Montreal Canadiens right winger Ivan Demidov scored and assisted one time each in a 4-1 victory over the Nashville Predators on Saturday. The rookie had his second multi-point game in his last three games and now has 16 goals and 40 assists in 72 games played this season. Demidov is having a great year and is battling for the Calder trophy with Matthew Schaefer and Beckett Sennecke.

Washington Wizards center
Alexandre Sarr (toe) will not play Sunday against Portland as the second-year big man gets injury management on the first leg of a back-to-back. His absence could open short-term opportunities for
Tristan Vukcevic and
Anthony Gill in deeper formats. Gill logged 14 points, three assists, two steals, and one block in 25 minutes his last time out, while Vukcevic has flashed scoring upside in prior spot starts.
Julian Reese remains a risky option due to his two-way status.

Boston Celtics forward/center
Neemias Queta (thumb) is questionable for Sunday's game against Charlotte as he continues to deal with a right thumb sprain he has recently played through. If he is unable to go,
Luka Garza could step into a larger role after posting 11 points, four rebounds, and two assists in 15 minutes off the bench Friday, giving him some deep-league streaming appeal for rebounds and efficient scoring.
Payton Pritchard and
Sam Hauser could also see more consistent minutes and opportunities with the second unit.

March 28, 2026
Boston Celtics forward
Jayson Tatum (Achilles) is questionable for Sunday's game against Charlotte and could sit for maintenance on the first night of a back-to-back. If he rests,
Payton Pritchard would again profile as a strong DFS target after logging 35 minutes with 36 points, six three-pointers, seven rebounds, and four assists Friday, while
Sam Hauser and
Baylor Scheierman could see expanded scoring roles.
Jaylen Brown (Achilles) and
Derrick White also (knee) carry injury tags, which could further thin the rotation.

Tampa Bay Rays right-handed reliever
Griffin Jax has put himself on the closer hot seat early in 2026 after blowing each of his first two save opportunities as he begins his first full year with the team. In Saturday's 6-5 extra-inning loss to the St. Louis Cardinals, Jax blew the save and took his first loss of the year after allowing two runs (one earned) on a hit while walking one in just one-third of an inning. The 31-year-old blew the save on Opening Day at Busch Stadium on Thursday and could not get it done on Saturday in the bottom of the 10th inning. Infield prospect
JJ Wetherholt delivered the dagger against Jax. The former third-rounder by the Minnesota Twins in 2016 out of Air Force has been manager Kevin Cash's first choice for saves to begin the year, but that could be changing the next time a save situation comes up, with
Bryan Baker and
Garrett Cleavinger both being options.
Edwin Uceta (shoulder) should get ninth-inning duties when he returns from the injured list, and he has the most upside of any Rays high-leverage arm.

March 28, 2026
Boston Celtics guard
Derrick White (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against Charlotte after managing a right knee contusion that has recently appeared on the injury report. If he is held out, Pritchard would likely take on more ballhandling duties after finishing with 36 points, six three-pointers, seven rebounds, and four assists in his last outing, reinforcing his value as a strong DFS and daily-lineup option.
Jayson Tatum (Achilles) and
Jaylen Brown (Achilles) could also see slight usage bumps if available.
--Brian DailisanSource: Bobby Krivitsky
March 28, 2026
Toronto Raptors guard
Immanuel Quickley (foot) will remain sidelined Sunday against Orlando due to plantar fasciitis, extending his recent absence and keeping the backcourt rotation thin.
Jamal Shead should continue to see streaming appeal after posting eight assists and two steals in 25 minutes Friday, while
Ja'Kobe Walter could also maintain a steady role.
Scottie Barnes and
RJ Barrett may absorb more playmaking duties. With the regular season nearly over, Quickley can be held if you have IL flexibility, but managers in tighter playoff matchups may need to look elsewhere. Shead profiles as a short-term assist streamer while Quickley remains out.
--Brian DailisanSource: Blake Murphy
March 28, 2026
Toronto Raptors guard/forward
Brandon Ingram (heel) is questionable for Sunday's game against Orlando as he continues to manage a lingering foot concern. If he sits,
Ja'Kobe Walter and
Jamal Shead could be worth a look as deep-league streamers after both saw increased roles recently. Walter logged 18 points, four three-pointers, four assists, and one rebound in 34 minutes Friday, while Shead produced eight assists and two steals in 25 minutes off the bench.
Scottie Barnes and
RJ Barrett would also be positioned for more offensive responsibility.

Athletics catcher
Shea Langeliers is showing his high-end power early in 2026, homering for the third time in just the second game in Saturday's extra-inning loss to the hosting Toronto Blue Jays. Langeliers went 2-for-4 with a grand slam, one walk, and a strikeout in the team's 8-7 loss at the Rogers Centre. In Friday night's 3-2 loss to Toronto, Langeliers hit two solo homers to carry the A's offense. He's feeling it at the plate early on this year after hitting a career-high 31 long balls and driving in 72 in 123 games in 2025 in his third full season in the majors. The 28-year-old also had seven stolen bases and a .277/.325/.536 slash line with an .861 OPS in 523 plate appearances. Langeliers hit 82 home runs and drove in 215 runs from 2023 to 2025 and appears headed for a possible second straight 30-home run season for the A's.

March 28, 2026
Los Angeles Lakers guard
Luka Doncic (suspension) will miss Monday's game against Washington after drawing his 16th technical foul, triggering an automatic one-game ban. His absence should funnel more usage to
Austin Reaves, who posted 26 points, eight rebounds, five assists, and four three-pointers in 40 minutes during Friday's win, making him a strong DFS and category-league play.
Luke Kennard and
Jake LaRavia could see deeper-league streaming appeal if
Marcus Smart (ankle) sits.
LeBron James also gets a slight playmaking bump. Doncic remains a must-hold elite option and should return Tuesday.
--Brian DailisanSource: Shams Charania
March 28, 2026
Memphis Grizzlies guard
Walter Clayton Jr. (ankle) is available to play ahead of Saturday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Clayton will shed the questionable tag and suit up for the second leg of this back-to-back set. The rookie guard should continue playing a larger role in the rotation with
Ty Jerome (ankle) and
Cam Spencer (back) still sidelined. Over the last seven games, Clayton is averaging 9.1 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 4.0 assists across 23.9 minutes per game. Clayton is playing well enough right now to warrant a look in deep leagues right now.

Toronto Blue Jays right-hander
Dylan Cease looked excellent in his debut for the team in Saturday's 8-7 win in 11 innings over the Athletics for their second walk-off win in the first two games of the 2026 season. Cease was on point for a great first impression for the home faithful, allowing just one earned run on three hits in 5 1/3 innings pitched while walking only two and striking out 12. Fantasy managers would have loved the win on top of it, but they don't really have anything to complain about in Cease's first outing of the year in his new digs at hitter-friendly Rogers Centre. He threw 61 of his 90 pitches for strikes, and his fastball velocity was up a tad from last year. At one point in the game, Cease struck out seven straight batters. Cease could be money once again for his fantasy managers in his second start with Toronto, which is scheduled to come next Sunday against his former team, the Chicago White Sox. It's a very encouraging start for Cease in his move back to the American League.

March 28, 2026
Memphis Grizzlies guard
Jahmai Mashack (ankle, nose) is returning to the court ahead of Saturday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Mashack is back following a six-game absence due to a left ankle sprain and nasal fracture. Before the injury, Mashack was actually playing significant minutes in the rotation. It's unclear if that will remain the case with the Grizzlies getting healthy at the guard spot. There's some deep league value here, but Mashack remains far from a must-add fantasy player.
--Andy WebbSource: NBA Injury Report
March 28, 2026
Chicago Bulls forward
Guerschon Yabusele (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Yabusele drew the start on Friday with
Nick Richards (elbow) unavailable. Now, both big men are sitting out for Saturday's contest, which puts the Bulls in a bad spot. Possibly,
Lachlan Olbrich draws the start, but
Patrick Williams and
Leonard Miller should absorb most of the extra playing time. Miller is bringing enough to the table right now to warrant a look as a streaming option on Saturday.
--Andy WebbSource: NBA Injury Report
March 28, 2026
Sacramento Kings guard
Malik Monk will move into the starting five ahead of Saturday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Fellow guard
Nique Clifford (foot) is available following a two-game absence. However, the Kings have elected to ease him back into action and start Monk on Saturday. Possibly, Clifford is going to be limited, but the team hasn't said anything about a minutes limit. Monk should play his normal role in the rotation on Saturday. This season, Monk is averaging 12.7 points, 1.9 rebounds, and 3.0 assists across 22.3 minutes per game. The veteran guard has played 30 minutes or more over the last three games, but could see a reduced role with Clifford back in the mix. Regardless, Monk is worth starting in most 12-team fantasy leagues.

Former Arizona Cardinals quarterback
Kyler Murray's (foot) fantasy football value in dynasty/keeper leagues was trending down in recent years and fell to a low point in 2025, when he appeared in just five games due to a sprained foot. The 28-year-old former first overall pick in 2019 out of Oklahoma threw for just 962 yards, six touchdowns, and three interceptions while rushing for 173 yards and one touchdown on the ground. Despite injury-riddled seasons in two of the last three years, Murray should enter training camp this summer as the slight favorite to win the starting duties in Minnesota over
J.J. McCarthy. If Murray stays healthy and plays up to his abilities (primarily as a rusher for fantasy purposes), he will have the weapons in Minnesota to become a favorite for Comeback Player of the Year in 2026. A fresh start in a new city could be just what the doctor ordered for Murray, a two-time Pro Bowler in 2020 and 2021, especially with a QB guru as head coach in Kevin O'Connell. If Murray ends up winning the QB job, he'll have QB1 upside in single-year fantasy leagues.

March 28, 2026
Atlanta Hawks forward
Jonathan Kuminga (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Unsurprisingly, Kuminga will take a seat in the second leg of this back-to-back set while he continues to deal with lingering knee issues. The Hawks are also without
Dyson Daniels (toe) on Saturday, so the depth of this team is going to be tested. Without them available,
Corey Kispert and
Zaccharie Risacher will be asked to take on larger roles. Neither player has great streaming value, but Risacher could be worth a look as a low-end option with big minutes likely coming his way on Saturday.
--Andy WebbSource: NBA Injury Report
March 28, 2026
Atlanta Hawks center
Onyeka Okongwu (finger) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Sacramento Kings. The big man appears to have suffered a finger injury that will keep him sidelined for this game. Luckily, fellow big man
Jock Landale (shoulder) is back in the mix following a one-game absence. Landale should move into the starting five and have increased fantasy value on Saturday.
Mouhamed Gueye should take over as the primary backup, but Landale is the better fantasy choice between the two. Fantasy managers should check back on Monday for another update on Okongwu ahead of their game against the Boston Celtics.
--Andy WebbSource: NBA Injury Report
March 28, 2026
Former Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back
Rachaad White wanted a bigger role in the backfield, which is why he left the Buccaneers in free agency, and he could get his wish in 2026 with the Washington Commanders. The 27-year-old former third-rounder (91st overall) in 2022 out of Arizona State averaged 3.9 yards per carry for 2,656 rushing yards and 14 rushing touchdowns on 677 rushing attempts in his first four seasons with the Bucs. He also added 205 catches for 1,450 yards and 11 receiving touchdowns, so White does have a three-down skill set. The problem for his fantasy value is that the Commanders also signed
Jerome Ford, and second-year back
Jacory Croskey-Merritt could be pushing for a bigger role in Year 2. At the very least, though, White could be a very useful RB in point-per-reception leagues as Washington's primary pass-catching option out of the backfield as the Commanders' offense looks to bounce back in 2026. Last year in Tampa, White had 132 carries for 572 yards and four touchdowns, adding a career-low 40 catches for 218 yards through the air in 17 games (eight starts). White's dynasty stock should see a slight boost with his move to D.C.

March 28, 2026
Atlanta Hawks center
Jock Landale (shoulder) is available to play ahead of Saturday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Landale is back in the mix following a one-game absence due to a shoulder injury. Fellow big man
Onyeka Okongwu (finger) is out, which means Landale should have an expanded role. Landale should start and play 25-plus minutes without Okongwu on the court. When he gets extra minutes, Landale is usually able to capitalize. Fantasy managers in need of help on Saturday should consider Landale as a streaming option.
--Andy WebbSource: NBA Injury Report
March 28, 2026
Atlanta Hawks guard
Dyson Daniels (toe) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Daniels was questionable coming into this game due to a left toe sprain. It appears to be significant enough to keep Daniels off the court for at least one game. His next chance to play will come on Monday against the Boston Celtics, so fantasy managers should check for another update ahead of that game. Without Daniels,
Corey Kispert and
Zaccharie Risacher should see expanded roles. Neither player is an ideal streaming option, but Risacher should offer some deep league value while Daniels sits out.

March 28, 2026
Seattle Kraken forward Shane Wright (undisclosed) won't finish Saturday's tilt against the Buffalo Sabres. The team ruled him out for the rest of the game midway through the second period. Wright was also hurt in Thursday's win over Tampa Bay and may have already been in some discomfort before the puck dropped on Saturday. The 22-year-old had an assist on Thursday, bringing his total to 26 points (11 goals, 15 assists) in 71 games. He hasn't missed any games this season, but Wright may now need to take some time off to heal after being limited in back-to-back games.

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher
Zack Wheeler (shoulder) looked solid on the mound during his first minor-league rehab start with Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Saturday. The right-hander tossed three innings, allowing two hits, one walk, and striking out three batters. The plan was for Wheeler to throw 45 pitches, but he only needed 38 to get through three innings. Now, the next step is for Wheeler to make another rehab start against Triple-A Durham. After that, Wheeler will make a start at Double-A Reading. The 35-year-old is currently working his way back after undergoing surgery in September. The timetable for Wheeler's return isn't clear, but his season debut should be sometime in April. Wheeler should be stashed in all fantasy formats.

Calgary Flames forward Connor Zary (upper body) won't be part of the lineup on Saturday against the Vancouver Canucks. The 24-year-old returned to practice on Friday but will miss a fourth consecutive game. Zary's exit from the lineup allowed Tyson Gross to make his NHL debut last weekend. In Saturday's matchup, we will see another new face among the forward group, with Brennan Othmann ready to make his team debut. The Flames acquired Othmann from the New York Rangers on March 6. Although the 23-year-old has found some offensive success in the AHL, Othmann hasn't been productive in the big league, recording one goal and zero assists in 17 outings this season.

Chicago White Sox infielder
Curtis Mead has been traded to the Washington Nationals in exchange for catcher Boston Smith. It didn't take long for the White Sox to find a trade partner after designating Mead for assignment before Opening Day. Mead doesn't offer a ton of upside with the bat, but is a decent depth option. Last season, Mead slashed .233/.299/.321 with three home runs, 19 RBI, and five steals in 90 games between the Tampa Bay Rays and White Sox. The 25-year-old is unlikely to play enough to warrant looking at in fantasy leagues. As for Smith, he was drafted by the Nationals in the sixth round of the 2025 Amateur Draft. The 23-year-old figures to begin his career in the lower levels of the minor league system.

New York Rangers center Noah Laba (lower body) will be a game-time decision for Sunday's matchup with the Florida Panthers. He has been out for five games due to a lower-body injury but could return to the lineup on Sunday afternoon. Laba has had a fine rookie campaign, with 21 points (nine goals, 12 assists) in 65 games. Jonny Brodzinski has played regularly during Laba's absence and seems to have secured his place in the lineup for Sunday after scoring two goals in Friday's 6-1 victory over Chicago. Taylor Raddysh is projected to be a healthy scratch against Florida if Laba returns.

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher
Michael McGreevy was locked in against the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday. McGreevy was stellar as he tossed six no-hit innings versus the Rays. The right-hander was pulled out of the game before allowing a hit. Sadly, the Cardinals' bullpen was unable to hold the lead for McGreevy. He finished this outing with six shutout innings, allowing zero hits, walking two batters, while striking out five in the no-decision. The 25-year-old registered a 4.42 ERA, 1.25 WHIP, and a 58:20 K/BB ratio across 17 games (16 starts) in 2025. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect McGreevy to continue having this type of success. His velocity has been down all spring and surrendered some hard-hit balls that found gloves on Saturday. There could be some mixed league value, but McGreevy is far from a must-have fantasy option despite a stellar outing.

March 28, 2026
New York Rangers goaltender Jonathan Quick (upper body) will remain sidelined on Sunday against the Florida Panthers. The veteran netminder was injured at practice a week ago, and it's unclear when the Rangers can count on Quick again. As a backup goalie, Quick has been quite busy in 2025-26, making 22 starts. He has posted a 5-16-2 record, a 3.19 goals-against average, a .889 save percentage, and two shutouts. Dylan Garand has replaced Quick on the roster, going 1-0-1 over his first two career appearances. The 23-year-old will be Igor Shesterkin's backup on Sunday.

The New England Patriots released veteran wide receiver
Stefon Diggs on March 11, and the 32-year-old veteran pass-catcher remains on the open market at the tail end of March. The Patriots are reportedly open to Diggs returning at a reduced cost, but that's unlikely to happen after they signed former Green Bay Packers receiver
Romeo Doubs in free agency. Diggs, a former fifth-round pick by the Minnesota Vikings in 2015 out of Maryland, had his seventh 1,000-yard receiving campaign in 17 regular-season games in 2025, adding 85 receptions (102 targets) and four touchdowns. The four-time Pro Bowler with the Buffalo Bills from 2020 to 2023 has been greeted with a cold market so far this offseason, but he should eventually latch on with another NFL team, although it might not happen until after the draft at the end of April. At this point in Diggs' career, it's unlikely that he'll be a bona fide WR1 for any team that he signs with.

St. Louis Cardinals infielder
JJ Wetherholt came up clutch for his team during Saturday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. Wetherholt blasted his first career home run on Thursday and had more fun in his second career game. It was mostly a quiet game for the rookie infielder until he came up to the plate in extra innings. Wetherholt smacked a single off right-hander
Griffin Jax to score two runs and win the game. He's 3-for-9 with one homer, four RBI, and one stolen base over two games. It has been an exciting beginning to Wetherholt's career and a great start for the Cardinals. The rookie infielder should be rostered in most fantasy formats at the moment.
