Listeners, the fantasy football landscape has shifted in the last few days with key contract moves, roster changes, and injury updates that could shake up your rankings heading into 2026.
The Houston Texans claimed EDGE Ali Gaye off waivers from the Titans, per FantasyPros and Aaron Wilson on Twitter. Gaye eyes a depth role on the defensive line, but this is more IDP news than offensive fantasy gold.
David Njoku is visiting the Chargers on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports via RotoWire. Could this signal a move that impacts tight end depth charts?
Austin Ekeler, cleared from his Achilles issue, plans to play in 2026, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston notes on RotoWire. The veteran RB is back in the mix, boosting his value for leagues that prize durability.
The Panthers exercised the fifth-year option on Bryce Young's rookie deal, Darin Gantt reports on the team's site via RotoWire. Young stays locked in through 2027, stabilizing Carolina's QB outlook.
Baltimore signed undrafted free agent QB Diego Pavia to a three-year deal after a planned tryout, Adam Schefter of ESPN confirms on RotoWire and Draft Sharks. He's a long-shot camp arm, unlikely to crack fantasy radars soon.
Panthers RB Chuba Brooks is fully cleared from knee surgery for offseason work, Joe Person of The Athletic says on RotoWire. Expect him to climb RB rankings if he reclaims his role.
The Vikings picked up Jordan Addison's fifth-year option, securing him through 2027 at $18 million guaranteed, per Draft Sharks and RotoWire. This locks in the WR2 as a top-20 fantasy asset amid target competition.
Minnesota also activated Addison's option on Monday, as noted across sources. Meanwhile, the Colts declined Anthony Richardson's fifth-year option due to eye issues, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan reports on RotoWire—risky for drafters.
Bills GM Brandon Beane hit reset on WR Keon Coleman, believing his best is ahead in 2026, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN says on RotoWire. Coleman rises in rookie WR hype.
Miami's Tyreek Washington faces target battles after three rookie WRs joined, Julio Vasquez of USA Today notes on RotoWire. Speedster's rankings may dip.
Chargers exercised Quentin Johnston's fifth-year option through 2027 at $18 million guaranteed, Draft Sharks reports. Solidifies him as a WR3 with upside.
Jaguars' new RB Chris Rodriguez could lead in carries for 2025 per beat writer John Shipley on Draft Sharks—watch for 2026 carryover.
Chiefs plan caution with Patrick Mahomes until camp, TheHuddle notes, keeping him a safe low-end QB1.
These moves mean prioritize Addison, Johnston, and Ekeler in rankings; fade Washington and monitor Njoku's visit.
