What NFL news matters more than Brock Bowers is a "football robot from heaven"?
Sure, it is interesting to hear that “Jordan Tyson is an elite separator, and “Keon Coleman will exist" but here are 10 non-Rashee Rice-related news items that have actually factored into my player value equation...
- Alec Pierce suffered a significant ankle injury
The Colts did not select a WR in the Top-100, and Pierce will miss most of the offseason recovering from ankle surgery. This just further boosts Josh Downs’ sleeper status.
- John Harbaugh is not sure when Malik Nabers will return
This comes after reports of a clean-up procedure on Nabers' knee. Expect him to start off on the PUP and not be 100% for the majority of the season. This bad for both Nabers, Dart, and the Giants entire offense in 2026.
- Terrance Ferguson is in the lead for Rams TE1
Matthew Stafford’s TE1 is a valuable position IF Ferguson can take the baton and run with it after coaches expressed genuine interest in him ascending this season.
- Brock Bowers is a "football robot from heaven"
The GOAT coach quote about a player. Combine this news that TE-friendly Kirk Cousins will be under center and Nailor is in line to be WR1, and Bowers is teed up for the greatest fantasy tight end season of all time.
- Chris Rodriguez is projected to lead the Jaguars in carries
The bull’s case for Tuten requires a significant rush share. If reporters close to the team see Rodriguez as the primary back on early downs and Lequint Allen as a third-down option, Tuten appears to be headed for a touch squeeze in his second season.
- Alt and Slater ahead of schedule
Joe Alt (one of the best tackle prospects of all time) and Rashawn Slater (second best tackle in the sport in 2024) played zero games together in 2025. Both Herbert’s time to throw and Hampton’s offensive line yards will rise this year.
- The C-Word: Kyren Williams is officially a committee back
Talk of Kyren Williams moving into full-blown committee status before training camp is a major concern. Blake Corum projects to have some standalone value, and Jarquez Hunter looms.
- Jonah Coleman is great on third down
An old-school coach like Sean Payton does not often tout a rookie running back’s third-down blocking prowess. Denver drafting Coleman sets up a classic touch squeeze for RJ Harvey.
- Xavier Worthy’s 2025 season ruined by Week 1 shoulder injury
Tape grinders appreciate Worthy’s route running, and his speed is otherworldly. The news he was playing through a torn shoulder all year is the puzzle piece we needed to stay bullish on Worthy in all formats this season.
- Jonathan Brooks’ breakout season is now
There is no cheaper bell cow back in dynasty. When both are healthy, the debate between Jonathon Brooks and Chuba Hubbard is real. All beat reporting arrows point to Brooks starting camp at 100%, and he is well-positioned to earn a standalone role with RB1 upside.
