obviously, we invested quite a bit in him, so we will be very protective of that investment as we go forward." The Packers sent two first-round picks and defensive tackle Kenny Clark to the Dallas Cowboys for Parsons, who is a game-wrecking sack artist when he's at full strength. Parsons earned first-team All-Pro honors for the third time in 2025 and had 12.5 sacks and 79 QB pressures in 14 games before his knee injury. The 26-year-old will come at a discounted price in 2026 in IDP fantasy formats because of his left-knee injury and the fact that he's expected to miss at least the first three or four weeks of the 2026 regular season.

Colorado Avalanche center Nazem Kadri scored two goals in a 9-2 dominating win over the Calgary Flames on Monday. The Canadian veteran has been playing well lately, riding a four-game point streak where he has two goals and three assists over that span. Kadri now has 16 goals and 50 points in 73 games, and he has been producing better since being traded to the Avs at the deadline. He will look to keep producing in the next game versus the Canucks.

Cleveland Browns owner Jimmy Haslam told a group of local reporters at the league meetings this week that quarterback
Deshaun Watson (Achilles) has a "great chance" and a "fresh start" with new head coach Todd Monken, according to Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN. It comes a year after Haslam called the team's trade for Watson a "big swing-and-miss." The Browns gave the 30-year-old a five-year, fully guaranteed $230 million deal back in March of 2022, and the three-time Pro Bowler has only played in 19 games for the team, completing just 61.2% of his passes for 3,365 yards, 19 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions. The Browns could add QB competition through the draft, but as of now, all signs are pointing to Watson having the edge over
Shedeur Sanders for the starting job entering the 2026 season. Watson hasn't played in an NFL game since 2024 due to a torn Achilles that required multiple surgeries. His fantasy stock in dynasty leagues is on the rise, but nothing is set in stone, and the former first overall pick in 2017 out of Clemson has a lot to prove.

Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said that wide receiver
Tory Horton (shin, groin) probably won't be at full strength for the start of the offseason program this spring, but he is expected to be ready for training camp in late July, per John Boyle of Seahawks.com. Horton, a fifth-rounder last year out of Colorado State, got off to a great start in his first year in the NFL, catching 13 passes for 161 yards and five touchdowns in eight games while also averaging 14.9 yards per punt return, including a 95-yard touchdown. But the 23-year-old pass-catcher only ended up playing in eight games for Seattle. Horton should be healthy for the start of his sophomore season in the NFL, and he should have a bigger role on offense in Year 2, but he will still open the 2026 season as at least the WR4 behind
Jaxon Smith-Njigba,
Rashid Shaheed, and veteran
Cooper Kupp. Horton is primarily a big-play wideout to stash in dynasty/keeper leagues.

Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald mentioned that running back
Zach Charbonnet (knee) is "part of the equation" for the 2026 season, which means the Seahawks are expecting him to return at some point during the upcoming season, per John Boyle of the team's official website. "Zach's a great player, he's not going to miss the whole year," Macdonald said. It's great news for a Seattle backfield that lost
Kenneth Walker III in free agency after he was named Super Bowl LX MVP. The team still has
George Holani and signed
Emanuel Wilson on the open market, but when healthy, Charbonnet should have a leg up for the majority of the team's backfield touches as they look to defend their Super Bowl title. The 25-year-old had a bigger role in 2025 next to Walker, carrying the ball a career-high 184 times for 730 yards (4.0 yards per carry) and 12 touchdowns in 16 regular-season games, adding 20 catches for 144 yards on 24 targets. There's still a lot to like about Charb's long-term fantasy profile, but in single-year leagues, tempers should be tempered after he tore his ACL in January during the postseason. He is not expected to be fully ready for the start of the 2026 regular season.

It has felt inevitable for a while that the San Francisco 49ers would trade or release disgruntled wide receiver
Brandon Aiyuk (knee) this offseason. However, owner Jed York said at the owners' meetings on Monday that he would "like to see him play for us," when referring to Aiyuk. The 28-year-old former first-rounder in 2020 out of Arizona State had back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons in 2022 and 2023 and 15 total touchdowns before signing a four-year, $120 million contract with the Niners in August of 2024. Aiyuk played in only seven games that year before suffering a season-ending torn ACL. He did not play at all in 2025 and reportedly stopped showing up to the team's facilities for his rehab, which led to the 49ers voiding the guaranteed money left on his deal last year. It's still more likely that Aiyuk won't be playing in the Bay Area in 2026, and he'll be a huge question mark for fantasy managers after such a long layoff.

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Liam Coen said that cornerback/wide receiver
Travis Hunter (knee) is "very well ahead" of schedule in his rehab from right-knee surgery on Nov. 11 of his rookie season, according to Ryan O'Halloran of the Jacksonville Florida Times-Union. Hunter injured the LCL in his knee during practice on Oct. 30 and never played again in 2025. Coen "cannot say for certain" if Hunter will be cleared to take part in organized team activities or for mandatory minicamp in May to June. The 22-year-old former Heisman Trophy winner at Colorado was just starting to see a bigger role on offense last year before injuring his knee, and he finished with 28 catches for 298 yards and one touchdown in seven games played. The Jaguars have said they plan on Hunter having a much bigger role as a defensive back in 2026, which is bad news for the former second overall pick's stock in dynasty/keeper leagues. The Jaguars are pretty set at wideout already with
Jakobi Meyers,
Brian Thomas Jr., and
Parker Washington, so it will be a tough battle for snaps and targets in Jacksonville's offense moving forward for Hunter.

New York Jets general manager Darren Mougey said on Monday that he hopes to revisit contract-extension talks with franchise-tagged running back
Breece Hall after the NFL draft in late April, per SNY. "Things are in a good place. I'm hopeful with Breece," Mougey said. Hall has not signed his franchise tag, but the two sides have until mid-July to work out a long-term extension. Despite a bad offense in 2025, the 24-year-old had the best year of his career with 1,065 rushing yards and four touchdowns on a career-high 243 rushing attempts over 16 games played. Hall added 36 receptions for 350 yards and another touchdown through the air. Fantasy managers in dynasty setups are hoping that Hall cannot work a long-term deal out with the Jets and he becomes a free agent again next year. For at least one more year with Gang Green, Hall will be a volume-based RB2 in what is expected to be another frustrating offensive situation with veteran QB
Geno Smith running the show.

Miami Dolphins general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan called running back
De'Von Achane one of the "three pillars" as a player he wants to build around and lock in on a contract extension, according to David Furones of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. Sullivan went on to say at the NFL owners meetings that he's not looking to trade Achane. Rumors circulated that Achane might be on the move this offseason after the new front office already cut both quarterback
Tua Tagovailoa and receiver
Tyreek Hill (knee) and traded
Jaylen Waddle to the Denver Broncos. Achane, 24, apparently isn't going anywhere and will be part of the rebuild in South Beach. The former third-rounder in 2023 out of Texas A&M is one of the most explosive dual-threat backs in the NFL, and volume certainly won't be an issue as the only real reliable offensive threat for new quarterback
Malik Willis. Achane is coming off his first 1,000-yard rushing season with 12 total touchdowns. He's a clear RB1 on volume alone, but his ceiling could be limited in what figures to be an inconsistent Miami offense.

Chicago White Sox infielder
Miguel Vargas took care of business on Monday to help the team beat the Miami Marlins 9-4 in the opening game of a series at LoanDepot Park, going 2-for-4 with a grand slam, two runs scored, and a career-high six RBI. Vargas was playing first base in this one while batting out of the leadoff spot. His grand slam came in the fourth inning off right-hander
Chris Paddack. The home run was his first of 2026, and his six RBI were also his first runs batted in of the season. In his first full season with the White Sox in 2025, Vargas hit .234/.316/.401 with a .717 OPS, 16 home runs, 60 RBI, 80 runs scored, and six stolen bases in 569 plate appearances over 138 games played. In deep-mixed leagues as corner-infield depth, Vargas is a fine power bat as an everyday player who has eligibility at both first and third base for the Pale Hose. Vargas' six-RBI game will surely draw attention to him in deeper leagues where he's available.

Portland Trail Blazers forward
Jerami Grant (calf) will miss Tuesday's game against the Clippers, marking his second straight absence. His absence should continue to open minutes and usage for

Deni Avdija could take on a bit more of the scoring load, while
