Carolina Panthers running back
Chuba Hubbard was one of the breakout success stories of the 2024 season, recording 1,366 yards from scrimmage and 11 touchdowns on 293 touches across 15 games. However, Hubbard missed time early in the 2025 season with a calf injury and had his starting job usurped by fellow back
Rico Dowdle. Hubbard finished the year with just 734 scrimmage yards and four touchdowns on 164 touches across 15 games played. Still, Hubbard may have a chance to reclaim the RB1 role in Carolina in 2026, as Dowdle recently departed the Panthers for the Pittsburgh Steelers in free agency. Barring any further backfield additions, Hubbard's main competition in Carolina appears to be Jonathan Brooks and
Trevor Etienne, who have combined for 29 career carries so far in their NFL careers. If Hubbard finds his way back to the usage he saw in 2024, he could easily re-emerge as a viable fantasy running back in 2026.

Sacramento Kings forward
Keegan Murray (ankle) has been cleared for contact basketball activities, the team announced. He is making "good progress" in his recovery from a left ankle sprain. Although the team provided an encouraging update, the Kings have nothing left to play for and may decide to keep Murray out until the end of the season. There are nine more games remaining for Sacramento, starting with Thursday's matchup against the Orlando Magic. Murray has had a tough campaign, shooting a career-low 27.7 percent from three-point range. He has averaged 14.0 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks per game.

Sacramento Kings point guard
Killian Hayes (toe) has been tagged as questionable on the injury report ahead of Thursday's meeting with the Orlando Magic. The 24-year-old is dealing with toe inflammation, which could keep him sidelined for a second consecutive game. The Kings have already ruled out
Russell Westbrook (toe) for the game, so
Devin Carter could have a busy night as the starting point guard. He finished Tuesday's heavy loss to Charlotte with 18 points, three rebounds, three assists, and one steal.

Sacramento Kings forward/center
Precious Achiuwa (back) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Orlando Magic. He's nursing a back problem and might sit out a second consecutive contest. Before being knocked out of the lineup, Achiuwa had an impressive six-game spell, averaging 15.8 points, 10.2 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks. With Achiuwa unavailable, the Kings used
Patrick Baldwin Jr. in the starting unit on Tuesday against Charlotte, but he had an uneventful evening. Across 28 minutes of action, Baldwin Jr. recorded five points, four rebounds, one assist, one steal, and one block.
Dylan Cardwell,
Daeqwon Plowden, and
Doug McDermott also have additional fantasy value without Achiuwa.

March 26, 2026
Orlando Magic guard
Jalen Suggs (illness) is in danger of missing a third consecutive game, as the team has listed him as questionable for Thursday's tilt against the Sacramento Kings. The versatile guard has been feeling under the weather and missed a back-to-back set against Indiana and Cleveland at the start of the week.
Jevon Carter and
Jamal Cain have shared starts during Suggs' absence. After Carter's two-point dud on Monday night against Indiana, Cain got the nod on Tuesday and delivered a strong performance against Cleveland with 17 points, six rebounds, and three assists. Carter was productive off the bench, so it seems likely that Magic head coach Jamahl Mosley won't tinker with his lineup if Suggs remains out against Sacramento.

March 26, 2026
Orlando Magic guard
Anthony Black (abdomen) won't be in action on Thursday against the Sacramento Kings, missing an 11th consecutive contest. The 22-year-old remains without a timeline for his return, but his next opportunity to rejoin the lineup will be on Sunday against the Toronto Raptors. In Black's absence,
Tristan da Silva is poised to make another start. He's kicked off this week with two impressive performances, averaging 19.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 4.0 assists across matchups with Indiana and Cleveland. It should be another fun night for da Silva and the Magic against the Kings, who give up the third-most points in the league at 121.2 per game.
--Taavi PailkSource: NBA Injury Report
March 26, 2026
Orlando Magic forward
Franz Wagner (ankle) will remain out on Thursday night against the Sacramento Kings. An ankle injury will keep him sidelined for a 19th consecutive game. While it's unclear when Wagner will return, his practice stint with the G League's Osceola Magic earlier this week suggests that the German star is nearing his comeback. Orlando will wrap up this week on Sunday with a game against the Toronto Raptors. With
Anthony Black (abdomen) also out,
Tristan da Silva will continue to have an expanded role.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward
Anthony Edwards (knee) could return to action as soon as this Saturday against the Detroit Pistons, ESPN's Shams Charania reports. On March 17, the team announced that Edwards had been diagnosed with right knee inflammation and would be re-evaluated in 1-2 weeks. Currently, he is considered day-to-day. Edwards missed a fifth consecutive game on Wednesday against the Houston Rockets. Minnesota has gone 4-1 without him but will be desperate to get its star man back. If Edwards' return doesn't come on Saturday, he will likely be good to go on Monday against the Dallas Mavericks.

New York Rangers center Mika Zibanejad scored twice on Wednesday night against the Toronto Maple Leafs, but it wasn't enough as his club lost the contest 4-3. Although his team sits in last place in the Eastern Conference, Zibanejad has had a good season with 32 goals and 69 points in 71 games played. He has seven goals and six assists in his last 10 games as he looks to finish the season strong.

March 25, 2026
Boston Bruins forward Pavel Zacha had an assist and then the overtime game-winning goal as the Bruins defeated the Buffalo Sabres 4-3 on Wednesday night. Zacha continued his hot streak with his third multi-point game in his last five games played. Pavel has already set a career high with 24 goals scored and is just five points away from tying his career high of 59 with still a couple of weeks left to play this season.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver
Jordan Addison posted career-low numbers across the board in 2025, finishing the year with 42 receptions for 610 yards and three touchdowns on 79 targets across 14 games. Some of Addison's struggles were self-inflicted, as he was suspended for the first three games of 2025 due to a violation of the league's substance abuse policy. However, Addison was also negatively impacted by the extremely inconsistent quarterback play Minnesota received from the combination of
J.J. McCarthy,
Carson Wentz, and
Max Brosmer. While the Vikings still have question marks at the quarterback position, the team's offseason acquisition of former Arizona Cardinals signal-caller
Kyler Murray should give it a more stable passing game floor. Addison recorded nearly 1,800 receiving yards and 19 touchdowns over his first two seasons in the NFL, so an improved offensive environment in Minnesota should give him a chance to return to previously demonstrated levels of production. Coming off a down year, Addison could be a solid buy-low target for fantasy managers in dynasty formats.

March 25, 2026
New York Knicks guard
Landry Shamet (knee) will miss a third consecutive game on Thursday against the Charlotte Hornets. The veteran hurt his right knee last week, and it might take a bit of time until Shamet is ready to play again. In the meantime,
Jordan Clarkson and
Jose Alvarado have a chance to make a bigger impact in the rotation. Of the two, Clarkson has performed better in recent games, coming off a 10-point, five-assist outing against the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday night.

A fourth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Tennessee Titans tight end
Gunnar Helm recorded 44 receptions for 357 yards and two touchdowns on 55 targets. While the 23-year-old's numbers may not leap off the page, he established himself as a relatively steady contributor in a Titans offense that was starved for playmakers. Heading into 2026, Helm looks like the clear lead tight end in Tennessee after the team's decision to let former tight end
Chig Okonkwo walk in free agency. In 2025, Helm and Okonkwo combined for 100 receptions, 917 receiving yards, and six touchdowns on 134 targets. While Helm will not absorb all of Okonkwo's production, he has a clear pathway to fantasy upside. In dynasty formats, fantasy managers may want to consider buying low on Helm ahead of the 2026 season.
--Will BradySource: RotoBaller
March 25, 2026
Portland Trail Blazers guard/forward
Vit Krejci (calf) won't be part of the action on Wednesday night against the Milwaukee Bucks. He will sit out a sixth consecutive game due to a left calf contusion. Portland initially listed Krejci as questionable for the contest, so his return looks to be close and might happen later this week. The Trail Blazers will return to action on Friday against the Dallas Mavericks. Krejci has averaged 7.4 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 1.8 assists in 19.9 minutes since joining the team from Atlanta on Feb. 1.

March 25, 2026
Denver Nuggets forward
Peyton Watson (hamstring) will play on Wednesday against the Dallas Mavericks. Late last week, Watson returned from a hamstring injury, and Denver decided not to use him on Tuesday when the team kicked off a back-to-back with a victory over Phoenix. Watson's return aligns with
Aaron Gordon's (hamstring) exit. He will help cover for his absence, along with
Spencer Jones and
Cameron Johnson. Despite missing six weeks, Watson was in fine form on Sunday against Portland, notching 14 points, six rebounds, and three assists in 20 minutes.

Across 12 games in 2025, Buffalo Bills tight end
Dalton Kincaid hauled in 39 receptions for 571 yards and five touchdowns on 49 targets. While the 26-year-old's averages of 14.6 yards per reception and 11.7 yards per target both represented career bests, volume continues to be a problem for Kincaid's fantasy profile. For one, Kincaid has missed nine games over the past two seasons due to hamstring, oblique, and knee injuries. Even when on the field in that stretch, Kincaid has averaged under five targets per game. In 2025, Kincaid played fewer than 50% of Buffalo's offensive snaps in 10 out of the 12 games he was active for. In 2026, Kincaid could fall even further down the team's target pecking order following the Bills' offseason trade acquisition of former Chicago Bears wide receiver
DJ Moore. In dynasty formats, Kincaid's stock is fading due to persistent injury and usage question marks.
--Will BradySource: RotoBaller
March 25, 2026
Denver Nuggets forward/center
Aaron Gordon (hamstring) has been ruled out for the second leg of a back-to-back on Wednesday night against the Dallas Mavericks. He carried a questionable tag on the initial injury report. Gordon hasn't played in both games of a back-to-back set since January, so his absence was expected against Dallas.
Peyton Watson (hamstring) sat out Tuesday's win over Phoenix and will be Gordon's natural replacement in the lineup.
--Taavi PailkSource: NBA Injury Report
March 25, 2026
Toronto Raptors center
Jakob Poeltl (back) will suit up on Wednesday night against the Los Angeles Clippers, Law Murray of The Athletic reports. The Austrian big man has shaken off a questionable tag and will return from a one-game absence. As a result,
Sandro Mamukelashvili will land back on the bench, while
Collin Murray-Boyles' fantasy potential will also be limited. Poeltl has averaged 11.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 1.2 blocks in 26.5 minutes since the All-Star break.
--Taavi PailkSource: Law Murray
March 25, 2026
Chicago Bears tight end
Colston Loveland got off to a slow start to his NFL career in 2025, recording just 11 receptions over his first six games played. However, the 21-year-old finished the year on a tear. Across his final 10 games played, Loveland hauled in 47 catches for 597 yards and six touchdowns on 64 targets. Loveland also recorded 193 receiving yards and was targeted 25 times across Chicago's two postseason contests. While the Bears have multiple capable pass catchers in wide receivers
Rome Odunze and
Luther Burden III, the team recently traded away veteran wideout
DJ Moore. Without Moore, Loveland should only be moving up the target pecking order in Chicago. Loveland profiles as a high-end dynasty tight end coming off his encouraging rookie campaign.
--Will BradySource: RotoBaller
March 25, 2026
Toronto Raptors guard
Immanuel Quickley (foot) will remain out for a second consecutive game on Wednesday against the Los Angeles Clippers, Law Murray of The Athletic reports. The explosive guard is dealing with right foot plantar fasciitis and was downgraded from questionable to doubtful in the afternoon.
Jamal Shead replaced Quickley in the starting unit on Monday against Utah and is likely to get the nod again. As a starter, Shead has recorded 12.1 points, 2.4 rebounds, 8.4 assists, and 1.0 steals per game this season.
--Taavi PailkSource: Law Murray
March 25, 2026
Toronto Raptors guard/forward
Brandon Ingram (heel) will return from a one-game absence on Wednesday against the Los Angeles Clippers, Law Murray of The Athletic reports. He sat out Monday's win over Utah due to inflammation in his right heel. Meanwhile, Toronto has ruled
Immanuel Quickley (foot) out for a second consecutive game, meaning Ingram could have extra offensive duties on Wednesday night. With Ingram back,
Ja'Kobe Walter will drop to the bench, but he should remain a significant piece of the rotation.
--Taavi PailkSource: Law Murray
March 25, 2026
Across 16 games in 2025, Buffalo Bills wide receiver
Khalil Shakir recorded 72 receptions for 719 yards and four touchdowns on 95 targets. The 26-year-old has emerged as a steady contributor in Buffalo in recent years, recording back-to-back seasons as the team leader in both targets and receiving yards. However, Shakir's role could be slightly minimized in 2026 following the team's recent acquisition of former Chicago Bears wide receiver
DJ Moore. Shakir profiles more as a possession wideout than a downfield or red zone threat, so a reduction in his targets could further reduce his already middling fantasy production. RotoBaller currently ranks Shakir as the 56th-best wide receiver for dynasty formats.
--Will BradySource: RotoBaller
March 25, 2026
Milwaukee Bucks center
Myles Turner (calf) will miss Wednesday's contest against the Portland Trail Blazers. He has been ruled out after the team added Turner to the injury report late with a questionable designation.
Bobby Portis (wrist) and
Kyle Kuzma (Achilles) also won't play, leaving the Bucks' frontcourt shorthanded.
Jericho Sims will likely take over from Turner as the starting center and may handle a heavy workload.

Milwaukee Bucks forwards
Bobby Portis (wrist) and
Kyle Kuzma (Achilles) won't play on Wednesday night against the Portland Trail Blazers. Kuzma will be sidelined for a second consecutive game, while Portis won't be able to help his team for the second time in three games. Without the duo,
Pete Nance,
Ousmane Dieng, and
Taurean Prince are in a position to receive more playing time on Wednesday night. Meanwhile,
Ryan Rollins and
Gary Trent Jr. will get more work on the offensive end.

March 25, 2026
Dallas Mavericks guard
Brandon Williams (concussion) will rejoin the lineup on Wednesday against the Denver Nuggets. He has missed three games due to a concussion. Williams has been an impactful bench piece for the Mavericks this season, averaging 12.8 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 3.8 assists in 22.0 minutes per game. Before being hurt on March 16 against New Orleans, Williams had scored 10-plus points in 14 consecutive outings.

Los Angeles Clippers forward
Kawhi Leonard (ankle) will be active on Wednesday night against the Toronto Raptors, Farbod Esnaashari of RTB Sports reports. He will make a third straight appearance despite dealing with a left ankle sprain. Leonard has been very effective this month, averaging 29.4 points, 5.9 rebounds, 3.4 assists, and 1.9 steals while shooting 54.3 percent from the field. He has scored at least 25 points in 10 consecutive appearances.
--Taavi PailkSource: Farbod Esnaashari
March 25, 2026
Dallas Mavericks center
Daniel Gafford (shoulder) has been ruled out for Wednesday's clash against the Denver Nuggets. He was initially listed as questionable due to a right shoulder sprain. The big man suffered the injury in Monday's loss to Golden State.
Marvin Bagley III and
Dwight Powell will move up on the depth chart on Wednesday night, with one of them starting in Gafford's place. Bagley is the better fantasy option, even if he will be part of the second unit.
--Taavi PailkSource: Dallas Mavericks PR
March 25, 2026
Portland Trail Blazers forward
Jerami Grant (foot) will play on Wednesday against the Milwaukee Bucks. The veteran has missed two games due to a sore left foot and was initially listed as questionable for Wednesday's contest. Grant's return will affect the playing time of
Sidy Cissoko and
Kris Murray. This month, Grant has been inconsistent, but he was on fire in his most recent outing, notching 26 points on 62.5 percent shooting against Minnesota. One of Grant's best offensive performances of the season was against Milwaukee earlier in the season when he had 35 points in 31 minutes.
--Taavi PailkSource: Danny Marang
March 25, 2026
Portland Trail Blazers center
Robert Williams III (knee) will play on Wednesday against the Milwaukee Bucks, Danny Marang of 1080 The Fan Portland reports. He missed the second game of a back-to-back on Monday against Brooklyn but has been cleared to return to the lineup on Wednesday. The team initially listed Williams III as questionable. Williams III will replace
Yang Hansen as
Donovan Clingan's backup. Despite coming off the bench, Williams III has averaged nearly a double-double this month, posting 9.0 points and 9.4 rebounds per game.

New Orleans Pelicans guard/forward
Trey Murphy III (ankle) is listed as questionable on the injury report ahead of the first leg of a back-to-back on Thursday against the Detroit Pistons. He is nursing a right ankle sprain and might miss his first game of the month.
Dejounte Murray (Achilles) is also questionable for Thursday's game, so the Pelicans could be without two of their leading players.
Jeremiah Fears and
Yves Missi will take on larger workloads if New Orleans isn't at full strength, while
Jordan Poole may also re-enter the rotation.
