  • MIN Wide Receiver #15

    The deal includes an $8 million base salary. Jennings can make an extra $5 million via incentives. This will be Jennings’ first time playing for a team other than the 49ers, who drafted him in the 2020 NFL Draft’s seventh round. Jennings, 28, caught 55 passes for 643 yards and a career-high nine touchdowns last year. He should start in three-wide receiver sets alongside Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison. Jefferson will rarely leave the field, but one wonders if Jennings (6'3/212) might be able to steal snaps from Addison (5'11/175) in two-wide receiver sets, in part due to Jennings’ run-blocking ability. Addison, 24, is the more talented receiver, so we expect him to remain the No. 2 target earner, but this dynamic is worth keeping an eye on in training camp. For now, Jennings can be viewed as a WR4/FLEX, while Jefferson sits in the WR1 tier and Addison in the WR2/3 range.
  • ATL Wide Receiver
    Per Over The Cap, the contract is worth $7.09 million. Forecasting Branch’s year one fantasy relevance is difficult. He stands just 5'9/177 and generated much of his receiving production in the screen game last year. That said, he is a very talented player with the ball in his hands and the Falcons’ wide receiver corps thins out quickly behind No. 1 WR Drake London. Veterans WRs Jahan Dotson and Olamide Zaccheaus are penciled in as the Nos. 2 and 3 players in his position group. Unseating one, or both, is possible.
  • NYJ Tight End
    Sadiq, 21, posted a 52/568/8 receiving line in his third and final season at Oregon before clocking a record-setting 4.39-second 40 at the NFL Scouting Combine. He should operate as the Jets’ primary receiving tight end in year one, while second-year TE Mason Taylor handles blocking duties. It could be tough for Sadiq to produce as a fantasy TE1 as a rookie if he is limited to playing in 12 personnel, but training camp reports should clarify his expected usage. Sadiq’s $22.3 million contract is fully guaranteed.
  • FA Wide Receiver #82
    Baccellia’s release comes with a failed physical designation. He suffered a neck injury in Week 15 last year and was taken off the field on a stretcher. Hopefully, he can successfully rehab the injury and return to the NFL at some point.
  • DEN Tight End
    Joly earned first-team All-ACC honors while leading NC State with 49 receptions and seven receiving touchdowns last year. It will be tough for him to earn snaps in year one, with veteran TE Evan Engram in-house, but Joly could compete for a starting role in the long run.
  • NYG Wide Receiver
    Giants GM Joe Schoen recently said Fields will be the “power forward” in the team’s wide receiver corps, jumping for contested catches and blocking on the perimeter. Fields has a chance to play in year one, with speedster WR Darius Slayton coming off another sub-600-yard season. Fields warrants final-round consideration in best ball formats. Expectations must be tempered.
  • WAS Quarterback #4
    Heinicke most recently spent time on the Chargers’ roster, but was released in August 2025. He logged 29 starts in his career, 24 of which occurred during his time with the Commanders from 2020-22. Over the course of his career, Heinicke threw for 6,663 yards, 39 touchdowns and 28 interceptions, and rushed for 608 yards and three touchdowns. He entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent with the Vikings, and spent time with the Patriots, Texans, Panthers and Falcons as well.
  • KC Wide Receiver #1
    Worthy suffered a fully torn labrum after colliding with TE Travis Kelce in Week 1 last year. The injury sidelined him until Week 4, and he never once cleared 85 yards in a single game. Worthy entered the season with high expectations after posting an 8/157/2 receiving line in the Chiefs’ Super Bowl LIX loss to the Eagles in his 2024 rookie season. Per The Athletic’s Jesse Newell, the Chiefs “limited Worthy’s routes a year ago to protect him” last year, but Reid believes that Worthy, now healthy, can resume running a full route tree this season. This should raise our expectations for Worthy’s fantasy football outlook as well. Worthy finished as the PPR WR33 in 2024 before plummeting to the PPR WR59 in 2025. Perhaps a WR3 finish or better is possible this season. Hopefully, the positive reports continue this summer.
  • KC Wide Receiver #4
    Rice is entering the final year of his rookie contract. Newell notes that the Chiefs “love [Rice] on the field even if he’s been unreliable off of it.” Star players often receive extensions even if off-field concerns are present, but Rice reportedly “needs to prove he can go a calendar year without ending up in negative offseason headlines.” Newell believes that if Rice can stay in headlines, purely due to his on-field performance, “it’s at least possible” that the Chiefs will talk themselves into an extension. Rice is the Chiefs’ clear-cut WR1 and can be treated accordingly in fantasy, as long as he shows up as his best self this summer and season. Doing so could earn him a lucrative, multi-year extension with the team that drafted him in the second round in 2023.
  • ARI Quarterback #15
    Beck underwent surgery to repair the UCL in his right elbow in December 2024. His recent comments come after a 2025 season at Miami in which he averaged just a 4.8-yard aDOT. With veteran QB Jacoby Brissett hoping for a new contract, Beck could be afforded opportunities to back up his comments in training camp this summer. At best, Beck’s pocket passing style lends itself to a QB2 fantasy valuation, but he might be able to manage games in a fantasy-friendly manner for his pass catchers. That said, Cardinals head coach Mike LaFleur recently said, “it won’t be the worst thing for him” if Beck ends up sitting for part or all of his rookie season.
