Giants Trade Dexter Lawrence to Bengals; Anderson Gets Record Extension

Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett Skips Offseason Program Seeking Extension -- Jacoby Brissett is not attending Phase 1 of the Cardinals' offseason program as he seeks an extension that pays him as a starter, per @RapSheet. Brissett is set to make $9.06M in 2026 with only $1.5M guaranteed and is looking for security after going 1-11 as a starter while throwing for 3,366 yards and 23 TDs in place of Kyler Murray last year. GM Monti Ossenfort declined to name a starter, saying the team will "see how that room works by the time we get to August," with Gardner Minshew also in the mix. Per ESPN, Arizona has also hosted top QB prospect Ty Simpson on a top-30 visit. Fantasy managers banking on Brissett to support Trey McBride and Marvin Harrison Jr. should monitor the QB room closely.

Dolphins Lock Down De'Von Achane, Eye Extension -- Dolphins GM Jon-Eric Sullivan said RB De'Von Achane "is not available for trade" and that extension talks are "trending in the right direction," per @TomPelissero. Achane, absent from the start of voluntary workouts, was spotted at the team facility as a sign of good faith while talks continue, @AdamSchefter reported. The 24-year-old rushed for a career-high 1,350 yards and eight TDs in 2025 and earned his first Pro Bowl nod. Per the Miami Herald's Omar Kelly, Achane could aim to top James Cook's four-year, $48M deal. Miami wants a deal done before Jahmyr Gibbs and Bijan Robinson sign their extensions. Achane remains a locked-in fantasy RB1 despite the rebuild around him.

Packers Clearing Path for Matthew Golden in Year 2 -- Green Bay is clearing the runway for second-year WR Matthew Golden after trading Dontayvion Wicks to the Eagles and letting Romeo Doubs sign with the Patriots, per ESPN's Rob Demovsky. The Packers received a 2026 fifth and 2027 sixth for Wicks. Despite a quiet rookie year (29 catches, 361 yards, no regular-season TDs in 14 games while battling shoulder and wrist injuries), GM Brian Gutekunst said Golden's "ceiling is very, very high." Coach Matt LaFleur acknowledged "some guys were upset about roles last year" as the offense fell from 5th to 15th in total yards. Christian Watson (NFL-best 17.5 YPC in Weeks 8-18 post-ACL) and Jayden Reed remain in the picture, but Golden is a clear breakout target in dynasty and best ball formats.

Titans Pick Up Peter Skoronski's Fifth-Year Option -- The Titans plan to exercise LG Peter Skoronski's fifth-year option, setting up a $19.07M salary in 2027 for the 2023 No. 11 overall pick, per @JFowlerESPN. Skoronski was the only Titans offensive player to play every snap in 2025 and finished as PFF's fifth-ranked guard, with the second-highest pass-blocking grade (84.5) in the league while protecting rookie Cam Ward, who took a league-high 55 sacks. GM Mike Borgonzi has publicly identified Skoronski as an extension candidate, which would be historically notable as the Titans have never authorized a post-Year 3 extension for a first-round pick.

Cardinals Pick Up Paris Johnson Jr.'s Fifth-Year Option -- The Cardinals are exercising LT Paris Johnson Jr.'s fifth-year option worth just over $19 million for the 2027 season, per @MikeGarafolo. The 2023 sixth-overall pick is now fully guaranteed for 2027, with a long-term deal expected to follow — Spotrac pegs his market value at $22 million annually. Johnson played 17 games as a rookie but dropped to 14 in 2024 and a career-low 12 last season due to a knee injury, with Arizona's pressure rates climbing in his absence. Free agent signing Elijah Wilkinson is currently projected as the starting right tackle, per SI.

Steelers Still Waiting on Rodgers as QB Visits Wrap -- Per @AdamSchefter, the Steelers are still waiting on an answer from Aaron Rodgers about whether he'll play this season, with the draft next week in Pittsburgh. In the meantime, the team has hosted most of the draft's top QB prospects on visits, with former Penn State QB Drew Allar the latest to stop in, per @TomPelissero.

Ty Simpson to Cardinals Feels "Inevitable" -- Alabama QB Ty Simpson is visiting the Arizona Cardinals on the final day prospects are allowed to make pre-draft 30 visits, per @FieldYates. @RapSheet says the pairing "feels inevitable," and @JFowlerESPN adds that in league circles, Simpson has been linked to Arizona more than any other team.

Drew Allar Makes Rounds With Steelers, Cardinals -- Former Penn State QB Drew Allar visited both the Cardinals and Steelers this week, per @TomPelissero. @JFowlerESPN reports Allar is polarizing but has upside, with some in the league believing he has a fixable footwork issue and will need the right system in a big way.

Jordyn Tyson's Stock Surging, Giants Circling -- Twenty NFL teams attended Jordyn Tyson's workout at Arizona State, per @MikeGarafolo, and Giants GM Joe Schoen flew to Arizona to attend and dined with Tyson the night before, sources told Garafolo and @RapSheet. @PSchrags suggests 5th overall may be a reach but wonders aloud about 10th after the Dexter Lawrence pick. Over on r/dynastyff, one commenter called Tyson "the best receiver in the class."

Denzel Boston Wraps Visits With Dolphins, Commanders, Texans -- Per @RapSheet, Washington WR Denzel Boston, a likely first-rounder, is on his final Top 30 visit with the Dolphins, having also met with the Commanders and Texans this week.

K.C. Concepcion Closes Busy Pre-Draft Tour With Chargers, 49ers -- Texas A&M wideout K.C. Concepcion finished a busy pre-draft process with visits to the Chargers and 49ers this week, per @JFowlerESPN, after earlier meetings with the Giants, Dolphins, Bills, Patriots, Titans, Raiders, Browns and Panthers. The first-round candidate is generating dynasty buzz, with one r/dynastyff poster floating the "plot twist" scenario of Concepcion landing with the Dolphins atop a thin depth chart.

Omar Cooper Jr. Visiting 49ers -- Former Indiana WR Omar Cooper Jr. is visiting the 49ers, who own the No. 27 pick, per @TomPelissero.

Kadyn Proctor Rounds Out Tackle Tour With 49ers -- Per @RapSheet, Alabama OT Kadyn Proctor, one of the draft's top tackles, most recently visited the 49ers on a Top 30 visit after also spending time with the Chiefs, Browns, Lions, Dolphins, Eagles and Cardinals, among others.

Caleb Lomu a Possible 49ers Trade-Up Target -- Utah OL Caleb Lomu spent the night with the 49ers (27th) on a Top 30 visit as San Francisco continues to do work on the top offensive linemen, per @RapSheet, who imagines Lomu could be a trade-up target. Lomu has also met with the Rams, Panthers, Texans, Bears, Lions, Browns, Chiefs, Eagles and Dolphins.

Monroe Freeling Rising Into Top 15 -- There's a lot of buzz lately for Georgia OT Monroe Freeling as a riser into the top 15, per @MikeGarafolo, with the Browns (6), Chiefs (9), Dolphins (11) and Rams (13) among the teams that have spent extended time with him via visits, workouts and other meetings.

Tommy Castellanos Training at QB and Slot WR -- Former Florida State QB Tommy Castellanos has drawn pre-draft interest as both a quarterback and a slot receiver, per @TomPelissero. Castellanos, who also played at UCF and BC, did WR drills at the end of his pro day and is training at both positions.

🟢 Nick Singleton -- The Penn State running back, who broke the fifth metatarsal in his right foot at the Senior Bowl, has been medically cleared and resumed running, per @AdamSchefter. Singleton projects as a mid-round pick in next week's draft.

🟢 Cam Ward -- Last year's No. 1 overall pick is on schedule in his rehab from a January throwing-shoulder injury and could take part in the Titans' June minicamp, per ESPN.

🟢 Josh Cameron -- The Baylor receiver who suffered a calf strain at the Combine is on track to be fully healthy by rookie minicamp, per @RapSheet. The All-American returner recently took a Top 30 visit with the Falcons and has met with 15-plus teams.

🟢 Michael Penix Jr. -- Penix has a chance to be ready for the start of the 2026 season as he recovers from a torn ACL suffered in Week 11 of 2025.

🔴 Quinshon Judkins -- Judkins is expected to be available for the start of training camp as he recovers from a dislocated ankle and fractured fibula suffered in Week 16 of 2025.

🔴 George Kittle -- Kittle is approximately eight months removed from a postseason Achilles tear, threatening his availability for the start of the 2026 season.

🔴 Eric McAlister -- McAlister suffered a Jones fracture in his foot during his pro day, putting his availability for the early part of his rookie season in question.

🔴 Patrick Mahomes -- Mahomes's status for the start of the 2026 season is currently unclear as he recovers from a torn ACL and LCL suffered last December.

🔴 Braelon Allen -- Allen is expected to be fully healthy for the start of the 2026 season after suffering a season-ending torn MCL in Week 4 of 2025.

[Should you draft Christian McCaffrey in the first round in 2026 given hints of a reduced workload?] Managers in the r/fantasyfootball community were largely hesitant to invest a premium pick in Christian McCaffrey given workload concerns. The consensus view: avoid him in the top 5, but he's fair game at the back end of the first round, especially in PPR. Several posters pointed out that last year's "reduced workload" plan also got thrown out once injuries piled up around him, and that CMC ended up carrying the offense anyway. Others noted that safer WR and RB options exist in that range with lower ceilings but far more stable floors. A handful said they'd happily scoop him at the 10–12 turn in a 1QB league. The top-rated response was a tongue-in-cheek flowchart from u/bnwtwg: draft him and he gets hurt; fade him and he posts a historic season for someone else.

[If you were the GM of the Dolphins, would you extend Achane or trade him?] The r/fantasyfootball community was split on what Miami should do with De'Von Achane. The trade-him camp pointed to the roughly $175 million in dead cap and argued Miami needs every pick it can get for a Patriots-style rebuild, with an early QB pick likely coming next year. The extend-him camp noted Miami isn't paying many other big contracts, and Achane would take up less than 10% of a ~$270M cap — plus he's the only real offensive weapon and a reason for fans to show up. Most landed somewhere in the middle: extend by default, but seriously entertain a trade if the draft capital is overwhelming. One commenter joked that as an actual GM, you just do whatever ownership tells you.

[6 Aging Players to Trade in Dynasty] The r/fantasyfootball community largely pushed back on several of the article's sell candidates. Multiple commenters argued the window to move Christian McCaffrey is already closed — you might as well ride him out. There was also broad agreement that nobody is paying meaningful value for Mark Andrews or Travis Kelce at this point. DJ Moore drew the strongest agreement as a legitimate sell-high. Saquon Barkley was the most contested name: u/realteamme argued he was massively overvalued heading into last year (a perfect sell window) but is now approaching undervalued territory after his recent production. Overall, the thread felt more like a "too late on most of these" response than an endorsement of the list.

[Panthers GM Dan Morgan: There's no rule against taking a WR in first round three straight years] Panthers GM Dan Morgan's quote about potentially drafting a wide receiver in round one for a third consecutive year lit up the r/dynastyff community. Commenters noted historical precedent (the Lions and Packers were both cited as teams that have leaned heavily into early-round WRs) and several were genuinely supportive of the strategy given the current state of Carolina's receiver room. The prevailing take: Xavier Legette has been a disappointment, Tetairoa McMillan is legit but desperately needs help across from him, and Jalen Coker is a fine piece but not enough on his own. Basically, the room still needs another weapon. The original poster, u/MITBryceYoung, joked about being checked on in four hours as a fan bracing for the news.

[Jadarian Price has a receiving problem beyond just Jeremiyah Love] Analyst CJ Freel's deep dive on the rookie RB class sparked an engaged discussion in the r/dynastyff community. Several commenters agreed that Jadarian Price's profile raises real concerns, with one comparing him to Roschon Johnson. The broader takeaway was that after Jeremiyah Love, no RB in this class feels worth a 1st or 2nd-round rookie pick — the RB2 slot will be dictated by landing spot and opportunity, with only a short-term window of value. Others pushed back on Jonah Coleman being ranked as RB2, citing projections of 4th/5th round NFL draft capital. One commenter (u/mikelmuyin) raised an interesting historical note that very few highly-ranked NFL RBs failed to lead their college team in touches — only James Cook and Josh Jacobs fit that mold.

[Is Marvin Harrison Jr really the bust people are making him out to be?] The r/dynastyff community was mixed but leaned toward "don't panic" on Marvin Harrison Jr. Several posters defended him, noting he genuinely dominated in college (not just a name hype pick) and that his efficiency metrics actually topped Michael Wilson's despite a rough Cardinals passing environment — particularly with Brissett airing it out 50+ times at the end of the year. Others were more frustrated, including one manager who traded up for him and admitted he's not even a weekly starter anymore. The consensus landed somewhere in the middle: calling him a bust is dramatic, but his value is at a low point, so holding is better than selling for pennies. One commenter cheekily predicted a year-3 bust and year-4 breakout, mirroring his father's career arc.

[What the data says about Tyler Warren's fantasy upside in 2026 and beyond] A data-driven breakdown of Tyler Warren got an enthusiastic reception in the r/fantasyfootball community. Multiple managers framed him as a ride-or-die pick — a TE5-range ADP with legitimate TE1 upside, cheaper than the established studs (Brock Bowers, Trey McBride) and the hype tier (Colston Loveland, Tucker Kraft). Commenter u/Illustrious-Bid-696 pushed back on typical TE age concerns, arguing that when a rookie flashes this kind of profile you just buy it. Others wrestled with tough keeper calls (Warren vs. Loveland) and trade offers involving Warren packages for McBride. One commenter continued to preach the late-round TE strategy, pointing to Jake Ferguson and Isaiah Likely as better values at their cost.

[What the data says about Harold Fannin's fantasy upside in 2026 and beyond] The companion piece on Harold Fannin found a receptive audience in the r/fantasyfootball community. The data suggested Fannin is very likely to finish as at least a TE1, with a 50/50 chance at top-5 and a real shot at top-3 — which commenters said largely matches the growing consensus. Multiple managers bragged about grabbing him in rookie drafts (one at 3.04 in a 12-teamer). Discussion turned to Cleveland's offensive environment: if the Browns can push the ball downfield more to WRs, that likely means more snaps and more TD opportunities overall. The original poster flagged QB play as the biggest concern, asking whether Fannin is close to QB-proof given Watson's return — a question the thread didn't fully resolve.

[Is anyone actually buying the Jonathan Brooks comeback this year?] The r/fantasyfootball community was overwhelmingly skeptical on Jonathan Brooks. Most commenters noted the multiple catastrophic knee injuries and the extended time away from the field, with several worried another injury is the most likely outcome. Even the Panthers fans in the thread conceded they wouldn't use a fantasy roster spot on him. One commenter compared his situation to JK Dobbins but worse, since Brooks never really got a chance to establish himself. Dynasty holders said they'd keep him for free but wouldn't move him for less than a 1st — which no sensible manager is offering. The one silver lining: redraft managers with IR spots saw him as a low-cost dart throw better than most waiver options.

[Bhayshul Tuten to See a "Major Hike" in Role and Opportunities [Shipley]] A Shipley report projecting an expanded role for Bhayshul Tuten drew a mostly bemused response from the r/dynastyff community. Several commenters framed the piece as "a journalist thinks" rather than hard news, and called it a "not news" item that Tuten holders would nonetheless welcome. The practical dynasty question — raised by u/Healthy_Hippo_915 — was whether this is a sell-high window or a hold-and-wait spot, and the thread didn't reach a clean answer. One commenter pointed to LeQuint Allen Jr as the name to monitor in the same backfield conversation. Overall vibe: cautiously optimistic for Tuten managers, but nobody was treating this as confirmation to go all-in.
