Cameron Payne Out at Least Two Weeks
Philadelphia 76ers guard Cameron Payne (hamstring) has been diagnosed with a strained right hamstring and is expected to miss at least two weeks, likely sidelining him for the rest of the regular season. His absence could lead to more backup point guard minutes for Quentin Grimes behind Tyrese Maxey. Grimes has logged 10 points and four rebounds in 25 minutes against Minnesota and 12 points with two three-pointers in 23 minutes against Washington recently, though his fantasy upside remains modest with Maxey, VJ Edgecombe, and Paul George handling most of the offense.

Duncan Robinson Iffy for Monday
Detroit Pistons guard/forward Duncan Robinson (hip) is questionable for Monday's game against the Orlando Magic after logging 11 points, two rebounds, and two assists in 23 minutes Saturday. If he sits, Kevin Huerter, Caris LeVert, and Ron Holland II could all see increased opportunities, with one likely moving into the starting lineup. Huerter posted five points, five rebounds, and six assists in 25 minutes in his last outing and could offer short-term value for assists and three-pointers. Holland's recent activity also puts him on the deep-league radar if Robinson is unavailable.

Jerami Grant Out Again Monday
Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (calf) will remain sidelined for Monday's game against the Denver Nuggets due to a lingering calf strain. His continued absence should keep Scoot Henderson in an elevated role with the starting group. Henderson has averaged 16.7 points, 2.0 three-pointers, and 4.0 assists in 24.6 minutes across his last three starts, making him a viable fantasy option for points and assists while Grant remains out. Deni Avdija should continue to see a bit more offensive responsibility, while Grant's absence leaves Portland a little short on forward depth down the stretch.

Tobias Harris Questionable Vs. Magic
Detroit Pistons forward Tobias Harris (knee) is questionable for Monday's game against the Orlando Magic after playing through the issue in his last outing. With Detroit already locked into playoff positioning, the team could take a cautious approach with its veteran forward. If Harris sits, Ron Holland II, Javonte Green, and Caris LeVert could see expanded roles. Holland finished with 11 points, six rebounds, one steal, and one block in 20 minutes in his last appearance, making him a possible deep-league streamer, while Green could enter the starting lineup if Harris is held out.

Karl-Anthony Towns Back Against Atlanta
New York Knicks forward/center Karl-Anthony Towns (elbow) is off the injury report and expected to return Monday against the Atlanta Hawks after missing one game. His return should move Mitchell Robinson back into a reserve role and reduce the minutes available for Mohamed Diawara and Ariel Hukporti. Towns has averaged 18.2 points, 10.8 rebounds, and 3.8 assists in 28.8 minutes over his last five games and posted a 20-point, 11-rebound, 11-assist triple-double in his last outing. He remains a must-start fantasy option, while Robinson's short-term streaming value likely takes a hit with Towns reclaiming starting duties.

Joel Embiid Available Monday Vs. Spurs
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (oblique) is off the injury report and expected to play Monday against the San Antonio Spurs after sitting out Saturday for maintenance on the second night of a back-to-back. His return should send Andre Drummond back to a reserve role and cut into Adem Bona's minutes. Embiid has averaged 27.3 points, 8.0 rebounds, 4.8 assists, and 1.8 blocks across 33.1 minutes over his last four games, reinforcing his must-start status. His presence should slightly trim the offensive workload of Tyrese Maxey and Paul George, though both remain strong fantasy options, while Drummond and Bona take the biggest hit in playing time.

Mike Trout Exits Early After Getting Hit by Pitch
Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (hand) was removed early during Sunday's game against the Seattle Mariners. Trout was taken out of the contest after getting hit by a pitch during the eighth inning. According to Rhett Bollinger, it sounded like it hit Trout's hand pad, but he was pulled from the contest anyway. Before leaving, Trout went 1-for-4 with a run scored and a double. The expectation is that Trout will undergo imaging to determine the severity of the injury. Fantasy managers will need to check back for another update on his status. Bryce Teodosio took over in center field and could see an expanded role if Trout misses time.

Kodai Senga Sees Velocity Drop During Sunday's Start
New York Mets starting pitcher Kodai Senga saw his velocity drop during Sunday's start against the San Francisco Giants. Senga was averaging 97.4 mph during his last start. He began Sunday's outing sitting at 96 mph on his fastball. The right-hander was averaging 93-94 mph during his final inning of work. Outside of the decreased velocity, Senga was sharp during Sunday's victory. He tossed 5.2 innings, allowing two earned runs while striking out seven batters in the no-decision. Senga has pitched well over his first two starts of the season, but the dip in velocity is concerning. Fantasy managers should monitor this situation during his next outing against the Athletics on April 11.

Brandon Williams Good to Go Sunday
Dallas Mavericks guard Brandon Williams (illness) is available Sunday against the Los Angeles Lakers after initially being listed as probable. The 26-year-old has averaged 15.4 points, 2.6 rebounds, 5.0 assists, and 1.0 steals across 23.7 minutes over his last five games, giving him some deep-league appeal for scoring and assists. His return should limit Ryan Nembhard's opportunities off the bench, while Cooper Flagg should continue handling primary playmaking duties. Williams could remain a situational fantasy option in deeper formats if his recent usage and bench role remain steady.

Sal Frelick Held Out for Precautionary Reasons
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Sal Frelick (side) was held out of the starting lineup during Sunday's game against the Kansas City Royals. This isn't shocking considering Frelick exited early during Saturday's contest due to a side issue. Brewers' manager Pat Murphy said Frelick could've played on Sunday, but they decided to play it safe. The Brewers were facing a southpaw on Sunday, so it's probably best for Frelick to return against right-hander Brayan Bello on Monday. Fantasy managers should check back ahead of Monday's game to confirm Frelick is back in the mix.

Marvin Bagley III Available Sunday Against Lakers
Dallas Mavericks forward/center Marvin Bagley III (shoulder) is available Sunday against the Los Angeles Lakers after missing three games. His return could cut into Dwight Powell's reserve minutes, with Bagley likely reclaiming a steady bench role. The former No. 2 pick has averaged 12.2 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.0 assists, and 1.2 three-pointers across 19.9 minutes over his last five games, making him a possible deep-league scoring option. Daniel Gafford should continue leading the frontcourt, but Bagley's return gives Dallas another scoring option off the bench while Powell's fantasy value takes a hit.

Moussa Diabate Back in Lineup Sunday
Charlotte Hornets center Moussa Diabate (ankle) is available Sunday against Minnesota after missing one game. His return likely sends Ryan Kalkbrenner back to a reserve role and could push Xavier Tillman out of the rotation. Diabate has averaged 7.3 points, 9.2 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.0 steals, and 0.7 blocks across 26.6 minutes over his last 10 games, giving him deep-league value for rebounds and defensive stats. He could provide late-season category help in those areas, while Kalkbrenner may see his minutes and fantasy value take a step back.

Brandon Lockridge Suffers Hip Injury on Sunday
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Brandon Lockridge (hip) appears to have suffered an injury during Sunday's game against the Kansas City Royals. Lockridge looks like he suffered a hip injury during this game, but didn't exit the contest. He was seen hobbling around late in the game, but stayed in through the entire contest. He finished this game, 1-for-2 with an RBI, a stolen base, and two walks. Lockridge should be considered day-to-day for now. He could miss a game or two, but hopefully won't need to be placed on the Injured List.

Carlos Santana Departs with Groin Issue
Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman Carlos Santana (groin) was forced to exit early during Sunday's game against the Atlanta Braves. Santana singled in his lone plate appearance, but appears to have tweaked his groin in the process. Ildemaro Vargas replaced Santana at first base and could see more action at the cold corner. For now, Santana is considered day-to-day, but the D-Backs will likely continue to evaluate him. The veteran switch-hitter is off to a sluggish start and doesn't need to be rostered in most leagues at the moment anyway.

Addison Barger Exits with Ankle Injury
Toronto Blue Jays infielder/outfielder Addison Barger (ankle) was forced to make an early exit from Sunday's game against the Chicago White Sox. Barger departed the game in the bottom of the sixth inning due to bilateral ankle discomfort. Before exiting the game, Barger went 0-for-3 at the plate. Jays' manager John Schneider said Barger could return as early as Monday's game versus the Los Angeles Dodgers. Jesus Sanchez took over in right field during Sunday's game. The expectation is that Sanchez could see a few starts if Barger does miss any time. It doesn't sound like fantasy managers should be worried about Barger missing an extended period of time from this injury.

Kirill Kaprizov Bags Sixth Career Hat Trick Sunday
Minnesota Wild left wing Kirill Kaprizov took down the Detroit Red Wings 5-4 on Sunday with his sixth career hat trick. The Russian star netted two even-strength goals during the second period and broke the Red Wings' hearts with a late power-play marker in the third. Only Marian Gaborik (9) has scored more hat tricks for the Wild than Kaprizov, whose last three-goal game was 24 months ago. While Kaprizov hadn't had a hat trick for a while, he has been sharp in front of the net all season. In 75 games, he has scored 43 goals and 87 points. Kaprizov has struck five goals during his current four-game point streak, adding two assists.

Stuart Skinner Nursing Upper-Body Injury
Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Stuart Skinner (upper body) didn't dress for Sunday's contest against the Florida Panthers, Wes Crosby of NHL. com reports. He was hit in the eye by a puck during Saturday's matchup with Florida. Arturs Silovs started for a second consecutive day, with Taylor Gauthier brought up from the minors to serve as the backup. The Penguins also have the highly rated duo of Sergei Murashov and Joel Blomqvist as potential call-up options if Skinner misses significant time. Since moving to Pittsburgh in December, Skinner has posted an 11-8-5 record, a 2.99 goals-against average, and a .886 save percentage. Prior to this weekend, he had started four of the last five games for the Penguins.

Charlie Lindgren Gets the Nod Sunday
Washington Capitals goaltender Charlie Lindgren will start in Sunday's matchup with the New York Rangers, Mike Vogel of the Capitals' official site reports. He gets an opportunity to make his 20th start of the season, with the Capitals on a back-to-back for the first time since mid-March. In his most recent outing, Lindgren picked up an impressive 2-1 win over Buffalo. However, his season overall hasn't been great. The 32-year-old holds a 9-7-3 record, a 3.29 goals-against average, a .886 save percentage, and one shutout. On Sunday, Lindgren will aim to make it three wins in three games against the Rangers this season.

Pavel Buchnevich Ready to Play Sunday Night
St. Louis Blues forward Pavel Buchnevich (undisclosed) will rejoin the lineup on Sunday against the Colorado Avalanche. He is expected to be part of the fourth line after Buchnevich missed Friday's win over Anaheim for maintenance. Buchnevich usually plays on a scoring line and could move up in the lineup during the game. He is the Blues' second-highest scorer with 44 points (17 goals, 27 assists) in 74 games. Nathan Walker, Oskar Sundqvist, and Otto Stenberg will all head to the press box on Sunday, with Alexey Toropchenko and Jack Finley joining Buchnevich on the fourth line.

Jordan Staal, Jordan Martinook Unavailable Sunday
Carolina Hurricanes forwards Jordan Staal (undisclosed) and Jordan Martinook (undisclosed) won't play on Sunday against the Ottawa Senators, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports. Both players have been productive lately, but they have been ruled out for Sunday's action due to unspecified health issues. Jesperi Kotkaniemi and Nicolas Deslauriers will enter the lineup. The two have spent several weeks as healthy scratches and must be eager to impress. However, Kotkaniemi and Deslauriers will skate on the fourth line, making it unlikely that they will have a major influence on Sunday's game.

Frederik Andersen Takes on Senators Sunday
Carolina Hurricanes goaltender Frederik Andersen will be between the sticks on Sunday against the Ottawa Senators, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports. The Danish veteran is making his 33rd start of the campaign. Andersen recently put together a five-game winning streak, but despite the hot streak, his record remains mediocre at 14-13-5. He has allowed 3.09 goals with a .871 save percentage. Ottawa has plenty of firepower, averaging 3.28 goals per game, and Andersen has to be sharp to end up in the winning column on Sunday.

Linus Ullmark Faces Hurricanes Sunday
Ottawa Senators goaltender Linus Ullmark will make his 46th start of the season on Sunday against the Carolina Hurricanes. He's had a couple of rough outings recently, including in Saturday's matchup with Minnesota. The former Vezina Trophy winner coughed up four goals against the Wild on 23 shots, suffering a 4-1 loss. Saturday's loss dropped Ullmark's record to 24-12-8. He has a 2.84 goals-against average, a . 886 save percentage, and two shutouts. Ullmark faces a huge test on Sunday, taking on a Hurricanes team that has averaged a league-high 3.89 goals per game since the Olympic break.

Can a Dynamic Surrounding Cast Lead Trevor Lawrence to Another Career Year?
When quarterback Trevor Lawrence was selected first overall by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the 2021 NFL Draft, he was considered by many to be the safest quarterback prospect since Andrew Luck, and yet, through his first four seasons in the league, questions still remained about whether or not he was a true franchise quarterback. In 2025, he took significant strides in his first season with head coach Liam Coen, helping him climb to QB11 in RotoBaller's dynasty rankings. With Brian Thomas Jr. struggling mightily in his second season and Travis Hunter lost to injury, the Jaguars retooled their wide receiver room on the fly, acquiring Jakobi Meyers at the trade deadline, and over the final nine weeks of the season, Lawrence threw 20 touchdowns to only six interceptions. He also finished the year with a career-high 359 rushing yards and nine scores on the ground. The Jaguars enter the 2026 season with Thomas and Meyers still on the roster, along with underrated tight end Brenton Strange, and Parker Washington, whose own late-season surge coincided with Lawrence's. Hunter could spend more time on the defensive side of the ball in year two, but anything he can contribute offensively will only help to elevate an already dynamic group of pass catchers and their quarterback.

Dolphins Want to Build Around Malik Willis
Dolphins quarterback Malik Willis agreed to a three-year, $67.5 million contract with Miami on the first day of free agency, and one week later, the team traded away its number one wide receiver in Jaylen Waddle. In speaking at the annual owners meeting, Dolphins general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan told reporters that the trade materialized after Willis' signing, but that he had a conversation with his new quarterback to ensure that he didn't feel "tricked". Sullivan stressed the need for Miami to get younger and cheaper, with a clear goal of surrounding Willis with a young core of players on rookie contracts. The Dolphins now hold the 11th and 30th picks in the first round of the NFL Draft, and with Malik Washington, Tutu Atwell, and Jalen Tolbert currently topping the wide receiver depth chart, the team is expected to take multiple swings at the position in what is considered to be a deep draft class.

Has Courtland Sutton's Dropping Dynasty Value Made Him a Buy-Low?
Since the Denver Broncos traded for wide receiver Jaylen Waddle in mid-March, Courtland Sutton has seen his consensus dynasty ranking drop by almost 10 spots at the position, moving him well outside the first 10 rounds in dynasty startups. While Waddle does bring an electric element to a Broncos team that fell one game short of reaching the Super Bowl, he has not topped a 22% target share since his record-breaking rookie campaign in 2021, and he has never been a true red zone threat, which is historically where Sutton has done the bulk of his damage from a fantasy perspective. Adjustments will obviously be made to Denver's passing offense, but after two consecutive top-13 fantasy finishes, Sutton should still see enough of a role to make him a regular contributor for contending dynasty managers hunting for bargains.

Ryan Rollins Available Against Grizzlies
Milwaukee Bucks guard Ryan Rollins (hip) will suit up on Sunday against the Memphis Grizzlies. Rollins has played in only one of the last four games, but he is available on Sunday after shaking off a questionable tag. With several big guns out of the lineup, Rollins has taken on a larger role late in the season, averaging 22.2 points, 5.2 rebounds, 6.2 assists, and 1.8 steals across his last five outings. Memphis sits 23rd in defensive efficiency, making Sunday's game a superb fantasy matchup for Rollins. Pete Nance will give up his starting spot to Rollins.

David Njoku One of the Top Remaining Free Agents
Free agent tight end David Njoku was unable to find a home in the early wave of free agency, and at this point, it would seem he is waiting until after the NFL Draft to make a decision on his future. The soon-to-be-30-year-old former first-round pick was released by the Cleveland Browns after nine seasons with the team, largely in part to the emergence of Harrold Fannin Jr., who led the team in receptions, yards, and touchdowns as a rookie. This is considered to be another deep rookie class, with a record 27 tight ends receiving invites to the NFL Combine, so many teams might opt to look for a younger, cheaper option at the position, with Njoku seeing a year-over-year decline in production since recording career highs across the board with 81 catches for 882 and six touchdowns in 2023. That said, even approaching his second decade in the league, Njoku's athleticism is rare for the position, and he could still find a fantasy-relevant role, even if it comes as a mid-season injury replacement.

Matas Buzelis Out Sunday, Leonard Miller Joins Starting Lineup
Chicago Bulls forward Matas Buzelis (illness) won't play on Sunday against the Phoenix Suns. The 21-year-old has been ruled out due to illness. With Josh Giddey (hamstring) also sidelined, the Bulls will have two new starters on Sunday. Collin Sexton will join Tre Jones in the backcourt, while Leonard Miller will be Buzelis' replacement. Miller has been one of Chicago's best players in recent weeks, and a starting role will further elevate his fantasy value. In seven starts, Miller has posted averages of 11.7 points and 7.4 rebounds per game.

Tyler Warren Has Room to Grow in Year Two
Before he was traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers for a late-round pick swap, wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. had led the Indianapolis Colts in targets for five consecutive seasons. In his absence, one of the pass catchers most expected to benefit from the newly formed triple-digit target vacuum is tight end Tyler Warren, fresh off a rookie season in which his 76 receptions led all first-year players. He was also the third most targeted tight end in the league, and with Pittman no longer taking up residence between the numbers, Warren's target share could rise to the ranks of the fantasy elite. Alec Pierce signed a top-of-the market deal to stay in Indianapolis as the primary downfield and boundary option, but he has never cracked 85 targets or 50 receptions in a season, while Josh Downs, who could offer more direct target competition on short to intermediate routes, is listed at only 171 pounds and has seen his snap count drop in each of his professional seasons.

The veteran big man has recovered from a fractured finger and is listed as available after initially having a questionable tag on the injury report. Vucevic has been Neemias Queta's backup in Boston, but he has still delivered decent production. In 12 appearances with the Celtics, Vucevic has averaged 10.4 points and 7.2 rebounds in 21.7 minutes per game. Queta and Vucevic face a tough matchup on Sunday, with Jakob Poeltl healthy and playing well for the Raptors in the middle.
