Fantasy Impact: This is massive news for the Miami Dolphins, who just brought in Malik Willis at QB and now send away his top target. Watch for them to make a move on some veteran free agents who are still on the market, such as Jauan Jennings, and to bring in some help via the draft, as no one on the roster can come close to filling in the hole Waddle will leave. As for Waddle, he now gets to play on Broncos who were a Bo Nix injury away from a potential Super Bowl bid. Courtland Sutton will see a downgrade in targets, and this hurts the breakout potential of guys like Troy Franklin and Pat Bryant.
Former Jets QB Justin Fields is reportedly being traded to the Chiefs. (Source: Ian Rapoport on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Fields recorded seven passing touchdowns in nine appearances last season. The move gives him a fresh start in Kansas City, where he could be a solid early-season option if Patrick Mahomes misses time.
Dallas Goedert and the Eagles have agreed on a one-year deal to keep the star tight end in Philadelphia for another season. (Source: Adam Schefter on X)
Fantasy Impact: Goedert played 15 games last year and caught a career-high 60 passes for 591 yards and a career-best 11 touchdowns. The 31-year-old has spent his entire eight-year career with Philadelphia and has totaled 409 catches for 4,676 yards and 35 touchdowns in 108 games. His status has been in limbo during the offseason and, with the Eagles signing Grant Calcaterra and Johnny Mundt, it appeared that Goedert's days in Philadelphia were coming to an end. That, however, is not the case as Goedert will take his rightful place as the starting tight end with the Eagles for a ninth season. He should be one of the first tight ends drafted in fantasy leagues in 2026.

Daniel Jones has agreed to a two-year, $50 million deal with the Colts. (Source: Ian Rapoport on X)
Fantasy Impact: At first that the Colts and Jones were miles apart, with the Colts offer coming in significantly lower than what Jones desired. However, they’ve worked it out, giving Jones the money he’s asked for, and locked him down for the short term. It’s especially good news for Alec Pierce, who was having a career season with Jones before the QB went down due to injury.
Trey Hendrickson has agreed to a four-year, $112 million contract with the Baltimore Ravens according to Ari Meirov. (Source: Ari Meirov on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Hendrickson’s deal includes incentives that would push the pact to $120 million for the top free-agent pass rusher on the market after a deal between Baltimore and the Las Vegas Raiders for star rusher Maxx Crosby was nullified by the Ravens late Tuesday night. The defensive end recorded 14 or more sacks in three of his last four full season for the Cincinnati Bengals and will now boost a Baltimore front seven looking to disrupt opposing quarterbacks in 2026.
The Maxx Crosby trade to the Ravens is reportedly off as Baltimore has backed out after Crosby failed his physical. (Source: Mike Garafolo on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: This report comes out of no where as the Raiders are saying Baltimore is the team who backed out. It is reported that it is because Crosby failed his physical. The Ravens will get their first-round picks back. What a plot twist.
Geno Smith has been traded to the New York Jets for sixth round pick. The Raiders are also sending a seventh. (Source: Ian Rapoport on X)
Fantasy Impact: The Jets just might have their bridge quarterback. Though Geno struggled mightily last season, he’s going to be about as cheap an option as any, especially with the team as an undesirable destination for free agent QBs. After some years away, Geno has returned to the Jets. But, the team may not be done just yet at QB.
Alohi Gilman is heading to the Kansas City Chiefs as the two sides agreed to a three-year deal. The contract is worth $24.75 million with $15 million guaranteed. (Source: Ian Rapoport on X)
Fantasy Impact: Gilman played 17 games last season - five with the Chargers and 12 with the Ravens - and posted a career-high 90 tackles, including 50 solo stops. A former sixth-round pick by the Chargers in the 2020 NFL Draft, Gilman was traded to Baltimore in October after spending his first five-plus years with the Chargers. He has picked off five career passes and batted down another 27 passes in his six-year career. Gilman, who was on the field for 98% of defensive snaps in his time with the Ravens, should occupy one of the starting safety spots in Kansas City.
Rashid Shaheed has agreed to return to the Seahawks on a three-year, $51 million deal. (Source: Ian Rapoport on X)
Fantasy Impact: Shaheed wasn’t what fantasy players hoped he would be in Seattle, managing only 15 receptions for 188 yards after being traded to Seattle despite his deep threat skillset and QB Sam Darnold’s deep throwing ability. However, Shaheed proved his worth in the return game, returning both a punt and kickoff for a touchdown for Seattle. Hopefully in 2026 he sees more work in the receiving game, as his price tag would imply. This likely means Tory Horton’s breakout is at best delayed, if not completely out of the cards with Cooper Kupp also still on the roster with Shaheed and Jaxon Smith-Njigba.
The Falcons are signing QB Tua Tagovailoa to a one-year contract. (Source: Adam Schefter on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: The move gets done after it was reported Monday morning that the Falcons were making a “strong early push” to sign Tagovailoa. He joins Michael Penix as a second left-hander in the Falcons quarterback room. He projects to likely be a potential bridge option as Penix works his way back from a torn ACL.
The Broncos are re-signing RB J.K. Dobbins. (Source: Dianna Russini on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Denver had shown interest in Kenneth Walker before he signed with the Chiefs. Dobbins appeared in 10 games in his first year in Denver last season. He'll remain in a committee with RJ Harvey.
The 49ers are signing WR Mike Evans. (Source: Ian Rapoport on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: The 49ers bring in a big offensive weapon for Brock Purdy. Evans has been one of the best red zone targets in the NFL throughout his career. He should continue to hold plenty of touchdown upside in San Francisco. He'll remain on the WR2 radar for fantasy managers.
Wan’Dale Robinson has agreed four year, $78 million deal with the Tennessee Titans. (Source: Ian Rapoport on X)
Fantasy Impact: Robinson was long rumored to go to the Titans, and those rumors have come true. He will rejoin former Giants HC Brian Daboll in Tennessee and operate as a primary target for Cam Ward in 2026. It’s wheels up for Wan’Dale, who has 140 targets and at least 92 receptions each of the past two years.
The Saints are signing RB Travis Etienne Jr. to a four-year, $52 million deal. (Source: Adam Schefter on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: The future of Alvin Kamara in the Saints backfield is uncertain as Etienne joins the group. The status of Kamara will need to be monitored the rest of the offseason. Either way, Etienne should be stepping into the lead role. He'll be on the low-end RB1/high-end RB2 radar for fantasy managers.
The Cardinals agreed to terms on a two-year, $12.25 million deal with Tyler Allgeier. (Source: Mike Garafolo on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Allgeier joins James Conner and Trey Benson in the backfield for Arizona. He had potential other landing spots where he could have had more of a feature role if Conner remains in Arizona. This will remain a backfield to monitor the rest of the offseason.

Malik Willis has agreed to a three year, $67 million deal with the Miami Dolphins that includes $45 million guaranteed. (Source: Ian Rapoport on X)
Fantasy Impact: Miami won the Malik Willis sweepstakes. Now it’s up to him and the coaching staff to see if he can truly become the QB they want and believe he can be. Jaylen Waddle and De’Von Achane will still be the top targets in the offense, but likely at a lower volume of passes than they would otherwise see since Willis is not known for his volume of passes per game.
The Indianapolis Colts are trading wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. to the Pittsburgh Steelers in exchange for a late-round pick swap. (Source: Tom Pelissero on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: After bringing back Alec Pierce on a deal that slots him inside the top 10 at his position in total value and average annual value, Pittman seemed like a likely candidate to be on the move. He had 784 yards and seven touchdowns in 2025, fitting well with Daniel Jones as he looks to regain form from 2023. Pittsburgh has questions under center, but he will be the steady WR2 alongside DK Metcalf. He is signing a three-year, $59 million extension as part of the move.
Running back Kenneth Walker III is signing with the Kansas City Chiefs following his Super Bowl run with the Seattle Seahawks. (Source: Ian Rapoport on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Walker won Super Bowl MVP after leading Seattle on the ground. In recent seasons, he has split opportunities with RB Zach Charbonnet, but in Kansas City, he could be the team’s workhorse. Patrick Mahomes’ recovery will be paramount for the Chiefs, but Walker gives them juice on the ground they have lacked and could be a very early round redraft pick this season. Walker’s deal is for three years and up to $45 million with $28.7 million guaranteed.
Alec Pierce is returning to the Colts on a four-year, $116 million deal. (Source: Adam Schefter on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: After reports of many other teams showing interest in Pierce, he will be returning to the Colts for at least four more years. It is unclear if Michael Pittman Jr.'s roster spot is in jeopardy as a result. Pierce will be on the WR2/WR3 radar for fantasy managers.
The 49ers are now said to be open to trading Pro Bowl LT Trent Williams. (Source: Ian Rapoport on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Williams has been seeking a new contract and the two sides haven't been able to reach an agreement. He is due $32 million in salary with a $38 million-plus cap number. This will remain a situation to monitor.
