Brandon Aiyuk News
Wednesday, March 11, 8:38 AM
With the new league year starting on Wednesday, the San Francisco 49ers plan to release wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk (knee), according to Nick Wagoner of ESPN. If the move to release Aiyuk doesn't come on Wednesday, it should be soon. The Washington Commanders are the most likely landing spot for Aiyuk, most likely on a one-year, prove-it deal. The Niners are expected to use a post-June 1 designation on Aiyuk's release, which is why they had to wait until the start of the new league year. The former first-rounder will leave behind $13.325 million in dead-cap money in 2026 and $21.247 million in 2027, with the 49ers getting a credit of $4.987 million towards next year's salary cap. Aiyuk didn't make it far after signing a four-year, $120 million contract with San Fran in August of 2024, as he played in only seven games that year before suffering a season-ending knee injury. He didn't play at all in 2025 and will be a big unknown in fantasy football in Washington or wherever he ends up.

Romeo Doubs News
Wednesday, March 11, 8:04 AM
The New England Patriots agreed to a four-year, $68 million deal with former Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs on Wednesday, and The Athletic's Chad Graff believes he "can make up for a lot of the production over the middle" that former receiver Stefon Diggs brought in 2025. Doubs can also play on the outside and should help New England's red-zone woes (20 of his 23 career touchdowns have come in the red zone). Doubs is only 25 years old and also thrives on the deep ball, which has become a specialty for quarterback Drake Maye. Diggs finished the regular season last year with 1,017 receiving yards and four touchdowns. In Green Bay, Doubs had 724 receiving yards and six touchdowns on 55 receptions in 16 regular-season games. It's certainly a great landing spot for Doubs' fantasy value going into 2026, but his true ceiling will depend on what else the Pats do at the position in free agency, via trade, and in the NFL draft in April.
