Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Andrei Iosivas is an underrated NFL wideout who would probably be much more fantasy relevant if he were on another team. But in Cincinnati, he's a forgotten man behind one of the best WR duos in the league in Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. The 26-year-old former sixth-round selection by Cincy in 2023 out of Princeton was fourth on the team last year with 435 receiving yards in 17 games (nine starts). Iosivas caught 33 of his 58 targets for just two touchdowns. In 2024, he had a career-best 479 receiving yards and six touchdowns on 36 receptions. It didn't help his cause in 2025 that quarterback Joe Burrow missed eight games with a toe injury. The Bengals' third receiver will go undrafted in 12-team fantasy leagues this fall, but an injury to Chase or Higgins would make Iosivas an interesting waiver-wire pickup. He finished his third year in the NFL as the No. 70 overall receiver in half-PPR scoring, averaging just 4.9 fantasy points per game.

Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears had a career-low 283 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 72 carries in 13 games (one start) in 2025 in his third year in the league. Despite the disappointing performance on the ground, Spears did contribute as a pass-catcher, hauling in 45 of his 50 targets for 264 yards through the air. The 24-year-old former third-round pick (81st overall) by the Titans in 2023 out of Tulane was just inside the top-50 RBs in half-PPR scoring, and he ranked 10th among all RBs with his 45 receptions despite playing in only 13 games. The Titans haven't made any additions to their RB room so far this offseason, but Spears remains behind lead back Tony Pollard for early-down touches. Tennessee may address its backfield in the upcoming NFL draft, which could add additional competition for touches. At best, the fourth-year back will continue to be in a third-down, passing-catching role for the Titans, making him a late-round PPR flier for his abilities as a receiver out of the backfield.

Miami Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright only appeared in 10 games (one start) in his second year in the NFL with the Dolphins in 2025, carrying the ball a career-high 70 times for 288 yards (4.1 yards per carry) and two touchdowns on the ground. He added five catches on nine targets for 44 yards through the air. The 22-year-old fourth-rounder in 2024 out of Tennessee stands at 5-foot-10 and 208 pounds. Wright has plenty of game-changing speed to break big plays, but the problem is his volume will likely continue to remain limited in Miami's backfield behind do-it-all back De'Von Achane. The Dolphins will have a new offensive system under new head coach Jeff Hafley and with new quarterback Malik Willis in 2026, but with Achane still expected to see the lion's share of snaps and touches, Wright won't be much more than an upside handcuff option for those who draft Achane early. In addition to fighting for touches with Achane, the Dolphins also have second-year back Ollie Gordon II. In his two years, Wright has only had 537 rushing yards and two touchdowns on the ground on 138 rushing attempts.

A second-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, New Orleans Saints quarterback Tyler Shough took over as his team's starter in Week 8 of his rookie campaign. The 26-year-old went 5-4 as a starter and finished the year with 2,384 passing yards, 10 touchdowns, and six interceptions across 11 games played. Shough showed some ability to make plays with his legs as well, collecting 186 rushing yards and three rushing scores on 45 attempts. While Shough's numbers don't necessarily jump off the page, he finished the year on a high note. Over his last four games played, Shough recorded 1,172 passing yards and five touchdowns while throwing just one interception. He's locked in as the Saints QB1 heading into 2026, and could establish himself as the team's long-term answer at the position with a strong sophomore season. Shough profiles as a solid QB2 in superflex formats heading into 2026 and carries some upside in dynasty leagues as well.

University of Nebraska running back Emmett Johnson dominated college competition as a redshirt junior in 2025, collecting 1,451 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns on 251 carries across 12 games. Johnson contributed as a receiver out of the backfield as well, hauling in 46 receptions for 370 yards and three scores. Despite the standout college production, Johnson is not considered to be an elite NFL athlete at the running back position, limiting his high-end upside. Still, Johnson should come off the board on Day 2 of the 2026 NFL Draft and has a chance to make an impact in an NFL backfield right away as a rookie. If Johnson can overcome some of his athleticism concerns, he has the well-rounded skill profile to become a three-down workhorse at the next level. While he's unlikely to take over as a team's lead rusher in the short term, Johnson could be worth targeting for dynasty managers in 2026. RotoBaller currently ranks Johnson as the RB44 in dynasty formats, right between fellow 2026 draft prospect Jonah Coleman and veteran Minnesota Vikings back Aaron Jones Sr.

With the 2026 NFL Draft right around the corner, Arizona State wide receiver Jordyn Tyson is expected to come off the board in the latter half of the first round. While Tyson's numbers dipped in his senior season with the Sun Devils, he still racked up 711 receiving yards and eight touchdowns on 61 receptions across nine games in 2025. Tyson recorded 18 touchdown grabs over his final 21 games in college and is known as a high-end contested catch threat. Depending on where he ends up, Tyson could be an immediately impactful fantasy wide receiver in 2026, and he carries significant long-term upside as well. RotoBaller currently ranks Tyson as the WR33 for dynasty formats, right between Jacksonville Jaguars wideout Parker Washington and fellow 2026 draft prospect Makai Lemon.

Across 17 games as a rookie in 2025, Miami Dolphins running back Ollie Gordon II recorded 70 carries for 199 yards and three touchdowns. While Gordon II flashed upside at different points throughout the season, he was ultimately blocked off from playing time by superstar Dolphins back De'Von Achane. Gordon II also lost some playing time down the stretch to Miami running back Jaylen Wright, who finished the year with the same number of carries (70) as Gordon II. The Dolphins will have a new coaching staff in place for the 2026 season, which brings some uncertainty to the backfield playing time situation. Still, barring a trade, Gordon II will undoubtedly be stuck behind Achane and may ultimately end up third on his team's running back depth chart. Gordon II retains some dynasty value after 2025, but it's difficult to project a year two breakout without a drastic change to the situation around him in Miami.

Los Angeles Rams tight end Colby Parkinson put together the most productive year of his career in 2025, recording 43 receptions for 408 yards and eight touchdowns on 56 targets across 15 games played. Parkinson's spike in red zone production was perhaps the most surprising aspect of his season, as he entered 2025 with just five total touchdown grabs across 69 career NFL games. Still, Parkinson's fantasy upside is limited by a few factors. For one, he averaged fewer than four targets per game in 2025 and has never averaged more than 2.9 receptions per game in any of his six NFL seasons. Secondly, the Rams have one of the deepest tight end rooms in the NFL between Parkinson, Terrance Ferguson, Tyler Higbee, and Davis Allen. Playing in the high-powered Rams offense gives Parkinson a chance to spike a high-touchdown rate season as he did in 2025. However, the 27-year-old's long-term dynasty value remains limited.

Former Chicago Bears All-Pro wide receiver/returner Devin Duvernay is signing with the Arizona Cardinals on a one-year, $2.5 million deal on Sunday, according to Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports. Duvernay was a Pro Bowler in 2021 and 2022 with the Baltimore Ravens as a kick returner, and that's where most of his production will likely come as he heads to the desert. The 28-year-old former third-round pick by the Ravens in 2020 out of the University of Texas only caught two passes on five targets for 26 yards in 17 regular-season games for the Bears last season. On special teams, though, he returned 40 kickoffs for 1,069 yards and returned 21 punts for 231 yards. In his six years in the NFL, Duvernay's best year on offense was in 2022 with Baltimore, when he caught 37 passes for 407 yards and three touchdowns on 49 targets in 14 games. Duvernay is highly unlikely to become a fantasy asset as a receiver next season in Arizona.

The Cincinnati Bengals announced on Saturday that they signed free-agent journeyman quarterback Josh Johnson to an undisclosed deal. Johnson will continue his NFL career into his 11th season, and this will be his second stint with Cincinnati, as he also played for them back in 2013. The 39-year-old veteran has suited up for seven different teams in his career. He was with the Washington Commanders in 2025, going 34-for-54 for 372 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions in five games (two starts). The Bengals needed some more quarterback depth going into the 2026 season after Jake Browning signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in free agency. As things currently stand, Johnson figures to compete with Sean Clifford for backup duties behind starter Joe Burrow. In his 10 NFL seasons, Johnson has completed only 58.7% of his 412 pass attempts for 2,669 yards, 14 touchdowns, and 18 interceptions.

The Carolina Panthers re-signed starting safety Nick Scott on a one-year deal worth up to $3.25 million on Saturday, agents Jeremy Appledorf and Ed Wasielewski told Joe Person of The Athletic. Scott is one of the leaders of defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero's scheme, and he was second on the team last year with a career-high 111 tackles (64 solo). In addition to his 111 tackles, Scott had an interception, three pass breakups, and a fumble recovery in 17 regular-season starts in his second year with the team. The 30-year-old former seventh-round pick by the Los Angeles Rams in 2019 out of Penn State finished as the No. 33 defensive back in IDP fantasy scoring in his seventh year in the NFL. He will return to Carolina's secondary again next season and start opposite Tre'von Moehrig. Scott has 355 career tackles (216 solo), five interceptions, 14 pass breakups, two forced fumbles, and two fumble recoveries in 108 games (48 starts).

The New York Jets re-signed running back/return man Kene Nwangwu to a one-year, $2 million deal on Saturday, a source told Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network. Nwangwu will receive $1 million guaranteed and can earn up to $3 million with incentives. The 28-year-old former fourth-rounder in 2021 out of Iowa State by the Minnesota Vikings didn't see a single carry in only two games with the Jets in 2024. He had a slightly bigger role last year, seeing 13 rushing attempts for 49 yards. Nwangwu only has 40 carries for 137 yards (3.4 yards per carry) and no touchdowns in his five years in the NFL, so fantasy managers shouldn't really expect much of him in 2026 behind Breece Hall, Braelon Allen, and Isaiah Davis. He hasn't been much of a factor on offense, but Nwangwu had 604 yards and a touchdown on 18 kickoff returns for Gang Green in 2025. The Jets will hope he can continue to excel on special teams as a returner.

Jacksonville Jaguars two-way player Travis Hunter (knee) saw nearly a 2:1 offense-to-defense snap-count split in his rookie campaign and appeared to be on the verge of a breakout before an LCL knee injury ended his season in Week 7. With reports out of Jacksonville that Hunter will spend year two as a full-time defensive back with part-time offensive usage, the 22-year-old has slipped outside the top-100 dynasty players in consensus rankings. The Jaguars remain adamant that they will not trade receiver Brian Thomas Jr., creating a bit of a bottleneck at the position with Jakobi Meyers and Parker Washington, and making Hunter more valuable to the team on defense. Even in IDP formats, cornerbacks often rely on outlier seasons to gain fantasy relevance, and Hunter's limited work at receiver might not be enough to make him anything more than a late-round upside-play.

Dynasty | The Giants have signed wide receiver Darnell Mooney. Dynasty Analysis: Mooney signed a one-year deal worth $10 million, so that's hardly a drop in the bucket. The money alone makes you believe he's going to get ample playing time alongside Malik Nabers. It seems reasonable to think Mooney, Darius Slayton and Calvin Austin all kind of cancel each other out, especially with the Giants also bringing in Isaiah Likely but Mooney may end up being the best bet for production. In the end, this might be a signing better in reality than fantasy as it does little other than cloud the receiver room further for the Giants. Mooney remains a fringe roster option in a dynasty league.

Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum was PFF's third-highest graded running back over the final six weeks of the 2025 season, with only Derrick Henry topping his five rushing touchdowns over that span. With the Rams making a concerted effort to preserve Kyren Williams for an eventual playoff run, Corum saw his involvement rise by nearly four touches per game from the first half of the season to the second. With reigning MVP Matthew Stafford returning for one more season, and Los Angeles already pushing their chips in for another title run, Corum and Williams could be in line for even closer to a 50/50 regular-season workload split. At worst, Corum should be one of the most valuable fantasy handcuffs in 2026, though he could realistically carry standalone flex value into his third professional season.

Veteran tight end Mo Alie-Cox has agreed to a one-year deal that will keep him with the Indianapolis Colts for his 10th season. At 6'5" and 267 pounds, Alie-Cox is a red zone threat that must be accounted for, as evidenced by his 16 career touchdowns, but his most notable contribution is as one of the premier run-blocking tight ends in the league. Three-time Pro-Bowl running back Jonathan Taylor has topped 1,400 rushing yards and double-digit touchdowns in back-to-back seasons, and if the recently re-signed Daniel Jones can return to form following a season-ending Achilles injury, Taylor is a legitimate threat for the second rushing title of his career.

From Weeks 4 through 10 of the 2025 season, New York Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart was the QB3 across most fantasy formats. He would miss the next two weeks with a concussion and finish as QB13 across his 12 starts. He now enters 2026 with an improved supporting cast and a chance to take a massive leap in year two. The Giants have added tight end Isaiah Likely and wide receiver Darnell Mooney through free agency and are expected to see the returns of Malik Nabers and Cam Skattebo, both of whom ended their season on injured reserve. Dart finished his rookie year with nearly 500 yards on the ground and nine rushing touchdowns, and his rushing prowess will continue to provide a safe fantasy floor, but with the notable upgrades to the weaponry around him, his upside case is as strong as any quarterback outside the fantasy elite.

Free agent wide receiver Darnell Mooney has agreed to a one-year deal with the New York Giants worth up to $10 million. Mooney was pegged as a popular sleeper candidate with the Falcons in 2025, but dealt with injuries and inconsistency and was unable to top 75 receiving yards in any of his 15 starts. He now brings an element of speed to a Giants' offensive unit that has already added tight end Isaiah Likely through free agency and is expected to have both Malik Nabers and Cam Skattebo back from season-ending injuries. Quarterback Jaxson Dart's 11.9-yard ADoT in his final season at Ole Miss was among the highest in the nation, and he should benefit from the addition of another downfield threat.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton was a top-15 fantasy receiver for the second year in a row in 2025, but he was very inconsistent week over week and saw his role diminish as some of the Broncos' younger receivers stepped into larger roles. Sutton had eight games with at least 16.7 full-PPR points, but he also had four games with fewer than 5.5 fantasy points, which is far from ideal for someone being drafted as a WR2. He also had four different games with just one catch as the Broncos worked to feature Pat Bryant and Troy Franklin. Bryant, a rookie, registered at least seven fantasy points, three catches, and four targets in each of his last five games. Meanwhile, Franklin, a second-year receiver, had three games with at least 20 points and finished as the overall WR31. It may be too soon to predict that either Bryant or Franklin will completely outscore Sutton in year-long fantasy football, but the 31-year-old is definitely a riskier pick in 2026 given his teammates' ascensions. Sutton is best viewed as a low-end WR2 or high-end WR3 with a floor outside the top 36 receivers.

Los Angeles Chargers running back Omarion Hampton continues to trend upward ahead of the 2026 season. Hampton is coming off an impressive rookie campaign and should now benefit from playing in a system led by offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel. Under McDaniel's leadership last year, the Dolphins had the fourth-most rushing yards per carry, so we would expect Los Angeles to adopt a run-heavy system with similar success in 2026. Hampton had 380 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns through his first four games, but a midseason injury interrupted his progress and led to subpar results at the end of the year. Now that he's heading into his second season and is healthy, Hampton should take that next step forward and produce as a potential top-12 fantasy running back. He'll also benefit from having more protection in front of him, as the Chargers' league-worst offensive line added projected starters Tyler Biadasz and Cole Strange this offseason.
