Tyler Linderbaum Joins Raiders on a Three-Year Deal
The Las Vegas Raiders have signed free-agent center Tyler Linderbaum to a three-year, $81 million deal that includes $60 million guaranteed, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com. The contract makes Linderbaum the highest-paid interior offensive lineman in NFL history. Linderbaum is coming off an impressive stint with the Baltimore Ravens, including a strong 2025 season in which he posted an 80.2 PFF grade (fifth-best among centers) and an 83.7 PFF run blocking grade (fourth-best among centers). His departure is big news for the Ravens, who evidently weren't willing to match Vegas' offer to keep a key protector in the trenches. With the Raiders, Linderbaum will offer key blocking in front of running back Ashton Jeanty and this year's consensus No. 1 draft pick, quarterback Fernando Mendoza.

Artemi Panarin Collects Two Points Against Former Team
Los Angeles Kings left wing Artemi Panarin scored a goal and added an assist in Monday's 5-4 overtime victory against the Blue Jackets. Panarin's 21st goal of the season helped the Kings take an early two-goal lead in the contest, while he contributed with a helper on Adrian Kempe's game-winning goal in the extra frame to secure the win. Panarin remains an elite option for all fantasy formats, as he has picked up eight points in seven games since joining the Kings through a trade from the Rangers, while he has season totals of 21 goals and 65 points.

Adrian Kempe Scores Two Goals in Victory
Los Angeles Kings right wing Adrian Kempe scored two goals, including the game-winner, in Monday's 5-4 overtime victory against the Blue Jackets. The Swedish forward found the back of the net twice to extend his point streak to five consecutive games, and he has a total of nine points since coming back from the Olympic break. Kempe has totals of 25 goals and 55 points on the season, making him a high-end forward option across all fantasy leagues.

Igor Shesterkin Stifles the Flyers on Monday
New York Rangers goaltender Igor Shesterkin made 32 saves on 34 shots as the Rangers dominated the Philadelphia Flyers 6-2 on Monday. He got plenty of support from his offense, but Shesterkin also had a very strong performance and won his 20th game of the season. Through 39 appearances, Shesterkin has a 20-12-6 record with a 2.49 goals against average and a .913 save percentage.

Harris English Hopes to Find Any Sort of Success at TPC Sawgrass
Despite his Southeastern roots and affinity for playing on Bermuda grass surfaces, Harris English has a downright putrid record at The Players Championship. In 12 career appearances, he has one top 20 finish to go along with seven missed cuts. The former Georgia Bulldog is a serviceable ball striker, but it isn't up to the level needed to compete on The Stadium Course. He ranks third on the season in strokes gained off the tee (+0.596), and ranks 13th in par-4 scoring average. If he is to make a run at this championship, he'll need to be sharper with his iron play and short game. But there is some value to be had here for guys playing for the perceived ceiling English has.

Raiders Signing Kicker Matt Gay
The Las Vegas Raiders are signing veteran free-agent kicker Matt Gay to an undisclosed deal on Monday evening, his agents told Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network. The move to bring Gay in pretty much seals previous placekicker Daniel Carlson leaving in unrestricted free agency. The 31-year-old Gay was cut by the Washington Commanders last year after going 13-for-19 on his field-goal attempts in 10 games. He was picked up by the San Francisco 49ers and went 4-for-4 on field goals and 4-for-4 on extra-point attempts in just two games before Eddy Pineiro returned from injury. The former fifth-round pick of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2019 out of Utah has made 84.3% of his 216 career field-goal attempts, including going 32-for-54 from 50-plus yards in his seven NFL seasons. The Raiders' offense could be much improved in 2026, even with a rookie signal-caller most likely starting most of the games. Still, Gay shouldn't be drafted in 12-team fantasy leagues.

49ers Open to Trading Trent Williams?
The San Francisco 49ers are now said to be open to trading Pro Bowl left tackle Trent Williams if "the situation doesn't get resolved," sources told Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. Williams is due $32 million in salary in 2026 and carries a $38 million salary cap number. If the 49ers were to trade the 37-year-old veteran, it would free up around $5 million of cap space this year. General manager John Lynch expressed optimism in late February that the two sides would be able to work something out. He carries three void years on his contract beyond this year with no guaranteed money. The Niners are likely hesitant to give Williams too much on a new extension. He's still one of the top left tackles in the game, but his advanced age suggests a decline is likely coming soon. If Williams is traded, it would be a pretty notable downgrade for quarterback Brock Purdy and the rest of San Fran's offense.

Pierceson Coody Looks to Get Back on Track in First Players Appearance
Things have cooled off for Pierceson Coody after the hot start to the season. He missed his first cut of the season last week at Bay Hill, after losing over three shots around the green. He'll now make his first career start at The Players Championship, a place notorious for being unkind to first-timers. The 26-year-old has proven his ability to hang, but TPC Sawgrass is unlike anything he's played this year. His distance gives advantages at certain venues, but a 55.77% driving accuracy will be difficult to overcome here. Luckily, the approach play he's displayed this season has been some of the best we've seen from anyone. Coody has the talent for The Stadium Course, but ownership will determine how viable an option he is. If he's even remotely at the same level that he was before last week, there are better options elsewhere.

Hayden Hurst Hangs up his Cleats
The Atlanta Falcons announced on Monday that veteran tight end Hayden Hurst is announcing his retirement from professional football. Hurst will hang up his cleats after not being signed with a team during the 2025 season. In his final NFL campaign in 2024 with the Los Angeles Chargers, the 32-year-old caught a career-low eight passes for 73 yards and no touchdowns on 13 targets in nine regular-season games. Hurst was originally the 25th overall pick in the first round by the Baltimore Ravens in 2018 out of South Carolina. He finishes his seven-year NFL career with 203 receptions (294 targets) for 1,975 yards and 15 touchdowns in 88 regular-season games (41 starts). In addition to the Chargers and Ravens, Hurst suited up with the Atlanta Falcons (two years), Cincinnati Bengals (one year), and Carolina Panthers (one year). He was at his best in 202 in Atlanta, posting a 56-571-6 line in 16 games.

Daniel Jones Asks for $50 Million Per Year
Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer reports that the Indianapolis Colts' initial offer to quarterback Daniel Jones (Achilles) was in the range of Sam Darnold's three-year, $100.5 million deal he signed with the Seattle Seahawks last offseason. Jones' camp countered and asked for a deal worth $50 million per year. Instead of franchise-tagging Jones, the Colts gave him the transition tag. The 28-year-old was having one of the best years of his career in his first year in Indy before his torn Achilles tendon in Week 14, throwing for 3,101 yards, 19 touchdowns, and eight interceptions in 13 starts. If Jones were to return to Indy in 2026 and play on the transition tender, he'd make $37.833 million. Breer suggests that Jones will likely have to come down on his demands with the Colts if he wants to return to a familiar place without having to learn a new offense. Jones' rehab is expected to cost him most of the offseason, which will make him a pretty risky QB2 in fantasy football drafts. The Colts bringing back wideout Alec Pierce should help get Jones back in the building.

Daniel Berger Presses On at The Players Championship
It wasn't meant to be for Daniel Berger this past week at the API, as he ultimately didn't do enough on the weekend to hold off a confident Akshay Bhatia. Still, it was a successful week for the 32-year-old, who led the field in strokes gained on approach (+1.98) and strokes gained from tee to green (+2.70). He'll now head to TPC Sawgrass, where his game sets up beautifully and ultimately flourishes. The Stadium Course usually awards sound ball striking, and while that is usually the skill we equate with Berger, it has been his short game and putting that have given him the biggest boost around this property. Hopefully, he can shake off the close call at Bay Hill and show up to Ponte Vedra ready to play, because he's a worthwhile DFS selection.

Cardinals Send Joshua Baez to Minor-League Camp
The St. Louis Cardinals announced on Monday that they sent outfield prospect Joshua Baez to minor-league camp. Baez homered in three straight Grapefruit League games, but he'll begin the 2026 season at Triple-A Memphis after hitting .287/.384/.500 with an .884 OPS, 20 home runs, 79 RBI, 78 runs scored, and 54 stolen bases in 495 plate appearances over 117 games at High-A Peoria and Double-A Springfield. Sixteen of his 20 long balls came at Double-A in 79 games played. The power/speed is obvious here for Baez, who is ranked by MLB Pipeline as the Cardinals' No. 4 prospect. He's the No. 87 overall prospect in MLB entering the 2026 season. If Baez performs well early on at Memphis, he'll most likely make his MLB debut at some point this year. There is 30-30 potential for the 6-foot-3, 220-pounder who was drafted in the second round in 2021. Baez's best path to playing time in St. Louis will be in right field. He's firmly back on the dynasty/keeper radar.

Teams Monitoring Alvin Kamara's Availability for Trade
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara could hit the trade market after the team signed running back Travis Etienne Jr. during free agency. According to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com, "there now are questions around the league about whether Kamara will be moving on from New Orleans and whether the Saints would be willing [to] trade him." Several months ago, Kamara threatened to retire if the Saints traded him, but it's fair to wonder if he might feel differently after New Orleans brought in a clear every-down option in Etienne. Kamara, 30, is presumably in the final stages of his career anyway. He mustered just 471 rushing yards, 186 receiving yards, and one touchdown across 11 games last year, losing ground to players like Devin Neal and Kendre Miller. Now, the addition of Etienne massively shakes up New Orleans' backfield. Managers in dynasty leagues have probably missed their window to sell Kamara, but that opportunity could briefly reopen if he gets traded to a different team in the upcoming days or weeks.

Keaton Mitchell Not Tendered by Ravens, Could Sign with Giants?
The Baltimore Ravens are not tendering an offer sheet to running back Keaton Mitchell, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com. He will hit free agency and is free to sign anywhere, with Fowler identifying the New York Giants as a potential landing spot. Mitchell was one of the hottest dynasty buys as a rookie in 2023, when he tallied 489 scrimmage yards across eight games. He continues to flash upside, but injuries have limited him from reaching his full potential. He tore his ACL in December 2023, and he dealt with a knee strain in December 2025. The 24-year-old will now bring his talent and speed elsewhere for the 2026 campaign. It's interesting that Fowler singled out the Giants as a potential landing spot, especially since New York has Cam Skattebo (ankle), Tyrone Tracy Jr., and Devin Singletary under contract. Mitchell would remain a hold in most dynasty leagues if he does put pen to paper with the Giants, where his old Ravens head coach, John Harbaugh, is calling most of the shots.

Chandler Simpson, Cedric Mullins Expected to Play Tuesday
Tampa Bay Rays manager Kevin Cash said that outfielders Chandler Simpson (hamstring) and Cedric Mullins (back) are feeling better and should play on Tuesday in Grapefruit League action, according to Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times. Simpson, the more attractive fantasy outfielder of the two because of his high-end speed, has not played since last Tuesday after feeling soreness in his left hamstring. It's an injury the 25-year-old had battled through early in camp, so the Rays aren't taking any chances. Simpson doesn't offer much to fantasy managers outside of stolen bases, so he could be vulnerable to a loss of playing time if his glove doesn't improve in the outfield. Mullins, 31, also hasn't played since last Tuesday due to a sore back, but it's not viewed as a long-term issue. He still has power from the left side and could be on the strong side of a platoon in Tampa, but declining batted-ball metrics for Mullins make him merely a late-round dice roll in mixed fantasy leagues this year.

Falcons Sign Nick Folk to a Two-Year Deal
The Atlanta Falcons have signed kicker Nick Folk to a two-year contract, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL.com. Folk spent 2025 with the New York Jets and is now heading to Atlanta for his 20th season in the NFL. He has played for four teams over five years, making appearances with the Patriots, Titans, Jets, and Falcons. He was a rare bright spot for New York last year, going 28-for-29 on field goals and 22-for-22 on extra points. The 41-year-old should benefit from a move to Atlanta, where he'll spend at least half of his games kicking inside a dome. He'll also offer the Falcons a refreshing upgrade at kicker after they trotted out a combination of Parker Romo and Zane Gonzalez in the aftermath of Younghoe Koo's early-season release.

Bills Sign Kyle Allen to a Two-Year Deal
The Buffalo Bills have signed quarterback Kyle Allen to a two-year, $4.1 million deal that is worth up to $6.1 million, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com. Allen most recently backed up Jared Goff in Detroit, and now he'll join Buffalo to back up his close friend, Josh Allen. The 29-year-old instantly slots into the No. 2 role on the depth chart after the Bills watched Mitch Trubisky depart for the Tennessee Titans in free agency. Buffalo will hope that Josh Allen stays healthy for all of 2026, but if he needs to miss any time, they'll feel comfortable about plugging Kyle Allen into the offensive system. The Houston product mostly just handled kneel-down situations for the Lions in 2025, but back in 2019 with the Panthers, he appeared in 13 games with 3,322 passing yards, 19 total touchdowns, and 23 total turnovers.

Joey Wentz Suffers Season-Ending Torn ACL
Atlanta Braves left-hander Joey Wentz (knee) suffered a torn right ACL in a Grapefruit League game against the Tampa Bay Rays during a collision near first base on Sunday, according to Chad Bishop of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Wentz will be forced to miss the entire 2026 season as a result. Although the 28-year-old southpaw has started only 39 of the 117 games he's pitched in over the course of his four-year big-league career, he offered the Braves some rotation depth with injuries to right-handers Spencer Schwellenbach (elbow) and Hurston Waldrep (elbow), who both had surgeries on their arms this spring. It's yet another blow to the Braves' pitching depth before the start of the new season. Wentz pitched for the Braves, Pirates, and Twins in 2025, posting an ugly 5.60 ERA (4.06 FIP) and 1.56 WHIP with 92 K's and 43 walks in 98 innings in 39 appearances (13 starts).

Case Keenum Re-Signs with the Bears
The Chicago Bears have re-signed quarterback Case Keenum to a two-year, $5.5 million deal with a maximum value of $8 million, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com. Keenum hasn't played an NFL snap since 2023, and he spent 2025 in the third-string role behind Caleb Williams and Tyson Bagent. The depth chart isn't expected to change much in 2026, so we're a bit surprised to see the Bears make such a financial commitment to a third-string quarterback. With that said, he offers indisputed experience, depth, and a veteran presence in an otherwise young quarterback room. Chicago will hope its investment in Keenum ends up being an exercise of caution, as he'd likely only get into a game if both Williams and Bagent were hurt (or if Bagent gets traded).

Charlie Kolar Signs Three-Year Deal With Chargers
The Los Angeles Chargers have signed free-agent tight end Charlie Kolar to a three-year, $24.3 million deal that includes $17 million guaranteed, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL.com. While Pelissero notes that this is the largest deal ever for a blocking tight end, we wouldn't be surprised to see Kolar step into more of a receiving role in Los Angeles. He showed flashes of pass-catching potential in Baltimore -- as much as he could while buried in the No. 3 tight end role behind Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely. He had a career-high 10 catches for 142 yards in 2025, headlined by a two-game touchdown streak during the first half of the season. With the Bolts, he'll presumably operate as the No. 2 tight end behind Oronde Gadsden. Despite the new contract and bump up the depth chart, Kolar likely still faces an uphill battle to fantasy relevance in a Mike McDaniel system that hasn't leaned super heavily on its No. 2 tight end in the past.

Min Woo Lee an Intriguing Option at the Players
Min Woo Lee has put together one of the strongest starts to the season, recording five finishes of T38 or better, including three straight top-12 results. He looks to carry that momentum into THE PLAYERS, where he has made three career starts with finishes of T6, T54, and T20. TPC Sawgrass rewards players who find fairways, play well on approach, and convert their opportunities on the greens. Lee ranks seventh on tour in total strokes gained (+1.573 per round), 78th on approach (+0.116), and 39th in putting (+0.411). He has also been excellent off the tee, ranking first in total driving. His proximity from key approach ranges has been mixed, sitting 46th from 125-150 yards (20'10") and 129th from 150-175 yards (31'1"), distances that accounted for 36.5% of all approach shots here last year. At $7,500 on DraftKings, Lee offers plenty of upside at his price, though he will likely need a stronger week with his mid-irons to return value.

Greg Dulcich Re-Signs with the Dolphins
The Miami Dolphins have re-signed tight end Greg Dulcich to a one-year deal worth $3.25 million, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com. Dulcich enjoyed a late-season breakout with Miami in 2025, capitalizing on an injury to fellow tight end Darren Waller. The 25-year-old had multiple catches in each of his last seven games, including 11 catches over the final three weeks of the regular season. The highlight of his year came in Week 17 against the Patriots, when Dulcich caught five passes for 58 yards and a touchdown. He averaged 6.3 fantasy points per game across 10 contests; if you extrapolate that number over a 17-game season, he would've been the TE27 overall behind T.J. Hockenson and ahead of Sam LaPorta. It's a bit too premature to say that Dulcich has top-25 appeal for 2026, but we like his chances to get more involved if he's confirmed as the Dolphins' new No. 1 tight end with Waller gone.

Sahith Theegala Looks to Continue Strong Form at the Players
Sahith Theegala continued his strong start to the season with his third top-10 finish, a T6 at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. He now heads to THE PLAYERS, where he has four career starts with mixed results, ranging from a missed cut to a T9 finish here in 2024. TPC Sawgrass rewards players who hit fairways, are solid on approach, and convert opportunities on the green. Theegala ranks 22nd in total strokes gained (+1.014 per round), 44th on approach (+0.353), and 33rd in putting (+0.480), though he has struggled a bit off the tee, sitting 80th in total driving. His mid-iron play has been especially sharp, ranking ninth on tour in proximity from 150-175 yards and 40th from 125-150. Those two ranges accounted for 36.5% of all approach shots here last year. At $7,000 on DraftKings, Theegala enters the week in great form and brings plenty of upside at this price.

Jonathan Kuminga in Danger of Missing Third Consecutive Game
Atlanta Hawks forward Jonathan Kuminga (knee) is considered questionable for Tuesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. He is dealing with a bone bruise in his left knee, and it might sideline Kuminga for a third consecutive game. Kuminga's absence from the rotation has given Zaccharie Risacher, Corey Kispert, and Mouhamed Gueye a chance to stake a claim for more playing time, but none of the trio has stepped up.

Titans Sign Tight End Daniel Bellinger
The Tennessee Titans signed former New York Giants tight end Daniel Bellinger to an undisclosed deal on Monday, sources told Dianna Russini of The Athletic. The move reunites him with former head coach Brian Daboll, who is now the offensive coordinator in Tennessee. The 25-year-old is expected to help replace Chig Okonkwo, who is most likely departing in free agency. Second-year tight end Gunnar Helm is expected to move into the top pass-catching tight end role in Tennessee, with Bellinger likely being the No. 2. In his four years with the Giants and Daboll, Bellinger had 88 catches for 934 yards and four touchdowns in 62 regular-season games. The former fourth-rounder in 2022 out of San Diego State had a career-best 286 receiving yards on 19 catches last year, scoring only twice in 16 games. Unless Helm misses time due to injury in 2026, Bellinger should be on the waiver wire in standard 12-team leagues.

Giants Re-Sign Isaiah Hodgins to One-Year Deal
The New York Giants re-signed wide receiver Isaiah Hodgins on Monday to an undisclosed one-year deal, a source told Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports. Hodgins began last season on the Pittsburgh Steelers' practice squad before eventually being signed to the Giants' active roster in November. The 27-year-old former sixth-round pick by the Buffalo Bills in 2020 out of Oregon State caught just 10 of his 19 targets for 115 yards and one touchdown in seven games (five starts) for the G-Men in 2025. At best, he'll most likely be competing for the WR3 role in New York now that Wan'Dale Robinson has left in free agency. And with new tight end Isaiah Likely in town, Hodgins could be the fourth or fifth option for young quarterback Jaxson Dart in the passing game. In his five years in the NFL, Hodgins has only 70 catches for 749 yards and eight touchdowns in 38 games played (19 starts) for the Giants and Bills.

Jahan Dotson Reaches Agreement With Falcons on Two-Year Contract
Former Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jahan Dotson reached an agreement on Monday with the Atlanta Falcons on a two-year, $15 million deal worth up to $17 million, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter. The deal also includes $10 million fully guaranteed for Dotson. The 25-year-old was joined by Olamide Zaccheaus as free-agent additions on Monday at the receiver position for Atlanta. Both Dotson and Zaccheaus will be clearly behind Drake London in the pecking order for WR1 duties. In fact, Dotson and Zaccheaus could be competing for the No. 2/3 role going into the 2026 regular season. However, he should have a better chance to secure more targets after catching just 37 passes in 34 regular-season games the last two seasons behind A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith in Philadelphia. Dotson's best season was his rookie year in 2022 with the Commanders, when he caught 35 passes for 523 yards and seven touchdowns. The former first-rounder will probably go undrafted in 12-team leagues.
