Jadarian Price 2005 RBSeahawks' Jadarian Price: Selected by Seattle
6h agoThe Seahawks selected Price in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 32nd overall.
If Jeremiyah Love was Notre Dame's Darren McFadden then Price was their Felix Jones, providing consistent big plays off the bench and as a kick returner. Price is not quite as athletic at 5-foot-11, 203 pounds as Jones was out of Arkansas, but the general theme of big plays off the bench is the deal with Price. The unclear early-season availability of Zach Charbonnet (ACL) gives room for Price to make an immediate impact, and upon Charbonnet's eventual return a long-term workload split can be expected between him and Price not unlike the split between Charbonnet and Kenneth Walker previously. Price also might displace Rashid Shaheed from the kick return unit after returning three of his 22 collegiate kick returns for touchdowns (36.1 yards per return).

Keldric Faulk 2005 EDGETitans' Keldric Faulk: Slide ends with Titans
6h agoThe Titans selected Faulk in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 31st overall.
Faulk (6-foot-6, 276 pounds) fell to Tennessee due to concerns that he's a 'tweener' who can't rush the edge sufficiently by defensive end standards yet is maybe too tall and/or light to fit at defensive tackle. The solution is simple enough: Faulk has the prototypical frame and skill set to line up in odd-man fronts, and in obvious passing situations he should be able to move inside if he proves unable to develop his edge-rushing game. Don't count out Faulk yet, though -- he's only 21 and his 4.68-second pro day 40 implies untapped developmental potential.

Omar Cooper Jr. 2005 WRJets' Omar Cooper: Selected by Jets
7h agoThe Jets selected Cooper in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 30th overall.
Cooper (6-feet, 199 pounds) was a productive player in his fourth season at Indiana, though less so in the prior three years. Cooper's 4.42-second 40-yard dash verified that he has real NFL speed to leverage his otherwise standout ability after the catch. The Jets pass-catcher rotation is suddenly somewhat crowded after adding Cooper and TE Kenyon Sadiq, so it's not clear how many targets will be left after Garrett Wilson and Adonai Mitchell get their reps.

Peter Woods 2005 DLChiefs' Peter Woods: Picked by Kansas City
7h agoThe Chiefs selected Woods in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 29th overall.
Woods (6-foot-3, 298 pounds) was a huge recruit for Clemson and provided quality play as a three-year starter, but it's difficult to find evidence of production and his ostensible utility as a two-gap run stuffer might not translate easily to the NFL given his light build, short arms and poor athletic testing. If Woods makes a positive impact with Kansas City it evidently might not show up in the box score, so he'll need to eat blocks.
-
Caleb Lomu 2005 OTPatriots' Caleb Lomu: Lands with Patriots
7h agoThe Patriots selected Lomu in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 28th overall.
Lomu (6-foot-6, 313 pounds) went much later than his Utah teammate Spencer Fano (ninth overall to Cleveland), yet it was actually Lomu who was the left tackle on the Utah offensive line (Fano played the right side). Landing with New England likely means Lomu will need to move to the right side -- Will Campbell is locked in on the left -- and on the right side Lomu might need a little bit of development time, if only to add some weight. In the meantime Lomu's finesse game is already convincing -- he's an excellent athlete (4.99-second 40, 32.5-inch vertical) and should fit in easily as a pass blocker.
-
Chris Johnson 2005 CBDolphins' Chris Johnson: Selected by Miami
7h agoThe Dolphins selected Johnson in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 27th overall.
Johnson (6-feet, 193 pounds) was a standout three-year starter on some good San Diego State pass defenses, demonstrating an NFL-caliber skill set in the process. Then Johnson verified at the combine that he has the wheels necessary for his game to translate to the NFL, logging a 4.44-second 40 along with a 126-inch broad jump. New Miami coach Jeff Hafley ran coverages with ambitious zone designs in Green Bay, and Johnson's schematic versatility between man and zone was likely a selling point.

Troy Johnston COL RFRockies' Troy Johnston: Wraps up solid homestand
1h agoJohnston went 3-for-4 with two RBI and a walk Thursday against the Padres.
johnston delivered a pair of RBI singles, which came in the second and seventh innings. He had at least one hit in five of seven games during Colorado's homestand that concluded Thursday, collecting five RBI and scoring twice. Johnston has also started nine straight games, splitting time between right field and first base.

Corey Seager TEX SSRangers' Corey Seager: Mashes homer in victory
3h agoSeager went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in a 6-1 victory versus the Pirates on Thursday.
Seager broke the game open in the fourth inning, belting a three-run shot to right field to give the Rangers a 6-0 lead. The veteran shortstop had been in the midst of a mini-slump coming into the contest, going just 1-for-15 at the plate with six strikeouts over his previous four games. Seager hasn't been hitting to his usual standard this season, slashing just .207/.317/.448 through 104 plate appearances, but he does have six homers, 16 RBI and 17 runs along with one stolen base.
-
Bubba Chandler PIT PPirates' Bubba Chandler: Struggles in worst start of season
3h agoChandler (1-2) took the loss against Texas on Thursday, allowing six runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out four batters over four innings.
Chandler got through two scoreless frames before giving up two runs in the third inning and four in the fourth. The final blow against him was a Corey Seager three-run homer, which was the second long ball Chandler allowed in the game. The right-hander's four frames and six runs allowed were both season-worst marks, and the poor outing pushed his ERA up from 3.15 to 4.88 through five starts. Chandler will look to get back on track in his next appearance, which is slated to be a home matchup against St. Louis.

Jacob deGrom TEX SPRangers' Jacob deGrom: Fans 10 in win Thursday
3h agoDeGrom (2-0) earned the victory over Pittsburgh on Thursday, allowing one run on five hits and one walk while striking out 10 batters over 5.2 innings.
DeGrom dominated for most of his outing, racking up 20 whiffs and a season-high 10 punchouts. The only blemish on his line was the result of an ONeil Cruz solo homer in the fifth inning. Fantasy managers who deployed deGrom will likely be celebrating this performance, though there is minor disappointment in the fact that he was pulled one out shy of a quality start despite having thrown a modest 89 pitches. Texas seems hesitant to allow the veteran hurler to push his pitch count too high -- he's topped out at 93 pitches this season and has thrown less than 80 in two of his five starts -- but deGrom has nonetheless been excellent to begin the campaign, posting a 2.13 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 35:7 K:BB through 25.1 innings.
-
Tristan Gray MIN SSTwins' Tristan Gray: Slugs third homer
3h agoGray went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Thursday's loss to the Mets.
Gray swatted a solo shot to right-center field in the sixth inning and added a run-scoring single in the ninth. This was his first start in Minnesota's past three games, which coincides with the return of Royce Lewis to the lineup following a stint on the injured list. Gray doesn't seem to be in line for an everyday role, but he's been a pleasant surprise for the Twins early in the campaign, slashing .268/.311/.512 with three homers, 13 RBI and five runs through 46 plate appearances.
-
Ryan Jeffers MIN CTwins' Ryan Jeffers: Knocks grand slam Thursday
3h agoJeffers went 1-for-4 with a grand slam and two walks in a loss to the Mets on Thursday.
Jeffers came up with a clutch hit in the top of the eighth inning, belting a grand slam to left field to tie the score 7-7. Minnesota eventually went on to lose the game, but it was a big moment for the backstop, who had just two hits over his previous 19 at-bats prior to the homer. On the season, Jeffers is slashing .267/.405/.483 with three long balls, 16 RBI, 12 runs and a 13:14 BB:K through 74 plate appearances.

Naz Reid MIN CTimberwolves' Naz Reid: Quiet in Game 3 win
3h agoReid racked up five points (2-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt), six rebounds and two assists across 18 minutes during Thursday's 113-96 victory over the Nuggets in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Reid scored no more than five points for the second time in the past three games, continuing what has been a somewhat quiet series. Through three appearances, he has averaged just 7.0 points, 6.0 rebounds and 1.0 three-pointers. The two teams will meet again in Minnesota on Saturday, when the Timberwolves will look to put a stranglehold on the series.
-
Jaden McDaniels MIN SFTimberwolves' Jaden McDaniels: Double-doubles in win
3h agoMcDaniels supplied 20 points (9-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal across 41 minutes during Thursday's 113-96 win over the Nuggets in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
McDaniels recorded his first double-double of the season, and it couldn't come at a better time for Minnesota, which now leads the series 2-1. With two consecutive victories, the Timberwolves will look to extend the series lead, with McDaniels' productivity likely to play a key role once again.
-
Ayo Dosunmu MIN PGTimberwolves' Ayo Dosunmu: Drops team-high 25 points
3h agoDosunmu ended with 25 points (10-15 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds and nine assists over 32 minutes during Thursday's 113-96 win over the Nuggets in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Dosunmu earned his keep in the win, scoring a team-high 25 points and powering Minnesota to an important home victory. Despite continuing to come off the bench, Dosunmu has been a key piece for the Timberwolves ever since being acquired in a trade with the Bulls. Now leading the series 2-1, Minnesota will look to build on that advantage when the two teams meet again on Saturday.
-
Cameron Johnson DEN SFNuggets' Cameron Johnson: Only six points in Game 3 loss
3h agoJohnson produced six points (2-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal over 24 minutes during Thursday's 113-96 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Johnson couldn't get anything going on the offensive end, although he was certainly not alone, as Denver was soundly beaten by Minnesota on the road. On the whole, it's been a mediocre season for Johnson, who is averaging just 12.1 points and 2.0 three-pointers in 57 total appearances.
-
Christian Braun DEN SGNuggets' Christian Braun: Underwhelms in Game 3 loss
3h agoBraun racked up two points (0-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT), two rebounds and one block over 24 minutes during Thursday's 113-96 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
After a relatively strong start to the series, Braun came up empty Thursday, contributing to what was an ugly loss on the road. After winning the first game at home, Denver has now lost back-to-back games, handing Minnesota the upper hand. Game 4 will take place in Minnesota on Saturday, when Braun may need to increase his production if Denver hopes to avoid a 3-1 deficit.
-
Jakob Poeltl TOR CRaptors' Jakob Poeltl: Muted role continues
3h agoPoeltl closed Thursday's 126-104 victory over Cleveland in Game 3 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs with eight points (4-6 FG), six rebounds, two assists and one block across 18 minutes.
Poeltl continues to play limited minutes, resulting in what can only be described as modest production. Through three games, Poeltl has averaged just 4.7 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.0 blocks per game. Despite Cleveland running with a sizeable lineup, Poeltl's apparent limitations have forced Toronto to counter with some small-ball looks.
-
Eric Robinson CAR LWHurricanes' Eric Robinson: Picks up helper in win
3h agoRobinson notched an assist and two hits in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Senators in Game 3.
Robinson has played in all three playoff games so far, though he could get swapped out for Nicolas Deslauriers if the Hurricanes want more toughness later on. This helper ended a 13-game point drought for Robinson. The winger picked up 18 points, 84 shots on net, 90 hits and a plus-7 rating over 67 regular-season contests. He's in his third career playoff run, having collected just four points across 25 games over the previous two postseasons he participated in.
-
Taylor Hall CAR LWHurricanes' Taylor Hall: Dishes two helpers in Game 3 win
3h agoHall logged two assists, three shots on goal, two hits, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Senators in Game 3.
Hall is rolling this postseason with a goal, four assists, 12 shots on net, five hits and a plus-4 rating over three games. He's found a home on the second line in the playoffs, which gives him a decent chance of continuing his success. The winger had 48 points, 137 shots on net and 53 hits across 80 regular-season outings. Hall is in the playoffs for the seventh time in his career -- over the previous six runs, he logged 35 points across 54 games.
-
Nick Cousins OTT CSenators' Nick Cousins: Gathers helper Thursday
3h agoCousins notched an assist and five hits in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Hurricanes in Game 3.
Goals have been hard to find for the Senators -- they're getting outscored 7-3 over three games in this first-round series. Cousins has gone 13 contests without scoring, picking up three helpers in that span. He's a veteran of 68 playoff games prior to this year, in which he earned 15 points over seven separate postseason runs. Cousins had 23 points, 79 shots on net, 92 PIM, 169 hits and 41 blocked shots over 81 regular-season outings this year.
-
Alex Laferriere LA RWKings' Alex Laferriere: Helps out on both goals in loss
3h agoLaferriere registered two assists, six shots on goal and two hits in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Avalanche in Game 3.
Laferriere has done alright with three helpers (two on the power play), 14 shots, 12 hits and a minus-2 rating over three contests in this first-round series. That gives him involvement in three of the Kings' four goals. This is his third taste of postseason action -- he logged five points across 11 games over each of the last two playoff runs, though Laferriere is on the verge of going 0-for-3 in getting out of the first round in his young career.
-
Trevor Moore LA LWKings' Trevor Moore: Deposits goal in loss
3h agoMoore scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Avalanche in Game 3.
This was Moore's first goal and second point over three games this postseason. He's added eight shots on net, five hits and a minus-1 rating, serving as an effective middle-six winger despite the Kings being down 3-0 in the series. In his previous playoff experience, he collected 14 points in 31 appearances over five separate postseason runs.
-
Adrian Kempe LA RWKings' Adrian Kempe: Pots power-play goal
3h agoKempe scored a power-play goal on two shots and went minus-3 in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Avalanche in Game 3.
Kempe has had trouble this postseason, as this was his first goal in three playoff games. He's added five shots on net, three hits, four PIM and a minus-3 rating. The Kings are facing elimination as soon as Sunday's Game 4, so they'll need more out of their top players. In previous playoff runs, Kempe collected 15 goals and 29 points across 28 appearances. Barring a miracle, this will be the fifth straight year with a first-round exit for the Kings.
