Drake Maye battling shoulder issue

Patriots quarterback Drake Maye is dealing with a shoulder ailment but is expected to be available for the Super Bowl.

FantasyBroz Take:
At this stage of the season, nobody is fully healthy. All signs point to Maye playing without restriction, and the Patriots will be more concerned with protecting him than limiting his mobility.

Bills promote Joe Brady to head coach

Buffalo promoted offensive coordinator Joe Brady to head coach on a five-year deal.

FantasyBroz Take:
Brady gets the keys with an MVP quarterback in Josh Allen. Continuity should benefit Buffalo’s offense, and Brady’s aggressive style keeps this unit fantasy-friendly across the board.

Browns give Nate Scheelhaase second HC interview

Rams passing game coordinator Nate Scheelhaase completed a second interview with Cleveland.

FantasyBroz Take:
Scheelhaase is one of the fastest risers this cycle. Cleveland appears serious about a younger, offensive-minded head coach as the search narrows.

Jaguars retain Campanile, Udinski

Jacksonville announced both coordinators will return for the 2026 season.

FantasyBroz Take:
Stability matters after a division title. Keeping both coordinators suggests Jacksonville believes its system is working and wants continuity around Trevor Lawrence.

Travis Hunter expected to play more defense

Jaguars expect Travis Hunter to see increased snaps at cornerback next season.

FantasyBroz Take:
This limits Hunter’s offensive fantasy ceiling unless roster changes occur. He remains a rare talent, but his usage will need monitoring throughout the offseason.

Broncos fire OC Joe Lombardi

Denver parted ways with offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi following the AFC Championship loss.

FantasyBroz Take:
Sean Payton is demanding more from this offense. A new OC could significantly reshape Denver’s fantasy outlook, especially at quarterback.

Bo Nix could be ready for training camp

Broncos QB Bo Nix is trending toward a full recovery by training camp.

FantasyBroz Take:
The recovery timeline remains cautious, but optimism is growing. Nix remains firmly in Denver’s long-term plans.

Jets part ways with OC Tanner Engstrand

New York and offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand mutually parted ways.

FantasyBroz Take:
The Jets’ offense remains in flux. Whoever steps in next will have immediate pressure to stabilize quarterback play.

Titans land Brian Daboll as OC

Brian Daboll has committed to becoming Tennessee’s offensive coordinator.

FantasyBroz Take:
This is massive for Cam Ward’s development. Daboll’s track record with quarterbacks gives Tennessee real upside heading into 2026.

Falcons confirm Tommy Rees will call plays

Atlanta announced OC Tommy Rees will handle play-calling duties.

FantasyBroz Take:
Expect a run-heavy approach centered around Bijan Robinson. Rees’ system should emphasize efficiency and ball control.

Eagles interview Sean Mannion

Packers QB coach Sean Mannion will interview for Philadelphia’s OC vacancy.

FantasyBroz Take:
This would be a developmental hire. Mannion’s quarterback background fits an offense focused on growth and structure.

Steelers to interview Lunda Wells

Dallas tight ends coach Lunda Wells will interview for Pittsburgh’s OC job.

FantasyBroz Take:
Wells’ familiarity with Mike McCarthy makes this a logical connection. Tight end usage could increase if he lands the role.

McCarthy to call plays in Pittsburgh

Mike McCarthy confirmed he will call offensive plays as Steelers head coach.

FantasyBroz Take:
This places the offense squarely on McCarthy’s shoulders. Pittsburgh’s fantasy ceiling hinges on improved quarterback efficiency.

McCarthy wants Rodgers back in 2026

McCarthy publicly stated his desire for Aaron Rodgers to return.

FantasyBroz Take:
Rodgers’ decision will shape Pittsburgh’s entire offseason. Retirement remains possible, but McCarthy is clearly pushing for continuity.

McCarthy excited about Will Howard

Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy praised rookie QB Will Howard.

FantasyBroz Take:
Howard may be more than a placeholder. If Rodgers doesn’t return, Howard could see meaningful competition snaps.

Cardinals could trade Kyler Murray

Arizona may be open to trading Kyler Murray for a Day 2 pick.

FantasyBroz Take:
This is one of the biggest offseason dominoes. Murray’s landing spot would dramatically impact his fantasy value.

Falcons may franchise tag Kyle Pitts

Atlanta is considering using the franchise tag on Kyle Pitts.

FantasyBroz Take:
After a breakout season, Pitts’ value is back near elite territory. Quarterback stability remains the missing piece.

Cowboys could clash with George Pickens

Dallas may franchise tag George Pickens, but long-term talks could be tense.

FantasyBroz Take:
Pickens has shown WR1 upside in spurts. A prolonged contract dispute could complicate his 2026 fantasy outlook.

Puka Nacua dominates 2025 season

Nacua averaged 107.2 yards per game in 2025.

FantasyBroz Take:
Fantasy’s WR1 overall lived up to every expectation. Nacua will be a top-three pick in most drafts this summer.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba finishes as WR2

JSN averaged 105.5 yards per game in 2025.

FantasyBroz Take:
Smith-Njigba’s workload and consistency make him a premium fantasy asset. Expect an early-round price tag in 2026 drafts.
