Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews had a frustrating season in 2025, catching a modest 48 passes for 422 yards and five touchdowns across 17 games. He suffered from the Ravens' subpar passing attack, as well as a crowded tight end room that also featured Isaiah Likely and Charlie Kolar. Both Likely and Kolar departed in free agency this offseason, and they leave behind 51 vacated targets. A large portion of those targets could go to Andrews, since the Ravens didn't bring in another tight end to compete for the starting role. The closest move they made was drafting SMU's Matt Hibner. While Hibner may be the tight end of the future in Baltimore, it's unlikely that he'll take on a major role right away. Managers should let Andrews bounce back as a potential top-12 tight end during the first half of the season, and by midseason, there could be a perfect opportunity to sell high on him.--Andersen Pickard

New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. projects as the team's No. 2 option out of the backfield in 2026, but there may be a path for him to maintain value in dynasty fantasy football leagues. Fueled by a big second half after Cam Skattebo (ankle) went down, Tracy finished as the overall RB28 in PPR leagues last year. He has now been a top-28 running back in each of his two pro seasons. He scored just four touchdowns but eclipsed 1,000 scrimmage yards for the second year in a row. Additionally, he earned playing time by demonstrating ball security; he fumbled just once, despite having more than 200 touches. As many NFL teams shift to having a split backfield, Tracy should continue to have a key role alongside Skattebo, even if Skattebo starts most of the games. Tracy remains an intriguing RB3/flex appeal, and since some managers value him lower, there's an opportunity to buy low and reap the rewards. Managers looking for an affordable running back with weekly flex value in dynasty leagues should look to acquire Tracy this offseason.--Andersen Pickard

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Chimere Dike is trending down after the team's offseason additions. There isn't much of a trade market for him, but he's too promising a player to drop, so managers are forced to stash him on the bench in most leagues. Dike was the WR50 last year with 48 catches, 423 yards, and four touchdowns, but he fell down the depth chart after the Titans signed Wan'Dale Robinson and drafted Carnell Tate. With Elic Ayomanor and Calvin Ridley also in the picture, Dike could be as low as fifth in the pecking order, which would destroy his fantasy value in the short term. Looking long term, he does have a path to relevance in an offense that is not only trending up, but could also become more pass-heavy in the future. Plus, if injuries plague any of the Titans' top pass-catchers, Dike could potentially move into a starting role. As a result, he's worth holding in most dynasty leagues.--Andersen Pickard

The boom-or-bust nature of Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams has made him one of the more polarizing dynasty evaluations. Seven times in 2025, he finished a week with fewer than 5.5 half-PPR points, twice being held without a single catch. It could be argued that those lows, along with the injury and suspension that clouded the early stages of his career, are carrying too much weight in his dynasty ranking. At only 25 years old, Williams is RotoBaller's dynasty WR29, despite finishing as the overall WR10 in 2025 and the WR5 over the final 11 weeks. Outside of a handful of truly elite players, all wide receivers are inconsistent from a fantasy perspective, and while that's certainly more clear in Williams' case, few receivers in the league are capable of matching his regular week-winning performances. On paper, the Lions head into 2026 with one of the most fantasy-friendly schedules in the league, and under new offensive coordinator Drew Petzing, Detroit can expect to see more heavy personnel packages, which should further funnel targets through Williams and Amon-Ra St. Brown. If Williams can cut down on the costly drops, he has the potential for a second straight WR1 finish, and this time, managers should expect his dynasty value to follow.--Patrick McGrath

Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown finished 2025 as the fantasy RB8 after an RB12 finish in 2024. At 26 years old, he enters the final season of his rookie contract as RotoBaller's dynasty RB13, but should he and the team reach an agreement on a potential contract extension before the 2027 season, that ranking would almost certainly vault up. Brown's status as a true dynasty RB1 has long been held down by his fifth-round draft status and a fear that the Bengals could bring in additional competition to diminish his three-down role. Instead, over the past three offseasons, the Bengals have traded away former cornerstone running back Joe Mixon while spending a single sixth-round pick on the position. Brown heads into 2026 as one of the league's true bell cow backs on what again projects to be one of its most potent offenses. Even if the sides are unable to work out a long-term extension and this proves to be his final season in Cincinnati, Brown is arguably still worth his current price to contending dynasty managers on the potential of a top-five finish in 2026.--Patrick McGrath

Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins was a late free agency addition in the 2025 offseason, but he came into the year as the clear lead back in Denver, and he held that role until a Week 10 foot injury ended his season. Across his seven starts to finish the year in Dobbins' place, 2025 second-round pick RJ Harvey ran incredibly hot in the touchdown department, scoring six times from Weeks 13 through 17, but nothing else that he showed in his expanded role would suggest that the starting job should belong to anyone other than Dobbins in 2026. Running behind one of the best offensive lines in the league, Harvey managed only 3.7 yards per carry to Dobbins' 5.0-yard average. The Broncos spent a 2026 fourth-round pick on well-rounded running back Jonah Coleman, so it's unlikely Dobbins maintains the 16.7 opportunity per game pace he was on pre-injury, but it's possible that more of a committee approach could help keep him healthy, having never managed a full injury-free season since coming into the league as a second-round pick in 2020. At RotoBaller's dynasty RB39, the market has priced him as if the Denver backfield will see something close to a clean three-way split. Should he maintain the largest slice of the pie, as he proved himself worthy in 2025, Dobbins becomes a value depth buy for contending managers not put off by his serious injury history.--Patrick McGrath

Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze enters Year 3 with serious questions about his long-term dynasty value. The ninth overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft showed legitimate flashes to open his sophomore campaign, ranking as the WR3 before a Week 5 bye. Things quickly went downhill from there as a nagging foot injury cost him five games and slowed him in several others, and at times, there appeared to be a disconnect between him and second-year quarterback Caleb Williams. Odunze's 87 targets led the Bears, but his team-low 50.6% reception rate resulted in only 44 catches, the fourth-most on the team. Even with the trade of DJ Moore to Buffalo helping to thin the ranks, there is still uncertainty about just where Odunze slots into a still crowded group of pass catchers. Tight end Colston Loveland dominated the team's target share through two postseason games, and Luther Burden III was the most dynamic offensive player in Chicago by the end of the season. There is an expectation that Williams will take another step forward in his second season with Ben Johnson. If he and Odunze can rediscover the chemistry that led to five touchdowns through the first four games of 2025, the 23-year-old receiver is likely being priced well below his ceiling at WR23 in RotoBaller's dynasty rankings.--Patrick McGrath

Denver Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. was the first draft pick of the Sean Payton era, but now three years into his career, as he enters the final season of his rookie contract, he has yet to find a consistent role with the team. After a career-high 503 receiving yards and six touchdowns in 2024, his work in the passing game took a step back in 2025 as his primary involvement came as a returner on punts and kickoffs. With the Broncos sending a first and third-round pick to acquire Jaylen Waddle at the start of the new league year, there's no reason to believe Mims will suddenly take a step forward in 2026. While he has publicly expressed an openness to signing an extension with the Broncos, his best chance of finding sustained fantasy success could eventually come in another uniform. At RotoBaller's dynasty WR114, Mims is still worthy of a roster spot in deeper leagues, but outside of best ball formats, where his speed can help contribute to one-play spike weeks, he's unlikely to crack lineups with any consistency without a rash of injuries ahead of him.--Patrick McGrath

The Philadelphia Inquirer's Jeff McLane writes that new Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Sean Mannion is expected to implement some concepts that are prevalent in both Kyle Shanahan and Sean McVay's offenses with the San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams, respectively. The Eagles' offense was extremely disappointing in 2025, ranking 17th in the league in EPA per play. They are expected to trade Pro Bowl receiver A.J. Brown this offseason, and the Eagles could implement more short, quick-hit throws for running back Saquon Barkley, tight end Dallas Goedert, and rookie first-round receiver Makai Lemon. Hurts, 27, finished as the QB8 in fantasy in 2025 for the second straight year despite the Eagles' offense stalling often. The three-time Pro Bowler had 3,224 passing yards, a career-high 25 touchdowns, and six interceptions, but he had only 421 rushing yards and eight rushing TDs, his fewest since he had three in 2020 in his rookie campaign. The Tush Push has been a major staple that has helped Hurts maintain a strong QB1 floor. Target him as a midrange QB1 with more upside if Philly's offense can turn things around under Mannion.--Keith Hernandez

New Orleans Saints general manager Mickey Loomis said that the team has not offered a contract to free-agent tight end Taysom Hill, according to Saints beat writer Ross Jackson. The 35-year-old Hill has been a fan favorite in the Big Easy and has been with the organization for the last nine seasons, but it's looking unlikely that he'll be back with the club in 2026. In fact, due to injuries over the last two years, it's possible that the versatile offensive weapon could opt to retire from professional football. Hill played in only 13 games (five starts) for the Saints last year and had 52 carries for 114 yards and just one touchdown while adding 11 receptions on 16 targets for 91 yards and no touchdowns as a receiver. He played in just eight games in 2024. During his tenure with the Saints, Hill was used in a variety of roles, seeing snaps at quarterback, running back, wide receiver, and tight end. Because of his wild variance in utilization, he developed a reputation in fantasy as a highly volatile streaming option.--Keith Hernandez

New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte has not been included with the rest of the wideouts during offseason workouts and has been working out away from the facilities, according to Mike Reiss of ESPN. The Patriots cut Stefon Diggs in the offseason, but they signed former Packers wideout Romeo Doubs in free agency and are expected to acquire Pro Bowl receiver A.J. Brown from the Philadelphia Eagles after June 1, which will push the 24-year-old Boutte further down the depth chart in New England. The former sixth-round pick in 2023 out of LSU caught a career-best six touchdown passes in 14 regular-season games (10 starts) in 2025 in his third year in the league, but it came with a disappointing 33 receptions (46 targets) for just 551 yards. He has been the subject of offseason trade rumors, and he could very well be on the move if the Pats land Brown, as expected. Boutte is in the final year of his rookie deal and would probably benefit from a change of scenery. He has fallen all the way to WR68 in RotoBaller's 2026 WR rankings.--Keith Hernandez

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson was absent for the team's first two voluntary OTA practices this week, but head coach Jesse Minter said that Jackson had a "couple of things going on" Monday and Tuesday that prevented him from practicing, according to Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic. "I do expect him to be back soon," Minter said. "We've had some great conversations; know when he's going to be back. I'll probably leave those (conversations) between me and Lamar." The 29-year-old two-time MVP and four-time Pro Bowler has been a regular participant during the team's offseason workout program after a disappointing, injury-riddled 2025 campaign. Despite uncharacteristically finishing as the QB20 in fantasy scoring last year, Jackson is ranked by RotoBaller as the No. 2 fantasy signal-caller going into his ninth year in the NFL with a new coaching staff. He is an elite dual-threat option at the position and seems primed for a bounce-back campaign as long as he can stay on the field.--Keith Hernandez

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) was seen taking part in the team's OTA practice on Tuesday, according to Sal Capaccio. "I'd say it's probably the best I've felt in my career at this point in the year...I feel really good," Kincaid said after playing in a career-low 12 games in 2025 due to a PCL injury in his knee. The 26-year-old former first-rounder in 2023 out of Utah caught 39 of his 49 targets for 571 yards and a career-high five touchdowns last year despite playing in only 12 regular-season games (four starts). He will have more target competition in 2026 after the Bills acquired receiver DJ Moore in a trade from the Chicago Bears, but Kincaid will continue to be the team's No. 1 pass-catching TE over Dawson Knox, and he's displayed strong chemistry with QB Josh Allen. As long as he stays healthy, Kincaid is a clear TE1 in fantasy football in single-year formats, with RotoBaller ranking him as the No. 9 TE for the upcoming season.--Keith Hernandez

Buffalo Bills head coach Joe Brady said that quarterback Josh Allen (foot) is "good to go" following offseason foot surgery and is working through offseason workouts so far, according to Sal Capaccio. Allen played through a fractured fifth metatarsal in his right foot late in the 2025 regular season and into the playoffs before eventually having surgery, but he's all good now and shouldn't have any limitations in training camp or going into the start of the 2026 regular season in early September. The 29-year-old enters his ninth year in the league as the consensus No. 1 fantasy QB yet again after completing a career-high 69.3% of his pass attempts for 3,668 yards, 25 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions in 17 regular-season starts in 2025. But it was once again his rushing prowess that set him apart, as he had 112 carries for a league-high 579 yards and 14 scores on the ground. Allen was not very effective deep down the field through the air, but that could change in 2026 after the offseason addition of receiver DJ Moore in an offense still run by Brady.--Keith Hernandez

A week before being ordered to serve 30 days in jail for violating his probation and testing positive for marijuana, Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice (knee) had a clean-up surgery on his right knee to remove loose debris that was causing inflammation, league sources told Adam Schefter of ESPN. Rice is expected to be sidelined for two months. It's been quite the eventful day for news about Rice, who was expected to be KC's WR1 again in 2026 as he enters the final year of his rookie deal. Even if Rice was healthy, he wouldn't be available for the team's OTA practices later this month and for mandatory minicamp in early June because he'll be in jail, and the Chiefs' patience could be wearing thin. Health-wise, Rice should be fully recovered for the start of training camp this summer, but he could be facing another suspension from the NFL for violating the league's personal-conduct policy. If Rice isn't available for the start of the 2026 campaign, both Xavier Worthy and Tyquan Thornton would be the team's top pass-catchers for an offense that could be without quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) early on. Rice is now on tenuous ground as far as a WR1 in fantasy in redraft leagues in 2026.--Keith Hernandez
