Damontae Kazee PIT SSSteelers' Damontae Kazee: Sees reduced role in 2024
8m agoKazee finished the 2024 regular season with 31 tackles (22 solo) and two pass defenses, including an interception, over 15 games.
Kazee started just one game this season after working mostly as a starter last year. Predictably, his numbers plummeted, though he still managed to record a pickoff for the fourth straight campaign. Kazee is set to become a free agent, and though he's been steady regardless of his role while with Pittsburgh, it's unclear if he'll be back with the Steelers next season.

Keeanu Benton PIT NTSteelers' Keeanu Benton: Logs more snaps in second season
1h agoBenton finished the 2024 regular season with 36 tackles (16 solo), including 1.0 sacks, along with six defensed passes (one of which was an interception) and one fumble recovery over 17 contests.
Benton has yet to miss a game in his two-year NFL career. He was on the field more often this season than in his rookie campaign -- last year, he logged over 50 percent of Pittsburgh's defensive snaps four times, while this season that number shot up to 13. However, Benton produced the exact same number of tackles and sacks, though he did boost his tally of pass defenses by four. His numbers aren't appealing in IDP leagues, but Benton has shown promise in his first two pro seasons and should maintain a steady role along Pittsburgh's defensive line in the third year of his rookie contract next season.

Donte Jackson PIT CBSteelers' Donte Jackson: Sets career high in INTs in 2024
1h agoJackson registered 38 tackles (28 solo) and eight pass defenses, including five interceptions, over 15 games during the 2024 regular season.
Jackson's first year in Pittsburgh following six seasons with Carolina was overall a success, as he paced the team with five pickoffs, which was also his career-best mark. The LSU product mostly avoided injuries, though he did miss two games near the end of the campaign with a back issue. Jackson was playing on a one-year contract and will be a free agent this offseason.

Larry Ogunjobi PIT DESteelers' Larry Ogunjobi: Remains consistent in 2024
2h agoOgunjobi posted 41 tackles, including 1.5 sacks, over 15 regular-season contests during the 2024 campaign.
Ogunjobi missed two games due to a groin injury late in the campaign but otherwise maintained a steady role along the Steelers' defensive line. He's finished with a tackle total in the 40s in five straight seasons and has logged between 1.5 and 3.0 sacks in all but one of those campaigns. Ogunjobi doesn't produce numbers that make him worthy of IDP consideration, but he's been a steady performer and will likely maintain the same role in 2025, when he'll be in the final year of the three-year deal he inked in 2023.
-
Beanie Bishop Jr. PIT CBSteelers' Beanie Bishop: Makes big impact as rookie
2h agoBishop tallied 45 tackles, including 0.5 sacks, along with seven pass defenses (four of which were interceptions) and one fumble recovery over 17 regular-season games in 2024.
Though Bishop had his share of struggles, it was impressive that he played in all 17 regular-season games given that he wasn't selected in April's NFL Draft. The West Virginia product notched three pickoffs during a two-week span in late October, and his four total INTs tied for second on the team. Bishop did see his playing time wane at the end of the campaign and into the playoffs, but he likely showed enough as a rookie to be given a chance to grow in Year 2.
-
Alex Highsmith PIT OLBSteelers' Alex Highsmith: Deals with injuries in 2024
3h agoHighsmith finished the 2024 regular season with 45 tackles, including 6.0 sacks, along with two pass defenses and a forced fumble in 11 contests.
While Highsmith had one less sack than in 2023, his total came in six fewer games. The veteran linebacker missed time with injuries to both his groin and ankle, but when active he was a key contributor for Pittsburgh's defense. Highsmith should remain in that role next season in what will be the second year of the four-year extension he signed last July.
-
Will Klein ATH RPMariners' Will Klein: Traded to Seattle
7h agoThe Athletics traded Klein to the Mariners on Tuesday in exchange for international slot money.
After the trade, Klein was added to Seattle's 40-man roster. The right-hander was designated for assignment Friday, but he had the tools to drive interest of other clubs. The Mariners will be the hard thrower's third ball club after beginning his career with the Royals.
-
Chase Burns CIN SPReds' Chase Burns: Receives spring training invite
8h agoThe Reds have extended Burns an invitation to big-league camp during spring training.
Burns has yet to make his professional debut after being taken with the second pick of the 2024 First-Year Player Draft, but the Reds will give the young right-hander a look-see in spring training. Cam Collier, Sal Stewart and Edwin Arroyo are among the team's other top prospects that will be in big-league camp.
-
Ron Marinaccio CHW RPWhite Sox's Ron Marinaccio: Designated for assignment
8h agoThe White Sox designated Marinaccio for assignment Tuesday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
The club needed to free up a spot on its 40-man roster with the signing of Martin Perez becoming official. Marinaccio was a waiver claim late last season and hasn't made an appearance for the White Sox. The 29-year-old holds a 3.22 ERA and 137:61 K:BB over 114.2 relief innings at the big-league level and could draw interest via trade or waivers.
-
Michael Kopech LAD SPDodgers' Michael Kopech: Dealing with forearm inflammation
8h agoKopech could miss the first month of the season due to right forearm inflammation, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.
Kopech battled a forearm issue during the playoffs, although it never got to the point where he was unavailable to pitch. There's no indication the injury has gotten worse since then, with Nightengale noting that Kopech does not have any structural damage. However, the Dodgers are opting to take things slowly with the hard-throwing reliever. Once healthy, Kopech figures to be in the mix for saves, along with Tanner Scott, Kirby Yates, Blake Treinen and perhaps others.
-
Jose Quijada LAA RPAngels' Jose Quijada: Avoids arbitration with Halos
10h agoThe Angels and Quijada avoided arbitration by agreeing to a $1.075 million contract Tuesday.
The deal also includes a $3.75 million club option for 2026. Quijada, 29, has missed much of the last two seasons while recovering from Tommy John surgery, but he returned in late July this past season and posted a 3.26 ERA and 24:17 K:BB over 19.1 innings. He could see some high-leverage relief work for the Angels in 2025.
-
Samad Taylor SEA LFMariners' Samad Taylor: Outrighted to Triple-A
10h agoThe Mariners outrighted Taylor to Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday.
He's no longer on the 40-man roster but will remain in the organization as utility depth. Taylor, 26, spent virtually all of the 2024 season at Triple-A Tacoma, where he collected a .732 OPS with 11 homers and 50 steals.

D'Angelo Russell BKN PGNets' D'Angelo Russell: Supplies 23 points in double-double
1h agoRussell (hamstring) supplied a team-high 23 points (6-17 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 7-7 FT), two rebounds, 10 assists, three blocks and one steal in 31 minutes during Tuesday's 99-95 loss to the Knicks.
Russell registered his third double-double of the season while playing through a hamstring injury Tuesday, and it's also worth noting he logged his most minutes (31) since joining his new team. The veteran guard has been far more productive thus far with Brooklyn as opposed to the Lakers, particularly in the assists column, as he's averaging 14.6 points, 8.3 assists, 3.0 rebounds, 1.6 steals and 2.1 three-pointers in 24.4 minutes over his last seven games. Although Russell's future with the rebuilding Nets remains uncertain, he should remain the club's primary ball handler for as long as Cam Thomas (hamstring) sits on the shelf.

Karl-Anthony Towns NY PFKnicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Fills up stat sheet in win
2h agoTowns finished with 25 points (11-19 FG, 0-3 3FG, 3-4 FT), 16 rebounds, six assists, three steals and two blocks in Tuesday's 99-95 win against the Nets.
Towns continues have a solid first year with the Knicks, as he fills up the stat sheet on a nightly basis for New York. If he can continue to play at a high level, the Knicks will have a decent chance of making a deep playoff run in the Eastern Conference while being one of the most consistent big man in the league from a fantasy perspective
-
Kel'el Ware MIA CHeat's Kel'el Ware: Double-doubles in first start
2h agoWare recorded 20 points (8-17 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 15 rebounds and two blocks in 39 minutes during Tuesday's 116-107 loss to the Trail Blazers.
Ware was rewarded with his first career start Tuesday after a strong outing against San Antonio. The rookie center paid back coach Eric Spoelstra's trust by putting up a career-high 15 rebounds and posting a plus-eight point differential despite losing. If Ware can keep performing at a high level, he will likely continue to start alongside Bam Adebayo in Miami's frontcourt.
-
Anthony Davis LAL CLakers' Anthony Davis: Available against Washington
2h agoDavis (calf) has been cleared to play in Tuesday's game against the Wizards, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports.
Davis will be available to play Wednesday against the Wizards despite continuing to deal with a calf issue. The veteran big man is coming off a double-double performance against the Clippers, scoring 16 points and grabbing 10 rebounds in the loss to their division rivals at Intuit Dome.
-
LeBron James LAL SFLakers' LeBron James: Upgraded to available
2h agoJames (foot) will play in Tuesday's game against the Wizards, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports.
The Lakers had James tabbed as probable with left foot injury management, and the perennial All-Star has expectedly been upgraded to available for Tuesday's favorable matchup against Washington. Through his last nine games, James has averaged 24.9 points, 8.4 assists, 6.1 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 3.1 three-pointers, and he should face no limitations in this one.
-
Adem Bona PHI PF76ers' Adem Bona: Retreats to bench
2h agoBona isn't in the starting five for Tuesday's game versus the Nuggets.
Andre Drummond will replace Bona in the starting five Tuesday after missing Philadelphia's previous contest due to a toe injury. Bona is averaging 3.5 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.1 blocks in 12.5 minutes across his last 10 appearances coming off the bench.
-
Matt Roy WAS DCapitals' Matt Roy: Buries goal Tuesday
5m agoRoy scored a goal, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Oilers.
Roy has three points over his last seven outings, but this was his first goal since Nov. 23. The 29-year-old defenseman continues to see top-four minutes in a shutdown role for the Capitals, leading to limited looks on offense. He's produced two goals, 11 points, 43 shots on net, 81 hits, 67 blocked shots and a plus-10 rating over 37 contests this season.
-
Tom Wilson WAS RWCapitals' Tom Wilson: Reaches 20-goal mark Tuesday
8m agoWilson scored a goal, added two hits and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Oilers.
Wilson reached the 20-goal mark for the fourth time in his career, and his personal best of 24 tallies is definitely within range. He's done well in January with six goals and two assists over 10 appearances. The winger is up to 35 points -- matching his total from the 2023-24 regular season -- while adding 108 shots on net, 137 hits, 43 blocked shots, 44 PIM and a plus-11 rating through 47 appearances.
-
Pierre-Luc Dubois WAS LWCapitals' Pierre-Luc Dubois: Earns one of each in win
10m agoDubois scored a goal on two shots, added an assist, logged four PIM and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Oilers.
Dubois set up Matt Roy on the go-ahead goal before knocking home a rebound for the game-winner at 3:49 of the third period. This was Dubois' second multi-point effort in a row and his third in the last seven games. The center has four goals and six assists over 10 outings in January. Overall, he's produced nine tallies, 29 helpers, 75 shots on net, 41 hits, 37 blocked shots, 36 PIM and a plus-17 rating over 47 appearances.
-
Logan Thompson WAS GCapitals' Logan Thompson: Holds on for win
13m agoThompson stopped 30 of 32 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Oilers.
Thompson picked up his fifth straight win despite the Oilers getting the better of the Capitals on the shot counter by a 32-14 margin. He also earned an assist on the game-winning goal, and the 27-year-old goalie was able to stay calm after Corey Perry scored the Oilers' second goal following a fan tossing nachos onto the ice. During Thompson's winning streak, he's allowed a total of five goals on 127 shots, and he's gone 10-0-1 over his last 11 outings. Overall, he's now at a 22-2-3 record with a 2.09 GAA and a .925 save percentage through 27 appearances. Thompson has started consecutive games even with Charlie Lindgren back from an upper-body injury, so it's unclear if the Capitals will go back to alternating starts or let Thompson get a bit of a run as the starter.
-
Miro Heiskanen DAL DStars' Miro Heiskanen: Hands out assist in loss
1h agoHeiskanen produced an assist in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Hurricanes.
Heiskanen has a helper in consecutive contests and four points over his last eight games. The 25-year-old blueliner hasn't been able to get to his usual level of offense in 2024-25, amassing 22 points over 47 outings. He's added 104 shots on net, 79 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating and continues to see plenty of ice time in a top-pairing role.
-
Wyatt Johnston DAL CStars' Wyatt Johnston: Extends point streak to five games
1h agoJohnston notched an assist in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Hurricanes.
Johnston set up Thomas Harley's tally in the third period. The helper extended Johnston's point streak to five games (one goal, six assists). The 21-year-old also stayed on the top line Tuesday even with Roope Hintz (upper body) returning to the lineup, though they had similar ice time. For the season, Johnston has 37 points, 121 shots on net, a plus-5 rating, 29 hits and 24 blocked shots over 47 appearances.
