The Athletic's James Boyd says he expects tight end Tyler Warren's volume to increase in 2026 in the absence of receiver Michael Pittman Jr., and he takes it a step further and says that regardless of who the Colts add at wideout, Warren "will be the team's No. 2 pass-catcher." Warren finished as the TE6 in half-PPR scoring in his first year in the NFL, catching 76 of his 112 targets for 817 yards and four touchdowns in 17 games played. His production tapered off after quarterback Daniel Jones suffered a season-ending torn Achilles tendon late in the year, but he still had a promising rookie year overall. His 76 catches were second-most on the team. The Colts re-signed tight ends Mo Alie-Cox and Drew Ogletree, but they will continue to primarily be used as blockers. Warren is one of the top dynasty TEs going into 2026, and he'll also have top-five upside at his position in single-year formats as long as Jones doesn't suffer any setbacks in his rehab.

The Indianapolis Colts signed free-agent veteran defensive tackle Jerry Tillery to an undisclosed deal on Tuesday, according to James Boyd of The Athletic. Tillery will head to the AFC South after spending his seventh year in the NFL in 2025 with the Kansas City Chiefs. The 29-year-old former first-round pick by the Los Angeles Chargers in 2019 out of Notre Dame had 20 tackles (eight solo), 1.5 sacks, and a fumble recovery in 17 games (three starts) in KC last year. Tillery will most likely compete for a rotational role on the interior of the Colts' defensive line in 2026, meaning he won't be on the IDP fantasy radar. Tiller has only started 53 of the 113 games he's appeared in over the course of his seven-year NFL career with four different teams. He has a total of 195 tackles (97 solo), 14 sacks, 17 tackles for loss, 46 QB hits, four pass breakups, four forced fumbles, and three fumble recoveries in his time in the NFL.

The Tennessee Titans re-signed running back Julius Chestnut to an undisclosed one-year deal on Tuesday, according to Jim Wyatt of TennesseeTitans.com. Chestnut will return for his fifth year in Nashville after he went undrafted out of Sacred Heart. In his four years in the NFL with the Titans, the 25-year-old has operated as a backup, carrying the ball only 42 times for 154 yards (3.7 yards per carry) and no rushing touchdowns in 43 games (zero starts). He's added five catches on eight targets for 52 yards as a pass-catcher. With the Titans' backfield largely unchained going into next season, Chestnut will most likely operate primarily in a special-teams role, leaving him mostly unattractive in all fantasy football formats. He was active in all 17 games in 2025, but he saw just 11 rushing attempts for 40 yards. He's currently the RB4 on Tennessee's depth chart behind Tony Pollard, Tyjae Spears, and Kalel Mullings.

The New Orleans Saints announced on Tuesday that they agreed to terms on an undisclosed one-year deal with free-agent running back Ty Chandler, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. The Saints added Travis Etienne Jr. to their backfield in free agency and could move on from veteran Alvin Kamara as a result. In the Big Easy, the 27-year-old Chandler will most likely be competing for backup duties with Kendre Miller, Devin Neal, and Audric Estime going into the 2026 season. The former fifth-round pick by the Minnesota Vikings in 2022 out of North Carolina was limited to only three games in 2025 due to injury, carrying the ball 17 times for 47 yards and catching three passes for 11 yards. Chandler's best season came in Year 2 in 2023, when he had 102 rushing attempts for 461 yards and three touchdowns, adding 21 receptions for another 159 yards in 17 games (four starts). With a likely limited role on offense with the Saints, Chandler is, at best, a dynasty/keeper stash for RB depth.

Dynasty | The Dolphins have traded wide receiver Jaylen Waddle to the Denver Broncos. Dynasty Analysis: The Broncos sent first, third and fourth round picks in this year's NFL Draft for Waddle and Miami's fourth round selection. That's a massive haul for Miami, who had been rumored to at least be listening to offers for Waddle, who will now form a potentially potent 1-2 punch at receiver with Courtland Sutton on a team far from afraid to throw the potential. Waddle should benefit slightly from the move but this is far from a slam dunk as he has a lot of other receivers to battle for targets.

Dynasty | The Eagles have signed wide receiver Marquise "Hollywood" Brown. Dynasty Analysis: Brown has bounced from Baltimore to Arizona to Kansas City over his seven years, failing to ever truly live up to his first round status from 2019. This move looks like one better in reality than fantasy at the moment as the Eagles currently have DeVonta Smith, AJ Brown and Dallas Goedert as their top pass catchers. However, this could also be a precursor to a trade of AJ Brown down the road. At this point, this signing doesn't move the needle much in terms of Hollywood's dynasty value. It would certainly rise if AJ Brown is dealt, though. Stay tuned.

New tight end Isaiah Likely, who received a three-year, $40 million contract in free agency, is expected to be a "featured piece" in the New York Giants' offense this year, according to Dan Duggan of The Athletic. Duggan adds that the Giants essentially swapped Likely in for receiver Wan'Dale Robinson, "signaling the shift in their offensive approach" under new head coach John Harbaugh and offensive coordinator Matt Nagy. Likely will be paired often with fellow TE Theo Johnson, while Chris Manhertz was re-signed as the primary blocker at the position. Likely, 25, was expected to be a bigger part of the Baltimore Ravens' offense in 2025 under Harbaugh, but the former fourth-rounder suffered a foot injury in the preseason and got a late start to the year. He never really recovered and finished with a career-low 27 catches for 307 yards and only one touchdown on 36 targets in 14 games (seven starts). Likely will be an obvious bounce-back candidate in fantasy football in 2026, although Johnson's presence could keep his ceiling low.

The Philadelphia Eagles are signing former Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquise Brown to a one-year deal worth up to $6.5 million on Tuesday, multiple sources told Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports. Hollywood played in just two games in his first year with the Chiefs in 2024 due to an injury, but he rebounded last year to catch 49 passes on 74 targets for 587 yards and five touchdowns in 16 games (six starts). The 28-year-old pass-catcher has been on the decline since posting his only 1,000-yard season back in 2021 with the Baltimore Ravens. However, Brown could have a decent role in Philly behind DeVonta Smith if the Eagles trade A.J. Brown this offseason. Brown's 2026 fantasy football value will depend largely on whether Brown ends up in another uniform heading into next season. For his career, Brown has averaged 11.6 yards per catch and has 4,322 receiving yards and 33 touchdowns on 371 catches in his seven NFL seasons.

The Denver Broncos are acquiring wide receiver Jaylen Waddle and a fourth-round draft pick (11th in the round) in 2026 from the Miami Dolphins on Tuesday in exchange for a first-round pick (30th overall) along with late third- and fourth-round picks (30th in each round) in this year's draft, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. It's a pretty big upgrade for quarterback Bo Nix and Denver's offense, as Waddle could end up leading the Broncos' pass-catchers in targets if he can stay healthy in 2026. It gives Nix another trusted weapon to throw to besides Courtland Sutton. The 27-year-old Waddle, who was drafted in the first round (sixth overall) in 2021 out of Alabama, started his career with three straight 1,000-yard seasons and led the NFL with 18.1 yards per catch in his sophomore season. He'll be a reliable target for Nix as the Broncos' offense looks to take the next step. It's a good landing spot for Waddle, although he'll definitely have more competition for targets than if he had stayed in Miami. His arrival in Denver is bad news for the dynasty values of both Troy Franklin and Pat Bryant.

Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson (Achilles) hasn't played a snap since the middle of the 2024 season, but it appears that he could get back on the fantasy football radar soon. Watson should be healthy (or at least near full health) ahead of the 2026 campaign, giving him a real chance to win the Browns' starting quarterback job. Not only does Watson have the best career stats among the Browns' quarterback room, but he also comes with the largest investment. Cleveland flipped three first-round picks for Watson, whereas Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders were merely Day 2 or 3 selections. Neither Gabriel nor Sanders, both of whom started games in 2025, put together very encouraging stat lines. Watson wasn't great when he last played, either, going 1-6 with 1,148 yards, five touchdowns, and three interceptions. However, his experience, track record, and investment likely make him the favorite to start at quarterback in Week 1, if he's healthy. With a talented, young group of skill players around him -- plus an improved offensive line in front of him -- Watson could sneakily become a fantasy option in deeper leagues. At worst, he has top-24 upside at the quarterback position in 2026.

Green Bay Packers running back MarShawn Lloyd will likely have an opportunity to compete for the backup role in 2026. The Packers recently watched Emanuel Wilson depart in free agency, leaving a void to be filled at the No. 2 running back spot behind Josh Jacobs. Green Bay could still add a free agent or draft a rookie to take that spot, but that hasn't happened yet. To this point, it seems like the Packers will lean on an existing internal option to back up Jacobs. Chris Brooks has a slight leg up on the competition, but Lloyd is absolutely in the mix, too. Lloyd carried impressive upside as a third-round pick in 2024, but a tumultuous series of injuries has limited his ability to get on the field. He has played offensive snaps in just one NFL game through two seasons, rushing for 15 yards on six carries. At this point, it appears Lloyd has been cleared of the hip, hamstring, and ankle injuries -- as well as the appendicitis -- that have plagued the early portion of his career. He's firmly in the mix to back up Jacobs this year, and given the starter's age and injury concerns in 2025, we could see a scenario where Lloyd is considered to start a couple of games next season. His price tag is at an all-time low, so it wouldn't hurt to send out a low-risk trade offer for the young running back in dynasty leagues.

Seattle Seahawks running back Emanuel Wilson landed in a more favorable spot this offseason, and now, he finds himself trending up in fantasy football. Wilson spent three years as a depth option in Green Bay before signing with the Seahawks last week. The former undrafted free agent posted at least 550 scrimmage yards in each of the last two seasons, offering the Packers a reliable backup to Josh Jacobs. Wilson ended up making two starts last year, including an impressive Week 12 performance in which he posted 28 carries, 107 rushing yards, two catches, 18 receiving yards, and a pair of touchdowns. Seattle lost Kenneth Walker III to the Kansas City Chiefs in free agency, and Wilson is the only significant backfield addition the Seahawks have made since then. The move pairs Wilson with Zach Charbonnet (knee), who could be the Seahawks' eventual starter but will first have to clear a major injury hurdle. Charbonnet is working his way back from a torn ACL that he suffered in the playoffs, so he might not be ready for Week 1 next season. Even if he does play, he likely won't be at 100%. At this point, it seems likely that Wilson -- not Charbonnet -- will take the Seahawks' first snap at running back in 2026, giving him plenty of early-season upside. As the Seahawks' potential lead back, Wilson can be an RB2 in fantasy football early next year, and similarly, he's a long-term RB3/flex with RB2 upside in dynasty formats. Managers should consider sending out trade offers for Wilson, since he's still currently affordable in dynasty leagues. He's an especially appealing option for Charbonnet's managers who want his handcuff.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jalen Nailor is expected to have increased fantasy value going forward. This offseason, Nailor hit free agency and signed with the Raiders, going from the No. 3 receiver in Minnesota to the potential No. 1 receiver in Vegas. He never quite emerged as a consistent week-over-week fantasy option in Minnesota, but he certainly flashed upside with a total of 10 touchdowns over the last two years. In each of those two seasons, he also had at least 28 catches and 414 yards. We don't quite know if Nailor is capable of making the jump to a top receiver role, so fantasy managers should temper expectations at least a little. Plus, Vegas also has Tre Tucker and Jack Bech on its roster, creating additional competition for Nailor, and we can't rule out the possibility of them drafting another pass-catcher. Finally, Vegas' offense could experience some growing pains in the first year under presumptive No. 1 pick Fernando Mendoza. All in all, there's upside here, but it's a bit too early to send out dynasty trade offers that would price Nailor as a top-40 fantasy receiver.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Chris Rodriguez Jr.'s new landing spot should benefit him long-term, and it also bodes well for his fantasy football managers. Rodriguez, a former Washington Commander, hit free agency this offseason and ultimately signed with the Jaguars. It was a very intriguing offseason move, as Jacksonville had recently lost Travis Etienne Jr. and was looking for someone to share the backfield with Bhayshul Tuten. While Tuten's one year of experience in the Jags' backfield gives him an early advantage on the lead-back role, we fully anticipate that Rodriguez will also be heavily involved. Rodriguez should play at least one-third of the snaps, and we'd have to imagine that Tuten still has somewhat of a short leash given his youth and lack of a track record. In other words, there's a path for Rodriguez to land the lead-back role if Tuten struggles or gets injured. Plus, Rodriguez already has a connection to head coach Liam Coen. At Kentucky in 2021, when Rodriguez was running for Kentucky and Coen was Kentucky's offensive coordinator, the former amassed 1,440 scrimmage yards and 12 touchdowns. All in all, Rodriguez is a very appealing "buy" in dynasty leagues this offseason.

Dynasty | The 49ers have signed wide receiver Christian Kirk. Dynasty Analysis: Kirk has had varying levels of success in the NFL but hasn't really put together a solid full season since 2022, his first year in Jacksonville. Still, a trio of receivers that includes Kirk, Mike Evans and Ricky Pearsall isn't bad and Kirk could find some sneaky PPR value. In the end, his ADP is probably going to stay pretty static and he may end up being more name than game on your dynasty roster, which isn't a great place to be. In short, he's a hold but could be a bit of a roster clogger.

Dynasty | The Jets have traded quarterback Justin Fields to the Kansas City Chiefs. Dynasty Analysis: Fields struggled mightily for the Jets last year before being replaced by veteran Tyrod Taylor, then saw New York add Geno Smith in the off-season as his permanent replacement. Fields could be in line to start if Patrick Mahomes isn't available for week one, but he's clearly seen as no more than a backup after real trouble with accuracy during his time with the Bears and Jets since he started his NFL career. Fields' ADP is tanking and while he has value in 2QB leagues, it may be pretty temporary in shallow ones.

Wide receiver Darnell Mooney had a disappointing second season with the Atlanta Falcons in 2025, but he could be poised to bounce back in 2026 after signing a one-year, $10 million contract with the New York Giants in free agency on Saturday. After four years with the Chicago Bears to begin his NFL career, the 28-year-old pass-catcher looked good in Atlanta in 2024, catching 64 of his 106 targets for 992 yards and a career-best five touchdowns in 16 games played. Mooney's 992 receiving yards were the second-most of his career. It wouldn't last, though, as he played in 15 games in 2025 and finished with a 32-443-1 line before being released. Mooney will essentially be replacing Wan'Dale Robinson in New York in 2026. Robinson had back-to-back 90-plus-catch seasons the last two years. Will Mooney come anywhere near that type of production? Probably not, especially in a new offense run by Matt Nagy, but it doesn't mean that Mooney won't bounce back as a late-round receiver sleeper in PPR formats.

Atlanta Falcons running back Nathan Carter went undrafted last year out of Michigan State and only saw nine carries for 60 yards in seven games played in 2025 in his first year in the NFL. Seven of his nine carries on the year came in the team's Week 3 loss to the Carolina Panthers. The 23-year-old was buried on the RB depth chart behind both Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier. Carter should have a much bigger role in 2026, though, after Allgeier left in free agency. The Falcons could still add to the position via the NFL draft in April, but as things currently stand, Carter appears to be the handcuff option for fantasy managers who take Robinson at No. 1 overall in fantasy football drafts this fall. The only other running back on the Falcons' current roster is Carlos Washington Jr., who hasn't played a single snap on offense in his two years in the NFL.

Wide receiver Jalen Tolbert could be the Miami Dolphins' new No. 2 wideout after they signed him to a one-year deal last Friday. The Dolphins also added former Los Angeles Rams receiver Tutu Atwell in free agency, but Tolbert will be the favorite to take over as Miami's WR2 after the team released Tyreek Hill (knee). The 27-year-old former third-round pick (88th overall) by the Dallas Cowboys in 2022 out of South Alabama had a career-best 49-610-7 line in 17 regular-season games with Dallas in 2024, but he regressed in 2025 for an 18-203-1 line in 13 games after the addition of wideout George Pickens. With a reportedly strong relationship with new quarterback Malik Willis, Tolbert could be in store for a breakout campaign if he opens the 2026 season as the team's WR2 behind Jaylen Waddle. In his four seasons in Dallas, Tolbert racked up 1,093 yards and 10 touchdowns. Miami could add to the WR position in April's draft, but as of right now, Tolbert is looking like a potential under-the-radar sleeper at the position for fantasy football.

Cleveland Browns running back Dylan Sampson was much more effective as a pass-catcher than as a traditional RB in his first year in the NFL in 2025. Sampson played in 15 games (two starts) and had 175 carries and no touchdowns on 65 rushing attempts (2.7 yards per carry). As a pass-catcher, he caught 33 of 40 targets for 271 yards and two touchdowns. The 21-year-old fourth-round selection out of the University of Tennessee figures to have a similar role in 2026 as a pass-catching specialist behind starter Quinshon Judkins. Sampson should have a slightly bigger role as well with Jerome Ford out of town, but in a Browns offense that could once again struggle given their less-than-ideal situation at quarterback, Sampson will mostly be a late-round handcuff option for Judkins' managers in single-year PPR leagues. Sampson is a bit more attractive in dynasty/keeper leagues as a hold for depth purposes.
