Kalen King 2005 CBPackers' Kalen King: Falls to Green Bay in Round 7
5m agoThe Packers selected King in the seventh round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 255th overall.
King entered this season with some buzz as a much earlier pick after leading the Big 10 in pass breakups as a true sophomore with 21. His pass breakup count dropped to just two in 12 games in 2023, and he had no interceptions. His combine performance further hurt his stock as he ran a 4.61 at 5-foot-11, 191 pounds. The Packers can dream on recapturing King's 2022 form because production like that is uncommon. They will also have to hope that they are not getting the player they saw in 2023.

Cornelius Johnson 2005 WRChargers' Cornelius Johnson: Joins Harbaugh in Los Angeles
6m agoThe Chargers selected Johnson in the seventh round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 253rd overall.
The popular assumption was the Chargers would invest a number of draft picks in former Michigan players to join Jim Harbaugh in his new digs, but Johnson represents just the second maize and blue to be drafted by Los Angeles. At 6-foot-3, 228 pounds, Johnson proved to be a capable receiver in his five seasons at Ann Arbor tallying 1,730 receiving yards and 119 receptions over the final three campaigns in the run-heavy offense. It's hard to imagine Johnson finally breaking out as a quality target despite all of his physical gifts, but at least alongside Harbaugh, he'll have some familiarity from a leadership perspective.

Jaylen Harrell 2005 LBTitans' Jaylen Harrell: Tennessee adds Round 7 pass rusher
10m agoThe Titans selected Harrell in the seventh round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 252nd overall.
Harrell is a fringe prospect for a reason -- namely, he's unrefined as a pass rusher and doesn't have much variety of moves to work around blockers -- but as far as seventh-round picks go he can't be a bad value. Harrell was a prominent contributor on Michigan's National Championship-winning defense, and at 6-foot-4, 250 pounds he boasts a 40-yard dash time around the 4.70-second range. Those are good enough athletic tools for the NFL, so it's just on Harrell to develop his skill set a bit more to become more consistently disruptive.

Tatum Bethune 2005 LB49ers' Tatum Bethune: Links up with San Francisco
12m agoThe 49ers selected Bethune in the seventh round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 251st overall.
Bethune is a seasoned linebacker who appeared in 61 games over five seasons at Florida State. He lacks speed (4.75) for his size (5-foot-11, 229) and was known to overpursue plays during his time in college. Special teams will likely be his meal ticket in the early going, but landing in San Francisco is a good spot for him to develop given the franchise's success in unearthing gems at this position late in drafts.
-
Devin Culp 2005 TEBuccaneers' Devin Culp: Tight end depth for Tampa Bay
16m agoThe Buccaneers selected Culp in the seventh round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 246th overall.
Culp is an athletic tight end who serves as a flier for Tampa Bay in the final round of the draft. He was a member of the explosive Washington offense in 2023, but was limited to only 16 catches for 208 yards. He struggled to remain on the field consistently as a tight end, but he was part of kick and punt coverage units -- which is likely also his clearest path to an NFL roster.
-
LaDarius Henderson 2005 IOLTexans' LaDarius Henderson: Winds up in Houston
18m agoThe Texans selected Henderson in the seventh round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 249th overall.
Henderson actually started for Arizona State when he was just 17 years old, but he eventually transferred to Ann Arbor in his final season and started for the national-title winning team. Throughout his five career collegiate seasons, Henderson started 20 games at tackle and another 19 at guard, so his versatility could be useful for the Texans' offensive line depth.

Christopher Morel CHC 3BCubs' Christopher Morel: Emerges from fall uninjured
1m agoCubs manager Craig Counsell said Morel "is fine" after exiting Saturday's game versus the Red Sox after the seventh inning following a fall in the outfield, CHGO Cubs reports.
Morel toppled over left fielder Alexander Canario after making a running catch and landed hard on the ground. He looked to be in some pain and was removed from the game at that point. However, it sounds like he probably would've remained in if the score hadn't been so lopsided. It does not appear fantasy managers need to have any worries about Morel's status.

Yusei Kikuchi TOR SPBlue Jays' Yusei Kikuchi: Hit hard in Saturday's loss
3m agoKikuchi (2-2) took the loss Saturday, giving up four runs on nine hits over six innings as the Blue Jays fell 4-2 to the Dodgers. He struck out three without walking a batter.
While the southpaw did manage to keep the ball in the yard, he still gave up some very loud contact, including three extra-base hits and an RBI single by Shohei Ohtani in the second inning that left his bat with a stunning exit velocity of 119.2 mph. Kikuchi saw his quality start streak end at three, but he'll take a strong 2.94 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 36:8 K:BB through 33.2 innings into his next outing, which lines up to come on the road next weekend against the Nationals.

Mookie Betts LAD SSDodgers' Mookie Betts: Steals eighth bag
9m agoBetts went 3-for-5 with a triple, a run scored, an RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Blue Jays.
The 31-year-old extended his current hitting streak to seven games with his fourth straight multi-hit performance, and he also swiped a bag for the third straight contest. Betts is having a monster start to the season, slashing .391/.489/.661 through 115 plate appearances with six homers, eight steals, 23 RBI and 29 runs, and while it's early, he's firmly on pace for the second 30-30 campaign of his career.
-
Byron Buxton MIN CFTwins' Byron Buxton: Resting Saturday
27m agoBuxton isn't in the Twins' lineup Saturday against the Angels.
Buxton will sit down for the start of Saturday's contest after going 1-for-5 with an RBI during Friday's series opener. Alex Kirilloff, Austin Martin and Max Kepler will start across the outfield in his absence, and Trevor Larnach will serve as the Twins' designated hitter.
-
Jose Miranda MIN 3BTwins' Jose Miranda: Not starting Saturday
29m agoMiranda isn't in the Twins' lineup for Saturday's game against the Angels.
Miranda will catch a breather Saturday after stringing together back-to-back multi-hit performances in his last two games. Kyle Farmer will get the nod at the hot corner instead and bat eighth.
-
Evan Phillips LAD RPDodgers' Evan Phillips: Notches eighth save
31m agoPhillips gave up an unearned run on one hit and struck out two Saturday to record his eighth save of the season in a 4-2 win over the Blue Jays.
The closer's own throwing error with two outs put Davis Schneider aboard and led to Toronto's final run, but Phillips otherwise had little trouble sealing the victory. The right-hander is a perfect 8-for-8 in converting save chances to begin the season, and he's delivered a dazzling 0.77 ERA and 15:4 K:BB through 11.2 innings.
-
Christian Wood LAL PFLakers' Christian Wood: Will play Saturday
21m agoWood (knee) will be available for Game 4 against the Nuggets on Saturday, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.
Wood will finally return after a prolonged absence, as he hasn't stepped on the court since Feb. 14. He's expected to have a role off the bench and will compete for frontcourt minutes with Jaxson Hayes, though by all accounts, his role will be minimal Saturday.
-
Anthony Davis LAL CLakers' Anthony Davis: Will play in Game 4
22m agoDavis (wrist) will play in Saturday's Game 4 versus Denver, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.
Davis popped up as questionable on the injury report with a left wrist sprain after previously battling a back injury and some soreness in both heels. But with Los Angeles' season on the line, Davis will continue to push through his ailments.
-
Chris Livingston MIL SFBucks' Chris Livingston: Won't play Sunday
34m agoLivingston (illness) will not play in Sunday's Game 4 versus the Pacers.
Livingston has rarely seen the floor for the Bucks this season, as he averaged 4.3 minutes across 21 regular season appearances.
-
Olivier-Maxence Prosper DAL SFMavericks' Olivier-Maxence Prosper: Out for Game 4
37m agoProsper (ankle) will not play in Sunday's Game 4 versus the Clippers.
Prosper will sit out for a second straight game Sunday. He's not typically in the rotation for Dallas, so there aren't many fantasy implications here.
-
Damian Lillard MIL PGBucks' Damian Lillard: Doubtful for Game 4
1h agoLillard (Achilles) is doubtful for Sunday's Game 4 versus the Pacers,
A report from Shams Charania of The Athletic on Friday hinted at this, but now the Bucks have officially listed Lillard as doubtful on their injury report. Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) is also doubtful, so the Bucks will need guys like Khris Middleton, Bobby Portis and Brook Lopez to step up offensively.
-
Joel Embiid PHI C76ers' Joel Embiid: Questionable for Game 4
1h agoEmbiid (knee) is questionable for Sunday's Game 4 versus the Knicks.
Embiid has been listed as questionable for every game in this series so far, but he continues to push through his knee issue and his mild case of Bell's palsy that has affected his eye. During Thursday's Game 3 win, Embiid finished with 50 points (13-19 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 19-21 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and one block across 41 minutes.
-
Jani Hakanpaa DAL DStars' Jani Hakanpaa: Not practicing
1h agoHakanpaa (lower body) has yet to return to practice, Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News reports Saturday.
Hakanpaa is likely not an option for Saturday's Game 3 or Monday's Game 4, and if the Stars don't win one of those games, their season is over. Hakanpaa's continued absence will keep Nils Lundkvist in the lineup on the third pairing. Hakanpaa can be considered out indefinitely until he resumes practicing with the team.
-
Haydn Fleury TB DLightning's Haydn Fleury: Won't play Saturday
2h agoFleury (undisclosed) isn't expected to play in Game 4 against Florida on Saturday, per the NHL media site.
Fleury had a goal, five points, 31 hits and 40 blocks in 24 regular-season outings. He hasn't been in the lineup since April 6 because of the injury. If Fleury had been available for Game 4, he might have served as the seventh defenseman or been a healthy scratch.
-
Mikhail Sergachev TB DLightning's Mikhail Sergachev: Surprise return Saturday
3h agoSergachev (leg) was activated off long-term injured reserve, per the NHL media site, which sets him up to return for Game 4 against Florida on Saturday.
Sergachev was previously ruled out for the entire first round, so this news is a huge surprise. However, Tampa Bay is down 3-0 in the series, so if the defenseman didn't come back now, then it might have been too late. He had two goals, 19 points, 36 hits and 70 blocks in 34 regular-season appearances. While Sergachev typically serves in a top-four capacity, his minutes might be limited in his first contest since February 7.
-
Andrei Vasilevskiy TB GLightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Starting Game 4
3h agoVasilevskiy will protect the home net Saturday versus Florida in Game 4, per Chris Krenn of the Lightning's official site.
Vasilevskiy has gone 0-3 this postseason, surrendering nine goals on 94 shots (.904 save percentage). The Lightning need a victory Saturday to avoid a four-game sweep, and the team should get a boost from having Mikhail Sergachev (leg) back in the lineup.
-
Brenden Dillon WPG DJets' Brenden Dillon: Questionable for Sunday
3h agoDillon didn't receive any muscle or tendon damage as a result of the skate cut to his hand, which occurred during a scrum at the end of Friday's 6-2 loss to Colorado in Game 3. Although it's great news that he didn't suffer a more serious injury, the 33-year-old defenseman did require stitches and remains questionable for Game 4 versus the Avalanche on Sunday, Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press reports Saturday.
Dillon has three assists, four PIM, 12 hits and six blocks while averaging 21:04 of ice time across three playoff contests this year. He also accumulated eight goals, 20 points, 92 PIM, 241 hits and 111 blocks in 77 regular-season outings. If Dillon is forced to miss any action due to the injury, then Logan Stanley will likely draw into the lineup.
-
Derek Forbort BOS DBruins' Derek Forbort: Removed from LTIR
4h agoForbort (undisclosed) was activated from long-term injured reserve Saturday, per the NHL media site.
Forbort sat out the final 20 games of the regular season and Boston's first three playoff contests. He will be an option to play in Game 4 against Toronto on Saturday, but it wouldn't be surprising if he served as a healthy scratch. The 32-year-old blueliner earned four assists, 22 shots on goal, 65 blocked shots and 68 hits in 35 appearances during the 2023-24 campaign.
