Chiefs | Tyquan Thornton hopes to return Mon Feb 9, 04:09 PM
Kansas City Chiefs impending free-agent WR Tyquan Thornton said he would be interested in re-signing with the Chiefs this offseason. He will be looking to sign with a team this offseason where he can contribute on offense.
| Footballguys view: Thornton finished the 2025 season with 19 catches for 438 yards and three touchdowns. He was acquired at the end of the 2024 season as a developmental player. Thornton ended up being more than that with the absence of Rashee Rice for the first six games due to suspension, and with Xavier Worthy slowed by injury. The speedy former second-round pick found ways to stand out on deep pass plays, making him a constant home-run threat and disrupting the defense. A return at a reasonable price isn't a reach. |
Ravens | DeAndre Hopkins wants to keep playing Mon Feb 9, 03:29 PM
Baltimore Ravens WR DeAndre Hopkins said he wants to play at least one more season.
| Footballguys view: The one-year, $5 million contract Hopkins signed last March expires when the new league year begins in 2026. With Jesse Minter as the new head coach, Hopkins' future with the club is uncertain at best. Hopkins was the Ravens' third option behind Zay Flowers and Mark Andrews. Hopkins' 37 targets were similar to Rashod Bateman (38) and Isaiah Likely (35) as he logged 22 catches for 330 yards and two touchdowns, career lows in nearly every significant receiving category. It's hard to justify a similar salary this year. |

Patriots | Stefon Diggs expects to be back Mon Feb 9, 02:23 PM
New England Patriots WR Stefon Diggs said he expects to return to the team next season, but the team will have control of his future with the organization.
| Footballguys view: Outside of Sunday's Super Bowl loss, this past season was a success for the 32-year-old as he became the Patriots' first 1,000-yard receiver since 2019. Diggs' performance was impressive considering he was coming off a season-ending knee injury. Whether or not the Patriots want him back, however, remains to be seen. Diggs is signed for two more years, but his base salary of $20.6 million isn't fully guaranteed; the Patriots could move on without major financial repercussions. Still, Diggs was their best offensive weapon, leading the team in receptions (85) and receiving yards (1,013). It's a situation to watch. |

Bengals | Tee Higgins able to find end zone often Mon Feb 9, 12:18 AM
Cincinnati Bengals WR Tee Higgins caught at least one touchdown in seven of his last nine games this season.
| Footballguys view: Higgins finished the year hauling in 59 receptions for 846 yards and 11 touchdowns. Despite missing two games because of two separate stints in the concussion protocol, he still set a career high in touchdowns and finished as WR17 in total fantasy points. It's not unreasonable to expect a healthier Higgins, working with a healthier Joe Burrow, to push closer to joining teammate Ja'Marr Smith in WR1 territory in 2026. |

Jaguars | Coach confident in Travis Hunter's return Mon Feb 9, 12:17 AM
Jacksonville Jaguars WR/CB Travis Hunter (knee) will make a full recovery from his knee injury and should be a standout player for the team next season, according to head coach Liam Coen.
| Footballguys view: Questions about his role will persist, however. Hunter, who played 67 percent of the team's offensive snaps and 36 percent of the defensive snaps before his season-ending knee injury Oct. 30, is expected to see playing time at cornerback this season. "At this point, walking into the offseason, corner is a position that we have a few guys who are on expiring contracts," general manager James Gladstone recently said. "By default, you can expect there to be a higher emphasis on his placement [at corner]." We'll watch for more in coming weeks. |
Buccaneers | Mike Evans expected to continue playing Mon Feb 9, 12:16 AM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers impending free-agent WR Mike Evans felt better after this season than he did in the last few seasons and seems to be on track to continue playing, according to agent Deryk Gilmore.
| Footballguys view: Evans missed seven games with a broken collarbone, but returned and caught six passes for a season-high 132 yards, including a 45-yard reception, in a late-season loss to Atlanta. He showed speed, quickness, and agility, and brought energy to the offense. But Evans caught only 30 passes and saw his NFL record-tying streak of 11 straight 1,000-yard receiving seasons come to an end. Evans will be an unrestricted free agent next month. If he does decide to play, will it be in Tampa Bay? Two years ago, Evans received interest from the Chiefs and Texans. He could draw interest again. |

Dolphins | Tyreek Hill uncertain for 2026 Mon Feb 9, 12:15 AM
Miami Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill's (knee) availability for the 2026 season is uncertain at this point, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.
| Footballguys view: "It is unclear at this point when or even if Tyreek will be ready to play in 2026," Pelissero said. "The health, plus his age of 32, the money would all point toward Tyreek, at least for now, being out in Miami." Hill played in just four games in 2025 and caught 21 balls for 265 yards and a touchdown. His knee issue may accelerate the veteran wideout's regression as he gets into his 30s, as Hill failed to reach the 1,000-yard mark even in a full 2024 season. We'll be watching for more. |

Seahawks | Seattle rides defense to Super Bowl win Mon Feb 9, 12:05 AM
Seattle Seahawks QB Sam Darnold completed 19 of his 38 passes for 202 yards and a touchdown and added five rushing yards in a 29-13 win over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LX. RB Kenneth Walker III gained 135 yards on 27 carries and caught two passes for 26 yards, and RB George Holani chipped in six rushing yards on two carries and caught a seven-yard pass. WR Cooper Kupp finished with a team-high six receptions on 12 targets for 61 receiving yards, and WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba hauled in four of his 10 targets for 27 yards. TE AJ Barner caught four passes for 54 yards and a touchdown, and WR Rashid Shaheed gained 27 yards on a pair of receptions. LB Ernest Jones led the defense with 11 tackles, including 10 solo stops, and LB Uchenna Nwosu returned an interception for a touchdown. S Julian Love also had an interception, and DT Byron Murphy II and DE Derick Hall both had two of Seattle's six sacks, and Murphy also recovered a fumble.
| Footballguys view: As ESPN's Dan Graziano wrote, "Led by defense and special teams, armed with a quarterback nobody believed in and run by a 38-year-old, second-year coach whose personality remains opaque to almost everyone outside of his building, the Seattle Seahawks kept their heads down and kept winning." And that coach, Mike Macdonald, is now the third-youngest head coach ever to win the Super Bowl -- and he did it in just his second season with the Seahawks. With Darnold heading into his second season in Seattle and MacDonald at the helm, the Seahawks' future is bright. |

Patriots | New England's offense stifled in Super Bowl loss Mon Feb 9, 12:01 AM
New England Patriots QB Drake Maye completed 27 of his 43 passes for 295 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions in a 29-13 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl LX. Maye was also sacked six times and lost a fumble while gaining 35 rushing yards on five carries. RB Rhamondre Stevenson managed 23 rushing yards on seven carries and caught five passes for 40 yards and a touchdown. RB TreVeyon Henderson was held to 19 yards on six carries and caught three passes for 26 yards. WR Mack Hollins was a bright spot for the offense, catching four passes for a team-high 78 yards and a touchdown. WR DeMario Douglas added five catches for 45 yards, and WR Stefon Diggs finished with three catches for 37 yards. TE Hunter Henry caught three passes for 31 yards, and WR Kayshon Boutte caught one pass for 31 yards. S Craig Woodson finished with a team-high 10 tackles, including seven solo stops, and CB Marcus Jones joined him with seven solo stops. DT Milton Williams recorded three tackles, including two tackles for loss, and a sack.
| Footballguys view: While the defense kept the Patriots within reach most of the game, Maye struggled under pressure, and the offense sputtered when it mattered most. New England punted on all five of its non-kneel first-half possessions, generating just four total first downs. With the game still within reach, the offense fell flat, going three-and-out on its first three possessions of the third quarter -- its one first down on four drives in the quarter came via penalty. Maye made a few plays in the final frame, but it was too little, too late from the MVP runner-up. |

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. |
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. |

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. |
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. |
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 | 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. |
Ja'Marr Chase player page
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. |
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. |
Eagles | A.J. Brown went missing in second halves Sat Feb 7, 02:18 PM
Philadelphia Eagles WR A.J. Brown had five games in 2025 when he failed to catch a pass in the second half.
| Footballguys view: Brown's year with the Eagles was...interesting to say the least. 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. |
Cowboys | Jerry Jones wants George Pickens back Fri Feb 6, 08:07 PM
Dallas Cowboys WR George Pickens and owner Jerry Jones have been discussing a contract extension, according to Jones, and Jones said he is 'looking forward to getting things worked out' with Pickens.
| Footballguys view: Of course Jones is going to say that....and then he's likely to play hardball with the star receiver. The Cowboys just do that with big-money deals (see Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, etc). We believe they'll use the franchise tag on Pickens. That gives the two sides until mid-July to work out a long-term deal. |
Colts | Alec Pierce productive in second half of year Fri Feb 6, 07:14 PM
Indianapolis Colts WR Alec Pierce caught all six of his touchdowns during the second half of the 2025 regular season. He also recorded 617 of his 1,003 receiving yards during that span.
| Footballguys view: Pierce is one of the best wide receivers who could be available in free agency this offseason. We'll see if the Colts decide to franchise tag him, and the deadline to do that is on Feb. 17. Pierce takes the top off the defense, and that's why he's averaged over 20 yards per catch each of the last two seasons. |

| Footballguys view: JSN could be the Super Bowl MVP. It's rare for wide receivers to win the award, but he's going to make big plays for Seattle in the biggest game. We're excited to see what he's got in store in the Super Bowl against the Patriots. Smith-Njigba is the best player on the field for either team. |

Bills | Khalil Shakir led team with 719 receiving yards Wed Feb 4, 09:57 AM
Buffalo Bills WR Khalil Shakir led the team with 719 receiving yards, with the next-closest receiving being WR Keon Coleman with 404 yards. The team is likely to address the receiver position in either the draft, free agency, or both.
| Footballguys view: The Bills thought Coleman could be a no.1 receiver, but his second pro season totals (404 yards) fell short of his rookie year (556 yards). In order to be active in free agency, the Bills must first get under the salary cap. OverTheCap.com currently has them $7.4 MM over the cap. |

Cardinals | Michael Wilson breaks out in second half Tue Feb 3, 12:26 AM
Arizona Cardinals WR Michael Wilson recorded 809 of his 1,006 receiving yards during the second half of the 2025 regular season. He also caught six of his seven touchdowns during that span.
| Footballguys view: Wilson joined tight end Trey McBride in the Cardinals' 1,000-yard receiving club. Given how he started the season, with just eight catches for 52 yards and a touchdown over the first five games, Wilson's finish was remarkable. With Jacoby Brissett taking over for Kyler Murray, plus Wilson getting WR1 opportunities with Marvin Harrison Jr. injured, the third-year pro was able to take off behind 65 catches for 855 yards (and the six scores) over the next 11 games. Offseason developments in Arizona will determine our view of Wilson in 2026, but a new, offensive-minded head coach in Mike LaFleur is a great start. |

Cowboys | George Pickens hopes to return Tue Feb 3, 12:24 AM
Dallas Cowboys impending free-agent WR George Pickens said he would like to return to the Cowboys next season but believes his value has gone up after his 2025 season.
| Footballguys view: The Cowboys want to keep Pickens, and the team has the franchise tag available to use on the pending free agent, but the question is whether the sides can negotiate a long-term deal. The Cowboys traded with the Steelers for Pickens in the 2025 offseason. Dak Prescott is the best quarterback Pickens has played with, and it showed. His previous best season was 63 receptions for 1,140 yards and five touchdowns in 2023. We'll be following this situation closely as free agency draws nearer. |
49ers | Jauan Jennings productive on third down Mon Feb 2, 03:30 PM
San Francisco 49ers WR Jauan Jennings caught five of his nine touchdowns on third down during the 2025 regular season.
| Footballguys view: Jennings is a free-agent-to-be, and his future with the Niners is unclear. Still, with 1,618 yards and 15 touchdowns on 122 receptions over the last two years, Jennings has been an essential piece of the team's offense. Will that translate into a big payday in San Francisco? A move to another team? We'll be watching that closely as the free-agent signing period draws near. |

Rams | Davante Adams expected back in 2026 Mon Feb 2, 02:42 PM
Los Angeles Rams WR Davante Adams is expected to return to the team next season, according to head coach Sean McVay.
| Footballguys view: Adams, 33, was a key contributor for the Rams in 2025, catching 60 passes for 789 yards with a league-leading 14 touchdowns. He missed some time with a hamstring injury, but caught 11 passes for 185 yards with a touchdown in three postseason games. Adams was also a boon for fantasy investors. Despite being limited to 14 regular-season games, the veteran finished as WR9 in total points. He was also WR9 on a points-per-game basis. Assuming all the pieces remain in place, fantasy managers find the Rams' offense a target-rich environment this summer. |
