Yooo!
In the time between last weekās newsletter and nowā¦
Mike Evans became a 49er
DJ Moore became a Bill
Maxx Crosby became a Raven
Tua became a Falcon
Maxx Crosby became a Raider
And thatās just the tip of the iceberg
Weāve got a lot of headlines to choose from this weekā¦
In case you missed it, we dropped the newsletter cadence down to 1x per week for the early part of the offseason.
Weāre working on some big updates to the website and canāt wait to share them with you as we make progress!
In the meantime, you can expect our newsletters to land in your inbox every Wed at 9pm EST up until the NFL draft (late April). Weāll increase the newsletter cadence again after that.
Last week, I asked you all: āWhat would you be willing to pay to acquire Anthony Richardson?ā
30.9% of you said āNothingā


Best subscriber comments:
Late 2nd: āLate 2nd feels like the point where the rookies become a complete crapshoot, and we've seen A-Rich play well FOR FANTASY PURPOSES when he's been healthy.ā
Late 3rd: ā4th rounder wasn't an option..... I love the talent, too bad he didnāt want to be some TE/WR.ā
Nothing: āBackup to be. Ravens would be a good fit.ā
Our take: I didnāt realize the market was so down on A-Rich that ānothingā would be the top vote-getter. I guess when you add up all the 3rd round answer choices, 42% of total voters said they would pay a 3rd for him. Thatās probably where Iām at, too. I donāt think weāve seen the last of him as a starter in this league.
Alright, now letās cover 5 of the most important pieces of news from the past week.
Giddy up.

WR - D.J. Moore (BUF)
Mentioned in : 2026 NFL Free Agency Moves & Fantasy Football Impact
DJ Moore was traded from the Bears to the Bills, where he becomes a significant addition to Josh Allen's receiving corps as the closest player to a true No. 1 wide receiver the Bills have lacked since Stefon Diggs' departure.
Moore brings a skill set that fits perfectly within Joe Brady's offensive system, and the two already have established history together from their time with the Carolina Panthers in 2020 and 2021, when Brady was calling plays.
During those Panthers seasons with Brady, Moore finished as the WR22 and WR19 in half-PPR scoring while posting nearly 1,200 receiving yards in both campaigns and averaging 11.5 fantasy points per game, which would have ranked WR17 in 2025 scoring, demonstrating his ability to produce at an elite level in Brady's system.
Our take: I donāt need to tell you that being Josh Allenās new #1 WR is a good sign for DJ Mooreās outlook. I will say this from a dynasty perspective, though⦠now would be a great time to sell if you can get a good return. Heāll be 29 years old in a month, and it wouldnāt be shocking to see him lose a step this year (only one of his advanced metrics ranked in the top 40 last season). If youāre a contender and want to ride it out for a year, I get that. But I have to imagine heās at peak value right now (or pretty close to it).

WR - Emeka Egbuka (TB)
Emeka Egbuka became one of the biggest fantasy winners when Mike Evans left the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, as the second-year wide receiver will now operate as one of the top two receivers in the Tampa Bay offense. The Ohio State product will likely be drafted in the early-to-middle rounds of fantasy drafts, a significant jump from his previous draft position. This represents a major opportunity for Egbuka to establish himself as a primary target in the passing game.
Egbuka demonstrated his potential when Evans missed 10 games last year, seeing at least eight targets in eight of those 10 games from Week 4 to Week 14. During this stretch, his 89 total targets ranked tied for fifth among all pass-catchers in the NFL, showcasing his ability to command volume when given the opportunity. With Evans officially gone, Egbuka should post better all-around numbers in his second year with Baker Mayfield.
The 23-year-old has WR1 upside in the Tampa Bay offense and is clearly the most talented playmaker on the team alongside Chris Godwin Jr. The article identifies Egbuka as a clear fantasy winner from free agency, with his new role providing him with the opportunity to become a consistent fantasy option in 2026.
Our take: A lot of people will be worried about how Egbuka ended his year after a scorching start. Iām not that concerned. Egbuka and Baker both dealt with nagging injuries throughout the year, and things were clearly off. I wouldāve been a lot more concerned with Egbuka entering this year if Evans and Godwin were both in the picture. But with Evans gone, the volume should be there, and Egbuka has already shown he has the talent to capitalize on the opportunity.
RB - J.K. Dobbins (DEN)
J.K. Dobbins re-signed with the Denver Broncos on a two-year, $16 million deal that includes $8 million fully guaranteed at signing, with the ability to earn up to $20 million through incentives. In his first year with Denver in 2025, Dobbins led the Broncos in carries (153), rushing yards (772), and runs of at least 10 yards (21), accomplishing this in just 10 games before a foot injury suffered on a Thursday night against the Raiders ended his season early.
Dobbins has demonstrated significant effectiveness when healthy, posting a career rushing average of 5.2 yards per carry. His 772 yards in 2025 and 905 yards rushing for the Los Angeles Chargers in 2024 represent the most in back-to-back seasons in his career, as were the 13 combined rushing touchdowns over the past two seasons, showcasing his ability to be a productive dual-threat when available.
Despite his injury historyāmissing the entire 2021 season due to a torn ACL and playing just one game in 2023 after tearing his Achilles tendonāDobbins is poised to continue as the primary early-down grinder in Denver's backfield, sharing carries with rookie RJ Harvey. His RB43 Average Draft Position and 11th-round price may be artificially depressed due to injury concerns, presenting bold fantasy investors with a potential great return on investment if he can stay healthy in 2026.
Our take: When Dobbins is healthy, he produces. Simple as that. The main thing that suppresses his value is his injury history. Iāll take the production. Harvey didnāt exactly run away with the job after Dobbins went down last year. Heāll obviously still be involved, but that shouldnāt prevent Dobbins from being a reliable RB2 most weeks. I love it if I can get him as an RB3 on my roster.
WR - Rome Odunze (CHI)
Mentioned in: NFL Trade Impact | David Montgomery & D.J. Moore | What It Means for HOU, CHI, DET and BUF
Rome Odunze is entering a critical season heading into Year 3 with the Chicago Bears, and the article identifies him as the WR1 for the team. He was on the verge of a breakout season over the first 12 games, and in games where he saw at least seven targets, he often produced 15 or more fantasy points, though he suffered from some boom-or-bust performances.
Odunze suffered a heel injury setback in Week 9 that appeared on the injury report and likely contributed to poor outings in games where he saw fewer than five targets. In five games where he saw fewer than five targets, he averaged only about three fantasy points, but context matters given his injury situation during that stretch.
If Odunze can stay healthy, he has a real shot to emerge as the WR1 in the Bears offense, and the article recommends targeting him in dynasty trades over Luther Burden, especially considering the potential growth in his role entering Year 3. Odunze also offers strong touchdown upside, as he was one of the Bears' primary red-zone weapons in 2025, making him a valuable asset for dynasty managers.
Our take: No more DJ Moore means expanded opportunities for Odunze, Burden, and Loveland. I donāt know if Iād go so far as to choose Odunze over Burden as this article does, but I think they can all thrive in this offense (similar to how Detroit supported Amon-Ra, Jameson Williams, and Laporta). Of the 3 main pass catchers for Chicago, Odunze probably has the cheapest dynasty value right now, but itās not crazy to think he could be the leading receiver for this group next year.
TE - Isaiah Likely (NYG)
Isaiah Likely signed a three-year deal with the New York Giants worth up to $40 million and is expected to continue his role as a modern-day move tight end who lines up primarily as a slot receiver rather than a traditional in-line tight end. Last year, Likely ran 73.2 percent of his routes from the slot, 11.2 percent wide, and only 14.5 percent as an in-line tight end, a usage pattern consistent with his career average of running more than 50 percent of his snaps as a slot receiver in each of his first four seasons.
Despite emerging as a trendy sleeper target during the 2024 preseason with his growing slot receiver role, Likely failed to sustain early success after an explosive Week 1 performance against the Chiefs where he had nine catches for 111 yards and a touchdown. From Week 1 onward, Likely averaged just 2.2 receptions and 24.4 receiving yards per game, finishing as the per-game TE30 in fantasyānumbers that align with his career averages of 2.1 receptions and 24.9 yards per game, making him steady but rather unproductive despite his pass-catching profile.
Head coach John Harbaugh, who drafted Likely and coached him throughout his entire NFL career with the Ravens, is expected to replicate the offensive system that worked in Baltimore by pairing Likely with young tight end Theo Johnson in two-tight-end sets. With Harbaugh also signing Patrick Ricard and having a mobile quarterback in Jaxson Dart, Likely should assume the same slot receiver role he held in Baltimore, positioning him as a potential sleeper tight end worth a dart throw in drafts if his price remains low, though his four years of disappointing production make him a risky bet if his draft cost rises.
Our take: If a free agent signs with a new team, but ends up playing for the same coach, does it change his outlook? This might be our best bet at answering the āif a tree falls in the woodsā¦ā riddle. Combine this move with hiring Matt Nagy as OC (which many people are saying is an underwhelming hire), and I think weāre likely to get disappointed again by Likely. (P.S. Mark Andrews comeback szn in Baltimore??? š )
Thatās all for tonight!
See ya pizza,
Joe
