He also projects some of Pittman’s targets to head to Josh Downs, perhaps elevating Downs to the fantasy WR4 line. Warren tapered off down the stretch as the Colts struggled with injured Daniel Jones and without Really Injured Daniel Jones. It does make sense that he’d take a second-year leap and be the preferred possession receiver in Pittman’s absence.

Tillery, a former first-round pick of the Chargers in 2019, has become a journeyman depth piece. He played 374 defensive snaps for the Chiefs last year and figures to slot in to that sort of role for Indianapolis in 2026 if he makes the roster.

Pinter had just 10 starts at center over five seasons with the Colts — he missed 2023 entirely with a broken ankle — and seems like a candidate to compete for the role replacing Tyler Linderbaum. How big of a candidate he is probably depends on how high the draft capital spent on center in this year’s draft is, but Pinter’s got a chance to start for sure.

It’s a situation he says “remains bad” as Jerry Jeudy and Isaiah Bond appear to be the only two players guaranteed a role on next year’s team. The Browns struck out on their attempts to add to the room via trade early in free agency and prioritized their offensive line. Jeudy’s fantasy value is hanging on by a thread with Shedeur Sanders the likely starter in 2026. Any other impact rookie additions would likely push him into the WR5 ranks.

Flacco has been searching for an unlikely path to a starting job, but one doesn’t seem like it will materialize any time soon. The Bengals brought in Josh Johnson as a backup, but Dehner believes he’s just a hedge in case Flacco is able to find more reps elsewhere. Our nation’s great Flacco free-agency scuttlebutt will continue.

He’ll compete with Devin Neal for a backup role behind new No. 1 back Travis Etienne, assuming the Saints don’t add to the room in the draft. Chandler showed some pop in his 2023 season, averaging 4.5 yards per carry, but he tumbled to 2.8 last year. He’s likely a fringe roster player at this point.

Teller will likely be tasked with playing left guard in Houston. The 31-year-old simply didn’t seem to generate much interest in free agency other than the Texans. His market didn’t materialize. He’s a stopgap starter at this point, and it wouldn’t be surprising if the Texans drafted someone in the first few rounds to push him for snaps at guard.

Likely followed former Ravens head coach John Harbaugh to New York in free agency, as expected, and signed a three year deal worth up to $47.5 million — a hefty deal considering Likely’s 2025 struggles in Baltimore. With the signing, the Giants “essentially swapped Likely in for Wan’Dale Robinson, signaling the shift in their offensive approach,” Duggan said (Robinson signed with the Titans). Likely will be “paired often” with TE Theo Johnson in a New York offense that should be among the league leaders in two tight end usage, just like Harbaugh’s Ravens, Duggan added. Likely, who should operate as a big slot receiver for Jaxson Dart, could have volume-based upside in 2026.

This move could be interpreted one of two ways. Brown could be slotted into the distant WR3 role behind A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith, or he could be a No. 2 option behind Smith if the Eagles eventually part ways this offseason with the mercurial Brown. Brown in 2025 was an afterthought in the Kansas City, totaling 587 yards and five touchdowns over 16 games. He was targeted on a ho-hum 20 percent of his pass routes last year as a part-time player in a dysfunctional Chiefs offense. Brown, entering his age-29 season, could have some WR3/4 value in deeper fantasy formats if the Eagles trade away Brown in the coming weeks or months.

The Dolphins had spent the past month halfheartedly denying Waddle was available via trade during the team’s tear-down rebuild. The Broncos had to part with premium draft picks to acquire Waddle in a move that boosts the otherwise ordinary Denver receiving room. Waddle, who frequently struggled with injuries, has just 122 receptions for 1,654 yards over the past two seasons in a run-first Miami offense. The trade leaves Tutu Atwell as the Dolphins’ top wideout for now. Last year Waddle, 27, averaged 56.9 receiving yards per game, leading the Dolphins with a 41 percent air yards share and a 22 percent target share. In Denver he’ll join an offense that last year ranked fourth in pass attempts and 11th in passing yards. While Waddle could emerge as the team’s de facto No. 1 wideout, Courtland Sutton could retain that role thanks to his chemistry with Bo Nix.
