LaNorris Sellers Questionable for South Carolina
South Carolina quarterback LaNorris Sellers is questionable to play against Arkansas, according to the SEC availability report. Sellers is dealing with a left ankle injury he sustained during the second quarter of this past week's win over Texas A&M, but is pushing to be available against the Razorbacks on Saturday. Sellers is RotoBaller's No. 3-ranked quarterback and is projected to score 30.4 fantasy points against Arkansas. He has enjoyed a remarkable season, completing 62.8% of his passes for 2,100 yards and 17 touchdowns against seven interceptions. He has also carried the ball 104 times for 637 yards and seven touchdowns. Arkansas allowed Auburn quarterback Byrum Brown to score three total touchdowns (two passing, one rushing) last week.

Jamal Cain Won't Play Wednesday Against Utah
Orlando Magic guard/forward Jamal Cain (shoulder) has been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup with the Utah Jazz due to a left shoulder contusion. Cain started Tuesday against Sacramento and finished with five points, three rebounds, one assist, and one steal in 20 minutes. The 27-year-old is averaging 7.0 points and 3.1 rebounds in 19.6 minutes through 10 games. With Tristan da Silva (calf) also sidelined, two-way forward Alex Morales will make his first career NBA start and should have a chance to build on the 29 minutes he logged Tuesday.

Kewan Lacy Out Again for Ole Miss
Ole Miss running back Kewan Lacy has been declared out for this week's game against Oklahoma, according to the SEC availability report. There is no timetable for his return, according to On3's Pete Nakos. Lacy has been out since exiting an Oct. 24 loss to Texas, in which he finished with 36 yards rushing on 16 carries before his departure, which came due to a recurring left shoulder dislocation. Lacy remains the Rebels' leading ball carrier, totaling 388 yards rushing and five touchdowns on 78 carries this season. Ole Miss finishes the season with a matchup against the Sooners on Saturday, followed by games against Wofford on Nov. 21 and Mississippi State on Nov. 27, but it remains unclear if Lacy will return this season.

Tigers Sign Emilio Pagan to One-Year Deal
The Detroit Tigers signed top free-agent reliever Emilio Pagan to a one-year, $11 million deal on Wednesday, sources told Jon Heyman of the New York Post. The Tigers chose not to bring veteran closer Kenley Jansen back for the 2027 season and will replace him in the ninth inning with Pagan, who will make $1 million more than the $10 million mutual option that he turned down with the Cincinnati Reds last month. The 35-year-old veteran missed some time in the first half of the 2026 season with a hamstring injury and finished with a 3.38 ERA, 1.03 WHIP, 25 saves in 28 opportunities, and a 45:11 K:BB in 42 2/3 innings pitched out of the bullpen in Cincy. Pagan has plenty of experience in high-leverage situations, which is where Detroit's bullpen really fell short last season, as he has 90 saves in his 10 major-league seasons, with the past three coming for the Reds.

Tristan da Silva Sidelined Again Wednesday
Orlando Magic forward Tristan da Silva (calf) has been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup with the Utah Jazz due to a left calf strain, marking his second straight absence. The 25-year-old is averaging 15.1 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 3.6 threes in 30.6 minutes while shooting 40.0% from deep this season. With Paolo Banchero (ankle) also sidelined, Franz Wagner should continue to carry a heavy offensive workload. Alex Morales could also stay involved after giving Orlando 29 productive minutes off the bench Tuesday against Sacramento.

Jacob Misiorowski Wins NL Cy Young Award
Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Jacob Misiorowski was named the 2026 National League Cy Young Award winner on Wednesday, according to MLB. Like the American League winner, New York Yankees right-hander Cam Schlittler, Misiorowski won the award unanimously as the most dominant pitcher in the NL this year. The 24-year-old flamethrower went 16-5 with a 1.80 ERA, 0.80 WHIP, and 252 strikeouts in 30 starts across 174 2/3 innings, leading baseball in ERA, WHIP, and strikeouts to help the Brewers win an MLB-best 103 games. The Miz's 6.6 fWAR also led all pitchers, and his 232 ERA+ was the best in a full season since Pedro Martinez recorded a 291 ERA+ in 2000. He joins Corbin Burnes (2021), Pete Vuckovich (1982), and Rollie Fingers (1981) as the fourth Cy Young Award winner in Milwaukee's history. Misiorowski is the first pitcher since Randy Johnson in 2001 to win the Cy Young and World Series in the same season. The 6-foot-7 hurler's fastball averaged 100.6 mph, which is rarefied air for a full-time starting pitcher. He threw more than 1,000 pitches at 100 mph or faster, which was more than double the record Jordan Hicks set in 2018. In his final 24 starts, Misiorowski had a 1.46 ERA to seal the NL Cy Young.

KJ Duff Out for the Season After Ankle Surgery
Rutgers wide receiver KJ Duff is out for the remainder of the 2026 season after undergoing surgery this week to repair a high-ankle sprain, according to ESPN's Pete Thamel. Duff is expected to resume full football activities in January, as his absence is a big blow for the Scarlet Knights' passing game. Duff is Rutgers' leading receiver, totaling 45 receptions for 774 yards and nine touchdowns on the year. He recorded four games with at least 113 yards receiving and three games with multiple touchdowns, averaging 17.2 yards per reception. The highly-touted prospect is projected to be a first-round pick in the upcoming NFL Draft.

Will Richard Cleared to Face Houston
Golden State Warriors guard/forward Will Richard (thumb) has been cleared to play Wednesday against the Houston Rockets despite a torn UCL in his left thumb, according to ESPN's Anthony Slater. Richard opted to play through the injury rather than undergo surgery and will wear a splint after testing it during shootaround. The 23-year-old missed only one game and has made two starts this season, including a 10-point effort on 4-for-6 shooting against Miami. With Gary Payton II (knee) and Brandon Williams (hamstring) sidelined, Richard could step right back into a meaningful backcourt role.

Cam Schlittler Wins AL Cy Young Award
New York Yankees right-hander Cam Schlittler was named the 2026 American League Cy Young Award winner on Wednesday, according to MLB. Schlittler won the award unanimously and became the seventh Yankees Cy Young winner, and the first since Gerrit Cole in 2023. The previous honorees include Bob Turley (1958), Whitey Ford (1961), Sparky Lyle (1977), Ron Guidry (1978), and Roger Clemens (2001). Schlittler was absolutely dominant in his first full major-league season, going 14-6 with an AL-best 1.95 ERA, pacing the league in pitching WAR (6.2) and opponent's on-base percentage (.244). His ERA was the third-lowest mark in franchise history by a qualified pitcher, trailing only Spud Chandler (1.64 in 1943) and Guidry (1.74 in 1978). Schlittler struck out 239 batters and had only 49 walks and 129 hits allowed in 193 2/3 innings. His 239 strikeouts tied Jack Chesbro (1904) for the fourth-most by a Yankees pitcher in a single season. He was about as dominant as they come, allowing one run or fewer in a major-league-best 21 starts, and he gave up three runs or fewer in 29 starts, tied for the most in the majors. Schlittler has led all MLB starters with a 2.23 ERA since his debut in July of 2025. Just like that, he has made his way to the upper echelon of fantasy starting pitchers going into next season.

Keyonte George Upgraded to Available Against Orlando
Utah Jazz guard Keyonte George (ankle) is available for Wednesday's matchup with the Orlando Magic after missing Tuesday's loss to Miami with a right ankle sprain. The 23-year-old is averaging 21.1 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 6.4 assists while shooting 44.9% through 10 games. With Lauri Markkanen (hand) and Jaren Jackson Jr. (knee) sidelined, George should step right back into a major offensive role. Darryn Peterson scored 25 points in his first start at point guard Tuesday, but George's return should take some of the primary ball-handling work off the rookie's plate.

Kamario Taylor Will Return to Mississippi State in 2027
Mississippi State quarterback Kamario Taylor will return for the Bulldogs next season, according to ESPN's Pete Thamel. "Taylor is finalizing a deal to return there in 2027," posted Thamel to his X account. Taylor is out for the season due to a turf toe injury he sustained on Sept. 26 against Missouri. He went on to start two more games before leaving an Oct. 24 matchup against Oklahoma after just five pass attempts. Before exiting due to the ailment, Taylor helped lead the Bulldogs to a 4-1 mark to start the year, completing 65.4% of his passes for 1,460 yards and 17 touchdowns against four interceptions. He also added 46 carries for 147 yards and a touchdown.

Trey Murphy III Sidelined Again Wednesday
New Orleans Pelicans guard/forward Trey Murphy III (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup with the Brooklyn Nets due to bilateral patellar tendinopathy. Murphy was initially listed as probable before being downgraded to doubtful and then out, marking his second straight absence and third since Nov. 4. The 26-year-old is averaging 15.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.6 assists, and 1.0 steals through nine games. Saddiq Bey started in his place Monday and could remain with the first unit, though his fantasy upside is limited. Murphy's next chance to return comes Friday against Memphis.

Devin Vassell Set to Miss Second Straight Game
San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Devin Vassell (groin) has been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup with the Chicago Bulls, marking his second straight absence due to left adductor tightness. The 26-year-old is averaging 11.9 points, 3.1 assists, and 1.7 steals through 10 games and has yet to receive a firm return date. Julian Champagnie stepped into the starting lineup Monday and responded with 11 points and three triples against Phoenix. With Tobias Harris (calf) also sidelined, Champagnie should get another opportunity to handle an expanded role on the wing.

Isaiah Stewart Upgraded to Available Versus the Nuggets
Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Isaiah Stewart (knee) is available for Wednesday's matchup with the Denver Nuggets after missing the last two games with a right knee bone bruise. The 25-year-old is averaging 11.9 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 0.7 blocks in 18.3 minutes during his first season with Memphis. With Quinten Post (concussion) sidelined, Stewart should slide back into the frontcourt rotation alongside Zach Edey. His return also gives the Grizzlies another physical option inside after playing short-handed up front over the past two games.
