Over his six career starts, Miami Dolphins quarterback Malik Willis has scored 8.5 fantasy points per game with his legs alone. While that sample size is almost unusably small, it's easy to get excited about what a full season might look like, particularly when considering his draft cost against some of the league's elite mobile […]

With the continued emphasis being put on heavy personnel usage ahead of the 2026 fantasy season, a player flying surprisingly under the radar is Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta. In a relatively small sample size over the past two seasons, LaPorta has been the league's highest-scoring fantasy tight end on a per-route basis out […]

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott threw for 300+ yards a league-leading six times on his way to a fourth straight top-eight fantasy finish in as many fully healthy seasons. Perhaps because of the three injury-shortened campaigns mixed into that stretch, Prescott does not get the credit he deserves as one of fantasy's most consistent, high-ceiling […]

When the San Francisco 49ers open training camp practices on Sunday, fantasy managers will get their first extended look at 13th-year wide receiver Mike Evans in his new home. For the first time since the Buccaneers selected him in the first round of the 2014 NFL Draft, he'll be playing for a new team, and […]

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker led the team with 696 receiving yards in 2025, taking advantage of a depth chart that saw Jakobi Meyers traded away after Week 9 and All-Pro tight end Brock Bowers in and out of the lineup with a knee injury. With free agent receiver Jalen Nailor representing the […]

Unable to rise to a position of relevance on a lackluster depth chart, Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jack Bech disappointed as a rookie, finishing his first season with only 224 yards on 20 scoreless receptions. A second-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Bech was held outside the team's top five in all major […]

Every year, there are a handful of players who put up video game numbers. At times each season, it feels like if you do not have one of those players, you are not going to win. Everyone is chasing those players who can truly lap the competition at their position, like what Trey McBride did […]

Sometimes in dynasty fantasy football, you've got to put yourself out there to improve your roster -- especially at the running back position. The risks can be evident. A player is aging. They're either injury-prone or knowingly facing that uphill battle at a position with frequent injuries. Next year's new crop of rookies might unseat […]

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton has seen his role in the offense drop in recent years. Over the last two seasons, Slayton has finished with fewer than 600 receiving yards both years. During that span, Slayton has scored a total of three touchdowns, which is fewer than in his 2023 campaign. The expectation […]

Los Angeles Chargers running back Keaton Mitchell could be primed for a breakout campaign in 2026. Due to injuries and Derrick Henry, Mitchell wasn't able to fully unleash his skillset during his time in Baltimore. The 24-year-old has now moved on and signed a two-year deal with the Chargers this offseason. Mitchell has a clearer […]

Carolina Panthers running back Jonathon Brooks hasn't been much of a thought to fantasy managers over the last few seasons. In fact, Brooks hasn't played in a game since making three appearances during the 2024 season. The former second-round pick has been sidelined since then due to two knee injuries. The hope is that Brooks […]

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf might be trending in the wrong direction in 2026. Metcalf was a two-time Pro Bowler in Seattle before getting traded to the Steelers ahead of the 2025 campaign. Metcalf was underutilized in Pittsburgh with 59 receptions, which was his lowest since his rookie season. He also finished with a […]

Veteran free-agent safety Jordan Whitehead (neck) has been fully cleared to resume his football career after having neck surgery by Alex Vaccaro, his surgeon and the Philadelphia Eagles' spine specialist, according to Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network. Whithead had recent workouts with the Indianapolis Colts and Houston Texans and is expected to meet with […]

Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft (knee) could begin on the Physically Unable to Perform list to open training camp in less than 10 days, according to Jason Wilde of Channel 3000. "The guess here is that he won't set foot on Ray Nitschke Field without a new deal in place," writes Wilde. Kraft […]

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving told Mark Skol Jr. of FOX 13 News on Monday at his annual youth football camp that he will be good to go for the start of training camp. The Bucs could ease Irving into drills early in camp after he had offseason surgery on his shoulder, but […]

Free-agent wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. remains unsigned after a useful season that also showed how much his fantasy profile has changed. He caught 72 of 99 targets for 727 yards and five touchdowns in 16 games with Washington, adding 75 yards and another score on 17 carries. The 72 receptions were the second-most of […]

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Elic Ayomanor earned real playing time as a rookie, which is why he should not be written off after one offseason. He started 14 games, played 787 offensive snaps, and drew 89 targets. The result was 41 catches for 515 yards and four touchdowns. That is a useful foundation for a […]

Arizona Cardinals running back Tyler Allgeier did not sign in March expecting to remain in the same type of role he had in Atlanta. The third overall pick changed that quickly. Jeremiyah Love is expected to lead the backfield, with Allgeier and James Conner behind him as the other likely game-day options. That leaves a […]

Veteran running back Kenny Gainwell led the Pittsburgh Steelers with 73 receptions in 2025 on his way to an RB20 finish, and in signing a two-year deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this offseason, he inherits a role that saw Rachaad White average nearly 56 targets per year over the past four seasons. After splitting […]

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Carnell Tate may not need the usual rookie waiting period. Tennessee selected him fourth overall after he caught 51 passes for 875 yards and nine touchdowns in 11 games at Ohio State. The spring did nothing to cool expectations. Tate made 17 catches across seven practices open to reporters, flashed on […]

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenny McIntosh was placed on the physically unable to perform list to open training camp, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Safety Nick Emmanwori received the same designation. The second-year safety was a Defensive Rookie of the Year finalist after recording 81 tackles, nine tackles for loss, 11 passes defensed, 2.5 sacks, […]

Cleveland Browns running back Dylan Sampson gave dynasty managers almost nothing as a runner during his rookie season. He finished with 175 yards on 65 carries, an average of 2.7 per attempt. The receiving work was harder to dismiss. Sampson caught 33 of 40 targets for 271 yards and two touchdowns, opening the year with […]

The Green Bay Packers and defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt agreed to a three-year, $57 million contract extension on Monday that includes a $20 million signing bonus, sources told Jordan Schultz. The former University of Georgia star and first-round pick has improved year over year and has been rewarded for his progress as an interior defensive […]

NFL owners expect to finalize an extension with commissioner Roger Goodell in the coming months to keep him in place to oversee the negotiations for new broadcasting deals and a collective bargaining agreement with players that could include an 18-game season, four people with the owners' views told Mark Maske of Front Office Sports. Goodell's […]

The 30th overall selection in the 2026 NFL Draft, New York Jets wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr. enters his rookie season with a chance to make an immediate contribution. Cooper Jr. was highly productive in his final collegiate season at the University of Indiana in 2025, recording 69 catches for 937 yards and 13 touchdowns […]

New York Jets rookie quarterback Cade Klubnik impressed the coaching staff during offseason workouts, figures to get plenty of reps during the preseason, and will have an opportunity to win the backup job and "perhaps lay the groundwork for late-season playing time," according to Rich Cimini of ESPN. Klubnik's progress in the spring was impeded […]

New York Jets rookie tight end Kenyon Sadiq (hernia) missed team activities in the spring while recovering from sports hernia surgery, but he is expected to be fully ready for the start of training camp. The 16th overall selection in the 2026 NFL Draft, Sadiq recorded 51 catches for 560 yards and eight touchdowns across […]

After spending the last three seasons with the Chicago Bears, veteran wide receiver DJ Moore was acquired by the Buffalo Bills this past spring. Moore had one of the least productive seasons of his career in his final year with Chicago, recording 50 catches for 682 yards and six touchdowns on 85 targets across 17 […]

Andrew Harbaugh of the Buccaneers Wire writes that Tampa Bay Buccaneers veteran wide receiver Chris Godwin Jr. will mostly work out of the slot in 2026, with Emeka Egbuka and Jalen McMillan operating on the outside. The 30-year-old's redraft fantasy stock is down this year despite future Hall of Famer Mike Evans moving to San […]
