Jahan Dotson (WR - PHI)

Hollywood Brown agrees to one-year deal with Eagles.
Takes over for Jahan Dotson in No.3 wideout role
Eagles announced they agreed to terms on a one-year deal with WR Hollywood Brown. (Adam Schefter on X)
FF Today's Take: The Eagles lost Jahan Dotson in free agency to the Falcons so Brown will fill the void as the Eagles No.3 receiver behind A.J. Brown (trade?) and DeVonta Smith. Hollywood played a rotational role with the Chiefs last season finishing with a 49-587-5 line. Assuming A.J. Brown sticks with the Eagles, Hollywood can be avoided in redraft leagues in 2026.Source:

Patrick Mahomes (QB - KC)

3/16/26 11:34 AM -
Chiefs reportedly trade for Jets quarterback Fields with Mahomes’s return date uncertain.
The New York Jets have reportedly agreed to a trade that will send quarterback Justin Fields to the Kansas City Chiefs as a backup for the injured Patrick Mahomes.
The Jets will receive a sixth-round draft pick in 2027 for Fields and pick up $7m of his guaranteed $10m salary for this upcoming season. The deal, first reported by ESPN, is pending a physical.
The 27-year-old signed a two-year, $40m deal – with $30m guaranteed – with New York last March and was the starter for most of the season until he was benched in favor of Tyrod Taylor in Week 12. He didn’t play another game for the Jets, ending the season on injured reserve with a knee injury.
Fields went 2-7 as the Jets’ starter with seven touchdowns and only one interception for 1,259 yards. He threw for fewer than 55 yards in four games, including a season-low 27 in a loss to Buffalo in Week 2.

Patrick Mahomes recovering from ACL injury
More about the Jets finalizing a trade that would send quarterback Justin Fields to the Chiefs in exchange for a 2027 sixth-round pick. (Adam Schefter on X)
FF Today's Take: The Chiefs needs some insurance to begin the 2026 season as Patrick Mahomes is currently rehabbing an ACL injury suffered in mid-December. Even if he's ready for Week 1, it's unlikely he'll be at 100 percent. Fields had a season to forget with the Jets in 2025 but will get a lot of work with the No.1 offense this pre-season and could make a couple starts to be begin 2026 for the Chiefs. However, his season-long outlook in redraft leagues is minimal.Source:
