DJ Moore BUF WRBills' DJ Moore: Settling in as Allen's top target
8h agoQuarterback Josh Allen said in late June that Moore has been "a pretty seamless fit" and is "going to be a huge help" for Buffalo's offense in 2026, Nick Shook of NFL.com reports.
Moore was acquired by the Bills from Chicago in March for a second-round pick, and the 29-year-old veteran steps into a new wide receiver room alongside Khalil Shakir to provide Allen a true proven No. 1 receiver for the first time since Stefon Diggs' departure back in 2024. Catching passes from one of the NFL's premier quarterbacks will aid Moore as he looks to bounce back from a down 2025 season with the Bears, in which he totaled a career-worst 50-682-6 receiving line despite suiting up for all 17 regular-season games. Moore faces less competition for targets in Buffalo, as behind Shakir and tight end Dalton Kincaid, the likes of Joshua Palmer, Keon Coleman and Skyler Bell fill out the team's receiver corps. If Moore can demonstrate that he hasn't lost a step at age 29, he'll be in position to bounce back in 2026 even if his best days are behind him.

Malik Benson LV WRRaiders' Malik Benson: Impressing early
13h agoBenson turned heads during the Raiders' mandatory minicamp, Levi Edwards of the team's official site reports.
Edwards identified Benson as one of the biggest standouts of the Raiders' offseason program, noting that the rookie connected with multiple quarterbacks on deep passes during practices open to the media. The sixth-round pick enters training camp in what Ryan McFadden of ESPN reports to be an open competition at wide receiver, and his speed and ability to stretch the field could help him carve out a role if he builds on that momentum. Tre Tucker, Jalen Nailor, Jack Bech and Dont'e Thornton represent Benson's main competition for snaps.

Ricky Pearsall SF WR49ers' Ricky Pearsall: Poised to start opposite Evans
14h agoPearsall is expected to enter training camp as San Francisco's starting wide receiver opposite Mike Evans, Kyle Madson of USA Today reports.
Pearsall is positioned for a significant role after injuries limited him to nine regular-season appearances in 2025. With Jauan Jennings having signed with the Vikings and Brandon Aiyuk seemingly out of the picture, the 25-year-old clearly projects as Brock Purdy's No. 2 wide receiver behind Evans. Christian Kirk is expected to handle slot duties, while rookie second-round pick De'Zhaun Stribling and Demarcus Robinson provide depth, but it's Pearsall and Evans who project to see the field in 21 personnel sets, which the 49ers deployed at a league-high rate in 2025. A healthy season would position Pearsall for the biggest workload of his NFL career.

Isiah Pacheco DET RBLions' Isiah Pacheco: Embracing complementary role
14h agoPacheco appears locked into Detroit's No. 2 running back role behind Jahmyr Gibbs as training camp approaches, Ben Raven of MLive reports.
Running backs coach Tashard Choice has challenged Pacheco during spring activities to "love every possession," emphasizing the importance of maximizing a complementary workload behind Gibbs rather than focusing on snap counts. After injuries slowed Pacheco over the past two seasons in Kansas City, the 27-year-old is embracing his new opportunities and is expected to play a key role in Detroit's backfield. While Gibbs remains the Lions' clear workhorse, Pacheco's physical running style should earn him steady touches and give him significant fantasy upside if he's forced into a larger workload. Sione Vaki is also in the mix for reps behind Gibbs.

Mike Gesicki CIN TEBengals' Mike Gesicki: Back for Year 3 with Bengals
15h agoAs the coming season approaches, Gesicki profiles as the main receiving option in a Bengals tight end corps that also features Drew Sample, who makes most of his impact as an inline blocker, John Sheeran of A to Z Sports reports.
Also competing for TE slotting are Erick All (knee), Tanner Hudson, Jack Endries, Cam Grandy and Josh Kattus. Gesicki saw his production drop last season to 28 catches (on 42 targets) for 307 yards and two TDs in 13 regular-season games, down from the 65-665-2 line he posted in 2024, his first year with Cincinnati. Four missed games of his own, along with injuries limiting star QB Joe Burrow to eight regular-season appearances in 2025, didn't help Gesicki's cause, but with Noah Fant (34 catches on 41 targets) no longer in the mix, Gesicki has a chance to rebound as a secondary target with some streaming utility in a 2026 passing attack that will continue to lean heavily on WRs Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, as well as RB Chase Brown.

Eli Heidenreich PIT RBSteelers' Eli Heidenreich: Works mostly at RB during OTAs
1d agoHeidenreich, who is currently listed as both a running back and wide receiver on the Steelers' official website, "overwhelmingly lined up in the backfield" in team drills and worked mostly with the running backs for individual drills during OTAs, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.
Heidenreich excelled as both a wideout and running back in college with Navy, and Steelers running backs coach Ramon Chinyoung Sr. has fittingly referred to the rookie as a "Swiss Navy knife." That seemingly boosts Heidenreich's chances of making the opening 53-man roster, but DeFabo still sees the seventh-round draft pick as more likely to begin his NFL career on the practice squad. Still, Heidenreich is an intriguing young player due to his unique skill set, which also includes the ability to return kicks. Should Pittsburgh decide to open up the playbook more, Heidenreich could fit in as a change-of-pace weapon, though he's probably going to need to prove capable in pass protection -- something he was rarely asked to do while at Navy.

Colby Thomas ATH RFAthletics' Colby Thomas: Posts steal in loss
13m agoThomas went 1-for-3 with one RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Angels.
Thomas' steal was his first of the campaign. The outfielder has largely filled a depth role this season. Prior to Saturday, he went 0-for-16 with seven strikeouts across his previous nine games, so he hasn't done much at all to make a case for more playing time. He's batting .211 with a .577 OPS, two home runs, seven RBI, eight runs scored and two doubles over 76 plate appearances.
-
Jonah Heim ATH CAthletics' Jonah Heim: Goes deep in loss
15m agoHeim went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Angels.
Six of Heim's seven homers this year have come over his last 18 games. He's batting .308 (16-for-52) with 12 RBI in that span. For the season, the catcher is hitting .246 with an .811 OPS, 20 RBI, 17 runs scored, nine doubles and no stolen bases over 39 contests between the Athletics and Atlanta. Heim continues to fill the backup role behind Shea Langeliers, though his steady hitting of late has helped Heim get more looks as the designated hitter.

Ryan Gusto MIA SPMarlins' Ryan Gusto: Looks good in another short start
16m agoGusto surrendered three hits and issued one walk while striking out four batters over 3.1 scoreless innings in a no-decision against St. Louis on Saturday.
Gusto continues to be held to a throttled workload -- over five starts, he's yet to complete more than 4.2 innings and has gone beyond 70 pitches just once. Though the right-hander was limited to 63 pitches Saturday, he pitched quite well, throwing 41 of those offerings for strikes and limiting the Cardinals to three singles, a hit-by-pitch and a walk. Gusto was rocked for five runs over 4.2 frames against Philadelphia on June 15, but he's rebounded nicely by giving up just one run across 7.2 innings while registering a 10:3 K:BB over his subsequent two starts. That should earn him continued turns in the rotation -- at least until Janson Junk (shin) is ready to return -- but Gusto's fantasy value will be limited until he's able to start pitching deeper into games.
-
Jack Perkins ATH RPAthletics' Jack Perkins: Takes four straight no-decision
18m agoPerkins allowed two runs on four hits, one walk and one hit batsman while striking out five over five innings in a no-decision versus the Angels on Saturday.
Perkins came away with a fourth straight no-decision. This was his best outing of the span -- he's allowed 12 runs over 19 innings over those games, and he's added a 23:8 K:BB. Overall, Perkins is at a 6.00 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 62:17 K:BB across 51 innings through 22 games (five starts). He's tentatively projected to make his next start at home versus the Marlins.
-
Joshua Lowe LAA LFAngels' Josh Lowe: Picks up second steal
21m agoLowe went 1-for-3 with a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Athletics.
This was his second steal of the season. Lowe has gone 4-for-10, albeit with three strikeouts, over three games since he rejoined the Angels' big-league roster. Lowe stayed on the roster when Jose Siri (paternity) was activated Saturday, as Christian Moore was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake instead. Lowe is now batting .200 with a .564 OPS, five home runs, 14 RBI, nine runs scored and two doubles over 144 plate appearances in the majors this season. He'll likely have the chance to stay with the big club until Mike Trout (hamstring) is ready to return.
-
Kirby Yates LAA RPAngels' Kirby Yates: Nabs second save
24m agoYates struck out one in a perfect inning to earn the save in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Athletics.
This was just the second save of the year for Yates. He has improved lately, allowing just one unearned run with a 12:2 K:BB over his last 7.1 innings. Overall, he's at a 3.06 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 25:7 K:BB through 17.2 innings. Yates is part of a closing committee for the Angels, though the team's overall poor performance leaves little value to gain from chasing saves in this bullpen.

Vladislav Goldin MIA CHeat's Vladislav Goldin: Extended two-way QO by Miami
9h agoThe Heat extended a two-way qualifying offer to Goldin on Saturday, according to Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald.
Goldin is now guaranteed a two-way contract salary from Miami this season, although he could still accept a standard deal from another team. Goldin logged a total of 24 minutes for the Heat last season, compiling seven points, nine rebounds, three assists and three blocks.

Tyrese Haliburton IND PGPacers' Tyrese Haliburton: Says he's feeling great
9h agoHaliburton said Saturday that he feels "great," Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.
"I feel great. Body feels great. I'm able to do everything," Haliburton said. "I feel like I'm operating like I'm a healthy NBA player -- for the first time in a long time, which is exciting." Haliburton missed the entire 2025-26 season after tearing his Achilles tendon seven minutes into Game 7 of the 2025 NBA Finals, but he's been participating in 5-on-5 work since April and no longer appears to have any restrictions. Still, it wouldn't be surprising if the Pacers managed his workload early in training camp and the preseason.
-
Ron Harper Jr. BOS SFCeltics' Ron Harper: Intends to ink deal with BOS
12h agoHarper is expected to sign a three-year, $9 million deal with the Celtics, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
The Celtics are declining Harper's $2.6 million team option for the 2026-27 season so that they can sign him to a new three-year deal. Harper appeared in 29 regular-season games (three starts) for Boston last season, averaging 4.2 points, 1.7 rebounds and 1.0 three-pointer per contest.
-
Leonard Miller CHI SFBulls' Leonard Miller: To remain in Chicago
15h agoThe Bulls picked up their $2.4 million team option for Miller on Saturday, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
Miller played well after getting traded to Chicago last season, churning out regular-season averages of 11.7 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.1 triples per contest on 56/36/76 shooting splits. However, with the additions of Dailyn Swain and Caleb Wilson, it could be tough for Miller to find meaningful minutes in the rotation when the team is healthy.

Jaylen Clark MIN SGTimberwolves' Jaylen Clark: To re-sign with Minnesota
1d agoClark will sign a three-year, $10 million contract with the Timberwolves, Chris Hine of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports Friday.
The defensive-minded wing will re-sign with Minnesota after spending the first two years of his career with the club. He saw relatively consistent minutes before the Timberwolves traded for Ayo Dosunmu last season, though Clark could have a clearer path to consistent playing time in 2026-27 due to Naz Reid and Julius Randle no longer being in the picture. In addition, Donte DiVincenzo is expected to miss most, if not all, of the season after rupturing his Achilles in the first round of the playoffs. Over 68 regular-season appearances (one start) last season, Clark averaged 4.0 points, 1.8 rebounds and 0.7 steals in 13.1 minutes per game.
-
Isaiah Hartenstein OKC CThunder's Isaiah Hartenstein: Plans to re-sign with OKC
1d agoHartenstein intends to sign a three-year, $75 million contract with the Thunder, Shams Charania of ESPN reports Friday.
Hartenstein will return to the Thunder after spending the last two years in Oklahoma City. The big man was a key piece in the team's championship run in 2025, and he figures to continue operating in a starting role next season. Over 47 regular-season appearances (46 starts) in 2025-26, he averaged 9.2 points, 9.4 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.8 combined steals-plus-blocks in 24.2 minutes per contest.

Kyle Masters CAR DDucks' Kyle Masters: Dealt at 2026 NHL Draft
9h agoAnaheim acquired Masters and the No. 192 pick in the 2026 NHL Entry Draft from Carolina on Saturday in exchange for the rights to John Carlson.
Masters had three assists in 10 regular-season appearances for ECHL Wichita in 2025-26. The 23-year-old is eligible for restricted free agency this summer. The Ducks selected Noah Kosick with the No. 192 selection to close out the sixth round of the 2026 NHL Entry Draft.
-
Fabian Lysell BOS RWAvalanche's Fabian Lysell: Gets change of scenery
9h agoLysell was acquired by Colorado from Boston on Saturday in exchange for Ivan Ivan.
Lysell had 17 goals, 42 points and 51 PIM in 57 regular-season outings with AHL Providence in 2025-26. Despite being the No. 21 overall pick in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft, Lysell has appeared in just 12 career regular-season NHL games. Perhaps a fresh start with a new organization will benefit the 23-year-old.
-
John Carlson ANA DHurricanes' John Carlson: Rights acquired in trade
9h agoCarolina acquired Carlson from Anaheim on Saturday in exchange for Kyle Masters and pick No. 192 in the 2026 NHL Entry Draft.
Carlson is eligible for unrestricted free agency Wednesday, which doesn't give the Hurricanes much of an exclusive negotiating window. He compiled 14 goals and 60 points in 71 regular-season games between Anaheim and Washington in 2025-26. He also earned six assists in 12 outings for the Ducks during the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Ivan Ivan COL C
Bruins' Ivan Ivan: Traded Saturday
9h agoIvan was acquired by Boston from Colorado on Saturday in exchange for Fabian Lysell.
Ivan had an assist in nine regular-season appearances with the Avalanche in 2025-26. While he didn't play much at the top level in 2025-26, he got plenty of work with AHL Colorado, recording 11 goals, 26 points and 40 PIM in 66 regular-season games before contributing three goals and 15 points in 17 playoff appearances. The 23-year-old is likely to start the upcoming campaign in the minors.
-
Zack Ostapchuk SJ CSharks' Zack Ostapchuk: Signs four-year extension
11h agoOstapchuk signed a four-year, $9.4 million contract with San Jose on Saturday.
Ostapchuk set career bests with four goals and seven points in 59 games during the 2025-26 campaign. He also delivered a 51.6 faceoff win percentage. Ostapchuk is best known for his grit, recording 140 hits and averaging 2.92 blocked shots per 60 minutes. He will continue to provide the Sharks with a bottom-six edge in 2026-27.
-
Massimo Rizzo PHI C
Rangers' Massimo Rizzo: Going to Broadway in trade
12h agoThe Rangers acquired Rizzo and the No. 148 pick in the 2026 NHL Entry Draft from Nashville on Saturday in exchange for Adam Edstrom.
Rizzo has been traded three times in a span of three-and-a-half months. He went from Philadelphia to Boston on March 6 and was then moved to Nashville six days later. Rizzo appeared in 14 AHL games between Providence and Milwaukee last regular season, supplying two goals and three assists. He also recorded 22 points (six goals, 16 assists) in 29 games for ECHL Reading in the 2025-26 regular season. He's a depth move for the Rangers' system.
