Los Angeles Chargers general manager Joe Hortiz isn't ruling out a reunion with free-agent veteran wide receiver
Keenan Allen, according to Daniel Popper of The Athletic. "I wouldn't say the room is complete," Hortiz said. The most interesting available receiver in free agency that the Chargers could consider is
Tyreek Hill (knee), who has previous experience in new offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel's scheme. In addition to Allen and Hill,
Jauan Jennings and
Deebo Samuel Sr. are available and could be added to a WR room in L.A. that includes
Ladd McConkey,
Quentin Johnston, and
Tre' Harris. McConkey saw his fantasy stock fall considerably in 2025 in his sophomore season with the return of Allen, who finished with 81 receptions for 777 yards and four touchdowns in 17 regular-season games in his 13th year in the league after a one-year stay with the Chicago Bears in 2024. Re-signing with the Bolts would probably be the best-case scenario for Allen's 2026 fantasy value as he nears the end of his illustrious career.

Phoenix Suns guard
Grayson Allen (hamstring) is available to play ahead of Sunday's Game 1 against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Allen is back in the mix following a three-game absence due to a hamstring injury. It's unclear if Allen will have his minutes monitored or if he'll be a full-go for this one. Regardless, his presence on the court should mean reduced roles for
Jordan Goodwin,
Collin Gillespie, and
Haywood Highsmith. Allen is a hit-and-miss fantasy option, so he won't be the most trustworthy DFS option for Sunday's slate. His return to the court will make Goodwin a less attractive option as well.

ESPN's Jeff Darlington said he thinks the Philadelphia Eagles will be "operating from a place" that wide receiver
A.J. Brown will not be on their roster for Week 1 of the 2026 regular season this fall. General manager Howie Roseman has refused to give many details this offseason when asked about Brown's status. Additionally, the team acquired wideout
Dontayvion Wicks from the Green Bay Packers. Rumors have swirled about the New England Patriots' and Tennessee Titans' interest in trading for Brown, although nothing has come to fruition yet. All signs are pointing to the Eagles getting much more serious about trading the three-time Pro Bowler after June 1, when it becomes much more financially palatable for them to trade the 28-year-old pass-catcher. Although Brown reached the 1,000-yard mark for the fourth straight season (and in six of his seven NFL seasons), he was unhappy with his offensive role in Philly and had a career-low 12.9 yards per catch in 15 regular-season games. A move to New England would be attractive from a fantasy perspective, but Brown might still be a volatile low-end WR1/high-end WR2 target in fantasy football.

The Tennessee Titans plan to pick up offensive guard Peter Skoronski's fifth-year option for the 2027 season, a source told Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. It will set Skoronski up to make $19.07 million in 2027. The 24-year-old was the 11th overall pick in the first round of the 2023 NFL draft out of Northwestern. In his first three years in the NFL, Skoronski has started all 48 of the games that he's appeared in for Tennessee. It remains to be seen if the Titans will look to get a long-term extension worked out with Skoronski before he enters the fifth and final year of his deal. Since the start of the 2024 regular season, Skoronski has been a staple for Tennessee's offensive line, not missing a single game. Having Skoronski around is a plus for young quarterback
Cameron Ward and a Titans offense that is looking to take a step forward under new coordinator Brian Daboll in 2026.

Despite having an atrocious supporting cast around him for most of the 2025 season, New York Jets running back
Breece Hall still managed to record 1,415 scrimmage yards and five touchdowns on 279 touches across 16 games. The Jets signed Hall to the franchise tag earlier this offseason, and the two sides have yet to work out a long-term extension. While New York could easily still extend Hall at some point before the start of 2026, the 24-year-old's dynasty value would almost certainly benefit from a change of scenery. Hall has proven he can be productive regardless of the situation around him, but his upside is unquestionably limited with the Jets. New York's offense should be more stable with veteran quarterback
Geno Smith under center in 2026. Still, the Jets likely remain at least a year or two away from fielding a high-level unit. Hall may struggle to reach his full dynasty potential without a chance to hit the open market.

Now that the Cincinnati Bengals' acquisition of defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence from the New York Giants is official and he has passed a physical, the Bengals signed him to a one-year, $28 million contract extension on Sunday, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Lawrence is now contractually tied to Cincinnati for the next three seasons after getting his wish and moving out of New York. The Bengals sent the 10th overall pick in this year's NFL draft to the G-Men, who now hold two picks in the first 15 picks next week. The 28-year-old former first-rounder out of Clemson in 2019 was a Pro Bowler from 2022 to 2024, but he had a very disappointing season in his final year with the Giants in 2025, recording just half of a sack with 31 tackles (14 solo) and eight QB hits in 17 starts in his seventh year in the NFL. The Bengals will be hoping that Lawrence, who has 30.5 career sacks, can bounce back in 2026 and help give the team's pass rush a boost now that Trey Hendrickson is no longer in town.

Golden State Warriors center
Kristaps Porzingis is unsure about his future with the organization. Porzingis is an unrestricted free agent, which allows him to sign with any organization. The 30-year-old admitted to enjoying his time with the Warriors, but he wants to take time to look at the whole picture. He wants to prioritize his health, which has been a problem for Porzingis throughout his career. In 15 games with the Warriors, Porzingis averaged 16.1 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 2.3 assists across 23.7 minutes per game. Given his injury history, it's going to be tough for any organization to give him a long-term deal. A return to Golden State makes sense, but the oft-injured center will likely take his time deciding on his future plans.

Colorado Rockies infielder
Willi Castro (hand) is back in the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the division-rival Los Angeles Dodgers and right-hander
Roki Sasaki at Coors Field, according to MLB.com. Castro is starting at shortstop and will hit seventh with regular shortstop
Ezequiel Tovar getting the day off.
Edouard Julien is at second base and is batting leadoff for Colorado. Castro is returning to the starting nine for the first time since suffering a right-hand contusion when he was hit by a pitch on Wednesday. The 28-year-old switch-hitting Puerto Rican outfielder had mostly been playing at second in his first year with the Rockies to begin the 2026 season, but he might be relegated to more of a bench role soon if he doesn't pick things up offensively. Going into Sunday's clash with L.A., Castro has gone just 12-for-56 (.214) with a homer, eight RBI, eight runs scored, and a stolen base. He has never faced Sasaki in his MLB career.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver
Drake London ran into some injury issues with his knee that caused him to miss time down the stretch of the 2025 season. Still, the 24-year-old was highly productive across the 12 games he was active for, recording 68 receptions for 919 yards and seven touchdowns on a whopping 112 targets. London is averaging 9.3 targets per game over the past two seasons and profiles as the clear number one pass-catcher in Atlanta once again in 2026. However, the Falcons' ongoing issues at the quarterback position continue to limit London's upside. Atlanta QB
Michael Penix Jr. (knee) is coming off a torn ACL and was largely ineffective when healthy in 2025, throwing for 1,982 yards and nine touchdowns across nine games. The Falcons signed veteran signal-caller
Tua Tagovailoa in free agency, but the 28-year-old threw 15 interceptions and averaged under seven yards per pass attempt across 14 games with the Miami Dolphins in 2025. London remains a dynasty WR1, but he may struggle to realize his full potential until the Falcons solve the quarterback position.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder
Daulton Varsho (knee) remains out of the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale on the road against the Arizona Diamondbacks, according to MLB.com.
Myles Straw will make the start in center field for Toronto and will bat eighth against D-backs right-hander
Ryne Nelson. Varsho will miss a second straight game after being pulled from Friday's series opener early at Chase Field due to left-knee discomfort. He's considered day-to-day for now, but fantasy managers will want to check back on Monday for an update on his status before the team's series opener on Monday night in Anaheim against the Los Angeles Angels. Varsho played only 71 games in the 2025 regular season due to injuries. In 19 games so far in 2026, he has slashed .262/.333/.462 with three home runs, seven RBI, and eight runs scored. Straw, who is more of a defensive asset for the Jays than an offensive one, should see most of the playing time in center for however long Varsho is out.

Phoenix Suns center
Mark Williams (foot) has been downgraded to out ahead of Sunday's Game 1 against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Williams missed Friday's Play-In victory over the Golden State Warriors due to a lingering foot issue. Now, Williams is set to miss the beginning of this series.
Oso Ighodaro figures to see an increased role in the rotation with Williams unable to go. He finished with 10 points and six rebounds across 26 minutes of action on Friday. He'll likely play a similar role on Sunday, which could make him an interesting low-cost DFS option.
Khaman Maluach could see more minutes off the bench, but it won't be enough to warrant looking at him as a DFS option.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver
Chris Olave re-emerged as a high-value PPR wide receiver in 2025, recording 100 receptions for 1,163 yards and nine touchdowns on 156 targets across 16 games. After a lost season in which injuries forced him to miss nine games in 2024, Olave was able to re-establish himself as the clear number one target in New Orleans. He also got some much-needed help in the quarterback department in the second half of the year after
Tyler Shough took over as the Saints' QB1. Olave's worrying track record of concussion issues remains a red flag for his long-term dynasty outlook. However, he's proven to be an effective high-volume target earner as long as he's on the field. Particularly with the improved offensive environment around him, Olave's value is trending up heading into 2026.

Charlotte Hornets guard
Coby White is set to test the open market this offseason. Although Charlotte will look into bringing back White on a long-term deal. After trading for White at the deadline, Charlotte inherited his Bird rights. That means Charlotte could technically exceed the salary cap to retain White. Given the Hornets' current financial situation, they shouldn't need to do that to re-sign White to a long-term deal. In 21 games with the Hornets, White averaged 15.6 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 3.0 assists with nearly a 40 percent shooting performance from deep. It's unclear what kind of role White would have on this team long-term, but his presence could certainly be an asset. White is from the North Carolina area and appears to have enjoyed his time with the organization. It sounds like a reunion could happen, but it depends on what kind of deal White is seeking in free agency.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back
Bucky Irving was one of the breakout success stories of the 2024 season, recording over 1,500 scrimmage yards and eight touchdowns as a rookie. However, foot and shoulder injuries caused him to miss seven games in 2025 and limited him to just 865 scrimmage yards and four touchdowns for the year. Irving's efficiency as a rusher also plummeted precipitously, as he averaged just 3.4 yards per carry after averaging 5.4 yards per carry in 2024. Irving could easily bounce back with better health in 2026. However, Irving's stature as an undersized back leads to questions about whether he can make it through a full NFL season healthy. Additionally, Tampa Bay signed veteran running back
Kenneth Gainwell to a two-year contract in free agency. Gainwell topped 1,000 scrimmage yards as a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2025, and his presence caps Irving's workload upside. While Irving still carries plenty of fantasy upside, his dynasty value is more of an open question coming off a down season.

The Kansas City Chiefs made one of the biggest moves of the NFL offseason by signing running back
Kenneth Walker III to a three-year, $43 million contract in free agency. Walker III recorded 1,309 scrimmage yards and five touchdowns on 252 touches across 17 games as a member of the Seattle Seahawks in 2025. The 25-year-old did so despite splitting touches with fellow Seahawks back
Zach Charbonnet (knee) for the majority of the year. In Kansas City, Walker III profiles as the clear lead back and could easily top 300 touches for the first time in his career if he can stay healthy. The Chiefs' offense could have some struggles in the early going while star quarterback
Patrick Mahomes (knee) makes his way back from knee surgery. Still, Kansas City should put Walker III in a position to rack up consistent fantasy production. In dynasty formats, Walker III profiles as a major riser following his offseason change of scenery.

The Houston Astros announced on Sunday that they placed outfielder
Joey Loperfido (quadriceps) on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to April 18) with a right-quad muscle strain. In a corresponding move, the Astros recalled right-hander
Jayden Murray from Triple-A Sugar Land. Loperfido injured his quad during Friday's series opener against the St. Louis Cardinals and was held out of action on Saturday. It's unclear if the 26-year-old left-handed-hitting outfielder will be ready to come off the IL in late April when he's eligible to be activated. In the meantime, young outfielder
Brice Matthews figures to see more playing time going forward in Houston's outfield. Lopefido, a former seventh-round selection out of Duke in 2021, is still searching for his first long ball of the 2026 season. Through his first 20 games played, he's gone 15-for-58 (.259) with five doubles, six RBI, seven runs scored, a stolen base, six walks, and 19 strikeouts for Houston.

Orlando Magic guard
Desmond Bane (illness) is listed as probable ahead of Sunday's Game 1 against the Detroit Pistons. Bane is a new addition to the injury report due to what is being considered a minor illness. Barring any setbacks, Bane should be good to go for Sunday's contest. If he's unable to play,
Anthony Black would likely be asked to step up on Sunday. Black could be an interesting DFS option if he is given an expanded role. Bane finished with 13 points, seven rebounds, and three steals across 35 minutes of action during Friday's win over the Charlotte Hornets. He struggled from the floor, going 4-for-14, so he hopes for better results on Sunday.

Denver Broncos quarterback
Bo Nix (ankle) had his 2025 season come to an unfortunate end when he suffered a fractured ankle during his team's AFC Divisional Round win over the Buffalo Bills. However, Nix is expected to be fully ready to go for the start of the 2026 season. Across 17 games in 2025, the 26-year-old completed 63.4% of his pass attempts for 3,931 yards, 25 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions. Nix also rushed for 356 yards and five touchdowns on 83 attempts. While Nix hasn't been particularly efficient (6.5 yards per pass attempt) through the first two years of his NFL career, the Broncos high-volume pass game and Nix's ability to impact the game with his legs allow him to maintain fantasy upside. If the return from ankle injury prevents Nix from being effective as a scrambler, his fantasy production could suffer. Nix's dynasty value is trending slightly downward as he enters his third season in the NFL.

San Francisco Giants infielder
Casey Schmitt has been one of the surprise success stories of the early portion of the 2026 season. Entering play on Sunday, Schmitt was hitting .317/.369/.517 with two home runs, seven RBI, seven runs scored, and one stolen base. The 27-year-old's strong production is supported by his underlying metrics, as he's posted above-average barrel (11.4%) and hard-hit (52.3%) rates. Schmitt has also moved into the heart of the Giants' lineup, which should allow him to rack up counting stats more consistently. While Schmitt has played exclusively at first base and designated hitter in 2026, he's capable of playing every infield spot and still offers fantasy managers multi-positional eligibility. As a cheap depth piece with some upside, Schmitt could be worth targeting on the waiver wire.

Detroit Tigers infielder
Colt Keith has established himself as a key piece of his team's lineup early in 2026, hitting .317/.348/.429 with zero home runs, five RBI, and 10 runs scored across his first 66 plate appearances. Keith hasn't hit for much power in the early going, but his excellent 58.3% hard-hit rate supports his strong batting average. While Keith is looking like a potential breakout candidate early on this season, it's worth noting that he's logged just two plate appearances against left-handed pitching so far this year. Still, even in a platoon role, Keith profiles as a potentially valuable source of batting average for fantasy managers. In leagues where he's not already rostered, Keith could be worth targeting on the waiver wire.

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher
Landen Roupp is off to an excellent start to the 2026 season, as he's posted a 3-1 record with a 2.38 ERA, 0.97 WHIP, and 24 strikeouts across 22 2/3 innings (four starts). The 27-year-old has boosted his strikeout rate from 21.4% in 2025 to 26.7%, and he's also lowered his walk rate to a career-best 7.8%. Roupp has also yet to allow a home run this season, and owns a 50.9% ground ball rate. While Roupp established himself as a solid streaming option for fantasy managers in 2025, he appears to have taken his game to a new level in 2026. Combined with his pitcher-friendly home park in San Francisco, Roupp offers real upside as a waiver-wire target in any league where he's not already rostered.

Detroit Tigers left-hander
Tarik Skubal looked to be in Cy Young form on Saturday night in the team's 4-1 victory over the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park. Skubal allowed only one earned run on four hits while walking two and striking out 10 batters in six innings to pick up his third win of the 2026 season. The talented left-hander was in top form in Beantown, retiring 12 of the first 13 batters he faced in the game, including striking out the side in two of his first four innings. The 29-year-old former ninth-rounder in 2018 out of Seattle University is showing why he's won back-to-back American League Cy Young awards. Through his first five starts in 2026, Skubal is 3-2 with a 2.08 ERA (2.07 FIP), 0.96 WHIP, and 33:6 K:BB in 30 1/3 innings pitched. He's currently tied for the fourth-most strikeouts in the AL. Skubal was the first pitcher off the board in fantasy drafts, and he'll be a must-start again in his next scheduled outing at home in Detroit against the Milwaukee Brewers.

Arizona Diamondbacks utility man
Ildemaro Vargas has played a bench role for the majority of his 10-season MLB career. However, the 34-year-old is off to a red-hot start to the 2026 season, hitting .377/.400/.623 with two home runs, eight RBI, and 11 runs scored across 56 plate appearances. With Diamondbacks first baseman/outfielder
Pavin Smith (elbow) recently hitting the 60-day injured list, Vargas has been getting the chance to play every day. Vargas' overall line is currently buoyed by an unsustainably high .409 batting average on balls in play, so regression is inevitable. Still, Vargas traditionally does a good job of making contact, which gives his batting average a high floor. As long as he continues to produce, Vargas should rack up counting stats in a strong Arizona lineup and offers multi-positional eligibility for fantasy managers. In deeper leagues, Vargas could be worth targeting on the waiver wire.

Atlanta Braves right-handed closer
Raisel Iglesias (shoulder) slept on his shoulder wrong on Friday night, which is why he was unavailable to close out the team's 3-1 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday night, according to Mark Bowman of MLB.com. It remains to be seen if Iglesias will be available for the series finale on Sunday at Citizens Bank Park. With Iglesias unavailable on Saturday, right-hander
Robert Suarez entered in the ninth inning and pitched a clean frame with two strikeouts to pick up his first save as a member of the Braves. Iglesias' shoulder injury doesn't sound very serious, which hopefully means he'll avoid an injured list stint and be available to pitch on Sunday. The 36-year-old Cuban veteran came into the 2026 campaign on shaky ground as a fantasy closer after the Braves added Suarez, but so far, he's thrown 7 2/3 shutout innings with four saves, no walks, and 10 strikeouts in seven appearances. If he continues to pitch like that and stays healthy, Iglesias will continue to be a solid option for saves in fantasy.

Tampa Bay Rays reliever
Edwin Uceta (shoulder) appeared to be on the doorstep of making his 2026 debut, but his rehab hit a setback earlier this week after he experienced renewed soreness in his injured shoulder. Uceta is now reportedly back in Tampa to meet with team doctors. However, if Uceta can avoid being fully shut down, he may still be worth targeting on the waiver wire as a stash candidate. Rays right-hander
Bryan Baker has settled in as the team's primary closer, but Baker currently owns a 4.32 ERA and has already blown two saves so far this season. Uceta was arguably Tampa Bay's most valuable high-leverage reliever in 2025, as he posted a 10-3 record with a 3.79 ERA, 1.17 WHIP, 103 strikeouts, and 21 holds across 76 innings. He's posted strikeout rates north of 32% in consecutive seasons and could easily assume the ninth-inning role for the Rays if he can get back to full health. Pending further news regarding his most recent injury setback, Uceta could still be worth targeting on the waiver wire as a stash candidate.

Chicago White Sox outfielder/second baseman
Sam Antonacci was called up for his MLB debut on Wednesday after posting a .979 OPS across his first 67 plate appearances at Triple-A. However, the 23-year-old has struggled out of the gates in the big leagues with just one hit and one run scored across his first 19 plate appearances. Antonacci is also a speed threat who stole 48 bases in 116 minor league games in 2025, but he's yet to record his first major league steal. On the plus side, Antonacci has drawn two walks and struck out just once. His ability to control the strike zone was one of the biggest reasons for his effectiveness in the minors, as he posted a 13.3% walk rate in 2025. If he continues to make contact and draw walks, Antonacci should pull out of his current skid. He's still a worthy waiver-wire gamble for fantasy managers in need of speed.

The Los Angeles Dodgers officially placed first baseman
Freddie Freeman (personal) on the paternity list on Sunday, per Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic. In a corresponding move, the Dodgers called up outfielder
Ryan Ward from the minors. Freeman could be away from the team for as many as the next three days, so he could return for the tail end of the team's upcoming series on the road against the division-rival San Francisco Giants, which starts on Tuesday. With Freeman unavailable in Sunday's series finale in Denver against the Colorado Rockies, Ward will make the start at first base for the Dodgers and bat seventh against Rockies right-hander
Michael Lorenzen. Freeman, 36, has been his typical All-Star self through the first 20 games of 2026, hitting .296 (24-for-81) with three home runs, 14 RBI, and nine runs scored across 89 plate appearances. Fantasy managers will have to remove him from their lineups for a couple of games, but he should return at some point midway through next week.

The Miami Marlins announced on Sunday that they officially activated outfielder
Kyle Stowers (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list and optioned infielder
Deyvison De Los Santos to Triple-A Jacksonville in a corresponding move. Stowers is making his 2026 season debut on Sunday in the series finale against the visiting Milwaukee Brewers and right-hander
Jacob Misiorowski, playing left field and batting cleanup for the Fish. The 28-year-old All-Star tweaked his hamstring late in spring training and opened the year on the IL, but now he's back and hoping to pick up where he left off in a breakout 2025 season. Stowers, a former second-round pick out of Stanford in 2019, was Miami's lone All-Star representative last year and finished with a .288/.386/.544 slash line, .912 OPS, 25 home runs, 73 RBI, 61 runs, and five steals in 117 games played. Stowers will hit in the heart of the order for the Marlins and needs to be rostered in all fantasy baseball leagues.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver
Davante Adams finds himself in a classic sell-high situation this offseason. He was the overall WR6 in half-PPR leagues when healthy (14 games) last season. A significant portion of his fantasy production came from his 14 touchdowns, which tied his highest mark since 2020 in Green Bay. Adams is due for touchdown regression in 2026, even though he plays in a Rams offense that throws the ball near the goal line a lot. As a result, his volume and yardage potential will carry more weight, and we're not super bullish about that. He had a relatively modest 60 catches for 789 yards last year, and he never caught more than six passes in a single game. If the touchdown total scales back, Adams will have extreme difficulty remaining a top-15 receiver with that volume share. At 33 years old, Adams' days of being a top-10 fantasy receiver could be behind him. Yet, managers can capitalize on the fact that he has been a top-12 receiver in each of the last six seasons, using that statistic to sell high and pick up some significant compensation in a dynasty league trade. He has fallen to WR41 in RotoBaller's latest dynasty fantasy football rankings.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver
Jordan Addison has the talent to produce as a fringe top-24 fantasy receiver every week, but quarterback issues have plagued his fantasy value recently. After opening his career with back-to-back top-24 finishes in PPR leagues, Addison dropped to WR45 in 2025. Sure, he did miss three games due to a suspension, but his average of 9.7 fantasy points per game was still a career low. The USC product suffered from playing with a combination of
J.J. McCarthy,
Max Brosmer, and
Carson Wentz. Those quarterbacks struggled to support fantasy relevance for
Justin Jefferson, let alone both Jefferson and Addison. As a result, there's some concern about Addison's outlook in dynasty leagues. The Vikings have control of McCarthy for three more years, and they also signed
Kyler Murray, who played so poorly in Arizona that the Cardinals released him from his $230.5 million extension. We never saw Murray support multiple fantasy-relevant receivers at once, and so far, McCarthy has struggled to do the same. As a result, managers should temper expectations for Addison. He's not an appealing dynasty trade target at the moment.
