Joe Gibbs Racing driver Denny Hamlin will start in ninth place for this week's Goodyear 400 at Darlington Raceway after qualifying. Hamlin is the only driver from JGR to qualify inside the top 10 this week. In 27 races at Darlington, Hamlin has five wins (most of active drivers), 20 top-10 finishes (most of active drivers), 1,022 laps led (second-most of active drivers), and an average finish of 7.9 (best of all drivers all-time). The No. 11 Toyota driver is also the defending winner of this week's race and has placed in the top 10 in each of the last four Darlington races. Through five races in the 2026 season, Hamlin has one win, three top-10 finishes, and an average finish of 12.0, and is currently fourth in the regular-season standings. In practice for Sunday's race, Hamlin ranked 34th in overall lap averages and as high as 12th in 30 consecutive lap averages. Although his practice speeds were underwhelming, Darlington is one of Hamlin's top statistical tracks and always is a threat to be considered for the win at the site. Fantasy players should not underestimate Hamlin because of his incredible track history at Darlington.--Sean Engel - RotoBaller

Brooklyn Nets forward/center Noah Clowney (wrist) will miss Sunday's game in Sacramento after suffering a right wrist sprain earlier in the week. This will mark his second straight absence, leaving Brooklyn thin in the frontcourt. Ziaire Williams is expected to continue starting after posting 17 points, two three-pointers, four rebounds, one assist, and one steal in 25 minutes against the Knicks. Williams shapes up as a deep-league streaming option while Clowney remains sidelined. Danny Wolf and Josh Minott could also continue seeing steady minutes as the Nets adjust their rotation.--Brian Dailisan

Chase Briscoe of Joe Gibbs Racing will start in the 23rd position for this week's Darlington Raceway Cup event, the Goodyear 400. Briscoe has not qualified this far back in the field in a Darlington Cup event since May 2023 and marks his first start at the site outside of the top 20 since joining JGR in 2025. In 10 Cup races at Darlington, Briscoe has eight top-20 finishes, two wins, and an average finish of 14.4. The No. 19 Toyota driver led more laps at this particular track than any other in the Cup Series (338). With five races completed this season, Briscoe has two top-10 finishes, but also three outside of the top 30, with an average overall finish of 24.0, and he currently is 26th in the regular-season standings. In practice for this week's Cup race, Briscoe ranked 33rd in overall lap averages, but displayed top-10 speeds in the 15-30 consecutive lap average categories. Darlington is one of Briscoe's best tracks statistically, and he has fast long-run practice speeds this week. Combine that with his high upside from his starting position, and Briscoe is one of the top DFS options of the week to consider for all formats.--Sean Engel - RotoBaller

Tampa Bay Lightning right wing Nikita Kucherov dominated against Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday night, producing two goals and two assists in a 5-2 road win. The former MVP made a mark in all situations, surpassing McDavid to take the NHL's scoring lead. Kucherov moved two points ahead of the Oilers captain and boasts 118 points (40 goals, 78 assists) in 64 games. In 2026, no one has come close to Kucherov in scoring, as he's managed 67 points (22 goals, 45 assists) in 29 outings. No other player has even reached 50 points since the turn of the year. This hot run of form makes Kucherov the favorite for the Art Ross Trophy, which he also won in 2019, 2024, and 2025.--Taavi Pailk

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (rest) will not play Sunday against Sacramento as the team manages his workload on the first night of a back-to-back. With Day'Ron Sharpe (thumb) already ruled out for the season and Noah Clowney (wrist) sidelined, Brooklyn could rely more on smaller lineups. Danny Wolf recently posted eight points, two three-pointers, six rebounds, two assists, and one steal in 24 minutes as a starter, while Josh Minott added 22 points, six three-pointers, five rebounds, two assists, one steal, and two blocks in 26 minutes in a recent game.

St. Louis Blues defenseman Tyler Tucker (lower body) is week-to-week. He didn't play in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Vancouver Canucks due to a lower-body injury and is set to miss multiple games. Tucker has appeared in a career-high 61 games this season, registering 13 points (three goals, 10 assists), 62 shots, 44 blocks, 90 hits, and 81 penalty minutes. Justin Holl rejoined the lineup on Saturday and is expected to have a regular role until Tucker returns. Saturday's game was only Holl's fourth appearance of the season in the NHL. He has recorded one assist, with two shots on goal, three blocks, two hits, and a plus-three rating.--Taavi Pailk

Sacramento Kings guard Russell Westbrook (foot) will not play Sunday against the Nets because of right foot soreness. The veteran guard's absence could open more backcourt minutes for Killian Hayes and Devin Carter. Hayes recently produced eight points, five rebounds, two assists, one steal, and one block in 21 minutes, while Carter scored 24 points with three three-pointers, five rebounds, three assists, and one steal in 16 minutes in his last appearance. Carter stands out as a deep-league scoring streamer. Nique Clifford could also see increased usage after posting 15 points, three three-pointers, eight rebounds, and seven assists in a recent start.--Brian Dailisan

Nashville Predators goaltender Juuse Saros (upper body) is expected to miss a third consecutive game on Sunday against the Chicago Blackhawks, Vinnie Parise of The Hockey News reports. He landed on the shelf this week with an upper-body injury, prompting the team to recall Matt Murray from the minors. Justus Annunen has started back-to-back games, but Murray might get a look on Sunday since this is the second game in as many days for the Predators. Annunen has done an admirable job filling in for Saros, securing two consecutive wins and allowing just one goal in each game. Murray recorded a shutout win in his only start this season, stopping 23 shots in a 4-0 victory against Minnesota on Jan. 8.--Taavi Pailk

Los Angeles Lakers guard Luka Doncic is expected to miss Monday's game against Detroit after picking up his 16th technical foul Saturday, though the team has reportedly filed an appeal. The Slovenian superstar dominated in his last outing, recording 33 points, eight assists, five rebounds, and four steals. With 38.1 percent of the team's usage vacating the lineup, Austin Reaves and LeBron James become elite DFS plays. Luke Kennard and Jake LaRavia are viable short-term streamers in deep formats for three-point and defensive contributions. Expect a significant usage bump for Reaves, who currently averages 34.5 minutes per game.--Brian Dailisan

Hendrick Motorsports driver William Byron will start in the 13th position for this week's Goodyear 400 at Darlington Raceway. It will be Byron's lowest starting position at the site in the Cup Series since September 2023. In 15 Cup starts at Darlington, Byron has one win, seven top-10 finishes, and an average finish of 15.4. Through the first five races this year, Byron has four finishes of 13th or better with an average finish of 12.6, while he is currently seventh in the regular-season standings. In practice for this week's Cup race, Byron ranked 14th in overall lap averages while ranking as high as 24th in 20 consecutive lap averages. The No. 24 Chevrolet driver may not have the fastest practice speeds, but his overall history at Darlington has been respectable. Fantasy players could take a chance on Byron this week in any DFS format, especially based on his season-wide performance to date.--Sean Engel - RotoBaller

Milwaukee Bucks forward Kyle Kuzma (Achilles) will not return to Saturday's game against Phoenix after exiting because of right Achilles tightness. Kuzma provided an early scoring boost before the injury, finishing with 20 points, three three-pointers, and a block in 24 minutes. If he is forced to miss time, Milwaukee could lean more on Ousmane Dieng, who recently logged 11 points, one three-pointer, two rebounds, two assists, and one steal in 33 minutes as a starter. Dieng shapes up as a deep-league streamer, especially with Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) still sidelined, while Bobby Portis (ribs) could also take on a larger offensive role if cleared.--Brian Dailisan

Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Anthony Stolarz (throat) has been released from the hospital after taking a puck to the throat area before Saturday's matchup with the Ottawa Senators. Stolarz was set to start in the Battle of Ontario but was hit in the throat by a puck during the pregame warmups. He was taken to the hospital for precautionary imaging. After Saturday's game, Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube said Stolarz had left the hospital and would travel back to Toronto with the team. It appears the veteran netminder didn't suffer a serious injury and could be an option on Tuesday night against the Boston Bruins. Stolarz has posted an 8-9-3 record in 21 starts this season, allowing 3.34 goals with a .894 save percentage.--Taavi Pailk

Christopher Bell of Joe Gibbs Racing will start in the 22nd position for this week's Goodyear 400 at Darlington Raceway. This is the lowest starting position for Bell in the Cup Series at Darlington since joining JGR in 2021. In 13 Cup races at the South Carolina track, the No. 20 Toyota driver has nine top-20 finishes, including four inside the top 10, and an average finish of 15.3. Through five races so far this season, Bell has an average finish of 13.0 with three top-5 finishes and is currently sixth in the regular-season standings. In practice for this week's Cup race, Bell ranked 27th in overall lap averages and as high as 24th in 10 consecutive lap averages. Bell's practice speeds were slow, but his Darlington track history has been decent. Since he drives for one of the top Cup Series teams in terms of equipment, Bell should not be fully underestimated for this week's race, but he is more favored in cash games than tournaments for DFS due to his upside from starting in the middle of the pack.--Sean Engel - RotoBaller

Chase Elliott of Hendrick Motorsports will start in the third position for Darlington Raceway's Goodyear 400 after qualifying. This will be Elliott's first top-5 starting position in a Darlington Cup race since 2021. In 18 Cup races at the site, Elliott has eight top-10 finishes with an average finish of 15.9. He also scored Positive Place Differential in each of the last six Darlington Cup races. After five races this year, Elliott sits fifth in the regular-season standings with an average finish of 9.4 and three top-10 finishes. In practice for this week's Cup race, Elliott ranked 19th in overall lap averages while ranking 26th in 20 consecutive lap averages. Although his practice speeds were underwhelming, his overall positive track history still makes Elliott a driver who should not be overlooked for this week's race. However, the limited upside from his high starting position makes him playable only in tournament DFS contests.--Sean Engel - RotoBaller

Joey Logano of Team Penske will start 29th in the Goodyear 400 at Darlington Raceway after setting a slower lap during qualifying. This is the lowest starting position for Logano in a Cup race at Darlington since his first race at the site with Penske in 2013. In 24 races at Darlington in his Cup career, Logano has one win, 11 top-10 finishes, and an average finish of 13.6. Through the first five races this season, Logano has four top-20 finishes and scored positive Place Differential three times. In practice for Sunday's race at Darlington, Logano ranked 35th in overall lap averages, 28th in 10 consecutive lap averages, and 29th in 15 consecutive lap averages. Despite a favorable track history at Darlington, Logano's practice speeds were among the slowest in the field this week and did not improve during qualifying. It is because of his car's speed and slow start to the year that Logano is not recommended in general for DFS this week. The No. 22 Ford driver is only playable in cash lineups due to his potential ceiling from starting in the rear of the field.--Sean Engel - RotoBaller

Trackhouse Racing's Ross Chastain will start 25th after qualifying for the Goodyear 400 at Darlington Raceway. This will be the fourth time that Chastain will start outside of the top 20 at the site since 2023.

In practice for this week's Cup race at Darlington, Chastain ranked 36th in overall lap averages while displaying top-20 speeds in the 25 and 30 consecutive lap average categories.

Kyle Busch of Richard Childress Racing is starting this Sunday's race at Darlington Raceway, the Goodyear 400, from the eighth position. This matches his starting position from this race one year ago, which was his best since joining RCR in 2023. In 28 races at Darlington, Busch has one win, 17 top-10 finishes, and an average finish of 13.1, which ranks sixth among active drivers. After five Cup races so far this season, Busch has three top-20 finishes, an average finish of 21.2, and sits 22nd in the regular-season standings. In practice for this week's race, Busch ranked 22nd in overall lap averages but ranked fourth in 10 consecutive lap averages, third in 15 consecutive lap averages, and sixth in 20 consecutive lap averages. Although Busch qualified inside the top 10, he does not carry much PD upside based on his starting position. However, his practice speeds being faster on longer runs and his solid Darlington track history do make Busch a driver to consider for tournaments, as someone with low rostership who should aim to maintain a top-10 finish.--Sean Engel - RotoBaller

Baltimore Orioles general manager Mike Elias had good things to say when asked about his confidence in corner infielder Coby Mayo, according to Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun. "We're very fortunate to have Coby Mayo right behind Jordan Westburg. He's a promising young player. He's got a great opportunity ahead of him, and I think he's ready," Elias said. Not only is regular third baseman Jordan Westburg (elbow) expected to be out until some point in May, but Mayo has been raking in spring training. The 24-year-old came into Saturday's Grapefruit League action hitting .412 (14-for-34) with two home runs, three doubles, 12 RBI, three runs scored, and a stolen base in 37 plate appearances. The former top prospect will enter his third year in the majors as Baltimore's starting third baseman, giving him a huge opportunity to turn things around after hitting .201/.285/.349 with a weak .634 OPS, 11 home runs, 28 RBI, 34 runs scored, and a 106:31 K:BB in 102 games in his first two major-league seasons. Mayo's fantasy stock in both single-year and dynasty/keeper leagues is on the rise given Westburg's injury situation.--Keith Hernandez

Detroit Tigers outfield prospect Max Clark will begin the 2026 season at Triple-A Toledo, according to Nicholas Kohloff of Woodward Sports. This should come as no surprise to anyone after Clark struggled in big-league spring training this year with a .111 average (2-for-18) with an RBI, two walks, five strikeouts, and multiple miscues on defense in 10 Grapefruit League games. The 21-year-old former third overall pick in 2023 has yet to play above Double-A in the minors, so the Tigers would like to get him some more seasoning and see if he can't mature some more before he makes his major-league debut under the bright lights. With High-A West Michigan and Double-A Erie last year, Clark hit .271/.403/.432 with an .835 OPS, 14 home runs, 67 RBI, 85 runs scored, and 19 stolen bases in 111 total games. Per MLB Pipeline, he's the Tigers' No. 2 prospect and the 10th overall prospect in the sport. Clark lacks elite power upside, but all his other tools are top notch. If he continues to play well in the minors in 2026, we could see him in the big leagues in the second half of the upcoming season.--Keith Hernandez

Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young posted mixed results in 2025, but his strong finish to the year and his career-high 23 passing touchdowns put him in the conversation as a potential buy-low target in dynasty leagues. Young took strides during his third pro season, posting a career-best finish as QB19 in fantasy football. The touchdown total increased to a new career-high mark, but so did the turnovers, as he threw 11 interceptions and coughed up four fumbles. Young was highly inconsistent, and it ws difficult for fantasy managers to know when to start him. He did start to turn a corner in the second half of the season, though, ranking as the QB11 from Week 11 through Week 18. We could see the former No. 1 pick take another step forward next year as the offense takes on a slightly new look. Head coach Dave Canales is passing off play-calling duties to offensive coordinator Brad Idzik, and Young will have more freedom to make changes at the line of scrimmage. Additionally, he should have his top two receivers (Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker) healthy for Week 1, giving him a pair of highly talented weapons heading into the season. There will still be growing pains, and we won't claim to expect a top-12 fantasy finish from Young. However, such an outcome wouldn't surprise us, either. As a result, he's an intriguing speculative buy-low candidate at his current price tag in dynasty leagues.--Andersen Pickard

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Devaughn Vele is an intriguing under-the-radar sleeper for 2026. Acquired from the Denver Broncos last year, Vele started to turn a corner following the Saints' Week 11 bye. In four games after the bye, he caught 19 passes for 239 yards and one touchdown. He averaged 12.2 points per game in PPR leagues during that span, ranking as the overall WR21. Unfortunately, Vele injured his shoulder in Week 15 and missed the final three contests of the season. Despite his late-season injury, Vele produced enough when healthy to suggest that he might play a key role on offense in 2026. He's currently listed as the No. 2 receiver on the depth chart, slotting in behind Chris Olave. Quarterback Tyler Shough had a great rookie season, and there's reason to believe he can support two fantasy-relevant receivers next year. We know this Saints coaching staff likes Vele because they traded a fourth-round pick and a seventh-round pick for him, and we know there's a solid rapport between him and Shough. Could it translate to WR3/flex production in 2026? It's certainly possible, which means dynasty managers should consider buying low on Vele this offseason.--Andersen Pickard

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Darnell Washington has officially jumped to No. 2 on the depth chart after the team released Jonnu Smith. Washington has never finished higher than TE39 in his three NFL seasons, but that could change next year as he takes on a larger role. He's technically listed behind Pat Freiermuth, but given how often the Steelers deployed two-tight end sets in 2025, we wouldn't be surprised to see Washington consistently get on the field for more than two-thirds of the offensive snaps. A physical specimen at 6-foot-7 and 265 pounds, Washington has shown a tendency to get open and make plays with the ball in his hands. He averaged 2.3 catches and 5.3 fantasy points per game from Weeks 11 through 17 last year, starting to trend up in dynasty leagues. The next big step for Washington is taking on a larger role around the goal line. For someone as tall and large as Washington, we'd expect him to have more than two touchdowns through three seasons. If he can take on a bigger role and get more looks around the end zone in new offensive coordinator Brian Angelichio's system, then Washington could become one of the more intriguing handcuffs in his role alongside Freiermuth. Tight end-needy managers in deep dynasty leagues should consider offering a late-round draft pick for Washington, because he has the potential to offer streaming appeal at times next year.--Andersen Pickard

March 21, 2026

New York Jets wide receiver Adonai Mitchell remains nestled into the No. 2 receiver role, and there's a case to be made that he's trending up in dynasty leagues. The Jets didn't have the flashiest start to free agency, but they arguably upgraded their quarterback position a little by acquiring Geno Smith. Any sort of quarterback change is an upgrade for Mitchell, who spent the back half of last season catching passes from Justin Fields, Tyrod Taylor, and Brady Cook. We also expect the return of Garrett Wilson (knee) to work in Mitchell's favor. While Wilson's return drops Mitchell from first to second on the depth chart -- and therefore could cost him some targets -- it will also allow him to run routes against a team's No. 2 cornerback, rather than a primary, lockdown corner. Mitchell could get open more often, allowing him to use his route-running and playmaking skills to rack up fantasy points. The Jets have made it clear they want to get him involved, too. He had six-plus targets in six of his last seven games in 2025, ranking as the overall WR31 in PPR leagues during that span. In an offense that should be pass-heavy while playing from behind, we expect Mitchell to fetch plenty of targets and carve out a fantasy-relevant role next year. There's still an intriguing window to buy low on Mitchell in dynasty leagues, especially before training camp gets underway.--Andersen Pickard

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley had another strong campaign in 2025, but it was admittedly a little underwhelming by his own standards. Fantasy managers who spent a first-round pick on Barkley after his overall RB2 campaign were also likely a little disappointed to see him drop to RB14 in 2025. Still, that's nothing to scoff at, as Barkley had 1,400+ scrimmage yards and finished as a top-14 running back for the fourth year in a row. His continued dominance should remain present in 2026, when the Eagles roll out a new-look offensive scheme. Head coach Nick Sirianni previously said that new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion will install more zone-blocking concepts, which should benefit Barkley in the running game. It should help the veteran ball-carrier improve upon last year's marks in yards per carry (4.07) and rushing touchdowns (seven). Will we see Barkley get back to the overall RB2 spot? Not necessarily. However, he's firmly in the top-10 conversation, and managers should be willing to buy low on Barkley in dynasty leagues despite him being 29 years old.--Andersen Pickard

March 21, 2026

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson exploded for a breakout campaign in 2025, and he could remain one of the team's top fantasy scorers next year. Marvin Harrison Jr. was the consensus No. 1 receiver in Arizona entering the season, but his struggles created a perfect scenario for Wilson to break out, and the 26-year-old capitalized on this opportunity. Playing most of the season with Jacoby Brissett as his quarterback (plus a few weeks of Kyler Murray), Wilson delivered 78 receptions, 1,006 receiving yards, and seven touchdowns. He finished as the WR10 in PPR leagues, ranking ahead of stars like A.J. Brown, CeeDee Lamb, and Justin Jefferson. This outcome is even more incredible when you consider that Wilson didn't have a single double-digit fantasy performance until Week 11. From Week 11 through Week 18, he was simply otherworldly, averaging 21.2 points per game and ranking as the overall WR2 -- behind Puka Nacua and ahead of Jaxon Smith-Njigba. It would be a little too bold to predict another top-10 season from Wilson, so dynasty managers might consider trying to sell high on the Stanford product. With that said, we wouldn't be surprised to see him still have success in 2026. After all, he'll have much-needed consistency at the quarterback position with Brissett coming back, and Arizona didn't bring in any major weapons on offense to compete with him. An offense-oriented scheme under new head coach Mike LaFleur should bode well for Wilson, too. He remains firmly in the top-24 fantasy receiver conversation for next year.--Andersen Pickard

Chicago Cubs outfielder Michael Conforto has been informed that he will make the Opening Day roster. The Cubs will need to add Conforto to the 40-man roster after signing him to a minor-league deal this offseason. The veteran outfielder slashed .241/.290/.345 with one RBI in 11 games this spring. He hasn't been lighting it up with his bat, but the Cubs could use an extra outfielder with Seiya Suzuki (knee) expected to be placed on the injured list. He'll likely platoon with Mike Shaw in right field until Suzuki is ready to play. Conforto is coming off an ugly season with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2025. There's little reason to believe he'll be a reliable contributor after slashing .199/.305/.333 in 138 games last season.--Andy Webb

Baltimore Orioles third baseman Jordan Westburg (elbow) has already been ruled out for Opening Day and is looking at an extended absence. O's general manager Mike Elias told reporters on Saturday that he expects Westburg to be sidelined into May. Westburg is currently working his way back from a partially torn UCL in his elbow. It sounds like Westburg is progressing well right now, but still has a long road ahead of him. His absence figures to mean increased playing time for Coby Mayo at the hot corner. Also, Blaze Alexander and Jeremiah Jackson could see more at-bats while Westburg is sidelined. Fantasy managers holding Westburg on their IL might be waiting until sometime in May to get anything out of him.--Andy Webb

San Antonio Spurs forward/center Victor Wembanyama (ankle) will play Saturday against Indiana after being listed as questionable with right ankle soreness.

Over his last five games, he has averaged 28.8 points, 3.8 three-pointers, 11.2 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.4 steals, and 2.4 blocks in 31.7 minutes. He remains an automatic start in all formats because of his rare ability to contribute across every category. His presence keeps Luke Kornet in a limited reserve role, while De'Aaron Fox and Stephon Castle should continue handling key scoring responsibilities.--Brian Dailisan
