A.J. Brown News
Friday, March 6, 5:44 AM
The Los Angeles Chargers are "another team keeping tabs on the situation" involving Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown this offseason, sources told Dianna Russini of The Athletic. The Eagles are "holding firm on their steep asking price," though, and Russini also reports that "no team has made an official offer" to the Eagles. The New England Patriots "have poked around on it," and the Baltimore Ravens have also been mentioned as a potential landing spot for Brown if the Eagles decide to deal him. The Buffalo Bills were another team that could be a fit for Brown, but that may not be the case after they agreed to trade for receiver DJ Moore on Thursday. Despite being unhappy with his role in the offense last year in Philly, Brown still managed 78 receptions for 1,003 yards and seven touchdowns in 15 regular-season games to reach the 1,000-yard mark for the fourth straight year. A move out of Philly won't necessarily mean more production for fantasy football managers.

Khalil Shakir News
Thursday, March 5, 7:35 AM
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir has led the team in targets and receiving yards in each of the past two seasons, but given the team's reported acquisition of Bears receiver DJ Moore via trade, that streak is likely to come to an end in 2026. Shakir has been a fantasy-relevant depth piece over the past two seasons, largely due to his safe, volume-dependent floor while the Bills struggled to find an Alpha receiver to fill the shoes of Stefon Diggs, who last played for the Bills in 2023. In Moore, they appear to have found that Alpha. While Shakir and Moore do play complementary games, and the spacing provided by a true outside threat could help Shakir see more spike games, his reliable floor will likely become a thing of the past, making him a difficult-to-trust weekly play moving forward.
