A month into the 2026-27 regular season, NHL Rumours from the Detroit Red Wings camp continue to circulate about their top-six centreman Dylan Larkin. Connections continue to be made between Larkin and the Montreal Canadiens, even though the Habs are not on his 10-team trade list.

Drops are bound to happen in the NFL, but how a receiver handles himself after a drop says everything you need to know. Cleveland Browns wide receiver KC Concepcion had a brutal third-quarter drop; he was visibly hard on himself, but his quarterback quickly picked him up.
While speaking to the media following Sunday’s 27-24 win over the Tennessee Titans, quarterback Deshaun Watson spoke on what he said to his rookie wideout:

“The biggest thing was that ‘I need that.’ That was the first thing I said, man, ‘KC, I need that. You owe me one.

The Vikings offense is loaded in every way, at every position. Of course, with a high-powered offense like the Vikings‘, they come with some notable fantasy football assets.
During the 2026 season here on Vikings Wire, we will review all fantasy-relevant skill players for the team and share whether they are worth a start.
Each position has players that can help or hurt your fantasy team, so this will be a form of start or sit. In this piece, we will be looking at the Vikings’ defense.

Fourth-year coach Mark Madsen’s team looks completely different once again, thanks to the transfer portal and another roster overhaul. A year after California lost its top two scorers to the transfer portal, the program is rebuilding again with nine new faces and someone will have to pick up the scoring void left by Dai Dai Ames’ departure to Tennessee. He averaged 16.9 points per game and the team’s next three leading scorers are also gone.
Lee Dort is the top returning scorer at 8.

After two tightly contested games to open the 2026 World Series, Game 3 got out of hand as Milwaukee scored seven runs with two outs in the fifth inning on the way to a 10-1 victory. With a win tonight, the Brewers would clinch the first World Series title in franchise history.

Joey Logano is opening up about the frightening moments he experienced during Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series race at Talladega Superspeedway. The three-time Cup Series champion found himself in the middle of a massive multicar accident with five laps remaining, sending his No. 22 Ford upside down and sliding across the track.
Although Logano escaped without a reported injury, the crash was a reminder of just how dangerous superspeedway racing can become in an instant. After climbing out of his damaged car, Logano explained what he was thinking while trapped upside down.

Pundits don’t always do proper analysis when they point to a throw or two, or a moment, and label it the reason a team may have lost a game. Some moments weigh heavily, and for the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 7, those moments came before halftime.
Tanner McKee had a chance to give his team a better first-half finish against the Dallas Cowboys, but two missed throws left points on the field. With Philadelphia searching for answers after four straight losses entering Monday night, those missed chances carried added weight in a game that ultimately ended in a 38-21 defeat.

Just a couple days shy of the one-month anniversary of his trade to New York, former Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy celebrated his first win as the starting quarterback of the Giants. He completed 20 of 28 passes for a career-high 252 yards, helping the Giants to a 27-21 overtime win in Houston.
His first start built off an impressive relief performance the week prior, in which he nearly rallied the Giants from a 24-point deficit. With five strong quarters in the book, it’s understandable that the vibes are high in New York about their new quarterback.

Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has not played since Oct. 4, missing the past three games with a high ankle sprain.
Ravens coach Jesse Minter on Monday expressed optimism about Jackson’s availability for Sunday, and Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that Jackson is expected to return this week.
Then again, Jackson was trending toward playing last week.
He was limited in all three practices and initially questionable to play. Jackson was inactive for Sunday’s game, a 35-13 loss to the Bengals.

DeForest Buckner is headed back to the Bay.
The 49ers — who traded Buckner to Indianapolis back in 2020 — have agreed to acquire Buckner from the Colts, according to multiple reports.
Indianapolis will receive a 2027 fourth-round pick to complete the deal.
While Buckner is in his 11th season, he’s still plenty productive from the interior of the defensive line. He’s recorded 4.0 sacks with four tackles for loss and eight QB hits so far in 2026. He’s also tallied three passes defensed and a fumble recovery.
The No.

Utah will be down two more of its bigs as Jaren Jackson Jr. has a torn MCL in his right knee and will miss 6-8 weeks, while Lauri Markkanen has a sprained wrist, sources told ESPN’s Tim MacMahon and Shams Charania.

The Colts have traded eight-time Pro Bowl guard Quenton Nelson to the Seahawks.

Why It Matters: Young has been listed on the injury report for two days and has practiced fully during both. He shouldn’t be a concern for fantasy players needing him in their lineups.

Fabregas: ‘Some Como players understand the need for rotation less than others’
Cesc Fabregas has stressed the importance of making every player ‘feel important’ as Como name a rotated side against Torino on Tuesday evening, but says that some players understand the need to rotate ‘less’ than others.
Como are taking on Torino at the Stadio Olimpico Grande at 19.45 GMT (20.45 CET) on Wednesday evening.

As Texas turns the page after the Ole Miss win, they invite their Magnolia State rivals to Austin. Mississippi State comes into Austin after major injury news, leaving the Bulldogs without one of the best players in the country. Despite that, Jeff Lebby has had success against Texas defenses during his time as an OC and now a head coach. Slowing the Bulldog offense will be easier without their QB1 but far from easy and their defense is capable of making momentum changing plays.

The New York Giants have found something in young quarterback J.J. McCarthy, who has looked like a completely different player since arriving from the Minnesota Vikings via trade.
After an impressive fourth quarter against the New Orleans Saints, McCarthy made his first start for the Giants on Sunday against the Houston Texans.

The Houston Texans need some change to reignite the spark found to get back on track after the bye week.
Something needs to be shaken up. It won’t be the coaching staff.
Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans confirmed on Monday, after the overtime loss to the New York Giants, that the coaching staff will remain unchanged entering the bye week. This included offensive coordinator Nick Caley, offensive line coach Cole Popovich, defensive coodinator Matt Burke and special teams coordinator Frank Ross.
“We are where we are right now,” Ryans said. “Where we are, it’s not good enough.

Arizona coach Brent Brennan made waves after his team’s 39-3 homecoming game win over Iowa State on Oct. 24 for stopping by a local bar to buy around 300 shots of tequila for Arizona fans and alumni in town for the game, a gesture that has helped endear the coach to the community.
“For me, I’ve said it since I got here; it’s been a thing for me the whole time I’ve been a head coach,” Brennan said Monday, Oct. 26, when talking about the gesture at Dirtbag’s with the media.

Lancashire have been “pretty disrespectful” in their treatment of legendary bowler James Anderson, says his long-time England bowler partner Stuart Broad.
Anderson, 44, was told last week he will not have his contract renewed by the Red Rose county, ending his 26-year professional career with the club.

Trey Amos hasn’t played much football in the last calendar year.  
The second-year Commanders cornerback fractured his fibula on Nov. 9, 2025,  2025, during a Week 10 contest against the Detroit Lions. He was placed on injured reserve, had surgery to repair the injury and embarked on a long, arduous rehabilitation. It lasted through the offseason and into the summer, keeping him away from practice even into training camp.  
He returned to practice on Aug. 7, but was put back on the shelf the next day with soreness in the same ankle.
