Brown can benefit from potential offensive changes

Reiss bases his conclusion on Jennings’ work with the first-unit punt protection team. Jennings, 25, rushed 23 times for 73 yards and one touchdown, and turned his lone target into a nine-yard gain last year. Jennings is a name to know for waiver wire purposes, in case RBs Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson miss time. Aside from that, Jennings will not be scoring fantasy points on the punt squad.

The article’s phrasing is slightly ambiguous regarding the third-down role. Wilson writes that the Texans “envision a solid workload for Marks that includes third-down pass-catching duties and carries along with a new role on kickoff returns.” Texans RB coach and assistant head coach Danny Barrett said Marks’ “role is going to pick up some third downs, special teams,” and Marks adds that OC Nick Caley has him running “all types of routes.” Marks will be involved on third down, but we do not yet know if he has won the job outright from new starting RB David Montgomery. Teams sometimes split up third-down and the two-minute drill gigs, and Wilson did not address the latter job. Barrett said Marks’ confidence is at an all-time high right now, and Wilson’s piece repeatedly compliments Marks’ pass-protection abilities, which further reinforces Marks’ potential passing game involvement. If Marks can secure the lead third-down role, and potentially the two-minute drill role, he may be able to generate PPR RB2 scam/FLEX stat lines this season. Stay tuned.

Skattebo was already taking 11-on-11 reps before the end of the early offseason and did a backflip at Brian Burns’ celebrity softball game, while ESPN’s Jordan Raanan believes he will be a full participant when training camp begins. Skattebo’s contact-heavy style opens up some fantasy football questions about his longevity, especially given his injury last year, but he played to a low-end RB1 ranking most weeks under Brian Daboll after taking over the lead role. Currently heading off the board towards the back of the top 50 picks by ADP and bolstered by his head coach’s confidence, it sure seems like the Giants run game is trending towards being Skattebo-forward again this year.

“If McDaniel can build a top-five offense, Hampton will be an essential part in that process,” Popper writes while noting that he “has a chance to be one of the best running backs in the league. That is not hyperbole.” It seems some of you have already caught on as Hampton is being drafted ahead of backs like Saquon Barkley, Kenneth Walker, and Derrick Henry as a top 10 RB by ADP. Assuming he can avoid the injuries that derailed his rookie season, Hampton has a chance to finish as one of the best backs in fantasy football this season.

We’ve had blurbs about a bounceback season for McConkey, but given how McConkey was behind Keenan Allen in targets last year and only 18 targets ahead of Quentin Johnston, this quote jumped off the page. McConkey managed 884 yards in the final 10 games of his rookie season, along with 197 more yards in the playoffs — the offense may be too deep to get him that level of production again, but he’s certainly shown he’s capable of great things as the No. 1 option. The offseason hype has already priced him right around WR20, so fantasy managers are already expecting a big year from McConkey despite last year’s dud.

“Time will tell,” Tuipulotu said when asked about contract negotiations. Popper writes that the Chargers and Tuipulotu are in active contract extensions. The star EDGE had a career-best 13 sacks in 2025 and it would behoove the Chargers to lock him up before he hits free agency after the season.

While Jones did “a bit more” at OTAs and was at least present, he himself has said he doesn’t have a timeline to return, and the Steelers declined his fifth-year option and drafted Max Iheanachor in the first round while moving Troy Fautanu to left tackle. It doesn’t sound like there’s any guarantee that Jones suits up this season from either his words or the Steelers’ actions.

In a mailbag column, Alexander was asked specifically if the Texans had any interest in adding Deebo Samuel. Alexander writes that the Texans like their current receiver group and will give them every opportunity to show what they’ve got in training camp. Samuel has had an extremely quiet free agency compared even to other veterans like Stefon Diggs and Keenan Allen, and it’s puzzling from the outside because Samuel was still putting up solid YAC numbers last year and didn’t appear to have lost a step. He’s still a threat to pop back on to the fantasy radar if he lands in a good situation.

“I don’t think that we have any individuals or personalities in our offense that are saying, ‘Hey, I need this, I need that,’” Sutton told The Athletic’s Nick Kosmider. “I think we have a bunch of guys that are willing to put their pride aside and say, ‘What do I need to do for this team to be successful?’” Kosmider guesses that the Broncos won’t have two 1,000-yard receivers this year as they spread the ball around. Sutton is coming off the board around the WR35 mark, surrounded by rookies and other players with real usage or injury questions. This is a great quote for Broncos fans, but fantasy managers would probably prefer a squeakier wheel from Sutton. He may fade into the WR4 picture if the Broncos decide to feature new additional Jaylen Waddle.

“I think we’ll see Harvey make a big jump in Year 2, even as he elbows for room in a more crowded backfield,” Kosmider writes. Harvey is definitely one of the more interesting bets on the board — his ADP is slightly ahead of backfield mate J.K. Dobbins, but well outside of the top 50 overall. It’s worth noting that Harvey did crush as a receiver already last year as he posted a 47/356/5 line, so we already know he can be a high-efficiency winner in this offense. Still, with Jonah Coleman potentially elbowing his way into the third-down mix and Dobbins back, Harvey does have some low-floor results in his range of outcomes.
