Another Robinson Joins Atlanta RB Room

Brian Robinson is now in Atlanta after signing a one-year deal there.

Bijan Robinson is also there, so Brian Robinson will just be a backup option. He effectively is replacing Tyler Allgeier, who joined the Cardinals this offseason.

Brian Robinson will only be a big-time fantasy asset if Bijan is out. The biggest thing with this signing is to make sure you draft the right B. Robinson from Atlanta - don't be the guy that takes Brian Robinson early in the first round.

Brian Robinson could carve out a decent role even as the No. 2 back, which could give him some deep-league upside, but I wouldn't count on it.

Moore Joining Eagles

Elijah Moore agreed to a one-year deal to join the Eagles.

It adds depth to a wide receiver room still in question with the whole A.J. Brown situation. If they keep Brown, then wideout might be a real strength for Philly.

Along with Brown, Philly has DeVonta Smith still, and they also added Marquise Brown this offseason. It's mostly been A.J. Brown and Smith doing the heavy lifting, so getting some veterans like Marquise Brown and Moore adds to the depth in that room.

Moore likely will only be a fantasy asset if A.J. Brown isn't retained, or injuries hit, but I think it's still a signing worth mentioning.

Flacco Back in Cincy

Joe Flacco looked for a starting job, but ended up deciding to return to Cincy on a one-year deal.

Joe Burrow is the starter there, and he will be as long as he's healthy. With injury concerns, having a good backup is a must, and Flacco is just that.

He'll be a streaming asset if Burrow ever isn't playing, but otherwise Flacco is just an option in the deepest of fantasy leagues. The Bengals' offense is a good one, so if Flacco ever is the starter, look for him to put up solid fantasy results.

Vikings Add Another QB

Carson Wentz is back in Minnesota after signing a one-year deal. He will join the QB room alongside Kyler Murray and J.J. McCarthy.

Wentz gives the Vikings another option after the position struggled to deliver in 2025. Wentz was a decent option before he got hurt, and of course, McCarthy struggled or was hurt most of the year.

Murray should be the starting QB in Minnesota, but now there's decent backup options in case Murray struggles or gets hurt. Minnesota should be able to bounce back in 2026, especially if Murray can deliver like he has at times in the past.

This is another better real-world pickup. There's no fantasy value involved unless Wentz is ever making a start.

Saints Sign Wilson as Backup QB

Zach Wilson has a new home, signing a one-year deal with the Saints.

Wilson adds another QB to the mix in New Orleans, where Tyler Shough is the starter. Spencer Rattler is also still there.

Shough showed some promise, especially late in 2026. A backup is needed in case Shough regresses hard or gets injured, and that's why the team signed Wilson.

He will battle Rattler for the backup job. I'd say that job is a toss up, but again, there's only fantasy value with Rattler or Wilson if they are starting.

Bobo Back in Seattle

Jake Bobo is back in Seattle on a two-year deal. Jacksonville tried to sign him, but Seattle matched the offer to bring Bobo back.

Bobo is a depth option, but the team liked him enough to bring him back. It'd take injuries to get Bobo into a notable role, which is where fantasy value could come. Bobo had some big catches this past season, and he's insurance in case Rashid Shaheed or Cooper Kupp are injured.

In other Seattle wideout news, Jaxon Smith-Njigba has a new four-year deal worth $168.6 million. That doesn't affect anything in Seattle, but locks up a rising, young wideout to a lucrative deal.

JSN is the stud wideout in Seattle, but Shaheed, Kupp or Bobo could definitely still contribute, although they are likely all better deep-league fantasy assets. We'll see how the Seattle offense grows after winning it all.

Lions Pick Up Receiver

Greg Dortch signed a one-year deal with Detroit.

He gives the team another option, but he's likely behind starters Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams and Isaac TeSlaa. I wasn't going to cover this move, but I don't love the signing for TeSlaa's sake, so I decided to hit on it quickly.

I still think TeSlaa has the leg up on Dortch as TeSlaa was a draft pick and is more a long-term option, but Dortch is competition, and could take some production away, so it's worth mentioning.

We'll see how things progress as the season nears. Behind St. Brown and Williams though, there's not a ton of targets to go around. Add in Sam LaPorta at tight end and there's even less.

Dortch has delivered in the past, and could again with an injury ahead of him, or if he snags the No. 3 role away from TeSlaa. This is another situation to monitor as the 2026 season nears.
