Fantasy football news and opinion from FFToday.com https://www.fftoday.com/rss/news.xml Fantasy Football Copyright 2019 FFToday.com Fri, 8 May 2026 20:24:00 GMT Fri, 8 May 2026 20:24:00 GMT webmaster@fftoday.com (Mike Krueger) https://www.fftoday.com/creative/icn_fftoday_88_31.jpg https://www.fftoday.com/rss/news.xml 88 31 $29 million in guarantees

New York Jets running back Breece Hall, given the franchise tag on March 3, agreed to a three-year, $45.75 million contract Friday, his agent told ESPN on Friday. The contract includes $29 million in guarantees, according to agent Nicole Lynn of Klutch Sports. (ESPN)

FF Today's Take: Hall was placed on the franchise tag back in early March, but the two sides were able to hammer out a longer deal. He was rumored to be on the trading block has season but instead will stick the team as the search for a viable long-term answer at quarterback. Hall (25) has four seasons under his belt and will now be tied to the Jets through the 2028 season.]]> https://www.fftoday.com/news/index.php?Item=16897 Fri, 8 May 2026 20:24:00 GMT https://www.fftoday.com/news/index.php?Item=16897 Replaces Jalen Nailor who signed with the Raiders

New Vikings WR Jauan Jennings’ one-year deal is worth $8 million, with a chance to make up to $13M with incentives, per source. Jennings fills the role of Jalen Nailor, who left in free agency, in a WR group with superstar Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison. (Tom Pelissero on X)

FF Today's Take: Jennings was one of the top wideouts still available on the free agent market and serves a need for Minnesota who lost Nailor to the Raiders this off-season. This isn't the best move for his fantasy value as Justin Jefferson will command at least 140 targets and Jordan Addison has solidified himself as a strong No.2 option. Jennings can be penciled in as the Vikings No.3 option in the passing game but isn't likely to see the volume necessary to be a weekly trustworthy fantasy asset.]]> https://www.fftoday.com/news/index.php?Item=16896 Fri, 8 May 2026 01:19:00 GMT https://www.fftoday.com/news/index.php?Item=16896 Tag is worth $27.3 million for the 2026 season

George Pickens has signed the franchise tag, according to a source. (Todd Archer on X)

FF Today's Take: The Cowboys don't seem interested in working out a long-term deal right now with Pickens and don't want to trade the star receiver either. It's likely we'll see Pickens miss a portion of minicamp but the discourse will heat up if he starts to miss time at training camp in July.]]> https://www.fftoday.com/news/index.php?Item=16895 Wed, 29 Apr 2026 21:36:00 GMT https://www.fftoday.com/news/index.php?Item=16895 $20 million guaranteed

Wide receiver Jayden Reed and the Packers now have agreed to a three-year contract extension worth $50.25 million in new money, including $20 million guaranteed, per agents Drew Rosenhaus and Ian Grutman. (Adam Schefter on X)

FF Today's Take: The Packers traded away Dontayvion Wicks to the Eagles this off-season and are moving forward with Reed, Christian Watson and Matthew Golden as their top three wideouts in 2026. The Packers tend to use five wide receivers on gameday's so even though the WR room looks enticing, we might not get the snap share's we want from the top three.]]> https://www.fftoday.com/news/index.php?Item=16894 Fri, 24 Apr 2026 21:11:00 GMT https://www.fftoday.com/news/index.php?Item=16894 Clean up procedure will keep him out until training camp

Alec Pierce won’t participate in the Colts’ offseason workout program, which began Monday, including the organized team activities (OTAs) in late May and June. “It’ll be training camp,’’ Ballard said of Pierce’s return. “It’s a three-month recovery.’’ (Fox59)

FF Today's Take: Pierce played through ankle pain in 2025 and finally decided to have a procedure done heading into 2026. Pierce signed a new four-year deal in March and is scheduled to be the team's top wideout this season. Pierce is coming if his best fantasy season but 47 receptions is his high-water mark for his four-year career. We'll see if he can recast himself as something more than a deep threat.]]> https://www.fftoday.com/news/index.php?Item=16893 Mon, 20 Apr 2026 19:11:00 GMT https://www.fftoday.com/news/index.php?Item=16893 Waiting until after June 1st will spread cap hit over two seasons

The Eagles remain open to trading A.J. Brown, the Patriots remain highly interested in acquiring the star receiver, and conversations are expected to resume shortly on or before June 1, likely culminating in a deal, per league sources. As one source said about the Patriots' pursuit of Brown, they'll “definitely be engaging then.” A trade to New England is now considered likely. (Adam Schefter on X)

FF Today's Take: Brown is not expected to attend the Eagles off-season workout program which begins today. If the two sides wait until after June 1st, then the Eagles will be able to spread out the $40 million cap hit over the 2026 and 2027 seasons. The Eagles have been stockpiling wide receivers this off-season, bringing in free agents Marquise Brown and Elijah Moore and trading for Packers wideout Dontayvion Wicks.]]> https://www.fftoday.com/news/index.php?Item=16892 Mon, 20 Apr 2026 10:31:00 GMT https://www.fftoday.com/news/index.php?Item=16892 Giants rebuilding under new HC John Harbaugh

Draft week blockbuster: The Giants are trading three-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence to the Bengals in a deal that will include the 10th overall pick going to New York, per ESPN sources. The Giants now head into Thursday night with the 5th and 10th overall picks. (Adam Schefter on X)

FF Today's Take: The Bengals lost Trey Hendrickson to the Ravens earlier this off-season which left a gaping hole in their defensive line. Lawrence publicly requested a trade on April 6 and New York was able find a trade partner. This now gives the Giants two picks (5 and 10) in the top ten of the 2026 draft. It won't be a shock if the Giants use one of their first or 2nd round (2.05) picks on a defensive lineman as they are weak in that area.]]> https://www.fftoday.com/news/index.php?Item=16891 Sun, 19 Apr 2026 00:25:00 GMT https://www.fftoday.com/news/index.php?Item=16891 Jacoby Brissett and Gardner Minshew currently on the roster

“There is a feeling around the league that the Cardinals certainly have some level of interest in Ty Simpson,” ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported. Similarly, NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah said, “I believe firmly (Simpson) is going to be a Cardinal." (AZCentral.com)

FF Today's Take: Cardinals general manager Monti Ossenfort spoke broadly about the quarterback position and the traits they look for in a rookie. With the Cardinals holding an early 2nd round pick (2.02), they could use that pick on Simpson or trade up into the backend of the first round. Jacoby Brissett and Gardner Minshew are currently on the roster. “That's where we are right now,” Ossenfort said. “Is that how it looks going into training camp? I don't know. We'll see.”]]> https://www.fftoday.com/news/index.php?Item=16890 Fri, 17 Apr 2026 02:28:00 GMT https://www.fftoday.com/news/index.php?Item=16890 Green Bay gets 2026 fifth-round pick and a 2027 sixth-round pick

Dontayvion Wicks to the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for a 2026 fifth-round pick and a 2027 sixth-round pick. Wicks will sign a one-year, $12.5 million extension with the Eagles, per his agent @DavidMulugheta. (Adam Schefter on X)

FF Today's Take: We've been hearing a lot of rumblings about A.J. Brown getting traded and this is going to add fuel to the fire. Wicks is signing a one-year extension with Philadelphia The Eagles have added Marquise Brown, Elijah Moore and Wicks this off-season. The Packers are now left with Christian Watson, Jayden Reed and Matthew Golden as their top three wideouts.]]> https://www.fftoday.com/news/index.php?Item=16889 Fri, 10 Apr 2026 20:33:00 GMT https://www.fftoday.com/news/index.php?Item=16889 "Has not engaged in conduct that violates the personal conduct policy"

NFL concluded today that Chiefs WR Rashee Rice “has not engaged in conduct that violates the personal conduct policy” and the investigation into accusations from his former girlfriend is now closed; there will be no discipline at this time. Statement from his attorney Sean Lindsey: “Mr. Rice wants to thank the NFL for their thorough investigation, and looks forward to the start of the 2026-27 NFL season.” (Adam Schefter on X)

FF Today's Take: A nice little late afternoon Friday news dump on a holiday weekend. Now that the league has concluded its investigation on the most recent accusations against Rice, it will be up to him to keep his nose clean moving forward. His value in early best ball formats should begin to climb on this news.]]> https://www.fftoday.com/news/index.php?Item=16888 Fri, 3 Apr 2026 20:50:00 GMT https://www.fftoday.com/news/index.php?Item=16888 Las Vegas adds a veteran to their QB room

Congrats @KirkCousins8 agreeing to a contract with the @Raiders. (Mike McCartney on X)

FF Today's Take: HC Klint Kubiak said recently at the owners meetings that he'd like to have his rookie QB (Fernando Mendoza) learn behind a veteran. Kirk Cousins (37) will be that veteran and is in line to be the Week 1 starter in Las Vegas if Kubiak sticks to his word. The Cardinals, Rams, and Packers were also reportedly interested in Cousins.]]> https://www.fftoday.com/news/index.php?Item=16887 Thu, 2 Apr 2026 13:13:00 GMT https://www.fftoday.com/news/index.php?Item=16887 One-year deal

Sources: The #Falcons are expected to sign former #49ers RB Brian Robinson Jr., per sources. Robinson has over 2,700 yards rushing, 612 yards receiving and 22 total TDs in four NFL seasons. (Jordan Schultz on X)

FF Today's Take: Robinson will replace Tyler Allgeier who left Atlanta for Arizona this off-season. As Bijan's backup, Allgeier totaled 143 and 137 carries the last two seasons giving some credence to consider Robinson as a late-round RB option in redraft leagues. Robinson played sparingly behind Christian McCaffrey last season (92 carries), so there's room for his fantasy to value to grow in Atlanta.]]> https://www.fftoday.com/news/index.php?Item=16886 Tue, 24 Mar 2026 17:37:00 GMT https://www.fftoday.com/news/index.php?Item=16886 Deal includes over $120 million guaranteed

Jaxon Smith-Njigba, the reigning NFL Offensive Player of the Year, has reached agreement with the Seattle Seahawks on a four-year contract extension that makes him the highest-paid wide receiver in NFL history, sources told ESPN. The deal includes over $120 million guaranteed. The Seahawks already exercised Smith-Njigba's fifth-year option for 2027 last week, and now have the two-time Pro Bowler under contract for the next six seasons. (ESPN)

FF Today's Take: We new this deal was likely to come even though Seattle just exercised his 5th-year option for 2027. JSN finished 2nd in fantasy points among all wide receivers last season (119-1793-10) and his hitting his prime. The next big pay day at wide receiver will be for Puka Nacua who will be in the final year of his contract in 2026.]]> https://www.fftoday.com/news/index.php?Item=16885 Mon, 23 Mar 2026 13:29:00 GMT https://www.fftoday.com/news/index.php?Item=16885 Takes over for Jahan Dotson in No.3 wideout role

Eagles announced they agreed to terms on a one-year deal with WR Hollywood Brown. (Adam Schefter on X)

FF Today's Take: The Eagles lost Jahan Dotson in free agency to the Falcons so Brown will fill the void as the Eagles No.3 receiver behind A.J. Brown (trade?) and DeVonta Smith. Hollywood played a rotational role with the Chiefs last season finishing with a 49-587-5 line. Assuming A.J. Brown sticks with the Eagles, Hollywood can be avoided in redraft leagues in 2026.]]> https://www.fftoday.com/news/index.php?Item=16884 Tue, 17 Mar 2026 19:01:00 GMT https://www.fftoday.com/news/index.php?Item=16884 Miami gets 1st round pick, late 3rd & 4th round picks

Full trade: Broncos get Jaylen Waddle and Dolphins’ 4th-round pick (11th in round) in this year’s draft. Dolphins get: 1st round pick (30th overall) along with late 3rd and 4th round picks (30th in each round) in this year’s draft. (Tom Pelissero on X)

FF Today's Take: The Broncos have been relatively quiet in free agency this off-season but made a splash today by trading for Waddle. This move give the Broncos a crowded WR room consisting of Waddle, Courtland Sutton, Pat Bryant, Troy Franklin and Marvin Mims to name a few while the Dolphins are left with scraps. Miami will certainly target the WR position in the upcoming draft. Sutton's fantasy value will decrease on this move.]]> https://www.fftoday.com/news/index.php?Item=16883 Tue, 17 Mar 2026 15:15:00 GMT https://www.fftoday.com/news/index.php?Item=16883 1-year, $6M deal

Sources: The #49ers are signing WR Christian Kirk to a 1-year, $6M deal. Kirk is the latest WR addition in San Fran, after they also signed WR Mike Evans. (Jordan Schultz on X)

FF Today's Take: San Francisco has added Mike Evans and Kirk via free agency this off-season as they reshape their wide receiver room. Kirk spent 2025 with the Texans but never really made a fantasy impact, playing in 11 games and finishing with a 28-239-1 line. He'll try and win the slot role in San Francisco but won't be on the fantasy radar in 16-round redraft leagues.]]> https://www.fftoday.com/news/index.php?Item=16882 Mon, 16 Mar 2026 20:08:00 GMT https://www.fftoday.com/news/index.php?Item=16882 Patrick Mahomes recovering from ACL injury

More about the Jets finalizing a trade that would send quarterback Justin Fields to the Chiefs in exchange for a 2027 sixth-round pick. (Adam Schefter on X)

FF Today's Take: The Chiefs needs some insurance to begin the 2026 season as Patrick Mahomes is currently rehabbing an ACL injury suffered in mid-December. Even if he's ready for Week 1, it's unlikely he'll be at 100 percent. Fields had a season to forget with the Jets in 2025 but will get a lot of work with the No.1 offense this pre-season and could make a couple starts to be begin 2026 for the Chiefs. However, his season-long outlook in redraft leagues is minimal.]]> https://www.fftoday.com/news/index.php?Item=16881 Mon, 16 Mar 2026 15:26:00 GMT https://www.fftoday.com/news/index.php?Item=16881 Eagles avoid a dead-cap hit of more than $20 million

Back to Philly for Dallas Goedert: The #Eagles have agreed to terms with the eight-year veteran TE on a one-year deal, sources tell me and @RapSheet. It was a complicated process for the last week but Goedert wanted to stay and the sides found a way to make it work. (Mike Garafolo on X)

FF Today's Take: The deal is reportedly worth $7 million. Goedert (31) spiked 11 touchdowns in 2025 on the way to his best fantasy finish to date (TE3). His usage around the goaline was encouraging but it's hard to justify him as anything more than a TE2 in 2026 even if wideout A.J. Brown eventually gets traded.]]> https://www.fftoday.com/news/index.php?Item=16880 Sun, 15 Mar 2026 19:59:00 GMT https://www.fftoday.com/news/index.php?Item=16880 Arizona will pay QB $36.8 million

Former Cardinals QB Kyler Murray is signing a one-year deal with the Vikings, per sources. Murray now will become part of a QB room that includes former No. 10 overall pick J.J. McCarthy. With Murray already owed $36.8 million from Arizona, his one-year contract with the Vikings will be for the veteran league minimum. (Adam Schefter on X)

FF Today's Take: McCarthy is not going to beat out Murray for the starting job in Minnesota this season. In all likelihood, the Vikings will be looking for a QB in the 2027 draft. For now, Murray lands in probably the best spot possible under HC Kevin O'Connell and with arguably the best wide receiver in the league. Murray played in just five games last season due to a sprained foot.]]> https://www.fftoday.com/news/index.php?Item=16879 Thu, 12 Mar 2026 22:19:00 GMT https://www.fftoday.com/news/index.php?Item=16879 One-year deal

Commanders are signing former Bucs RB Rachaad White to a one-year deal, per his agent Sunny Shah. White now reunites with his college quarterback, Jayden Daniels. (Adam Schefter on X)

FF Today's Take: White has been part of Tampa Bay's running back room for the last four seasons. He finished as the RB6 in half-ppr leagues back in 2023 but has largely been part of a committee ever since. He'll likely be in a similar role in Washington, working a lot on third downs and sharing time with Jacory Croskey-Merritt. All eyes will now turn to the draft and see if the Commanders are able to get RB Jeremiyah Love at pick 1.07. ]]> https://www.fftoday.com/news/index.php?Item=16878 Thu, 12 Mar 2026 19:01:00 GMT https://www.fftoday.com/news/index.php?Item=16878
