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 ...17 March 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, enterin ...17 March 2026

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. Last year Waddle, 27, averaged 56.9 receiving yards per game, leading the Dolphins with a 4 ...17 March 2026
The Jaguars let Travis Etienne walk in free agency and signed Rodriguez, formerly of the Commanders, to join second-year, oft-injured RB Bhayshul Tuten in the backfield this season. The new details of Rodriguez’s two-year contract — including a $4 million signing bonus — confirm he’ll play a significant role in the Jacksonville backfield. An efficient early-down back in Washington, Rodriguez could be in line for lead back duties if Tuten struggles in offseason practices and training camp ...16 March 2026
Bates visited with the Giants Monday, per the league’s transactions wire. He would seem to be a good fit for a team looking to bolster its offensive interior, with Bates bringing significant experience playing both guard and center during his seven-year NFL career.16 March 2026
Both signings offer depth at positions of need. Gibbens handled 45% of the defensive snaps for the Patriots in 2025 while Billings was in on 48% of the defensive snaps for the Bears. Of particular intrigue is the addition of Gibbens considering the relative lack of depth inside on the second level currently, meaning he could carve out a substantial role for the Cardinals in 2026.
