Chargers Not Closing the Door on a Reunion With Keenan Allen
Los Angeles Chargers general manager Joe Hortiz isn't ruling out a reunion with free-agent veteran wide receiver Keenan Allen, according to Daniel Popper of The Athletic. "I wouldn't say the room is complete," Hortiz said. The most interesting available receiver in free agency that the Chargers could consider is Tyreek Hill (knee), who has previous experience in new offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel's scheme. In addition to Allen and Hill, Jauan Jennings and Deebo Samuel Sr. are available and could be added to a WR room in L.A. that includes Ladd McConkey, Quentin Johnston, and Tre' Harris. McConkey saw his fantasy stock fall considerably in 2025 in his sophomore season with the return of Allen, who finished with 81 receptions for 777 yards and four touchdowns in 17 regular-season games in his 13th year in the league after a one-year stay with the Chicago Bears in 2024. Re-signing with the Bolts would probably be the best-case scenario for Allen's 2026 fantasy value as he nears the end of his illustrious career.

Eagles Preparing for A.J. Brown's Departure?
ESPN's Jeff Darlington said he thinks the Philadelphia Eagles will be "operating from a place" that wide receiver A.J. Brown will not be on their roster for Week 1 of the 2026 regular season this fall. General manager Howie Roseman has refused to give many details this offseason when asked about Brown's status. Additionally, the team acquired wideout Dontayvion Wicks from the Green Bay Packers. Rumors have swirled about the New England Patriots' and Tennessee Titans' interest in trading for Brown, although nothing has come to fruition yet. All signs are pointing to the Eagles getting much more serious about trading the three-time Pro Bowler after June 1, when it becomes much more financially palatable for them to trade the 28-year-old pass-catcher. Although Brown reached the 1,000-yard mark for the fourth straight season (and in six of his seven NFL seasons), he was unhappy with his offensive role in Philly and had a career-low 12.9 yards per catch in 15 regular-season games. A move to New England would be attractive from a fantasy perspective, but Brown might still be a volatile low-end WR1/high-end WR2 target in fantasy football.

Titans to Pick Up Peter Skoronski's Fifth-Year Option
The Tennessee Titans plan to pick up offensive guard Peter Skoronski's fifth-year option for the 2027 season, a source told Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. It will set Skoronski up to make $19.07 million in 2027. The 24-year-old was the 11th overall pick in the first round of the 2023 NFL draft out of Northwestern. In his first three years in the NFL, Skoronski has started all 48 of the games that he's appeared in for Tennessee. It remains to be seen if the Titans will look to get a long-term extension worked out with Skoronski before he enters the fifth and final year of his deal. Since the start of the 2024 regular season, Skoronski has been a staple for Tennessee's offensive line, not missing a single game. Having Skoronski around is a plus for young quarterback Cameron Ward and a Titans offense that is looking to take a step forward under new coordinator Brian Daboll in 2026.

Breece Hall's Dynasty Upside Remains Limited by Offensive Environment in New York
Despite having an atrocious supporting cast around him for most of the 2025 season, New York Jets running back Breece Hall still managed to record 1,415 scrimmage yards and five touchdowns on 279 touches across 16 games. The Jets signed Hall to the franchise tag earlier this offseason, and the two sides have yet to work out a long-term extension. While New York could easily still extend Hall at some point before the start of 2026, the 24-year-old's dynasty value would almost certainly benefit from a change of scenery. Hall has proven he can be productive regardless of the situation around him, but his upside is unquestionably limited with the Jets. New York's offense should be more stable with veteran quarterback Geno Smith under center in 2026. Still, the Jets likely remain at least a year or two away from fielding a high-level unit. Hall may struggle to reach his full dynasty potential without a chance to hit the open market.

Dexter Lawrence Signing One-Year Extension With Bengals
Now that the Cincinnati Bengals' acquisition of defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence from the New York Giants is official and he has passed a physical, the Bengals signed him to a one-year, $28 million contract extension on Sunday, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Lawrence is now contractually tied to Cincinnati for the next three seasons after getting his wish and moving out of New York. The Bengals sent the 10th overall pick in this year's NFL draft to the G-Men, who now hold two picks in the first 15 picks next week. The 28-year-old former first-rounder out of Clemson in 2019 was a Pro Bowler from 2022 to 2024, but he had a very disappointing season in his final year with the Giants in 2025, recording just half of a sack with 31 tackles (14 solo) and eight QB hits in 17 starts in his seventh year in the NFL. The Bengals will be hoping that Lawrence, who has 30.5 career sacks, can bounce back in 2026 and help give the team's pass rush a boost now that Trey Hendrickson is no longer in town.

Drake London's Dynasty Upside Remains Limited by Quarterback Questions in Atlanta
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London ran into some injury issues with his knee that caused him to miss time down the stretch of the 2025 season. Still, the 24-year-old was highly productive across the 12 games he was active for, recording 68 receptions for 919 yards and seven touchdowns on a whopping 112 targets. London is averaging 9.3 targets per game over the past two seasons and profiles as the clear number one pass-catcher in Atlanta once again in 2026. However, the Falcons' ongoing issues at the quarterback position continue to limit London's upside. Atlanta QB Michael Penix Jr. (knee) is coming off a torn ACL and was largely ineffective when healthy in 2025, throwing for 1,982 yards and nine touchdowns across nine games. The Falcons signed veteran signal-caller Tua Tagovailoa in free agency, but the 28-year-old threw 15 interceptions and averaged under seven yards per pass attempt across 14 games with the Miami Dolphins in 2025. London remains a dynasty WR1, but he may struggle to realize his full potential until the Falcons solve the quarterback position.

Chris Olave's Dynasty Value Rising After Resurgent 2025 Season
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave re-emerged as a high-value PPR wide receiver in 2025, recording 100 receptions for 1,163 yards and nine touchdowns on 156 targets across 16 games. After a lost season in which injuries forced him to miss nine games in 2024, Olave was able to re-establish himself as the clear number one target in New Orleans. He also got some much-needed help in the quarterback department in the second half of the year after Tyler Shough took over as the Saints' QB1. Olave's worrying track record of concussion issues remains a red flag for his long-term dynasty outlook. However, he's proven to be an effective high-volume target earner as long as he's on the field. Particularly with the improved offensive environment around him, Olave's value is trending up heading into 2026.

Can Bucky Irving Bounce Back After Injury-Marred 2025?
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving was one of the breakout success stories of the 2024 season, recording over 1,500 scrimmage yards and eight touchdowns as a rookie. However, foot and shoulder injuries caused him to miss seven games in 2025 and limited him to just 865 scrimmage yards and four touchdowns for the year. Irving's efficiency as a rusher also plummeted precipitously, as he averaged just 3.4 yards per carry after averaging 5.4 yards per carry in 2024. Irving could easily bounce back with better health in 2026. However, Irving's stature as an undersized back leads to questions about whether he can make it through a full NFL season healthy. Additionally, Tampa Bay signed veteran running back Kenneth Gainwell to a two-year contract in free agency. Gainwell topped 1,000 scrimmage yards as a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2025, and his presence caps Irving's workload upside. While Irving still carries plenty of fantasy upside, his dynasty value is more of an open question coming off a down season.

Kenneth Walker III a Major Dynasty Riser After Offseason Move to Kansas City
The Kansas City Chiefs made one of the biggest moves of the NFL offseason by signing running back Kenneth Walker III to a three-year, $43 million contract in free agency. Walker III recorded 1,309 scrimmage yards and five touchdowns on 252 touches across 17 games as a member of the Seattle Seahawks in 2025. The 25-year-old did so despite splitting touches with fellow Seahawks back Zach Charbonnet (knee) for the majority of the year. In Kansas City, Walker III profiles as the clear lead back and could easily top 300 touches for the first time in his career if he can stay healthy. The Chiefs' offense could have some struggles in the early going while star quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) makes his way back from knee surgery. Still, Kansas City should put Walker III in a position to rack up consistent fantasy production. In dynasty formats, Walker III profiles as a major riser following his offseason change of scenery.

Bo Nix's Dynasty Value in Question Coming Off Injury?
Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix (ankle) had his 2025 season come to an unfortunate end when he suffered a fractured ankle during his team's AFC Divisional Round win over the Buffalo Bills. However, Nix is expected to be fully ready to go for the start of the 2026 season. Across 17 games in 2025, the 26-year-old completed 63.4% of his pass attempts for 3,931 yards, 25 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions. Nix also rushed for 356 yards and five touchdowns on 83 attempts. While Nix hasn't been particularly efficient (6.5 yards per pass attempt) through the first two years of his NFL career, the Broncos high-volume pass game and Nix's ability to impact the game with his legs allow him to maintain fantasy upside. If the return from ankle injury prevents Nix from being effective as a scrambler, his fantasy production could suffer. Nix's dynasty value is trending slightly downward as he enters his third season in the NFL.

Glaring Opportunity to Sell High on Davante Adams?
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams finds himself in a classic sell-high situation this offseason. He was the overall WR6 in half-PPR leagues when healthy (14 games) last season. A significant portion of his fantasy production came from his 14 touchdowns, which tied his highest mark since 2020 in Green Bay. Adams is due for touchdown regression in 2026, even though he plays in a Rams offense that throws the ball near the goal line a lot. As a result, his volume and yardage potential will carry more weight, and we're not super bullish about that. He had a relatively modest 60 catches for 789 yards last year, and he never caught more than six passes in a single game. If the touchdown total scales back, Adams will have extreme difficulty remaining a top-15 receiver with that volume share. At 33 years old, Adams' days of being a top-10 fantasy receiver could be behind him. Yet, managers can capitalize on the fact that he has been a top-12 receiver in each of the last six seasons, using that statistic to sell high and pick up some significant compensation in a dynasty league trade. He has fallen to WR41 in RotoBaller's latest dynasty fantasy football rankings.

Can Jordan Addison Overcome Ugly Quarterback Situation?
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison has the talent to produce as a fringe top-24 fantasy receiver every week, but quarterback issues have plagued his fantasy value recently. After opening his career with back-to-back top-24 finishes in PPR leagues, Addison dropped to WR45 in 2025. Sure, he did miss three games due to a suspension, but his average of 9.7 fantasy points per game was still a career low. The USC product suffered from playing with a combination of J.J. McCarthy, Max Brosmer, and Carson Wentz. Those quarterbacks struggled to support fantasy relevance for Justin Jefferson, let alone both Jefferson and Addison. As a result, there's some concern about Addison's outlook in dynasty leagues. The Vikings have control of McCarthy for three more years, and they also signed Kyler Murray, who played so poorly in Arizona that the Cardinals released him from his $230.5 million extension. We never saw Murray support multiple fantasy-relevant receivers at once, and so far, McCarthy has struggled to do the same. As a result, managers should temper expectations for Addison. He's not an appealing dynasty trade target at the moment.

Emeka Egbuka a Trade Target in Some Dynasty Leagues
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Emeka Egbuka was an Offensive Rookie of the Year candidate at some points during the 2025 NFL season, but his somewhat underwhelming second half took him out of the running for the award. Along the way, Egbuka's high dynasty stock decreased slightly, creating a "buy" opportunity for managers in some dynasty leagues this offseason. The Ohio State product's subpar production during the second half was frustrating, but there's absolutely no reason to panic going forward. He has still shown that he can be a top-tier receiver in the NFL, winning matchups against defenders and scoring plenty of touchdowns. Now, he'll have an opportunity to do so more often with Mike Evans gone. Evans left for the 49ers in free agency, leaving Egbuka as the Bucs' top receiver over Chris Godwin Jr. Egbuka ranks as the WR12 in RotoBaller's dynasty rankings. That's nothing to scoff at, but he also has top-five upside if the Bucs' offense can find more of a rhythm in 2026. Believe it or not, Egbuka is still a reasonable trade target in many dynasty leagues.

Alec Pierce's Stock Rising Following Payday
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce was paid like a top-tier receiver this offseason, signing a four-year, $114 million extension. It's a hard-earned payday for Pierce, who eclipsed 1,000 yards last season and was the WR28 in PPR leagues. Still, it's a big investment for a receiver who had been third on the depth chart less than 12 months earlier. Now that he's paid like a No. 1 receiver, managers should expect him to be targeted like one every single week. His target rate will presumably increase from last year's mark of 5.6 targets per game. With Michael Pittman Jr. gone, the Colts could ask Pierce to abandon his deep-threat playing style and serve as more of a medium-range target for Daniel Jones. This might mean fewer explosive touchdowns, but it should result in a higher target share and more consistent production week in and week out. A 25-year-old who is under contract for four years is typically a very safe and dependable option for fantasy managers, as he has job security and the team is investing enough money to force-feed him targets. Managers should hold Pierce, who ranks as the WR35 in RotoBaller's dynasty rankings and possesses top-24 upside.

Michael Pittman Jr. Gets a Fresh Start in Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. will get a fresh start in 2026 following an offseason trade. Dealt from the Colts to the Steelers, Pittman will slot in as a starting wide receiver opposite DK Metcalf next year. He offers a major upgrade for the Steelers, who endured a rough season of Calvin Austin III as their No. 2 receiver last year. Pittman was impressive when quarterback Daniel Jones (Achilles) was healthy, averaging 11.4 fantasy points per game (half-PPR) and ranking as the overall WR8. However, his production took a hit when Jones was ruled out for the season. Therein lies the biggest question mark for Pittman in 2026. We still don't know who his quarterback will be in Pittsburgh. An Aaron Rodgers return seems probable, but nothing is imminent. Assuming Rodgers does return to the Steelers, he could support top-25 finishes from both Metcalf and Pittman. We're encouraged by Pittman's new opportunity, as the Steelers' decision to trade for him shows how much they want to get him involved on offense. He currently ranks as the WR52 in RotoBaller's dynasty rankings, so managers who have higher expectations could opt to buy low on Pittman this offseason.
