Russell Wilson Taking a Job with CBS for 2026 Season

Ten-time Pro Bowl quarterback Russell Wilson is reportedly finalizing a deal with CBS to become part of the network's in-studio pregame show alongside James Brown, Nate Burleson, and Bill Cowher, according to NFL Insider Adam Schefter. The Super Bowl champion and 2020 Walter Payton Man of the Year was said to have been weighing his options in a backup role, but will step away from the field for at least the 2026 season. Wilson has started over 200 NFL games, most recently with the New York Giants, but is best remembered for his time with the Seahawks. Should the move into the media signal his official retirement from the game, his 46,966 career passing yards would rank 16th in league history.

Giants Adding JuJu Smith-Schuster on a One-Year Deal

The New York Giants have agreed to terms with wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster on a one-year deal after he took part in a Monday morning workout with the team. Veterans Odell Beckham Jr. and Braxton Berrios were part of the same workout that has now reportedly resulted in contracts for all three. With the status of 2024 first-round pick Malik Nabers unclear for the start of the season after missing 13 games in 2025 with a serious knee injury, the Giants have added an influx of depth to the position after signing Darnell Mooney and Calvin Austin III earlier in the offseason and spending a third-round pick on Malachi Fields. Smith-Schuster will reunite with offensive coordinator Matt Nagy, who held the same position during the former Pro Bowler's second stint with the Chiefs, in which he caught 51 passes for 576 yards and three touchdowns across 31 games.

New York Giants Agree to One-Year Deal with Braxton Berrios

Veteran wide receiver Braxton Berrios has agreed to a one-year contract with the New York Giants, as reported by NFL Insider Adam Schefter. Berrios took part in a Monday morning workout with the team, alongside fellow veterans Odell Beckham Jr. and JuJu Smith-Schuster, and all three reportedly agreed to deals shortly thereafter. Knee and hamstring injuries have limited Berrios to only 10 games played over the past two seasons with the Dolphins and Texans, but the former All-Pro punt returner offers special teams upside as well as receiver depth should 2024 first-round pick Malik Nabers miss any time to begin the year after tearing his ACL in 2025. The Giants have now added six new faces to the receiver room, including veterans Darnell Mooney, Calvin Austin III, and third-round pick Malachi Fields.

Odell Beckham Jr. Signing with Giants

Veteran wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. has agreed to a deal that will bring him back to the New York Giants for his 11th season in 13 years. Now 33 years old, Beckham was the first-round pick of the Giants in 2014, where he won the offensive Rookie of the Year Award and set receiving records throughout his first five years in the league. Beckham last played for the Dolphins in 2024, making nine catches in nine games for 55 yards and no scores, but has reportedly been in contact with the team for months. With the status of 2024 first-round pick Malik Nabers seemingly in doubt to begin the year after a catastrophic knee injury landed him on injured reserve in 2025, the Giants hosted Beckham, along with fellow veterans JuJu Smith-Schuster and Braxton Berrios, for a Monday morning workout that resulted in contracts for both Beckham and Berrios.

Myles Garrett and Jared Verse Swap Teams in Blockbuster Deal

The Cleveland Browns are finalizing a deal that would send two-time Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett to the Los Angeles Rams in exchange for two-time Pro Bowler Jared Verse, a 2027 first-round pick, and additional compensation that is still being negotiated, as reported by NFL Insider Adam Schefter. Garrett's 23 sacks in 2025 broke the NFL record and helped him earn his second DPOY Award in the past three seasons. He will join a Rams defense that already added Pro Bowl cornerback Trent McDuffie in exchange for a package of picks that included their 2026 first-rounder. With MVP quarterback Matthew Stafford leading the offense and two significant splashes made on defense, the Rams will undoubtedly be an early Super Bowl favorite heading into 2026.

Mason Taylor's Dynasty Value Takes a Hit for Now

New York Jets tight end Mason Taylor saw his dynasty value drop this past offseason. The Jets spent a first-round pick on Kenyon Sadiq, who projects to be the Jets' primary tight end from Day 1. That leaves Taylor, who was a second-round pick in 2025, in a backup role. Although there's still a possibility for Taylor to carve out standalone value, managers should temper expectations. First of all, the Jets had the 10th-fewest snaps in 12 personnel last year, which means we didn't see them use two tight ends a lot. They should roll out 12 personnel more often this year now that they have both Sadiq and Taylor, but we question whether it'll happen more than the league-average rate. Additionally, this offense is not set up to support two fantasy-relevant tight ends at once. It's very challenging for any NFL offense to achieve that, and the Jets probably aren't up for the challenge in a rebuild year with Geno Smith under center. Taylor is a solid handcuff in case Sadiq gets hurt, but he's falling out of favor in most fantasy leagues. He has dropped to TE23 in RotoBaller's latest dynasty fantasy football rankings.

Zachariah Branch • WR • Falcons

Zachariah Branch a Steal in the Second Round of Rookie Drafts?

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Zachariah Branch has emerged as a very intriguing target in 2026 rookie drafts. A third-round pick out of Georgia, Branch stays local as he joins a Falcons roster that desperately needed a wide receiver upgrade this offseason. Drake London is the clear alpha here, but there weren't any flashy names behind him leading up to the draft. Branch should compete for the No. 2 role right away, as he could have more of an immediate impact than players like Jahan Dotson and Olamide Zaccheaus. Atlanta will enter the season with some combination of Michael Penix Jr. (knee) and Tua Tagovailoa at quarterback. Both passers (especially Tagovailoa) have shown that they can support multiple fantasy-relevant receivers in years past. Branch's skill set fits well with these quarterbacks, too, because he's a speedy receiver who can get open deep downfield and haul in passes from the strong arms of either Penix or Tagovailoa. He projects as an early second-round pick in most rookie drafts, and he ranks as the WR63 in RotoBaller's latest dynasty fantasy football rankings. Not only does he have impressive long-term upside, but there's the potential for him to contribute as a relevant option in 2026 redraft leagues, too.

Eli Stowers • TE • Eagles

Eli Stowers Worth Targeting Now Before Eventual Breakout?

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Eli Stowers is an intriguing target in dynasty leagues ahead of his rookie season. The Eagles spent a second-round pick on Stowers, and while he won't have immediate fantasy relevance since Dallas Goedert is still under contract, the Vanderbilt product does project as the tight end of the future in Philadelphia. Goedert is expected to leave the Eagles after 2026, which means Stowers could earn a large snap share this season in anticipation of him taking on the starting role in 2027. Because he's behind Goedert right now, he can be acquired at a discount before taking on top-12 upside next year and beyond. He's a very intriguing target for dynasty managers near the end of the first round in rookie drafts. At the moment, he ranks as the overall TE12 in RotoBaller's latest dynasty fantasy football rankings.

Germie Bernard Expected to Require Some Patience in Dynasty Leagues

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Germie Bernard has an encouraging draft stock as a second-round pick and has drawn praise from the coaching staff, but his position on the depth chart could prevent him from having immediate fantasy relevance. Managers may need to exercise a little patience in dynasty leagues, as Bernard projects to open 2026 as the Steelers' No. 3 receiver behind DK Metcalf and Michael Pittman Jr. That's not to say that he should be avoided in dynasty leagues, though. Metcalf has missed at least two games in each of the last two seasons, so injuries could strike at any time and result in Bernard taking on a larger role. Plus, as a second-rounder from Alabama, we know he's a talented player who could earn more playing time simply by producing this summer and early in his rookie season. Managers may have to be a little patient, but the upside is very encouraging. Bernard is a solid target at the end of the first round or start of the second round in 2026 rookie drafts. He ranks as the WR60 in RotoBaller's latest dynasty fantasy football rankings.

Denzel Boston a First-Round Target in Dynasty Rookie Drafts

Cleveland Browns rookie wide receiver Denzel Boston has intriguing short-term and long-term upside in dynasty fantasy football leagues. Boston projects as the Browns' No. 2 receiver of the future alongside KC Concepcion, and he could ascend into that role (while leapfrogging Jerry Jeudy on the depth chart) as early as this year. The second-round pick has shown that he's pretty close to pro-ready after catching 125 passes for 1,715 yards and 20 touchdowns over his final two years at school. The biggest question mark for Boston is the Browns' quarterback situation, with Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders in the mix to start Week 1. Neither is a terrific passer, so Boston could have trouble converting targets into catches, yards, and touchdowns right away. With that being said, his skill set made him a borderline first-round pick, and he should overcome any quarterback challenges pretty quickly. He projects as a first-round pick in 2026 rookie drafts, and he ranks as the overall WR49 in RotoBaller's latest dynasty fantasy football rankings.

Bryce Young • QB • Panthers

Bryce Young's Dynasty Value Impacted by Inconsistency

Carolina quarterback Bryce Young has had an up-and-down career since the Panthers made him the first overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. The soon-to-be-25-year-old signal caller was briefly benched in his second season before reclaiming the job due to injury, and in his third season in 2025, he led the Panthers to an 8-9 record and their first playoff appearance since 2017. His fantasy results have also been held down by a lack of consistency, with finishes of QB23, QB20, and QB19. Young's five 2025 weekly results as the QB12 or better marked a career high, but through three seasons in the league, he has yet to string two such finishes together in consecutive weeks, making him a difficult weekly play outside of best ball formats. His best outing in 2025 came in a Week 11 overtime win over the Falcons, in which he threw for 448 yards and scored more than 36 fantasy points. By contrast, in the two games prior, he scored a combined 0.54 fantasy points while playing 100% of the snaps. At RotoBaller's dynasty QB28, Young is a passable QB2 in superflex leagues, but his devastating lows make him more suitable as a luxury third quarterback.

Jeremiyah Love • RB • Cardinals

Can Jeremiyah Love Become an Instant Fantasy Contributor?

Arizona Cardinals running back Jeremiyah Love was viewed as the consensus top pick in dynasty rookie drafts for months heading into the 2026 NFL Draft, and even though he landed in one of the most crowded running back rooms in the league, nothing about that ranking has changed. Love was an elite prospect with no holes in his profile, and by selecting him with the third overall pick, the Cardinals signaled a willingness to involve him early and often, even in a room with newly acquired free agent Tyler Allgeier and returning backs, James Conner and Trey Benson. The Cardinals project to have one of the league's lowest win totals in 2026, which is not genuinely an environment that harbors fantasy success from its running backs, but Love's involvement as a pass catcher could provide a safe floor early in his career. While fantasy managers may require patience for him to ultimately reach his ceiling, Love is RotoBaller's dynasty RB4 and can be the exact piece needed to push a team into title contention or extend an existing window.

Giants Working Out JuJu Smith-Schuster and Braxton Berrios in Addition to Odell Beckham Jr.

The New York Giants are working out free agent wide receivers JuJu Smith-Schuster and Braxton Berrios on Monday, along with former Giant Odell Beckham Jr. Smith-Schuster, a veteran of nine seasons, has ties to new Giants offensive coordinator Matt Nagy from their time together in Kansas City, while Berrios has been limited to only 10 games across his last two seasons with the Dolphins and Texans, recording six receptions over that time while the bulk of his contributions came on special teams. Beckham last played for the Dolphins in 2024, but was the Giants' first-round pick in 2014 and averaged 92.8 receiving yards across his five seasons with the team. With 2024 first-round pick Malik Nabers still recovering from the knee injury that ended his second season after only four games, the Giants are doing their due diligence to find receiver depth should he be unable to suit up by the start of the season.

Odell Beckham Jr. Working Out for Giants

Free agent wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. will work out for the New York Giants on Monday, according to NFL Insider Jordan Schultz. The two sides have reportedly been in contact for months, with interest from both sides in a potential reunion. The Giants' first-round pick in 2014, the 33-year-old Beckham has played 10 seasons for five different teams, most recently recording nine receptions for 55 yards in his nine games with the Dolphins in 2024. Unquestionably, though, his best football was played with the Giants, where he won the Offensive Rookie of the Year Award and averaged 92.8 receiving yards across his first five seasons in the league. Beckham last played for the Giants in 2018, and a reunion at this point could be viewed as a sign that 2024 first-round pick Malik Nabers may not be ready for the start of the season after a complicated knee injury ended his 2025 campaign after only four games.

A.J. Brown • WR • Eagles

A.J. Brown Could Be Dealt Within Next 24 Hours

With the calendar flipping to June, all eyes are now squarely on the Philadelphia Eagles, New England Patriots, and three-time Pro Bowl wide receiver A.J. Brown. For months, the date of June 1st has been circled as a threshold that would need to be crossed for the Eagles to face less severe salary cap ramifications in trading away the disgruntled wideout, and NBC Philadelphia's John Clark notes that the deal could now be done within the next 24 hours. The window for any trade to become official opens at 4pm ET on Monday, with speculation that the most likely compensation for the soon-to-be-29-year-old Brown could be New England's 2028 first-round pick. Brown is currently RotoBaller's dynasty WR20, and while many in the dynasty community have unofficially viewed him as a Patriot for weeks or even months, he is naturally likely to see a value spike if and when a deal officially ties him to 23-year-old MVP runner-up Drake Maye.

Parker Washington Set to Play "Most Important Role" of His Career in Jaguars Offense

According to John Shipley of Sports Illustrated, Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington has continued to impress during the team's OTAs and is set to play the "most important role" of his young career during the upcoming season. According to Shipley, Washington has made a strong case to be named the team's OTAs MVP as he continues to find success in this offense. Washington emerged as a legit league-winner in fantasy during the back half of the 2025 season when he became the top option for Trevor Lawrence. Over his last nine games, Washington caught 41 of his 61 targets for 640 yards and four touchdowns. He carried this momentum into the postseason when he brought in seven passes for 101 yards and a touchdown in their Wild Card loss. While he will share targets with Jakobi Meyers and Brian Thomas Jr., it appears the 24-year-old is set to play a lead role in this passing offense, which will put him in a prime position for a breakout campaign.

Wan'Dale Robinson's Dynasty Value May Have Peaked in 2025

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson put together the best season of his career in 2025, recording 92 catches for 1,014 yards and four touchdowns on 140 targets across 16 games as a member of the New York Giants. The Titans rewarded Robinson in free agency, handing him a four-year, $70 million contract. In Tennessee, Robinson will reunite with former Giants play-caller Brian Daboll and should play a prominent role in his team's passing game out of the slot. However, Robinson's place in the target pecking order in Tennessee was knocked down a peg after the Titans used the number four overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft on Ohio State wide receiver Carnell Tate. The overall offensive environment in Tennessee also remains questionable, as 2025 number one overall pick Cameron Ward flashed upside in his rookie season but largely struggled in his first year as the Titans quarterback. In dynasty formats, managers may want to explore selling Robinson at a high point in his value, entering a season full of unknowns in Tennessee.

Tyler Shough • QB • Saints

Should Dynasty Managers Consider Selling High on Tyler Shough?

A second-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, New Orleans Saints quarterback Tyler Shough took over as his team's QB1 in Week 9 of his rookie season. After some early struggles, Shough finished strong and closed the year with 2,384 yards, 10 touchdowns, and six interceptions across 11 games (nine starts). He also surprised many with his contributions on the ground, rushing for 186 yards and three scores on 45 attempts. There's reason for optimism heading into Shough's second year, particularly after the Saints boosted his supporting cast over the offseason by drafting wide receiver Jordyn Tyson (hamstrings) in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft and signing running back Travis Etienne Jr. in free agency. At the same time, Shough is already entering his age-27 season after spending seven years in college. While his rookie season warrants praise, it wasn't dominant enough for him to definitely remain the clear quarterback of the future in New Orleans if he experiences some early struggles in 2026. If dynasty managers can get a massive return for Shough, they may want to consider selling him at what could be the highest point in his value.

Garrett Wilson's Dynasty Upside Remains High Despite Questionable Offensive Environment in New York

After playing in 51 consecutive games to open his career, New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson (knee) appeared in just seven games in 2025 due to a knee injury. As a result, the 25-year-old finished the year with 36 receptions for 359 yards and four touchdowns on 59 targets. Wilson has been a highly productive player since entering the NFL in 2022, recording three straight seasons with at least 80 catches and 1,000 receiving yards before 2025. He's been consistently held back by questionable quarterback play in New York, which has limited his fantasy upside. While Wilson may face familiar problems in 2026, the presence of veteran quarterback Geno Smith in New York should at least bring some stability to a Jets passing game that was led by a combination of Justin Fields, Tyrod Taylor, and Brady Cook last season. Wilson also remains the obvious number one target in New York even after the team used first-round picks in the 2026 NFL Draft on wideout Omar Cooper Jr. and tight end Kenyon Sadiq. In dynasty formats, Wilson's injury may have created a buy-low window for managers to capitalize on leading into 2026.

Kenneth Gainwell Carries Dynasty Sell-High Appeal After Breakout 2025 Campaign

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Kenneth Gainwell is coming off a breakout season in 2025, as he recorded 1,023 scrimmage yards and eight touchdowns on 187 touches across 17 games as a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Tampa Bay rewarded Gainwell for his efforts, signing him to a two-year contract in free agency to form a backfield tandem with Bucky Irving (shoulder). Much of Gainwell's production in Pittsburgh came as a receiver out of the backfield, as he hauled in 73 receptions for 486 yards and three touchdowns on 85 targets. While Gainwell should still be involved in the passing game with the Buccaneers, he'll no longer have the benefit of playing with Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Rodgers targeted running backs at an extremely high rate in 2025, allowing Gainwell to rack up PPR fantasy points with consistency. Additionally, a bounce-back season from Irving could lead to a reduced role for Gainwell. Irving battled through injuries and inconsistency in 2025, but he flashed high-end upside as a rookie in 2024, averaging 5.4 yards per carry and collecting over 1,500 yards from scrimmage. In dynasty formats, managers may want to explore selling high on Gainwell after his career year.
