Free agent wide receiver
Jauan Jennings remains unsigned as of March 31. The new league year started several weeks ago, but none of the 32 NFL teams have been able to reach a deal with the former San Francisco 49ers receiver. While a return to the Bay Area isn't impossible, it seems likely that he'll be donning new threads in 2026. The 49ers have indicated they'll probably move on from Jennings, especially after signing
Mike Evans. That leaves some uncertainty ahead for Jennings, who is coming off back-to-back top-34 finishes at the wide receiver position in fantasy football. Just last season, he caught 55 passes for 643 yards and a career-high nine touchdowns in 15 games. Jennings can be a high-end No. 2 receiver on most NFL rosters, and perhaps even a No. 1 on some others. With that being said, we wouldn't be surprised if he waits to sign until after the NFL Draft, when there's more clarity about the depth chart within each organization.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver
Ricky Pearsall entered this offseason as a candidate for more targets with
Jauan Jennings and
Brandon Aiyuk both expected to depart. However, the 49ers' rather unexpected decision to sign
Mike Evans has left Pearsall right back where he started this offseason: in the No. 2 receiver role. Operating in that same role last season, Pearsall caught 36 passes for 528 yards and zero touchdowns across nine games. He never played in more than four consecutive games due to injury, and he was held to fewer than five catches in two-thirds of his contests. All in all, Pearsall likely projects best as a No. 2 receiver, so we're not surprised to see that the 49ers signed a new No. 1. Still, it certainly limits Pearsall's floor and ceiling. Plus, it's not just Evans who will steal volume from Pearsall. Tight end
George Kittle (Achilles) will fetch a boatload of targets when healthy, and running back
Christian McCaffrey remains the centerpiece of this offense. There's not a lot of momentum behind Pearsall's name in dynasty fantasy football, so it's tough to sell high on him at this point. Managers are better off holding him and trading him at his peak value if Evans misses time due to injury.

Texas Rangers starting pitcher
Jack Leiter allowed two earned runs, five hits, and one walk during Monday's 5-2 victory over the Baltimore Orioles. He also struck out eight batters and earned the win. It was an impressive season-opening outing from the young right-hander, who is looking to build off a breakout campaign in 2025, when he went 10-10 with a 3.86 ERA and 8.78 K/9 across 29 starts. Now that he has established himself as a consistent rotation piece, he should rack up innings and become an intriguing starting pitching option for fantasy baseball managers. As it stands, he ranks #62 among starters in RotoBaller's latest fantasy baseball rankings. He's projected to return to the mound on Sunday, April 5, against the Cincinnati Reds. It'll be an exciting pitching matchup as Leiter toes the rubber opposite
Chase Burns.

Cincinnati Reds right-handed pitcher
Chase Burns allowed zero runs, one hit, and three walks over five innings of work during his start against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Monday. He struck out seven batters along the way and ultimately earned the win. Burns was cruising, but given that it was his first outing of the regular season, manager Terry Francona pulled him after just 78 pitches. His fastball velocity averaged out to 98.3 mph, consistent with his velocity numbers from his rookie season in 2025. The 23-year-old continues to be an impressive starting pitching option in fantasy baseball, ranking #37 among starters in RotoBaller's latest rankings. He'll return to the mound on Sunday, April 5, against the Texas Rangers.

San Francisco Giants relief pitcher
Ryan Walker allowed two runs but earned the save during Monday's 3-2 win over the San Diego Padres. Walker entered with a 3-0 lead, and he allowed a walk and a two-run homer before recording the final out to secure the victory. He also struck out one batter along the way. It wasn't a very pretty outing, but he earned the save nonetheless. Each of Walker's last two appearances has come in the ninth inning, so it appears Giants manager Tony Vitello plans to use him as the club's closer for now. The two-pitch righty has struck out three batters over 2.1 innings so far this year, but he needs to cut down on walks and induce more ground balls in order to produce better results going forward. He currently ranks #19 among relievers in RotoBaller's latest fantasy baseball rankings for 2026.
--Andersen PickardSource: RotoBaller
March 31, 2026
Arizona Diamondbacks closer
Paul Sewald pitched a scoreless ninth inning on Monday, earning the save in his team's 9-6 win over the Detroit Tigers. He struck out one batter en route to securing his first save of the 2026 season. It's been a small sample size of just 1.1 innings so far this year for Sewald, but so far, he's been productive. He has retired all four batters he's faced, and he has an impressive 76.5% strike rate. That rate might not be sustainable, but still, it's encouraging to see him find the zone with such consistency. We're also intrigued that the average fastball velocity has jumped to 92.2 mph, which is his highest mark since 2023. If he can continue to earn saves, limit walks, and generally pitch effectively, he'll soar higher than his current rank as the #28 reliever in RotoBaller's latest fantasy baseball rankings.

March 31, 2026
Cincinnati Reds reliever
Connor Phillips worked around two walks to earn the save while pitching a scoreless ninth inning against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Monday. With the Reds leading by two, manager Terry Francona turned to Phillips for the first save opportunity of his three-year major league career. He had some trouble with control but managed to keep Pittsburgh off the board, preserving Cincinnati's 2-0 lead. Phillips was only used in the ninth inning on Monday because closer
Emilio Pagan had pitched each of the two previous days. Going forward, as long as Pagan is rested, he'll get the save situations for the Reds. As a result, managers should not rush to add Phillips in fantasy baseball leagues.

March 31, 2026
Texas Rangers relief pitcher
Tyler Alexander recorded his second save of the season during Monday's win over the Baltimore Orioles. Alexander retired all three batters he faced in a scoreless ninth inning, including two via the strikeout. He has allowed zero earned runs over three innings of work this year with two saves, one hit, zero walks, and three strikeouts. Alexander doesn't have elite velocity — his fastball is averaging 89.9 mph — but he makes up for it with an impressive slider that grades out at 114 Stuff+, according to FanGraphs' models.
Robert Garcia is the Rangers' closer, but the Rangers seem to have plenty of trust in Alexander handling high-leverage save situations when Garcia is unavailable. If he keeps it up, he could generate some streaming appeal in fantasy baseball.

Toronto Maple Leafs forward William Nylander contributed one goal and three assists in Monday's 5-4 overtime win against the Anaheim Ducks. Three of his points were recorded in the third period as Toronto came back from a 3-1 deficit. Nylander had two assists on the power play. Although the Maple Leafs have struggled in 2025-26, Nylander has shown world-class form, sitting just outside the league's top 10 with an average of 1.22 points per game. He leads Toronto in scoring despite missing significant time due to injury. Across 58 outings, Nylander has tallied 71 points (26 goals and 45 assists).

San Jose Sharks center Macklin Celebrini joined an exclusive list of players on Monday night with a three-point effort in a 5-4 win over the St. Louis Blues. He became the sixth teenager in NHL history to record a 100-point season after Sidney Crosby, Wayne Gretzky, Jimmy Carson, Mario Lemieux, and Dale Hawerchuk. Joe Thornton and Erik Karlsson were previously the only Sharks players to reach 100 points in a single season. Celebrini had two goals and one assist against the Blues, all in the first period. He picked up two points with the man advantage. After erupting for five points in two games, Celebrini has 38 goals and 63 assists in 72 outings this season.

Seattle Kraken forward Jaden Schwartz (face) has traveled with the team for Tuesday's road game against the Edmonton Oilers, Mike Benton of the Kraken Audio Network reports. The veteran has been out of action for 10 games due to a facial injury. Schwartz took a skate blade to the face during a game against the Ottawa Senators on March 7. Shane Wright (undisclosed) has been banged up lately, so Schwartz could be his replacement on the third line. In 42 outings this campaign, Schwartz has posted 10 goals and 11 assists.

Buffalo Sabres left wing Jordan Greenway (abdomen) is available for selection on Tuesday against the New York Islanders. He has been out of action for over two months due to an abdominal injury but participated fully in Monday's practice. Greenway skated with Sam Carrick and Beck Malenstyn, so it looks like he will return to action on Tuesday as part of the fourth line. The 29-year-old has been limited to 33 appearances this season, registering five points (one goal, four assists), 58 SOG, and 49 hits. Tyson Kozak will be the odd man out with Greenway's return.

Ottawa Senators defenseman Jake Sanderson (upper body) won't be in the lineup on Tuesday against the Florida Panthers, Andrew Wilimek of the Senators' official site reports. He was back at practice on Monday but remains day-to-day with an upper-body injury. Sanderson wore a non-contact jersey on Monday, so he isn't yet fully healthy. Still, the fact that he's skating again is a good sign that Ottawa will have Sanderson back for the final stretch of the regular season. He has been a key player for the team, recording 48 points (11 goals, 37 assists), 133 SOG, 116 blocks, and a plus-nine rating across 62 appearances. With Thomas Chabot (forearm) also on the shelf, Carter Yakemchuk has moved to the first power-play unit. Tyler Kleven and Jordan Spence have expanded roles as well.

Anaheim Ducks forward Cutter Gauthier (upper body) saw only 3:20 of ice time in Monday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs. He scored a power-play goal midway through the first period but left the game shortly afterward due to an upper-body injury. Gauthier has been a revelation for the Ducks. On Monday night, he became only the fourth player in franchise history to score 12 or more goals in a single calendar month. He leads his team with 38 goals and 65 points in 73 games. Only seven players in the league have netted more goals this season. If Gauthier can't recover in time for Wednesday's tilt against San Jose, Frank Vatrano would have a chance to re-enter the lineup.

Colorado Avalanche defenseman Cale Makar suffered an upper-body injury in Monday's 9-2 victory over the Calgary Flames. After setting up three goals, Makar sat out the third period. The two-time Norris Trophy winner hasn't missed any games this season, but it's unclear whether he will be healthy enough to face the Vancouver Canucks on Wednesday night. It's been another huge campaign for Makar, who ranks third among defensemen with 75 points (20 goals, 55 assists) in 73 games. On the defensive end, he has recorded 117 blocks. Sam Malinski and Brent Burns will have bigger roles on defense if Makar misses additional time.

Brooklyn Nets forward
Josh Minott (hip) will suit up on Tuesday against the Charlotte Hornets. A hip problem forced Minott to miss Sunday's matchup with Sacramento, but the team hasn't included him on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's action. Minott has recently returned to fantasy radars, averaging 15.7 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.7 steals, and 1.0 blocks over his last seven appearances. Brooklyn's limited frontcourt options mean Minott is poised to have a significant role again on Tuesday. Meanwhile,
E.J. Liddell will have a tougher time finding minutes in the rotation.

Milwaukee Bucks center
Myles Turner (knee) hasn't been listed on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. The former Pacer is set to return to the lineup after sitting out Sunday's loss to the Clippers due to right patella tendinopathy.
Jericho Sims started at center against the Clippers and will likely resume a backup role on Tuesday night. Turner's first year with the Bucks has been disappointing, and his numbers in March have been especially underwhelming. Over 13 games, the veteran big man has averaged 8.8 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 1.0 steals.
--Taavi PailkSource: NBA Injury Report
March 31, 2026
Milwaukee Bucks forward
Kyle Kuzma (Achilles) is listed as probable for a meeting with the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday night. He hasn't played for four games due to right Achilles tendonopathy. The probable tag suggests that Milwaukee will have Kuzma back in the lineup against Dallas. With
Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) and
Kevin Porter Jr. (knee) out of the lineup, Kuzma could be one of the primary offensive options for the Bucks. He has averaged 13.1 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 2.8 assists in March.
Pete Nance may lose his starting spot with Kuzma back, but he hasn't been very productive anyway.
--Taavi PailkSource: NBA Injury Report
March 31, 2026
Milwaukee Bucks guard
Ryan Rollins (hip) is probable for Tuesday's matchup with the Dallas Mavericks. He didn't play in Sunday's loss to the Clippers due to a sore left hip flexor.
Andre Jackson Jr. started that game and will likely move back to the bench on Tuesday night. Rollins' return will also affect
Gary Trent Jr., who took on a leading role on offense against the Clippers with a season-high 36 points. Recently, Rollins has struggled to perform at a consistent level. However, his average numbers have been solid, as the 23-year-old has posted 16.7 points, 4.5 rebounds, 6.2 assists, and 1.6 steals per game in March.
--Taavi PailkSource: NBA Injury Report
March 31, 2026
Milwaukee Bucks forward
Bobby Portis (wrist) will skip a fourth consecutive game on Tuesday against the Dallas Mavericks. The Bucks have just been eliminated from playoff contention, and Portis is nursing a left wrist sprain, so it doesn't make sense for the team to have him on the floor when he's less than 100 percent.
Pete Nance and
Taurean Prince should continue to benefit from Portis' absence against Dallas. Due to injuries, Nance has become a regular starter for Milwaukee, but Prince has provided better production. He finished Sunday's loss to the Clippers with 18 points, six rebounds, eight assists, two steals, and one block.

Phoenix Suns guard/forward
Dillon Brooks (hand) will return to action on Tuesday against the Orlando Magic, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports. He hasn't played since Feb. 21 due to a fractured hand. Brooks has had a big campaign in Phoenix, taking his offensive game to another level. He is averaging a career-high 20.9 points per game, along with 3.7 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 1.0 steals. His return will bump either
Royce O'Neale or
Collin Gillespie to the second unit. Over the final stretch, Brooks may not be as productive as before due to
Jalen Green's presence.

Patrick Rodgers missed the cut in Houston simply because the birdies were not there. The American golfer went 72-72 during the first two rounds. It was the first time Rodgers was in the negative when it came to strokes gained to putting since Scottsdale (WM Phoenix Open). Was last week a blip? That is possible considering Rodgers' approach shots were so erratic and so were his missed putts. The 2.76 strokes lost overall was his worst event since the Betfred British Masters last August. Given the numbers, Rodgers is in an event where outrageously low scores are not commonplace. He did have a Top 5 in San Antonio as recently as 2023 so maybe that betting option of a Top 20 or Top 10 is again a potential choice.

Minnesota Timberwolves forward
Jaden McDaniels (knee) is week-to-week due to a left knee patella tendinopathy and a bone bruise. He sat out a second consecutive contest on Monday night against the Dallas Mavericks. McDaniels has become a key contributor for the Timberwolves, averaging a career-high 14.8 points, 4.2 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.0 blocks, and 1.1 steals in 2025-26. His absence should allow
Ayo Dosunmu to stay in the starting lineup despite
Anthony Edwards' return to the lineup.
Kyle Anderson
could also have a bigger role until Minnesota is back at full strength.

Sepp Straka has enjoyed a very solid 2026 season so far. The Austrian golfer has four Top 25 results in six events and comes off a T-8 at THE PLAYERS Championship. Straka is capable of the odd implosion like round. There was Round 3 at The Genesis Invitational (80) and the 76 at TPC Sawgrass. Straka's numbers do not jump off the page off the tee but his balance does. It is why he ranks 22nd strokes gained overall at 1.082. Straka's fortune this week boils more down to putting. He averages 29.4 putts per round on Sundays which is that one red flag. Starts are key and something that Straka has worked on which makes him a solid early betting option to lead after Thursday. Top 10 and Top 20 bets are also viable choices for Straka again.

Nick Taylor missed his first cut of 2026 at the Valspar Championship. The Canadian golfer missed quite a few birdie opportunities due to errant drives. Taylor was 24% off average distance and 22% off the average accuracy with his driver. With TPC San Antonio rolling in at 7,435 yards, the course features three Par 5's with lengths of 590 yards or greater. A similar result came in from the Arnold Palmer but Taylor was able to offset that with better putting. He ranks 93rd in strokes gained as even numbered years seem to be down ones in terms of putting. With his final rounds averaging 29.64 putts per round, Taylor is a fade at least for the weekend in DFS especially. Chances of seeing the weekend are almost a coin flip which sets up different betting options.

Keith Michell is enjoying his most consistent stretch of golf in a long while. The American golfer has made all nine cuts in 2026. Furthermore, he comes off a T-14 last week in Houston. TPC San Antonio rewards longer hitters and Mitchell averages 312.1 yards off the tee (27th). His overall strokes gained ranks ninth in driving (0.653). The one real concern is that he wastes putts in the middle rounds. Mitchell averages 30.11 putts per second round. It seems he has one round where shots go errant more and putts do too. This is the weekend for Mitchell to put four rounds together. He has three straight Top 20 results in San Antonio and that makes him an attractive betting option again.

Houston Astros veteran second baseman
Jose Altuve can still hit. The 35-year-old nine-time All-Star, former MVP, and three-time batting champion had a big night as the team's leadoff hitter in the 8-1 win over the Boston Red Sox, going 4-for-4 at the plate with two home runs, four runs scored, and a walk to boost his early-season batting average to .412 and his OPS to 1.389. Both of Altuve's home runs in the first game of the series at Daikin Park came off right-hander
Johan Oviedo. It was Altuve's 15th career multi-homer game. Father Time remains undefeated, and Altuve is no spring chicken anymore, but Monday night's performance is a reminder that he still has plenty of fantasy value as a starting second baseman in mixed fantasy leagues. If Altuve can remain healthy, we wouldn't rule out his chances of posting another 20-20 season in his 17th year in the big leagues.

Clemson cornerback Avieon Terrell (hamstring), who is projected to be a first-round pick in the 2026 NFL draft next month, aggravated his hamstring injury during the first run of his private pro day workout on Monday, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Terrell couldn't take part in his school's pro day back in early March. The 21-year-old defensive back was expected to have 29 teams in attendance to watch him on Monday. Depending on how much time Terrell will have to miss this time around because of his hamstring injury, he could fall out of the first round entirely next month. At the scouting combine at the end of February in Indianapolis, Terrell logged a 34-inch vertical jump and a 10-foot, three-inch broad jump. In his three seasons at Clemson, he had 125 combined tackles (90 solo), four sacks, nine tackles for loss, three interceptions, eight forced fumbles, and three fumble recoveries in 39 total games for the Tigers.

New York Jets general manager Darren Mougey said he expects the team to exercise the fifth-year option on defensive end Will McDonald, according to Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic. McDonald entered the NFL as the 15th overall pick by the Jets in 2023 out of Iowa State. The 26-year-old defensive lineman will stick around at least two more seasons with Gang Green after recording 72 total tackles (46 solo), 21.5 sacks, 25 tackles for loss, 48 QB hits, three pass breakups, three forced fumbles, and two fumble recoveries in 47 games (29 starts) in his three years with the team. He missed the final two games of the 2025 campaign due to a knee injury, but he's expected to be healed up and ready to go for the start of the 2026 regular season in September. In the last two years with the Jets over 32 games, McDonald has 18.5 sacks and 58 total tackles.

Rickie Fowler missed his first cut of the year at the Texas Children's Houston Open, losing over 4.1 strokes on approach in the process. He looks to get back on track at the Valero Texas Open, where he has shown a mix of volatility and upside, with three finishes of T17 or better alongside two missed cuts in six appearances. Fowler had been solid all-around this season, ranking 29th in total strokes gained (+0.857 per round), 11th in putting (+0.710), and 17th in total driving. His approach play has fallen to 72nd on tour, largely due to losing strokes in four straight events. While he has been accurate off the tee (17th), his long iron play has been questionable, ranking just 116th in proximity from 200+, a distance that made up over 26% of approach shots here last year. After back-to-back disappointing results, Fowler carries clear boom-or-bust potential at $8,800 on DraftKings.
