B. McCain - DB

MIA

Free agent S Bobby McCain will visit the Washington Football Team on Monday.

It's a quick visit after McCain was waived by the Dolphins on Thursday. McCain is still only 28 years old (in August), and the Football Team could use some help at the back end. McCain is experienced but largely replacement level at safety.

C. Leno - OT

CHI

Free agent OT Charles Leno will visit the Washington Football Team on Monday.

Still trying to replace Trent Williams one year after the fact, the Football Team used a second-round pick on Sam Cosmi. Leno would offer an experienced alternative if the No. 51 overall pick is deemed unready. The Football Team is Leno's first scheduled visit after he was surprisingly cut by the Bears on Monday.

B. Christensen - OL

CAR

Panthers LT Brady Christensen in 2020 received the highest grade Pro Football Focus has ever given to a collegiate offensive lineman.

Christensen, the BYU product taken in the third round by the Panthers -- who had hoped to drafted Oregon LT Penei Sewell -- is the odds-on favorite to start the 2021 season as Carolina's left tackle. The team has sought a reliable left tackle since 2013, when Jordan Gross retired. Christensen's PFF grade of 96 last season was an all-time high as he allowed two pressures on BYU QB Zach Wilson on 293 pass plays. “He comes from that pro-style offense at BYU so he’s done the things that we are asking guys to do,” Panthers head coach Matt Rhule said. “He’s been doing it there. He’s a tackle candidate that can also go inside and play guard. Again, a great, great, great athlete. Intelligence, the whole package.” Carolina's offensive line was leaky for some of the 2020 season; PFF graded them as the 18th best pass blocking unit. Carolina landing Christensen and WR Terrace Marshall are big wins for Sam Darnold.

J. Badet - WR

WAS

Washington Football Team waived WR Jeff Badet.

Badet, 26, was active for three games last year; he did not record a target or reception. The Football Team signed Badet -- who entered the league with Minnesota as an undrafted free agent in 2018 -- after a stint in the XFL. He could wind up on a practice squad this summer.

J. Bates - TE

Washington Football Team selected Boise State TE John Bates with the No. 124 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft.

Bates' (6'5/250) extensive experience on special teams (525 snaps) was his calling card across 46 career games at Boise State. He caught only 47 balls in four years, though that includes 12 in three games as a senior. Although he holds Oregon state titles in javelin and the 110-meter hurdles, Bates underwhelmed as a 29th percentile athlete at his pro day and failed to record a single red zone touchdown in four seasons with the Broncos. With just four broken tackles on 47 career catches, how he performs as an in-line blocker in camp will ultimately determine how many games he's actually active for his rookie year. Bates doesn't have the looks of an intriguing Dynasty league prospect.

A. Rodgers - QB

Profootballtalk's Mike Florio reports Aaron Rodgers' trade "wish list" is the 49ers, Broncos and Raiders.

Florio reports it's "not necessarily in that order," but that he was hoping the Packers would work something out when the 49ers contacted them earlier this week. Florio also says the report is via an "unimpeachable source." ESPN's Adam Schefter reports teams have reached out this offseason, but that no one has made a formal offer. Schefter's ex-colleague Trey Wingo reports the Packers told Rodgers he would be dealt before walking it back, leading to the current imbroglio. The Packers are not breaking publicly yet, but it is difficult to see how this genie goes back in the bottle.

A. Rodgers - QB

Profootballtalk's Mike Florio reports Aaron Rodgers "could be traded this weekend."

Florio's report is via a "source with knowledge of dynamics." Meanwhile, FOX's Jay Glazer reports he believes Rodgers is "strongly convicted that he doesn’t want to go back to Packers." ESPN's Adam Schefter reports Rodgers' unhappiness is "about way more than a new contract." The Packers are predictably putting on a brave public face and insisting Rodgers will remain with the team for 2021. Piecing together past hour of reports, it would appear the sides were engaged in rocky extension talks that have since broken down, seemingly all the way down. If Rodgers is truly available as early as this weekend, it greatly complicates the 49ers' plans at No. 3 overall, while the Panthers are another obvious possibility. This story seems to have jet fuel behind it, so we should learn more as Thursday rolls on.

J. Fields - QB

CHI

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports Ohio State QB Justin Fields is managing epilepsy but it is not expected to interfere with his ability to play football.

Nothing says "draft season" like the disclosure of minor medical details. Epilepsy is a neurological disorder that can cause seizures. Rapoport added that doctors believe Fields will outgrow his epilepsy as his family members have. This should have little to no effect on his draft stock.

B. Love - RB

WAS

Former Washington Football Team RB Bryce Love went unclaimed on waivers.

Love tore his ACL in his final game at Stanford in 2019. Washington then selected him in the fourth round of the draft, knowing his rookie season would be lost to the recovery timetable. He made Washington's final roster in 2020 but was made a healthy scratch for three weeks before landing on IR with a setback in his knee. He did not come off IR and was waived this spring. Love managed to earn solid draft capital despite the redshirt season he faced and has a 2,000-yard season to his name in college. However, going unclaimed on waivers, which would have only cost a team $780K in non-guaranteed money is a bad look for the 23-year-old. He'll look to earn a name for himself as a depth signing in the summer with a good training camp showing possibly netting him one of 53 roster spots.

T. Lance - QB

Washington Football Team officials won't attend Trey Lance's pro day.

ESPN's John Keim said he "would not read anything into their absence" after Washington officials attended Lance's first pro day workout. Football Team general manager Martin Mayhew all but admitted last week that the organization was out on Lance, who has 16 games of college experience. "Anytime you see guys with limited time on the job, that is a concern for me with the quarterback position," Mayhew said. Washington, with the draft's 19th pick, would have to move into the top-four picks to ensure a shot at Lance; that doesn't seem likely. Ryan Fitzpatrick and Taylor Heinicke will probably battle it out for the team's Week 1 starting job.

R. Fitzpatrick - QB

WAS

Washington Football Team general manager Martin Mayhew said the team is "very confident and comfortable with the quarterbacks on our roster now."

Smoke screens are being erected at an extraordinary pace in the run-up to the 2021 NFL Draft, but Mayhew's comments seem genuine. Mayhew indicated the Football Team would hesitate to draft a quarterback prospect like North Dakota State's Trey Lance, who has been linked to Washington in recent weeks. "Anytime you see guys with limited time on the job, that is a concern for me with the quarterback position," Mayhew said Friday. Lance played a mere 16 games in his college career. The team would have to trade up from its No. 19 draft slot if it had any shot at landing Lance (or another top QB prospect). Ryan Fitzpatrick remains the odds-on favorite to start Week 1.

T. Lance - QB

The Athletic's Michael Lombardi reports the Washington Football Team could "unload all their picks" to move up in the NFL Draft and select North Dakota State's Trey Lance.

"I think they love Lance. I don't think, I know Washington loves Lance," Lombardi said on a recent GM Shuffle Pod. "I think they're willing to go get him." The Football Team trading away a bunch of picks to move into Atlanta's No. 4 draft spot would upend the entire draft, changing plans for most teams outside the top five or six selections. Lance in Washington would hardly be ideal for Terry McLaurin, as the Football Team would most likely operate a run-heavy offense centered on Lance and Antonio Gibson. Even if he gets the Week 1 gig, Ryan Fitzpatrick could once again be usurped by a rookie if Washington lands Lance.

K. Thomas - SG

HOU

Khyri Thomas came off the bench and hit 6-of-15 shots and two 3-pointers for 18 points, four rebounds and five assists in 29 minutes of Monday's 140-129 loss to the Blazers.

Thomas' career high in Detroit was 13 points, yet he's scored 16, 27 and 18 points in his three games with the Rockets this season. And after losing Danuel House tonight to an ankle injury, Thomas should be able to keep it going until the end of the season. He had 27 points, five rebounds, three assists, five steals, two blocks and four 3-pointers on Saturday and should be rostered everywhere for the rest of the week.

N/A

D. Augustin - PG

HOU

D.J. Augustin started for the Rockets and hit 6-of-10 shots and four 3-pointers for 21 points, two rebounds and two assists in 25 minutes of Monday's loss to the Blazers.

He's been alternating good games with bad ones and is seeing solid run with Kevin Porter Jr. out with a sprained left ankle. We'd rather see a young guy like Armoni Brooks get those minutes, but as long as DJA is starting for the Blazers he's worth a look in fantasy.

Added 12:58 am (EST)

R. Lehner - G

VGK

Robin Lehner allowed two goals on 21 shots in Monday's 2-1 home loss against the Colorado Avalanche.

Lehner was staked to a 1-0 lead when Alex Pietrangelo lit the lamp with helpers to captain Mark Stone and Nicolas Hague at 8:11 of the first period. It stayed that way until Andre Burakovsky beat Lehner at 7:04 of the second period. The game was tied until J.T. Compher pushed the Avs into the lead for good midway through the third. Lehner slips to 13-4-2 with 2.29 goals-against average and .913 save percentage, and that's likely how he will end his regular season with just one game to play and Marc-Andre Fleury likely to start the finale Wednesday in San Jose.

K. Martin - SF

HOU

KJ Martin hit 5-of-9 shots and three 3-pointers for 15 points, nine rebounds, four assists, two steals and a block in 39 minutes of Monday's 140-129 loss to the Blazers.

He played more minutes than any of his teammates and his 15 points came after he went for 27, 26 and 23 points in his previous three games. He's been stealing and hitting 3-pointers all month and has four steals in his last two games. He should be on every fantasy roster imaginable at this point, especially with Danuel House aggravating his ankle injury tonight and possibly ending his season.

J. Compher - F

COL

J.T. Compher posted his seventh goal of the season in Monday's 2-1 road win against the Vegas Golden Knights.

Compher was helped out by Conor Timmins and Alex Newhook at 11:33 of the third period, breaking a 1-1 tie, and he ended up securing his first game winner since March 25, which was also against VGK. He has points in back-to-back games for the first time since March 29-31, too. Compher might not be someone you'd normally bother with in most seasonal fantasy pools, but he is someone to watch in deeper postseason pools.

A. Newhook - F

COL

Alex Newhook posted two assists in Monday's 2-1 road win against the Vegas Golden Knights.

Newhook entered the game with one helper and a plus-3 rating, so this was obviously his first-ever multi-point game. The 16th overall pick by the Avalanche in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft is starting to get his chance to play, and he is fitting in, posting three helpers across his first four NHL games. He has a plus-1 in each of his four outings so far. He isn't someone to focus upon heading into postseason fantasy pools, but he is a player those in long-term dynasty formats will want to keep an eye on.

D. House - SF

HOU

Danuel House tweaked his tender right ankle on Monday night and played just 13 minutes, finishing with six points.

The ankle injury has been lingering for a month and given that the Rockets have nothing to play for, his season might be over. And that just means more goodies for guys like Jae'Sean Tate, KJ Martin, D.J. Augustin, Khyri Thomas, Cameron Oliver and Armoni Brooks going forward.

K. Olynyk - C

HOU

Kelly Olynyk scored 17 points in the first half and finished with 21 points, eight rebounds, six assists, two steals and a 3-pointer, and hit 10-of-10 free throws in Monday's tough 140-129 loss to the Blazers.

Olynyk has had an incredible season for the Rockets and is one of the more underrated fantasy players around right now. He was in serious foul trouble for the second half and was quiet until the end, but he still put up a fun stat line in 29 minutes. Olynyk has been worth a sixth-round fantasy pick this season, despite being picked up off waivers in many leagues.
