  • Jarvis Brownlee Jr. TEN DB
    Titans' Jarvis Brownlee: Earns starting gig as rookie
    14m ago

    Brownlee made 75 tackles (46 solo) across 17 regular-season games with the Titans in 2024. He also had nine passes defensed, including one interception, plus one fumble recovery.

    Brownlee claimed essentially an every-down role in the slot from Week 6 on, after the Titans' bye. The 2024 fifth-round pick isn't necessarily guaranteed to reprise a starting role during the 2025 campaign if Tennessee adds at the position, but he enters the offseason with an opportunity to solidify his standing.

  • Adam Thielen CAR WR
    Panthers' Adam Thielen: Plans to continue career
    20m ago

    Thielen relayed Thursday that he intends to continue his playing career during the 2025 season, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

    Thielen has one year remaining on the three-year, $25 million deal that he signed with the Panthers in March 2023. In two campaigns in Carolina, he has one 1,000-yard season under his belt (2023), averaged 10.8 YPC and 8.2 YPT and scored nine touchdowns in 27 games. Even as he enters his age-35 season, Thielen clearly still has something to give to what appears to be an ascendant offense under the direction of 2023 top overall pick Bryce Young.

  • Jeremy Chinn WAS SS
    Commanders' Jeremy Chinn: Tops 100 tackles for third time
    35m ago

    Chinn finished the 2024 regular season with 117 tackles (73 solo), five pass defenses, two sacks, two fumble recoveries, one interception and one forced fumble in 17 games.

    Chinn signed a one-year, $4.1 million contract with Washington last offseason, following a four-year stint with the Panthers. He bounced back from disappointing, injury-plagued seasons in 2022 and 2023, finishing top five among defensive backs in tackles for the third time in his career (2020-21). While he may never be a standout in coverage, Chinn should get plenty of offers to be a starting strong safety if the Commanders don't re-sign him before the beginning of the 2025 league year in mid-March.

    Commanders' Bobby Wagner: Shines in first year with Washington
    41m ago

    Wagner finished the 2024 regular season with 132 tackles (75 solo), four pass defenses, two sacks, two fumble recoveries and one forced fumble in 17 games.

    Wagner's IDP value took a hit relative to recent seasons, but his real-life performance remained strong, with the Commanders more than getting their money's worth on a one-year, $6.5 million contract. The 34-year-old was a Second Team All-Pro and earned his 10th Pro Bowl nomination, with he and fellow linebacker Frankie Luvu quickly emerging as the top players on Washington's defense under new coach Dan Quinn. The Commanders presumably will try to re-sign Wagner, but they'll have healthy competition for his services if a contract isn't completed before the start of the new league year.

    Commanders' Zane Gonzalez: Fills in capably for Seibert
    1h ago

    Gonzalez made six regular-season appearances and three playoff appearances for the Commanders in 2024, en route to converting 12 of 15 field-goal attempts and all 27 PATs.

    The Commander signed Gonzalez in November as a replacement for Austin Seibert, who missed the final two months of the regular season and all of the postseason with a hip injury. Gonzalez filled in capably, making his first regular-season appearances since 2021 and missing only three kicks in nine games. He's scheduled for unrestricted free agency this offseason and will turn 30 in May.

  • Chris Rodriguez Jr. WAS RB
    Commanders' Chris Rodriguez: Finishes season with 173 rush yards
    1h ago

    Rodriguez finished the 2024 regular season with 35 carries for 173 yards and two touchdowns and one catch for 12 yards.

    The 2023 sixth-round pick spent much of the season on Washington's practice squad and was a healthy scratch for the final two playoff games, but he also had a few chances to handle a significant role when the team was missing either Brian Robinson or Austin Ekeler, both of whom are under contract through 2025. Rodriguez is set to be an exclusive rights free agent, which means he'll likely be back with the Commanders in a depth role at the league-minimum salary for a third-year player. There is some chance Rodriguez gets an opportunity to move up the depth chart, as he's averaged 4.9 yards on 86 career carries after a prolific college career at Kentucky.

    Pirates' Endy Rodriguez: Feeling fully healthy
    1h ago

    Rodriguez (elbow) said his swing feels 100 percent as he enters spring training, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

    Rodriguez missed nearly the entire 2024 season while recovering from elbow surgery. However, his sights will be set on a big-league roster spot entering 2025, as the Pirates depth chart at catcher is ambiguous following Joey Bart. Rodriguez did acknowledge that he will likely experience some rust early in spring, so his exhibition stats may not be particularly impressive.

    Giants' Osleivis Basabe: Traded to San Francisco

    The Giants acquired Basabe from the Rays on Thursday in exchange for cash considerations, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Basabe had been designated for assignment and is now on the move to a new organization. The 24-year-old missed much of 2024 due to injury and, when on the field, slashed only .248/.293/.336 over 66 contests at Triple-A Durham. Basabe is a versatile defender and is projected to serve as utility depth at Triple-A Sacramento.

  • Brooks Baldwin CHW SS
    White Sox's Brooks Baldwin: Chance to begin season at SS
    1h ago

    Baldwin could begin the 2025 season as the White Sox starting shortstop, Chris Getz of MLB.com reports.

    The White Sox have a particularly uncertain outlook at shortstop, with Baldwin, Colson Montgomery and Chase Meidroth all potential candidates. Baldwin has the advantage of big-league experience as well as defensive versatility. His big-league debut didn't go well in 2024 -- he maintained a .249 wOBA and 58 wRC+ in 121 plate appearances -- but his ability to play second base and shortstop as well as some outfield should keep him in consideration for a significant role to begin the 2025 campaign.

  • Jacob Melton HOU OF
    Astros' Jacob Melton: Darkhorse for roster spot
    2h ago

    Melton could push to make the Opening Day roster in 2025, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com suggests.

    Melton progressed to Triple-A Sugar Land in 2024, accruing 192 plate appearances at the level. However, he managed only a 78 wRC+ and is not yet on the team's 40-man roster. That combination makes him a longshot to open the year in Houston, though he has significant power and speed tools, so if he does earn playing time he could quickly emerge on the fantasy radar. In addition, the Astros have an unresolved outfield and Melton is capable of playing all three spots.

  • Colton Gordon HOU SP
    Astros' Colton Gordon: Debut could come in 2025
    2h ago

    Gordon will serve as a rotational depth option for the Astros in 2025, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

    Gordon is a longshot to secure a rotation spot during spring training, but Houston added him to the 40-man roster this offseason. That makes him a name to monitor given the lack of healthy depth options the Astros are projected to have for their starting staff. Gordon has a decent skillset, as he maintained a 16.3 K-BB% across 123.1 innings with Triple-A Sugar Land in 2024. However, he has a poor fastball, which could lead to inconsistent results as he seeks to establish himself in the majors.

  • Ryan Gusto HOU SP
    Astros' Ryan Gusto: Competing for depth role
    2h ago

    Gusto will have the chance to compete for the fifth rotation spot for Houston, but he is more likely to establish himself as a depth option, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

    The Astros have four clear members of the rotation to begin the season, though they are depleted by injuries thereafter. Hayden Wesneski is the likeliest occupant of the final rotation spot, but Gusto is on the radar after a solid 2024 season at Triple-A Sugar Land, where he posted a 141:53 K:BB across across 148.1 innings while maintaining a 3.70 ERA and 1.26 WHIP. Gusto was also set to make his big-league debut on the final day of the 2024 regular season before the game was rained out.

    Raptors' James Wiseman: Shipped to Toronto
    6m ago

    The Pacers traded Wiseman (Achilles) and cash to the Raptors on Thursday, ESPN's Shams Charania reports.

    Wiseman has already been ruled out for the remainder of the season with a torn Achilles, but he could be ready for the start of the 2025-26 season. It's unclear if Toronto will keep him around, as he has a $2.55 million team option for next season. Wiseman holds career averages of 9.1 points, 5.6 rebounds and 0.7 blocks in 18.9 minutes across 148 appearances.

    Clippers' MarJon Beauchamp: Traded to Clippers
    12m ago

    The Bucks traded Beauchamp to the Clippers in exchange for Kevin Porter, according to NBA reporter Chris Haynes.

    The writing has been on the wall for a while for Beauchamp, as the Bucks previously declined his $4.78 million team option for 2025-26. He made a total of 26 appearances for the Bucks this season with an average of 4.7 minutes per game. Unfortunately for the forward, minutes will not be easier to come by in Los Angeles.

    Clippers' Kevin Porter: Traded to Bucks
    13m ago

    Porter was traded from the Clippers to the Bucks on Thursday for MarJon Beauchamp, NBA reporter Chris Haynes reports.

    Beauchamp wasn't part of Milwaukee's future plans, so the organization moved him for backcourt talent. Porter was playing a bench role for the Clippers and will most likely continue doing so for the Bucks. In 19.6 minutes per game, he's averaging 9.3 points on 42/25/65 shooting, 3.6 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.0 steals.

    Richardson will be rerouted to the Jazz as part of the Jimmy Butler trade, according to NBA reporter Jake Fischer.

    Richardson was initially sent from Miami to Detroit, only to be dealt to Utah less than 24 hours later. Richardson, who is still sidelined by a troublesome heel issue, is unlikely to be in Utah's long-term plans as they are in the early stages of a rebuild.

  • Marcus Smart MEM PG
    Wizards' Marcus Smart: Traded to Washington
    20m ago

    The Grizzlies traded Smart and a 2025 first-round pick to the Wizards on Thursday in exchange for two second-round picks, ESPN's Shams Charania reports.

    Smart has struggled with injuries this season, limiting him to 19 appearances with the Grizzlies. His playing time was way down as well, as Smart averaged 21.1 minutes per contest with 8.7 points, 3.7 assists, 2.3 rebounds and 1.2 steals while shooting 35.8 percent from the field and 32.2 percent from beyond the arc. In Washington, Smart could have a lot more opportunity as a leader in that backcourt, but he'll be 31 in March and the Wizards are in the early stages of a rebuild. That means player development could be their focus in the final months of the season.

    Kovalenko (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Thursday, per Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News.

    This move frees a roster spot for Ty Dellandrea (upper body) to be activated off injured reserve. Kovalenko won't return until after the 4 Nations Face-Off -- the Sharks first game following the tournament will be Feb. 23 versus Calgary.

    Marner missed Tuesday's win over Calgary due to his lower-body injury, but he'll be back in action following a one-game absence. Prior to his absence, the 27-year-old had put forth multi-point performances in five of his last 13 appearances, racking up three goals, 16 assists, 11 hits, five blocked shots, four PIM and a plus-7 rating while averaging 21:41 of ice time across that span.

    Stolarz will be between the pipes for the first time since Dec. 12 versus the Ducks, a stretch of 24 games on the shelf due to his knee injury. With Stolarz back in action, Matt Murray figures to be shipped down to the minors while Stolarz and Joseph Woll split the starting duties in Toronto.
