Nashville Predators goaltender Juuse Saros is day-to-day with an upper-body injury, Alex Daugherty of The Tennessean reports. He missed Thursday's matchup with the Seattle Kraken but could be an option over the weekend when Nashville has a back-to-back set. Saros has posted a 24-19-7 record, a 3.14 goals-against average, and a .894 save percentage across 51 starts this season. Justus Annunen was in net on Thursday night and had a good outing with 25 saves in a 3-1 win. The team recalled Matt Murray from the minors to serve as the backup.--Taavi Pailk

New York Yankees top outfield prospect Spencer Jones looked quite comfortable in spring training, but was unable to crack the Opening Day roster due to the depth the Yankees have at the outfield position. Following the re-signing of Cody Bellinger, Jones was poised to begin the 2026 regular season back in the minor leagues once again. In camp, Jones held a .333/.429/.917 slash line with four long balls over just 11 games. However, he was optioned to Triple-A earlier this week but will likely be the first named called as an injury replacement. In 2025, Jones continued to show elite raw power in the minor leagues, launching 19 home runs over a short 67-game stint with Triple-A. However, he carried a hefty 36.6% K%. If Jones can lower his strikeout rate, he should be in the mix to debut in the first half. Given his elite power upside, he is a viable stash option in deeper 15-team leagues ahead of the start of the regular season.--Andy Smith

Chicago Cubs catching prospect Moises Ballesteros was expected to have a role on the team's Opening Day roster, but could have even a larger role in the early part of the campaign following Seiya Suzuki's knee injury. While his timeline has yet to be revealed, Ballesteros could quickly claim the everyday DH spot and face even less competition for at-bats. The young backstop looked quite comfortable in his MLB debut last summer, posting a 298/.394/.474 slash line with two doubles and two home runs. Earlier in the campaign, the No. 1-ranked prospect in the system posted a stellar .316/.385/.473 line with 13 long balls over a 114-game stint. Managers should also closely monitor Ballesteros' usage behind the dish, as he could see his fantasy value soar if he were to gain catcher eligibility in standard leagues. For now, he projects to remain a primary DH for the early part of the season and has high-end streaming value in 12+ team formats.--Andy Smith

Boston Red Sox left-handed pitching prospect Payton Tolle is unlikely to break camp with the MLB roster and is emerging as a top early-season stash candidate. Throughout spring training, the 6-foot-6 southpaw has looked quite comfortable, logging 10 2/3 innings to the tune of a 2.53 ERA with a 0.84 WHIP. During this stint, he has totaled 13 punchouts while allowing just one free pass. Last summer, Tolle made his MLB debut but stumbled in his first taste of action, carrying a high 6.06 ERA with a 1.59 WHIP over 16 1/3 innings. However, he did manage to strike out 19 hitters, showcasing his raw upside. With Johan Oviedo slated to take the final spot in the starting rotation, Tolle will likely begin the regular season at Triple-A but could be called to make a start in Boston early in the first half. Given his strikeout potential, he is worth stashing in 12+ team leagues ahead of Opening Day.--Andy Smith

Arizona Diamondbacks shortstop prospect Demetrio Crisantes will begin the 2026 regular season at the Double-A level. Crisantes spent his entire 2025 campaign at High-A but showed enough development to move up to the next level in the Arizona system. Last summer, Crisantes appeared in only 34 High-A games while dealing with a shoulder injury, but he was productive during this stint. The infielder would hold a .252/.358/.415 slash line with eight doubles, four home runs, and six stolen bases. In 2024, he would spend most of his campaign at Low-A Visalia and carried an elite .907 OPS over a 63-game stint. While the former seventh-round pick is unlikely to make his MLB debut this summer, he remains on track for a 2027 promotion and is a name to continue to monitor in dynasty formats.--Andy Smith

St. Louis Cardinals outfield prospect Nathan Church is in strong consideration to break camp with the MLB roster, according to Bill Ladson of MLB.com. Church has put together an impressive showing in spring training and could find a lead role on a rebuilding club in 2026. Through 14 games, Church has held a .313/.436/.469 line with a .905 OPS, one home run, and two stolen bases. The 25-year-old made his MLB debut last summer and posted a modest .279/.254/.250 line with one stolen base and one round-tripper. He spent most of the 2025 campaign with Triple-A Memphis, where he carried a dominant .335/.400/.521 line. Given that Lars Nootbaar (heel) is unavailable to open the campaign, Church could slot in as the everyday left fielder to begin the season.--Andy Smith

Colorado Rockies first base prospect Cole Carrigg was optioned to minor league camp on Thursday evening. The team's No. 6-ranked prospect on MLB.com was in the mix to break camp with the MLB roster but will instead begin the campaign in the minor leagues. Carrigg joined the Rockies with the 65th overall selection in the 2023 MLB Draft. The 23-year-old spent his entire 2025 campaign with Double-A but could be in the mix to make his Triple-A debut in the coming weeks. Across 123 games with Double-A Hartford, Carrigg held a .237/.316/.394 line with a .710 OPS. During this stint, the first baseman would hit 15 home runs, swipe 46 bags, and hold a 145:45 K:BB. Managers should monitor his status as he could contend for a second-half MLB debut.--Andy Smith

Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze will be tasked with handling more volume in 2026 after the team traded away DJ Moore this offseason. Odunze got off to an incredibly hot start last year, ranking as the overall WR3 through the first four weeks. However, the Bears then had their bye week, and he averaged just three catches per game the rest of the way. Things got worse for the former first-round pick as he suffered a stress fracture in his foot prior to Week 14 and missed the final five regular-season contests. He was one of the few skill players who didn't make a major leap under first-year head coach Ben Johnson, finishing the year with a modest 44 catches, 661 yards, and six touchdowns. He was the WR41 overall, finishing outside the top 40 fantasy receivers for the second year in a row. While Odunze's 2025 season was forgettable, fantasy managers should feel optimistic about his future outlook. First of all, he's healthy; it's always a good sign for players to get a clean bill of health entering the offseason. Furthermore, he's expected to fetch even more volume as the Bears look to replace Moore and his 85 vacated targets. Some of that volume will go to rookie breakouts Luther Burden III and Colston Loveland, but a significant amount should head Odunze's way, too. The 23-year-old should be drafted as a top-36 fantasy receiver in 2026 redraft leagues. In dynasty formats, he has quickly become an intriguing buy-low candidate given his subpar results in 2025 and the likelihood that he'll bounce back in 2026.--Andersen Pickard

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield already delivered subpar results during the 2025 season, and moving forward, he'll also be without one of his favorite targets. Mike Evans departed for the San Francisco 49ers in free agency, causing Mayfield to lose a perennial 1,000-yard threat with major touchdown upside. The veteran quarterback was the overall QB10 in 2023 and QB4 in 2024, but he fell to QB12 with 27 total touchdowns, 14 turnovers, and 36 sacks last year. We could still see Mayfield rank as a top-12 quarterback in 2026, especially with Zac Robinson replacing Josh Grizzard as the Bucs' offensive coordinator. However, it's going to be tougher for him to routinely carve up defenses without Evans at his disposal. Fortunately for Mayfield, the Bucs have other key pass-catching weapons. Chris Godwin Jr. remains a productive veteran, and Emeka Egbuka flashed glimpses of being a Rookie of the Year candidate in 2025. If Godwin can stay healthy for a full season and Egbuka can take a substantial second-year leap, Tampa Bay may be able to counteract the effect of Evans' departure, vaulting Mayfield back into the top-10 range. There's a wide range of possible outcomes for the former first-round pick, and depending on the asking price, he could be an appealing buy-low target in dynasty leagues this offseason.--Andersen Pickard

Buffalo Bills running back Ray Davis is one of the most appealing handcuffs in fantasy football. Not only does he play for a highly productive offense, but he runs behind one of the game's highest-scoring running backs. However, managers who invested in Davis' upside as a handcuff have been forced to exercise extreme patience. We haven't yet seen him step into the lead-back role for an extended period of time, as James Cook has missed just one game throughout his four-year NFL career. It's not like Davis has standalone value when Cook is healthy, so he and his managers continue to just wait for an opportunity. The 26-year-old ended up finishing 2025 with just 275 rushing yards, 86 receiving yards, and a pair of touchdowns, ranking as the RB61 in PPR leagues. Now, he's halfway through his rookie contract but remains in a familiar position. He's buried in the backup role as long as Cook is healthy. The best course of action for fantasy managers is to buy Davis for cheap if you also have Cook on your roster. He offers more value to you as a handcuff than to other managers as a mere bench piece, so you can justify trading a late-round pick for him. If you don't have Cook, though, it doesn't make much sense just to trade for Davis in hopes that he maybe has an unforeseen breakout game here and there.--Andersen Pickard

Athletics shortstop Jacob Wilson, who finished second in the American League Rookie of the Year voting in 2025, is having a forgettable spring training, hitting .229 (8-for-35) with a home run, five RBI, three runs scored, and one stolen base in 39 plate appearances over 14 Cactus League games going into Thursday's action. Fantasy managers shouldn't be too concerned with the results. The 23-year-old former sixth overall pick in 2023 out of Grand Canyon University had an excellent first full year in the big leagues in 2025, slashing .311/.355/.444 with an .800 OPS, 13 home runs, 63 RBI, 62 runs scored, and five stolen bases in 523 plate appearances over 125 games played. Wilson doesn't have a ton of power, but he does make elite contact and is one of the hardest hitters to strike out -- he fanned just 39 times in 486 at-bats last year. A fractured forearm didn't help Wilson finish strong last year, but there's still a lot to like with him as a No. 2 fantasy shortstop for his high average and counting stats in one of the most hitter-friendly ballparks in the league in Sacramento. RotoBaller has Wilson ranked as the No. 18 SS.--Keith Hernandez

Boston Red Sox shortstop Trevory Story was held out of a third straight Grapefruit League game over the weekend, with the Red Sox "monitoring Story's workload" in an effort to keep him fresh going into the start of the 2026 regular season next week, a club source told Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com. Story has played in 11 Grapefruit League games this year and has hit a strong .424 (14-for-33) with no homers, four doubles, three triples, two RBI, six runs scored, and a stolen base in 34 plate appearances. The 33-year-old two-time All-Star and two-time Silver Slugger winner had two injury-plagued seasons for Boston in 2023 and 2024 before rebounding to hit .263/.308/.433 with a .741 OPS, 25 home runs, 96 RBI, a career-high 31 stolen bases, and 91 runs scored in 157 regular-season games in 2025. Boston is planning to give Story a "little more rest in 2026," which has started this spring. Story showed he can still deliver power/speed numbers for fantasy managers last year, but his lengthy injury history and advanced age make him a pretty big injury risk and more of a low-end starting shortstop option in fantasy leagues.--Keith Hernandez

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase continued to produce at a high level in 2025. Even with inconsistent quarterback play, Chase caught 125 passes for 1,412 yards and eight touchdowns over 16 games, ranking as the WR4 in PPR leagues. He didn't replicate his overall WR1 finish from 2024, but he still offered top-tier results for his fantasy managers down the stretch. Most importantly, Chase didn't let quarterback issues alter his productivity too much. Sure, he looked much better when Joe Burrow was healthy, but he still ranked as a WR1 when catching passes from Jake Browning and Joe Flacco. With Burrow entering the offseason on a clean bill of health, Chase finds himself back in the high-end WR1 tier. In fact, he has the potential to rank as the overall WR1 as long as Burrow stays healthy for most or all of the 2026 campaign. The LSU product has been a top-12 fantasy receiver in all five of his pro campaigns, as well as a top-five receiver in three of the five. He remains a hot commodity in the first round of redraft leagues going forward, and he's (justifiably) one of the most expensive trade targets in dynasty formats.--Andersen Pickard

Dallas Cowboys running back Javonte Williams remains the workhorse option heading into the 2026 season. Williams enjoyed a career resurgence during his first season in Dallas, totaling 1,201 rushing yards, 137 receiving yards, and 13 touchdowns. He was the overall RB12 in PPR leagues, setting the best mark of his career to this point. For his efforts, Williams was rewarded with a three-year, $24 million contract that assures he's the Cowboys' primary ball-carrier for years to come. We do expect Jaydon Blue to get more involved going forward, but he's more of a change-of-pace and handcuff. Blue isn't going to threaten Williams' role in 2026. As a result, Williams remains a fringe top-12 fantasy running back with tremendous touchdown upside in a high-scoring Cowboys offense. It doesn't make sense to buy Williams at his elevated price in dynasty leagues, but it's also too early to sell high on him. He's firmly in the "hold" range this offseason.--Andersen Pickard

New York Mets third baseman Bo Bichette hit his first home run of spring training on Tuesday in the Grapefruit League game against the Miami Marlins, going 2-for-3 with a walk, a double, and five RBI. The 28-year-old two-time All-Star is starting to get a little more comfortable at the plate and at defense at the hot corner for the Mets with a week to go until Opening Day. Bichette came into Thursday's spring action hitting .267 (8-for-30) with a homer, eight RBI, four runs scored, four walks, and five strikeouts in 12 games played. He bounced back from an injury-plagued 2024 campaign to slash .311/.357/.483 with an .840 OPS, 18 home runs, 94 RBI, 78 runs scored, and four steals in 139 regular-season games in 2025 in his final year in Toronto. Bichette should give fantasy managers a high floor with his strong contact skills, midrange power, and reliable counting stats in another strong lineup in Queens. He'll also provide shortstop eligibility to begin the year for fantasy managers. Bichette doesn't have the elite power/speed profile of the high-end fantasy shortstops, which is why he's more of a midrange fantasy target at shortstop/third base.--Keith Hernandez

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston had the best season of his young career in 2025, and he could make an even bigger impact with a potentially larger target share next year. Johnson finished his third NFL campaign with 51 catches, 735 yards, and eight touchdowns. This ended up being just four fewer catches and 24 more yards than his 2024 marks, as well as the same number of trips to the end zone. His 2025 stats resulted in a career-best WR34 finish. The 24-year-old continued to deal with some of the struggles that plagued him at the start of his career, including drops. However, he has started to show signs of turning the corner and being a productive fantasy option week in and week out. Now, Johnston could be headed for even more volume after teammate Keenan Allen hit free agency. Allen leaves behind a whopping 112 vacated targets that will likely be allocated to some combination of Johnston, Ladd McConkey, and Tre' Harris. We wouldn't be surprised to see Johnston get triple-digit targets in 2026, and if his hands become a little more reliable, he could push for 1,000 yards. All in all, he has top-30 receiver upside heading into his fourth NFL season, especially with Allen no longer stealing volume.--Andersen Pickard

Los Angeles Angels manager Kurt Suzuki said that left-hander Yusei Kikuchi will start the second game of the season in Houston against the Astros on Friday, March 27, even though he only threw 64 pitches in his Cactus League outing on Thursday night against the Kansas City Royals, according to Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register. Kikuchi told Suzuki that he'll be a full-go next week. The 34-year-old southpaw allowed three runs on seven hits while striking out five and walking none in four innings across two outings for Team Japan in the World Baseball Classic this spring. Kikuchi was an All-Star for the second time in his career in 2025 in his first year in Anaheim, going 7-11 with a 3.99 ERA (4.23 FIP) and 1.42 WHIP with 174 strikeouts and 74 walks in 178 1/3 innings over 33 starts. He allowed a league-high 180 hits. Although he's not much more than a No. 5 starting pitcher for depth in deeper fantasy leagues, Kikuchi has been durable, making at least 32 starts in each of the last three years.--Keith Hernandez

Los Angeles Chargers safety Derwin James (undisclosed) suffered a minor injury earlier in the week before reporting to the Fanatics Flag Football Classic. As a precaution, six-time Pro Bowler Harrison Smith will step in to replace James. It's unclear what type of injury James is dealing with, but it doesn't sound like it will really affect his preparation this offseason as he gets ready for his eighth year in the NFL in 2026. The 29-year-old former 17th overall pick in 2018 out of Florida State has established himself as one of the best all-around safeties in the league. James has 100-plus total tackles in four of his seven seasons, and he racked up a healthy 94 tackles (50 solo), two sacks, six tackles for loss, eight QB hits, a career-high three interceptions, seven pass breakups, and a forced fumble in 16 regular-season starts in 2025 for the Bolts. He was the No. 20 fantasy defensive back in IDP scoring and should once again be a strong target at DH in the same formats in 2026 if he's fully healthy.--Keith Hernandez

New York Mets catcher Francisco Alvarez (back) was pulled early from Thursday night's Grapefruit League game against the Houston Astros with back tightness, manager Carlos Mendoza told Will Sammon of The Athletic. The skipper called it a precautionary move to pull Alvarez from the game, and the catcher said he would have continued playing if it was the regular season. The oft-injured 24-year-old is not scheduled to play on Friday. Alvarez struck out in his only plate appearance of the game before being replaced. At the moment, it doesn't look like anything that will keep him from playing on Opening Day next week, but it's something to keep an eye on. He came into Thursday's game with a strong .381 average (8-for-21) with a homer and four RBI in nine Grapefruit League games. Alvarez has breakout potential because of his above-average power from the right side for a catcher, but he's also a pretty big risk because of his lengthy injury history. The Venezuelan catcher had 25 homers in 2023 but has 22 in the last two seasons combined, and only played in 76 games in 2025 due to injuries.--Keith Hernandez

Phoenix Suns forward Amir Coffey (ankle) will not return to Thursday's game against the Spurs after suffering a left ankle sprain, finishing with two assists and one rebound in six minutes. Coffey had just reentered the rotation due to multiple injuries but was unable to capitalize on the opportunity and does not carry fantasy value at this stage of the fantasy playoffs. His absence could help secure minutes for Ryan Dunn and Rasheer Fleming in deeper rotations, while Devin Booker and Jalen Green should continue handling the bulk of the offensive workload.--Brian Dailisan

After posting a career-low .674 OPS across 614 plate appearances in 2024, Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer engineered a remarkable resurgence in his age-35 season in 2025. Across 586 trips to the plate, Springer slashed .309/.399/.550 with 32 home runs, 84 RBI, 106 runs scored, and 18 stolen bases. Springer's barrel rate soared to a career-high 15.8%, and his hard-hit rate jumped to 46.7%, his first time cracking the 44% mark. Springer benefited from a .340 batting average on balls in play, significantly better than his career BABIP of .298. He's likely in line for regression in the batting average category as a result. However, he should still be able to post quality power numbers, even if his underlying metrics slide back towards his career norms. As long as Springer can avoid injury and significant age-related decline in his age-36 season, he looks like a capable starting fantasy outfielder across all league formats entering 2026.--Will Brady

Across 649 plate appearances in 2025, Chicago Cubs second baseman Nico Hoerner hit .297/.345/.394 with seven home runs, 61 RBI, 89 runs scored, and 29 stolen bases. The 28-year-old's lack of power limits his fantasy upside, and it's a feature of his profile that appears extremely unlikely to change in 2026. Hoerner owns a minuscule career barrel rate of 1.9%, and he's hit just 36 total home runs across nearly 2,900 career MLB plate appearances. However, Hoerner has logged 123 stolen bases over the past four seasons, making him one of the more reliable sources of speed in fantasy baseball. He's also a lifetime .282 hitter whose strong defense keeps him in the Cubs lineup on an everyday basis and allows him to rack up counting stats. Hoerner is not a perfect fit on all rosters, but he still profiles as a top-five fantasy second baseman heading into 2026.--Will Brady

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba did it all in 2025 in just his third year in the NFL after the Seahawks took him 20th overall in the 2023 draft out of Ohio State. Smith-Njigba set career-highs across the board, led the NFL with 1,793 receiving yards, and capped it all off by winning a Super Bowl ring and the Offensive Player of the Year award. The 24-year-old caught 119 of his 163 targets and added 10 touchdowns in 17 regular-season starts. He added 17 catches for another 199 yards and two touchdowns in three playoff games. There's a good chance JSN will be one of the first receivers off the board in the first couple of rounds of fantasy football drafts later this year. He also had 1,000 receiving yards last year and now has 3,551 yards and 20 touchdowns on 282 receptions in 51 games in his first three years in the NFL. Smith-Njigba has quickly become an elite threat at his position with tremendous yards-after-the-catch ability.--Keith Hernandez

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow has long tantalized fantasy managers with his immense upside and frustrated them with his inability to make it through a full season without getting injured. 2025 was more of the same for the 32-year-old, as he posted a 4-3 record with a 3.19 ERA, 1.10 WHIP, and 106 strikeouts across 90 1/3 innings (18 starts). Across 10 MLB seasons, Glasnow has never made more than 22 starts or thrown more than 134 innings. Still, the veteran right-hander is currently healthy as 2026 Opening Day approaches. Glasnow has recorded five consecutive seasons with an ERA of 3.53 or less and eight straight campaigns with a strikeout rate of 29% or higher, making him very difficult for fantasy managers to pass up. All in all, Glasnow remains a high-risk, high-reward starting pitcher option heading into 2026.--Will Brady

The Kansas City Chiefs failed to make the postseason for the first time in a decade in 2025, and star quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) also tore his ACL and LCL late in the year. Yup, it was a season Chiefs fans would like to forget. Mahomes ended up playing in 14 games in his ninth year in the league, completing a career-low 62.7% of his passes for 3,587 yards, 22 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions. His 22 TD passes were his lowest since his rookie season, when he appeared in just one game. The 30-year-old added 64 carries for a career-high 422 rushing yards and five touchdowns to finish just inside the top 12 at the position in 2025. Mahomes is hoping he'll be fully recovered from knee surgery for the start of the 2026 season this fall, but it's not a guarantee. We wouldn't bet against the six-time Pro Bowler, two-time All-Pro, and three-time Super Bowl MVP, but Mahomes' injury uncertainty definitely puts him on more of the low end of QB1 options for the upcoming fantasy football season. If the gunslinger's mobility is affected at all next season, his fantasy ceiling and floor will definitely be lowered.--Keith Hernandez
