Marquise Brown Sliding Down Eagles' Depth Chart Following 2026 Draft

Monday, April 27, 9:48 AM

Veteran wide receiver Marquise Brown found a new home this offseason, latching on with the Philadelphia Eagles on a one-year contract for the 2026 campaign. Across 16 games with the Kansas City Chiefs in 2025, Brown recorded 49 receptions for 587 yards and five touchdowns on 74 targets. The Eagles are widely expected to trade away star wideout A.J. Brown within the next few months, which would obviously open up target opportunities for Brown. However, Philadelphia also recently used a first-round pick on USC wide receiver Makai Lemon in the 2026 Draft and traded for former Green Bay Packers wideout Dontayvion Wicks. As a result, Brown does not appear to be guaranteed a fantasy-relevant role in Philadelphia and might not even be fully assured of a roster spot. Heading into his age-29 season, Brown's dynasty value is fading fast.

Alec Pierce Underwent Offseason Ankle Surgery, Expected to Be Ready for Training Camp

Monday, April 20, 8:38 AM

Indianapolis Colts general manager Chris Ballard said that wide receiver Alec Pierce (ankle) underwent ankle surgery, per ESPN's Stephen Holder. Pierce reportedly played through pain in the ankle last season. The surgery will keep him from participating in OTAs, but Pierce should be ready to go for training camp. The 25-year-old had the best year of his career in 2025, recording 47 receptions for 1,003 yards and six touchdowns on 84 targets across 15 games. The Colts rewarded Pierce earlier this offseason with a four-year, $114 million extension. The team also traded away veteran wideout Michael Pittman Jr., which could mean Pierce will be expected to expand his route tree beyond his usual downfield role. While it sounds as though Pierce should have a normal training camp, this ankle ailment will be something for fantasy managers to monitor heading into 2026.
