Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua was present for the first day of the team's offseason program on Monday, according to Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times. Nacua led the NFL in catches (129) and receiving yards per game (107.2) in 16 regular-season contests while also posting a career-high 1,715 yards and career-high 10 touchdowns in just his third year in the NFL. The 24-year-old has been in the headlines this offseason for the wrong reasons, though, and he recently checked into a rehab facility last month. A civil lawsuit was also filed against Nacua in March, which stems from an incident on New Year's Eve in 2025. Nacua isn't expected to be in any danger of receiving a suspension from the league, so he'll be in play as the first receiver off the board in fantasy drafts this fall. He even beat out Seattle's Jaxon Smith-Njigba for the title of WR1 overall in fantasy points in 2026.

Former New York Giants star wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. worked out for his old team, the Giants, on Monday, according to Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network. Rapoport writes that a "reunion seems possible." A lot has changed in New York since OBJ last played with the G-Men in 2018, but the three-time Pro Bowler does have experience playing for new Giants head coach John Harbaugh, who coached OBJ in 2023 with the Baltimore Ravens. New York took Beckham with the 12th overall pick in 2014 out of LSU, and he had four 1,000-yard seasons with the team in his five years with the organization. Since OBJ's last 1,000-yard campaign in 2019 with the Browns, he's fallen off a cliff in terms of production, and he'll likely be a long shot for any kind of stable fantasy relevance in 2026 if he returns to the Big Apple. He had just nine catches for 55 yards and no touchdowns in nine games for the Dolphins in 2024 and a 35-565-3 line in 14 games (six starts) with Harbaugh in Baltimore in 2023.

The Dallas Cowboys made kicker Brandon Aubrey the league's highest-paid kicker on Monday by giving him a four-year, $28 million deal, sources told Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. The deal includes $20 million guaranteed and was negotiated by agents Todd France and AJ Stevens of Athletes First. Aubrey becomes the first kicker in NFL history to average $7 million annually. He finished the 2025 campaign as the No. 3 fantasy kicker by making 36 of his 42 field-goal attempts (85.7%) and 47 of his 48 extra-point tries in 17 games played. The 31-year-old veteran has been a Pro Bowler for Dallas in each of his first three years in the league, and he now has an 88.2% success rate on field goals in 51 regular-season games. In a Dallas offense that should be among the highest-scoring in the league again in 2026, Aubrey qualifies as a high-end fantasy kicker target yet again. The fact that the Cowboys play half their games in a dome makes Aubrey even more attractive at the position.

Dynasty | Free agent quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo is considering retirement. Dynasty Analysis: Garoppolo was widely expected to re-sign with the Rams to back up Matthew Stafford but it seems the 34-year old is considering making it the end of the road. It He could simply wait it out and see if another team has a significant injury that gives him a path to clear playing time as well. Regardless, his value in a 2QB dynasty league is starting to get pretty thin. Stay tuned.

Texas A&M wide receiver K.C. Concepcion is considered to be one of the better prospects at his position in the 2026 draft class and has a chance to hear his name called as early as the end of the first round later this week. Across 13 games for the Aggies in 2025, the 21-year-old recorded 61 receptions for 919 yards and nine touchdowns. Concepcion is known as an elusive route-runner in the short and intermediate areas of the field who is difficult to tackle in open space. However, he's undersized at 5'11" and 196 lbs., which leads to some questions about his ability to produce at the catch point in the NFL. Still, Concepcion's strengths make him an intriguing dynasty prospect. Depending on where he ends up being drafted, Concepcion could make an immediate impact in the NFL and offers some long-term upside as well. RotoBaller currently ranks Concepcion as the fifth-best wide receiver in the first-year player pool.

Vanderbilt tight end Eli Stowers is considered one of the top tight ends in the 2026 draft class and should come off the board at some point on day two of the upcoming 2026 draft. Across 12 games for the Commodores in 2025, the 23-year-old recorded 62 receptions for 769 yards and four touchdowns. With a 45.5" vertical jump, Stowers also profiles as an elite athlete at the tight end position. His blocking ability is considered a major weak point in his game, which could be a reason why he might slip down the draft board. Stowers might also struggle to earn a true lead tight end role in the NFL right away without rapid improvement as a blocker. Still, he offers clear upside due to his athleticism and has already shown the ability to produce as a receiver. Stowers currently profiles as the second-best dynasty tight end in first-year player pools, behind only Kenyon Sadiq.

Arizona State wide receiver Jordyn Tyson (hamstring) has been a riser late in NFL Draft season, with some experts now projecting that he will come off the board somewhere in the middle of the first round later this week. The 21-year-old recorded 61 catches for 711 yards and eight touchdowns across nine games for the Sun Devils in 2025. Tyson missed time with a hamstring injury, and hamstring issues have bothered him throughout the pre-draft process as well. Tyson also suffered three torn ligaments in his knee in 2022, which caused him to miss the majority of his sophomore season at Arizona State. Still, despite the injury concerns, Tyson is thought of as one of the top wide receivers in the 2026 draft class. He showed off what he can do in a fully healthy campaign in 2024, when he recorded 75 receptions for 1,101 yards and 10 touchdowns across 12 games. In dynasty formats, Tyson profiles as the third-best wide receiver in first-year player pools behind only Makai Lemon and Carnell Tate.

Indianapolis Colts general manager Chris Ballard said that wide receiver Alec Pierce (ankle) underwent ankle surgery, per ESPN's Stephen Holder. Pierce reportedly played through pain in the ankle last season. The surgery will keep him from participating in OTAs, but Pierce should be ready to go for training camp. The 25-year-old had the best year of his career in 2025, recording 47 receptions for 1,003 yards and six touchdowns on 84 targets across 15 games. The Colts rewarded Pierce earlier this offseason with a four-year, $114 million extension. The team also traded away veteran wideout Michael Pittman Jr., which could mean Pierce will be expected to expand his route tree beyond his usual downfield role. While it sounds as though Pierce should have a normal training camp, this ankle ailment will be something for fantasy managers to monitor heading into 2026.

University of Oregon tight end Kenyon Sadiq is widely expected to be selected in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft later this week. Across 14 games with the Ducks in 2025, Sadiq hauled in 51 receptions for 560 yards and eight touchdowns. While Sadiq's numbers don't necessarily leap off the page, the 21-year-old showcased his elite athleticism at the 2026 scouting combine by running the 40-yard dash in 4.39 seconds and recording a 43.5" vertical jump. Dynasty managers may want to temper expectations for Sadiq in his first NFL season. However, Sadiq's long-term upside is tremendous, which allows him to profile as the clear top tight end in this season's first-year player pool.

New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte is a "name that has come up in trade talks," per Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports. Boutte was a productive downfield threat for the Patriots in 2025, recording 33 receptions for 551 yards and six touchdowns on 46 targets across 14 games. However, New England signed former Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs in free agency, and Schultz characterizes a potential trade for current Philadelphia Eagles wideout A.J. Brown as "eventual." As a result, Boutte could be the off man out in New England as he heads into the final year of his rookie contract. Particularly if the Patriots do end up acquiring Brown, a change of scenery would likely be the best-case scenario for Boutte's fantasy value.

It remains an open secret that Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver AJ Brown is likely to be dealt after June 1st, a date that needs to be cleared to provide Philadelphia with additional cap relief. According to NFL Insider Adam Schefter, the New England Patriots are still highly interested in acquiring the three-time Pro Bowler. Per Schefter, the teams are expected to resume conversations on or before June 1st, and league-wide belief is that a deal will get done. Brown turns 29 in June and is coming off the worst statistical season since his final, injury-shortened campaign with Tennessee, but even if on the decline, he would still provide a true dominator on the outside for New England and 2025 MVP candidate Drake Maye. How the two teams approach the receiver position in this week's NFL Draft could be a telling indicator of where talks currently stand.

Ohio State prospect Carnell Tate is expected to be the first wide receiver selected in this week's NFL Draft, and that will likely be the case in many rookie drafts as well. He is a long boundary receiver who moves smoothly and tracks the ball as well as any player in this class, but he has never been the Alpha in his own offense, and his NFL ceiling could top out as a high-end WR2. His physical profile has no glaring weaknesses, but his career target share at Ohio State is historically low for a player of his expected draft capital. Jordyn Tyson may have more pure upside, but his health and durability are legitimate concerns, while Makai Lemon could be the most consistent target-earner, but he projects to see most of his usage out of the slot. The NFL will soon tell us how they feel about these three prospects, and for dynasty rookie drafters picking in the wake of Jeremiyah Love's obvious 1.01 selection, the decision could come down to landing spot, personal preference, and risk tolerance.

Washington wide receiver Denzel Boston has lost some of his shine throughout the pre-draft process, but he is still a rangy outside receiver with great size and some of the best hands in the class. In the right landing spot, he is capable of making an immediate fantasy contribution as a ball-winner at all levels of the field and a big-bodied red zone weapon. Dynasty managers picking outside the top five in superflex rookie drafts will likely miss out on a chance to select Jeremiyah Love, Fernando Mendoza, or any of the big three wide receivers, but Boston very much belongs in the next tier of prospects with KC Concepcion, Omar Cooper Jr., and Kenyon Sadiq. While the exact order among that group could be shaped by how the late-first and early-second rounds of the NFL Draft play out, Boston is currently RotoBaller's rookie WR4 and the overall WR34 in dynasty rankings.

Free-agent QB Aaron Rodgers (Steelers) isn't likely to decide if he's returning to the Pittsburgh Steelers before the NFL Draft.

Fantasy Spin: Rodgers was the QB19 in 16 games last season in fantasy. If he returns, he'd merely be a matchup play or an option in two-QB leagues.

Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love is expected to be one of the first names off the board in this week's NFL Draft, and some around league circles believe that could be as early as third overall to the Arizona Cardinals. According to NFL Insider Adam Schefter, the Cardinals have made exploratory calls to move back and acquire additional picks, but if they are unable to find a trade partner, there is a growing belief that the selection could be Love. Even in what would then be a crowded backfield, Love would still be worthy of the first overall pick in dynasty rookie drafts of all formats, including superflex leagues. He split the Notre Dame backfield with Jadarian Price, a player many are calling the second-best running back in the class. In their three seasons together, Love nearly doubled Price's career yardage total, an indicator of how far ahead of the class he truly is. His 40 touchdowns across his past two seasons as a starter paced the FBS, and he has the speed and physicality to win in multiple ways. He catches the ball cleanly and gets upfield with no wasted motion. Love should make an immediate fantasy impact regardless of landing spot, and he is currently RotoBaller's overall RB4 in dynasty rankings.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are still awaiting word from quarterback Aaron Rodgers on his future, but per NFL Insider Ian Rapoport, no decision is expected before the NFL Draft. The two sides went through a similar courting process last offseason before the then-41-year-old future Hall of Famer started 16 games for the Steelers, throwing for 3,322 yards, 24 touchdowns, and seven interceptions while leading the team to a division title. Pittsburgh's voluntary minicamp opens on Monday, and 2025 6th-round pick Will Howard is expected to lead the first team offense. With this week's NFL Draft taking place in their own backyard, the Steelers hold the 21st and 53rd selections in a year where the quarterback position is thought to fall off precipitously after presumed first overall pick Fernando Mendoza.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson Sr. remains off the fantasy radar in all leagues, including dynasty formats. Richardson was benched for Daniel Jones at the start of last season and ultimately found himself on injured reserve for a large portion of the year due to an eye injury. As he remains behind Jones (and possibly Riley Leonard) on the depth chart, Richardson has requested a trade, with no such luck. The market for the former first-round pick is reportedly quite poor, and it doesn't sound like any teams are serious about trading for him. The same can be said about dynasty managers, who have no interest in pursuing Richardson, even if he doesn't cost much. Sure, he has rushing upside, but his tendency to turn the football over is such a liability. Across 11 games in 2023, Richardson amassed 1,814 passing yards, eight passing touchdowns, and 12 interceptions. He did boost his fantasy stock slightly with 499 rushing yards and six rushing touchdowns, but not enough to change his fantasy outlook. His days in Indy are likely numbered, and he can be dropped in most dynasty formats.

The Pittsburgh Steelers could be targeting Miami quarterback Carson Beck in this week's NFL Draft, according to Mike DeFabo of The Athletic. Beck took a pre-draft visit with the Steelers. The same can be said for Penn State's Drew Allar, but not Alabama's Ty Simpson. DeFabo notes that while Simpson has been heavily linked to the Steelers by the media, the team may be dissuaded by his limited track record in college. That's where Beck makes more sense, as he was a three-year starter in the NCAA and has significant experience playing in big games. DeFabo speculates that Beck checks every box for the Steelers, while the other two do not. Pittsburgh doesn't want to reach for Beck, but it sounds like he'll absolutely be an option for them if he's still available in the middle rounds. The Steelers' draft plans likely don't hinge too much on the status of quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who is a candidate to re-sign but currently remains a free agent.

Chicago Bears DTs Gervon Dexter Sr. and Grady Jarrett are really the only veteran defensive tackles on the current roster, so the team figures to look to the 2026 NFL Draft for help in that area. The team didn't address the position in a significant way in the offseason, so many expect the team to pick a player for the middle of the defensive line early in the draft. Multiple players such as University of Florida DT Caleb Banks, Ohio State DT Kayden McDonald, University of Georgia DT Christen Miller and Clemson DT Peter Woods could fit the bill.

Georgia wide receiver Zachariah Branch was arrested on Sunday on two misdemeanor obstruction charges, according to Marc Weiszer of the Athens Banner-Herald. Branch was charged with obstructing public sidewalks/streets-prowling and obstruction of a law enforcement officer. It's unclear if it will affect his stock as a potential Day 2 draft pick in this year's 2026 NFL draft, which kicks off on Thursday night. Branch began his collegiate career with two seasons at USC before playing with the Bulldogs in his final collegiate season in 2025. He had his best season last year, catching an SEC-high 81 passes for 811 yards and six touchdowns in 14 games played at Georgia. Branch ran an impressive 4.35-second 40-yard dash at the NFL scouting combine in February, but his recent off-the-field issue could cause NFL teams to sour on him ahead of next week's draft.
