Jordan Goodwin on Track to Return Saturday
Phoenix Suns guard/forward Jordan Goodwin (calf) could return to action on Saturday in Game 3 against the Oklahoma City Thunder, as the team has listed him as questionable on the injury report. Although Goodwin hasn't officially been cleared to return, he was a full participant in Friday's practice, which is a strong sign that the 27-year-old will be available after missing one game. Collin Gillespie started in Goodwin's absence in Game 2 and will likely return to the second unit on Saturday. Goodwin performed well during the Play-In Tournament and, if he gets the green light to play, will improve Phoenix in several areas, including defense and rebounding.

Giants Trade Up to Pick 74, Select Malachi Fields
The New York Giants have traded up to pick 74 in the 2026 NFL Draft to select University of Notre Dame wide receiver Malachi Fields. Per ESPN's Adam Schefter, New York sent the Cleveland Browns picks 105 and 145, along with a 2027 fourth-round selection, in exchange for pick 74. Fields spent the first four seasons of his collegiate career at the University of Virginia before transferring to Notre Dame for his fifth year. Across 12 games with the Fighting Irish in 2025, he recorded 36 receptions for 630 yards and five touchdowns. Early in his NFL career, Fields will likely be battling with veteran wideouts Darnell Mooney and Calvin Austin III for playing time with the Giants. If it all comes together for Fields, he could be a dangerous downfield threat in the NFL.

Saints Select Oscar Delp With 73rd Overall Pick
The New Orleans Saints have selected University of Georgia tight end Oscar Delp with the 73rd overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Delp played four seasons at Georgia, recording 20 receptions for 261 yards and a touchdown across 14 games as a senior in 2025. While Delp recorded just 70 receptions across 55 career games at Georgia, he's had his receiving opportunities limited by playing behind talented tight ends in Brock Bowers and Lawson Luckie. Delp tested out as a high-level athlete for his position and is thought to have some upside as a three-down tight end. The Saints have veteran tight ends Juwan Johnson and Noah Fant currently at the top of their tight end depth chart, which will likely limit Delp's playing time as a rookie. Still, deep-league dynasty managers may want to consider taking a flyer on Delp.

Grayson Allen Listed as Questionable for Saturday
Phoenix Suns guard/forward Grayson Allen (hamstring) is once again questionable on the injury report before Saturday's Game 3 against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Strangely, the Suns haven't played their fourth-leading scorer in the series yet, despite Allen being upgraded from questionable to available for both Game 1 and Game 2. After practicing fully on Friday, the 30-year-old will likely be active again on Saturday, but it remains uncertain whether he'll actually get playing time.

Mark Williams Won't Play Saturday
Phoenix Suns center Mark Williams (foot) will remain out on Saturday against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Phoenix's first-round matchup against the defending champions reaches Game 3, but Williams hasn't played in the series yet due to a left-foot injury. Oso Ighodaro will continue to start at center, with Khaman Maluach handling backup minutes. In the first two games, Ighodaro was productive on the glass, averaging 8.5 rebounds. However, he has made a limited offensive impact, scoring 3.5 points per game. Maluach hasn't done much for the Suns either, notching 2.0 points and 2.5 rebounds across 16.5 minutes.

Commanders Use 71st Overall Pick on Antonio Williams
The Washington Commanders have selected Clemson wide receiver prospect Antonio Williams with the 71st overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. A four-year contributor at school, Williams had 130 catches, 1,508 yards, and 15 touchdowns over his last two seasons. This selection addresses an area of need for the Commanders. Washington lost Deebo Samuel Sr. in free agency, leaving Terry McLaurin as the team's only fantasy-relevant receiver. The Commanders continue to be linked to 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk, but for now, Williams should slot into the No. 2 role behind McLaurin in this Jayden Daniels-led offense. He entered the draft as the overall WR93 in RotoBaller's dynasty fantasy football rankings.

Bears Select Sam Roush With 69th Pick
The Chicago Bears have selected Stanford tight end prospect Sam Roush with the 69th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. He joins a relatively crowded tight end room that already features 2025 first-rounder Colston Loveland and veteran Cole Kmet. There's still a fit for Roush here, as he's more of a blocker while the Bears' returning tight ends excel as pass catchers. With that being said, he did get more involved as a receiver during his final season at school, catching 49 passes for 545 yards and two touchdowns. He excelled most in pass blocking, where he posted a 68.8 PFF grade. With Loveland and Kmet presumably ahead of Roush on the depth chart, it might be a little while before the Stanford product makes a consistent fantasy impact. He entered the draft outside the top 85 tight ends in RotoBaller's dynasty rankings, and he figures to remain an afterthought in fantasy football because of the landing spot.

Victor Wembanyama Will Miss Game 3 Against Trail Blazers
San Antonio Spurs forward/center Victor Wembanyama (concussion) has been ruled out for Game 3 against the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday night. Wembanyama went through shootaround on Friday, but he hasn't been cleared for Friday's game after being listed as questionable on the initial injury report. San Antonio will miss Wembanyama's presence on both ends of the floor. His next chance to suit up will be on Sunday in Game 4. Luke Kornet will replace Wembanyama in the starting unit on Friday night and should have his hands full against Donovan Clingan and Robert Williams III.

Carson Beck Selected 65th Overall by Cardinals
The Arizona Cardinals selected University of Miami quarterback Carson Beck with the 65th overall pick to kick off the third round of the 2026 NFL draft on Friday night. The Cardinals were fully expected to take a signal-caller at some point in this year's draft, and it ends up coming with the first pick of the third round. The Cardinals released former first-rounder Kyler Murray (foot) after a disappointing and injury-plagued 2025 campaign. Veteran Jacoby Brissett took over for Murray last year and had a career year in a pass-heavy offense. Beck is the heir apparent in the desert under center now, and he could end up playing in 2026 under new head coach Mike LaFleur. There was a time when Beck was considered a potential first-rounder, but that all changed after he suffered a torn UCL in his right elbow in 2024. Beck is often compared to Jared Goff. The 6-foot-4, 233-pounder had questions about his arm strength after elbow surgery and finished his final collegiate season with a 72.4% completion percentage, 3,813 yards, 30 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions in 16 games played. Beck will most likely head into training camp competing with Gardner Minshew for the backup job, but if Brissett struggles early, there will be plenty of noise for the Cardinals to get the Beck era started.

Rams Select Max Klare With 61st Overall Pick
The Los Angeles Rams have selected Ohio State tight end Max Klare with the 61st overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Klare played the first three seasons of his collegiate career at Purdue before transferring to Ohio State for his redshirt junior season. Across 14 games with the Buckeyes in 2025, Klare recorded 43 receptions for 448 yards and two touchdowns. With Colby Parkinson, Tyler Higbee, Terrance Ferguson, Davis Allen, and Klare, the Rams have one of the deepest tight end rooms in the NFL. While Los Angeles utilized two and three-tight end personnel at a very high rate in 2025, it will likely still be difficult for Klare to see much playing time or target volume as a rookie.

Texans Select Marlin Klein With 59th Overall Pick
The Houston Texans have selected University of Michigan tight end Marlin Klein with the 59th overall pick of the 2026 NFL Draft. Across 11 games with the Wolverines in 2025, Klein recorded 24 receptions for 248 yards and one touchdown. While Klein's collegiate numbers don't stand out, he's regarded as a high-upside developmental prospect. Klein won't necessarily be expected to contribute right away in Houston, as the Texans have Dalton Schultz and Cade Stover atop their tight end depth chart. As a result, Klein has more fantasy appeal in dynasty formats than redraft leagues for 2026.

Eagles Acquire Jonathan Greenard, Sign him to Four-Year Extension
The Philadelphia Eagles have acquired outside linebacker Jonathan Greenard and the No. 244 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft from the Minnesota Vikings in exchange for the 98th overall pick in 2026 and a third-round pick in 2027. Additionally, the Eagles are signing Greenard to a four-year, $100 million contract extension that includes $50 million guaranteed. The trade has reportedly been in the works for several days, which helps to explain why the Eagles are turning around and signing him to a nine-figure extension so quickly. It's a huge addition to the Eagles' defense, as Greenard is a former Pro Bowler who had 24.5 sacks between 2023 and 2024. He was limited to just 12 games (10 starts) last year, during which he amassed 38 tackles, 10 tackles for loss, 12 quarterback hits, and three sacks.

Jaguars Select Nate Boerkircher With 56th Overall Pick
The Jacksonville Jaguars have selected Texas A&M tight end prospect Nate Boerkircher with the 56th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. This was the Jaguars' first selection of the draft, and they spent it on a tight end despite already having Brenton Strange on their roster. We shouldn't be too surprised by the addition, though, as pre-draft reporting indicated that the Jaguars wanted to come out of the draft with an impact tight end to complement Strange on offense. After four years with Nebraska, Boerkircher transferred to A&M for the 2025 season and ultimately tallied 19 catches, 198 yards, and three touchdowns. Those are underwhelming receiving metrics, and while the Jaguars do plan to get him more involved in the passing game, he's a blocker first and foremost. He posted a 72.2 PFF grade in run blocking last season. Ranked as the consensus #162 prospect in the draft according to NFLMockDraftDatabase.com, some might say this was a bit of a reach for Jaguars general manager James Gladstone. The fantasy rankings would tend to agree, as Boerkircher falls outside the top 85 tight ends in RotoBaller's latest dynasty rankings.

Eagles Select Eli Stowers at No. 54 Overall
The Philadelphia Eagles have selected Vanderbilt tight end prospect Eli Stowers with the 54th overall selection in the 2026 NFL Draft. Stowers is just the second tight end selected so far this year, as well as the first to hear his name called on Day 2. There had been rumblings of the Vandy product being a first-round pick, but he ended up going near the middle of the second. The 23-year-old caught 111 passes for 1,407 yards and nine touchdowns over his final two seasons at school. He'll offer the Eagles a long-term solution at the tight end position with Dallas Goedert slated to hit free agency (and widely expected to sign elsewhere) next offseason. Stowers might not have much redraft appeal as long as Goedert is healthy and on the team, but he could jump onto the weekly fantasy radar in 2027. Plus, he's an appealing dynasty option in this successful Eagles offense, ranking as the overall TE15 in RotoBaller's latest dynasty fantasy football rankings.

Steelers Trade Up, Select Germie Bernard With 47th Overall Pick
The Pittsburgh Steelers have traded up to pick 47 to select University of Alabama wide receiver Germie Bernard. Per NFL Network's Mike Garafolo, the Steelers are trading picks 53, 135, and 237 to the Indianapolis Colts in exchange for picks 47 and 249. Across 14 games with the Crimson Tide in 2025, Bernard hauled in 64 receptions for 862 yards and seven touchdowns. He also rushed for 101 yards and two touchdowns on 18 carries, so he could bring some dual-threat appeal for fantasy managers in 2026 and beyond. The Steelers have wide receivers DK Metcalf and Michael Pittman Jr. firmly atop their depth chart at the position. However, Bernard could be in a position to earn the team's WR3 role right away. If veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers does eventually return to Pittsburgh, Bernard's run-after-catch ability could lead to him seeing plenty of short-area targets.

Cowboys Acquire Dee Winters in Trade With the 49ers
The Dallas Cowboys have acquired linebacker Dee Winters from the San Francisco 49ers in exchange for the No. 152 overall selection in the fifth round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Winters started all 17 games last season, tallying 101 tackles, eight tackles for loss, and one interception (a 74-yard pick-six). The former sixth-round pick out of TCU is heading into a contract year as he wraps up his rookie contract. Dallas will now have the opportunity to extend him or let him play out the final year of his contract in a revamped Cowboys offense. The move makes sense roster-wise, as Dallas needed a linebacker upgrade desperately. Meanwhile, Winters became somewhat expendable in San Francisco after the 49ers re-signed Dre Greenlaw.

Browns Select Denzel Boston With 39th Overall Pick
The Cleveland Browns have selected University of Washington wide receiver prospect Denzel Boston with the 39th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. It's been an offense-heavy draft for the Browns and new head coach Todd Monken. Cleveland selected offensive tackle Spencer Fano and wide receiver KC Concepcion in the first round on Thursday night, and now, they add another receiver on Day 2. The Browns needed a major wide receiver boost after Jerry Jeudy and Cedric Tillman drastically underperformed last year. Boston broke out for 125 catches, 1,715 yards, and 20 touchdowns over his final two seasons at school. He and Concepcion will both compete for an immediate role in the Browns' offense during their rookie seasons. Boston already ranks as the overall WR34 in RotoBaller's latest dynasty fantasy football rankings.

Tari Eason, Reed Sheppard Move into Starting Five on Friday
Houston Rockets guards Tari Eason and Reed Sheppard will move into the starting five ahead of Friday's Game 3 against the Los Angeles Lakers. The Rockets will be without Kevin Durant (ankle), which is a huge blow to this team that is already down 2-0 in the series. With that being said, Houston will shake it up and shift Josh Okogie to the bench with one of Eason or Sheppard taking his spot in the starting unit. Sheppard dropped 17 points and eight assists during Saturday's Game 1 loss. He was quiet on Tuesday, but could be an interesting DFS option without Durant on the court. Eason probably has less overall upside, but is a more consistent option ahead of Friday's slate. Both players will need to pick it up offensively without Durant available on Friday.

49ers Take De'Zhaun Stribling to Kick Off Second Round
The San Francisco 49ers selected Ole Miss wide receiver De'Zhaun Stribling with the 33rd overall pick at the top of Round 2 in the 2026 NFL draft on Friday night. Stribling has the potential to be a true WR1 down the road in San Francisco, and he's an excellent jump-ball artist down the field at 6-foot-2, 202 pounds. The Niners entered the offseason with receiver being an area of need with Brandon Aiyuk's (knee) time with the organization coming to an end, and the team not expected to re-sign Jauan Jennings. They signed future Hall of Famer Mike Evans in free agency and have now added Stribling through the draft. Stribling played two years each in college at Washington State and Oklahoma State before finishing off with Ole Miss in 2025, where he caught 55 passes for 811 yards and six touchdowns in 15 games played. Stribling could be a dynasty sleeper while working with quarterback Brock Purdy, mainly because of his elite vertical burst down the field. The selection of Stribling is bad news for the long-term value of Ricky Pearsall, a former first-rounder.

Nickeil Alexander-Walker Wins Most Improved Player Award
Atlanta Hawks guard Nickeil Alexander-Walker won the NBA's Most Improved Player award on Friday. A well-deserved win for Alexander-Walker, who posted an impressive 2025-2026 season. During the regular season, Alexander-Walker averaged 20.8 points, 1.3 steals, and 3.2 three-pointers across 33.4 minutes per game. The 27-year-old has bounced around since entering the league in 2019, but appears to have found a home in Atlanta. His excellent play is a key reason as to why the Hawks made the postseason. He put together top-five value at his position this season and has certainly raised his fantasy value heading into the 2026-2027 campaign.

Immanuel Quickley to Miss Rest of First-Round Series
Toronto Raptors guard Immanuel Quickley (hamstring) will miss the entire first-round series against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Quickley hasn't been able to suit up at all this series after suffering a hamstring injury during the regular-season finale. He suffered a setback during his rehab process and he won't be available at all during the first round. This is a major blow to the Raptors, who are already down in the series. The continued absence of Quickley should mean that Jamal Snead and Ja'Kobe Walter will see larger workloads for the rest of the series. Neither player is a great option, but Snead is the better choice between the two right now. If the Raptors do advance to the next round, fantasy managers should check back to see if Quickley will be available for that series.

Tatsuya Imai "Looked Good" in Friday's Bullpen Session
Houston Astros right-hander Tatsuya Imai (arm) threw a bullpen session on Friday and "looked good," manager Joe Espada told Brian McTaggart of MLB.com. Imai's next step will be to start a minor-league rehab assignment. The first-year MLB player tossed 45 pitches during his bullpen on Friday. The 27-year-old Japanese native has had a rude awakening to the big leagues, posting a 7.27 ERA and 2.08 WHIP with 13 walks and 11 strikeouts in 8 2/3 innings in his first two starts in the United States before landing on the 15-day injured list on April 13 with right-arm fatigue. Imai is still adjusting to life in the States, and he'll still need at least several rehab starts before the Astros feel comfortable reinserting him into their starting lineup. If the rest of his 2026 season looks anything like the beginning of his tenure with the Astros, fantasy managers could be in for a roller-coaster ride. Imai needs to show better control of his pitches first if he wants to turn things around. He's currently rostered in just over half of Yahoo leagues.

Kevin Durant is Ruled Out for Game 3 on Friday
Houston Rockets forward Kevin Durant (ankle) has been officially ruled out ahead of Friday's Game 3 against the Los Angeles Lakers. Durant missed Game 1 due to a right knee issue, but was back on the court for Game 2. Unfortunately, Durant suffered a left ankle sprain during Tuesday's loss. The Rockets are already down 2-0 in the series and will have a tough hill to climb without Durant on Friday. The expectation is that Reed Sheppard will move into the starting five. He was scoreless across 11 minutes of action on Tuesday, but his value will increase without Durant on the court. Tari Eason and Jae'Sean Tate are candidates to see more time on the court as well. Out of the bunch, Eason seems to be the most trustworthy DFS option in Durant's absence. Amen Thompson and Alperen Sengun will be asked to do the heavy lifting on Friday.

JR Ritchie to Remain in Big Leagues With the Braves
Atlanta Braves right-handed pitching prospect JR Ritchie will remain with the big-league club for now because "we wanted him to be an option in the picture moving forward," manager Walt Weiss told Chad Bishop of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Richie will get more chances after looking great in his major-league debut on Thursday against the Washington Nationals, in which he allowed two earned runs over seven innings with seven strikeouts and two walks for his first major-league win. The team's No. 2 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, will remain with Atlanta for now, but it's unclear if that will be in a starting or relief role. It might all depend on when right-hander Spencer Strider (oblique) comes off the 15-day injured list to make his season debut. At the very least, Ritchie deserves to be stashed in dynasty/keeper and NL-only leagues for his upside if he stays in Atlanta's starting rotation. He's currently rostered in 20% of Yahoo leagues.

Joel Embiid Officially Ruled Out for Game 3
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (abdomen) has been officially ruled out ahead of Friday's Game 3 against the Boston Celtics. Embiid hasn't been able to suit up this series, and it remains unclear if he'll play at all. The big man is still recovering from an appendicitis that has kept him sidelined for the last two weeks. His continued absence should mean Andre Drummond and Adem Bona continue splitting up the minutes at center. Between the two, Drummond is the better DFS option after nearly registering a double-double during Tuesday's game. Fantasy managers will have to check back for another update on Embiid ahead of Game 4.

Saints Among the Teams Showing Interest in Kayvon Thibodeaux
The New York Giants have engaged in trade talks surrounding defensive end Kayvon Thibodeaux, and the New Orleans Saints are among the teams showing "strong interest," sources told Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports. If a deal goes down for Thibodeaux, it could come as early as Friday night during the second and third rounds of the 2026 NFL draft. Even though the Giants recently dealt defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence to the Cincinnati Bengals for a first-rounder in this year's draft, they are open to moving Thibodeaux as well and continue to listen to offers. The Saints could use some more edge rushers, but they chose to address their offense in the first round on Thursday night by taking receiver Jordyn Tyson with the eighth overall pick. Thibodeaux, 25, was a former fifth overall pick in 2022 out of Oregon. He played in a career-low 10 games in 2025 and had a career-low 2.5 sacks, but NFL teams could be looking to buy low on him after he recorded 23.5 sacks in his first four NFL seasons. New York's selection of edge rusher Arvell Reese at fifth overall on Thursday night made Thibodeaux more expendable.

Rams, Matthew Stafford "Deep" in Contract Talks
The Los Angeles Rams raised plenty of eyebrows on Thursday night in the first round of the 2026 NFL draft when they took Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson at 13th overall, but NFL Network's Ian Rapoport says that head coach Sean McVay has made it clear that this is still MVP Matthew Stafford's team. Stafford is the QB of the present and the future in L.A., and the Rams and Stafford are "deep" in discussions about a contract extension. The Rams believe that there is a good chance that Stafford decides to continue his playing career beyond the 2026 season. At 38, Stafford is no spring chicken, but it didn't stop him from having the best season of his career in 2025, throwing for 4,707 yards for a career-high 46 touchdowns during the regular season. Durability should be a concern for fantasy managers in redraft leagues, but if healthy, there's no arguing that Stafford has some of the best receiving weapons in the NFL in receivers Puka Nacua and Davante Adams. The Rams drafted Simpson on Thursday night (and may have reached a bit) as the heir apparent to Stafford, but it sounds like he may not take over as the starting QB until 2028.

Willi Castro Absent From Lineup for Series Opener Against Mets
Colorado Rockies infielder Willi Castro (knee) is not in the team's starting lineup for Friday's series opener against the New York Mets at Citi Field, per MLB.com. Tyler Freeman will make the start at second base for Colorado and will bat cleanup against Mets right-hander Freddy Peralta. Castro is considered day-to-day right now after being pulled from Thursday's loss to the San Diego Padres early with right-knee soreness. The 29-year-old switch-hitting Puerto Rican super-utility man might find himself on the bench more often in Denver, even when he's healthy, since both Edouard Julien and Freeman have been swinging the bat better in the early going. In his first year with the Rockies, Castro is off to a .246/.316/.348 start with a .664 OPS, one home run, nine RBI, 10 runs scored, and two stolen bases. Freeman has yet to homer in his 41 at-bats, but he's gone 12-for-41 (.293) at the plate with seven RBI, two runs, and two steals. He should be considered a DFS sleeper out of the cleanup spot on Friday against Peralta.

Michael Harris II Scratched on Friday Against Phillies
Atlanta Braves manager Walt Weiss said that outfielder Michael Harris II (quadriceps) has been scratched from the starting lineup for Friday's series opener against the division-rival Philadelphia Phillies, according to Chad Bishop of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The Braves removed Harris from Thursday's win over the Washington Nationals early as a precaution with left-quadriceps tightness, and now he'll miss another game. Weiss said that Harris remains day-to-day, and the team doesn't expect him to have to land on the 10-day injured list. Eli White will take over again for Harris in center field on Friday and will bat ninth for the Braves versus Phillies rookie right-hander Andrew Painter. Harris' fantasy managers are hoping his minor quad injury doesn't interrupt his hot hitting at the plate of late. The 25-year-old left-handed hitter has gone 13-for-23 (.565) with four home runs, two doubles, nine RBI, and six runs scored in his last seven games, dating back to April 17. Check back on Saturday for Game 2 of the series against the Phillies to see if Harris is reinserted into the starting nine.

Eugenio Suarez Scratched on Friday With Mid-Back Pain
Cincinnati Reds third baseman/designated hitter Eugenio Suarez (back) has been scratched from the starting lineup on Friday for the game against the Detroit Tigers due to mid-back pain, according to Charlie Goldsmith of FOX 19. First baseman Nathaniel Lowe will serve as the team's designated hitter and bat sixth against Tigers left-hander Framber Valdez. Although Lowe has plenty of experience in his career against Valdez -- he's hit .269 against him with an .867 OPS, one home run, and three RBI in 26 at-bats -- fantasy managers in DFS will probably want to fade him in the lefty-lefty matchup. For now, we'll consider Suarez day-to-day. Fantasy managers will want to check back on Saturday to see if he's available to play in Game 2 of the series. The 34-year-old Venezuelan veteran has hit .231 (21-for-91) so far in his return to Cincy in 2026 with three homers, 11 RBI, and 10 runs scored in his first 25 games. Make sure you remove Suarez from your starting lineups on Friday.
