The New York Giants need more reliable playmakers at wide receiver. With new offensive coordinator Matt Nagy coming from the Kansas City Chiefs, my first thought regarding a player he might bring with him was wide receiver Marquise “Hollywood” Brown.
On the ‘Valentine’s Views’ podcast recently, though, Chiefs beat writer Pete Sweeney of the Kansas City Star suggested a different, more under-the-radar free agent receiver:
Tyquan Thornton.

1. Utah State
Utah State remained in the top spot in this week’s rankings. They escaped Laramie with a narrow 85-83 victory over the weekend, shooting north of 70 percent in the second half behind Mason Falslev, MJ Collins and Drake Allen.

As I do here every spring, today I present to you a full numerical roster of all the players and coaches in Cubs spring camp. Also included are the Cubs’ retired numbers, so you can see the full numerical progression. There are 58 players in camp, the 40-man roster plus 18 non-roster invitees.
A few notes:

The Cubs have still not re-issued No. 44, worn by Anthony Rizzo during the World Series run, since he was traded away in 2021. I’m guessing that will remain un-issued for quite some time. Jon Lester’s (and Kerry Wood’s) No.

Falcons rookie James Pearce Jr. allegedly crashed his vehicle into one being driven by WNBA player Rickea Jackson multiple times and struck a police officer with the vehicle while evading arrest, according to the criminal complaint obtained by ESPN.

Aside from catcher, third base is the most challenging position in fantasy baseball. It was extremely top-heavy last season, with José Ramírez leading the way as usual and Junior Caminero and Eugenio Suarez finishing among the league leaders in home runs. Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Maikel Garcia brought some speed to the hot corner, while Manny Machado continued to build his Hall of Fame case. It was a bit murkier from there, as a number of players missed significant time due to injury (Austin Riley, Isaac Paredes, Max Muncy, Jordan Westburg) and others simply failed to meet expectations.
