Award-Winning Fantasy Football Advice

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport confirmed Thursday what his colleague Cameron Wolfe reported back in February: that the Jaguars plan to play Travis Hunter full time at CB and part-time at receiver this coming season. The team also plans to ease him through offseason workouts with the goal of getting Hunter back to full strength by training camp. Hunter injured the LCL in his right knee in Week 7 and missed the rest of the season.

Dolphins GM Jon-Eric Sullivan singled out TE Greg Dulcich as a player he's excited about taking a leap in 2026. "I thought he had a really good back end of the season, and I want to see if he can build on that," Sullivan said on Kevin Clark's This is Football. "That’s why we brought him back."

The Texans have picked up the fifth-year club option on QB C.J. Stroud, keeping him signed through the 2027 season, per beat writer Aaron Wilson. Stroud will now make $25.9 million fully guaranteed in 2027. Houston also picked up the fifth-year option on DE Will Anderson, who was selected immediately after Stroud in the 2023 NFL Draft.

The 49ers might be preparing to hand a high-value job to a player with little NFL experience. According to The Athletic's Matt Barrows, second-year RB Jordan James "appears to be the frontrunner to be the top backup this season." San Francisco drafted James in the fifth round last year, but an injury-plagued summer kept him from competing for a regular-season roster spot. James didn't touch the ball until the playoff loss to Seattle (six carries and one catch at the end of a blowout).

Titans HC Robert Saleh briefly updated the status of QB Cam Ward. "I am not going to put a timetable on anything, but he is progressing really well." Ward avoided surgery for a Week 18 AC joint sprain in his right shoulder.

Tennessee WR Chris Brazzell II appears on track for Day 2 draft capital. But, a source with access to team insights informed Draft Sharks about potential character concerns that could cause a draft-day fall. “I was told he is the offensive version of James Pearce.” Brazzell wowed at the Combine at 6’4, 198 pounds running a 4.37 40, but fantasy managers should be aware of off-field concerns.

Dolphins GM Jon-Eric Sullivan said the team plans to build the offense around newly signed QB Malik Willis, according to ESPN’s Marcel Louis-Jacques. RB De’Von Achane will remain a foundational piece, but Sullivan labeled Willis “an ascending player.”

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that Chiefs' WR Rashee Rice "has not engaged in conduct that violates the personal conduct policy" and will not face discipline "at this time." The league investigated assault allegations from Rice’s ex-girlfriend spanning an 18-month stretch from 2023 to 2025, but closed the case without action. Rice is now on track to open the season as Kansas City’s No. 1 WR in Week 1.

New Browns HC Todd Monken sounds excited about second-year TE Harold Fannin Jr., and for good reason. The third-round pick led Cleveland in targets, catches, receiving yards, and TD catches as a rookie. He looks like one of the team's few offensive bright spots at the moment. And Monken likens Fannin to a star TE he coached in college.
