  Jamaree Caldwell: Solid impact as rookie
  
  Caldwell recorded 31 tackles (14 solo) with 1.0 sack, one pass defensed and one forced fumble across 17 regular-season games with the Chargers in 2025. The Chargers selected Caldwell in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft, and he went on to play 485 defensive snaps in his rookie season. He primarily functioned as a run stuffer, which he did effectively, and he should at least maintain a comparable role in 2026. While Caldwell was a key member of the Chargers' defense, his fantasy intrigue is minimal due to his lack of production as a pass rusher.

  Benjamin St-Juste: Role slips significantly
  
  St-Juste recorded 37 tackles (22 solo), seven passes defensed and one interception across 16 regular-season games with the Chargers in 2025. St-Juste joined the Chargers on a modest one-year deal prior to the 2025 season. He filled a depth role in the secondary, with his 355 defensive snaps marking his fewest since his rookie campaign. On the other hand, St. Juste did well when tested by opposing quarterbacks, so he may get a slightly larger deal this offseason with the chance to earn more of a defensive role in 2026.

  Denzel Perryman: Records 47 tackles in 10 games
  
  Perryman concluded the 2025 regular season with 47 tackles (30 solo) and three pass breakups in 10 appearances. The inside linebacker missed five games with an ankle injury and two more due to a suspension stemming from a Week 16 hit on Cowboys receiver Ryan Flournoy. Perryman did start all 10 games he played in as well as the Chargers' playoff matchup with the Patriots. The veteran has played on one-year deals for each of the last three seasons, and he is set to become a free agent again.

February 12, 2026
Cam Hart : Breaks up 11 passes

Hart finished the 2025 regular season with 48 tackles (37 solo) and 11 pass breakups, including one interception, across 16 games. The second-year corner didn't always start in 2025 (six of 16 regular-season games), but he did usually play, seeing the field for more than 50 percent of the defensive snaps in 14 of his 16 contests. Hart took on a similar role as a rookie in 2024, finishing the regular season with 37 tackles (28 solo) and seven pass breakups. The 2024 fifth-round pick has two years left on his rookie deal.

February 12, 2026
Elijah Molden : Plays starting role again

Molden finished the regular season with 52 tackles (28 solo) and an interception in 12 games, all of them starts. The safety started 12 of 15 regular-season games for the Chargers a year ago, his first season with the team. With two years left on the three-year deal he signed last February, Molden appears to be a part of the team's plans for 2026 as well.

February 12, 2026
Troy Dye : Records 58 tackles

Dye finished the 2025 regular season with 58 tackles (28 solo), including 1.0 sacks, four pass breakups, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in 16 games. The inside linebacker also made two tackles (one solo) in the Chargers' playoff loss to the Patriots. Dye made seven starts in his 16 regular-season appearances. In each of the last two seasons with the Chargers, he has finished with more than 50 tackles, but he has yet to secure a consistent starting role.

February 12, 2026
Tonka Hemingway : Plays sparingly as a rookie

Hemingway played in just nine games as a rookie in 2025, as he was a healthy scratch for the other eight, though he did record 4.0 sacks among his nine tackles (eight solo). The defensive lineman also broke up a pass and recovered a fumble. Hemingway did manage to get on the field in each of the last five games and in seven of the last nine, playing more than 30 percent of the defensive snaps in six of those contests. The fourth-round pick will try to earn a bigger role in 2026.

February 12, 2026
Tyree Wilson : Finishes with 4.0 sacks

Wilson concluded the 2025 regular season with 35 tackles (25 solo), including 4.0 sacks, a pass breakup, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery across 17 games. For three straight seasons now, the 2023 first-round pick has played between 400 and 500 defensive snaps and recorded 3.5-4.5 sacks. Wilson has been available throughout his NFL career, playing in 50 of a possible 51 regular-season games, though he's started only seven of them.

  Jaxson Hayes: Looks good in Thursday’s start
  
  Hayes had 16 points (8-10 FG), seven rebounds, four assists, one block and three steals in 34 minutes during Thursday's 124-104 victory over the Mavericks. Making his third start in the last four games while Deandre Ayton (knee) is on the mend, Hayes tied his season scoring high while setting new season highs in minutes and steals. The 25-year-old center is averaging 13.7 points, 5.0 boards, 2.7 assists and 1.0 steals in 21.7 minutes over the last three contests, but his role is likely to shrink once Ayton is cleared to return.

  Reaves recorded 18 points (5-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 7-9 FT), four rebounds and six assists in 28 minutes off the bench during Thursday's 124-104 win over Dallas. After sitting out the second game of a back-to-back Tuesday, Reaves was back in action Thursday and led the Lakers second unit in scoring -- the rest of the team's bench managed just 21 points combined. In five games since returning from a calf injury in early February, Reaves is averaging 20.0 points, 4.8 assists, 4.2 boards, 1.6 threes and 1.0 steals in 25.4 minutes, and he could be ready to rejoin the starting five on the other side of the All-Star break.

  Rui Hachimura: Strikes for 21 in Thursday’s win
  
  Hachimura notched 21 points (9-13 FG, 3-4 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one steal across 35 minutes during Thursday's 124-104 win over Dallas. Making his fourth straight start, Hachimura produced his best scoring effort since Jan. 26, when he dropped 23 points in Chicago. The 28-year-old forward heads into the All-Star break averaging 14.3 points, 3.3 boards, 2.3 threes, 1.3 assists and 0.8 steals during his starting stint, but he'll likely return to the bench when starters Deandre Ayton (knee) and Luka Doncic are cleared to get back on the court.

February 13, 2026
Pete Nance : Notches 11 points in win

Nance notched 11 points (4-6 FG, 3-5 3Pt), seven rebounds, two assists and one block across 24 minutes during Thursday's 110-93 win over the Thunder. Myles Turner (calf) was held out for the final game before the All-Star break, but he's considered day-to-day. Jericho Sims saw 20 minutes with the starting group, but Nance was more effective in his 24-minute stint. Nance is trending up in deeper formats and is a player to monitor after the break.

February 13, 2026
Brandon Williams : Productive in Thursday’s start

Williams produced 17 points (6-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 29 minutes during Thursday's 124-104 loss to the Lakers. Getting his first start since Jan. 17 with Cooper Flagg (foot) in street clothes, Williams posted his highest assist total since Dec. 5 while scoring in double digits for the seventh time in the last eight games. Over that span, the fourth-year guard is averaging 15.5 points, 3.8 assists, 3.1 boards and 0.8 threes in 21.9 minutes.

February 13, 2026
Max Christie : Drops 19 in loss to Lakers

Christie finished Thursday's 124-104 loss to the Lakers with 19 points (7-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), one rebound, four assists and one steal in 30 minutes. The 19 points tied Naji Marshall (foot) for the team scoring lead. Christie heads into the All-Star break having scored in double digits in 10 of the last 12 games while averaging 16.4 points, 3.2 boards, 2.8 assists, 2.8 threes and 0.8 steals, but it remains to be seen what his role and usage will be once Kyrie Irving (knee) gets cleared to make his season debut.

February 13, 2026
Svi Mykhailiuk : Pops for 14 off bench

Mykhailiuk produced 14 points (5-8 FG, 4-5 3Pt), one rebound, three assists and one steal over 17 minutes off the bench during Thursday's 135-119 loss to Portland. The journeyman guard is on his eighth team in eight NBA seasons, and Mykhailiuk appears to be barely hanging onto a spot in the Jazz rotation after being a consistent presence in the starting five through the end of January. He hasn't come off the bench at all in the prior three games, but the 28-year-old has been productive when called upon, scoring at least 14 points in each of his last three appearances while going 10-for-15 from three-point range. His role will be very much in question once play resumes after the All-Star break.

February 13, 2026
Isaiah Collier : Productive in Thursday’s start

Collier contributed 15 points (3-8 FG, 9-12 FT), two rebounds, nine assists and three steals in 36 minutes before fouling out of Thursday's 135-119 loss to the Trail Blazers. Making his third straight start and sixth in seven February games while Keyonte George (ankle) remains sidelined, Collier just missed picking up his 10th double-double of the season. Four of those nine double-doubles have come this month, and he's averaging 17.3 points, 11.7 assists, 3.4 boards and 2.3 steals in February. The Jazz haven't been rushing George back into the lineup as they try to stay near the bottom of the standings, and the top of the lottery, so Collier's role won't necessarily shrink on the other side of the All-Star break.

However, it appears he is without restrictions at the beginning of Red Sox camp. The left-hander is competing for a spot in Boston's rotation this spring but will have to leap-frog a couple guys in the pecking order to secure a slot. Sandoval holds a career 4.01 ERA, 22.7 percent strikeout rate and 10.1 percent walk rate over six major-league seasons.

The righty remains a major health risk, but he'll be part of Atlanta's rotation as long as he can stay off the injured list. Holmes posted a 3.99 ERA and 123:54 K:BB over 115 frames in 2025 before getting hurt.

Reynaldo López : Locked into rotation spot

Atlanta president of baseball operations Alex Anthopoulos said Friday that Lopez will open the season in the team's rotation, Gabe Burns of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. Lopez is coming off a lost 2025 season, having made just one start before undergoing arthroscopic surgery on his pitching shoulder. He's in Atlanta's camp with a clean bill of health, although it will be interesting to see in spring training how his stuff looks post-surgery. Lopez was an All-Star for Atlanta in 2024, finishing with a 1.99 ERA and 148:42 K:BB over 135.2 innings.

Joey Loperfido : Heading back to Houston

The Astros acquired Loperfido from the Blue Jays on Friday in exchange for Jesus Sanchez. It's a return to his original organization for Loperfido, who broke into the big leagues with the Astros before being dealt to Toronto in the Yusei Kikuchi trade in July 2024. Loperfido hasn't gained a foothold yet in the majors, but he did hit well over 104 plate appearances last season, slashing .333/.379/.500 with four home runs. The 26-year-old will be in the mix for reps as part of a largely unproven outfield in Houston.

February 13, 2026
Jesús Sánchez : Shipped to Toronto

The Blue Jays acquired Sanchez from the Astros on Friday in exchange for Joey Loperfido. Sanchez slashed just .199/.269/.342 in 48 games for Houston down the stretch and the club wasn't anxious to give him another opportunity, so it swapped him for another outfielder. In Toronto, Sanchez figures to compete primarily with Nathan Lukes and Davis Schneider for playing time in left field.

February 13, 2026
Brayan Bello : Adding curveball to mix

Bello is re-introducing a curveball to his arsenal this spring, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports. With assistance from new teammate Ranger Suarez, Bello is expanding a complex arsenal that already includes a four-seamer, sinker, cutter, sweeper/slider and changeup. Bello, who came to the majors as a 23-year-old in 2022, threw a curve earlier in his career but lamented it never had the right shape or came from the proper arm slot, so the right-hander abandoned it. Red Sox pitching coach Andrew Bailey believes that Bello, through his experience at the MLB level, has developed to a point where he understands the benefits of horizontal and vertical breaks against hitters from either side of the plate. Commanding counts, limiting walks and avoiding lengthy at-bats has been key throughout his career that has toggled between brilliance and mediocrity. Adding the curveball gives him another weapon to serve that goal. Bello is projected to be fourth in Boston's rotation.

Spencer Steer : Addresses quad issue in offseason

Steer said Thursday that he cleaned up his sprinting mechanics to prevent re-injuring a quadriceps, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports. Steer got off to a slow start in 2025 because of a shoulder injury, but he admitted there was a right quadriceps issue that bothered him for most of the season. "I think that had to do with my sprinting mechanics, and I cleaned that stuff up," he said. That was likely the reason he stole just seven bases after reaching double-digit swipes in each of the previous two seasons. Steer, who earned a Gold Glove for his work at first base in 2025, will move around the diamond this season. His primary spot will be left field but depending on matchups, injuries and game situations, he could also see time in right field, and at first, second or third base.

Look for Draisaitl to remain Germany's most reliable offensive weapon, either as a scorer or as a playmaker.

Grubauer stopped 37 of 38 shots in Germany's 3-1 win over Denmark in the 2026 Olympics on Thursday.

Grubauer has an 11-6-3 record, 2.43 GAA and .916 save percentage in 22 outings with Seattle in 2025-26.

Gustavsson will make his second straight start for Sweden, allowing two goals on 22 shots in a 5-2 victory over Italy on Wednesday. The 27-year-old netminder is 20-9-6 with a 2.64 GAA and a .906 save percentage over 36 games this season for the Wild. The Finns have their backs against the wall after dropping a 4-1 decision to Slovakia on Wednesday.

February 13, 2026
Juuse Saros: Facing Sweden

Saros will be between the pipes versus Sweden on Friday at the 2026 Winter Olympics, according to Finnish reporter Ville Touro. Saros will make his second start for Finland after allowing three goals on 24 shots in a 4-1 loss to Slovakia on Wednesday. Saros is 21-17-5 with a 3.20 GAA and an .892 save percentage across 44 appearances for Nashville this season. It's a must-win game for Finland against their archrivals from Sweden, as another loss will severely hurt their chances of qualifying for the quarter-finals.

February 12, 2026
Jack Eichel: Two apples in Olympic opener

Eichel dished out two assists and placed three shots on goal in the United States' 5-1 win over Latvia in Olympic round-robin play Thursday. Eichel was the top playmaker for the United States' power play, as he recorded each of the primary helpers on the team's two goals scored with a man advantage. His first was on Tage Thompson's goal midway through the second period before later making the pass that led to a goal for team captain Auston Matthews. Prior to Eichel receiving the keys to the Americans' power play, he recorded 27 points across his last 18 games with the Golden Knights. The 29-year-old center should see a large chunk of ice time this tournament from the United States' top six.
