New Jersey Devils defenseman Dougie Hamilton scored a goal and added an assist in Tuesday's 5-1 victory against the Panthers. The veteran defenseman extended his point streak to three games and continues to produce points at a solid rate after beginning the season slowly in that department. Hamilton has totaled nine goals and 16 assists through 56 games, and he remains a solid option in standard fantasy leagues.

New Jersey Devils goaltender Jacob Markstrom stopped 20 of 21 shots on goal in Tuesday's 5-1 victory against the Panthers. Markstrom started the first half of the back-to-back set for the Devils, and he had a light workload in the win, as the only goal scored against him came early in the game by Panthers forward Anton Lundell. Markstrom has had a difficult season with a 3.06 goals against average and an .888 save percentage across 33 appearances, but he has played better recently, making him a solid streaming option in certain matchups.

The New York Giants are releasing linebacker Bobby Okereke, as expected, a source told Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record. With the move, the Giants will clear $9 million in salary cap space for the 2026 season, with $5.4 million left in dead money. The 29-year-old former third-round pick in 2019 out of Stanford by the Indianapolis Colts had 140-plus combined tackles in two of his three seasons with the G-Men, including 143 tackles (78 solo), one sack, two interceptions, six pass breakups, and one fumble recovery in 17 regular-season games last year. Okereke dropped off considerably in his final two seasons in New York, and a back injury late in 2024 contributed. He might not ever be the linebacker he once was, but Okereke will certainly attract some interest on the open market this offseason for a team looking for help in the middle of their defense.

Veteran kicker
Nick Folk plans to return in 2026 for a 19th NFL season, and he is expected to be one of the top options on the kicking market at age 41, a source told Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network. Folk is the league's most accurate kicker (96.3%) since 2023, missing just one field goal per year while going 18-for-20 from 50-plus yards and 75-for-77 on his extra-point tries. In his return to the New York Jets last year, Folk made 28 of his 29 field-goal attempts (7-for-8 from 50-plus yards) while making all 22 of his extra points in 16 games. He was money for the Jets, as he's been in the last three years, but he finished as just the No. 21 kicker in overall fantasy points because the Jets' offense was so bad. The former sixth-round pick by the Dallas Cowboys in 2007 out of Arizona has aged like fine wine and has made at least five kicks from 50-plus yards in each of the last three years. Folk isn't getting any younger, but he could certainly be a trustworthy fantasy option in 2026 if he lands in a better offense.

Utah Mammoth right winger Dylan Guenther scored once and assisted one time in Tuesday's win over the Washington Capitals. He opened up the scoring 11:12 into the game on a snap shot that beat Logan Thompson, and then two minutes later, Guenther assisted on Mikhail Sergachev's power-play goal. On the 2025-26 season, Guenther now has 28 goals and 23 assists in 59 games played as a key part of the Mammoth offense.

Boston Bruins goalie Jeremy Swayman made 34 saves in a 2-1 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Tuesday. He only allowed an early wrist shot from Erik Karlsson to beat him, but then he was perfect the rest of the way in a tough 2-1 game versus the Penguins. On the season, Swayman has a 22-13-3 record with a 2.82 goals-against average and a .905 save percentage. His next chance to be in between the pipes will be on March 5 against Nashville.

New Orleans Pelicans forward
Zion Williamson (ankle) will be in action against the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday night. It was initially unclear whether Williamson would play after the team listed him as questionable on the injury report. The former No. 1 pick sprained his right ankle in Saturday's win over Utah and missed Sunday's matchup with the Clippers. Before he was hurt, Williamson enjoyed an outstanding five-game stretch in which he averaged 24.8 points, 4.4 rebounds, 3.4 assists, and 1.8 blocks.

Philadelphia 76ers guard
VJ Edgecombe (back) will miss the second half of Tuesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs, John Clark of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports. The exciting rookie sustained a back injury following a hard fall late in the first half. Edgecombe will finish the night with six points, four rebounds, one assist, one steal, and two blocks in 20 minutes.
Cameron Payne and
Justin Edwards could see more action in the second half without Edgecombe. Fantasy managers should consider Edgecombe questionable for Wednesday's clash against Utah.

March 3, 2026
Indiana Pacers center
Ivica Zubac (ankle) will remain sidelined on Wednesday against the Los Angeles Clippers. Due to a left ankle sprain, he has yet to play for the Pacers since arriving from the Clippers a month ago, and Zubac remains without a timeline for his return.
Jay Huff and
Micah Potter will continue to handle the minutes at center until Zubac is ready to make his Pacers debut. Potter has clearly outperformed Huff in recent games despite coming off the bench, averaging 15.7 points and 5.5 rebounds since the All-Star break.

March 3, 2026
Boston Celtics center
Neemias Queta (rest) will return to the lineup on Wednesday against the Charlotte Hornets. The team has removed the Portuguese big man from the injury report after he was rested on Monday against Milwaukee. Queta was well worth the rest, having dominated against Philadelphia on Sunday with 27 points, 17 rebounds, and three blocks.
Nikola Vucevic filled in for Queta in the starting lineup against Milwaukee, notching 10 points, five rebounds, seven assists, and one block. While Vucevic is set to return to the second unit on Wednesday, he will continue to hold fantasy value.

Portland Trail Blazers center
Robert Williams III (knee) will be active on Wednesday night against the Memphis Grizzlies. Williams III missed the second leg of a back-to-back on Sunday against Atlanta, but the team has not included him on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's contest. Serving as
Donovan Clingan's backup, Williams III has contributed 6.4 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks per game this season. On Wednesday, he has a very attractive matchup against a team that doesn't have a traditional big man on the roster.
--Taavi PailkSource: NBA Injury Report
March 3, 2026
Portland Trail Blazers forward
Kris Murray (illness) is questionable to play on Wednesday against the Memphis Grizzlies. On Sunday against the Atlanta Hawks, Murray made his fourth consecutive start, but he logged only four minutes in the contest due to illness.
Vit Krejci started the second half in Murray's place, producing a solid line against this former team, with 14 points, four rebounds, and one assist. Krejci may keep his spot in the first unit on Wednesday if Murray and
Deni Avdija (back) remain absent.

March 3, 2026
Los Angeles Clippers forward/center
John Collins (neck) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. The athletic big man is dealing with a neck strain and will be out for a second consecutive game.
Kobe Sanders grabbed Collins' spot in the starting unit on Monday night against Golden State and is likely to keep it. Yet Sanders couldn't get much going in 22 minutes against the Warriors, finishing with eight points, two rebounds, one assist, and one block. He may be more successful in Wednesday's matchup against a leaky defense.
--Taavi PailkSource: NBA Injury Report
March 3, 2026
Indiana Pacers forward
Obi Toppin (foot) is listed as probable for Wednesday's matchup with the Los Angeles Clippers. He appears on track to make his third consecutive appearance. However, Toppin has seen only limited minutes since returning from a fractured foot. He has logged 19 total minutes in his first two games back from injury. Toppin's minutes will likely remain around the same on Wednesday night, meaning he doesn't have anything to offer fantasy managers at present.
--Taavi PailkSource: NBA Injury Report
March 3, 2026
Indiana Pacers guard/forward
Aaron Nesmith (ankle) is considered questionable for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He has missed five games with a right ankle sprain and may sit out another contest against the Clippers.
Ben Sheppard has seen regular action as a starter during Nesmith's absence and will lose minutes if he returns on Wednesday night. Since Nesmith left the lineup, Sheppard has had his best spell of the season, averaging 10.6 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 1.0 steals.
--Taavi PailkSource: NBA Injury Report
March 3, 2026
Indiana Pacers guard
Andrew Nembhard (back, neck) is considered questionable for Wednesday's meeting with the Los Angeles Clippers. The 26-year-old is bothered by lower back and neck soreness and could sit out a second consecutive game. With Nembhard on the shelf,
Kam Jones joined the first unit on Sunday against the Memphis Grizzlies. The 24-year-old rookie put in solid work, finishing with a 10-point, 10-assist double-double, the first of his career. Jones is expected to maintain a larger role until Nembhard returns.

March 3, 2026
Indiana Pacers forward
Pascal Siakam (wrist) is carrying a questionable tag on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's clash against the Los Angeles Clippers. The four-time All-Star has missed six of the last seven games, including each of the last three. Due to a left wrist sprain, Siakam may sit out another contest on Wednesday night.
Jarace Walker,
Kobe Brown, and
Micah Potter have benefited from Siakam's absence due to health issues. Walker has the most fantasy appeal of the three players, having carved out a regular starting role.

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center
Santi Aldama (knee) won't play on Tuesday against the Minnesota Timberwolves after all. Prior to tip-off, the team upgraded his status from questionable to available, and Aldama was even expected to start. However, he has now been ruled out. With Aldama remaining on the shelf for an 11th consecutive game,
GG Jackson II and
Olivier-Maxence Prosper will continue to carry a heavy workload in the frontcourt.

This has perhaps been the longest that golf fans have been without seeing Justin Thomas inside the ropes of an official golf tournament. He last competed at the Ryder Cup last September, having undergone microdiscectomy surgery on his lower back shortly after to begin the recovering proccess as early as possible. With such a long layoff and a lone TGL match as the only competition he's seen in five months, there will inevitably be some rust to shake off. It's a tall task to make your first start at Bay Hill and do so with any confidence, which makes him an easy candidate to avoid for that reason alone. The former Tide golfer was not trending well from longer approach ranges to close out last season. Expecting anything from someone who is probably still familiarizing himself with how it feels to hold a club again is stressful business. Look for safer options this week.

March 3, 2026
Memphis Grizzlies forward/center
Santi Aldama (knee) will return to action on Tuesday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He has been on the shelf for a month while managing a right knee injury. Aldama has played an important role for the Grizzlies, averaging 14.0 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 2.9 assists in 27.9 minutes this season. However, his workload may be limited on Tuesday after missing several weeks, and it would be surprising to see him play on Wednesday in the second leg of a back-to-back against Portland.

After a whirlwind ending on the West Coast for Collin Morikawa that saw him secure his fifth PGA Tour victory at Pebble Beach and a T7 finish at Riviera, the 29-year-old is hitting this important stretch of golf in great form. He gained strokes on the greens in both of his last two starts. He's also leveled out his short game, which makes his overall game back to reaching levels seen when he was winning major championships. Since the beginning of the year, the former Cal Bear is up 20% in approach proximity over 200 yards (39'6"), putting him in the 84th percentile on the PGA Tour. He also has a powerful blend of power and accuracy going for him off the tee. If the switch-up in grass types doesn't throw a wrench in things, he should again be a major DFS contributor.

Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander
Emmet Sheehan (illness) "figures to be a leading candidate" for one of the final two spots in the team's Opening Day starting rotation this year, but he's a bit behind schedule in camp after dealing with a sickness, according to Jack Harris of The California Post. Along with Sheehan,
River Ryan and
Justin Wrobleski are candidates to open the year in L.A.'s rotation. The 26-year-old Sheehan is very intriguing for mixed-league starting fantasy rotations after going 6-3 last year with a 2.82 ERA (2.93 FIP) and 0.97 WHIP with 89 strikeouts and 22 walks in 73 1/3 innings over 15 regular-season appearances (12 starts). Sheehan should make his Cactus League debut soon, and he still has time to get ready for Opening Day in late March. The former sixth-rounder has No. 3 starter upside in fantasy; the only problem is that he's not a lock to stick in the rotation all year long.

March 3, 2026
Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward
Cedric Coward (knee) has been cleared to play on Tuesday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He has been battling a knee injury lately and was listed as questionable on the initial injury report. Coward last played on Feb. 9, missing seven contests.
Cam Spencer and
Walter Clayton Jr. will likely have smaller roles in the rotation with Coward back in the lineup. The 22-year-old has been a regular starter since mid-November, averaging 13.3 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 2.9 assists during his maiden campaign.

Memphis Grizzlies point guard
Ty Jerome (thigh) will return from a two-game absence on Tuesday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The team has listed him as available after initially listing him as questionable on the injury report. With Jerome back, we will likely see
Scotty Pippen Jr. return to the second unit. Jerome has averaged only 21.0 minutes per game across eight appearances this season, but he has been very impactful. Tuomas Iisalo's style of play appears to suit Jerome, as he has averaged 19.6 points, 2.8 rebounds, 5.6 assists, and 1.3 steals.

Cincinnati Reds right-hander
Brady Singer had a tough time at the office in his Cactus League debut on Monday night against the Chicago Cubs, allowing five earned runs on seven hits while walking two and striking out one in two innings of work. Singer threw 46 pitches in the outing but was able to generate just one swing and miss. The 29-year-old is heading into his second year in Cincy after going 14-12 with a 4.03 ERA (3.98 FIP), 1.24 WHIP, and 163:60 K:BB in 169 2/3 innings over 32 starts in 2025. He should once again be a valuable back-end starter for the Reds in 2026, although he's tougher to get behind in fantasy in one of the more hitter-friendly ballparks in the big leagues. The key to Singer's success is his sinker, which he will need to keep the ball out of the air in Cincy. His career 22.1% strikeout rate doesn't give him much fantasy upside either, which is why he's ranked just inside the top 100 starting pitchers at RotoBaller.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward
Anthony Edwards (foot) will be active against the Memphis Grizzlies on Tuesday night. He was added to the injury report late, as Edwards continues to manage a right foot injury, but the team has upgraded his status from questionable to available. Edwards has played out of his mind against the Grizzlies this season, averaging 36.0 points across two games. His recent form has also been good, as the Timberwolves superstar has managed at least 30 points in three of his last five outings.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward
Aaron Wiggins has been named a starter for Tuesday's contest against the Chicago Bulls, Justin Martinez of The Oklahoman reports. The defending champions are banged up right now, giving fringe players like Wiggins an opportunity to step up. In his previous starts this season, Wiggins has averaged 13.8 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and 1.5 steals. It could be another busy night on offense for Wiggins, as Chicago has one of the worst defensive ratings in the league.

After the end of last year's regular season and the start of this new one, Tommy Fleetwood has been one of the most popular DFS plays. It will be no surprise to see him again be one of the most-owned players, but there is reason to be skeptical this week. While he doesn't have the worst track record at Bay Hill, it's certainly far from other names at the top of the board, who have continuously shown up at a layout that is among the highest on tour in predictive course history. He has also been subpar in approach play over 200 yards, with a -0.057 strokes gained per shot since the beginning of the year on both the PGA and DP World Tours. The Englishman has counteracted that with a tour-leading short game (+1.107 strokes gained around the green average). The problem isn't necessarily about having Fleetwood in a DFS lineup; it's committing to him beating the likes of Scheffler, McIlroy, and Henley--that is a big ask here.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder
Christian Yelich is penciled in for his Cactus League debut on Wednesday against the Chicago Cubs, according to Adam McCalvy of MLB.com. Yelich isn't injured at all, but the Brewers weren't in a rush to put the 34-year-old veteran with a history of back injuries on the field right away this spring. The three-time All-Star and former MVP hit .264/.343/.452 with a .795 OPS, 29 home runs, 103 RBI, 88 runs scored, and 16 stolen bases in 644 plate appearances over 150 regular-season games in 2025 in his seventh year in Milwaukee. It was the first time that Yelich reached 20-plus home runs since 2019 and only the second time in his 13-year career that he had over 100 RBI. Yelich could have outfield eligibility in some fantasy leagues, but he will primarily serve as the DH for the Brew Crew in 2026 in an effort to keep him healthy. He's no spring chicken and comes with plenty of durability concerns, but when healthy, Yelich is a consistent run producer with a solid floor. He's ranked as RotoBaller's No. 28 fantasy outfielder.

Khaman Maluach (thumb) is available to play ahead of Tuesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Maluach will shed a questionable tag and officially suit up despite dealing with a right thumb sprain. He figures to serve as depth behind
Mark Williams and
Oso Ighodaro. Maluach will likely only play minutes in the single digits, which won't be enough to warrant streaming on Tuesday.
