Jahan Dotson PHI WREagles' Jahan Dotson: Logs three catches vs. Washington
3m agoDotson caught three passes on as many targets for 13 yards during the Eagles' 29-18 win over the Commanders on Saturday.
A.J. Brown (12 targets) and DeVonta Smith (eight targets) dominated the looks from Jalen Hurts during Saturday's win. Dotson got into the action with two catches during the Eagles' first offensive drive of the second half, and he would have had a five-yard touchdown catch to his name had it not been nullified by an offensive holding penalty. Dotson has not seen more than three targets in a game this season, and he'll carry a 15-222-1 line (on 27 targets) into the Eagles' Week 16 road tilt against the Bills on Sunday, Dec. 28. With Philadelphia locked in as the NFC East divisional champions, it's possible that Dotson's fantasy floor gets elevated over the final two games of the regular season if the Eagles decide to reduce the workloads of Brown and Smith before the start of the postseason.

Tank Bigsby PHI RBEagles' Tank Bigsby: Gets into end zone Saturday
3m agoBigsby logged four rushes for 37 yards and a touchdown Saturday in a 29-18 Week 16 win over Washington.
As usual, Saquon Barkley was a workhorse for the Eagles, posting a 21-132-1 line as a rusher. That left just eight offensive snaps for Bigsby, but he made the most of those opportunities, especially when he ripped off a 22-yard touchdown run late in the fourth quarter to effectively seal the win for Philadelphia. The touchdown was the first of the campaign for Bigsby, who has averaged a robust 6.6 yards on 40 carries this season but isn't likely to be a viable fantasy play as long as Barkley as healthy.

Ben Sinnott WAS TECommanders' Ben Sinnott: Muted output again
13m agoSinnott caught one pass on two targets for five yards during the Commanders' 29-18 loss to the Eagles on Saturday.
Sinnott's lone catch came midway through the fourth quarter, when he hauled in a five-yard pass from Josh Johnson, the latter of whom replaced Marcus Mariota (hand) in the third frame. Sinnott has caught one pass in each of his last three games, and while his snap count on offense has increased after Zach Ertz tore his ACL in Week 14 against the Vikings, the former's offensive production has not. Next up for Sinnott and the Commanders is an NFC East home tilt against the Cowboys on Christmas Day.

Treylon Burks WAS WRCommanders' Treylon Burks: Leads team in targets in Week 16 loss
14m agoBurks tallied two catches on five targets for 30 yards Saturday in a loss to the Eagles.
Burks (45 offensive snaps), Terry McLaurin (45) and Deebo Samuel (44) logged nearly equal workloads, and Burks actually led the Commanders in targets. However, he finished third among the trio in yardage, with most of his production coming on a 24-yard catch on the first play of the third quarter. Of note, starting QB Marcus Mariota -- who was filling in for Jayden Daniels (elbow), who is out for the season -- didn't finish Saturday's contest after suffering a hand injury in the second half, and Josh Johnson had to take over following Mariota's departure. Washington's offense would likely be in Johnson's hands if Mariota has to miss additional time, which would figure to dampen the outlook of the team's passing game as a whole.
-
Jeremy McNichols WAS RBCommanders' Jeremy McNichols: Logs three touches in Week 16 loss
22m agoMcNichols finished Saturday's loss to Philadelphia with one carry for three yards and two catches (on three targets) for nine yards.
McNichols posted a season-high 10 touches versus the Giants in Week 15, but that increased workload was largely due to the absence of No. 1 RB Chris Rodriguez. With both Rodriguez and No. 2 tailback Jacory Croskey-Merritt in action Saturday, McNichols went back to his usual minor role, though he did get more offensive snaps (15) than Croskey-Merritt (11). As long as at least one of the two running backs ahead of him on the depth chart is healthy, McNichols figures to be mostly a non-factor in fantasy.

Tee Higgins CIN WRBengals' Tee Higgins: On track to play Sunday
1h agoHiggins (concussion) is in line to play Sunday against the Dolphins, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Per Fowler, Higgins, who the Bengals listed as questionable for the contest, is "good to go," with the report noting that the team was hopeful about the wideout's status this weekend, but wanted to make sure he felt good Sunday morning. Official confirmation of Higgins' Week 16 playing status is slated to arrive once inactives are posted ahead of Cincinnati's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Justin Bruihl CLE RPGuardians' Justin Bruihl: DFA'd by Cleveland
10h agoThe Guardians designated Bruihl for assignment Saturday.
Cleveland just acquired Bruihl from Toronto in exchange for cash considerations Wednesday, but it appears the Guardians no longer see the southpaw as part of the team's big-league bullpen after they signed fellow reliever Shawn Armstrong on Thursday. Bruihl may have to settle for a minor-league deal eventually, as he holds a career 4.72 ERA and 1.37 WHIP with a 69:32 K:BB over 89.2 innings across 94 games spanning parts of five campaigns.
-
Paul Blackburn NYY RPYankees' Paul Blackburn: Back with Yankees on one-year deal
12h agoThe Yankees signed Blackburn to a one-year, $2 million contract Saturday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
Blackburn began last season with the Mets but was released in mid-August. He was subsequently signed by the Yankees, with whom he made eight appearances out of the bullpen, posting a 5.28 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 16:4 K:BB over 15.1 innings. While those numbers aren't impressive, the bulk of the damage against him came in his team debut, when he gave up seven runs over 3.1 frames against Boston. Over his remaining seven appearances, Blackburn was much more effective, yielding just three runs (two earned) while posting a 14:2 K:BB across 12 innings. The veteran right-hander will likely work as a middle- and long-relief option next season with New York and also gives the team rotation depth given his history of working as a big-league starter.
-
Justyn-Henry Malloy DET 3BTigers' Justyn-Henry Malloy: Designated for assignment
16h agoMalloy was designated for assignment by the Tigers on Saturday.
The Tigers needed to make room on the 40-man roster for recent re-signee Kyle Finnegan, and Malloy has ended up being the cut. Malloy has struggled during his time in the majors so far, posting a .656 OPS with nine home runs, 38 RBI, 33 runs and one stolen base over 123 games spanning 357 plate appearances. He's also posted a 32.8 percent strikeout rate, though he has shown an ability to take a free pass with a 12.0 percent walk rate. That and his moderate power could make him a target for other MLB clubs.
-
Stuart Fairchild TB RFGuardians' Stuart Fairchild: Gets NRI from Cleveland
20h agoFairchild signed a minor-league contract with the Guardians on Saturday and received an invitation to spring training.
Finger and oblique injuries kept Fairchild on the sidelines for the majority of the 2025 season, and he posted just a .606 OPS over 55 plate appearances with Atlanta when healthy. The 29-year-old outfielder will have a chance to win a job on Cleveland's bench during spring training, but he's likely destined to spend most of the upcoming season at Triple-A Columbus.
-
Wade Meckler SF CFGiants' Wade Meckler: Designated for assignment
2d agoThe Giants designated Meckler for assignment Friday, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
With Adrian Houser's signing becoming official Friday, Meckler will end up as the roster casualty necessary to make room on San Francisco's 40-man roster. The 25-year-old outfielder slashed .287/.390/.370 across 401 plate appearances at Triple-A Sacramento this past season, but he hasn't appeared in an MLB game since 2023. His ability to play across the outfield and at second base will help his chances of being claimed by another club. However, his chances of contributing in the majors are slim.
-
Marco Luciano PIT LFPirates' Marco Luciano: DFA'd by Bucs
2d agoThe Pirates designated Luciano for assignment Friday, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.
Just two weeks after being claimed from San Francisco, Luciano will once again enter the waiver process following Pittsburgh's acquisitions of Brandon Lowe, Jake Mangum and Mason Montgomery on Friday. The 24-year-old Luciano -- once considered a top prospect in baseball -- could still be an attractive waiver target for other clubs despite his career .590 OPS in the big leagues.

Eli N'Diaye ATL PFHawks' Eli John Ndiaye: Out for season
4m agoNdiaye has been diagnosed with a torn left labrum and will miss the remainder of the 2025-26 season, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
The rookie big man is on a one-year, two-way contract, but he'll end the campaign having yet to make his NBA debut. Ndiaye averaged 8.1 points and 6.9 rebounds in 26.2 minutes spanning nine appearances with the Hawks' G League affiliate.
-
Brook Lopez LAC CClippers' Brook Lopez: Larger role after Zubac exit
9m agoLopez tallied 11 points (4-7 FG, 3-6 3Pt), five rebounds and two blocks over 25 minutes during the Clippers' 103-88 win over the Lakers on Saturday.
Lopez entered Saturday's game averaging 14.2 minutes off the bench, but his 25 minutes were a season high and largely came after Ivica Zubac left in the first quarter due to a left ankle injury. Lopez would be an intriguing fantasy streamer at center for his rebounding and three-point proficiency if Zubac were to be sidelined for an extended period of time.
-
Nique Clifford SAC SGKings' Nique Clifford: Scores 12 points against POR
15m agoClifford racked up 12 points (5-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist and two steals across 29 minutes during Saturday's 98-93 loss to the Trail Blazers.
Clifford's 11 field goal attempts tied his season high, and he scored in double figures for the fourth time this year. The rookie wing has stepped into a larger role during December, averaging 6.6 points and 2.7 rebounds across 20.7 minutes per game.
-
Dylan Cardwell SAC CKings' Dylan Cardwell: Swats five shots vs. Portland
19m agoCardwell logged four points (1-3 FG, 2-6 FT), eight rebounds, five blocks and one steal over 21 minutes during the Kings' 98-93 loss to the Trail Blazers on Saturday.
The undrafted rookie played a season-high 21 minutes during Saturday's loss, notably ahead of Precious Achiuwa (10) despite the latter starting. Cardwell has accumulated eight blocks over his last two NBA outings and appears to be solidifying himself as the Kings' backup center behind Maxime Raynaud. That trend could continue into the new year, at least for as long as Domantas Sabonis (knee) is sidelined.
-
Ryan Kalkbrenner CHA CHornets' Ryan Kalkbrenner: Quiet in loss
21m agoKalkbrenner finished with four points (2-3 FG), seven rebounds, two assists and one block in 24 minutes during Saturday's 112-86 loss to the Pistons.
Kalkbrenner scored fewer than five points for the fourth time in 26 games this season, and he failed to log multiple blocks for a second straight outing. The rookie center has slowed up slightly after a strong start to the campaign, averaging 7.7 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.6 blocks over his last 11 appearances.
-
Miles Bridges CHA PFHornets' Miles Bridges: Scores 19 points in blowout
27m agoBridges produced 19 points (6-15 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds and two assists over 30 minutes during Saturday's 112-86 loss to the Pistons.
Bridges' two rebounds tied a season low, and he didn't chip in much in other peripheral categories. Still, his scoring ability prevented the night from being a wash, as he scored at least 18 points for the 17th time in 28 games this season. The 27-year-old forward is averaging 21.1 points, 6.0 rebounds and 3.7 assists across 34.6 minutes in 2025-26.
-
Ilya Solovyov COL DAvalanche's Ilya Solovyov: Back from conditioning loan
4m agoSolovyov was recalled from his conditioning stint with AHL Colorado on Sunday.
Solovyov didn't post a point in three minor-league appearances during his conditioning loan. He also hasn't reached the scoresheet in nine NHL outings this season while posting nine shots on net, 15 blocked shots and 11 hits.
-
Lian Bichsel DAL DStars' Lian Bichsel: Yet to begin rehab
5m agoBichsel is targeting a return date just before or after the Olympic break, Sam Nestler of DLLS Stars reports Sunday.
Bichsel is still not weight-bearing and has yet to begin rehabbing his lower body injury, suffered on Nov. 30. The 21-year-old was place on long-term injured reserve and is still a while out from a return. Bichsel had one goal and two assists with a plus-6 rating in 26 games prior to his injury.
-
Jakob Pelletier TB LWLightning's Jakob Pelletier: Returned to minors
23m agoPelletier was reassigned to AHL Syracuse on Sunday.
Pelletier was a healthy scratch in Saturday's 6-4 win over Carolina because Nikita Kucherov (illness) returned to the lineup from a one-game absence. The 24-year-old Pelletier has compiled 15 goals and 31 points in 24 AHL appearances this season.
-
Thomas Chabot OTT DSenators' Thomas Chabot: Nabs helper in return
32m agoChabot recorded an assist with two shots on net, a blocked shot and a minus-1 rating in Saturday's 6-4 win over Chicago.
Returning to the lineup after a 12-game absence due to an upper-body injury, Chabot immediately slotted back in on Ottawa's top pairing with Jake Sanderson and handled duties on the point of the second power-play unit. Chabot has only been healthy enough to play 19 games so far in 2025-26, but the 28-year-old defenseman has been productive when available with two goals and 11 points, along with 37 blocked shots, 24 shots on net and a plus-4 rating.
-
Claude Giroux OTT LWSenators' Claude Giroux: Two helpers against 'Hawks
35m agoGiroux picked up two assists, one on the power play, in Saturday's 6-4 win over Chicago.
Both helpers came in the third period as Ottawa broke open a 3-3 tie. Giroux isn't the offensive force he once was at age 37, but he's still supplying solid production with six goals and 21 points in 34 games, including a goal and six assists on the power play.
-
Jake Oettinger DAL GStars' Jake Oettinger: Tending goal Sunday
36m agoOettinger will get the start Sunday against the Maple Leafs, Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine reports Sunday.
Oettinger is tied for the league lead with 15 wins, sharing that distinction with four other netminders. The 27-year-old is coming off of a 34-save performance against the Sharks his last time out, snapping a personal two-game losing streak. He brings a 15-6-2 record, 2.56 GAA and a .907 save percentage into battle with the Maple Leafs, losers of four of their last five games.
