Free-agent quarterback Russell Wilson is in "deep discussions" to go into television, which could mark the end of what is likely a Hall of Fame career, sources briefed on the talks told Andrew Marchand of The Athletic. The NFL Today on CBS is considered the favorite to land Wilson, as the two sides have had "lengthy talks." The 37-year-old veteran signal-caller had a visit recently with the New York Jets about potentially backing up Geno Smith at QB, but he hasn't had any other real interest this offseason. If the 37-year-old ends up calling it a career, the 10-time Pro Bowler and Super Bowl champion will finish with 46,966 passing yards, 353 touchdown passes, and 114 interceptions thrown in 205 regular-season games over 14 seasons. Wilson made six appearances (three starts) for the New York Giants last season before eventually being benched for young QB Jaxson Dart. If Wilson lands a deal with another team, he'll almost certainly be limited to a backup role in 2026.

The Green Bay Packers will have former Pittsburgh Steelers and Chicago Bears wide receiver Chase Claypool present at their rookie minicamp this weekend for a tryout, according to Ari Meirov of The 33rd Team. Claypool last played in the NFL in 2023 with the Bears and Miami Dolphins, catching eight of his 21 targets for 77 yards and one touchdown in 12 games played (two starts). Claypool, now 27 years old, was a second-round pick by Pittsburgh in 2020 out of Notre Dame. The best season in his four NFL seasons came in his rookie season in the Steel City, when he caught 62 passes for 873 yards and nine touchdowns on 109 targets across 16 games (six starts). Claypool also had over 800 receiving yards in his sophomore campaign with the Steelers, but he was never the same after being acquired by the Bears in the middle of the 2022 season. Green Bay lost Romeo Doubs in free agency and traded Dontayvion Wicks to the Eagles this offseason, so they could use some depth at the position behind Christian Watson, Jayden Reed, and Matthew Golden after ignoring the position in the NFL draft recently.

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (knee), who is recovering from an ACL tear, could push to be among the top tier of fantasy receivers during the 2026 season. Nabers exploded as a rookie two years ago, ranking as the overall WR6 in PPR leagues with 109 catches, 1,204 yards, and seven touchdowns. He posted those results despite missing two games and catching passes from a mix of Daniel Jones, Drew Lock, Tommy DeVito, and Tim Boyle. Going forward, he's expected to be ready for Week 1, and he'll have the best quarterback situation of his career with Jaxson Dart under center. Plus, there's not a ton of competition for targets; New York has Darius Slayton and Darnell Mooney, but they said goodbye to Wan'Dale Robinson in free agency. This Giants offense could be sneaky good in 2026, and we expect Dart to throw the ball a lot. As long as Dart and Nabers stay healthy for most of the season, the latter could be a top-tier receiver in fantasy football. We wouldn't be surprised to see him finish the season with as many fantasy points as players like Ja'Marr Chase, Puka Nacua, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, and Amon-Ra St. Brown. Similarly, he has overall WR1 upside in dynasty fantasy football.

New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo doesn't face any additional competition following the NFL Draft. There had been some speculation that the Giants could be a landing spot for Jeremiyah Love or another top running back prospect, but that never came to fruition. It appears that New York remains satisfied with a backfield of Skattebo, Tyrone Tracy Jr., and Devin Singletary. Now, the big question is whether Skattebo will be able to establish himself as the lead back in this offense. He looked like the future of the Giants' backfield in the first half of his rookie campaign last year, but a season-ending ankle injury changed the narrative. Tracy had a very strong second half of the season in his absence, and now, Skattebo will likely need to compete in camp to win the starting job over Tracy. Even if that happens, both backs will be heavily involved, so Skattebo will need to capitalize on all the touches he gets. Fortunately, he's both a physical runner and a capable receiver, so he can earn snaps on any down. After averaging 16.0 fantasy points (PPR) per game when healthy last season, Skattebo now finds himself as the RB22 in RotoBaller's latest dynasty fantasy football rankings.

Denver Broncos tight end Evan Engram remains atop the depth chart after the team didn't select any other tight ends until Day 3 of the 2026 NFL Draft. Engram was held to just 50 catches for 461 yards and one touchdown last year, posting the worst per-game averages of his nine-year career. It was a frustrating transition to Denver after Engram had been a top-five tight end in two of his three years with the Jaguars. A lot of people expected Engram to have a big role in head coach Sean Payton's offense, so it was concerning to see him finish as the TE29 last year. That outcome raised questions about his fantasy outlook going forward, but the Broncos' front office hinted that Engram will be far more involved in 2026. Additionally, the team didn't bring in any competition in free agency, and they waited until the fifth round to select NC State tight end prospect Justin Joly. With Day 3 draft capital, it will take a while for Joly to compete with Engram, if that ever happens at all. Engram remains the clear-cut No. 1 tight end in Denver, so now, he just needs to perform like one. There's still top-12 upside here if he's as involved as the Broncos have been hinting.

New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson should benefit from the team's anticipated run-heavy approach in 2026. As it stands, the Patriots' receiving corps has taken a step backward this offseason, with Stefon Diggs essentially being replaced by Romeo Doubs. Without a flashy new weapon for Drake Maye to throw to, all signs point to the Patriots running the ball a lot in 2026. That falls in line with what we saw last year, when Henderson and Rhamondre Stevenson combined for 310 carries. Both Henderson and Stevenson were top-25 backs in fantasy football, and we could see a similar result in 2026. Even though Henderson has second-round draft capital, the Patriots appear committed to getting Stevenson heavily involved. That's what a run-heavy approach bodes well for Henderson -- there will be more carries to go around, and Henderson will have an opportunity to put up RB2 numbers in fantasy football even if Stevenson is getting double-digit touches per game.

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams had an incredible breakout campaign in his second NFL season, partly due to the team's new offensive system led by first-year head coach Ben Johnson. Williams finished the 2025 regular season with 3,942 passing yards, 27 passing touchdowns, and seven interceptions. All three of those numbers set new career-highs, and although his interception total did increase from Year 1 to Year 2, he still did a great job limiting turnovers. He was also a threat on the ground, tallying 383 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns. Williams is a strong candidate to take another big leap during his third season. Last year was terrific, for sure, but there's definitely a possibility that he could hit 4,000 passing yards and 30 passing touchdowns in 2026. He certainly has a strong supporting cast that can help him reach those marks. Rome Odunze and Luther Burden III both look like potential franchise receivers, and Colston Loveland has emerged as one of the league's most impressive young tight ends. Plus, the leadership of Johnson should also allow Williams to remain a top-tier fantasy quarterback for many years to come. He's firmly entrenched as a high-end QB1 in dynasty leagues.

Unsurprisingly, the Indianapolis Colts will not pick up the fifth-year option for quarterback Anthony Richardson Sr., a source told Mike Chappell of FOX 59. The fifth-year option was considered a long shot for Richardson, who was selected fourth overall in 2023 out of the University of Florida. If the Colts had picked up Richardson's fifth-year option, he would have been guaranteed $22.483 million in 2027. The 23-year-old signal-caller has struggled with injuries and inconsistency in his three years with the organization and has been benched twice. With the Colts signing Daniel Jones (Achilles) to a two-year extension this offseason, it's been made clear that Richardson is no longer the future in Indy, which is why he has requested a trade. The Colts are willing to deal Richardson at the right cost, but nothing has materialized yet. If A-Rich stays with the Colts, there's a chance he could open the 2026 season as the No. 3 behind Jones and Riley Leonard. His dynasty/keeper stock has reached rock bottom.

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Oronde Gadsden had some historic moments as a rookie in 2025, and consistency will now be key to making him a reliable fantasy presence in year two and beyond. His 164 receiving yards in Week 7 were the most by a first-year tight end in 40 years, while he was only the third rookie tight end since 1970 to top 300 yards across a three-game span, joining Kyle Pitts Sr. and Brock Bowers. The Chargers' tendencies were streaky under offensive coordinator Greg Roman, with the team averaging 39.2 pass attempts through the first seven weeks but only 29.4 the rest of the way. Now under Mike McDaniel, Gadsden brings rare tools to a scheme that has seen Jonnu Smith and a 33-year-old Darren Waller churn out week-winning performances over the past two seasons. With bookend tackles Joe Alt and Rashawn Slater also expected back, there will be less of a need to pull Gadsden from the field in favor of blocking tight ends like the newly acquired Charlie Kolar. With the Chargers bypassing the position entirely in a loaded 2026 NFL Draft, Gadsden's jumbo slot role looks to be secure heading into year two, and at RotoBaller's dynasty TE10, it's possible he's still being slept on despite already showing a ceiling that few players in the league are capable of reaching.

Seattle Seahawks tight end Elijah Arroyo caught only 15 passes as a rookie for 179 yards and one score, but following a 2026 NFL Draft that saw nine tight ends selected through the first two days and 21 overall, he emerged as one of the few young tight ends unaffected by the historically deep class. Seattle was one of 16 teams that did not add to the position through the draft, and as such, Arroyo has seen his dynasty ranking rise to RotoBaller's TE26 as half the league's depth charts face added competition. While it will take more than just a changing landscape around him to maintain value, Arroyo's plus-athleticism and strong hands are what made him a 2025 second-round pick despite a checkered medical history. While he is still stuck behind AJ Barner on the Seahawks' depth chart, this recent draft is a clear indicator of the league's trending path towards more 12 and 13 personnel packages, and Arroyo could carve out a meaningful role under first-year offensive coordinator Brian Fleury, who has spent the past four seasons as the 49ers' tight ends coach.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker led the team in 2025 with 90 targets and 696 receiving yards. Of course, All-Pro tight end Brock Bowers was slowed by injury in the first week of the season, ultimately missing five games with a PCL sprain and bone bruise. Running back Ashton Jeanty also caught 55 passes as a rookie and could see a heavier workload in year two, but with the Raiders making few additions to the receiver room through either free agency or the draft, the spot of a third target earner is still very much up for grabs in Klint Kubiak's offense. Vegas signed Jalen Nailor to a three-year, $35 million deal and selected Malik Benson in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, adding to a room of Tucker and 2025 second and fourth-round picks, Jack Bech and D'onte Thornton Jr. While Tucker should earn starters reps again in 2026, his upside could be capped by a 37-year-old Kirk Cousins and a rookie Fernando Mendoza, and with only one year remaining on his rookie contract, the long-term plays in Vegas are more likely Nailor and Bech, before even addressing the loaded 2027 draft class. At RotoBaller's dynasty WR92, Tucker is not going to draw many suitors on the open trade market, but could be a useful throw-in as part of a larger deal.

The Las Vegas Raiders have made a near-total overhaul to a roster that went a league-worst 3-14 in 2025, but one position group that has gone largely untouched is wide receiver, which should provide ample opportunity for 2025 second-round pick Jack Bech to improve upon his rookie season. In his first year out of TCU, Bech caught only 20 passes for 224 yards with zero scores, but with Jalen Nailor representing Vegas's biggest addition through either free agency or the draft, the path to a larger workload is clear and obvious. Despite signing a three-year, $35 million deal, Nailor has never reached 30 receptions or 450 yards through four seasons with the Vikings, and he joins a wide receiver room that was led by Tre Tucker in 2025 with only 696 yards on 57 receptions. The top true receiver on the team is, and will be, tight end Brock Bowers, while running back Ashton Jeanty could be in line for the team's second biggest target share after making 55 catches as a rookie, but the rest of the receiving competition is not insurmountable. At RotoBaller's dynasty WR84, the 23-year-old Bech is a low-cost buy, and with the Raiders bypassing the chance to take Indiana's Elijah Sarratt in the fourth round of the NFL Draft, he could become the new big-bodied ball winner for first overall pick Fernando Mendoza.

Dallas Cowboys running back Jaydon Blue was a fifth-round pick in 2025, and after only one year in the league, he's already fighting for his roster life at the bottom of dynasty benches. Blue was a healthy scratch in 12 weeks as a rookie, and when he saw the field, he averaged only 3.4 yards per attempt. With Dallas extending Javonte Williams on a three-year, $24 million deal, meaningful reps will again be hard to come by, with Williams' 252 carries in 2025 ranking 10th in the league. Working in Blue's favor was one of the weakest running back draft classes in recent memory. With the Cowboys bypassing the position entirely, opting to spend most of their picks on defense, Blue's competition for primary backup duties will be fifth-year veteran Malik Davis, whose 2025 season was ended by eye and calf injuries, and fellow second-year player Phil Mafah. While the insurance role behind Williams offers little standalone value, an injury would make the Cowboys RB2 one of the more sought-after handcuffs in the league, so for dynasty managers with the luxury, the 22-year-old Blue should be held until news starts to emerge from camp about how the depth chart is shaping up.

The Cincinnati Bengals are not picking up defensive end Myles Murphy's fifth-year option, a source told Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer. However, the Bengals are hoping to still work out a long-term deal with Murphy at some point. The 24-year-old former 28th overall pick by Cincy in 2023 out of Clemson had a career-best season in 2025 in his third year in the league, tallying 52 tackles (28 solo), 5.5 sacks, six tackles for loss, 10 QB hits, three pass breakups, and a fumble recovery in 17 games played (10 starts). In his first two years with the Bengals, Murphy only had three sacks in 30 games played (zero starts). Murphy will head into the 2026 season in the final year of his rookie deal, but if he plays more like he did last year, the Bengals will surely be more open to a long-term extension for the 6-foot-5, 275-pound defensive lineman. He's off the fantasy radar in IDP formats.

The Detroit Lions declined the fifth-year option for linebacker Jack Campbell this week, according to Nolan Bianchi of The Detroit News. Ironically, Campbell had the best year of his young career in 2025, when he had 176 tackles (89 solo), five sacks, nine tackles for loss, five QB hits, four pass breakups, three forced fumbles, and two fumble recoveries in 17 starts to earn Pro Bowl honors. But it wasn't enough to convince the Lions, so the former 18th overall pick in 2023 out of Iowa will now head into the final year of his rookie contract this fall. The 25-year-old has 100-plus combined tackles in each of the last two seasons and has contributed 8.5 sacks in 51 games (46 starts) while not missing a game in his first three years in the NFL. If Campbell has another strong season in 2026, look for the Lions to try to extend him before he reaches free agency next March. In IDP fantasy formats, Campbell was the No. 1 overall linebacker, with his 89 solo tackles ranking fourth, behind Jordyn Brooks, Cedric Gray, and Devin White.

The Green Bay Packers picked up the fifth-year option for edge rusher Lukas Van Ness (foot) on Thursday, a source told Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. It will guarantee Van Ness a 2027 salary of around $13.8 million. Despite missing around half of last season with a foot injury, the Packers appear confident that he'll be able to rebound this year and next year. The 24-year-old was taken by Green Bay with the 13th overall pick in 2023 out of Iowa, and he contributed 84 tackles (58 solo), 8.5 sacks, 17 tackles for loss, and 23 QB hits in 43 games (two starts) in his first three NFL seasons. Van Ness played in only nine games in 2025 due to his foot injury, finishing with 19 tackles (12 solo), 1.5 sacks, three tackles for loss, and seven QB hits. The Packers will be relying on two edge rushers coming off major injuries last year, as Micah Parsons (knee) attempts to recover from a torn ACL that he suffered in late December.

Free-agent RB Austin Ekeler (Commanders) has been medically return to the field after his torn Achilles tendon and is planning to play in 2026, according to a source.

Fantasy Spin: Ekeler is not a starting running back at this point but can be a solid No. 2 back and a receiver out of the backfield for a team. Fantasy players can monitor his situation this offseason because he can be a later round pick in fantasy leagues.

Six-time Pro Bowl defensive end Calais Campbell, who played in Baltimore from 2020 to 2022, is returning to the Ravens on Thursday after signing an undisclosed one-year deal, a source told Adam Schefter of ESPN. Campbell will turn 40 years old on Sept. 1, and he'll be heading into his 19th NFL campaign. The 39-year-old was taken by the Arizona Cardinals in the second round back in 2008 out of the University of Miami. He played for the Cardinals again last year, starting 17 games and recording 43 tackles (23 solo), 6.5 sacks, 16 QB hits, two pass breakups, and nine tackles for loss. Campbell has only had two seasons (2017 and 2018 with the Jacksonville Jaguars) where he had double-digit sacks, but despite his advanced age, he's had at least five sacks in each of the last four seasons with Baltimore, Atlanta, Miami, and Arizona. He's not going to be on the IDP fantasy radar, but Campbell brings plenty of experience and depth to a Ravens defensive line that has some injury question marks with Nnamdi Madubuike (neck) and Broderick Washington (Achilles). In his 18 NFL seasons, Campbell has 117 sacks in 278 regular-season games.

Dynasty | The Cleveland Browns selected quarterback Taylen Green in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Dynasty Analysis: Both highly talented and highly inconsistent, Green will get his shot with the Browns. This is clearly an intriguing landing spot as Cleveland still doesn't have their quarterback room settled with the likes of Shedeur Sanders and Deshaun Watson looking like their top two options at the moment. Green has a long way to go and will likely need to beat out Dillon Gabriel for a roster spot but he's clearly worth monitoring as a later round selection in rookie drafts.

Philadelphia Eagles rookie first-round wide receiver Makai Lemon signed his four-year, fully guaranteed rookie contract on Thursday, according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. The deal includes an $11.5 million signing bonus. The Eagles traded up with the division-rival Dallas Cowboys to take Lemon at 20th overall and steal them away from the Pittsburgh Steelers, who were reportedly ready to take Lemon at pick No. 21. The selection of Lemon only reinforces the expectation that the Eagles will trade Pro Bowl wideout A.J. Brown to the New England Patriots around June 1. Lemon, who stands at 5-foot-11 and 294 pounds, profiles as more of a slot receiver, but he could be moved around the offensive formation alongside DeVonta Smith. Lemon plays bigger than his size and has plenty of yards-after-the-catch potential in a Philly offense looking for a spark. As long as Brown ends up heading out of town, Lemon should have immediate value in single-year fantasy formats in 2026. In rookie-only keeper drafts this year, Lemon should be considered a top-five player.
