Ohio State wide receiver Carnell Tate is one of five Buckeyes rookies who could hear their name called on the first night of the NFL Draft. Along with Tate, Arvell Reese, Sonny Styles, and Caleb Downs all have a strong case to be selected in the top half of the first round, but as the only offensive player in the group, Tate will undoubtedly have the attention of fantasy managers when Ohio State takes the field for their Pro Day on March 25. Tate ran slower than expected at the NFL Combine, but conflicting reports have since suggested that many teams clocked him notably faster than his laser-timed 4.53-second 40-yard dash. Tate is in the conversation to be the first wide receiver selected in both the NFL and dynasty rookie drafts, and a solid showing at his Pro Day could help to cement his case.--Patrick McGrath

Florida Panthers left wing A.J. Greer has been suspended for four games for boarding Calgary Flames forward Connor Zary in Friday's loss. Greer was assessed a major penalty and a game misconduct for the incident. Before being tossed, Greer scored his 13th goal of the season. He has found the back of the net in back-to-back outings, taking advantage of increased ice time. Greer has also produced 11 assists in 68 games. He will be eligible to return to action on March 29 against the New York Rangers.--Taavi Pailk

Baltimore Orioles outfield prospect Dylan Beavers (knee) is progressing well through his knee injury, according to Andrew Golden of The Baltimore Banner. Beavers has been sidelined since Friday after being scratched from a spring training game due to a sore knee. While his status for Opening Day remains uncertain, the young outfielder's progress is a positive sign that he could be cleared in time. In spring training, the former 33rd overall pick has held a .212/.235/.485 slash line with one home run over a short 11-game stint. Beavers made his MLB debut last summer and flashed solid power upside over his first 35 games, launching four home runs and swiping two bags with a .775 OPS. If Beavers is unable to suit up on Opening Day, managers should expect Tyler O'Neill to get the starting nod in right field.--Andy Smith

Toronto Blue Jays right-handed pitching prospect Trey Yesavage (shoulder) is set to start a minor league game on Wednesday. The budding ace will begin the regular season on the injured list and is slowly increasing his workload. Yesavage has yet to take the mound this spring, but he will take the next step in his recovery on Wednesday. Yesavage made his MLB debut later in the 2025 season and posted a 3.21 ERA and 1.43 WHIP over his first 14 innings. In the postseason, the former 20th overall pick took the next step, striking out an impressive 39 hitters over 27 2/3 innings. Managers should continue to monitor Yesavage's status, as he may not have a lengthy stint on the injured list. When he does return, managers should expect him to claim a spot in the starting rotation, but his innings could be limited, which will hinder his overall upside.--Andy Smith

According to DK Pittsburgh Sports, Pittsburgh Pirates left-handed pitching prospect Hunter Barco has made the Opening Day roster. However, the team has yet to decide on Barco's role for the start of the season. In the minor leagues, he developed as a starter, but during his first taste of MLB action last summer, he came out of the bullpen. In spring training, Barco logged 9 1/3 innings to the tune of a 2.89 ERA with a 1.18 WHIP. In 2025, Barco logged only three innings in the majors but did not allow a run and struck out three hitters. In the minor leagues, he logged 99 1/3 innings with an impressive 2.81 ERA and a 1.20 WHIP. Managers should continue to monitor his usage, as he could have some streaming upside if given spot starts throughout the summer.--Andy Smith

New York Mets outfield prospect Carson Benge is projected to be the team's Opening Day right fielder. Following the injury to Mike Tauchman (knee), the rookie seems destined to claim the starting right field job when the Mets face the Pirates later this week, according to Anthony DiComo of MLB.com. Benge has enjoyed a strong showing in spring training, posting a .366/.435/.439 line with an. 874 OPS with an 8:4 K:BB over 14 games. Even though Benge has yet to take an MLB at-bat, the former first-round pick enters the week as the clear favorite to earn the right field job. Last season, Benge logged 114 games across High-A, Double-A, and Triple-A, and carried an overall .281/.385/.472 line with 15 home runs and 22 stolen bases. He is emerging as a top late-round sleeper candidate.--Andy Smith

The Milwaukee Brewers have optioned left-handed pitching prospect Robert Gasser to Triple-A. Gasser was in the mix to earn a role on the Opening Day roster but came up short in the competition. Across 12 1/3 innings this spring, the southpaw held a high 5.11 ERA, 1.46 WHIP, with a 14:4 K:BB. Even with Brandon Woodruff (lat), Kyle Harrison (finger), and Quinn Priester (wrist) dealing with injuries, the Brewers will opt to send their No. 17-ranked prospect to the minor leagues. Gasser logged just 5 2/3 innings in the majors in 2025 and made his debut back in 2024, when he tossed 28 innings to the tune of a 2.57 ERA. Fantasy managers in deeper 15+ team formats should continue to monitor his status as he could return to Milwaukee in the near future, given the current state of their rotation.--Andy Smith

San Antonio Spurs guard Stephon Castle (hip) is questionable for Monday's game against Miami after missing the last two contests due to soreness. If the rookie guard remains out, Dylan Harper could continue seeing expanded minutes after delivering 24 points, one three-pointer, four rebounds, and three assists in 28 minutes during his last start. Harper could be worth a short-term stream for points and guard stats if Castle sits. With Devin Vassell (hamstring) also questionable, Harper may have a clearer path to steady minutes next to De'Aaron Fox in the backcourt.--Brian Dailisan

San Francisco Giants first base prospect Bryce Eldridge went 2-for-3 with a home run during an exhibition game on Sunday. The team's top hitting prospect was left off the opening Day roster but turned in a nice showing over the weekend. During spring training, Eldridge continued to showcase his power, hitting four doubles with a home run, but struck out 19 times over 40 at-bats and will head to Triple-A Sacramento to further his development. Last season, Eldridge spent a brief 10-game stint in San Francisco and held a modest .100/.297/.179 line. He spent most of his season with Triple-A, where he carried a .249/.322/.514 line with a .836 OPS, over a 66-game stint. Managers should continue to monitor his progression at Triple-A, as he could be in the mix for an early return to San Francisco.--Andy Smith

Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Bennedict Mathurin (toe) will remain out for Monday's game against Milwaukee, extending his absence to four straight contests. His continued absence has opened steady rotation minutes on the wing. Kris Dunn logged five assists, two steals, and two blocks in 32 minutes off the bench in his last outing and remains a defensive streaming option in deeper formats. Jordan Miller also chipped in 10 points in 22 minutes and could continue seeing reserve minutes. Mathurin should still be viewed as questionable for Wednesday against Toronto.--Brian Dailisan

Utah Jazz guard Isaiah Collier (hamstring) will miss another game Monday against Toronto, marking his third straight absence due to injury management. With Keyonte George (hamstring) also sidelined, Utah has leaned heavily on Kennedy Chandler and Bez Mbeng to handle point guard duties. Mbeng logged 13 points, six rebounds, and seven assists in 45 minutes in his last start, while Chandler added 19 points, five rebounds, and four assists in 37 minutes off the bench. Both guards are worth a look in deeper leagues while Collier remains out.--Brian Dailisan

Milwaukee Bucks forward Kyle Kuzma (Achilles) is questionable for Monday's game against the Clippers after exiting Saturday's win over Phoenix with soreness. His absence would likely open more minutes in the frontcourt rotation. Ousmane Dieng could remain in a sizable role after posting 11 points, one three-pointer, two rebounds, two assists, and one steal in 33 minutes as a starter. Bobby Portis, now off the injury report, is also positioned for a larger workload and offers streaming appeal after recording 11 points, six rebounds, and two steals in 24 minutes in a recent game.--Brian Dailisan

March 23, 2026

Indiana Pacers forward/center Pascal Siakam (knee) is questionable for Monday's game against Orlando after returning Saturday from a six-game absence and logging 14 points, five assists, two rebounds, and one steal in 29 minutes. Managers should monitor his status closely after the quick turnaround. Jarace Walker would remain the main beneficiary if Siakam sits after producing 21 points, five three-pointers, four rebounds, and four assists in 35 minutes in his last start. Kobe Brown could pick up a few extra minutes and is on the radar in deeper leagues, while Jalen Slawson is still a risky play since he's on a two-way deal and not guaranteed a steady role.--Brian Dailisan

March 23, 2026

Los Angeles Clippers forward/center John Collins (ankle) is listed as probable for Monday's game against Milwaukee and is expected to play through a minor sprain. Collins logged eight points, one three-pointer, three rebounds, one steal, and two blocks in 29 minutes during his last start against Dallas, showing modest production despite a steady run. His fantasy outlook could improve if Kawhi Leonard (ankle) sits, which would open more usage and scoring chances. Collins remains a situational hold in standard leagues. Jordan Miller and Derrick Jones Jr. could also see slight bumps in minutes depending on Leonard's status.--Brian Dailisan

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor "still headlines" the team's running backs room, according to The Athletic's James Boyd, and there "hasn't been much chatter" about Taylor's workload as he heads into the final year of his contract in 2026. The 27-year-old was the RB2 in half-PPR fantasy points in 2025, behind only Christian McCaffrey, and he's coming off the fourth 1,000-yard rushing season of his career. He was also named to his third Pro Bowl in his sixth season in the league. The former second-rounder (41st overall) in 2020 out of Wisconsin played in every game in 2025 for the first time since his second year in the NFL, and he tied his career-high with 18 rushing touchdowns. Taylor was a beast for fantasy managers and appears on track to receive similar volume in 2026 as a high-end RB1 target in fantasy drafts. His 323 carries led the league, and it was the second-most rushing attempts he's had in his six-year career.--Keith Hernandez

Philadelphia Phillies right-handed reliever Daniel Robert (chest) was released from the hospital on Sunday and is feeling OK after a cardiac event in the morning at BayCare Ballpark, according to Todd Zolecki of MLB.com. The 31-year-old veteran collapsed on the pitcher's mound following his first bullpen session since October, when he suffered a cardiac event during another bullpen session. Over the winter, he had an implantable cardioverter defibrillator placed near his chest. He boarded an ambulance under his own power. "It was very scary, but he's fine," manager Rob Thomson said. In just his second major-league season in 2025, Robert allowed seven runs (six earned) on 11 hits (two homers) while walking 10 and striking out 15 in 13 innings over 15 appearances out of the bullpen for the Phils. It's safe to say that Robert will not be ready for the start of the 2026 regular season as he tries to get his cardio situation under control.--Keith Hernandez

Chicago Cubs outfield prospect Ethan Conrad (back), the team's first-round pick in 2025, is expected to miss around a month due to a back injury, according to Mark Gonzales. Conrad was taken with the 17th overall pick last year out of Wake Forest. The 21-year-old is already considered Chicago's No. 3 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, but his development early on in 2026 will be delayed. The left-handed-hitting outfielder stands at 6-foot-2 and 220 pounds. Conrad's weakness is his aggressiveness, but it also helps him hit the ball hard consistently when he makes contact. The Cubs will continue to work on Conrad pulling the ball more to his pull side so he can hopefully become an above-average power hitter at the big-league level down the road. In 21 games at Wake Forest in his final college season, he hit .372/.495/.744 with seven home runs and 27 RBI in 21 games played. MLB Pipeline has Conrad projected to reach the big leagues in 2028.--Keith Hernandez

It was announced on Saturday that Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop prospect Konnor Griffin would not be on the team's Opening Day roster, and on Sunday, Milb Central reports that Griffin will start the year at Triple-A Indianapolis. It was looking like the 19-year-old phenom might become the first teenager to start on Opening Day since Ken Griffey Jr. did it back in 1989. He hit just .171 (7-for-41) in 16 Grapefruit League games, but Griffin also had four home runs, nine RBI, a stolen base, five runs scored, and a .749 OPS this spring. The former ninth overall pick in 2024 impressed his teammates with his physicality and his maturity in spring training. In three minor-league levels in 2025, Griffin excelled with a .333/.415/.527 slash line, .941 OPS, 21 home runs, 94 RBI, 117 runs scored, and 65 stolen bases in 122 games played. Griffin can do it all on the diamond and should be up in Pittsburgh for his major-league debut sooner than later in 2026. Even though he'll start in the minors, fantasy managers should be stashing the potential once-in-a-generation talent.--Keith Hernandez

23XI Racing driver Tyler Reddick had an eventful race at Darlington Raceway in this year's Goodyear 400, but he ultimately prevailed with victory. Reddick started from the pole position in first and led all laps until his first green flag pit stop, where his pit crew had a slow stop after trouble with tightening his lug nuts on his tires. This sent Reddick to the back half of the top 10, but he recovered positions until he ended the first stage in second, earning nine stage points and falling short of overtaking Brad Keselowski for the stage victory. During the second stage, Reddick dealt with brake issues that forced him to pit early in the stage to resolve them. Reddick continued to show that he had the fastest car in the race, as he rallied back to fifth by the end of the second stage and collected six more stage points. In the final stage, Reddick restarted inside the top 10 and quickly made up more positions, but midway through the stage, he made contact with Chris Buescher, causing Reddick to fall further behind Keselowski, who was leading around lap 242 after passing Buescher. Reddick then chased Keselowski through the rest of the stage until lap 266, where he passed Keselowski and never looked back for his first Darlington victory and his fourth of the season. Reddick became only the third driver in NASCAR history to win four of the first six races, and he continues to lead the regular-season standings by 95 points after six races.--Sean Engel - RotoBaller

Brad Keselowski was the dominant driver in this week's Goodyear 400 at Darlington Raceway, but fell short of victory. Keselowski started the race from fifth and quickly displayed plenty of speed. The No. 6 Ford driver made it up to third before the first round of green-flag pit stops, but came away with the lead after a better pit stop sequence than Bubba Wallace and Tyler Reddick had a slow pit stop with issues on one of his tires. Keselowski went on to win the first stage and earn 10 stage points. Between the first and second stage, Keselowski lost the lead through a slow pit stop, but he gained it back midway through the stage thanks to having one of the fastest cars in the field. Keselowski went on to dominate the rest of the stage and win it, scoring 10 more stage points. In the final stage, Keselowski fell back once again through pit stops, but regained his lost positions as the third stage progressed, and he led the race until lap 266, when Reddick overcame his penalties and passed Keselowski. Reddick had a faster car, and Keselowski was unable to catch up to him, settling for second place despite leading 142 laps total. This was Keselowski's first top-5 finish since winning the spring 2024 race at Darlington, and he now rose up to eighth in the regular-season standings this season after six races.--Sean Engel - RotoBaller

Team Penske's Ryan Blaney finished third in the Goodyear 400 at Darlington Raceway. Blaney began the race from the seventh position, but showed he had a fast car suitable for longer green flag runs. As the first stage progressed, Blaney went from seventh to third at the end of the first stage, earning eight stage points. Between stages, however, Blaney's pit crew did not get one of his tire's lug nuts tight and relied on teammate Austin Cindric's pit crew to fix the issue. As a result, Blaney started the second stage from the rear of the field and spent the stage recovering from his pit road mistake. Blaney fell short of scoring more stage points as he finished stage two in 12th. In the final stage, Blaney kept his car out of trouble and took advantage of his car's long-run speed to return to the top 10 and passed cars until he reached third by the end of the race. This is Blaney's best career finish in his Cup career at Darlington, and he is now second in the regular-season standings after six races this season.--Sean Engel - RotoBaller

Carson Hocevar placed fourth in Sunday's Goodyear 400 at Darlington Raceway after a hard-fought race where he started from the rear of the field. Hocevar was originally slated to start 16th, but his team made unapproved adjustments before the race that forced him to start last per the NASCAR rulebook. The No. 77 Chevrolet driver spent the entire race making up for starting in the back of the pack. By the end of the first stage, Hocevar made it up to 24th but was a lap down and did not score any stage points. Hocevar returned to the lead lap by using the wave around and continued to get closer to the front. At the end of the second stage, Hocevar finished 16th and failed to earn stage points. In the final stage, Hocevar continued to gain positions, and on the final green flag run, he went to pit road for his final stop later than most drivers, giving himself a tire advantage for the end of the race. Using this tire advantage, Hocevar went from 12th all the way to fourth by the end of the race, obtaining his first top-5 finish at Darlington. After six races, Hocevar is now 13th in the regular-season standings.--Sean Engel - RotoBaller

Kyle Larson ended Sunday's Goodyear 400 at Darlington Raceway with a disappointing result of 32nd. The No. 5 Chevrolet driver began the race from the fourth position and displayed solid speed throughout the entire race. In the first stage, Larson ran inside the top 10 for most of the stage, but did not have the speed to compete for the lead against the top two drivers of the race, Tyler Reddick and Brad Keselowski. At the end of the first stage, Larson finished fifth and earned six stage points. During the second stage, Larson was able to lead the race as Reddick dealt with car issues and Keselowski dealt with a slower pit stop that allowed Larson to compete for the lead with Chris Buescher. The Hendrick Motorsports driver led 20 laps, but eventually lost the lead to Keselowski and slipped back to third, where he ended the second stage. In the final stage, Larson continued to run inside the top 10 through most of the stage, but as the stage progressed, he kept slipping and losing positions until he eventually was running 11th with 10 laps to go. Suddenly, Larson's car experienced internal issues with the toe link, causing him to fall off the lead lap and eventually finish in 32nd, two laps down. This continues a streak of not finishing a spring Darlington race in the top 10 since 2021, and he is now 10th in the regular-season standings after six races. --Sean Engel - RotoBaller

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Jalen Coker missed six games last year, but when healthy, he has shown that he can produce fantasy-relevant results. The 24-year-old stepped up as the Panthers' No. 2 receiver behind Tetairoa McMillan, and in doing so, he seemed to pass Xavier Legette on the depth chart. Coker averaged 3.7 catches, 46.9 yards, and 0.4 touchdowns per game from Week 11 through Week 18, ranking as the WR26 in PPR leagues during that span. He continued his explosive outburst with nine catches, 134 yards, and one touchdown in the Panthers' lone playoff game against the Los Angeles Rams. Coker has defied the odds as a 2024 undrafted free agent and is blossoming into a low-end WR3/flex for fantasy football purposes. Coker's slow first half of the 2025 season obscured his final stat line, so managers might have an opportunity to buy low on him in dynasty fantasy football. Managers should send out trade offers to acquire the 24-year-old ahead of a potentially significant breakout campaign in 2026.--Andersen Pickard

Buffalo Bills wide receiver DJ Moore is trending up in dynasty leagues after being traded away from the Chicago Bears earlier this month. Moore was the WR6 in 2023 and the WR16 in 2024, but he fell to WR35 with a modest 50 catches, 682 yards, and six touchdowns this past season. He took a major step backward in the Bears' system despite playing all 17 games, likely due to the increased presence of Rome Odunze, Luther Burden III, and Colston Loveland. The down season has caused Moore's dynasty value to dip, but the offseason trade makes him an intriguing buy-low candidate. For starters, the fact that Buffalo actively went out and invested a second-round pick in Moore indicates that they plan to get him very heavily involved. Additionally, compared to Chicago, he faces less competition in Buffalo while also getting a quarterback upgrade. Josh Allen finally has a true No. 1 receiver for the first time in a while, and Moore should get peppered with targets in new head coach Joe Brady's offense. Moore is suddenly a very intriguing pick to finish among the top 18 fantasy receivers next year and for several years to come. Dynasty managers should consider sending out trade offers to buy low on Moore before his price tag climbs higher.--Andersen Pickard

March 22, 2026

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman found himself in the doghouse last year, and he continues to face an uphill battle to produce, even after the team made a change at head coach. Between production-related concerns and disciplinary issues, Coleman missed four games last year, finishing the season with a modest 38 catches for 404 yards and four touchdowns. He has yet to finish higher than WR60 in his two seasons in the league. The Bills fired head coach Sean McDermott and replaced him with offensive coordinator Joe Brady. Therefore, even though there's a new face in charge, it's still someone with a strong existing connection to Coleman. Furthermore, Coleman's fantasy managers should be concerned that the Bills went out and traded a second-round pick for DJ Moore. The 22-year-old is now buried on the depth chart behind Moore and Khalil Shakir, and he's not a lock to beat out Joshua Palmer or Tyrell Shavers, either. Coleman has minimal trade value in dynasty fantasy football, so he can be dropped in shallower leagues or merely held in deeper formats.--Andersen Pickard

March 22, 2026

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens is coming off the best season of his career, and he continues to project as a mid-to-low WR1 option in fantasy football. However, his ongoing franchise tag saga complicates his outlook for fantasy managers. The Cowboys applied the franchise tag to Pickens, who expressed dismay and plans to hold out for a long-term deal. It sounds like he won't return to the Cowboys' facilities until he has a long-term deal in place, and the two sides could eventually come up against the clock, since the deadline for tagged players to sign an extension is July 15. It's tough to say what will happen if Pickens doesn't have a deal by then, but given the trend of franchise tag situations in recent years, it seems unlikely that Pickens would sit out any games. It seems most likely that he'll sign an extension, but he could also be traded or give in and play out his one-year deal. At the end of the day, Pickens will probably be catching passes from Dak Prescott in 2026, which bodes well for his fantasy outlook. However, what happens in 2027 and beyond is anybody's guess. Dynasty managers should consider selling high on Pickens' WR5 finish in PPR leagues last year, especially since changing teams next offseason could drop him outside the top 12 fantasy receivers.--Andersen Pickard
