Jaden Hicks KC DBChiefs' Jaden Hicks: Picks off three passes in 2024
38m agoHicks recorded 29 tackles (23 solo) and five pass breakups, including three interceptions, in 17 regular-season games this season.
The rookie saw his defensive snap count increase as the season went on, and he also recorded 13 tackles (10 solo) in Kansas City's three playoff games. Hicks played on 312 defensive snaps and 305 special-teams snaps during the regular season, and he will look to continue increasing that defensive workload in 2025.

Tershawn Wharton KC DTChiefs' Tershawn Wharton: Sets multiple career highs
1h agoWharton finished with career highs in tackles (29), sacks (6.5) and pass breakups (two) during the 2024 regular season.
The defensive tackle also played in all 17 regular-season games and in all three of Kansas City's playoff contests. Wharton has played on one-year deals in each of the last two seasons, though he started 12 times in 2024 between the regular season and playoffs, the first season in his career in which he started more than once. The career Chief will be an unrestricted free agent come March.

Jaylen Watson KC CBChiefs' Jaylen Watson: Contributes in limited action
1h agoWatson only played in six regular-season games in 2024, but he finished with 32 tackles (21 solo) and six pass breakups.
The cornerback missed the last 11 games of the regular season with a fractured fibula-tibia, but he returned for the playoffs and recorded five tackles (four solo) and a pass defensed across three games. Watson also started six games as a rookie in 2022 and two more in 2023, but this was the first regular season in which he started every game he played in. The seventh-round pick in 2022 is entering the final year of his rookie deal.

Joshua Williams KC CBChiefs' Josh Williams: Splits time again this season
1h agoWilliams played on 393 defensive snaps and on 220 special-teams snaps during the 2024 regular season, recording 33 tackles (19 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and six pass breakups.
The 2022 fourth-round pick's snap counts were similar the last two years: 312 on defense and 303 on special teams in 2023 and 414 on defense and 215 on special teams in 2022. Williams was believed to have a chance at starting opposite Trent McDuffie going into the 2024 campaign, but Jaylen Watson ended up taking over that role. Williams is entering the final year of his rookie contract in 2025.

Christian Roland-Wallace KC CBChiefs' Christian Roland-Wallace: Finds special-teams role in 2024
2h agoRoland-Wallace recorded 34 tackles (23 solo), an interception and a forced fumble in 17 regular-season games this season.
The cornerback played on 248 special-teams snaps and on 183 defensive snaps during the regular season. He played almost exclusively on special teams in the postseason. Roland-Wallace signed a three-year, $2.84-million contract with the Chiefs last May and will try to find a role again in 2025.
-
George Karlaftis KC DEChiefs' George Karlaftis: Gets after QB again in 2024
2h agoKarlaftis recorded 35 tackles (21 solo), including 8.0 sacks, and five passes defensed in 16 games during the regular season.
The defensive end added 13 tackles (nine solo), including 4.0 sacks, over Kansas City's three playoff games. Karlaftis finished with 10.5 sacks during the 2023 regular season and 6.0 as a rookie in 2022. The 2022 first-round pick also played on more than 700 defensive snaps in 2024 for the third year in a row.

David Hensley MIA RFTigers' David Hensley: Reaches deal with Detroit
1h agoHensley signed a minor-league deal with the Tigers on Thursday that includes an invitation to spring training, Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Hensley has served as organizational depth throughout his career, though he does have at least 30 plate appearances in the majors in each of the last three seasons. He's unlikely to land a big-league roster spot out of spring training.
-
Luis Garcia BOS RPDodgers' Luis Garcia: Signs with Dodgers
1h agoGarcia signed a minor-league contract with the Dodgers on Thursday that includes an invitation to spring training, Aram Leighton of JustBaseball.com reports.
Garcia split the 2024 season between the Angels and Red Sox and struggled to a 4.88 ERA and 1.29 WHIP across 59 innings. He still maintained a solid 53:15 K:BB so there is some hope for a bounceback, though he'll have to fight for a roster spot in a loaded Dodgers' bullpen.
-
Joey Gallo WAS 1BWhite Sox's Joey Gallo: Links up with White Sox
1h agoGallo signed a minor-league deal with the White Sox on Thursday that includes an invitation to spring training.
Gallo has a skills profile that has produced extreme results throughout his career, but he's struck out at least 39 percent of the time in each of the last three seasons. He's still capable of producing plenty of power, exhibited by ISO marks of at least .175 in the same three-year span. Gallo now finds his way to a roster that has plenty of opportunity, with his best chance for playing time seemingly coming in right field or at designated hitter.

Jace Jung DET 2BTigers' Jace Jung: Clearer path to roster spot
2h agoWith free agent Alex Bregman passing up the Tigers to sign with the Red Sox, Jung (wrist) should have a clearer path to time at third base, though Matt Vierling likely remains the top option there Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.
Jung may have been pushed to the minors if Bregman had joined the team, but the former now has a clearer path to making the roster and having a meaningful role. Vierling is likely still the top option at the hot corner, though he can also play the outfield. Vierling also bats from the right side while Jung is left handed. That leaves the two players as potential platoon mates, and the 24-year-old Jung could emerge as a fantasy contributor in his second MLB season. He did undergo minor wrist surgery in December but should be good to go for spring training.

Matt Vierling DET RFTigers' Matt Vierling: Gets more job security
2h agoWith free agent Alex Bregman passing up the Tigers to sign with the Red Sox, Vierling should have a clearer path to regular starts at third base, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.
If Bregman had joined Detroit, he likely would have played most days at the hot corner, pushing Vierling to a bench role. However, Vierling should now slot in as a primary option at third, though left-hand hitting Jace Jung figures to be in the mix too. On days when Jung enters the lineup, Vierling could slide to the outfield. This makes the veteran's 2025 fantasy outlook similar to 2024, when he slashed .257/.312/.423 with 16 home runs across 144 regular-season games.

Porter Hodge CHC SPCubs' Porter Hodge: Should still see save opportunities
2h agoThough veteran newcomer Ryan Pressly figures to be Chicago's nominal closer, Hodge should still see save opportunities this season, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.
This aligns with previous rumblings that Hodge would still be in the mix for saves even with Pressly joining the Cubs via trade. It remains to be seen how exactly duties will be split up, and Pressly is probably the top Chicago reliever to target at the moment, but Hodge should remain on the fantasy radar heading into the season. The 24-year-old impressed as a rookie last year, posting a 1.88 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 52 strikeouts across 43 innings to go along with nine saves.

Chuma Okeke PHI PFChuma Okeke: Let go by Philadelphia
1h agoThe 76ers waived Okeke from his 10-day contract Thursday, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.
The Sixers will waive the 26-year-old after converting Jared Butler's two-way contract into a standard deal. Okeke appeared in only one contest during his 10-day contract, recording one rebound across two minutes in a loss to Detroit on Feb. 7. Okeke averaged 16.4 points, 8.3 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.5 blocks across 36.7 minutes per contest in 33 outings with the G League's Westchester Knicks before latching on with Philadelphia. It wouldn't be surprising to see the Auburn product return to the G League during the 2024-25 campaign.

Kyle Filipowski UTA CJazz's Kyle Filipowski: Starting vs. LAC
1h agoFilipowski is starting Thursday's game against the Clippers, independent NBA writer Justin Russo reports.
Filipowski will get a chance to start while the Jazz deal with a multitude of injuries. He fared well in his last start Saturday, also against the Clippers, totaling 13 points, eight rebounds and five assists in 29 minutes.
-
Svi Mykhailiuk UTA SGJazz's Svi Mykhailiuk: Starting sans Clarkson
1h agoMykhailiuk will start in Thursday's game against the Clippers, independent NBA writer Justin Russo reports.
The 27-year-old will receive the starting nod with Jordan Clarkson (foot) on the shelf. Mykhailiuk has received two DNPs due to a coach's decision over his last five outings on the active roster, though he started in the other three, averaging 9.7 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.3 assists across 24.3 minutes per game.
-
Derrick Jones Jr. LAC SFClippers' Derrick Jones: Back with first unit
1h agoJones is starting Thursday's game against the Jazz, independent NBA writer Justin Russo reports.
Jones came off the bench Wednesday but will slot back in with the first unit Thursday due to the absence of Kawhi Leonard (knee). The UNLV product is averaging 13.1 points, 5.2 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.1 steals in his last 10 opportunities as a starter.
-
Maxwell Lewis BKN SFNets' Maxwell Lewis: Makes garbage-time cameo
1h agoLewis (tibia) played the final 27 seconds of Wednesday's 102-96 win over the 76ers, recording no statistics during his time on the court.
Lewis returned to action after fracturing his left tibia in his Nets debut in a Jan. 1 loss to the Raptors. Though he's healthy again, the second-year forward is expected to find himself outside of the Brooklyn rotation more often than not.
-
Amir Coffey LAC SFClippers' Amir Coffey: Won't face Utah on Thursday
1h agoCoffey (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Jazz, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
Coffey will miss just his second contest of the season Thursday due to left knee soreness. His next chance to play will come next Thursday against the Bucks. With the 27-year-old sidelined, Kris Dunn and Bogdan Bogdanovic could see a bump in minutes.
-
Adam Jiricek STL DBlues' Adam Jiricek: Doing fine in junior ranks
2h agoJiricek has nine points over 18 games with OHL Brantford this season.
Per Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic, Jiricek missed time after being assigned to Brantford due to an undisclosed injury. He then left the club to play for Czechia at the World Junior Championship, where he had five assists over seven contests. It's important to remember that Jiricek is unlikely to become a significant scoring force once he reaches the NHL, so his fantasy value will be limited to formats that reward non-scoring production. While he is a first-round pick (16th overall in 2024), his playing style makes him a questionable option in dynasty, where higher-scoring prospects should be targeted first.
-
Anton Wahlberg BUF C
Sabres' Anton Wahlberg: Showing potential in minors
7h agoWahlberg registered two assists Tuesday to extend his AHL scoring streak to three games.
Wahlberg has a goal and five points over that three-game stretch. That brings him up to eight goals and 18 points in 36 appearances with Rochester this campaign after recording a goal and four points in nine AHL regular-season outings in 2023-24. The 19-year-old is a big presence at 6-foot-3 and has the potential to eventually become a solid two-way center for the Sabres, perhaps primarily on the team's third line. However, it might be a couple of years before he reaches that level.
-
Shea Theodore LV DGolden Knights' Shea Theodore: Week-to-week
10h agoTheodore (arm) is week-to-week after he was injured early in the second period versus Sweden on Wednesday, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
Theodore took a big hit into the boards, courtesy of Adrian Kempe, and did not return. It is a huge blow for Team Canada as well as the Golden Knights, who will be without their star defenseman when the season starts up again Feb. 22. Theodore has seven goals and 41 assists across 55 appearances this season. Travis Sanheim will enter Team Canada's lineup replacing Theodore on Saturday versus the United States.
-
Matthew Savoie EDM C
Oilers' Matthew Savoie: Knocking on the door
11h agoSavoie has been lighting it up at the AHL level of late with 22 points in his last 20 games, Jim Matheson of the Edmonton Journal reports.
Savoie was acquired from Buffalo on July 5 for Ryan McLeod and Tyler Tullio. Savoie was selected ninth overall in 2022 by the Sabres, who gave up quickly on the prospect. In his rookie season, Savoie has 12 goals and 22 assists in 43 AHL games in 2024-25.
-
Oliver Bonk PHI D
Flyers' Oliver Bonk: Playing well in OHL
11h agoBonk has eight goals and 29 points in 36 OHL games this season.
Bonk was selected 22nd overall in the 2023 Draft. The London blueliner had 24 goals and 67 points in 60 OHL regular-season games in 2023-24, and followed up with seven goals and 16 points in 18 playoff games. Bonk has played the last two seasons with Canada at the World U20 Championships, picking up a goal and an assist in five games at the 2025 tourney.

Joel Eriksson Ek MIN CWild's Joel Eriksson Ek: Clutch goal at 4 Nations Face Off
21h agoEriksson Ek scored a goal Thursday in a 4-3 overtime loss to Canada at the 4 Nations Face-Off.
Eriksson Ek roofed the puck into the net after settled a cross-crease pass from Jesper Bratt around the midpoint of the third period. It tied the game and forced overtime. He came into the contest on a four-game point drought. Eriksson Ek's production this year has been held back by injury -- he has just nine goals and 14 assists in 41 games, a far cry from his two 60-plus point campaigns in 2022-23 and 2023-24.
