Los Angeles Rams tight end Colby Parkinson ended up leading his position group in fantasy points last year, but his position atop the depth chart may be in jeopardy ahead of the 2026 season. The Rams have 2025 second-round pick Terrance Ferguson set to make a Year 2 leap, and they also spent a second-round pick on Ohio State tight end Max Klare this past Friday. All the while, veteran Tyler Higbee was brought back on a new contract. This is a very crowded tight end room, and common sense would indicate that the Rams want to get Ferguson and Klare more involved, since they're the presumptive tight ends of the future in Los Angeles. We wouldn't be surprised if Parkinson's 2026 looks similar to the first half of 2025 -- handling a decent snap share but not being heavily involved in the passing game. He was the TE67 from Week 1-9 last season, then jumped to TE4 from Week 10-18. As it stands, he ranks as the overall TE52 in RotoBaller's latest dynasty fantasy football rankings. For comparison, Ferguson is the TE25 and Klare is the TE27.

Los Angeles Chargers running back Omarion Hampton remains the clear-cut No. 1 option on the depth chart heading into May. The Chargers didn't select a running back in the 2026 NFL Draft, leaving Hampton in the lead-back role and Keaton Mitchell as his projected backup. Mitchell has flashed burst and productivity in the past, and he averages 6.34 yards per carry so far in his career. While his speed fits nicely in offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel's system, he offers an occasional burst or big play, rather than every-down consistency. The every-down role should remain with Hampton, who averaged 60.6 rushing yards, 3.6 catches, 21.3 receiving yards, and 0.6 touchdowns per game while dodging injuries as a rookie last year. He remains the overall RB8 in RotoBaller's latest dynasty fantasy football rankings.

The Washington Commanders are expected to have interest in wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk if he is released by the San Francisco 49ers, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. There seems to be a bit of a stalemate at this point in the offseason. The Niners have said they are in no rush and would like to trade Aiyuk. However, they've also said that Aiyuk will not play for them in 2026, so at some point, if a trade doesn't come to fruition, he'll have to be released. As a result, the Commanders are in no rush because they expect him to become a free agent before the regular season. Therefore, while Aiyuk to the Commanders is not imminent, it does seem like Washington is the early favorite to acquire him. He'd offer an enormous boost to their wide receiver room, which is relatively thin behind Terry McLaurin. Aiyuk hasn't played an NFL snap since 2024, when he tore his ACL seven games into a 25-catch, 374-yard campaign.

Dynasty | The Kansas City Chiefs selected running back Emmett Johnson in the fifth round of the NFL Draft. Dynasty Analysis: Johnson dropped all the way down into the middle of round five before being rescued by the Chiefs. This could be a good thing in the end as Kenneth Walker hasn't always stayed healthy. However, a Walker injury looks like the only thing that could possibly happen for Johnson to have any kind of short-term value at this point. He's a late round dart throw in rookie drafts after this development.

Dynasty | The Titans drafted running back Nicholas Singleton in the fifth round of the NFL Draft. Dynasty Analysis: This landing spot is an interesting one as Tennessee was rumored to have interest in Jeremiyah Love before he was taken third overall. While Singleton isn't nearly the player Love is, the Titans are at least considering we're nearing the end of the Tony Pollard era. Singleton is going to be a sneaky rookie pick and while he has a low floor as a late round draft pick, you can see a path to relevance here.

Dynasty | The Washington Commanders selected running back Kaytron Allen in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Dynasty Analysis: Allen was drafted by the Commanders in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft. A true bruiser, he landed in a great spot as the Commanders have a host of running backs like Jacory Croskey-Merritt, Rachaad White, and Jerome Ford but none of them are true road graders like Allen. He should have a chance to make the team and possibly carve out an early role as a rookie.

Dynasty | The Kansas City Chiefs drafted quarterback Garrett Nussmeier in the final round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Dynasty Analysis: It was quite a fall for Nussmeier, who looked like a sure-fire first round pick at this time last season. Unfortunately, inconsistency took him down this year and it seems NFL teams just didn't buy the notion it was because of an injury. He'll have a chance to learn behind Patrick Mahomes but nothing is safe for him, including his roster spot. He's going to be little more than a dart throw at this point in rookie drafts.

Dynasty | The Bills selected wide receiver Skyler Bell in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Dynasty Analysis: Bell burst on to the scene last year at UCONN and was one of the older prospects after spending five years in college. There are questions about the level of competition he's faced and the success he didn't have at his other stops but Buffalo doesn't have a loaded depth chart of pass catchers, so Bell looks like an intriguing mid-round pick.

Dynasty | The Vikings selected running back Demond Claiborne in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Dynasty Analysis: Claiborne fell all the way down to the sixth round before the Vikings finally took him. It's an interesting pick given the fact the Vikings really only have Aaron Jones and Jordan Mason at the moment. However, the draft capital used on Claiborne doesn't really guarantee him much, including a roster spot. He'll likely battle the likes of Zavier Scott and a few others for a roster spot but still looks like a mid-to-late rookie pick based on a decent landing spot.

Dynasty | The Dallas Cowboys have signed undrafted tight end Michael Trigg. Dynasty Analysis: Trigg was left undrafted but was immediately signed by Dallas following the NFL Draft. It was a highly disappointing development for Trigg, who saw a whopping 22 tight ends taken over the weekend without hearing his name being called. As an UDFA, he'll have a real battle on his hands to make this team. It was a surprising development and one that's going to move Trigg into no man's land in terms of rookie drafts.

Dynasty | The Bears drafted tight end Sam Roush with the 69th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Dynasty Analysis: The good news is Roush was taken higher than most expected, drafted by the Bears in the third round. The bad news is he's stuck behind Colston Loveland and Cole Kmet on the depth chart, making him a huge project player. As such, Roush really won't move up much on dynasty draft boards and looks like a bit of a dart throw in rookie drafts.

Dynasty | The Washington Commanders drafted wide receiver Antonio Williams with the 71st overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Dynasty Analysis: Wiliams fell a little in the draft but may have landed in the perfect spot. If he can put his health problems behind him, he's landed on a depth chart ripe with opportunities opposite Terry McLaurin. Time will tell if someone like Brandon Aiyuk joins Washington as well, but this seems like a solid pick and Williams looks like a second round draft pick in rookie formats as a result.

Dynasty | The Steelers drafted quarterback Drew Allar with the 76th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Dynasty Analysis: It's a great landing spot as he'll likely battle Will Howard to be the backup to Aaron Rodgers or even to start should Rodgers choose to hang it up. There's no doubting Allar's ability and his ceiling is massive. However, it also seems like he has a pretty low floor to match. We'll see how this pans out but he's an intriguing late round rookie pick in conventional drafts and a mid-round lottery ticket in Superflex formats.

Dynasty | The Falcons drafted wide receiver Zachariah Branch with the 79th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Dynasty Analysis: Branch is very intriguing player who was once the top-rated high school recruit in the country. The Falcons depth chart isn't full of talent behind Drake London and this looks like the perfect landing spot for the former Georgia Bulldog. Branch could be more of a gadget player but if he refines his skills, there's a lot to like here. He should be a solid late second round pick in rookie drafts this Spring.

Dynasty | The Tampa Bay Bucs drafted wide receiver Ted Hurst with the 84th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Dynasty Analysis: A pure burner, Hurst is going to need to play well early on to get any time with Tampa Bay, despite the loss of Mike Evans this off-season. While he could simply end up being more of a best ball dynasty asset in the end, Hurst should have a chance to develop into more and the draft capital used on him makes him worthy of a second or third round rookie pick.

For the first time since 2016, the Los Angeles Rams did not add to the running back position through the NFL draft, and Blake Corum's place on the depth chart appears to be secured heading into his third professional season. A 2024 third-round pick, Corum came into his own in year two, rushing for 746 yards and six scores while averaging more than five yards per carry. With the room looking identical to the one from last year, 2025 fourth-round pick Jarquez Hunter could be in line for his own sophomore season bump after only seeing the field on special teams plays as a rookie, but with the Rams showing an eagerness to keep Kyren Williams fresh, Corum's role still has room for expansion. Corum averaged 10.5 carries per game from Week 7 through the end of the year, and he was the RB15 over the final five weeks of the fantasy season. At RotoBaller's dynasty RB32, he is one of the league's most valuable insurance backs, but he should also maintain his own standalone worth in a high-powered Rams offense.

New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart brought a spark to the team as soon as he took over as the starter in Week 4, and while his fantasy-friendly play style as a rookie bordered on reckless at times, the team has taken strides to protect and build around their young signal caller. The Giants spent the 10th pick of the 2026 NFL Draft on Miami offensive lineman Francis Mauigoa, who could make an immediate impact at guard or eventually develop into one of the best tackles from this class. They traded into the top of the third round to add Notre Dame's outside field-stretcher Malachi Fields, who will give Dart another downfield weapon after the free agent acquisition of Darnell Mooney. No move, though, will have a larger impact on Dart's year two growth than the return to health of 2024 first-round pick Malik Nabers. Nabers tore his ACL in Dart's first career start, so the two never had a chance to develop chemistry, but his 109 receptions as a rookie were a Giants single-season record. Dart is RotoBaller's dynasty QB10, but if he can learn to protect himself and make it through a full season, there's no reason he can't threaten for a top-five ranking as early as 2026.

Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley has become the forgotten piece of Tennessee's passing offense. After paying up to land former Giant Wan'Dale Robinson in free agency, the team spent the fourth overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft on Ohio State prospect Carnell Tate, continuing to add youth to a group that saw rookies account for 41.2% of the team's receiving yards in 2025. While three of the Titans' four leading pass catchers were first-year players, it was Ridley who was leading the team in targets and yards before a broken fibula ended his season after only six games. His 48.3 receiving yards per game ultimately held up as the most on the team, all accomplished before quarterback Cam Ward took significant strides toward the end of his own rookie season. If Ridley can earn his way back into three-receiver sets alongside Tate and Robinson, he could become a steal at his current cost of RotoBaller's dynasty WR91.

Houston Texans running back David Montgomery was acquired this offseason when the team sent a package including their 2026 fourth-round pick to the Detroit Lions. Montgomery joined a backfield that was owned, largely out of necessity, by 2025 fourth-round pick Woody Marks, and with the Texans entering the NFL Draft with few glaring needs, there was a thought that they could add an additional body to the room. That did not come to pass, and Montgomery escaped the weekend as the clear top back on the depth chart. While splitting time with former first-round pick and three-time Pro Bowler Jahmyr Gibbs, Montgomery averaged more than 70 yards and .73 touchdowns per game in their time together. Marks is a reliable pass catcher who will prevent him from taking on a full bellcow role, but Montgomery is in a position to handle his largest workload since his time in Chicago, and at RotoBaller's dynasty RB31, he is a smart buy for contending managers.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin Jr. is coming off a year in which he saw career lows in receptions, yards, and yards per route run, while his two receiving touchdowns were the lowest since his rookie season. However, he is now 18 months removed from the gruesome lower leg injury that ended his 2024 season and limited him at times throughout 2025. Prior to the injury, he was the fantasy WR2 through the first seven weeks of his age-28 season. Now 30, any fears that he may be slowing down did not show up in the Buccaneers' offseason approach. The team allowed Mike Evans to depart in free agency and spent only a late Day 2 pick on the receiver position, adding Georgia State's Ted Hurst in the middle of the third round. Hurst will likely compete with Jalen McMillan for Evans' vacated snaps on the boundary, while Godwin and Emeka Egbuka offer versatility across the formation and should be the team's most consistent target-earners in 2026. At RotoBaller's dynasty WR49, Godwin is a low-cost buy for competing managers.
