Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum was PFF's third-highest graded running back over the final six weeks of the 2025 season, with only Derrick Henry topping his five rushing touchdowns over that span. With the Rams making a concerted effort to preserve Kyren Williams for an eventual playoff run, Corum saw his involvement rise by nearly four touches per game from the first half of the season to the second. With reigning MVP Matthew Stafford returning for one more season, and Los Angeles already pushing their chips in for another title run, Corum and Williams could be in line for even closer to a 50/50 regular-season workload split. At worst, Corum should be one of the most valuable fantasy handcuffs in 2026, though he could realistically carry standalone flex value into his third professional season.

Veteran tight end Mo Alie-Cox has agreed to a one-year deal that will keep him with the Indianapolis Colts for his 10th season. At 6'5" and 267 pounds, Alie-Cox is a red zone threat that must be accounted for, as evidenced by his 16 career touchdowns, but his most notable contribution is as one of the premier run-blocking tight ends in the league. Three-time Pro-Bowl running back Jonathan Taylor has topped 1,400 rushing yards and double-digit touchdowns in back-to-back seasons, and if the recently re-signed Daniel Jones can return to form following a season-ending Achilles injury, Taylor is a legitimate threat for the second rushing title of his career.

From Weeks 4 through 10 of the 2025 season, New York Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart was the QB3 across most fantasy formats. He would miss the next two weeks with a concussion and finish as QB13 across his 12 starts. He now enters 2026 with an improved supporting cast and a chance to take a massive leap in year two. The Giants have added tight end Isaiah Likely and wide receiver Darnell Mooney through free agency and are expected to see the returns of Malik Nabers and Cam Skattebo, both of whom ended their season on injured reserve. Dart finished his rookie year with nearly 500 yards on the ground and nine rushing touchdowns, and his rushing prowess will continue to provide a safe fantasy floor, but with the notable upgrades to the weaponry around him, his upside case is as strong as any quarterback outside the fantasy elite.

Free agent wide receiver Darnell Mooney has agreed to a one-year deal with the New York Giants worth up to $10 million. Mooney was pegged as a popular sleeper candidate with the Falcons in 2025, but dealt with injuries and inconsistency and was unable to top 75 receiving yards in any of his 15 starts. He now brings an element of speed to a Giants' offensive unit that has already added tight end Isaiah Likely through free agency and is expected to have both Malik Nabers and Cam Skattebo back from season-ending injuries. Quarterback Jaxson Dart's 11.9-yard ADoT in his final season at Ole Miss was among the highest in the nation, and he should benefit from the addition of another downfield threat.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton was a top-15 fantasy receiver for the second year in a row in 2025, but he was very inconsistent week over week and saw his role diminish as some of the Broncos' younger receivers stepped into larger roles. Sutton had eight games with at least 16.7 full-PPR points, but he also had four games with fewer than 5.5 fantasy points, which is far from ideal for someone being drafted as a WR2. He also had four different games with just one catch as the Broncos worked to feature Pat Bryant and Troy Franklin. Bryant, a rookie, registered at least seven fantasy points, three catches, and four targets in each of his last five games. Meanwhile, Franklin, a second-year receiver, had three games with at least 20 points and finished as the overall WR31. It may be too soon to predict that either Bryant or Franklin will completely outscore Sutton in year-long fantasy football, but the 31-year-old is definitely a riskier pick in 2026 given his teammates' ascensions. Sutton is best viewed as a low-end WR2 or high-end WR3 with a floor outside the top 36 receivers.

Los Angeles Chargers running back Omarion Hampton continues to trend upward ahead of the 2026 season. Hampton is coming off an impressive rookie campaign and should now benefit from playing in a system led by offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel. Under McDaniel's leadership last year, the Dolphins had the fourth-most rushing yards per carry, so we would expect Los Angeles to adopt a run-heavy system with similar success in 2026. Hampton had 380 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns through his first four games, but a midseason injury interrupted his progress and led to subpar results at the end of the year. Now that he's heading into his second season and is healthy, Hampton should take that next step forward and produce as a potential top-12 fantasy running back. He'll also benefit from having more protection in front of him, as the Chargers' league-worst offensive line added projected starters Tyler Biadasz and Cole Strange this offseason.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice has struggled with availability over the last two seasons, and he's likely hoping to re-find the productivity he demonstrated as a rookie back in 2023. Over the last two years, Rice has been held to just 12 total games due to injury and suspension. He managed to tally 571 yards and five touchdowns across eight games in 2025, but he only finished as the WR40 in PPR leagues. By the time he returned after his eight-week suspension, it was too late for many of his fantasy managers to get back into contention. Being available for 17 games in 2026 would be ideal for Rice and his fantasy managers, as he has the ability to produce 1,000 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns. Unfortunately, there's still plenty of risk associated with drafting him. Rice faces an unresolved lawsuit for domestic violence and could end up being suspended again. Much like last year, we could see Rice's status remain in limbo deep into the summer, leaving plenty of uncertainty and doubt for fantasy managers. There's top-24 upside here if Rice plays 17 games, but we could also see a scenario where he misses half the year once again.

The Los Angeles Chargers have re-signed quarterback Trey Lance to a one-year deal worth up to $6.75 million, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com. Lance continues to operate in a depth role, as he has made just 16 appearances (six starts) since being drafted third overall by the San Francisco 49ers in 2021. He backed up Justin Herbert in Los Angeles last year, making four appearances and one start. He finished the year 0-1 with a 47.4% completion rate, 226 passing yards, zero touchdowns, and one interception. He also rushed for 85 yards on the ground. Lance isn't a very flashy name, and the $6.75 million maximum value of his deal likely has a much lower base rate with plenty of playing time-based incentives. He's avoidable in all fantasy leagues as long as Herbert remains healthy, and even if the starter misses time, Lance wouldn't be a very appealing streamer.

The Philadelphia Eagles are expected to move wide receiver A.J. Brown this offseason, with Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk now describing a trade as "inevitable." At this point, it sounds like it's truly a matter of when -- not if -- Brown will be dealt. June 1 remains a popular date being thrown around, as trading Brown after that point would result in significantly fewer salary cap consequences for the Eagles. As a result, we may see trade rumors continue to run rampant for another two-and-a-half months. Which teams might be in on Brown, though? Florio reports that the Rams, who were previously seen as a top landing spot, have "tapped out of the talks." It would have been an interesting fit anyway, given that Los Angeles already has Puka Nacua and Davante Adams on its roster. Instead, Florio writes that the Patriots are viewed as the favorite to acquire Brown, with one NFL source predicting "that the Patriots will be the eventual destination." That would make more sense than the Rams; although New England signed Romeo Doubs this offseason, they're still in search of a No. 1 receiver after releasing Stefon Diggs. Reuniting Brown with head coach Mike Vrabel would pay dividends for the Patriots' offense, and it would also solidify quarterback Drake Maye's status as a top-three quarterback in fantasy football.

The Tennessee Titans and wide receiver Calvin Ridley have agreed to a restructured deal that will keep the veteran in Nashville for the 2026 season, according to Tom Pelissero. Ridley signed a top-of-the-market four-year deal in 2024, but has yet to make a meaningful impact in Tennessee, dealing with poor quarterback play over parts of the past two seasons and missing ten games to injury in 2025. Perhaps no offense in the league looks different than the Titans since the signing of that deal, with three of the team's four leading receivers in 2025 being rookies and the team bringing in a new head coach and offensive coordinator to guide Cam Ward in 2026. The new regime recently added Wan'Dale Robinson in free agency, a move likely to push the 31-year-old Ridley into more of a situational role as Chimere Dike, Elic Ayomanor, and tight end Gunnar Helm all look to take a year-two leap.

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor finished 2025 as the RB2 despite a late-season injury to quarterback Daniel Jones that allowed defenses to stack the box against him for the final month of the season. He is currently valued around RB7 and coming off the board near the 3/4 turn in dynasty startups. Still only 27 years old and on pace for nearly 2,200 yards from scrimmage and 24 touchdowns prior to the Jones injury, Taylor is in play for the overall RB1 in 2026, making him an obvious buy for contenders or drafters starting with a win-now approach. Recent reports have indicated that Jones could be ready for the start of the season, and aside from the loss of Michael Pittman Jr., who was shipped to Pittsburgh for a late-round pick swap, the Colts offense will look quite similar to the unit that began 2025 on a historic tear en route to a 7-1 start.

Titans running back Tony Pollard has quietly strung together four straight 1,200-plus-yard campaigns while scoring no fewer than five touchdowns. While Tennessee was one of the most aggressive spenders in the early waves of free agency, the backfield remains relatively unchanged from 2025. Pollard's role heading into 2026 again looks to carry underrated fantasy relevance, but there is no escaping the growing rumors tying Tennessee to Notre Dame prospect Jeremiyah Love with the 4th overall pick in the NFL Draft. With new offensive coordinator Brian Daboll's history of elevating quarterback play and increasing scoring opportunities, whoever lands the starting running back job for the Titans should find themselves in a suddenly attractive situation. Unfortunately for Pollard, the drafting of Love would all but signal the end of his week-to-week fantasy relevance.

Running back David Montgomery, recently acquired via trade by the Houston Texans, has had his contract upgraded by the team, with the two-year deal now worth up to $16.5 million. The revised contract, which features a $6.5 million signing bonus and heavy per-game active roster bonuses, signals that the Texans view him as their clear starter following a season in which rookie Woody Marks led the team in carries, but no back topped 200 attempts or more than 13 carries per game. Playing in a supporting role to Pro-Bowler Jahmyr Gibbs in Detroit, Montgomery has also failed to reach the 200-carry mark in either of the past two seasons, giving him relatively fresh legs as he prepares for his age-29 campaign.

Playing in parts of only nine games in 2025, Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin Jr. put up the worst statistical campaign of his nine-year career, recording personal lows in receptions and yards, while his two receiving touchdowns were the lowest since his rookie year in 2017. Entering 2026, the Buccaneers will be without future Hall of Famer Mike Evans for the first time in over a decade, opening a target vacuum that Godwin could be first in line to fill. Godwin missed the first three games of 2025, opening a window for first-round pick Emeka Egbuka to form an early rapport with Baker Mayfield, but the chemistry faded down the stretch, and it was Godwin who received the second-most looks behind Evans over the final month of the season. One more year removed from the brutal ankle injury that ended his 2024 season, Godwin should see his target share and raw opportunities spike to the pre-injury count that saw him top 1,000 yards for five straight seasons.

Across 16 games in 2025, New York Jets running back Isaiah Davis recorded 422 scrimmage yards and a touchdown on 64 touches across 16 games played. The 24-year-old appeared to have a golden opportunity to carve out a more significant role in the backfield after fellow Jets running back Braelon Allen (knee) suffered a season-ending knee injury in Week 4. However, Davis averaged just four touches per contest as he struggled to steal work away from Jets RB1 Breece Hall. Heading into 2026, Allen should be back in the mix, and New York recently placed the franchise tag on Hall. Barring injury, Davis appears likely to be buried on his team's running back depth chart. With a career average of 5.6 yards per carry, Davis maintains some dynasty upside, but he may need a trade out of New York to fully realize it.

Free agent wide receiver Christian Kirk is coming off the least productive season of his career in 2025, as he hauled in 28 receptions for 239 yards and a touchdown on 52 targets across 13 games with the Houston Texans. The 29-year-old was able to provide impressive production in the postseason, recording 10 catches for 164 yards and a touchdown on 15 targets across two contests. Still, Kirk has now recorded just two combined touchdown grabs over the past two regular seasons and has logged back-to-back years with fewer than 30 receptions. He's also had his struggles staying on the field in recent years, missing 18 games over the past three seasons. While Kirk should eventually find a home for 2026, it seems unlikely that he will be counted on to play a significant role in any team's passing game as he enters his age-30 season. Kirk's fantasy value in dynasty formats is fading after his production decline in 2025.

The Green Bay Packers are a "team to monitor" regarding Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson Sr., per ESPN's Stephen Holder. Holder reports that no deal is imminent, but that Richardson Sr. is known to be available via trade. The former number four overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft lost his starting role to Daniel Jones (Achilles) heading into the 2025 season, and the Colts recently re-signed Jones to a lucrative new contract. The Packers have Jordan Love firmly in place as their QB1 of both the present and the future. However, Green Bay recently lost former backup quarterback Malik Willis, who signed with the Miami Dolphins in free agency. Richardson Sr. owns a similar dual-threat profile to Willis, so the Packers could be viewing him in a similar mold. Based on the job Green Bay did to rehab Willis after he flamed out with the Tennessee Titans, a trade to the Packers might be the best-case scenario for Richardson Sr.'s long-term outlook.

The San Francisco 49ers did a simple restructure on All-Pro pass-rusher Nick Bosa's contract on Saturday, clearing $17.172 million in salary cap space for this year, according to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network. Bosa is still due $23.18 million this year, but his 2027 camp number is now a whopping $54,866,753. The Niners are clearly prioritizing winning now over long-term cap relief. The 28-year-old defensive end only played in three games in 2025 in his seventh year in the league due to a torn ACL that he suffered in late September. The 49ers are hopeful that the five-time Pro Bowler will be back in time for training camp this summer. Bosa's health will be crucial in determining whether the Niners' defense can bounce back in 2026. Before his torn ACL last year, he had 17 tackles (nine solo) and two sacks. Injuries have been an issue for him in his career, but if Bosa is healthy, he's one of the best pass-rushers in the NFL. He has 64.5 sacks in 85 regular-season games (83 starts).

The Washington Commanders agreed with former Cleveland Browns running back Jerome Ford on an undisclosed one-year deal on Saturday, according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. Ford will head to the NFC East after spending the first four years of his career playing in Cleveland, where he averaged 4.3 yards per carry for 1,463 rushing yards and seven touchdowns on 340 carries over 57 games (18 starts). The 26-year-old played in a career-low 13 games for the Browns in 2025 and had just 24 rushing attempts for 73 yards and no touchdowns while adding 26 catches for 103 yards through the air on 32 targets. The former fifth-rounder in 2022 out of Cincinnati will now join a Washington backfield that also features Jacory Croskey-Merritt and Rachaad White. Ford is likely to serve in a rotational RB3 role yet again in 2026 behind JCM and White, leaving him very little fantasy appeal to those in very deep leagues.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Kaleb Johnson had an incredibly disheartening rookie season in 2025, tallying just 69 rushing yards and nine receiving yards. He was a healthy scratch seven times, and he didn't register a single return on special teams after Week 2. The Iowa product quickly became a non-factor on the Steelers' roster, which was somewhat surprising since the team drafted him in the third round of last year's draft. Johnson's outlook with the Steelers could be dissipating as quickly as it was ignited. Between his subpar 2025 season and the arrival of a new coaching staff that has no pre-existing ties to him, Johnson seems like he could be the odd man out in Pittsburgh's backfield next year. The Steelers signed Rico Dowdle to pair with Jaylen Warren, so at best, Johnson will be the team's No. 3 running back. It's only been a year, but he's already droppable in most dynasty leagues.
