Jake Walman Plays Key Role in Comeback Victory
Edmonton Oilers defenseman Jake Walman finished Monday's 5-4 overtime win against the Columbus Blue Jackets with three points. Walman scored Edmonton's first goal of the game, tying things at one late in the first period. Yet, the Oilers once again dug themselves a hole and needed to produce a big effort late in the contest to avoid another defeat. Luckily for them, Walman popped up with a short-handed goal inside the final minute of regulation to send the game into overtime. During the extra frame, Walman completed his three-point effort with an assist on Jack Roslovic's fourth goal of the year. This marked already the fourth multi-point effort of the season for Walman. Sitting on 10 points (three goals and seven assists) through 11 appearances, Walman boasts some impressive numbers. However, his offensive performance has been inconsistent, as Walman has finished most of his games (6) with zero points.

Alexis Lafreniere Bags Three Points in Monday's Win
New York Rangers winger Alexis Lafreniere led his team with three points in Monday's 6-3 victory over the Nashville Predators. He produced a goal and two assists as the Rangers finally won their first home game of the season. Incredibly, Mike Sullivan's team had previously scored just six home goals all season at Madison Square Garden. With the team struggling, Lafreniere hasn't had much joy either. However, he has finished on the score sheet in four consecutive road outings, and a haul of 11 points (three goals, eight assists) in 17 games has made Lafreniere a top-three scorer on the Rangers squad. The Blueshirts now head back on the road for a couple of games before hosting the Detroit Red Wings on Sunday night.

Matthew Wood Scores First Career Hat Trick at MSG
Nashville Predators right wing Matthew Wood celebrated his first career hat trick in Monday's 6-3 road loss to the New York Rangers. He had a pair of power-play goals and an even-strength marker. Blake Geoffrion was previously the only rookie in Predators history to post a hat trick in a regular-season contest. Wood also became only the second Predators player to score a goal in each of his first three road games of a season. Following Monday's outing, Wood is on a run of nine points (six goals, three assists) in seven games. In total, the 20-year-old has bagged six goals and 10 points in 11 games for his rookie campaign. Few expected Wood to have a significant impact in 2025-26, yet right now, only three first-year players have been more offensively productive than him.

Brad Marchand Stays Hot in Vegas
Florida Panthers winger Brad Marchand recorded a goal and an assist in a 3-2 victory over the Vegas Golden Knights on Monday. The veteran potted Florida's second goal and notched a power-play assist when Sam Reinhart produced the game-winning tally. Marchand scored in a fifth consecutive game, marking his best goal streak in a decade. During his 17-year NHL career, Marchand has had a longer goal streak only once -- a seven-game run in 2015-16. The 37-year-old really has turned back the clock this season, going scoreless only twice in 15 appearances and leading his team in all the main offensive categories. Marchand has racked up 18 points with 11 goals and seven assists. Another two points will give him 1,000 for his career.

William Eklund Could Be an Option Tuesday
San Jose Sharks winger William Eklund (lower body) has traveled with the team and could be ready to return to action on Tuesday night against the Minnesota Wild, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports. The Swedish offensive talent has sat out four games due to a lower-body injury. Eklund has overcome a slow start to the season to register nine points (four goals, five assists) across his past six outings. Overall, he has managed five goals and 11 points in 12 games. If Eklund returns to the lineup, Collin Graf will likely need to give up his spot on the second line.

Nick Leddy Available on Tuesday
San Jose Sharks defenseman Nick Leddy (upper body) was activated from Injured Reserve on Monday and will be available for Tuesday's matchup against the Minnesota Wild. An upper-body injury robbed Leddy of nine games. The veteran blue-liner has recorded two assists, one shot, and 10 blocks in seven appearances this season. Leddy is an experienced head who can have a great influence in the locker room, but his days as a fantasy contributor are gone. A season ago, the 2013 Stanley Cup champion managed only six points (two goals, three assists) in 31 outings.

Mitchell Robinson Considered Questionable for Tuesday
New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (ankle) is questionable to play in Tuesday's clash against the Memphis Grizzlies. The injury-prone big man has featured in four of the past five contests, but Tuesday's game marks the start of a back-to-back, leaving Robinson with a question mark. He will likely sit out at least one of the upcoming games. A lingering ankle issue has limited Robinson to four appearances this season. He has averaged 5.0 points, 8.5 rebounds, and 1.8 blocks in 16.5 minutes. The Knicks have used Robinson as a starter each time he's played, meaning a spot in the first unit will be left open if he exits the lineup. Ariel Hukporti has occasionally been a starter this season, but he's still had a limited role in the rotation. Josh Hart probably stands to benefit the most from Robinson's absence.

Aaron Gordon Listed as Probable for Tuesday
Denver Nuggets forward/center Aaron Gordon (hamstring) is considered probable for Tuesday's meeting with the Sacramento Kings. He looks set to return from a one-game absence. Gordon didn't play in Saturday's win over the Indiana Pacers as he is managing a hamstring injury. Another rest day could be on the horizon for Gordon, with Denver also in action on Wednesday against the Los Angeles Clippers. Peyton Watson might have another chance to start in that game, but he is anticipated to make way for Gordon in the first unit on Tuesday. Gordon is off to a hot start to the season, averaging a career-high 20.1 points on 46.3 percent three-point shooting.

Jamal Murray Likely to Return Tuesday
Denver Nuggets point guard Jamal Murray (calf) appears to be on track to rejoin the lineup on Tuesday against the Sacramento Kings after the team listed him as probable on the injury report. Murray missed Saturday's win over the Indiana Pacers with a calf problem. It was the second leg of a back-to-back, so Denver basically rested the Canadian star. Jalen Pickett got the start in his absence on Saturday and will land back on the bench for Tuesday's action. Murray has looked solid early in the season, posting 22.8 points, 5.3 rebounds, 5.5 assists, and 1.3 steals per game. Only two teams have allowed a higher field-goal percentage to point guards than the Kings, making Tuesday's matchup a potential crush spot for Murray.

Domantas Sabonis Uncertain for Tuesday's Action
Sacramento Kings center Domantas Sabonis (ribs) is back on the injury report with a questionable designation ahead of Tuesday's encounter with the Denver Nuggets. On Sunday against the Minnesota Timberwolves, Sabonis returned to action after missing two games due to a ribcage contusion. However, he is still experiencing discomfort from the injury and may miss Tuesday night's game. Sabonis' absence has allowed Drew Eubanks to log a few starts. The 28-year-old is averaging 10.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 2.7 blocks per game as a starter. On Tuesday, Eubanks could have added fantasy value again, although it will be a challenging matchup against a Nuggets team that allows the fourth-fewest points in the league to centers. Additionally, Nikola Jokic's crew holds the ninth-highest rebounding rate.

Stephen Curry Officially Available Tuesday Night
Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry (illness) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Tuesday's tussle with the Oklahoma City Thunder. Golden State's leader has missed three games due to illness. The Warriors have limited Curry's workload early in the season to only 31.1 minutes per game, but he's still filled the box score regularly. Across eight appearances, Curry has averaged 26.8 points, 3.6 rebounds, 4.3 assists, and 1.5 steals. On Tuesday, Curry faces a very difficult matchup against a team that has allowed the second-fewest points to point guards this season. Will Richard and Buddy Hield are likely to lose playing time with Curry's return, while the offensive usage of Jimmy Butler III and Jonathan Kuminga will decline.

Joel Embiid Available Tuesday Against Celtics
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) will return to action on Tuesday against the Boston Celtics. The former MVP continues to manage a knee injury and was rested for Sunday's matchup against the Detroit Pistons. In Saturday's win over the Toronto Raptors, Embiid had his best outing of the season with 29 points. While Embiid is logging only 23.3 minutes per game, his productivity has been at a good level, with averages of 19.7 points, 5.5 rebounds, 3.3 assists, and 1.5 blocks. With him back in the mix, Andre Drummond must drop to the bench for Tuesday's matchup, which will make it difficult for him to have an impact in fantasy basketball.

Jordan Love Struggles in Monday Night Loss To Eagles
Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love completed 20 of 36 passes for 176 yards and a lost fumble to go with five carries for 28 yards in a 10-7 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Love and the Packers offense couldn't get anything going on Monday night. The 176 passing yards marked the lowest of the season, and Love has now posted back-to-back games with below double-digit fantasy points. The 27-year-old certainly missed the presence of his star tight end Tucker Kraft (knee), plus dynamic rookie wideout Matthew Golden (shoulder), and then top receiver Romeo Doubs also left the game early with a chest injury. The Green Bay running game was stuck in the mud all game and didn't help set up Love in favorable down-and-distance situations, but he made plenty of mistakes as well. Love will look to bounce back in Week 11 against the New York Giants.

Jalen Hurts Has Modest Performance in Monday Night Win Over Packers
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts completed 15 of 26 pass attempts for 183 yards and a touchdown to go with five carries for 27 yards and a lost fumble in a 10-7 win over the Green Bay Packers on Monday night. Hurts wasn't the most dynamic in this game as the Eagles struggled to consistently move the ball, and while he did lose a fumble on a rushing attempt on a solid opening drive, he did well to avoid mistakes otherwise. The 27-year-old didn't take a sack all night against a vaunted Packers pass rush, his first game without one since Week 8 of last season. Hurts managed the game for the most part while the Philadelphia defense dominated, but he made his best throw of the night on a 36-yard touchdown to DeVonta Smith. Hurts and the Eagles could be in for a shootout next week when they take on the Detroit Lions on Sunday Night Football.

Saquon Barkley Totals 91 Yards in Monday Night Win Over Packers
Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley recorded 22 carries for 60 yards and added three receptions (three targets) for 41 yards in Monday night's 10-7 win over the Green Bay Packers. It was a struggle for Barkley and the Philadelphia offense all night, as he averaged just 2.7 yards per carry, and even his 41 receiving yards came entirely on one reception. It was a disappointing performance for the 28-year-old after having his best game of the season before the bye in Week 8 against the Giants, totaling 174 yards and two touchdowns. He did tweak his groin in that game, but was cleared from the injury report earlier this week. Barkley has already posted five games with fewer than four yards per carry this season after having just two such games all of last season. His involvement as a receiver this season has at least helped offset the lack of breakaway runs, with 27 receptions through nine games compared to 33 in 16 games last year. Barkley will look to bounce back in Week 11 against the Detroit Lions.

DeVonta Smith Leads Eagles With 69 Yards and Touchdown in Week 10 Win
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith caught four of his six targets for 69 yards and a touchdown in a 10-7 win over the Green Bay Packers on Monday Night Football. Smith was one of the few bright spots for Philadelphia in an otherwise ugly offensive performance. His 36-yard touchdown catch was the highlight play of the game, as he beat the safety over the top and then elevated to secure the contested grab. The 27-year-old has been on a tear recently, recording 31 catches for 499 yards and two touchdowns on 41 targets over his last five games, averaging 18.6 PPR points per game. Smith will look to continue his strong production in Week 11 on Sunday Night Football against the Detroit Lions.

Josh Jacobs Scores 11th Touchdown of Season in Monday Night Loss
Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs recorded 21 carries for 74 yards and a touchdown while adding five catches (six targets) for 33 yards in Monday night's 10-7 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. It was an ugly offensive performance for both teams, and Jacobs had another inefficient outing on the ground. The 27-year-old is averaging just 3.8 yards per carry this season, which would be the second-lowest in a season for his career. Jacobs continues to be a touchdown machine, however, scoring for the sixth consecutive game. His 11 touchdowns are second only to Colts superstar running back Jonathan Taylor. Jacobs' fantasy production continues to rely heavily on volume, and it was encouraging to see his involvement in the passing game, as his five catches matched a season high. Jacobs will remain a solid RB1 for Week 11 against the New York Giants.

Malik Washington's Production Trending Upwards Heading into Week 11
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Malik Washington recorded just two catches for nine yards on three targets in Week 10, but he also managed to haul in his second touchdown grab in his last three games played. Washington has emerged as the clear number two wide receiver in Miami since star wideout Tyreek Hill (knee) was lost for the season with a knee injury in Week 4. In the six games since Hill went down, Washington has recorded 22 catches for 165 yards and two touchdowns on 29 targets. The 24-year-old also plays a small role in the running game, rushing for 18 yards on four attempts over the last two weeks. Washington may not have a crazy upside, but he should provide a stable target floor heading into a highly favorable Week 11 matchup against the Washington Commanders. In deep fantasy leagues, he could be a decent flex option for managers to target off the waiver wire.

Romeo Doubs Questionable to Return in Week 10 Due to Chest Injury
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs (chest) is questionable to return to his team's Week 10 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles due to a chest injury. Doubs recorded one catch for five yards on four targets before getting hurt. If he is unable to return, Packers wideouts Dontayvion Wicks and Christian Watson are the most likely candidates to lead the team in targets and playing time the rest of the way. Doubs has been Green Bay's most consistent wide receiver so far this season, so his absence would be a significant loss for the team. Entering Week 10, the Packers were already without wide receivers Matthew Golden (shoulder) and Jayden Reed (collarbone, foot).

Jalen Nailor Earning Larger Role in Minnesota?
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jalen Nailor had his best game of the season in Week 10, recording five catches for 124 yards and a touchdown on six targets in his team's 27-19 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Nailor remains stuck behind star wideouts Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison on the Vikings' wide receiver depth chart. However, Nailor seems to have some degree of chemistry with Minnesota quarterback J.J. McCarthy. In the four games McCarthy has started this season, Nailor has been targeted 18 times. The Vikings now have a very favorable matchup in Week 11 when they host the Chicago Bears. In deep fantasy leagues, Nailor could be worth adding off the waiver wire.

Marlins Ready to Trade Sandy Alcantara
USA Today Sports' Bob Nightengale reports that the Miami Marlins are "set to accept the best offer they receive" this winter on right-hander Sandy Alcantara, believing "now is the time" to trade him. Alcantara was on the trade block in 2025, too, but the Fish never got the offer they wanted for the former National League Cy Young winner. The 30-year-old Dominican hurler will earn $17.3 million in 2026 and has a $21 million club option for the 2027 campaign. Alcantara was shaky in his return from Tommy John surgery in the first half of 2025, but he had a second-half surge in Miami to finish with an 11-12 record, 5.36 ERA, 1.27 WHIP, and 142:57 K:BB in 174 2/3 innings over his 31 starts. He had eight quality starts in 13 starts since the All-Star break while also posting a 3.33 ERA with 71 K's and 20 walks over 83 2/3 innings. Even if Alcantara isn't traded before the start of the 2026 season, he showed enough in the second half to convince fantasy managers that he can be a fantasy ace for all of next season.

Olamide Zaccheaus Continues to See Regular Playing Time in Chicago
Chicago Bears wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus was held in check by the New York Giants in Week 10, recording one catch for five yards on four targets. Still, the 28-year-old continues to play a consistent role in Chicago's offense. Zaccheaus has played at least 57% of the Bears' offensive snaps in six out of the team's last seven games. For the season, he's recorded 32 catches for 248 yards and a touchdown on 50 targets. Between wide receivers Rome Odunze, DJ Moore, and Luther Burden III, there's plenty of target competition for Zaccheaus in Chicago. Still, Zaccheaus has recorded at least six targets in four out of his last six games played. In deep fantasy leagues, he could be worth adding off the waiver wire.

Diamondbacks Motivated to Move Ketel Marte
The Arizona Diamondbacks are "definitely motivated in moving" All-Star second baseman Ketel Marte with $71 million remaining on his contract through 2030, according to Bob Nightengale of USA Today Sports. The Diamondbacks will obviously be asking for a lot in return. If Arizona doesn't trade Marte by the middle of April in 2026, he will have 10-and-5 rights and a full no-trade provision. Plenty of MLB teams should be interested in the 32-year-old switch-hitting Dominican infielder, but it remains to be seen if anyone will meet the D-backs' lofty asking price. Marte has been an All-Star each of the last two seasons and has been one of, if not the best, all-around second baseman in the game. Since the start of the 2023 campaign, Marte has a combined .283/.368/.519 slash line, .887 OPS, 89 home runs, 249 RBI, 274 runs scored, and 19 stolen bases in 412 regular-season games. If Marte is going to be traded, it will most likely come this offseason.

Sterling Shepard Could Continue to See Playing Time in Week 11
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Sterling Shepard had a quiet game in his team's 28-23 Week 10 loss to the New England Patriots, recording three catches for 20 yards on four targets. The 32-year-old has now failed to crack 25 receiving yards in three straight contests, even with veteran Bucs wideouts Mike Evans (collarbone) and Chris Godwin (leg) sidelined. Rookie wide receiver Tez Johnson appears to have surpassed Shepard on Tampa Bay's wide receiver depth chart. Johnson has out-snapped and out-produced Shepard in two straight games. Still, Godwin may remain sidelined for Tampa Bay's Week 11 matchup against the Buffalo Bills, which keeps the door open for Shepard. He could be worth adding in deep fantasy leagues heading into Week 11.

Reds to Listen to Offers on Hunter Greene
The Cincinnati Reds have publicly denied any efforts to trade right-hander Hunter Greene, but "they still plan to listen to offers" for Greene, according to Bob Nightengale of USA Today Sports. However, unless the Reds are completely overwhelmed by a trade offer and receive a return that will help them now and in the future, Cincinnati "will keep him." Greene is owed just $39 million over the next three seasons and has a 421 million team option for 2029. At the price and with his ability, Nightengale writes that the Reds "aren't going to find a better pitcher at a bigger discount rate." The 26-year-old hard-throwing starter missed two-plus months with a groin injury in 2025, but when healthy, he was a high-end fantasy starter, going 7-4 with a 2.76 ERA (3.27 FIP) and 0.94 WHIP with 132 K's and 26 walks in 107 2/3 frames over 19 starts. Greene is no stranger to injuries, but a career 30% strikeout rate makes him a No. 1 starter in fantasy.

Joe Flacco Could Remain a Viable Starting Option Following Bye Week
Since taking over as the Cincinnati Bengals' starting quarterback in Week 6, Joe Flacco has put up gaudy statistics. Across four starts, Flacco has thrown for 1,254 yards, 11 touchdowns, and two interceptions. The Bengals opened up quarterback Joe Burrow's (toe) 21-day Injured Reserve activation window on Monday, but Burrow is reportedly targeting Thanksgiving as a return date. A Thanksgiving return for Burrow would give Flacco two more starts under center in Cincinnati, starting with a trip to Pittsburgh to take on the Steelers in Week 11. Flacco torched Pittsburgh back in Week 7, throwing for 342 yards and three touchdowns. In fantasy leagues where Flacco may have been dropped during Cincinnati's Week 10 bye, he could be worth adding as a low-end QB1 option in Week 11.

Joe Ryan, Pablo Lopez on the Trade Block?
The rebuilding Minnesota Twins have two of the best trade chips in right-handed starting pitchers Joe Ryan and Pablo Lopez, and could continue their aggressive rebuild by trading them away this offseason, according to Bob Nightengale of USA Today Sports. Lopez is under team control for two more years at $21.5 million per year, while Ryan has two years of club control and is salary-arbitration eligible after making $3 million in 2025. Ryan, 29, ended his season by giving up five or more runs in four of his last seven outings, but overall, he had a career-best 3.47 ERA, 1.04 WHIP, and 194:39 K:BB over his 171 innings in his fifth big-league season. Ryan was an All-Star for the first time in his career. Lopez, meanwhile, had an injury-plagued campaign, missing two months early in the year with a Grade 2 teres major strain before being shut down with a right-forearm strain in late September. The 29-year-old is already considered fully healthy, though, and should be a full-go in spring training.

Darius Garland Won't Return on Monday Night
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (toe) won't return to Monday's game against the Miami Heat. The 26-year-old didn't play in Saturday's win over the Chicago Bulls, the second of back-to-back games for the team. As expected, Garland returned for Monday's meeting with Miami. However, he suffered a toe injury during the contest and was ruled out, finishing with 11 points, five rebounds, two assists, and one steal in 19 minutes. Garland missed seven games to begin the 2025 campaign while recovering from toe surgery. Although it's still too early to tell, there's reason to believe he may at least miss the rematch with the Heat on Wednesday night. There should be an update on Tuesday regarding his condition. If Garland isn't out there on Wednesday, Donovan Mitchell will take over most of the ball-handling duties. Sam Merrill, Lonzo Ball, and Jaylon Tyson would also be in line for more work, with one of them likely to enter the starting lineup.

Calvin Austin III Worth Monitoring Ahead of Week 11
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Calvin Austin III hasn't posted great stats this season, but does have some good things going for him. In Week 10, Austin hauled in two of his seven targets for 14 yards in the loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. Austin tied fellow wideout DK Metcalf for the team lead with seven targets during that game. The 26-year-old has seen six or more targets in three straight games. Austin hasn't posted excellent stats during those games, but is getting the ball thrown his way more often. That being said, Austin could be someone worth looking at for the upcoming Week 11 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. Austin might be able to do some damage against that struggling secondary.

Jayden Reed Could be Worth Stashing with Return Looming
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed (collarbone, foot) is currently working his way back to the field. Reed was recently spotted at practice doing some light work. The 25-year-old has been out since suffering a broken collarbone in Week 2. Despite that, Reed could be back in the near future. He still hasn't returned to practice with pads, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to play in Week 11. However, Reed could be worth stashing on the IR for fantasy managers who have a spot available. Reed might still miss a few more games, but could be a decent contributor once he's healthy. Reed might be a nice addition to fantasy rosters right around playoff time.
