Joe Flacco: Makes 10 starts during 2025 season
Wednesday, February 4, 2026 7:22 PM
Flacco completed 251 of 416 passes for 2,479 yards, 15 touchdowns and 10 interceptions across 13 regular-season games, including 10 starts, during the 2025 season.
Flacco opened the 2025 campaign as the Browns' Week 1 starter but led Cleveland to a 1-3 record and was benched following Week 4 after completing just 58.1 percent of his passes with a miserable 2:6 TD:INT. Flacco was then traded to the division-rival Bengals ahead of Week 6 after Joe Burrow suffered an early-season turf-toe injury. Flacco went on to make six starts for the Bengals and appeared in nine total games for Cincinnati, completing 61.7 percent of his throws with 13 touchdowns to just four interceptions. Flacco was actually fantasy's overall QB9 from Weeks 6 to 12 as the Bengals' starter. Now 41 years old, it's unclear if the free-agent-to-be is interested in continuing his playing career in 2026.

Jahdae Walker: Productive at end of rookie season
Wednesday, February 4, 2026 7:12 PM
Walker caught six of 10 targets for 87 yards and two touchdowns across nine regular-season games during the 2025 season.
Walker made the team out of training camp as an undrafted free agent out of Texas A&M. He played a total of eight offensive snaps through Week 14, but Rome Odunze dealt with a foot injury at the end of the regular season, opening the door for Walker to get some run with Caleb Williams. He made the most of his chances and caught the game-tying touchdown with 24 seconds left in the fourth quarter in Week 16 against the Packers. Walker caught another score in the Week 18 loss to Detroit. After a productive close to the season, Walker should have a leg up as a reserve wideout entering the 2026 offseason.

Roschon Johnson: Plays four snaps on offense in 2025
Wednesday, February 4, 2026 7:08 PM
Johnson rushed two times for seven yards across seven regular-season appearances during the 2025 season.
Johnson dealt with a foot injury during training camp and the preseason and almost immediately fell behind rookie Kyle Monangai as the backup to D'Andre Swift. Monangai never gave the gig back, and Johnson played a total of four offensive snaps during the regular season before being sent to injured reserve with a thumb injury in November. Johnson is signed through the 2026 season, but he's likely going to be in a fight for a roster spot next summer after failing to earn any playing time under Ben Johnson's coaching staff in 2025.

David Moore: Catches one pass in 2025
Wednesday, February 4, 2026 6:56 PM
Moore caught his lone target for five yards across four regular-season appearances during the 2025 season.
After posting a 32-351-3 receiving line on 57 targets across all 17 regular-season contests, including five starts, during the 2024 campaign, Moore was relegated to strict reserve duties this season. Now 31 years old, Moore is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent next month.

Andy Dalton: Attempts 37 passes in 2025
Wednesday, February 4, 2026 6:28 PM
Dalton completed 25 of 37 passes for 293 yards, one touchdown and one interception across four regular-season appearances during the 2025 season.
Dalton made one start in place of an injured Bryce Young in Week 8 against the Bills but guided the offense to just nine points in a 40-9 blowout loss. Dalton will turn 39 years old later this year and is under contract through the 2026 campaign at a reasonable $3.9 million salary. He should be back as Young's backup next season.

Terrell Jennings: Practice window closes
Wednesday, February 4, 2026 5:40 PM
Jennings' (hamstring) 21-day practice window closed Wednesday, and he will not play in Sunday's Super Bowl against the Seahawks, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
With Jennings ineligible to play against Seattle, it signals that D'Ernest Johnson will likely be elevated from the practice squad to serve as the Patriots' RB3 behind Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson. Jennings appeared in seven regular-season games this season, rushing 23 times for 73 yards and one touchdown.

Terrace Marshall: Inks deal with Miami
Wednesday, February 4, 2026 5:09 PM
Marshall signed a reserve/future contract with the Dolphins on Wednesday.
Marshall will turn 26 years old in June and spent the 2025 campaign bouncing off and on the Eagles' practice squad without appearing in a regular-season contest. The 59th overall pick of the 2021 Draft by Carolina, Marshall enters a Miami wideout room devoid of proven depth behind Tyreek Hill (knee) and Jaylen Waddle.

Malik Willis: Expected to depart in free agency
Wednesday, February 4, 2026 2:11 PM
Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst said Wednesday that the team expects Willis to depart in free agency and land with a team that will allow him to compete, at a minimum, for a starting job, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Willis will become an unrestricted free agent in March due to the expiration of his rookie contract. Given how well he played in relief of Jordan Love across his two seasons with the Packers, all expectations are that the 2022 third-round pick will be highly sought by quarterback-needy teams. Across 11 combined regular-season appearances between 2024 and 2025, Willis completed 70 of 89 pass attempts (78 percent) for 972 yards, six touchdowns and zero interceptions. He also rushed 42 times for 261 yards and another three scores. Despite Willis' success and development in coach Matt LaFleur's offense, he will likely pursue greater opportunities with another franchise. As such, Willis stands as a high-upside, under-the-radar trade target, specially in dynasty fantasy formats and those that allow multiple starting quarterbacks.

Drake Maye: Throws Monday, unconcerned about shoulder
Monday, February 2, 2026 9:05 PM
Maye (shoulder) said he threw "a good bit" Monday and indicated that he "felt great," Zack Cox of the Boston Herald reports.
Maye was deemed questionable on last Friday's injury report due to both a right shoulder issue and an illness, though there have been no suggestions that the star quarterback is at any risk of missing Super Bowl LX this Sunday versus Seattle. He indicated Monday that he threw as much as he would in a typical practice and that he came out of the session with no concerns, emphasizing that he'll "be fine" for the title game. Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels echoed that sentiment, saying that Maye won't have any limitations placed on him as a result of the shoulder issue, per Phil Perry of NBC Sports Boston. Maye logged an LP/LP/DNP practice progression last week, but his absence Friday was attributed primarily to the illness he was dealing with. His participation level in practice this week will provide more insight into the extent (if any) that the shoulder issue will be managed.

Brandin Cooks: Gets expanded role with Buffalo
Monday, February 2, 2026 7:54 PM
Cooks appeared in 15 regular-season contests with the Saints (10 games) and Bills (five) in 2025 and caught 24 passes (on 36 targets) for 279 yards.
Cooks saw four targets or less in nine of his 10 games with the Saints. He requested a trade from New Orleans but was not moved by the trade deadline, which prompted the Saints to waive the veteran wideout in mid-November. Cooks opted to finish the year off with Buffalo, and his Bills tenure was highlighted by his performance in a Week 17 loss against the Eagles in which he caught four passes (on six targets) for 101 yards. Injuries to the Bills' pass-catching corps resulted in Cooks stepping into a larger role on offense during the postseason, when he logged five catches (on 11 targets) for 78 yards in two games. The 2014 first-round pick will enter the offseason as an unrestricted free agent.
