  • Josiah Deguara GB TE
    Jaguars' Josiah Deguara: Inking with Jacksonville
    1h ago

    The Jaguars are slated to sign Deguara to a one-year contract, Jordan Schultz of BleacherReport.com reports.

    Deguara spent the last four seasons handling a depth role in Green Bay, where he was drafted in the third round back in 2020. His versatility both as a blocker and on special teams will boost his chances of earning playing time behind Evan Engram, but Deguara peaked with a 25-245-2 receiving line in 2021 and doesn't appear to have much fantasy potential.

    J.K. Dobbins: Lines up AFC West visit
    3h ago

    Dobbins (Achilles) is visiting the Chargers on Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Dobbins, who was recently medically cleared for football activities, is coming off a left Achilles tear after previously missing all of 2021 and about half of the 2022 season due to a torn ACL and proceeding issues. That medical history undercuts otherwise impressive career numbers for Dobbins, who has averaged 5.8 yards per carry and scored 13 touchdowns since entering the NFL in 2020 as a second-round pick by the Ravens, but only suited up for 24 games in that span. Reuniting with offensive coordinator Greg Roman could make the most sense as a landing spot for Dobbins, but it's possible he doesn't garner more interest than a potential prove-it deal. The Chargers signed Gus Edwards,a former Baltimore backfield mate of Dobbins, early in free agency.

    Texans' Derek Stingley: Slow start, strong finish
    3h ago

    Stingley recorded 39 tackles, 13 passes defensed and five interceptions over 11 regular-season games in 2023.

    Stingley, a second-year cornerback and 2022 first-round draft pick, suffered a Week 3 hamstring that created issues for the defense early on, but upon his return Week 10, Stingley made an impact. He had interceptions in three straight games, including a Week 13 win over the Broncos. Stingley will return as Houston's top cornerback in 2024.

    DeAndre Houston-Carson: Enters free agency
    3h ago

    Houston-Carson recorded 41 tackles, five passes defensed, two interceptions and one fumble recovery over 13 regular-season games in 2023.

    Houston-Carson started the season in Baltimore then finished up in Houston, where he played a career-high 447 snaps on defense. Injuries on the back end led to Houston-Carson playing a big role for the Texans, including two pivotal plays in a Week 10 win over the Bengals. He entered unrestricted free agency during the offseason.

    Texans' Jimmie Ward: Injury-marred 2023
    3h ago

    Ward (quadriceps) recorded 50 tackles, three passes defensed, one interception and one forced fumble over 10 games in 2023.

    Ward, a team captain, was beset by injuries all season long. He missed time due to hip, hamstring and shoulder injuries before a quadricep ended his season in December. In between the setbacks, Ward played well, and his one interception was an end-zone pick that sealed a win over Denver. Houston went 6-4 in games he played and could use his stabilizing presence on the back end. Ward turns 33 in July and will be entering his 11th season.

    Texans' Henry To'oTo'o: Contributes in rookie season
    3h ago

    To'oTo'o recorded 61 tackles, two passes defensed, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery over 15 regular-season games in 2023.

    To'oTo'o, a fifth-round draft pick out of Alabama, started from Week 2 to Week 7 and played in both of Houston's playoff games during his rookie season. The Texans lost two linebackers to free agency -- Blake Cashman and Denzel Perryman -- which leaves To'oTo'o as a projected starter for 2024. However, Houston is expected to address the position during the offseason.

  • Maikel Garcia KC 3B
    Royals' Maikel Garcia: Batting leadoff on Opening Day
    2m ago

    Garcia is starting at third base and batting leadoff for the Royals in Thursday's opener against the Twins.

    Garcia had a great spring in posting a .984 OPS and opens the years as the Royals' leadoff man, as expected. The young infielder has some breakout potential this season from the top of the batting order, boasting good wheels and some sneaky pop.

    Twins' Manuel Margot: In lineup at designated hitter
    14m ago

    Margot is starting at designated hitter and batting ninth for the Twins in Thursday's opener versus the Royals.

    The Twins got Margot to play against left-handed pitching, so it's no surprise he's in there against southpaw Cole Ragans, though it's a bit of a surprise he's at DH and not playing the outfield. Margot had to exit hit final exhibition game after being hit on the hand by a pitch, but he's fine.

  • Jordan Romano TOR RP
    Blue Jays' Jordan Romano: Likely facing minimum IL stint
    18m ago

    Romano (elbow) isn't expected to need much time to build back up once he's cleared to start throwing off a mound again, and Blue Jays general manager Ross Atkins believes the right-hander will only need a minimum stay on the injured list, Gregor Chisholm of the Toronto Star reports.

    The Toronto closer was given an anti-inflammatory injection early last week after an MRI on his elbow showed no structural issues. A backdated placement on the IL for Romano and a minimum 15-day stay could have him back in the Jays bullpen as early as April 9 against the Mariners. In the right-hander's absence, Yimi Garcia, Chad Green and Tim Mayza are all candidates to handle save chances.

    Banton registered 31 points (13-23 FG, 5-11 3Pt), five rebounds, nine assists and two steals across 37 minutes during Wednesday's 120-106 loss to the Hawks.

    Banton posted his best scoring mark of the campaign, and he also extended his impressive stretch of games with double-digit points to nine despite coming off the bench in the last six. Banton is averaging 18.8 points per game in that nine-game stretch, and he'll aim to keep that run alive when facing the Heat on Friday.

  • Mark Williams CHA C
    Hornets' Mark Williams: Unlikely to play again in 2023-24
    13m ago

    The Hornets haven't officially shut Williams (back) down for the season, but the second-year center isn't expected to play again during the 2023-24 campaign, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.

    Updates on Williams' status have been few and far between since he made his last appearance Dec. 8 before being shut down with what the Hornets initially listed as a lower back contusion. The Hornets' latest injury report has referred to his ongoing absence being the result of "low back injury recovery," and the team hasn't provided any concrete information regarding what kind of activity Williams is doing as part of his rehab program. Though the Hornets haven't officially made an announcement on shutting Williams down for the season like they have with LaMelo Ball (ankle), Cody Martin (ankle) and Seth Curry (ankle) within the past two days, fantasy managers in redraft leagues who have been holding Williams amid his prolonged absence can feel comfortable cutting bait at this point. Nick Richards has since taken over as the Hornets' starting center, with Grant Williams and Aleksej Pokusevski serving as Richards' primary backup options.

    Tillman (knee) was active in shootaround ahead of Thursday's game versus the Hawks, Bobby Manning of CelticsBlog reports.

    Tillman is officially listed as questionable for Thursday's contest due to left knee inflammation. However, Tillman's participation in shootaround is a good sign of his availability against Atlanta.

    Celtics' Jrue Holiday: Active during shootaround

    Holiday (shoulder) is officially listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Hawks, but he was active during Boston's morning shootaround.

    Holiday has missed five straight contests due to a right shoulder sprain but is nearing a return to game action. If he's cleared, Holiday should start, as he hasn't come off the bench yet as a Celtic, but may face some limitations given his lengthy absence.

  • Cody Martin CHA SF
    Hornets' Cody Martin: Shut down for rest of season
    29m ago

    Hornets head coach Steve Clifford confirmed Wednesday that Martin (ankle) has been ruled out for the remainder of the 2023-24 campaign, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports. "Those two guys are not going to be able to come back," Clifford said of Martin and Seth Curry (ankle). "And it doesn't mean we can't play well. It doesn't mean we can't be proud of how we play. But that's just where we are at. Listen, it's not ideal."

    Within the past two days, the Hornets have elected to shut down Martin, Curry and LaMelo Ball (ankle) for the season while all three have already missed extended time with ankle injuries, and Boone relays that center Mark Williams' (back) season is most likely over as well. Martin appeared in 28 games (22 starts) this season and averaged 7.5 points, 3.9 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.0 three-pointers in 26.9 minutes per game. Martin has played in just 35 games the last two seasons due to injuries but has one more guaranteed year on the four-year contract he signed in July 2022, so he should be back in Charlotte for the 2024-25 season.

    Blues' Jordan Binnington: Slated to start Thursday
    5m ago

    Binnington is expected to guard the cage at home versus the Flames on Thursday, Matthew DeFranks of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

    Binnington has suffered just one regulation loss in his last five outings, going 3-1-1 with a 2.55 GAA and .923 save percentage. The 30-year-old netminder should continue to see the majority of the workload down the stretch, though if the Blues find themselves outside of the playoff hunt, they could turn to Joel Hofer a little more.

Ersson picked up the win in his only appearance this season versus the Canadiens, giving up two goals on 19 shots in a 3-2 shootout victory.

    Matthews is on a five-game point streak in which he has four goals and 11 points. He leads the NHL with 59 goals and has 93 points in 70 games this season. Matthews had a huge game versus Washington on March 20, scoring a pair of goals and adding three assists. Check ahead of game-time for Matthews' status.

    Panthers' Jonah Gadjovich: Remains unavailable

    Gadjovich (undisclosed) will not be in the lineup against the Islanders on Thursday, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Gadjovich is stuck in a 10-game pointless streak dating back to Feb. 14 against the Penguins. Even once cleared to play, the 25-year-old winger could find himself serving as a healthy scratch frequently. As such, Gadjovich shouldn't be expected to offer much in the way of fantasy value.

    Panthers' Aaron Ekblad: Returning to action Thursday
    30m ago

    Ekblad (lower body) will be back in the lineup versus the Islanders on Thursday, according to George Richards of Florida Hockey Now.

    Ekblad sat out seven games with the injury. Ekblad missed the first 16 games of the season, recovering from offseason shoulder surgery, and has struggled offensively. The 28-year-old blueliner has only four goals and 17 points in 47 games. If he is unable to pick up the pace, he will miss hitting double digits in goals for only the second time in 10 years. Ekblad will line up alongside Gustav Forsling on the blue line and should see some second-unit power-play time.
