DJ Moore News
Thursday, March 5, 7:24 AM
Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze has shown brilliant flashes throughout his first two seasons, but he has yet to capitalize on the potential that made him the ninth overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. With teammate DJ Moore now being shipped to Buffalo via trade, the door is wide open for him claim the WR1 spot in Ben Johnson's fantasy-friendly offense. Despite missing five games in 2025, Odunze led the Bears in targets, and along with Moore was one of four players to top 600 receiving yards. With Moore's 80 regular-season targets likely to be distributed between Odunze and promising second-year players Luther Burden III and tight end Colston Loveland, all should see a boost in productivity, and will likely all see their dynasty cost rise dramatically.

Michael Pittman Jr. News
Tuesday, March 10, 7:19 AM
The Athletic's Mike DeFabo believes that newly acquired wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr., a player with good size (6-foot-4, 223 pounds), physicality, and pedigree, will be a good fit with the Pittsburgh Steelers. If the Steelers re-sign quarterback Aaron Rodgers, the 42-year-old future Hall of Famer "seems to prefer veterans who understand the nuances of route running, how to read coverages and what it takes to prepare for an opponent." Pittman, who should slot in as the No. 2 behind DK Metcalf, "checks a lot of those boxes." The 28-year-old will receive a new three-year, $59 million contract with the Steelers after being acquired from the Indianapolis Colts on Monday. Pittman did lead the Colts with 80 catches last year and had a career-best seven touchdowns, but his yardage total (784) was down for a second straight season. His 2026 fantasy value hinges on whether Rodgers returns for another season in Pittsburgh.
