Marquise Brown

KC Wide Receiver #5

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Hollywood Brown caught 2-of-4 targets for 13 yards in the Chiefs’ Week 18 loss against the Raiders.

Following a 10-catch, 99-yard performance in Week 1 against the Chargers, Brown was a non-factor in the pass-heavy Kansas City offense this season, totaling 536 yards and four touchdowns over 16 games. As the third or fourth option in the passing offense, Brown was treated as a rotational player even when the Chiefs struggled with wideout absences. After a highly disappointing two-year run with KC, Brown will likely play elsewhere in 2026. He’ll be a free agent this offseason.

T.J. Hockenson

MIN Tight End #87

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Vikings restructured the contract of TE T.J. Hockenson.

The move saves $5 million against the cap for the Vikings in 2026, a franchise that is now scrambling to get under the salary cap following numerous high profile moves made the year prior. Hockenson is coming off the worst statistical season of his career following a devastating knee injury suffered in 2024. Now two years removed from the injury and playing with something to prove, the fantasy needle could be pointing up should he find more consistent quarterback play moving forward.

TE Smith can regain fantasy value with right team

March 5, 2026 04:03 PM

No longer part of an "ugly" fantasy situation with the Steelers, Denny Carter lays out why tight end Jonnu Smith could regain his fantasy "viability" with the right offense in 2026.

Tyler Huntley

BAL Quarterback #5

Ravens signed QB Tyler Huntley to a two-year, $11 million contract.

Huntley has made 11 starts in five seasons with the Ravens, also starting five games for the Dolphins in 2024. He brings a level of familiarity with the system and allows the team added consistency should Lamar Jackson go down with injury due to his similar skill set, making the signing a no-brainer for both sides. A career 13-to-10 touchdown-to-interception ratio is less than sparkling, but his dual-threat abilities bring both upside and intrigue should he be forced into action.

Eddy Pineiro

SF Kicker #18

49ers signed K Eddy Pineiro to a four-year, $17 million extension.

The deal includes $10 million in guaranteed money and ties Pineiro to San Francisco through the 2029 season. Kicking on a one-year deal in 2025, Pineiro converted all 22 attempts from inside 50 yards, also converting 6-of-7 attempts of 50 yards or more. His 96.6% conversion rate on 29 field goal attempts led the league, bringing stability to a position that long plagued the 49ers.

Colby Wooden

IND Defensive Lineman

Colts traded LB Zaire Franklin to the Packers for DL Colby Wooden.

It’s a pure player-for-player swap as the Packers further bolster the interior of their second level with Franklin, dealing the former fourth-round defensive tackle Colby Wooden in the deal. Franklin led the league in tackles in 2024 (173) and played the entirety of his eight-year NFL career in Indianapolis prior to the trade, giving the Packers a top tier linebacker to pair with Edgerrin Cooper with Quay Walker due to become a free agent Monday.

Tyler Badie

DEN Running Back #28

Broncos signed RB Tyler Badie to a $1.075 million contract.

The Broncos previously tendered exclusive rights free agent Tyler Badie, who now signs his $1.075 million deal with the team. Badie offers change of pace potential in addition to a typically robust role on special teams but is unlikely to return consistent fantasy utility without multiple injuries ahead of him on the depth chart.

James Winchester

KC Long Snapper #41

Chiefs re-signed LS James Winchester to a one-year, $1.75 million contract.

The contract is fully guaranteed and keeps Winchester as the highest-paid long snapper in the league. Winchester enters his 12th NFL season having played the entirety of his career in Kansas City.

Jordan Davis

PHI Defensive Tackle #90

Eagles signed DT Jordan Davis to a three-year, $78 million extension.

The deal includes a whopping $65 million in guaranteed money. Davis is now tied to the Eagles through the 2029 season after becoming the highest-paid nose tackle in NFL history with the extension. The former No. 13 overall pick in 2022 notched the second most solo tackles in 2025 amongst defensive linemen and also contributed five sacks.

Connor McGovern

BUF Guard #66

Bills re-signed G/C Connor McGovern to a four-year, $52 million contract.

McGovern has been a mainstay on the interior offensive line for the Bills for the previous three seasons, with the new contract tying him to the franchise through the 2029 season. Long hailed as one of the top pass blocking centers in the league, McGovern will continue to provide protection for 2024’s MVP in Josh Allen.

Denzel Ward

CLE Cornerback #21

Browns restructured the contract of CB Denzel Ward, saving $2 million against the cap in 2026.

The franchise converted a $2.5 million roster bonus into a signing bonus, saving $2 million against the cap in 2026 while adding $500,000 to his cap hit for each subsequent season. This comes a day after the Browns restructured the contract of quarterback Deshaun Watson. The rebuilding Browns remain unlikely to make major splashes in free agency but at least these moves give them options in the coming months.

Brandon Aubrey

DAL Kicker #17

Cowboys tendered restricted free agent K Brandon Aubrey at the second-round level.

Last month, it was reported that the Cowboys offered Aubrey a deal with an average salary under $7 million while the 30-year-old kicker was looking for nearly $10 million per year. Now the Cowboys have placed the second-round, $5.76 million tender on Aubrey, according to a report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter. He’s free to sign an offer sheet with another team, which would give the Cowboys the choice to either match the contract or accept a second-round pick. Stay tuned.
