Deebo Samuel Sr. News
Wednesday, March 18, 6:29 AM
Free agent wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. remains unsigned after one week of free agency. While teams and players can take as much time as they need to negotiate, today's style of free agency places a strong emphasis on bidding wars within the first few days of the legal tampering window. Therefore, it's a bit surprising that Samuel remains unsigned, and even more surprising that we haven't heard many rumors about where he might end up. The Miami Dolphins are one potential landing spot, given that they said goodbye to both Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle this offseason. He might not be a real playoff contender there, but Samuel's rushing ability and short-route success would fit a system that's expected to run the ball a lot with Malik Willis and De'Von Achane. Some contenders that could benefit from Samuel's skills and veteran experience include the Panthers, Patriots, Chiefs, Ravens, or Eagles. We can't rule out a return to Washington, either. He's coming off a modest 2025 campaign in which he totaled 72 catches, 727 receiving yards, 75 rushing yards, and six total touchdowns.

Brian Thomas Jr. News
Sunday, March 29, 10:49 AM
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. has seen his name floated in trade rumors since last season's trade deadline, despite repeated claims from the front office that they are not shopping their former first-round pick following a disappointing second season. After making 87 catches for 1,282 yards and 10 touchdowns as a rookie, Thomas was held to 707 yards and two scores on only 48 receptions in 2025. Regardless of where he plays in 2026, he could be viewed as a buy-low candidate. Stuck in a muddled receiver room after a down year, he is currently being drafted as a low-end WR2 in dynasty startups, less than a year after topping out as a top-five receiver in most dynasty circles. The talent he displayed both in college and as a rookie is real, though motivation issues have hounded him since his time at LSU. Should he remain in Jacksonville, Thomas has the explosive playmaking abilities to regain the most fantasy-relevant role on the team, while a new home and a fresh start would likely also see his value spike.
