Treylon Burks News
Friday, March 6, 6:26 PM
Washington Commanders wide receiver Treylon Burks is returning to the team on a one-year contract, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. The deal can pay Burks up to $4 million in 2026. It's a solid second deal for Burks, who is a former first-round pick and did not have his fifth-year option picked up. Through three years in Tennessee and one in Washington, he caught just 63 passes for 829 yards and a pair of touchdowns. He has not yet lived up to the hype attached to his draft capital, especially since he was once supposed to be the Titans' one-for-one replacement for A.J. Brown. Still, getting a deal for the 2026 season before free agency even begins is an encouraging sign that Burks still has a role in Washington's offense going forward. With that being said, though, he's not on the redraft or dynasty radar at the moment.

Alec Pierce News
Tuesday, March 10, 9:54 AM
The early projection is "eight to 10" targets a game for Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce in 2026, according to Stephen Holder of ESPN. The Colts re-signed Pierce on Monday to a four-year, $116 million contract after he led the team with 1,003 receiving yards and six touchdowns on 47 receptions in 2025. Sources say that the 25-year-old turned down offers from other teams that would have surpassed his deal with the Colts by a "substantive amount." Pierce preferred familiarity and to keep his connection going with quarterback Daniel Jones (Achilles). The Colts traded away Michael Pittman Jr. on Monday, too, so Pierce will be Indy's unquestioned No. 1 wideout in 2026 after his breakout performance last season. Posting a second straight 1,000-yard season might not be easy, but Pierce has solidified himself as a big-play threat for fantasy managers after leading the NFL in yards per catch in each of the last two seasons.
