  • Evan McPherson CIN K
    Bengals' Evan McPherson: Looking to build upon strong 2025
    9h ago

    McPherson will again work as Cincinnati's primary kicker during the upcoming season following a bounce-back performance last year, John Sheeran of A to Z Sports reports.

    McPherson struggled mightily in 2024, making just 16 of 22 FG attempts over 12 regular-season contests. However, he was much better last season, converting a career-high 89 percent of his field-goal tries (25-for-28), though he did miss three PATs. McPherson went 5-for-8 from 50-plus yards and 10-for-10 from 40 to 49 yards last year, giving the Bengals a reliable leg when they opted to kick from distance. Cincinnati has much higher aspirations after winning just six games last year, and McPherson figures to play a key role if the team is to rebound from a rough campaign.

  • Cairo Santos CHI K
    Bears' Cairo Santos: Looks to be No. 1 kicker for 2026
    9h ago

    Santos currently doesn't have any viable competition for the role of Chicago's primary placekicker, Alyssa Barbieri and Brendan Sugrue of Bears Wire report.

    Santos had an uneven 2025 season, making just 25 of 30 field-goal attempts, including going 4-for-6 from 50-plus yards. However, he made all 39 of point-after tries and hit several clutch FGs, including a game-winning 48-yard kick as time expired against Minnesota in Week 11. With that said, the 12-year veteran doesn't have anywhere near the strongest leg in the league, and he missed a pair of contests last year due to a thigh injury. The Bears don't currently have another kicker on the roster, so Santos looks set to open 2026 as the team's primary option at that position. However, Barbieri and Sugrue suggest Chicago could move on at some point given Santos' lack of a big leg, which puts him behind most top kickers in the league.

    Jaguars' Cam Little: Looking to build on big 2025
    9h ago

    Little is set to reprise his role as Jacksonville's primary kicker during the upcoming season and will look to further cement his place as one of the NFL's top players at his position, Casandra Chesser of Jaguars Wire reports.

    Little made history last year when he kicked the longest field goal in league history -- a 68-yarder in Week 9. For good measure, he booted a 67-yarder in Week 18 and outdid both of those kicks in the preseason with a 70-yarder. Overall, Little made 30 of 34 FG attempts and 50 of 51 extra-point tries, leaving little margin for him to improve. Still, he had a rough patch between Weeks 3 and 7 when he went just 4-for-8 on field-goal tries, so a reasonable goal could be to avoid any similar uneven stretches in 2026. Regardless, Little will enter the campaign as one of fantasy's most desirable kickers, especially in formats that award more points for long-distance makes.

    Chargers' Cameron Dicker: Gearing up for fifth season
    11h ago

    Dicker is entering his fifth NFL campaign, his fourth as the Chargers' undisputed starting kicker.

    Dicker is coming off of a 2025 campaign during which he converted 38 of 41 field-goal attempts, notching his first Pro Bowl appearance. Dicker now owns four of the five best single-season field-goal percentage campaigns in franchise history, per Omar Navarro of the Chargers' official website. The kicker will look to build off the historic start to his career in 2026, capping off the possessions of the highly-anticipated Los Angeles offense under new offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel.

    Vikings' Kyler Murray: QB competition looming
    16h ago

    During an appearance on The Dan Patrick Show, coach Kevin O'Connell declined to shed much light on the upcoming QB competition between Murray and J.J. McCarthy, Nick Shook of NFL.com reports.

    As training camp approaches, O'Connell has yet to declare a QB pecking order, though he did offer brief assessments of the team's top three signal callers, as well as his general approach to evaluating the position. "Kyler has come in and done a great job," O'Connell noted of the team's offseason free-agent acquisition. "J.J., I think, has benefit[ed] from it; he's had a really good spring. Carson Wentz is the veteran quarterback in the room. As a guy who's played seven or eight quarterbacks in four years, the two years we had our starter play the whole season, we won 13 and 14 games. So we want to try to get back to the standard of having the quarterback position be a driving force behind us winning by doing their job, by hopefully activating the great players they get to play with." Valuable context regarding this looming job battle is slated to arrive once training camp commences later this month, but at this stage Murray profiles as the favorite to draw Minnesota's Week 1 start.

  • Nate Boerkircher JAC TE
    Jaguars' Nate Boerkircher: Competing for No. 2 TE role
    17h ago

    John Shipley of SI.com considers Boerkircher the favorite to secure the Jaguars' No. 2 TE role behind Brenton Strange.

    Strange inked a lucrative extension with the team last month and remains Jacksonville's clear-cut No. 1 TE on the heels of a 46-catch effort in 12 regular-season games in 2025. Boerkircher -- whom the Jaguars took 56th overall in the 2026 NFL Draft -- is thus slated to compete with fellow rookie Tanner Koziol, as well as returnees Quintin Morris and Hunter Long for slotting behind Strange ahead of Week 1. After logging a total of 38 career catches through five collegiate seasons, Boerkircher figures to make his initial mark as a pro in the blocking game, with the 24-year-old's long-term fantasy upside hinging on whether he's able to make strides as a pass catcher down the road.

    The Nationals selected Cosgrove's contract from Triple-A Rochester on Friday, Spencer Nusbaum of The Athletic reports.

    Cosgrove was just acquired via trade from the Astros last week and is now joining up with the big club. The lefty reliever has logged a 4.15 ERA and 32:22 K:BB across 30.1 innings of work at the Triple-A level this season.

    Pirates' Thomas Harrington: Promoted to big leagues

    The Pirates will recalled Harrington from Triple-A Indianapolis Friday, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

    Harrington has had a rough season at Indianapolis, posting a 6.52 ERA and 56:26 K:BB across 58 frames. He's been used as a multi-inning reliever over the past several weeks, so Harrington will give the Pittsburgh bullpen some length.

    The Pirates recalled Kelly from Triple-A Indianapolis Friday, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

    Kelly made his major-league debut earlier this season for Pittsburgh, allowing two runs over a 2.1-inning relief outing. The 22-year-old has logged a 4.85 ERA and 54:33 K:BB over 68.2 frames at Indianapolis in 2026. Kelly is presumably up to provide the bullpen with some length.

    Mets' Juan Soto: Homers again Thursday
    2h ago

    Soto went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, two walks and an additional run scored in Thursday's 7-3 win over the Royals.

    Soto capped the scoring in the seventh inning with his 435-foot blast off Beck Way, his 21st long ball this season. Soto's now homered four times in his last seven games, going 8-for-24 (.333) with a 1.348 OPS in that span. Overall, the star outfielder is slashing .297/.414/.579 with 50 RBI, 44 runs scored and seven stolen bases across 321 plate appearances.

    Naylor went 1-for-4 with two stolen bases and a run scored in Thursday's 8-4 loss to the Marlins.

    Naylor, who extended his hitting streak to five games Thursday, now has three stolen bases in his last two games. He's up to 18 steals in 21 attempts this year, putting him well in range to pass his career-high of 30 set last season. At the plate, Naylor's gone .251/.312/.353 with eight homers, 36 RBI and 34 runs scored across 375 plate appearances.

    Canzone went 2-for-5 with a two-run homer in Thursday's 8-4 loss to the Marlins.

    Canzone cut Miami's lead to 8-4 in the eighth inning with a 421-foot blast off William Kempner, his 15th homer this season. Canzone, who's been batting third in Seattle's order as their regular DH, has gone 6-for-22 with two homers and five RBI in his last five games. Overall, he's slashing .269/.341/.543 with 39 RBI, 33 runs scored and a steal across 246 plate appearances.

    Sharp (undisclosed) supplied 21 points (4-10 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 7-8 FT), four steals and two rebounds across 26 minutes in Thursday's 91-85 Summer League win over the Clippers.

    Sharp was held out of Monday's California Classic win over the Bucks but returned to action in the Kings' Las Vegas Summer League opener. The 2026 second-rounder led all players in scoring while coming off the bench Thursday. Additionally, he tied the game-high mark in steals.

    Jazz's Cody Williams: Four steals versus Wizards
    10h ago

    Williams finished with 16 points (6-12 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists, four steals and one block across 30 minutes in Thursday's 92-88 Summer League loss to Washington.

    Williams averaged a career-high 8.8 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 0.4 blocks and 0.8 steals over 24.3 minutes in 67 regular-season appearances in 2025-26. Although he had a quiet start to his second season in the NBA, he finished the year by averaging 15.2 points in six regular-season games in April. It's unclear how many more games Williams will play during his time in Las Vegas. However, as it stands currently, it appears he could be even more productive in 2026-27, especially if he gets consistent playing time.

    Jazz's Darryn Peterson: Eight turnovers in loss

    Peterson finished with 24 points (6-18 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 6-8 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one block over 30 minutes in Thursday's 92-88 Summer League loss to Washington.

    Peterson was productive during the Salt Lake City Summer League. Although he kept it going on the scoring end Thursday, he was inefficient shooting the ball. Turnovers were also an issue once again, as the 2026 No. 2 overall pick committed eight on the night. It's unclear how much action Peterson will see throughout his time in Las Vegas, though it's reasonable to believe he will clean up some of those issues, especially once he adjusts to the speed of the professional level.

    Johnson (foot) finished with 26 points (11-20 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal across 28 minutes in Thursday's 92-88 Summer League win over the Jazz.

    Johnson wasn't shy about hunting his shot from beyond the arc, but he wasn't very efficient from downtown. Still, the 20-year-old guard finished second on the team in scoring and was the only Wizards player to knock down multiple triples. The Texas product started 42 of his 60 regular-season appearances as a rookie, though the arrival of AJ Dybantsa will likely push Johnson into a bench role.

    Dybantsa struggled from three-point range but was highly productive otherwise. The 19-year-old forward got to the charity stripe often and erupted for a game-high 27 points while pacing the Wizards in rebounds. He was also solid on the defensive end, finishing as one of two Wizards players to record at least three combined steals-plus-blocks.

    Wild's David Spacek: Inks one-year contract

    Spacek signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Wild on Thursday, per PuckPedia.

    Spacek had seven goals and 36 points in 59 regular-season appearances with AHL Iowa in 2025-26. He also appeared in two regular-season outings with Minnesota last campaign, recording no points, no shots, one hit and two blocks. The 23-year-old defenseman will get a chance to compete for a roster spot during training camp, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him start the upcoming season in the minors.

He also logged 13 games with the Rangers last season, recording no points, six PIM and 17 hits. Montreal acquired Berard from the Rangers on June 26 in exchange for William Trudeau. The 23-year-old Berard is likely to open the season in the minors.

    Bourgault reached an arbitration settlement on a one-year contract with the Senators on Thursday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

    Bourgault's new deal will pay him $850,000 at the NHL level or $265,000 at the AHL level. He made his NHL debut last year by making two regular-season appearances for Ottawa, but he spent most of his time in the minors, racking up 25 goals, 32 assists and 34 PIM across 70 regular-season appearances with AHL Belleville.

    Carlsson will become the NHL's highest-paid player with his $18 million AAV, surpassing the $17 million AAV deal for Minnesota's Kirill Kaprizov. The 21-year-old Carlsson will no doubt be expected to continue stepping up his production after recording 29 goals and 38 assists in 70 regular-season games last year. It's possible, with Carlsson capable of reaching the 40-goal threshold if he can play a full 84-game schedule.

    Duran has spent the last two seasons in the organization, and he got a brief taste of NHL action during the 2024-25 campaign by making a pair of regular-season appearances for Boston. Across 72 regular-season games with AHL Providence last year, he recorded seven goals, 12 assists and 22 PIM. While he'll have flexibility to move between Providence and Boston on his two-way deal, it wouldn't be surprising to see him spend most of his time in the minors during the 2026-27 season.
