Fantasy Football UDFA Signing Tracker & Outlook (2026)
Eric Rivers (WR – TB)
Rivers was a “true” perimeter wide receiver in 2025 (72.7% out wide). Rivers has the release package and route-running chops to operate on the outside. He exhibits efficient footwork off the line and at the top of his stem. Rivers shows off a firm understanding of how to set up corners dancing in their blind spot at times or timing his route break with a corner’s hip flip. Rivers has elite speed. He hits the accelerator and goes. Rivers subtly changes direction in his routes and loses little speed when doing so. Georgia Tech utilized him plenty on deep overs where he could simply run away from defenders. Rivers’ ball tracking is strong. Rivers can win downfield, but he wasn’t just a deep threat in 2025. Only 22.7% of his target volume was via deep targets. Rivers has a small catch radius considering his frame, but he also doesn’t flash the in-the-air body control to snag a ton of targets outside of his body. His size also shows up at the catch point as he’s not winning many 50/50 battles for the ball. Rivers is a scrappy player. He negotiates physical coverage well when presented with it, which wasn’t much, given the nature of college football, but also the inability of corners to get their hands on him. Dynasty Outlook: Rivers was a predraft crush for me. Unfortunately, he dropped out of the NFL Draft, but he signed a UDFA deal with the Buccaneers. I’ll draft Rivers with my final pick in a rookie draft in the last round or pick him up off waivers and stash him on a taxi squad. I’m a believer in his talent. I wouldn’t be shocked if he’s this year’s Jalen Coker.
Jeff Caldwell (WR – KC)
Caldwell is a size/speed specimen standing at 6’5″, 215 lbs, with a blazing 4.31 40-yard dash time. That type of raw speed is easily evident in his film. He flies off the line as soon as the ball is snapped. Caldwell should enter an NFL passing attack as a field stretcher with room to grow into more at the next level. Caldwell tall, lanky bolt of lightning. His route running needs to grow at the next level for him to hit his ceiling as a player. He relies on speed releases and has to clean up his in-route footwork on double moves. He has the raw speed to still burn corners with them, but that margin for error will decrease in the NFL. Caldwell’s thinner frame shows up at the catch point with a 37.9% contested catch rate over the last two years. He has serviceable hands, but drops have been a problem with a 10.1% drop rate in college. Caldwell displays solid ball tracking as he was tasked with a hitch and go routes. Last year, 27.6% of his target volume came via deep targets.
Tyren Montgomery (WR – TEN)
Montgomery’s raw speed is adequate and more of the build-up variety. He does have enough speed to stack defenders when running the vertical route tree, but the jump in competition is a concern in that area. He could find himself having to win at the catch point more in the NFL. Montgomery displays late hands and can operate above the rim in jump ball situations. He could be a red zone threat for an NFL offense from Day 1. Montgomery is a catch point winner. He had only 13 contested targets last year, but he secured 61.5% of them. Montgomery has solid fluidity in his routes. His hip stiffness does show up when he’s asked to sink and decelerate on comebacks and curls. Montgomery is much better on ins and outs when he can put his foot in the ground and uncover quickly. He does a decent job of adding some nuance to his routes with some salesmanship. His in-route footwork does need to be cleaned up as his feet can get away from him at times, getting in and out of his breaks, where he’ll lose his footing. Despite his 27 missed tackles forced last year, I don’t consider him to be a behemoth after the catch. Much of that I attribute to the lower level of competition and poor tackling. He profiles more as a possession receiver in the NFL. Dynasty Outlook: Tyren Montgomery went undrafted, but he has signed a UDFA deal with the Titans. He’s worth picking up off the dynasty waiver wire after the rookie draft and stashing on a taxi squad (if you have room), but he’ll have quite the uphill climb to make the Week 1 roster with the litany of veterans on the roster already.
Chase Roberts (WR – LV)
Roberts is a big, long-striding possession receiver. He has 4.64 40-yard dash speed. With solid testing metrics finishing with an 82nd percentile vertical jump, an 87th percentile broad jump, and an 80th percentile three cone. He will have to continue to diversify his release package in the NFL. There are moments when he wins off the line with speed and has the corner get back into the play. His route salesmanship could also use a few more pitches, as he isn’t leaving corners frustrated and burnt often. At his size (6’3″), he can still get in and out of a whip route fairly well. He plays with strength in his routes and at the catch point. He secured 65.7% of his contested targets over the last two years. He has fluid body control and a big catch radius. With his average raw speed, he has issues consistently stacking corners. He’ll have to live with muddy catch points, but he has the play strength to win his share of those battles. Roberts profiles as more of a possession receiver than a downfield threat. Drops are a problem that he has to clean up. He finished with a 9.1% drop rate in college. Dynasty Outlook: Roberts went undrafted, but he has signed a UDFA deal with the Raiders. Roberts is one of my favorite taxi squad stashes. The Raiders’ wide receiver room is less than inspiring right now. I wouldn’t be shocked if he made waves in camp and the preseason and earns a spot on the depth chart. He finished college with a 72nd percentile college dominator, posted good athletic testing, and has a solid analytical resume ranking 31st in yards per route run in 2024.

Dean Connors (RB – LAR)
Connors is a solid all-around back who should settle in as an RB2/passing down back for an NFL team. He finishes runs well with plus leg drive as he grinds out extra yards. He’s not an explosive runner, but he can pick up tough yards. Connors has average contact balance and burst. He doesn’t have stellar long speed and gets caught from behind with runs, but he plays with max effort and has no issues lowering his shoulder to make defenders pay. Conners is solid in pass pro. He can quickly diagnose his assignment and attacks incoming defenders with a solid base. Connors can anchor and hold his own while displaying good lateral agility to maneuver into position to meet defenders head-on. Connors is a trusted check-down option in the passing game. He finishes with an overall 14.4% collegiate target share and 1.43 yards per route run or higher in two of his final three collegiate seasons. He had only one drop in his final season. Dynasty Outlook: Connors joins a stacked Rams backfield as a UDFA. He’ll have to beat out Ronnie Rivers to earn a job with the Rams as their RB4. It’s possible, but not probable. I’ll pick Connors up off waivers after rookie drafts and stash him on taxi squads where I can because I’m a fan of the talent. If he doesn’t stick with the Rams, I easily could see him latching on with another team.
Terion Stewart (RB – KC)
Stewart is a dense, bowling-ball back. He’s rocked up and built like a mini fridge. He doesn’t have plus long speed (4.56 40-yard dash), but he gets up to top speed in the blink of an eye (99th percentile 10-yard split). He is a chunk play author who lacks a true home run gear. Stewart’s speed and twitch looked decreased in 2025 on film. This could be related to a left foot/ankle injury he sustained early in the year (was spotted in a boot in August). He also dealt with a right leg/foot injury in 2023 (missed the final four games). Stewart has solid vision as a tenacious downhill runner with good contact balance. In 2025, there were times when he paused at the line before bursting forward if the intended gap was clogged. This is just a wrinkle in his game and not a consistent trend across his film. Last year, Stewart wasn’t as quick to attempt to bounce runs outside as he had been in previous seasons. Once he gets into the second level of a defense, he displays patience and the willingness to create off-angle tackle attempts for defenders with subtle jump cuts and directional changes. He pinballs off defenders. Stewart has the occasional spin move or stiff arm that he’ll deploy to add a few more yards to the end of a run. He is a savvy runner, but he’s not dynamically twitchy. Stewart’s passing game usage and resume as a pass blocker are extremely limited. He finishes college with only 13 targets and a paltry 0.40 yards per route run. He was a checkdown option only in college. With his pass-blocking reps, Stewart is a work in progress. Stewart is late in diagnosing rushers at times. He has solid lower-body strength but will drop his eyes at times, swing and miss against free rushers, and doesn’t sustain his blocks or hit them with a strong punch consistently.
Robert Henry Jr. (RB – WAS)
Henry Jr. profiles as an RB2/3 or change-of-pace option at the NFL level. He has average burst at best (24th percentile 10-yard split) and decent short-area agility. He’ll toss in a nice juke move occasionally. Henry is a build-up speed runway back that does his best work with subtle jump cuts and vision in the second-level. He lacks the home run hitting, long speed, and palpable second gear. Henry is a liability in pass protection. He is late to the party at times as he’s a tick late to diagnose his assignment. Henry will lunge at defenders and find himself out of position. His lateral agility limitations show up here as he’ll get burned by speed rushers off the edge, as they easily get around him. He’s a serviceable checkdown option in the passing game with dependable hands. Henry had only three drops in college (70 targets). Dynasty Outlook: Henry Jr. was signed to a UDFA deal with Washington. The Commanders also selected Kaytron Allen in the NFL Draft to add to their gaggle of cast-off running backs. I doubt Henry Jr. sticks with the team out of camp, considering the mountain of players he’ll have to hop to make the team, but crazier things have happened. Stash him on taxi squads in deeper leagues where you can. His tackle-breaking metrics in college make him an intriguing lottery ticket.
Jaydn Ott (RB – KC)
Ott is a linear runner. He’s equipped with average burst and an ok second-gear. He’s a slasher back with smooth lateral agility. Ott wins with solid footwork, lateral agility, and plus vision. He doesn’t have the raw speed to consistently gain the edge with wide zone runs, but he can operate with inside zone and gap runs at a high level. His speed is more of the build-up variety. He can hold his own in pass protection, but he still will attempt to lunge at defenders at times and drop his head. This won’t work in the NFL, but he balances those rough reps with some strong ones where he anchors decently and redirects incoming rushers. Dynasty Outlook: Ott was also a UDFA signing for the Kansas City Chiefs. Out of all the backs on this roster, Ott is one of the ones I think has a slim shot to stick on the roster when it’s all said and done. I’ll let others chase him as a taxi squad add. There are other backs that I prefer over him in this class.
