Stefon Diggs News
Thursday, March 12, 11:35 AM
New England Patriots executive vice president Eliot Wolf hasn't completely shut the door on a potential return for free-agent wide receiver Stefon Diggs, according to Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald. The Patriots officially released Diggs at the start of the new league year on Wednesday to free up salary cap space for the 2026 season, but they aren't opposed to re-signing him to a new deal despite signing former Green Bay Packers wideout Romeo Doubs earlier this week. The 32-year-old veteran is probably past his prime, but he still managed to lead the Patriots in receiving in 2025 with 85 catches on 102 targets for 1,013 yards and four touchdowns in 17 regular-season starts. It was Diggs' seventh time reaching the 1,000-yard mark in his 11 NFL seasons. New England continues to discuss a potential trade for Eagles receiver A.J. Brown, too, but reuniting with Diggs would be the cheaper option and also wouldn't involve giving up significant draft capital. The four-time Pro Bowler would most likely have a smaller role in the passing game for the Pats if he were to return in 2026.

Troy Franklin News
Monday, March 16, 4:45 AM
Denver Broncos wide receiver Troy Franklin enjoyed a second-year breakout in 2025, but he's not stopping there. The 23-year-old Oregon product continues to trend upward, and he should have an even larger role in the Broncos' offense next season. As Denver continues to demonstrate the strengths of its offense, we expect that not only will Franklin see a consistently large dose of targets, but those targets will be valuable. In other words, he'll have the opportunity to make plays downfield and score touchdowns in this high-powered offense, rather than settle for lower-value receptions. For a better understanding of Franklin's floor, we can look at his 104 targets, 65 catches, 709 yards, and six touchdowns from 2025. He was the WR31 in PPR leagues, and there were several occasions where he out-produced Courtland Sutton. With Sutton getting older, we could see the Broncos make an effort to redistribute some of the veteran's workload to Franklin in 2026. That would bode well for his outlook in both redraft and dynasty leagues, ranking as a top-30 receiver option in both formats.
