New York Giants head coach John Harbaugh said the team remains in contact with free-agent wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. about a reunion, but that the Giants will "play it out over the next month and into training camp" before making a decision, according to Jordan Raanan of ESPN. The 33-year-old former 12th overall pick by the Giants in 2014 out of LSU worked out with the team last month and "looked good," according to Harbaugh. OBJ is interested in returning to the Big Apple, but Harbaugh said it has to make sense for both sides. The G-Men lost Wan'Dale Robinson in free agency this offseason, but they added Darnell Mooney and Calvin Austin III in free agency and drafted impressive rookie Malachi Fields. They also have Malik Nabers (knee) and Darius Slayton (abdomen), who are both recovering from injuries. Beckham sat out all of the 2025 season and had just nine catches for 55 yards with the Miami Dolphins in 2024. The veteran wideout broke his leg with the Giants and has suffered a torn ACL twice, making him a long shot to make a big impact in the NFL again with the Giants or any other team.--Keith Hernandez

Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton said that he thought quarterback Bo Nix (ankle) might be involved in the mid-June minicamp but would likely be limited, according to Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post. Payton also said that Nix would be full speed and throwing in July before training camp starts at the end of the month. Nix broke a bone in his right ankle in the Divisional Round playoff win over the Buffalo Bills, which kept him sidelined in the team's AFC Championship loss to the New England Patriots. The 26-year-old had surgery in January and was given a recovery timetable of 12 weeks. Unless Nix suffers a setback in his rehab or in training camp, he should be full-go for Week 1 of the 2026 regular season in his third year as Denver's starting QB. The former 12th overall pick out of Oregon led the league with 612 pass attempts in 2025 in a pass-happy Broncos offense, throwing for 3,931 yards, 25 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions in 17 regular-season starts to finish as the QB7 in fantasy. As long as his ankle doesn't limit his rushing prowess, Nix should be viewed as a rising dynasty commodity in Payton's offense for a Broncos team that added receiver Jaylen Waddle this offseason. RotoBaller has Nix ranked as the No. 11 dynasty QB going into the 2026 campaign.--Keith Hernandez

While playing in 16 games in his first season with Seattle, Seahawks wide receiver Cooper Kupp failed to crack 100 half-PPR fantasy points for the first time in his career. Dating back to his final two seasons in Los Angeles, he has now finished outside the top 40 at the position in three straight years, though 2025 marked the first time he fell so low without missing significant time. At nearly 33 years old, his once dominant fantasy days are clearly behind him, but at RotoBaller's dynasty WR118, he has now entered into the keep/drop conversation as managers struggle to find bench space for the incoming crop of rookies. Given the relative lack of receiver talent the Seahawks have behind Offensive Player of the Year Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Kupp should be held into the season wherever possible, a task made easier by the lackluster 2026 rookie class, but should an injury occur ahead of him on the depth chart, name recognition should still be enough to make him an immediate sell candidate.--Patrick McGrath

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren has finished as the RB25 or better in two of the past three seasons, and his well-rounded game has allowed him to thrive in whatever running back room he's a part of. While sharing the backfield with Najee Harris, Warren excelled in a pass-catching role, finishing with the fifth-most running back receptions in the league in 2023. With Kenneth Gainwell sopping up more than 80 targets in 2025, Warren churned out a career-high 958 yards on the ground en route to an RB16 finish. In free agent acquisition Rico Dowdle, the Steelers have added another back capable of working in both the run and pass game, but unlikely to dominate in either, at least not to the extent of Warren's previous teammates. Warren and Dowdle could see something close to a true 50/50 split in 2026, making the former well worth his current dynasty cost of RotoBaller's RB30, even if his ceiling is capped in a timeshare. However, should injuries force him into a larger role, Warren has proven upside, finishing as the RB15 or better in five of his nine 2025 games with at least a 50% snap share, and never below RB26.--Patrick McGrath

When on the field, San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey represents the biggest mismatch in fantasy football. Even in a down year by his own metrics, McCaffrey finished as the RB1 in 2025, his fifth top-three finish in as many healthy seasons. He touched the ball 44 more times than any other non-quarterback in the league, and while that sort of volume is exactly what makes him the most dominant asset in the game, it also makes him one of the riskiest. With McCaffrey taking 311 carries in 2025, it's important to note that he has handled more than 100 attempts in back-to-back seasons only one time since starting his career with three fully healthy campaigns, and he has never played more than six games following a season in which he carried the ball at least 220 times. At almost 30 years old, and with his past injury history pitted against his league-winning upside, he comes into organized team activities as RotoBaller's dynasty RB9. Given the way his last season went, it's likely he is already rostered by a contending team in most leagues, and while he profiles as an obviously risky hold, he remains, paradoxically, far too valuable to sell for the prices he's currently fetching.--Patrick McGrath

After a 2024 rookie season in which he caught 87 passes for 1,282 yards and 10 touchdowns, Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. saw his productivity crater in Year 2, and he now heads into his third season as RotoBaller's dynasty WR28 after reaching as high as WR5. While much of his rookie season success came with backup quarterback Mac Jones under center, the disconnect between Thomas and Trevor Lawrence was staggering in 2025, especially with Lawrence playing as the fantasy QB1 over the final ten weeks of the season and popping up in MVP conversations. Among receivers with at least 75 targets in 2025, only five players had a lower reception percentage than Thomas, while only Jerry Jeudy had more drops. With the Jaguars boasting one of the deepest receiver rooms in the league, there is no guarantee of Thomas getting back to his 2024 form, but the traits that made him a first-round pick and the fantasy WR4 as a rookie have not gone away. With his dynasty value having taken such a hit, the upside he represents could make him one of the best buy-lows for managers willing to gamble on talent.--Patrick McGrath

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Tre' Harris caught only 30 passes for 324 yards and a touchdown as a rookie, often left off the field in favor of Ladd McConkey, Quentin Johnston, and Keenan Allen. With significant changes coming to the Chargers' offense, there is a path for the 2025 second-round pick to take a significant step forward in year two. New offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel takes over for the far more conservative Greg Roman, which could mean more downfield opportunities for a player who averaged more than 17 yards per reception in his two years at Ole Miss. The Chargers also spent four of their eight 2026 draft picks on the offensive line and are expected to have both of their Pro Bowl tackles back and healthy for the start of the season, presumably allowing longer developing plays to operate more frequently on schedule. With Allen no longer on the roster, Los Angeles added speedy receiver Brenen Thompson in the fourth round of the NFL Draft, which is a win for Harris in terms of immediate target distribution, though the two young receivers could operate in similar roles. At RotoBaller's WR66, Harris is a dynasty hold who has the skills to become a weekly fantasy contributor. He could also spend another year buried on the depth chart should the Chargers elect to bring in additional pass catchers, ever a possibility given the team's recent hosting of free-agent tight end David Njoku, while Allen also remains on the market.--Patrick McGrath

New York Jets running back Braelon Allen is still the RB2 in New York heading into the 2026 season, but the 22-year-old's dynasty stock took a hit on Friday when it was announced that the Jets signed Breece Hall to a three-year, $45.75 million contract extension that makes him the third-highest-paid RB in the league. Allen suffered an MCL injury in 2025 in his second season in the NFL that limited him to four games played. He finished with just 18 carries for 76 yards and one touchdown while catching two passes for 17 yards after he rushed for 334 yards and two touchdowns in 17 games (two starts) in his rookie season in 2024. The former fourth-rounder (134th overall) in 2024 out of the University of Wisconsin could still have plenty of fantasy value if Hall were to go down with an injury, but now that Hall is under contract with the Jets for another three seasons beyond 2026, his upside in dynasty leagues will be tempered.--Keith Hernandez

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen's passing numbers took a slight dip in 2025, but he still finished as the QB1 in fantasy scoring for the fourth time in the last six seasons, thanks to his rushing prowess. Allen is the only QB with 500-plus rushing yards in each of the last five years. He's on another level in the rushing department, which gives him an incredibly high floor. He threw for 3,668 yards, 25 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions in 17 regular-season starts while adding 112 rushing attempts for 579 yards and 14 touchdowns on the ground. The 29-year-old might not have had the passing numbers that many were hoping for, but he did have a career-high best 69.3% completion percentage in an offense that lacked the deep threat through the air. Allen isn't going to be the most prolific passer in the league, but it certainly helps that he has a new weapon in 2026 in receiver DJ Moore, whom the Bills acquired this offseason from the Chicago Bears.--Keith Hernandez

Quarterback Kyler Murray's dynasty stock reached an all-time low last year when he didn't play beyond Week 5 with the Arizona Cardinals due to a foot sprain. It was the beginning of the end of his time in Arizona after the Cardinals took him with the first overall pick in 2019 out of Oklahoma. Despite playing in a career-low five games and finishing as the QB38 last year, the 28-year-old's dynasty stock is surging back upwards after he was released and signed a one-year, $36.8 million deal with the Minnesota Vikings. He will take over as the starter in Minnesota over J.J. McCarthy, and although Murray hasn't played a full season in four of the last five years due to injuries, he's a rising dynasty target because of his landing spot. Murray will have arguably one of the best receiving corps to work with in Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, and Jauan Jennings, not to mention tight end T.J. Hockenson. Murray should be asked to push the ball more down the field, and his high-end rushing upside will give him QB1 upside if he can stay on the field. He's in the best situation of his career. There is risk, but Murray has suddenly climbed up to the QB20 in RotoBaller's dynasty rankings going into 2026.--Keith Hernandez

Washington Commanders running back Rachaad White is being valued as a low-end RB4 in consensus dynasty rankings despite arguably landing in his best situation since finishing as the RB7 in 2023. For the past two seasons in Tampa, White has split the backfield with another capable pass-catcher in Bucky Irving, but upon signing a one-year deal with the Commanders, the dedicated receiving role looks to be entirely his. None of the other backs currently on the roster topped 26 receptions in 2025, and on his way to becoming Penn State's all-time leading rusher, sixth-round pick Kaytron Allen never recorded more than 18 catches in a season. White's 40 receptions in 2025 marked a career low after averaging 55 catches across his first three seasons. He is RotoBaller's dynasty RB35, despite exceeding that finish in each of the last three years, making him a low-cost trade target who should provide a safe weekly floor through target volume alone, while still having a chance to carve out a larger role in a below-average running back room.--Patrick McGrath

San Francisco 49ers tight end Jake Tonges had not recorded a single reception through his first three years in the league, but when called to action in place of an injured George Kittle, he answered the bell in 2025. In the seven regular-season games that Kittle either missed entirely or left due to injury, Tonges averaged 40.6 receiving yards while scoring four touchdowns and turning in five top-12 fantasy finishes. With Kittle tearing his Achilles in a Wild Card win over the Eagles and his status in doubt for the start of the 2026 season, Tonges is a must-roster player for all Kittle dynasty managers. While most such managers have already acquired him, those who have not are doing themselves a disservice. Because he offers little standalone value when Kittle is healthy (he registered only 1.0 Half-PPR points per game in contests started and finished by Kittle), Tonges' value is exponentially higher to Kittle's managers than anyone else, making him an easy player to deal for without breaking the bank. With San Francisco adding veteran receiver Mike Evans through free agency, Tonges' situational ceiling will likely be lower in 2026, but at RotoBaller's dynasty TE36, he still offers enough in the way of a red zone threat to serve as an emergency streamer until Kittle is back to full health.--Patrick McGrath

When Commanders tight end Chig Okonkwo agreed to a three-year deal with Washington in the opening days of free agency, he was viewed as one of the biggest winners of the early offseason. With Washington since spending a third-round pick on prototypical slot receiver Antonio Williams, a small amount of shine has come off the landing spot, but the talented fifth-year tight end still walks into the best situation of his young career. Okonkwo has never been on a team with a quarterback throwing for more than 3,200 yards or 15 touchdowns, numbers easily eclipsed as a rookie by 2024 first-round pick Jayden Daniels before injuries derailed his 2025 sophomore campaign. While a soon-to-be-31-year-old Terry McLaurin arguably represents the fiercest target competition Okonkwo has ever faced, the receiver depth behind him still ranks near the bottom of the league, even with the addition of Williams. With Okonkwo operating as the second or third option in what projects to be a highly competent offense, he could easily top his 56 receptions and 560 receiving yards from 2025, numbers that led a hapless Titans offense. At RotoBaller's dynasty TE17, the 26-year-old could still be undervalued with a ceiling capable of putting him just outside the top tiers of pass-catching tight ends.--Patrick McGrath

Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones Sr. missed five games in 2025 while struggling through hamstring, hip, and shoulder issues, but when healthy, he was still the team's preferred back on the field. He led first-year Viking Jordan Mason by nearly five offensive snaps and 12 yards from scrimmage per game. Minnesota was pegged as one of the most running back-needy teams heading into the 2026 NFL Draft, but they waited until late Day 3 to address the position, selecting Wake Forest's Demond Claiborne in the sixth round. While the 5'9", 195-pound rookie poses more of a threat to Jones than the 223-pound early down thumper Mason, the backfield is likely heading towards an even more ambiguous split. At 31 years old, Jones won't come close to approaching his former league-winning ceiling, but given his well-rounded skill set in both the run and pass games, he's still a safe bet to be the Vikings' most valuable back for fantasy. At RotoBaller's dynasty RB53, Jones is a low-cost add for contending managers seeking depth, with the understanding that, entering the final year of his current contract, he is unlikely to return value beyond 2026.--Patrick McGrath

When wide receiver Romeo Doubs signed a four-year, $68 million deal with the New England Patriots, he shot all the way up to WR35 in consensus dynasty rankings, but with A.J. Brown all but assumed to be joining the team on or after June 1st, he has fallen nearly 15 spots in those same rankings. When or if a trade for Brown does become official, the inevitable dip to Doubs' value could make him one of the most attractive trade-for candidates in dynasty leagues. He will still be tied to 23-year-old MVP runner-up Drake Maye for the foreseeable future, and with many presuming that a trade for Brown could include downfield specialist Kayshon Boutte heading to Philadelphia, Doubs' role in two-receiver sets could be secure. His ceiling would obviously be capped in an offense with the three-time Pro Bowler Brown, but with the latter turning 29 in June, there is a world in which the 26-year-old Doubs could see his role continue to grow as the Patriots build an offense around Maye. At RotoBaller's dynasty WR58, the market has already punished Doubs for the presumed trade, but should managers essentially double-count the deal once it becomes official, he becomes an even more obvious buy.--Patrick McGrath
