Nick Scott CAR SS
Panthers' Nick Scott: Returning to Carolina
2d agoScott and the Panthers have agreed upon a one-year contract, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Scott struggled in his first season with Carolina after signing a one-year deal last March, logging 30 tackles -- his fewest since 2020 -- and two defensed passes over 10 games. Part of the reason for his reduced numbers was injuries, as the Penn State product dealt with multiple issues that collectively caused him to miss seven games. Scott made four starts early in the campaign for the Panthers last year, but he finished the campaign playing exclusively on special teams. With Carolina's signing of Tre'von Moehrig in early March, Scott figures to serve as depth at safety this season while reprising his role as a core special-teamer.

Zach Pascal ARI WR
Giants' Zach Pascal: Moving to NFC East
2d agoPascal and the Giants have agreed upon a one-year contract, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
With New York, Pascal will get to reunite with wide receivers coach Mike Groh, who was on the Colts' staff during Pascal's final two seasons in Indianapolis. The veteran wideout has seen his role shift in recent campaigns, as Pascal logged more snaps on special teams than on offense each of the past two years while with Arizona -- in fact, he played in all 17 of the Cardinals' contests last season but didn't see a target in the passing game. Pascal could fill a similar role with the Giants, though he should at least get a chance to compete for a depth receiver role during training camp.

Jerome Baker TEN ILB
Browns' Jerome Baker: Lands deal with hometown team
2d agoBaker and the Browns have agreed to terms on a contract, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Baker is no stranger to Ohio, as he was born in Cleveland and played college football at Ohio State. The 28-year-old had a tumultuous 2024 season, as he began the year in Seattle before being traded to Tennessee in October and finished with a career-low total of 61 tackles (including 2.0 sacks) over 10 regular-season games. Baker gives the Browns some much-needed depth at linebacker with the NFL future of Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah uncertain due to a neck injury that caused him to sit out Cleveland's final nine games last year.

Jameis Winston CLE QB
Giants' Jameis Winston: Joining G-Men
3d agoWinston and the Giants are finalizing a two-year, $8 million contract, Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports reports.
Per Schultz, the contract could be worth up to $16 million with incentives. Winston stepped into a starting role for the Browns last season after Deshaun Watson tore his Achilles, and he finished the campaign with 2,121 passing yards on a 61 percent completion rate and a 13:12 TD:INT over 12 contests while adding 83 rushing yards and a touchdown on 25 carries. For the time being, Winston looks to be in line for a starting role with New York, though the team could still pursue another quarterback in free agency or the draft given Tommy DeVito is the only other QB currently under contract. If Winston does land the starting role, he'll have one of the league's most talented young wideouts in Malik Nabers to throw the ball to, though turnovers have frequently been a flaw in Winston's game as evidenced by his 154:111 TD:INT over 105 regular-season contests. Winston missed the end of the 2024 regular season with a right shoulder injury, but that no longer seems to be a concern considering the Giants' willingness to hand him a potentially central role from the outset of the 2025 campaign.

Tyler Conklin NYJ TE
Chargers' Tyler Conklin: Lands with Bolts
3d agoConklin agreed to terms Friday on a one-year contract with the Chargers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Conklin joins Will Dissly atop Los Angeles' tight-end depth chart, after both players logged similarly productive 2024 campaigns. Dissly (50-481-2) suited up for 15 regular-season games with the Chargers last year, while Conklin (51-449-4) played all 17 regular-season contests with the Jets. Both tight ends boast enough versatility to contribute as solid blockers and pass catchers. That overlap could cause their individual production to decline from a fantasy perspective, but it's a plus for Justin Herbert and offensive coordinator Greg Roman.

Curtis Jacobs 2005 LB
Curtis Jacobs: Let go by New England
3d agoThe Patriots waived Jacobs (concussion) on Friday.
Jacobs was claimed off waivers by New England last August, and he suited up for nine regular-season games with the team in 2024. The 23-year-old linebacker mostly contributed on special teams until a concussion forced him to shift to IR. Now healthy, Jacobs will search for a chance to prove himself in a depth capacity with a new squad.

Scott Blewett MIN RP
Twins' Scott Blewett: Will not make Minnesota bullpen
8h agoBlewett was told Saturday he won't make Minnesota's major league roster, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.
Blewett is out of options, so he'll need to pass through waivers to be sent to the minors. If so, he will likely begin the season at Triple-A St. Paul and add bullpen depth. It wouldn't be surprising to see him called up during the season.
-
David Robertson TEX RP
David Robertson: Available as Opening Day looms
10h agoRobertson remains one of the more prominent free agents as Opening Day approaches.
Robertson is still without a home for the 2025 season, although he is coming off of a 2024 campaign in which he compiled a 3.00 ERA and 1.11 WHIP with 99 strikeouts, 35 holds and two saves over 72 innings in 68 appearances with the Rangers. The 39-year-old has been one of the most consistent relievers in baseball throughout his 17-year major-league career, and he'll likely find a landing spot sooner rather than later as Opening Day is less than a week away.

Mookie Betts LAD SS
Dodgers' Mookie Betts: Absent Sunday due to illness
10h agoBetts was a late scratch from Sunday's lineup against the Angels due to his ongoing battle with an illness, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
Betts has been dealing with an unknown illness for multiple weeks. The 32-year-old is reportedly down to 157 pounds after entering spring training at 175 pounds, and he's still struggling to hold down food. The Dodgers may have to start considering other options at shortstop for Thursday's home opener versus the Tigers.

Myles Straw TOR CF
Blue Jays' Myles Straw: Earns Opening Day spot
11h agoStraw will be a part of Toronto's Opening Day roster, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Straw will secure one of the team's final position player spots on its Opening Day roster after batting .400 with a home run, six RBI, six runs scored and a stolen base over 30 at-bats in 19 games during spring training. The 30-year-old will help fill the void left by Daulton Varsho (shoulder) in Toronto's outfield for the first couple weeks of the season.
-
Jacob Barnes TOR RP
Blue Jays' Jacob Barnes: Set to make Opening Day roster
11h agoBarnes is expected to be a part of Toronto's Opening Day roster, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.
Barnes will open the year with Toronto's major-league roster after signing a minor-league deal with the team in February. The right-hander appeared in six games this spring, including one start, surrendering four earned runs on five hits and three walks while striking out six batters over 5.1 innings.
-
Jose Iglesias SD SS
Padres' Jose Iglesias: Makes Opening Day roster
12h agoIglesias will be a part of the Padres' Opening Day roster, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
Iglesias will officially make the team's initial 26-man roster after signing a minor-league deal with San Diego on March 5. The 35-year-old went 5-for-25 with a double, two RBI, a run scored and four strikeouts over 11 games with the Padres this spring. Iglesias will likely operate in a utility role with San Diego to open the season, serving as a backup option to Jake Cronenworth, Manny Machado and Xander Bogaerts in the infield.

James Harden LAC PG
Clippers' James Harden: Banged up in loss
8h agoHarden suffered quad and ankle injuries late in Sunday's 103-101 loss to the Thunder, independent NBA writer Justin Russo reports.
Head coach Tyronn Lue details that Harden took a knee to the thigh in the fourth quarter, which caused him to fall to the ground and roll his ankle in the process. Harden was able to finish the game but was labored and likely wouldn't have stayed in had it not been crunch time in a highly competitive contest. He concludes the contest with 17 points (4-14 FG, 7-8 FT, 2-6 3Pt), eight assists, five rebounds and a block in 35 minutes. The Clippers have a couple of days off before they face the Knicks on Wednesday, which could bode well for Harden's chances of playing. In the event he misses time, Kris Dunn would likely see an uptick in minutes.

Jalen Duren DET C
Pistons' Jalen Duren: Balanced outing in double-double
9h agoDuren chipped in 22 points (8-11 FG, 6-9 FT), 12 rebounds and two assists in 29 minutes during Sunday's 136-130 victory over New Orleans.
Duren held things down in the paint for Detroit in Sunday's contest, leading all players in rebounds while pacing all Pistons starters in scoring in a double-double outing. Duren has been a double-double machine this season, recording 35 double-doubles including two in his last three contests.
-
Nikola Jokic DEN C
Nuggets' Nikola Jokic: Unlikely against Chicago
9h agoHead coach Michael Malone said Sunday that Jokic is unlikely to play in Monday's game against the Bulls, but he will play at some point during the team's five-game homestand, Katy Winge of Altitude Sports reports.
Jokic has missed the last four games due to a left ankle issue, but he will be returning to the lineup at some point during the team's homestand, which begins Monday against the Bulls and concludes April 2 against San Antonio. Coach Malone's comments make it seem unlikely that Jokic will suit up Monday, so he could be aiming for a return Wednesday against the Bucks. In the meantime, Jamal Murray will likely carry the load offensively, with Aaron Gordon also getting extra looks, and DeAndre Jordan figures to continue seeing increased run at the center position.
-
Marcus Sasser DET PG
Pistons' Marcus Sasser: Reaches 20 points off bench
9h agoSasser chipped in 20 points (6-9 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT), one rebound, two assists and one steal across 26 minutes during Sunday's 136-130 win over the Pelicans.
Sasser had a strong outing from deep Sunday, connecting on a trio of threes while finishing as one of three Pistons with 20 or more points in a winning effort. Sasser posted his second-highest scoring total of the season, finishing behind only his season high of 22 points recorded Nov. 27.
-
Ron Holland DET SF
Pistons' Ron Holland: Best outing of season
9h agoHolland totaled 26 points (10-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-11 FT), five rebounds, six assists and one steal in 36 minutes during Sunday's 136-130 victory over the Pelicans.
Holland dominated off the Detroit bench in Sunday's high-scoring battle, leading all bench players in scoring and rebounds while handing out a team-high assist total in a well-rounded showcase. Holland tied a season high in scoring while setting a new season high in assists.
-
CJ McCollum NO PG
Pelicans' CJ McCollum: Drops 40 points in offensive outing
9h agoMcCollum recorded 40 points (16-28 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 3-5 FT), five rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 37 minutes during Sunday's 136-130 loss to Detroit.
McCollum did it all for New Orleans offensively in Sunday's contest, leading all players in scoring and shots made while ending second on the team in threes made and assists in a losing effort. McCollum tallied 40 or more points in four outings, connecting on five or more threes in all of those contests.

Cole Koepke BOS LW
Bruins' Cole Koepke: Plucks apple Sunday
5h agoKoepke registered an assist in Sunday's 7-2 loss to the Kings.
Koepke put up two helpers over two games this weekend, a span in which the Bruins were outscored 10-3. The 26-year-old forward continues to see time on the third line as a checking winger, but don't expect consistent offense from him while Boston's scoring is in the dumps. Koepke has put up 16 points, 71 shots on net, 153 hits and a plus-5 rating across 63 appearances in 2024-25.
-
Pavel Zacha BOS C
Bruins' Pavel Zacha: Produces assist Sunday
5h agoZacha notched an assist, three hits and a minus-2 rating in Sunday's 7-2 loss to the Kings.
Zacha has three points over his last four contests, despite putting just one shot on goal in that span. The 27-year-old center is playing in a top-six role, but he'll need to generate more chances to avoid a season-ending slump. Overall, he's produced 14 goals, 29 helpers, 120 shots on net, 52 hits and a minus-2 rating through 72 appearances. This will likely be his weakest of three seasons as a Bruin, though it's still better than every campaign he had with the Devils.
-
Elias Lindholm BOS C
Bruins' Elias Lindholm: Puts away goal in blowout loss
5h agoLindholm scored a goal in Sunday's 7-2 loss to the Kings.
Lindholm snapped a three-game dry spell when he tallied just 19 seconds into the contest. The good vibes didn't last long for the Bruins -- Anze Kopitar tied the game a couple minutes later, and the Kings dominated the rest of the way. Lindholm is up to 13 goals, 37 points, 130 shots on net, 104 hits, 70 blocked shots and a minus-11 rating over 72 appearances. While this is set to be a career year in the physical categories for Lindholm, it's come at the cost of offense as he tracks toward his worst scoring campaign since his first three seasons in Carolina.
-
Morgan Geekie BOS C
Bruins' Morgan Geekie: Lights lamp in Sunday's loss
5h agoGeekie scored a goal, added two PIM and went minus-2 in Saturday's 7-2 loss to the Kings.
Even with the Bruins struggling to the tune of eight goals in their last five games, Geekie's offense rolls on. He has three goals and an assist in that span while maintaining a top-line role. For the season, the 26-year-old is up to 25 goals, 39 points, 130 shots on net, 95 hits and a minus-1 rating through 67 appearances. His next point will give him a career high and get him to 40 for the first time.
-
Jeremy Swayman BOS G
Bruins' Jeremy Swayman: Keeps stumbling in loss to Kings
5h agoSwayman stopped 16 of 23 shots in Sunday's 7-2 loss to the Kings.
Joonas Korpisalo played all of Saturday's loss to the Sharks, leaving Swayman to stay in for all of this lopsided defeat. This was the third time in 2024-25 that Swayman has allowed at least seven goals, and he's given up a total of 20 tallies during a four-game losing streak. He's down to 20-25-6 with a 3.12 GAA and an .892 save percentage over 51 appearances. It's a lost year for both Swayman and the Bruins, but he's still likely to see a decent share of playing time to close it out. The road trip continues Wednesday in Anaheim, but Swayman's recent play has made him too unreliable for fantasy managers.
-
Trevor Lewis LA C
Kings' Trevor Lewis: Checks in, earns assist
6h agoLewis logged an assist and three hits in Sunday's 7-2 win over the Bruins.
Trevor Moore (upper body) couldn't play Sunday, and Lewis got the nod to enter the lineup over Akil Thomas. Prior to Sunday, Lewis had been scratched for eight straight contests, losing his spot in the lineup after the Kings traded for Andrei Kuzmenko. The 38-year-old Lewis has nine points, 43 shots on net, 81 hits, 28 blocked shots, 20 PIM and a minus-5 rating through 49 appearances. He'll likely return to the press box once the Kings' roster is back to full health.
