Buford, one of the last young linemen available this offseason, visited the Chargers earlier in the week as well and is making the rounds. Entering his age-26 season off a down year, he presents some bounceback potential on a second contract.17 March 2026
Taylor-Britt has worked under DC Lou Anarumo before in Cincinnati. Entering his age-27 season, Taylor-Britt proved capable of combustible moments with the Bengals despite some flashes of great play. He’s a fine depth signing behind Charvarius Ward, who has a concussion history that can’t be ignored at this point.17 March 2026
There is a bit of an out in Labbe’s analysis, which is that this is contingent on Joel Bitonio returning to the team rather than retiring. Bitonio has yet to make a decision if he’ll return or not. If not, Jenkins and Zion Johnson would likely both play guard. Jenkins has said he’s open to playing either position to help the team.17 March 2026
It’s not a major surprise given a Week 14 torn Achilles. Pouncy projects Thomas Harper as a stopgap starter while Branch recovers.17 March 2026
On one hand, if the Vikings do sign Wentz, they give away the game that J.J. McCarthy isn’t really competing for a starting spot by noting that Kyler Murray has been injury-prone and they need a consistent backup. On the other hand, that idea is so laughable that it’s hard to believe that the NFL’s Sourced Reporters have continued to browbeat us with it. Wentz has also had interest from the Jets. Wherever and whenever he signs, he’ll merely be a backup.17 March 2026
TeSlaa played sparingly for most of the season until Kalif Raymond started dealing with an ankle injury near Thanksgiving. TeSlaa’s numbers boomed to an average of 44 snaps a game for the rest of the season. The target rate wasn’t exactly fantasy-friendly, but TeSlaa managed six touchdowns on just 27 targets last year and figures to be an interesting fantasy football player in 2026, if not a downright useful one.17 March 2026
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.17 March 2026
Reeling in Michael Pittman Jr. was a big move for the offense, but the Steelers have major depth issues with Calvin Austin moving on and several Aaron Rodgers-based veterans free agents and/or retired. Roman Wilson currently holds the No. 3 slot on the depth chart, and we all know Rodgers isn’t about to let that happen if he returns.17 March 2026
That’s former Notre Dame basketball player Carson Towt, that is. Towt is 6-foot-7 and 225 pounds. Basketball-to-tight end converts are a fun story — every once in a while one hits — but overall they have the consistency of CenterPoint Energy. Towt will fight for a roster spot in training camp as a UDFA.17 March 2026
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.17 March 2026
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.17 March 2026
Chestnut has 33 carries in four seasons and is a non-factor for fantasy purposes. He mainly hangs on to his roster spot through returns and special-teams play. We imagine that he’s not guaranteed to be on the roster in 2026 given how he wasn’t a priority re-sign for the Titans.17 March 2026
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.17 March 2026
Why the Giants have decided to give their offensive line failures a second chance under John Harbaugh is something we can’t understand from the outside. Ezeudu joins Evan Neal in the “one last chance” line. He was held on injured reserve for the entire 2025 season after playing just 182 offensive snaps in 2024.17 March 2026
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.17 March 2026
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.17 March 2026

Okorafor played 14 games last year and zero offensive snaps. He’ll be depth for the Jets at tackle. The 28-year-old has not started a game since abandoning the Patriots in 2024.17 March 2026
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 am ...
