Courtney Jackson WR | NYG
Giants' Courtney Jackson: Signs with Giants
The Giants signed Jackson to a reserve/future contract Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Jackson spent the 2025 season on Seattle's practice squad after joining the team in late August. Though the undrafted rookie did not see regular-season action in 2025, he showed promise as a punt returner towards the end of his college career at Arkansas. The 24-year-old will participate in New York's offseason activities and could see a role on special teams should he find a spot on the active roster in 2026.

Joe Flacco QB | CIN
Bengals' Joe Flacco: Wants to continue playing
Flacco recently told the Ross Tucker Football Podcast that he wants to continue his NFL career and will target the best opportunities for playing time.
In other words, Flacco won't be any hurry to re-sign with Cincinnati as Joe Burrow's backup, even though ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports that the Bengals are interested in keeping the 41-year-old. If he can't find a chance to compete for a starting job, Flacco suggested that he may remain a free agent deep into the summer, waiting for injuries and/or benchings that open up job oppotunities.

Terry McLaurin WR | WAS
Commanders' Terry McLaurin: Headed for more volume in 2026?
New Commanders offensive coordinator David Blough wants McLaurin to get "10 targets a game," according to UWSA9's John Doran.
"This thing's going to be built around how do we get [McLaurin] 10 targets a game," said Blough. "And get [McLaurin] explosive receptions after explosive receptions to kind of flip the field." It sounds promising from a fantasy standpoint, but McLaurin has reached eight targets per game just once in his seven NFL seasons (8.9 in 2020). He finished 2025 with career lows for games played (10), targets per game (6.0) and yards per game (58.2), among other statistics, though he also averaged 9.7 YPT and had a career-high 61.7 percent success rate on targets. There's a strong enough bounce-back argument for 2026, even if the volume mentioned by Blough is unrealistic.

Stefon Diggs WR | NE
Patriots' Stefon Diggs: Pleads not guilty
Diggs pleaded not guilty Friday to criminal charges stemming from an alleged dispute Dec. 2 with his personal chef, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Diggs' attorney said the wide receiver "categorically denies" the allegations, which include a charge of felony strangulation. Diggs' arraignment was postponed until after the Super Bowl to allow him to play in the game. Following his Friday arraignment, Diggs is next scheduled to appear April 1 for a pretrial hearing.

Jamaree Caldwell DT | LAC
Chargers' Jamaree Caldwell: Solid impact as rookie
Caldwell recorded 31 tackles (14 solo) with 1.0 sack, one pass defensed and one forced fumble across 17 regular-season games in 2025.
The Chargers selected Caldwell in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft, and he went on to play 485 defensive snaps in his rookie season. He primarily functioned as a run stuffer, which he did effectively, and he should at least maintain a comparable role in 2026. While Caldwell was a key member of the Chargers defense, his fantasy intrigue is minimal due to his lack of production as a pass rusher.

Benjamin St-Juste CB | GB
Chargers' Benjamin St-Juste: Role slips significantly
St-Juste recorded 37 tackles (22 solo), seven passes defensed and one interception across 16 regular-season games with the Chargers in 2025.
St-Juste joined the Chargers on a modest one-year deal prior to the 2025 season. He filled a depth role in the secondary, with his 355 defensive snaps marking his fewest since his rookie campaign. On the other hand, St. Juste did well when tested by opposing quarterbacks, so he may get a slightly larger deal this offseason with the chance to earn more of a defensive role in 2026.

Denzel Perryman MLB | LAC
Chargers' Denzel Perryman: Records 47 tackles in 10 games
Perryman concluded the 2025 regular season with 47 tackles (30 solo) and three pass breakups in 10 appearances.
The inside linebacker missed five games with an ankle injury and two more due to a suspension stemming from a Week 16 hit on Cowboys receiver Ryan Flournoy. Perryman did start all 10 games he played in as well as the Chargers' playoff matchup with the Patriots. The veteran has played on one-year deals for each of the last three seasons, and he is set to become a free agent again.

Cam Hart CB | LAC
Chargers' Cam Hart: Breaks up 11 passes
Hart finished the 2025 regular season with 48 tackles (37 solo) and 11 pass breakups, including one interception, across 16 games.
The second-year corner didn't always start (six times) in 2025, but he did usually play, seeing the field for more than 50 percent of the defensive snaps in 14 of his 16 appearances. Hart took on a similar role as a rookie in 2024, finishing the regular season with 37 tackles (28 solo) and seven pass breakups. The 2024 fifth-round pick has two years left on his rookie deal.

Elijah Molden CB | LAC
Chargers' Elijah Molden: Plays starting role again
Molden finished the 2025 regular season with 52 tackles (28 solo) and an interception in 12 games, all of them starts.
The safety started 12 of 15 regular-season games for the Chargers a year ago, his first season with the team. With two years left on the three-year deal he signed last February, Molden appears to be a part of the team's plans for 2026 as well.

Troy Dye LB | LAC
Chargers' Troy Dye: Records 58 tackles
Dye finished the 2025 regular season with 58 tackles (28 solo), including 1.0 sacks, four pass breakups, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in 16 games.
The inside linebacker also made two tackles (one solo) in the Chargers' playoff loss to the Patriots. Dye made seven starts in his 16 regular-season appearances. In each of the last two campaigns with the Chargers, he has finished with more than 50 tackles, but he has yet to secure a consistent starting role.
