Andrew Mukuba PHI SAFEagles' Andrew Mukuba: Finishes rookie season on IR
6h agoMukuba (ankle) played in 11 regular-season games (10 starts) during the 2025 campaign, posting 46 tackles (including 0.5 sacks) and three defensed passes (including two interceptions).
Mukuba was selected in the second round of last April's NFL Draft and took on a big role right away as a rookie. He notched his first pickoff in his second game and logged a defensive snap share of at least 80 percent in 10 of the 11 contests in which he appeared. However, Mukuba fractured his right ankle in late November and subsequently underwent surgery, marking an end to his season. Mukuba should be ready for the beginning of the 2026 campaign and figures to reclaim his starting role in Philadelphia's secondary.

Adoree' Jackson PHI CBEagles' Adoree' Jackson: Racks up 11 defensed passes in 2025
6h agoJackson played in 14 regular-season games (10 starts) during the 2025 campaign, recording 55 tackles and 11 defensed passes, including an interception.
Jackson missed one game due to a concussion and another because of a groin issue but otherwise managed to stay mostly healthy. His 11 defensed passes ranked third on Philadelphia and were his most since his rookie 2017 campaign. Jackson is slated to be a free agent, and it remains to be seen if the Eagles will try to bring him back.

Nakobe Dean PHI LBEagles' Nakobe Dean: Logs career-high sack total in 2025
7h agoDean tallied 55 tackles (including 4.0 sacks), one defensed pass and two forced fumbles over 10 regular-season games (eight starts) during the 2025 campaign.
Dean missed the first five games of the season while recovering from a knee injury and then sat out Weeks 17 and 18 because of a hamstring issue. While that led to his overall tackle total being less than half of what it was (128) in 2024, Dean did manage to reach a career-best mark with his 4.0 sacks. He just completed the final year of his rookie deal, so Dean is slated to be a free agent.

Jaylen Harrell TEN LBTitans' Jaylen Harrell: Role increases late in 2025
7h agoHarrell recorded 25 tackles (14 solo) with 4.5 sacks and one forced fumble across 17 games with the Titans in 2025.
Harrell played exclusively on special teams for the first five games of the season, but his role increased from there. He ultimately played over 50 percent of defensive snaps for most of the second half of the campaign, and he accounted for 4.0 sacks across his last five contests. Harrell could continue to serve as a solid pass rusher while seeing the field primarily on passing downs in 2026.

L'Jarius Sneed TEN CBTitans' L'Jarius Sneed: Minimal impact in 2025
7h agoSneed (quadriceps) recorded 26 tackles (18 solo) with three passes defensed across seven games in 2025.
Sneed was expected to become a key part of Tennessee's defense when he signed a four-year, $76.4 million contract ahead of the 2024 season. Instead, he's combined to appear in only 12 games across two campaigns while failing to record an interception. Sneed missed the Titans' last 10 games of 2025 with a quad injury, and he's very likely to be cut before the new league year.
-
T'Vondre Sweat TEN DTTitans' T'Vondre Sweat: Solid sophomore season
7h agoSweat recorded 34 tackles (16 solo), 2.0 sacks and one pass defensed across 12 games with the Titans in 2025.
Sweat missed five of Tennessee's first six games, primarily due to an ankle injury. That led to a downturn in his overall statistical output, though he remained strong against the run and also tallied 18 quarterback pressures -- a much higher rate than his rookie campaign. Sweat will pair with Jeffery Simmons in 2026 as a formidable duo along the Titans' defensive line.

Andrew Benintendi CHW LFWhite Sox's Andrew Benintendi: Focused on getting on base
8h agoBenintendi anticipates focusing on getting on base rather than hitting for power in 2026, Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Benintendi has hit 20 home runs in consecutive seasons, but he's gotten on base at just a .289 and .307 clip during those two campaigns. He explained that he felt added pressure to deliver power based on the lack of pop elsewhere in the lineup, something that is expected to change in 2026 with Colson Montgomery and Munetaka Murakami a part of the everyday lineup. Benintendi shed weight this offseason to take pressure off his Achilles, after suffering an injury in July that nagged him for the rest of the season.

Ryan Feltner COL SPRockies' Ryan Feltner: Entering season healthy
8h agoFeltner feels 100 percent healthy after dealing with back and shoulder injuries in 2025, Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post reports.
Feltner was limited to only six starts due to a combination of injuries, but he spent his offseason in Florida, working out for six hours most days to improve his durability. His regimen included some traditional strength work, but he also worked with a personal trainer to better understand his movements and the strain placed on his body while on the mound. The Rockies have added several veterans to their pitching staff this offseason, but Feltner should still be a strong candidate to contribute if he can remain healthy.

Henry Davis PIT RFPirates' Henry Davis: Reworking stance and swing
8h agoDavis studied the biomechanics of his swing this offseason and has made adjustments to both his stance and swing, Kevin Gorman of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports.
Davis has reversed his scouting report as a prospect early in his big-league career, struggling as a hitter but becoming a solid defensive option at catcher. He acknowledged that he lost his rhythm at the plate and was not close to reaching an answer by solely watching film and working in the batting cage, so he worked with hitting coach Matt Hague to change his stance this offseason. Davis is reportedly more upright and no longer rests the bat on his shoulder, with the goal being to improve against high-spin and high-velocity pitches. While the Pirates remain optimistic about Davis' ability to develop as a hitter, the reality remains that he has hit just .181/.262/.294 across 660 plate appearances in the majors.

Jhostynxon Garcia PIT CFPirates' Jhostynxon Garcia: Impressing with glove
8h agoGarcia has impressed manager Don Kelly during fielding drills early in spring training, Kevin Gorman of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports.
Garcia has been a fairly well-regarded prospect due to his strong potential to hit for power, and he has displayed that ability during live batting practice early on in his tenure with Pittsburgh. However, with a retooled lineup, the Pirates' defensive outlook in the outfield has become a concern, so Garcia's abilities with the glove could be the key factor in his ability to earn playing time this season. He is competing for a roster spot this spring, with Jake Mangum being one of his primary competitors.

Felix Bautista BAL RPOrioles' Felix Bautista: No rush to pitch in 2026
9h agoThe Orioles aren't going to push Bautista (shoulder) to pitch in 2026, per MLB.com.
The hard-throwing right-hander is progressing well from right shoulder surgery in August of 2025 to repair a torn rotator cuff and torn labrum, but Baltimore has no intentions to rush Bautista back into the fray. His throwing progression will be worth monitoring, but the expectation remains that Bautista won't be much of a fantasy factor in 2026, if at all. Ryan Helsley signed a two-year contract with the O's in November and is all set to start the new season with a big opportunity to bounce back as the club's top closer, after limping to a 7.20 ERA through 20 regular-season innings with the Mets to finish last year.

Adolis Garcia PHI RFPhillies' Adolis Garcia: Candidate to hit cleanup
9h agoGarcia is a candidate to bat in the cleanup spot this season, per Cole Weintraub of NBC Sports Philadelphia.
The departure of Nick Castellanos, who was the club's primary cleanup batter a year ago, this offseason further increases Garcia's chances of beginning the new campaign as Philadelphia's No. 4 hitter. Garcia is lined up as the Phillies' top right fielder this spring, but he's turned in a sub-.700 OPS in consecutive seasons with the Rangers and enters 2026 as a late-round gamble in most fantasy leagues. That said, the prospect of batting behind All-Stars Trea Turner, Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper offers Garcia plenty of RBI upside this season.

Keshad Johnson MIA SFHeat's Keshad Johnson: Wins Slam Dunk Contest
11h agoJohnson defeated Carter Bryant in the final round of Saturday's 2026 AT&T Slam Dunk Contest.
Johnson scored 92.8 points in the first round and advanced to the final alongside Carter Bryant (94.8), beating Jaxson Hayes (91.8) and Jase Richardson (88.8). While Bryant delivered the only 50-point dunk of the night during the final round, Johnson impressed with two strong slams, totaling 97.4 points to Bryant's 93.0. Johnson becomes the third Heat player to win the contest, joining Derrick Jones (2020) and Harold Miner (1993, 1995).

12h agoBrunson and Team Knicks defeated Team Cameron in the final round of the 2026 NBA All-Star Shooting Stars event Saturday.
Joined by Karl-Anthony Towns and Allan Houston, Brunson and Team Knicks opened the contest with 31 points in the first round to advance to the final against Kon Knueppel, Jalen Johnson and Corey Maggette of Team Cameron.

Karl-Anthony Towns NY CKnicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Wins Shooting Stars event
12h agoTowns and Team Knicks defeated Team Cameron in the final round of the 2026 NBA All-Star Shooting Stars event Saturday.
Joined by Jalen Brunson and Allan Houston, Towns and his squad led the first round with 31 points to advance to the final against Team Cameron's Kon Knueppel, Jalen Johnson and Corey Maggette. Although Team Cameron opened the final round with 38 points, Team Knicks fired back with 47. Towns hit two of the team's five four-point shots en route to the victory. Towns and Brunson will now prepare to face off against one another in Sunday's Team World versus Team USA Stripes NBA All-Star Game.

Damian Lillard POR PGTrail Blazers' Damian Lillard: Wins 3-Point Contest
13h agoLillard (Achilles) defeated Devin Booker (ankle) and Kon Knueppel in the final round of Saturday's 2026 State Farm 3-Point Contest, taking home his third title.
After losing to Tyler Herro (ribs) in 2025, Lillard won his third 3-Point Contest in four years. He's now tied with Larry Bird and Craig Hodges for the most 3-Point Contest wins in NBA history. The star point guard posted 27 points in the first round and 29 in the second, when he beat Booker by two and Knueppel by 12. Lillard knocked down seven of his final 10 shots in Round 2 and made one shot from the logo. The 35-year-old is still recovering from a torn left Achilles tendon he sustained with the Bucks in the opening round of the playoffs last season, and he'll aim to return to action for Portland by the start of the 2026-27 campaign.

Keshon Gilbert WAS PGWizards' Keshon Gilbert: Back with parent club
15h agoThe Wizards recalled Gilbert from the G League's Capital City Go-Go on Friday.
Gilbert, who signed a 10-day pact with the Wizards on Feb. 6, joined Capital City for its 119-107 loss to the Greensboro Swarm on Thursday, during which he tallied 15 points (6-18 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven assists, six rebounds and two steals in 36 minutes. The 22-year-old guard's contract is set to expire before Thursday's game against Indiana, so he'll likely return to the Go-Go unless he lands a second 10-day deal.
-
Kadary Richmond WAS SGWizards' Kadary Richmond: Recalled to NBA
15h agoThe Wizards recalled Richmond from the G League's Capital City Go-Go on Friday.
Richmond, who signed a 10-day contract with Washington on Wednesday, joined the Go-Go for Thursday's 119-107 loss to the Greensboro Swarm, during which he posted 24 points (9-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, four assists and three steals in 36 minutes. His next opportunity to suit up for the Wizards will come Thursday against the Pacers.

Lukas Dostal ANA GDucks' Lukas Dostal: Slated to start Sunday
1h agoDostal is expected to start for Czechia against Switzerland on Sunday at the 2026 Winter Olympics.
Dostal stopped 31 of 36 shots en route to a 5-0 loss to Team Canada on Thursady. Czechia rebounded from that loss with a 6-3 victory over France on Friday, but Dostal wasn't in net for that match. Switzerland earned a 4-0 victory over France on Thursday, but the Swiss squad then suffered a 5-1 defeat to Canada on Friday. Dostal has a 21-13-2 record, 2.92 GAA and .897 save percentage in 38 outings with Anaheim in 2025-26.
-
Jett Luchanko PHI CFlyers' Jett Luchanko: Picking up steam
6h agoLuchanko scored a goal and added two assists in OHL Brantford's 4-2 win over Guelph on Saturday.
Luchanko has posted three straight multi-point efforts, following a stretch in which he was limited to two helpers in nine outings. The Flyers prospect has seven goals, 30 assists and a plus-12 rating over 32 appearances between Brantford and Guelph this season.
-
Dominic Toninato CHI CBlackhawks' Dominic Toninato: Four points in AHL win
6h agoToninato scored a goal and added three assists in AHL Rockford's 6-2 win over Milwaukee on Saturday.
Toninato has seven points over four outings in February. That's a surge for the forward, who has still been pretty good for the IceHogs with 12 goals and 34 points over 41 outings this season. Toninato could get a call-up later in the season for the Blackhawks if they need to replenish their forward depth.
-
Ben Jones MIN CWild's Ben Jones: Trio of assists in AHL loss
6h agoJones logged three assists in AHL Iowa's 8-6 loss to Springfield on Saturday.
Jones has two goals and eight helpers over his last six AHL outings. For the season, he's at 16 points in 15 outings for Iowa, as well as two points in 26 games for Minnesota at the NHL level. Jones would likely be considered for a call-up if the injury bug bites the Wild again.
-
Tyler Pitlick MIN CWild's Tyler Pitlick: Logs three points in AHL loss
6h agoPitlick scored twice and added an assist in AHL Iowa's 8-6 loss to Springfield on Saturday.
Pitlick has earned four points over two games since he returned to the AHL. He has eight points over seven contests with Iowa this season. The Wild's numerous injuries at the NHL level have kept Pitlick in a depth role for the big club for much of the campaign, but he's earned just two goals in 31 contests for Minnesota.
-
Matt Luff STL RWBlues' Matt Luff: Three-point game for Springfield
6h agoLuff scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Springfield's 8-6 win over Iowa on Saturday.
Luff has five points over his last two games. That follows a five-game slump, which was his worst dry spell of the campaign. He's at 14 goals, 24 helpers, 97 shots on net and a minus-10 rating through 39 appearances. Based on previous instances, Luff is near the top of the list for call-ups when the Blues need an extra forward.
