| 3/9/2026 4:39:00 PM | Keenum is re-signing with the Bears on a two-year contract Monday, Chris Emma of The Score reports. |
| Keenum served as the third-string quarterback behind Caleb Williams and Tyson Bagent in 2025. That role isn't expected to change in 2026, but Chicago values the 38-year-old Keenum's experience and will keep Keenum aboard as a mentor to Williams. | |
| 3/9/2026 1:26:00 PM | Irving could face increased competition for touches, as NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports Monday that Kenneth Gainwell is signing a two-year, $14 million contract with the Buccaneers. |
| Irving missed seven games due to foot and shoulder injuries in 2025, and he ceded touches to Sean Tucker and Rachaad White after returning. While Irving ultimately led the Buccaneers with 173 rushing attempts, he scored only one rushing touchdown compared to White's four on 132 carries and Tucker's seven on 86 carries. White and Tucker are both free agents, but the addition of Gainwell suggests Irving could be ticketed for less of a workhorse role in 2026, as Gainwell racked up 1,023 yards from scrimmage and eight total touchdowns on 114 carries and 85 targets in the 2025 regular season with the Steelers. | |
| 3/2/2026 11:17:00 AM | Gibbs is now the sole clear leader of Detroit's backfield, with the team having traded David Montgomery to the Texans on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. |
| Gibbs has significantly outpaced Montgomery in back-to-back seasons despite the tandem sharing work out of the Lions backfield, but the 28-year-old veteran's departure ushers in a new era for the ground game in Detroit. Since joining the team as a first-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, Gibbs has consistently operated in a split backfield and manufactured dominant production via explosiveness, efficiency and pass-catching chops rather than overwhelming volume. It's worth noting that in 2025, Montgomery averaged five fewer touches per game while Gibbs managed to total 1,839 yards from scrimmage and 18 total touchdowns while handling a career-high 320 touches and suiting up for all 17 regular-season games. Nonetheless, it would be surprising if the Lions don't bring in another complementary backfield option in free agency or April's draft. | |
| 2/24/2026 9:56:00 PM | Bears GM Ryan Poles said Tuesday at the NFL Scouting Combine that teams have called about the availability of Bagent via trade this offseason, Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times reports. |
| Bagent was signed by the Bears as an undrafted free agent out of Shepherd in 2023 and started four games as a rookie, completing 94 of 143 passes for 859 yards, three touchdowns and six interceptions across five total appearances. He's attempted just six regular-season passes over the last two campaigns but has looked good during the preseason when on the field. Bagent has two years remaining on his contract at $4 million each season, so he's very affordable and could be a stop-gap option for a rebuilding team. | |
| 2/18/2026 10:03:00 AM | Mahomes (knee) recently agreed to restructure his contract, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. |
| The Chiefs add $43.56 million in cap space with the restructure, but they'll still need to make other moves to become cap-compliant before the start of the new league year March 11. Mahomes is in the early stages of his rehab process after undergoing surgery in mid-December to repair ACL and LCL tears. He said in mid-January that he was aiming to be ready for Week 1 of 2026, though he acknowledged that he "can't predict what happens throughout the process," per The Associated Press. | |
| 2/17/2026 1:12:00 AM | Winters recorded 101 tackles (67 solo) and an interception in 17 regular-season games with the 49ers in 2025. |
| Winters took over the starting role vacated by Dre Greenlaw's departure to Denver this past offseason. The third-year linebacker played the most snaps of his career (1,010) while cracking the century mark in combined tackles for IDP managers. Fred Warner (ankle) should be ready to reclaim his spot in the middle of San Francisco's defense in 2026, and Winters' strong play has put him in prime position to start alongside Warner for the final year of his rookie contract. | |

| 2/9/2026 9:33:00 AM | Myers connected on all five field-goal attempts and both extra-point tries in Sunday's 29-13 win over the Patriots in the Super Bowl. |
| Myers accounted for the Seahawks' first 12 points of the game, and he finished with 17 total points. The 34-year-old kicker completed a perfect postseason, drilling all eight field-goal attempts and 11 extra-point tries through three playoff games. Myers was dependable during the regular season, too, making 85 percent of his field goals and every extra point. He's heading into the final year of his contract but could be an extension candidate as the Seahawks look to retain their title in 2026. | |
| 1/25/2026 6:42:00 PM | Sutton brought in three of five targets for 17 yards and a touchdown in the Broncos' 10-7 loss to the Patriots in Sunday's AFC Championship Game. |
| Sutton helped Denver's afternoon get off on the right foot with a six-yard touchdown reception to cap off the Broncos' second possession. However, the veteran went on to have a key drop later in the first half and struggled to make much of an impact the rest of the way while frequently being shadowed by New England's standout cornerback Christian Gonzalez. Sutton had a relatively unremarkable two-game postseason run save for Sunday's TD grab, as he finished with a combined 7-70-1 line on 14 targets in that span. | |
| 1/18/2026 10:56:00 PM | Williams completed 23 of 42 pass attempts for 257 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions while taking five carries for 40 yards in Sunday's 20-17 overtime loss in the divisional round to the Rams. |
| Williams found himself in familiar territory in Sunday's divisional round matchup when he was staring at a deficit in the fourth quarter that required him to pull off a heroic comeback. The sophomore signal-caller accomplished what appeared impossible when he scrambled backwards 10-plus yards before chucking a prayer to the end zone on fourth down that TE Cole Kmet came down with to send the contest to overtime. The magic ran out for Williams and the Bears in the extra period when Rams S Kamren Curl laid out for an athletic interception that ultimately ended Chicago's playoff run. The 23-year-old Williams made strides from the pocket in his first year under head coach Ben Johnson, amassing 3,942 passing yards with 27 touchdowns to seven interceptions across 17 starts in the regular season. The USC product struggled with turnovers in two postseason contests (four TDs to five INTs), something he will look to clean up in future postseason appearances, but Williams' overall performance has the future looking bright in Chicago. | |
| 1/12/2026 4:13:00 PM | Hampton lost a yard on his only carry in the Chargers' 16-3 wild-card loss Sunday to the Patriots. |
| The rookie was active for the contest despite failing to practice both Wednesday and Thursday due to an ankle injury, but the Chargers opted not to give Hampton -- who logged just two snaps on offense Sunday -- much work as Kimani Vidal took all 11 of the team's other RB carries. It was a rollercoaster of a season for the 2025 first-round pick, as Hampton was thrust immediately into prominence Week 1 due to Najee Harris' eye injury and capped off a solid first month with an explosive 165 total yards on 17 touches Week 4 against the Giants. That game ended up being Hampton's only contest over 100 total yards the rest of the season, however, as the 22-year-old missed seven weeks due to a fractured ankle and returned to work behind an offensive line completely in tatters by Week 14. The Chargers are certainly invested enough in Hampton to make him a sought-after fantasy asset in 2026, but the team will need to make a concerted effort to rebuild an offensive line that was decimated by injuries by the end of the season. Hampton is expected to have at least one complementary piece alongside him come next season, whether it be exclusive rights free agent Vidal, a cheaper veteran comparable to the aforementioned Harris or a combination of both. | |
| 1/11/2026 11:17:00 PM | Watt tallied 55 tackles (23 solo), including seven sacks, along with two interceptions, eight pass defenses, three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries over 14 regular-season appearances in 2025. |
| Watt missed three of the Steelers' final four games of the regular season due to a partially collapsed lung. While most of his total numbers were down from the 2023 and 2024 campaigns -- when he didn't miss any games -- he was still relatively efficient in 2025 and finished third on the team in sacks despite missing three matchups. Watt returned to action for the team's Week 18 matchup against the Ravens and will continue to be available to begin the playoffs. The 2017 first-round pick signed a three-year, $123 million contract extension with Pittsburgh ahead of the 2025 season, so he'll remain a focal point for the team's defense in 2026. | |
| 1/11/2026 6:37:00 PM | Washington caught seven of 12 targets for 107 yards and a touchdown in the Jaguars' 27-24 loss to the Bills in the wild-card round Sunday. He added two rushing yards on two carries. |
| The third-year wideout was Trevor Lawrence's top downfield option on the afternoon, leading Jacksonville in catches, yards and targets and capping his performance with a six-yard TD grab early in the fourth quarter. Dating back to Week 16, Washington topped 100 receiving yards in three of his last four games in 2025, erupting for a 26-454-3 line on 41 targets over that stretch, and the 2023 sixth-round pick will head into next season having made a strong case to be considered the Jags' No. 1 WR. | |
| 1/8/2026 9:24:00 PM | Werner finished the 2025 season with 81 tackles (50 solo), including 2.0 sacks, and five passes defended across 17 appearances. |
| Werner posted 80 or more tackles for the fourth year in a row, and he played every regular-season game for the first time in his career. The 26-year-old finished third on the Saints in tackles behind fellow inside linebacker Demario Davis (143) and cornerback Alontae Taylor (83). As long as Davis continues playing for New Orleans, Werner figures to remain in a secondary role in 2026. | |
| 1/8/2026 2:09:00 PM | Smith tallied 130 total tackles (76 solo) and three passes defensed across 15 regular-season games in 2025. |
| Despite missing two contests during Baltimore's 2025 campaign, the 28-year-old led the team in total tackles for the third consecutive season. That said, Smith posted fewer total tackles (154 to 130), sacks (1.5 to zero), passes defensed (four to three), interceptions (one to zero) and forced fumbles (one to zero) than he did in 2024, all while playing 15 more defensive snaps this year. The All-Pro linebacker remains under contract through the 2027 season, so he's expected to operate as the Ravens' defensive signal-caller again in 2026. | |
| 1/5/2026 10:54:00 PM | Campbell recorded 176 total tackles (89 solo), including 5.0 sacks, while also adding four passes defensed, three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries over 17 contests during the 2025 regular season. |
| Campbell found a way to take another step up in his third campaign in Detroit, setting new career high totals in tackles, sacks, forced fumbles and fumble recoveries. The linebacker finished second in the NFL in total tackles only behind Dolphins linebacker Jordyn Brooks (183). Campbell will be entering the final season of his rookie contract in 2026. | |
| 1/5/2026 12:28:00 PM | Santos did not attempt a kick in the Bears' 19-16 loss to the Lions on Sunday. |
| Santos provided a stable weekly fantasy floor across the season, scoring fewer than six points in only two games while finishing with a high of 13 points. However, his efficiency continued to trend down after failing to top 84.0 percent accuracy for the second straight year. He is signed with Chicago through 2027 but offers limited upside relative to other fantasy kickers. | |
| 1/5/2026 12:09:00 AM | Oladokun completed 11 of 17 passes for 58 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 14-12 loss to the Raiders. He added one rush for zero yards and two lost fumbles. |
| Oladokun started his second consecutive game in the absence of both Patrick Mahomes (knee) and Gardner Minshew (knee). He led one field-goal drive midway through the first quarter, though he lost a pair of fumbles in the second quarter and was benched at halftime. Oladokun remains under contract with the Chiefs in 2026, but he's very unlikely to get another opportunity at starting, even if Mahomes is sidelined to begin the year. | |
| 1/4/2026 10:24:00 PM | Williams secured six of eight targets for 74 yards in the Lions' 19-16 win over the Bears on Sunday. |
| Williams played second fiddle to Amon-Ra St. Brown -- who finished with an 11-139-0 line on 15 targets -- but the former managed to close out a career-best season with another solid performance. Williams finally evolved into a well-rounded No. 2 receiver during the second half of the campaign, allowing him to finish with new career highs in receptions (65) and receiving yards (1,117) while also tying a career-best figure in receiving touchdowns (seven) across 17 games. Williams should reprise his role in 2026 alongside St. Brown on the heels of back-to-back 1,000-yard campaigns. | |
| 1/4/2026 6:57:00 PM | Warren caught five of eight targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 38-30 loss to the Texans. |
| With Riley Leonard getting his first career start at quarterback, Warren wound up being nothing more than a security blanket and check-down option for his fellow rookie, with his longest gain going for just nine yards. The five receptions still led the Colts, however. Warren puts his first NFL season in the books with a 76-817-4 line on 112 targets, and depending on how the team solves its QB dilemma this offseason, the tight end could be poised for a Year 2 breakout. | |
| 1/4/2026 5:32:00 PM | Jeudy caught two of six targets for 17 yards and added five yards on his only carry in Sunday's 20-18 win over the Bengals. |
| While the veteran wideout's volume was poor, Jeudy's final catch of the game was huge -- he converted a third down with an 11-yard grab from Shedeur Sanders to help set up the game-winning field goal in the final minute of the fourth quarter. Jeudy had arguably the worst season of his NFL career in 2025, playing all 17 games but managing a poor 50-602-2 line on 106 targets as the Browns cycled through three different starting QBs. His prospects of a rebound in 2026 will depend on whether the organization can find a real solution under center this offseason. | |
