Milwaukee Bucks guard
Kevin Porter Jr. (knee) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Hawks after recently returning from a four-game absence due to the same issue. If he sits,
Ryan Rollins could continue seeing an elevated role after posting 16 points, 10 assists, and five rebounds in 33 minutes off the bench last game, making him a strong fantasy option and a viable hold as the fantasy season winds down.
AJ Green and
Cam Thomas could also see more time, though both remain risky options due to inconsistent roles.

Sacramento Kings guard
Devin Carter (calf) will miss Saturday's game against the Clippers, marking his second straight absence due to the injury. With
Russell Westbrook back in the lineup,
Killian Hayes is expected to handle backup point guard duties, though his fantasy appeal remains limited to low-end assists and occasional steals in a reserve role. Carter being out could help
Malik Monk (ankle) hold steady minutes if he's able to suit up. With most fantasy playoffs underway and the season winding down, Carter is becoming a tougher hold outside of deeper formats.

March 14, 2026
Sacramento Kings guard
Russell Westbrook (quadriceps) is off the injury report and expected to return Saturday against the Clippers after missing one game. The veteran is likely to reclaim starting point guard duties, which should send
Killian Hayes back to a reserve role after he filled in during Westbrook's absence. Westbrook remains a strong fantasy option when active, averaging 17.6 points, 8.6 assists, 5.2 rebounds, and 1.4 steals over five March appearances in nearly 30 minutes per game. His return should slightly reduce
DeMar DeRozan's secondary ballhandling while lowering Hayes' short-term streaming appeal.

March 14, 2026
Boston Celtics guard
Derrick White (knee) is probable for Saturday's game against the Wizards after missing one game with a right knee contusion. The veteran is expected to resume his starting role, likely sending
Payton Pritchard back to the bench after filling in the last game. White has been a reliable fantasy contributor when available, averaging 21.4 points, 2.4 three-pointers, 3.8 rebounds, and 5.6 assists over his last five outings in 34 minutes per game. His return should help settle Boston's guard rotation, with Payton Pritchard going back to his usual bench scoring role while
Jaylen Brown takes on a bit less playmaking.

March 14, 2026
Brooklyn Nets forward
Michael Porter Jr. (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Saturday's game against the 76ers and appears likely to miss a second straight contest. His absence should continue to open minutes for
Danny Wolf, who started last game and posted eight points, eight rebounds, and two assists in 28 minutes, making him a safer deep-league streamer with Brooklyn thin up front.
Josh Minott broke out for 24 points with four triples, three steals, and three blocks in 24 minutes, but his inconsistent role still makes him a risky fantasy play.
Noah Clowney could also see a slight usage bump.
--Brian DailisanSource: Erik Slater
March 14, 2026
Brooklyn Nets center
Nicolas Claxton (rest) will sit out Saturday's matchup against the 76ers for routine maintenance, with the expectation he returns Monday against Portland.
Danny Wolf is positioned to handle most of the center minutes after starting the previous game, where he posted eight points, eight rebounds, two assists, and one three-pointer in 28 minutes. With
Day'Ron Sharpe (thumb) already ruled out for the season, Wolf could remain a deep-league streaming option for rebounds and modest all-around production.
Noah Clowney and
Josh Minott may also see slight workload increases in Brooklyn's thin frontcourt rotation.
--Brian DailisanSource: Erik Slater
March 14, 2026
Utah Jazz guard/forward
Ace Bailey (concussion) did not return in Friday's loss to the Trail Blazers after experiencing symptoms following an early exit. The rookie logged just seven minutes, finishing with eight points on perfect shooting, plus one rebound, one assist, one steal, and one block. If Bailey misses time, Utah may lean more on
Elijah Harkless and
Andersson Garcia, though both remain risky deep-league streamers after modest production in expanded runs.
Cody Williams and
Kyle Filipowski could also see slight usage bumps as the Jazz continue prioritizing youth development amid multiple rotation injuries.

Anaheim Ducks defenseman Radko Gudas was handed a five-game suspension for a knee-on-knee hit on Toronto Maple Leafs forward Auston Matthews (knee) during Thursday's 6-4 loss. Matthews sustained a season-ending injury from the hit. Gudas, who received his fifth career suspension, will exit the lineup on Saturday against the Ottawa Senators and won't be eligible to return until Anaheim's matchup with the Vancouver Canucks on March 24. The 35-year-old veteran has made 52 appearances this season, recording 13 points (two goals, 11 assists), 60 shots, 82 blocks, and 156 hits. John Carlson (lower body) is expected to make his Ducks debut this weekend and could take Gudas' spot in the lineup.

Toronto Maple Leafs center Auston Matthews (knee) will miss the rest of the 2025-26 season, the team announced Friday. The Maple Leafs captain was injured on Thursday against the Anaheim Ducks and has been diagnosed with a Grade 3 MCL tear and a bruised quadriceps muscle. Toronto will re-evaluate him in two weeks. Matthews finishes his 10th NHL campaign with 53 points (27 goals, 26 assists) in 60 games. It's his first season without averaging at least a point per game since his rookie year in 2016-17. John Tavares will take over the top-line center job for the rest of the season.

New York Yankees catcher
Austin Wells hit a game-ending three-run home run in the seventh inning on Friday for Team Dominican Republic to help them beat South Korea 10-0 to reach the World Baseball Classic semifinals. Wells' homer was the 14th for the Dominicans in the tournament, tying the record set by Mexico in 2009. The 26-year-old left-handed hitting backstop also hit a home run for the Dominican Republic in pool play in a win over the Netherlands. Wells is the Yankees' primary catcher going into the 2026 season after he hit .219/.275/.436 with a .712 OPS, a career-high 21 home runs, 71 RBI, 51 runs scored, and five stolen bases in 448 plate appearances over 126 games in his third year in the big leagues. If you wait at the catching position, Wells is a solid No. 2 catching target for his power in a strong Yankees' lineup. He should have a pretty solid counting-stat floor as New York's primary option behind the dish.

Kansas City Royals infielder
Jonathan India (groin) left Friday night's Cactus League game against the Arizona Diamondbacks with right-groin tightness, the team announced. Before leaving with the injury, India was 1-for-1 at the plate with a double and a run scored. The 29-year-old was pulled in the third frame. For now, fantasy managers should consider India day-to-day, but with two weeks until Opening Day, his availability for the start of the 2026 regular season is certainly in question. If India's injury lands him on the injured list to begin the year,
Michael Massey is the most likely candidate to take over playing time in KC at the keystone. India, a former fifth overall pick by the Cincinnati Reds in 2018 out of the University of Florida, had the worst year of his career in 2025 in his first season with the Royals, slashing .233/.323/.346 with a .669 OPS, career-low nine home runs, 45 RBI, and 63 runs in 136 games played. He hasn't returned to the 20-homer mark since he won National League Rookie of the Year honors in 2021. His batted-ball metrics support a rebound, but you can get India at a low price late in deep-mixed leagues as middle-infield insurance.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver
Tory Horton (shin, groin) continues to face plenty of competition for targets, forcing dynasty managers to exercise additional patience. Horton was an exciting name to watch last year, largely due to his fifth-round price tag and the Seahawks' willingness to trade away
DK Metcalf. He certainly flashed some intriguing production, including four touchdowns over the first five games of his rookie season. However, even in the post-Metcalf era of Seahawks football, Horton faces stiff competition for targets.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba is one of the best players in the entire NFL, and
Rashid Shaheed figures to have a sizable role after signing an extension.
Cooper Kupp is also under contract, leaving Horton in line for the No. 4 receiver role -- and that's only if he's healthy. Horton had surgery and won't be ready for the start of offseason programs. It seems like there's a decent chance he's ready for Week 1, but even so, his somewhat discouraging role on the depth chart makes him tough to trust in fantasy football. He's worth holding in dynasty leagues and will likely require significant patience from his fantasy managers.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back
Kaleb Johnson had an incredibly disheartening rookie season in 2025, tallying just 69 rushing yards and nine receiving yards. He was a healthy scratch seven times, and he didn't register a single return on special teams after Week 2. The Iowa product quickly became a non-factor on the Steelers' roster, which was somewhat surprising since the team drafted him in the third round of last year's draft. Johnson's outlook with the Steelers could be dissipating as quickly as it was ignited. Between his subpar 2025 season and the arrival of a new coaching staff that has no pre-existing ties to him, Johnson seems like he could be the odd man out in Pittsburgh's backfield next year. The Steelers signed
Rico Dowdle to pair with
Jaylen Warren, so at best, Johnson will be the team's No. 3 running back. It's only been a year, but he's already droppable in most dynasty leagues.
--Andersen PickardSource: RotoBaller
March 13, 2026
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver
DK Metcalf suddenly finds himself facing plenty of competition for targets on offense. The 28-year-old entered this offseason as the Steelers' clear No. 1 receiver, and it initially seemed like he was due for even more targets with
Calvin Austin III slated for free agency. While Austin did indeed sign elsewhere (the New York Giants, to be exact), Pittsburgh brought in a major pass-catching threat by trading for
Michael Pittman Jr. Not only is the former Indianapolis Colts receiver a huge contributor on offense, but he could push to take over as the Steelers' No. 1 receiver in front of Metcalf. That's not bad news for the Steelers -- two top receivers is a nice luxury to have -- but it's potentially concerning for Metcalf's dynasty managers. Pittsburgh's offense wasn't great by any means last year, and they could go run-heavy in 2026 with
Jaylen Warren and
Rico Dowdle in tow. If Metcalf can't even separate himself from Pittman, he might have trouble improving on his 2025 stat line, which included 59 catches, 850 yards, and six touchdowns. Metcalf should be viewed as a mid-to-high WR3 with WR2 upside.

Arizona Cardinals tight end
Trey McBride had a spectacular 2025 season, and he'll look to repeat his success with quarterback consistency on the way in 2026. Outside of five games with
Kyler Murray as his quarterback, McBride spent most of last season catching passes from
Jacoby Brissett. The veteran backup isn't a flashy passer by any means, but he played surprisingly well and supported an elite-tier campaign from McBride. The 26-year-old finished the year with 126 catches, 1,239 yards, and 11 touchdowns, ranking as the overall TE1 in full-PPR leagues. He has now been a top-two fantasy tight end in back-to-back seasons, and with Brissett due back next year, McBride remains a top fantasy option at his position. Of course, the markets have adjusted and McBride no longer comes at a discount. He's priced as one of the top tight ends in fantasy football and will likely have a second-round ADP in most leagues next summer. From a dynasty perspective, he should be held in all leagues. He's too expensive to buy low, but too young and talented to sell high.
--Andersen PickardSource: RotoBaller
March 13, 2026
Baltimore Ravens tight end
Mark Andrews could be headed for a bounce-back campaign in 2026 after the departure of two teammates. Baltimore watched
Isaiah Likely and
Charlie Kolar walk in free agency, leaving no doubt that Andrews is the Ravens' No. 1 tight end going forward. That's potentially good news for his fantasy outlook, as managers will be looking for him to bounce back from a subpar 2025 season in which he caught 48 passes for 422 yards and five touchdowns. He has ranked outside the top 14 fantasy tight ends (full-PPR) in two of the last three years. Dynasty managers should feel encouraged that he might reverse course and get back on track next season. Even though he's in his thirties, Andrews can be an encouraging buy-low in dynasty leagues this offseason since many of his fantasy managers are likely discouraged by recent results.
--Andersen PickardSource: RotoBaller
March 13, 2026
Milwaukee Bucks forward/center
Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Hawks as the team manages his workload during the first leg of a back-to-back. If the former MVP sits,
Bobby Portis could take on a larger scoring role and profiles as a strong streaming option after posting 19 points, five rebounds, one assist, and one steal in 26 minutes last game.
Jericho Sims could also see extra minutes, though he is more of a fringe option unless you are in deeper formats.
--Brian DailisanSource: NBA Injury Report
March 13, 2026
Sacramento Kings forward
Keegan Murray (ankle) will be re-evaluated in two weeks as he continues recovering from an ankle injury that has already cost him multiple games. With Sacramento out of the playoff race, Murray does not appear close to a return. He is becoming a difficult hold with the fantasy season nearing its final stretch.
Precious Achiuwa has stepped into a larger role, posting 14 points, eight rebounds, two assists, one steal, and one block in 30 minutes in his last start, while
Daeqwon Plowden added 13 points with three 3-pointers off the bench. Achiuwa is the priority target on waivers, while Plowden may also see enough run to warrant deep league attention.
--Brian DailisanSource: Matt George
March 13, 2026
Denver Nuggets forward/center
Aaron Gordon (hamstring) is listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Lakers after sitting out one contest for injury management. The veteran forward is still working his way back after a long layoff, so some inconsistency is expected. Gordon showed upside on March 9 with 23 points, 10 rebounds, three assists, and one steal in 29 minutes but followed with a quieter 23-minute outing two days later. He remains a hold in most formats, though expectations may need to be tempered in the short term. His return should push
Spencer Jones back to a smaller bench role.
--Brian DailisanSource: NBA Injury Report
March 13, 2026
Denver Nuggets guard
Jamal Murray (ankle) is listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Lakers after dealing with a minor left ankle issue earlier this month, though it has not forced him to miss time. The veteran guard remains a must-start fantasy option while healthy, averaging 26.0 points, 2.2 three-pointers, 3.4 rebounds, and 5.4 assists over his last five games. Murray logged 40 minutes with seven assists and a steal in his last outing. His presence keeps the rotation intact, with
Nikola Jokic leading the offense and
Christian Braun and
Aaron Gordon (hamstring) filling secondary roles.
--Brian DailisanSource: NBA Injury Report
March 13, 2026
Chicago Bulls guard
Collin Sexton (leg) will remain on the sideline ahead of Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. This marks the third game in a row that Sexton has missed with a leg injury. Fantasy managers should consider Sexton questionable ahead of Monday's matchup with the Memphis Grizzlies. The absence of Sexton should mean that
Rob Dillingham continues to see increased run in the rotation. He finished with 12 points, seven assists, and five rebounds across 29 minutes of action on Thursday. Outside of that performance, Dillingham has mostly been a dud lately. He'll be a possible deep league option while Sexton is out.
--Andy WebbSource: NBA Injury Report
March 13, 2026
Chicago Bulls forward/center
Jalen Smith (calf) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. The Bulls have decided to take the cautious approach and rest Smith in the second leg of this back-to-back set.
Guerschon Yabusele and
Nick Richards should see a bump in playing time without Smith available. Between the two, Richards is the better streaming choice ahead of Friday's slate. Richards has been posting consistent numbers and is worthy of a look in at least deep leagues.
--Andy WebbSource: NBA Injury Report
March 13, 2026
Portland Trail Blazers center
Robert Williams III (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Utah Jazz. This appears to be a maintenance day for Williams, but he should be back for Sunday's contest against the Philadelphia 76ers. In his absence,
Yang Hansen and
Sidy Cissoko should see an increased look in the rotation. Neither player figures to do enough damage as the backup center to be worthy of streaming for Friday's slate.
--Andy WebbSource: NBA Injury Report
March 13, 2026
Tennessee Titans quarterback
Cameron Ward (shoulder) has been cleared to throw the football this offseason after suffering a sprained AC joint in his right shoulder in the Week 18 regular-season finale, according to Cameron Wolfe of the NFL Network. Last month, the Titans focused on Ward's lower body and his footwork, but now he's been cleared to throw. Wolfe says that Ward "should be good to go" for offseason workouts with the rest of the team as he looks to improve going into Year 2 in 2026. The former University of Miami star wants to get ahead this offseason and learn new offensive coordinator Brian Daboll's system. The Titans are optimistic that Daboll will allow Ward to be the playmaker that he is, similar to what he did for
Josh Allen in Buffalo. Fantasy managers will be more cautiously optimistic in redraft leagues this fall, but Ward has weapons in place to make a sophomore jump. Treat him as a low-end QB2 in drafts later this year, but with plenty of upside for more.

March 13, 2026
Golden State Warriors forward
Draymond Green (back) has been downgraded to out ahead of Friday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Green was a late addition to the injury report and will now officially miss Friday's contest.
Al Horford is already starting, so
Will Richard figures to draw the start in place of Green. Richard was expected to head to the bench with
De'Anthony Melton (groin) returning. Instead, Richard likely plays a bigger role with Green unavailable on Friday. Richard should do enough on the court to warrant a look in deep leagues.
--Andy WebbSource: Warriors PR
March 13, 2026
Golden State Warriors guard
De'Anthony Melton (groin) is available to play ahead of Friday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Melton is back after missing Tuesday's game due to injury. His return to the rotation should shift
Will Richard back to the second unit. This season, Melton is averaging 13.0 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 2.3 assists across 22.5 minutes per game. He does enough on the court to warrant a look in deep leagues. He has scored 20 points or more in four of his last six games. Fantasy managers might want to consider streaming Melton while he's hot.
--Andy WebbSource: NBA Injury Report
March 13, 2026
Minnesota Timberwolves guard
Ayo Dosunmu (thumb) is available to play ahead of Friday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Dosunmu is back in the mix after missing Wednesday's game due to a thumb sprain. His return to the lineup should mean
Terrence Shannon Jr. will see a reduced role in the rotation. Since joining the Wolves, Dosunmu is averaging 11.0 points and 2.5 assists per game. When healthy, Dosunmu does enough on the court to at least roster in deep leagues.

The Boston Red Sox signed free-agent left-handed reliever
Danny Coulombe to an undisclosed one-year deal on Friday. In a corresponding move, the Red Sox placed infielder
Romy Gonzalez (shoulder) on the 60-day injured list after he had left-shoulder surgery. The 36-year-old Coulombe was originally a 25th-round draft pick by the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2012 out of Texas Tech. He had a solid 2.30 ERA, 1.16 WHIP, a career-high two saves, 43 strikeouts, and 18 walks in 43 innings over 55 appearances (one start) last year with the Minnesota Twins and Texas Rangers. Over his 11 seasons in the big leagues, Coulombe has gone 17-10 with a 3.35 ERA (3.62 FIP), 1.20 WHIP, five saves, and a 24% strikeout rate in 11 seasons with five different teams. At best, Coulombe is going to be a lefty specialist out of Boston's bullpen in 2026, and he won't have any real fantasy appeal.
--Keith HernandezSource: The Associated Press
March 13, 2026
Minnesota Timberwolves guard
Anthony Edwards (knee) is available to play ahead of Friday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Edwards will shed the questionable tag and officially suit up for Friday's game. Edwards is dealing with right knee soreness, but it's not significant enough to keep him out of action. Over the last six games, Edwards is averaging 28.0 points, 3.7 assists, and 3.3 rebounds across 34.7 minutes per game. Fantasy managers should double-check their lineups and make sure Edwards is in there ahead of tip-off.
--Andy WebbSource: NBA Injury Report
March 13, 2026
The Texas Rangers signed free-agent left-handed reliever
Jalen Beeks to a one-year deal worth $1.6 million on Friday. In a corresponding move, the Rangers designated right-handed reliever
Alexis Diaz for assignment. Diaz, who was an All-Star closer for the Cincinnati Reds in 2023, had an 8.15 ERA in 18 relief appearances with the Reds, Los Angeles Dodgers, and Atlanta Braves in 2025. He had also allowed eight earned runs in just 1 2/3 innings in three Cactus League appearances this spring. Beeks struck out 47 hitters in 57 1/3 innings while going 5-3 with a 3.77 ERA and a save in 61 appearances out of the bullpen for the Arizona Diamondbacks last season. The 32-year-old veteran southpaw can earn $1 million in performance bonuses for games pitched. He will not be on the fantasy radar as primarily a lefty specialist. Beeks is 28-18 in his career with a 4.31 ERA, and 16 saves in 263 career outings with five different teams.
