Dolphins | Tyreek Hill uncertain for 2026 Sun Feb 8, 02:21 PM
Miami Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill's (knee) availability for the 2026 season is uncertain at this point, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.

Bears | Press Taylor promoted to OC Sun Feb 8, 02:19 PM
Chicago Bears passing game coordinator Press Taylor was named as the team's new offensive coordinator Sunday, Feb. 8. However, head coach Ben Johnson will continue to be responsible for calling offensive plays.
| Footballguys view: Taylor wasn't a big success at previous stops, but he won't be calling plays in Chicago, and he has had time to add to his repertoire under Johnson last season. This is good news for Caleb Williams because it represents continuity in the passing game that Taylor coordinated last season. |
Packers | Romeo Doubs could return to Green Bay Sun Feb 8, 02:19 PM
Green Bay Packers impending free-agent WR Romeo Doubs could be a fit for the Las Vegas Raiders and Tennessee Titans, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com, but Fowler believes the 'door isn't closed' on Doubs re-signing in Green Bay.
| Footballguys view: It's doubtful that Green Bay would pay the market value for Doubs, which is going to be at least $13-15 million a season, and likely more. They have Jayden Reed, Christian Watson, and Matthew Golden, so a team that is more needy at wide receiver like Las Vegas or Tennessee will be more willing to pay up for Doubs. Doubs should have a larger role and more value in fantasy leagues if he signs elsewhere. |
Cardinals | Malik Willis an option in Arizona? Sun Feb 8, 02:19 PM
Green Bay Packers impending free-agent QB Malik Willis could be pursued by the Arizona Cardinals in free agency if the Cardinals part ways with QB Kyler Murray, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: The Dolphins should be considered the favorite to get Willis because new head coach Jeff Hafley is familiar with him from their time together in Green Bay along with the Dolphins likely need for a new starter after they seemed to move on from Tua Tagovailoa when he was benched late last season. As we saw in 2025, Willis could be a top 6-8 fantasy quarterback with a QB1 ceiling in any given week if he is a starter, so he's probably undervalued in early best ball drafts and dynasty leagues right now. |
Colts | Daniel Jones the top priority? Sun Feb 8, 02:19 PM
Indianapolis Colts QB Daniel Jones is the team's top priority in free agency, followed by WR Alec Pierce, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: Jones returning to the Colts is almost a foregone conclusion. Any other team that wants to make a run for him will have to give him a starting quarterback salary and only the Colts are sure they can get production and leadership that is worth that. Colts fantasy options will probably get a small bump in value when this deal gets done, and another if Jones ends up on track to start Week 1. |

Cardinals | Kyler Murray staying put? Sun Feb 8, 02:19 PM
Arizona Cardinals QB Kyler Murray's future with the team hasn't been decided, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com, and Fowler believes it is still possible that Murray remains with the team next season.
| Footballguys view: What this probably means is that the Cardinals are realizing no one is going to trade for Murray with a $22 million+ price tag for 2026 that includes a $17 million roster bonus and $19+ million that guarantees for 2027 on the fifth day of the league season in May. They could release Murray, but will be on the hook for his 2026 salary, so Mike LaFleur might just decide to let Murray and Jacoby Brissett wage a quarterback competition in camp. We know who fantasy players will be rooting for. |

Packers | Start extension talks with Tucker Kraft Sun Feb 8, 02:19 PM
Green Bay Packers TE Tucker Kraft (knee) and the team have already begun talks about a potential contract extension. Prior to suffering a torn ACL on Nov. 2, Kraft was leading the team with 32 receptions, 489 yards and six touchdowns across eight games. 'Obviously, he's a really important part of this football team,' general manager Brian Kutekunst said. 'We've obviously been in contact with him and just let him know how we feel and we'll kind of see how it goes.'
| Footballguys view: Kraft was the #1 tight end in PPR points per game when he went down. Trey McBride passed him in the high pass volume Jacoby Brissett offense, but Kraft would have still be TE2 in 2025 fantasy leagues if he had sustained his first half production pace. It won't cost that much to get him in 2026, but if he isn't the same player when he first returns from his injury, he might not pay off at ADP. We will be tracking his recovery closely to advise you on whether to target the best tight end after the catch in the game this summer. |

Cowboys | Dallas expected to tag George Pickens Sun Feb 8, 02:19 PM
Dallas Cowboys WR George Pickens is expected to have the franchise tag placed on him, league sources said Saturday, Feb. 7. The projected cost of the one-year, fully guaranteed franchise tag is estimated to be around $28 million. The team can apply the franchise tag to Pickens anytime between Feb. 17 and March 3.
| Footballguys view: It would have been much more surprising to hear that the Cowboys were going to leave any possibility of Pickens leaving after his breakthrough season. He's going to go in the second round of many drafts this season, but he was worth that last season. The best way to take advantage of this is target Dak Prescott, who should be in line for huge numbers if Pickens, CeeDee Lamb, and his offensive stay healthy. |
49ers | Christian McCaffrey wins Comeback Player award Sun Feb 8, 02:19 PM
San Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey was named the 2025 NFL Comeback Player of the Year Award. He led the 49ers in both rushing and receiving yardage in 2025, totaling over 2,000 scrimmage yards after playing just four games in 2024.
| Footballguys view: Fantasy players that believed in McCaffrey's ability to return to his previous high level of play (and win this award) were rewarded with the most valuable player in fantasy football in 2025. He's likely to stay in the mid first round again in 2026, but it's doubtful that anyone who took McCaffrey there in 2025 would pass on him this summer. |

Seahawks | Team wants Kenneth Walker back in 2026 Sun Feb 8, 02:19 PM
Seattle Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker III, an impending free agent after Super Bowl LX, has stepped up his play in the postseason with four rushing touchdowns after fellow RB Zach Charbonnet (knee) went down with a torn ACL earlier in the playoffs. 'He's a phenomenal player, he's a great person, he's a great teammate,' head coach Mike Macdonald said. 'Again, those are things we are going to have to worry about, but not right now. Those are decisions we'll make in the future, but he knows how we feel about him, and I think we know how Ken feels about us.'
| Footballguys view: We should write Walker's name in the 2026 Seahawks plans in pencil, if not in pen. The price of a transition or franchise tag is reasonable for running backs, the Seahawks don't want to go into 2026 with neither of their running back duo available in Week. Walker could have a higher fantasy ceiling elsewhere as a true lead back, but he should at least begin the season as the lead back in Seattle while Charbonnet is rounding back into form from his injury. |
Falcons | Kirk Cousins expected to be released Sun Feb 8, 02:19 PM
Atlanta Falcons QB Kirk Cousins is expected to be released before the start of the new league year in March. That gives him a choice where or if he wants to play in the 2026 season, league sources said Saturday, Feb. 7.
| Footballguys view: Minnesota should be considered a possibility with their need for a veteran quarterback to compete with (or replace?) JJ McCarthy, and the word is that Cousins is open to returning there. The Vikings may go after a big fish like Joe Burrow, but if they aren't successful, Cousins is a viable Plan B, and he would be able to restore a lot of the fantasy value Justin Jefferson lost last season. |

Cowboys | George Pickens a trade option? Sun Feb 8, 01:29 PM
Updating a previous report, Dallas Cowboys impending free-agent WR George Pickens is expected to receive the franchise tag this offseason, but a sign-and-trade is still a possible option for Pickens, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Tom Pelissero and Mike Garafolo.
| Footballguys view: Given Pickens reputation, there might not be many teams willing to give him a huge guaranteed money number on a second contract since he did show some of the behavior and play that seemed to wear thin during his three-year stint with the Steelers. We still expect Pickens to be a Cowboys next season, but will be monitoring the grapevine for a possible team that would give draft compensation for the privilege of paying Pickens a number that represents generational wealth. |
Ravens | BAL, Lamar Jackson to talk extension Sun Feb 8, 01:15 PM
Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson is expected to have contract extension talks with the Ravens this offseason, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Tom Pelissero and Mike Garafolo.
| Footballguys view: This will be a situation to watch closely, as it took a long time for general manager Eric DeCosta to find common ground with Jackson (who does not retain an agent) during his last contract negotiation. Jackson is going to be a free agent in 2027 and an extension would make his cap hits more manageable over the next two years, but the team let his quarterback coach Tee Martin go, and it appears they also believe he was to blame for some of the team's underachievement even though John Harbaugh took the fall for the recent pattern of perennial disappointment. |

Colts | Indy expected to offer Daniel Jones extension Sun Feb 8, 12:58 PM
The Indianapolis Colts plan to open talks with QB Daniel Jones on a multi-year contract extension this offseason, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. However, if they cannot work out a long-term deal, the team may consider using the franchise tag on him.

Dolphins | Tua Tagovailoa not expected to return Sun Feb 8, 12:28 PM
Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa is increasingly likely to be playing with a different team next season, although the organization has not made a final decision, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. The Dolphins would likely have to eat most of the $54 million in guaranteed money that Tagovailoa is slated to earn in 2026 if he is traded and a $45.2 million dead cap charge would be applied to the salary cap. However, releasing him would allow Miami to spread the dead cap charge over two years and they would then have to pay Tagovailoa $3 million in fully guaranteed money in 2027.
| Footballguys view: It's hard to know where Tagovailoa would fit, and it seems unlikely that he would be brought in anywhere as a starter, except maybe Cleveland or the Jets, which isn't exciting for them or him. He would be better off as a backup under a rising offensive star head coach like Ben Johnson or Liam Coen to reboot and update his software for his next opportunity like Daniel Jones did during his short stint with Minnesota. |

Eagles | No recent trade talks involving A.J. Brown Sun Feb 8, 12:17 PM
Philadelphia Eagles WR A.J. Brown's future with the club remains in question, although the team has not engaged in any trade talks involving him, according to multiple sources. NFL Network's Mike Garafolo added that the Eagles have only had brief talks with Brown's camp recently.
| Footballguys view: There's a non zero chance that Brown gets traded (New England and Buffalo seem like good trade partners), but we shouldn't rule out the possibility that he stays with the Eagles. The cap hit would be big if they deal him, but that we are seeing teams more willing to take dead cap on to move a team forward. Still, with every passing day that we aren't hearing buzz about a Brown trade, the likelihood of him being an Eagle next season goes up. |

Bengals | CIN unlikely to entertain Joe Burrow trade offers Sun Feb 8, 12:06 PM
Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow is not expected to have trade offers involving him entertained by the Bengals but the team is willing to spend to build around him this offseason, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
| Footballguys view: It never hurts for teams like Minnesota to ask, but with the Bengals committed to Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, it makes no sense for them to deal Burrow. |

Steelers | Chances of Aaron Rodgers returning increasing Sun Feb 8, 11:31 AM
Pittsburgh Steelers impending free-agent QB Aaron Rodgers appears increasingly likely to return to the club for the 2026 season, even though he has not officially announced that he will continue his playing career, in the opinion of NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. In recent weeks, Rodgers has spoken with WR DK Metcalf and new head coach Mike McCarthy multiple times. The Steelers are hopeful that Rodgers will make a final decision regarding his status for 2026 prior to the start of free agency in mid-March.
| Footballguys view: When McCarthy was hired this was expected even though all of the reports said that wasn't why the Steelers hired McCarthy. Offensive line coach James Campen is also close to Rodgers, so it just makes sense that he would want to return. Rodgers could be more production in 2026 playing with an offensive coaching staff that knows his game and works well with him. |

Texans | Dino Vasso to receive extension Sun Feb 8, 10:45 AM
Houston Texans defensive backs coach Dino Vasso will receive a new contract extension from the team and will no longer be under consideration for coaching jobs elsewhere, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Mike Garafolo and Tom Pelissero. He had been a candidate for defensive coordinator positions with the Cleveland Browns, Las Vegas Raiders, Tennessee Titans and Arizona Cardinals.

Chiefs | Travis Kelce to discuss future plans with KC Sun Feb 8, 10:04 AM
Kansas City Chiefs TE Travis Kelce plans to get in touch with the team after the Super Bowl to discuss his future plans, according to multiple sources. The 36-year-old had reportedly been contemplating retirement but the Chiefs would like him to return for at least one more season.
| Footballguys view: Kelce wasn't any better for fantasy in 2025 than he was in 2024 even though Rashee Rice was suspended for the first six games of the season and Patrick Mahomes returned to elite fantasy QB1 form. If he does return, he won't be more than a late round pick in fantasy league. |

NFL | Several clubs have shown interest in Derek Carr Sun Feb 8, 09:39 AM
Retired QB Derek Carr (Saints) has had several NFL teams do due diligence on him, in order to determine if he would be interested in making a comeback. According to multiple sources, the 34-year-old would consider a return to the league in an ideal situation with the right coaching staff. The New Orleans Saints currently retain Carr's contractual rights but would be likely to part with him, given the emergence of QB Tyler Shough.
| Footballguys view: Carr would make sense as a mentor for Fernando Mendoza in Las Vegas under Klint Kubiak, who was the architect of the last peak of Carr's career in New Orleans at the beginning of the 2024 season. Pittsburgh also could be interested in Carr as a competent starting option if Aaron Rodgers doesn't return and they prefer Carr to Joe Flacco. |

Bengals | Joe Flacco could return Sat Feb 7, 02:53 PM
Cincinnati Bengals impending free-agent QB Joe Flacco is a player that the Bengals are interested in re-signing this offseason, according to ESPN.com's Jeremy Fowler.
| Footballguys view: Joe Burrow is an incredible quarterback, but the Bengals need to be ready for him to miss time (again). That means a guy like Flacco could be an easy call as someone to keep around. Flacco can still play good football as a reserve option for teams in a playoff hunt (like the Bengals). We'll see what he decides to do when free agency opens up on March 11th. |

Bengals | Ja'Marr Chase more effective at home Sat Feb 7, 02:18 PM
Cincinnati Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase caught seven of his eight touchdowns at home during the 2025 regular season and also posted 926 of his 1,412 receiving yards during home games.
| Footballguys view: Chase is a superstar, and he can thrive in any stadium. He was able to make plays with either Joe Flacco or Joe Burrow at quarterback. Chase can do more if Burrow stays healthy for a full year. He's easily a consideration for the no1 wide receiver entering the 2026 season. |

Commanders | Marcus Mariota still hoping to start Sat Feb 7, 02:18 PM
Washington Commanders impending free-agent QB Marcus Mariota said he enjoys Washington but is open to signing with another team if it means competing for the starting job. 'If something presents itself, great,' Mariota said. 'I will take time to iron it out, but I do love it here.'
| Footballguys view: Mariota is unlikely to get a chance to compete for a starting job in 2026. However, he's clearly a trusted veteran backup quarterback that any team in a Super Bowl window may consider as an option. He may be looking to start, but Mariota may just end up choosing the best landing spot where he could get a championship. |

Packers | Christian Watson wants to stay in Green Bay Sat Feb 7, 02:18 PM
Green Bay Packers WR Christian Watson said he wants to sign a long-term deal to remain with the team.
| Footballguys view: Watson signed a one-year extension in September 2025, so he's under contract through the 2026 season. Coming off a 2024 knee injury, Watson didn't get on the field for the Packers until late October. He finished the 2025 season with 35 catches for 611 yards with six touchdowns. Fantasy GMs can look at him as a WR3/flex option, and we'll see if the Packers want to work out a long-term deal with him for 2027 and beyond. |
Ravens | Derrick Henry extends own record Sat Feb 7, 02:18 PM
Baltimore Ravens RB Derrick Henry recorded his fourth season with at least 1,500 rushing yards, 15 rushing touchdowns and 5.0 yards per carry in 2025, and Jim Brown is the only other play with two such seasons.
| Footballguys view: Henry is still playing his best football, and that's likely to continue going forward. He can be the centerpiece of the Ravens new-look offense. Jesse Minter is the new head coach, and he's tasked Declan Doyle with running the Ravens on the offensive side of the ball. Doyle worked under both Sean Payton and Ben Johnson, so it will be interesting to see the type of offense he'll craft with guys like Henry and Lamar Jackson. |

Colts | Alec Pierce in rare company Sat Feb 7, 02:18 PM
Indianapolis Colts WR Alec Pierce became the first player to average 20-plus yards per reception (minimum 35 catches) in back-to-back seasons since Flipper Anderson in 1989-90.
| Footballguys view: That's an amazing feat considering guys like DeSean Jackson (and many others) were dangerous deep threats for years. Pierce is set to hit free agency if the Colts don't franchise tag him. The deadline to tag players is February 17th, and free agency then begins March 11th. We'll know more about Pierce's future in the coming weeks. If on the open market, Pierce could be one of the top receivers available. |
Titans | Chimere Dike sets rookie record Sat Feb 7, 02:18 PM
Tennessee Titans WR Chimere Dike's 2,427 all-purpose yards in 2025 were the most by a rookie in NFL history, surpassing the mark set by Tim Brown in 1988.
| Footballguys view: Dike is a force on special teams as a punt and kick returner. He's got more room to develop as a receiver as well. With HC Robert Saleh and OC Brian Daboll, we imagine Dike will continue to rack up all-purpose yards in 2026. He's got plenty of flex appeal for Fantasy GMs next season. |
Falcons | Bijan Robinson piling up yards Sat Feb 7, 02:18 PM
Atlanta Falcons RB Bijan Robinson's 5,648 yards from scrimmage are the most by a player age-23 or younger in NFL history.
| Footballguys view: Robinson is clearly one of the best in the league at what he does. The Falcons changed their offense this offseason, and Kevin Stefanski takes over as head coach with Tommy Rees tagged as the offensive coordinator. Even with a new coaching staff, the Falcons should use Robinson early and often - making him a no-brainer top running back pick in fantasy drafts this summer. |
Bijan Robinson player page
Bills | James Cook set record in 2025 Sat Feb 7, 02:18 PM
Buffalo Bills RB James Cook's 216 rushing yards against the Carolina Panthers in Week 8 were the most on record by a player who did not record a rushing attempt in the fourth quarter.
| Footballguys view: Prepare for Cook to set more records this season. The NFL's leading rusher shows no signs of slowing down. The Bills promoted OC Joe Brady to their head coaching position, and he'll continue to feature Cook as much as possible in 2026. |
Bills | Josh Allen a touchdown machine Sat Feb 7, 02:18 PM
Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen's 301 total touchdowns through his first eight seasons are the most in NFL history, and he has more touchdowns than six teams during that span.
| Footballguys view: Allen has all the success in the world during the regular season, but he's had multiple failures in the playoffs - not even yet earning a trip to the Super Bowl. That's one of the reasons why the Bills moved on from Sean McDermott. We'll see Joe Brady as head coach, and he'll have Allen scoring in bunches during the regular season. The real test will be whether or not Allen and the Bills will have more postseason success under their new head coach. |

Philadelphia Eagles WR A.J. Brown had five games in 2025 when he failed to catch a pass in the second half.

He seemed disgruntled most of the year, and now there are rumblings and rumors about teams trying to make a trade for him. Brown said in a recent interview on Media Row at the Super Bowl that he's excited for the upcoming season with the Eagles. It's too early to tell exactly what's going to happen (maybe nothing, maybe something) with Brown this offseason. |

NFL | Speed will be key for Omar Cooper Jr. Sat Feb 7, 02:18 PM
Indiana WR Omar Cooper Jr. will have to answer questions about his 'true top-end speed and his route tree' ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft, according to Jordan Reid of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: Cooper can work short-to-intermediate routes with ease, but he doesn't have the speed to threaten a defense vertically consistently. His game is all about yards after the catch as evidenced by his 39.1 percent missed-tackle-rate which led all receivers entering the 2026 NFL Draft. His timed speed will help determine his draft status which currently sits as a Day 2 projection. |
49ers | SF looking to keep Mac Jones Sat Feb 7, 12:52 PM
San Francisco 49ers QB Mac Jones is a player that the 49ers would prefer not to trade this offseason, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: There are many rumblings about Jones being a player of interest for a team like the Vikings this offseason. The 49ers have Brock Purdy as their franchise quarterback, but Jones looked good when starting for an injured Purdy this last year. They're going to say they have no intention of trading him to inflate his already somewhat high price of acquisition. Stay tuned. |

Vikings | J.J. McCarthy will have competition Sat Feb 7, 12:15 PM
Minnesota Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy will have competition next season since the team is expected to add a veteran quarterback to the roster this offseason.
| Footballguys view: With Sam Darnold playing in the Super Bowl, it's clear the Vikings regret not trying to keep him around for 2025 - regardless of selecting McCarthy in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft. McCarthy missed his entire rookie season, and he looked bad when he played in 2025. The Vikings may push for guys like Aaron Rodgers, Kirk Cousins (if/when released by the Falcons), or Mac Jones (via trade) this offseason. |
Chiefs | Travis Kelce decide to play again Sat Feb 7, 11:59 AM
Kansas City Chiefs TE Travis Kelce has not made an official decision on his playing future, but people close to him believe he could play again in 2026, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: Kelce is set to be an unrestricted free agent in 2026, so if he wants to keep playing, he'll have to sign a new deal with the Chiefs. It's too early to tell, but it seems like Kelce is going to suit up one more year (at least). The Chiefs had a down year, missing the playoffs in 2025, so Kelce may want to come back for this season and make another push for the Super Bowl. |
