Patrick Mahomes (+150) Kyler Murray (+550) Micah Parsons (+1000) Malik Nabers (+1000) Daniel Jones (+1600) Nick Bosa (+1900) Fred Warner (+1900) Tucker Kraft (+2500) George Kittle (+2500) Travis Hunter (+2700) Cam Skattebo (+2700) Brock Bowers (+3000) Garrett Wilson (+3300) Trey Hendrickson (+3500) Sam LaPorta (+4000) Geno Smith (+4000) Quinshon Judkins (+4000) Malik Willis (+4000) Tua Tagovailoa (+4000) Concussion history aside, Tua Tagovailoa will really benefit from a change of scenery. Heading into a one-year contract with the Atlanta Falcons , the former fifth overall pick will have a leg up on Michael Penix Jr. in training camp, as Penix continues to recover from the partially torn ACL he suffered a year ago. Tua spent three consecutive years from 2022–2024 leading the league in either passer rating, passing yards, or completion percentage, and landing in an offense featuring Bijan Robinson , Drake London , and Kyle Pitts could give the Falcons quarterback production similar to his best days under Mike McDaniel. Tagovailoa will also escape the cold conditions of the AFC East, no longer having to play in Buffalo or Foxborough, instead spending half his time indoors at home in Mercedes-Benz Stadium, along with favorable environments in New Orleans and Tampa Bay. If anything, Tagovailoa should feel like he's back in his SEC college days.

Tight end Luke Lachey, whom the Green Bay Packers picked up off waivers on Tuesday , had his physical failed by the team on Thursday and is now a free agent. Lachey, a Y tight end, was the type of tight end that the Packers’ room was missing. After the draft, general manager Brian Gutekunst admitted that the team was looking for an inline tight end, but that value didn’t present itself. Lachey didn’t have a failed physical designation when he was waived by the Houston Texans, who drafted him in the seventh round of the 2025 draft. This is the second tight end for whom the Packers have failed a physical this offseason, after undrafted rookie Eni Falayi failed a physical upon reporting with the team. Currently, Green Bay ’s tight end room is comprised of Tucker Kraft , Luke Musgrave , Josh Whyle , Drake Dabney, Messiah Swinson and RJ Maryland . The Packers have an open roster spot moving forward. In other news, rookie second-round pick cornerback Brandon Cisse has signed his contract, meaning all of the team’s draft picks are now signed. Former Green Bay defensive tackle James Ester, who was waived yesterday to make room for the waiver claim of receiver Brenden Rice — Jerry Rice’s son — was claimed by the Miami Dolphins
Despite flashes of potential, Jayden Reed's fantasy production has been limited by his role and a crowded receiver room in Green Bay. While the departure of Romeo Doubs opens a theoretical door, competition from Christian Watson, Tucker Kraft, and Matthew Golden could keep Reed's target share low. His dynasty value reflects this uncertainty, with his upside capped by inconsistent usage
Jordan Love's dynasty upside may be fading due to a run-heavy offense and diminished pass-catchers
Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft (knee) is still an intriguing dynasty option as he works his way back from a torn ACL. Kraft ranked as the overall TE1 in PPR leagues last year before suffering the season-ending injury in Week 9. He had carved out a prominent role in the Packers' offense, emerging as Jordan Love's favorite target over an uninspiring group of wide receivers. We could see Kraft have an equally large workload in 2026, especially after the Packers traded away Dontayvion Wicks and watched Romeo Doubs depart in free agency. Health is the biggest concern for Kraft, and while it seems like he should be ready for the season opener, it's unclear if the effects of his recovery will have any impact on his mobility or production. We wouldn't be surprised if he picks up right where he left off, and even if he isn't the TE1 overall, he certainly has top-five value at the tight end position going forward. Given that Kraft has tremendous upside and is just 25 years old, he's a very appealing option in dynasty fantasy football leagues. The aforementioned ACL tear has dropped his price in dynasty trade talks, so managers might be able to buy low on Kraft this offseason
