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.

Houston Texans wide receiver Jaylin Noel's production didn't jump off the page in his first year in the NFL in 2025, but he was versatile for the Texans and should enter Year 2 with a bigger role on offense. The 23-year-old third-round pick last year out of Iowa State mostly operated as Houston's No. 5 wideout and finished with 26 receptions on 35 targets for 292 yards and two touchdowns in 17 regular-season games (three starts). He also carried the ball six times for 12 yards. On special teams, Noel returned 29 kickoffs for 799 yards and 31 punts for 335 yards. His dynasty value in fantasy football leagues is on the rise as he gets ready for his second season in the NFL, and Noel should have a bigger role in the passing attack with Christian Kirk leaving in free agency. How big a role Noel has could be directly affected by whether Tank Dell (knee) makes a successful recovery from a career-threatening knee injury he suffered in 2024. With Dell likely being eased back into the fold, Noel could be the Texans' No. 3 pass-catcher behind Nico Collins and Jayden Higgins.

In his 13th NFL season in 2025 with the Los Angeles Chargers, wide receiver Keenan Allen caught 81 of his 122 targets for 777 yards and four touchdowns in 17 regular-season games (three starts). Allen finished second on the team in receiving yards, behind only second-year wideout Ladd McConkey. The 33-year-old six-time Pro Bowler spent the first 11 years of his NFL career with the Chargers before spending the 2024 campaign with the Chicago Bears. He returned to L.A. last year and caught touchdown passes in the first three games before tailing off and going over 50 receiving yards just once in his final 10 regular-season games. Now a free agent, it's currently unclear whether Allen will even continue his career in the NFL. If he does, he won't be much more than a touchdown-dependent WR4/flex option for fantasy managers, depending on his landing spot. If Allen doesn't re-sign with the Bolts, he could decide to hang up his cleats.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London played in a career-low 12 games in 2025 due to a knee injury, but he still managed to catch 68 passes for 919 yards and seven touchdowns on 112 targets in his fourth year in the NFL. That was good enough for him to finish as the WR17 in half-PPR scoring. Had the 24-year-old not been injured, he was on track for a career-best season while working with both quarterbacks Michael Penix Jr. (knee) and Kirk Cousins. The former eighth overall pick in the 2022 NFL draft out of USC has had at least 866 receiving yards in his four NFL seasons and will enter the 2026 campaign as Atlanta's clear WR1 in a new offense run by head coach Kevin Stefanski. On talent alone, London has clear WR1 upside in fantasy, but he could make for more of a volatile No. 2 given the uncertainty as to whether Penix will be ready for the start of the season. London's fantasy stock will surely take a hit if it's Tua Tagovailoa under center for the Falcons in Week 1 this fall.

Seattle Seahawks running back George Holani signed his exclusive-rights free-agent tender on Monday, according to John Boyle of the team's official website. Holani qualifies as an exclusive-rights free agent because his contract is expiring and he has fewer than three accrued seasons in the NFL. He signed as an undrafted free agent out of Boise State in 2024. The 26-year-old played in 11 games in 2025 during the regular season and had 22 rushing attempts for 73 yards and one touchdown, adding two catches for 15 yards. He was on Injured Reserve with a hamstring injury but returned late during Seattle's run to the Super Bowl. With Kenneth Walker III now gone and Zach Charbonnet (knee) unlikely to be ready for Week 1 of the 2026 regular season, Holani could have a prominent role in the Seahawks' backfield early on alongside Emanuel Wilson and whoever the team adds at the RB position in the upcoming NFL draft in April.

Long-time NFL cornerback Darius Slay announced on Monday that he is retiring from professional football, according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. Slay had a pretty productive career in the NFL after the Detroit Lions took in 36th overall in the second round of the 2013 draft out of Mississippi State. He spent the first seven years of his NFL career in Detroit before also spending five years with the Philadelphia Eagles and one year in 2025 with the Pittsburgh Steelers. The 35-year-old veteran was named to six Pro Bowls, was a former All-Pro in 2017, and won a Super Bowl ring with the Eagles in 2024. Over his 13-year career, Slah had 655 tackles (544 solo), one sack, 17 tackles for loss, 28 interceptions (three returned for touchdowns), 163 pass breakups, two forced fumbles, and six fumble recoveries (two returned for TDs) in 187 regular-season games (176 starts).

The San Francisco 49ers signed free-agent veteran wide receiver Christian Kirk to a one-year deal worth $6 million on Monday, according to Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports. Kirk was a disappointment with 28 catches on 52 targets for 239 yards and one touchdown in his 13 regular-season games (three starts) in 2025 in his only season with the Houston Texans. However, he did close out the year on a strong note in two playoff games, catching 10 passes for 164 yards and two touchdowns. Kirk is the latest addition to the Niners' WR room after the team signed future Hall of Fame pass-catcher Mike Evans in free agency last week. The additions of Evans and Kirk likely mean that Jauan Jennings won't be back in the Bay Area in 2026. Barring any additional injuries at the position in San Fran, Kirk figures to be the No. 3 behind Evans and Ricky Pearsall going into next season, his ninth in the NFL. After two straight rough seasons for Kirk, his fantasy value is way down, but landing in Kyle Shanahan's offense could make him a deep-league sleeper in PPR formats.

Free-agent WR Christian Kirk (Texans) agreed to terms on a one-year contract with the San Francisco 49ers Monday, March 16, worth $6 million, according to sources.

Fantasy Spin: Kirk will likely be a slot receiver for the 49ers and has a chance to see a decent amount of targets in the passing game. He could be a possible late round pick in deeper leagues but will not be a weekly starting option because of the other pass catchers the 49ers have on the roster.

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams posted another excellent season in 2025, recording 1,252 rushing yards and 10 rushing touchdowns on 259 carries across 17 games. The 25-year-old also posted his most productive NFL campaign as a receiver, hauling in 36 receptions for 281 yards and three scores on 50 targets. However, despite playing one more game, Williams saw 55 fewer touches in 2025 than he did in 2024, and he could be in line for an even steeper drop in workload in 2026. Fellow Rams running back Blake Corum emerged as a productive piece of the team's offense in 2025, averaging over five yards per carry on his way to 782 scrimmage yards and six total touchdowns. If Los Angeles fields one of the league's elite offenses once again in 2026, the team may be able to support quality fantasy production from two running backs. However, if the Rams' offense regresses or the team chooses to even out the touch distribution between its two backs even further, Williams might have a tough time maintaining fantasy RB1 production. To no fault of his own, Williams' dynasty value should be slightly downgraded after Corum's emergence in 2025.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua took his game to new heights in 2025, recording 129 catches for 1,715 yards and 10 touchdowns on 166 targets across 16 games played. The 24-year-old led the NFL in receptions and receiving first downs despite missing a contest and is now the league's all-time leader in receiving yards per game (95.3). With the Rams' elite play-caller/quarterback combination of Sean McVay and Matthew Stafford likely back in the mix in Los Angeles in 2026, Nacua should be well-positioned for another monster season. There's little doubt that Nacua is a fantasy WR1, so the real question is where he ranks among the truly elite players at his position. In dynasty startups, Nacua's combination of age and proven production track record makes him a viable choice as the number one wide receiver off the board. If he can stay healthy, Nacua seems like a safe bet to be among the league leaders in PPR points per game every year for the remainder of the decade.

New York Jets tight end Mason Taylor (neck) saw his rookie season get cut short by a neck injury that caused him to miss the final four games of 2025. However, the 21-year-old showed some encouraging flashes before getting hurt, recording 44 receptions for 369 yards and a touchdown on 65 targets across 13 games. While Taylor's numbers might not jump off the page, it's important to remember that he was mired in a brutal offensive environment in New York that featured journeymen quarterbacks Justin Fields and Tyrod Taylor as its starters for much of the year. Former Seattle Seahawks and Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Geno Smith currently projects as the Jets' starter heading into 2026, which could at least bring some stability to the position, if not high-end production. Outside of star wideout Garrett Wilson (knee), Taylor may be the favorite to finish second on the Jets in targets and receptions in 2026. His upside is still limited by the questionable situation around him in New York, but Taylor could be an undervalued tight end option for dynasty managers to target.
