Nate Tice & Charles McDonald join forces to answer the NFL offseason’s biggest looming questions submitted by the audience. The duo start off by diving into the New York Giants’ potential NFL Draft plans with the 5th overall pick, how the Chicago Bears can fix their defensive line and whether or not Brian Daboll is a good fit with QB Cam Ward as the new Tennessee Titans OC.

Next, Nate & Charles discuss whether or not the Los Angeles Chargers can fix their offensive line in one offseason, if the Jacksonville Jaguars defense can take a leap next season, who the Denver Broncos should be targeting in free agency (Tyler Allgeier?) and what our expectations for the 2026 Washington Commanders should look like.
Later, the two hosts wrap up with thoughts on the New England Patriots’ upcoming offseason decisions, why Sean McVay changed to a duo run game style with the Los Angeles Rams, whether Sean McDermott was really the problem with the Buffalo Bills and more.

With the college football season complete, the 2026 NFL scouting combine is the last major chance draft prospects have to make an impact on NFL teams.
Over the course of a few weeks, prospects will take part in interviews and on-field drills, all with the goal of convincing an NFL team they are worth a draft pick. While some players head into the event knowing they’ll get drafted no matter how they perform, a few players will see their status rise dramatically after delivering standout physical displays.

For NFL fans who don’t follow college football with the same amount of fervor, the NFL combine provides football fans an early glimpse at future NFL stars. Want to see if that quarterback prospect actually has a cannon for an arm, or if that wideout really as fast as everyone says? This is the opportunity for both fans and NFL teams to find that out.
Follow along as Yahoo Sports provides updates of the 2026 NFL scouting combine, including the latest rumors, news and standout performances during the event.

Maybe it’s the quarterback chaos or the landslide of head coaching changes. Or because it’s late February and many of the NFL’s personnel departments already seem satisfied that the No. 1 overall pick in the draft is in the barn. Or maybe it’s because the 2025 season produced a wildly unexpected Super Bowl between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots, and an even more unexpected Super Bowl quarterback winner in Sam Darnold.
Whatever the driving force, it’s thrusting the usual sideshow of the NFL scouting combine — trade rumors, free-agency buzz and clandestine general manager meetings — into the middle of the main stage. And with that, the college players who are taking their next big step toward draft positioning have become a subplot.
“It’s going to be a wild offseason and it’s going to start next week [at the combine],” one prominent NFL agent said this week. “There’s so much more than usual with different veteran stuff compared to how guys are going to work out — and we have a good class of guys [in the draft]. All the quarterback things to figure out, some of the [veteran] defensive players — some of the young players that could be traded with the staff changes — there’s going to be a lot going on.”
Fantasy football never ends. Over the next two months, teams will be reshaped in free agency and the NFL Draft, while fantasy draft boards begin to take their own shape. Analyst Joel Smyth goes over the five players who will define the offseason and shape the 2026 fantasy football season.
Jeremiyah Love (rookie)
The top rookie running back has finished as a fantasy failure in three consecutive seasons, certainly setting up Jeremiyah Love to be a hot topic of discussion this August. One of the primary reasons talented rookie RBs have failed, especially in recent years, is due to landing spots. Ashton Jeanty was a prime example last season. However, the historical track record remains strong and can bounce back if Love lands in a favorable location.
Advertisement
Since 2015, 12 of 15 first-round RBs have finished in the top 24 of fantasy football in Year 1. They may not always live up to high expectations, but even Bijan Robinson and Ashton Jeanty were RB2s immediately. Love is expected to be drafted inside the top 12 in fantasy, a spot where the last eight RBs drafted there have averaged 17.3 PPR PPG, with the last two (Robinson and Jeanty) being the worst of the bunch. Recency bias could be in our favor when it comes to how late Love is drafted. The Notre Dame prospect is versatile, explosive and young. At 20 years old, Love only has 433 career carries while adding an impressive 63 receptions in college.
The best news may come from the NFL teams Love is projected to be drafted by. As of now, the clear top two in most likely landing spots are just inside the top 10 picks of the NFL Draft: the New Orleans Saints and Kansas City Chiefs. Prior to the disaster of last season, the Chiefs ranked 10th in RB fantasy points in the Mahomes era. The Saints aren’t too bad themselves, as Kellen Moore’s offense makes it an under-the-radar spot. In three of his last five seasons, Moore’s RBs have scored inside the top six in fantasy points at the end of the year.
Malik Willis, UFA (Green Bay Packers)
Every year, a rushing quarterback being selected late in fantasy drafts turns into a game-changer. Last season was Drake Maye, with Jaxson Dart coming off waivers as well. It looked as if there might be zero options to choose from in 2026, unless Malik Willis were to land in a starting spot during free agency.
Advertisement
The Packers’ fill-in quarterback led the NFL in designed rush rate and scramble rate in his small sample of 60 plays. It may not have been much, but combined with his aggressive downfield throwing style, Willis averaged the most fantasy points per snap among QBs. The most likely landing spots are Arizona (with his current head coach’s brother) or Miami, each providing a good amount of potential.
Kyle Pitts Sr., UFA (Atlanta Falcons)
Kyle Pitts Sr. will be heavily discussed in fantasy until the end of time. Backed by a monster 166-yard, 3-TD day, the breakout at the end of 2025 is one of the reasons that the Falcons TE an intriguing draft pick once again.
Advertisement
The other reason is that he may not be a Falcons TE for much longer.
Pitts is the top TE in free agency this March, with Atlanta still an option to re-sign the former top-five NFL Draft pick. Incoming head coach Kevin Stefanski has a strong history with tight ends in recent years, producing a fantasy TE1 in PPG for three consecutive years. The Browns used a versatile piece in Harold Fannin Jr. last year right out the gate, as Cleveland ranked second in TE target share with plenty of 2-TE sets.
The positive of leaving Atlanta, however, is the overall upside. The Falcons are a generally safe return. The issue with staying is that Atlanta’s quarterback situation is below average and Pitts is rarely the focal point of the offense. When Pitts was the focal point — aka, in games without Drake London — he averaged 15.5 half-PPR fantasy PPG.

Travis Etienne Jr., UFA
After returning to RB1 status in 2025, Travis Etienne Jr. may have to attempt a repeat somewhere other than Jacksonville. I’d argue that’s not so bad. Although he had an incredible season, it came via shocking touchdown success and benefited from injury. His 11.5% TD per target last season was the best by an RB since 2022. And to answer the question, “Well, can’t he score six receiving touchdowns again?” Yes, but unlikely, as he had one over his first three career seasons.
Bhayshul Tuten won’t make Etienne suddenly irrelevant, but he takes a larger chunk out of his game than I believe people perceive. Even in PPR leagues, which favor Etienne, his PPG dropped from 16.9 to 12.1 in the seven games where Tuten played 25%+ of the snaps. The rookie RB was a significant contributor when healthy, scoring five goal-line touchdowns to Etienne’s one in games played together.
Advertisement
With Liam Coen in 2024, Tampa Bay ranked second in RB fantasy points (16th in 2025), still making Jacksonville a good spot for Etienne to end up, but it could get better. The projected landing spots are similar to Love: New Orleans, Kansas City and the Houston Texans added in. All three would likely come with better volume and scoring upside. If he returns to Jacksonville, I’d project a lower RB2 fantasy season, while being potentially a top-10 back elsewhere.
Emeka Egbuka, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The most polarizing pick in fantasy drafts this season will all but certainly be Emeka Egbuka. The pros are still there! Tampa Bay played against the hardest fantasy WR schedule in the NFL, Egbuka had the lowest catchable target rate in the league as Baker Mayfield fought through injuries but he still shone early, averaging 18 fantasy points in his first five career games. The downside is how it ended.
With the Bucs WRs back healthy, Egbuka was left behind, running just over 50% of routes in the last month of the season as he was consistently unable to connect with his QB. The upside is still there, especially if 32-year-old Mike Evans leaves in free agency, with Egbuka scoring a couple more PPG in Evan’s absence last season.
Welcome back to The Playlist: my weekly column that lets you know who to add off the waiver wire and get in your lineup for the upcoming week in fantasy basketball.
Every league is different — sometimes a 75% rostered player hits waivers, whether by mistake or because they’ve hit an intolerable slump. If they fit your build, get ’em. But for this column, we’re focusing on players under 50% rostered who can help you win in Week 18 or beyond.

Jackson is an easy must-add across all leagues. The Grizzlies are extremely thin in the frontcourt, which has opened a prime opportunity for Jackson to showcase his fantasy-friendly skill set. He’s scored at least 35 fantasy points in his last three outings, including a 47-point fantasy performance on Saturday. Whether he’s coming off the bench or starting, GG’s racking up counting stats across most categories and fantasy managers can trust him with four games this week. Ty Jerome is the other guy I’d add in High Score from the Grizz.
Advertisement
Reed Sheppard – G, Houston Rockets (38%)
The Rockets play four games, with three of them falling on lighter slates in Week 18. Sheppard has been more consistent in points leagues, averaging 14-3-4 with almost 2 stocks per game over his last five games. In that span, he’s scored at least 32 fantasy points in four of those contests. Now that the shot is falling, fantasy managers in shallow leagues should pick him up. The Rockets need someone to stretch the floor besides Kevin Durant, so if Sheppard’s efficiency holds, his minutes will start to climb above 25 per night.
Santos has been making an impact in fantasy since late January, averaging 15-5-4 with over 2 stocks per game in his previous 10 games. On Sunday, Golden State was without Steph Curry, Draymond Green and Kristaps Porziņģis. That became a role-player party, led by Santos, who has quietly been the Dubs’ most consistent player in February. Between his efficiency and attention to detail on the defensive end, he’ll continue filling up the box score for the short-handed Warriors.
🎧 Who’s in My Rotation:Deeper league adds
Cason Wallace – PG/SG/SF, Oklahoma City Thunder (27%)
Four games are on tap for the Thunder this week, plus Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams aren’t ready to play yet. Wallace had the first double-double of his career in Sunday’s win over the Cavs — the right momentum you’ll wanna take advantage of to start the week. I can see people wanting to pass this off as an outlier performance since he totaled 15 points in his previous three outings. But he’s still one of the best steal specialists in fantasy, and with more usage and shot volume, he’s worth streaming before the main guys return to the lineup.
Advertisement
Marvin Bagley III – PF/C, Dallas Mavericks (18%)
I see Bagley available in too many 12-teamers. He’s double-doubled in three of his last five contests, despite playing under 26 minutes in each of them. He’s the better player of the timeshare between him and Daniel Gafford, and fantasy managers need to add him with four games on deck in Week 18. Bagley has a good amount of runway with the Mavs nowhere close to contention and without Cooper Flagg (foot) for the time being.
Precious Achiuwa – PF/C, Sacramento Kings (14%)
Sacramento’s frontcourt is looking bleak at best, leaving Achiuwa to handle the interior for the floundering franchise. He was great in Week 17, ranking 51st in 9-cat, thanks to his diverse numbers on both ends of the floor. The Kings’ schedule is favorable, and playing minutes in the upper 20s are more than enough to sustain his value as a priority add in 12-team 9-cat or points leagues. There could be league-winning potential here.
Nique Clifford – SG/SF, Sacramento Kings (13%)
It’s good to see fantasy managers taking notice of Clifford’s expansive role. Given his shooting struggles, he’s been more valuable in points leagues than 9-cat formats. However, he’s played at least 30 minutes in six straight games, indicating he’s not going anywhere. Between the injuries on the wing and the Kings’ record, Clifford’s spot in the rotation looks secure. He offers some appeal for assists, rebounds and steals, but don’t discount his upside as he scored 30 a couple of weeks ago. The Kings play on Monday and Wednesday to begin Week 18, two lighter slates where his counting stats will be of use.
Advertisement
De’Anthony Melton – PG/SG, Golden State Warriors (11%)
As long as Steph Curry isn’t ready to play, Melton is a must-roster player. Those fighting for a playoff spot might want to leave Melton on the wire because he’s not playing back-to-backs (the Warriors have one on Tuesday and Wednesday) in a three-game week. But if you’re well-positioned for a playoff spot or a bye, don’t be concerned about Melton’s 25-minute restriction because he’ll stuff the stat sheet in points leagues while also being useful in 9-cat for points, 3s and steals.
Scotty Pippen Jr. – PG/SG, Memphis Grizzlies (9%)
Like his teammate GG, Pippen Jr. is a schedule-based add for Week 18. He finished 80th in 9-cat across Week 17, doing a mix of everything from scoring to dishing out six assists while generating 3 stocks per game. The Grizz have no back-to-backs, which is a plus for Pippen, who remains capped at around 20 minutes and hasn’t played in consecutive nights since returning in early February. Fantasy managers can also look at Ty Jerome in shallow leagues, plus Cam Spencer and Walter Clayton Jr. in deeper leagues.
Of utmost importance, make sure to review your fantasy baseball league format, scoring and roster settings to identify a draft plan. With different league sizes, scoring and formats, the draft market changes. The early themes of the fantasy baseball draft season involve injuries, starting pitchers going earlier and prospect hype. Meanwhile, we have league-wide data and trends to monitor, including Statcast data for all Spring Training parks and stolen bases skyrocketing in recent seasons.
Injuries, prospect news and more data will cause players to rise and fall in drafts, sometimes making them targets and fades. More advanced data in Spring Training may cause drafters to examine and decide how much to weigh the small sample. I tend to lean toward not having Spring Training data sway our draft decisions too heavily, especially after the lengthy offseason research. Use projections and review the market to identify potential inefficiencies, to identify breakouts and sleepers, to help win leagues.

Statcast Data in Spring Training
We’ve been spoiled in fantasy baseball, where we can find free advanced metrics on many websites like FanGraphs, Baseball Savant and more. However, that hasn’t been the case in Spring Training, with only some parks having Statcast data. Mike Petriello of MLB.com announced that Statcast data will be available in 2026 Spring Training games. That’s a game changer, but how and/or why?
The visual below shows the Statcast Game Feed Player Breakdown Feature with no Statcast from last Spring Training.
Last season, we didn’t have statcast data for Spring Training. Here’s an example of what those player cards looked like before.
Again, we’re spoiled. We’re used to using the Statcast Game Feed feature to find a pitcher’s arsenal, their movement profiles, exit velocity data and more. That will change how we evaluate Spring Training since we’ll be able to see whether certain pitchers had an increase in velocity or debuted a new pitch. Or we could find out if the offseason training for a hitter paid off with increased exit velocities and bat speed. We won’t have incomplete Statcast data from Spring Training, and theoretically, a larger sample of pitches, batted ball events and swings.

Here’s a look at the Statcast Game Feed from Spring Training with Statcast data:
Here’s a look at the updated player cards with statcast data from Spring Training.
There can, and will be, noise in Spring Training since we’re dealing with smaller samples and players might be working on certain skills and approaches to prepare for the upcoming season. These Spring Training games matter most for those fighting for a roster spot or players seeking an extension or more money. Though it will be exciting to have the Spring Training Statcast data, it’s important not to overreact to the noisy sample of 15 or 20 batted ball events. Overall, the Spring Training Statcast data will provide an additional data point to support or question the player thoughts we had before the 2026 season.
Starting Pitchers in Drafts
Regardless of the draft platform, we often see starting pitchers pushed up in drafts. That’s especially true in deeper formats where we’re chasing projected safety and upside. The first rule of fantasy baseball is knowing the rules, roster and scoring format to formulate your draft plan. If your league values starting pitchers, whether it be points, quality starts, wins or strikeouts, then it makes sense to target them earlier in drafts.
Advertisement
In most Yahoo formats, hitters are prioritized within the first several rounds. For context, 16 starting pitchers were drafted within the first five rounds (top-60 picks) of 12-team leagues. There were two relievers drafted in the top-60 picks, meaning 18 of the 60 players were pitchers. The draft market tells us to lean on hitting early to find potential draft values later at the starting pitcher position.
Since we’re in the age of stuff and whiffs for starting pitchers, the workload for high-end arms has reduced. Over the past five seasons, 2025 was the year with the fewest number of starting pitchers throwing 175 innings or more at 26 since 2021 (27). For context, 32 pitchers in 2024, 31 in 2023, and 35 in 2022 threw 175 innings or more. That should help recalibrate our expectations for high-end inning totals for starting pitchers.
Early Injuries and Prospect Hype
Hamate bone injuries took over the early headlines recently. Francisco Lindor, Corbin Carroll and Jackson Holliday all had surgery for the injury. It sounds like they’ll need around 6-8 weeks to recover, potentially missing Opening Day. That’s a major hit for Lindor and Carroll going within the first two rounds. Meanwhile, Holliday has been a top-150 pick in Yahoo leagues.
Advertisement
On the pitcher side, Cam Schlittler (back), Josh Hader (bicep inflammation) and Spencer Schwellenbach headlined the early injuries. More will come as players ramp up in camp and start playing in Spring Training. Don’t over-invest in injured players, especially in leagues without injured reserve spots. However, there are situations where it’s worth stashing injured players, assuming they have discounted prices.
Many drafters love prospects and small-sample success. Roman Anthony’s Yahoo ADP is around the top-50 picks (49.4), meaning fantasy managers will need to pay up for one of the top prospects in baseball. Most projection systems have Anthony with 18-20 home runs, nearly double-digit stolen bases, a .260 batting average and 160-170 runs plus RBI. Is that worth a top-50 pick? Maybe not, but we can dream of the power tools (75.1 mph bat speed) and above-average athleticism.
That said, take shots on prospects and lean into the uncertainty later in drafts. For instance, prospects and sleepers like Chase DeLauter, JJ Wetherholt, Tatsuya Imai, Jac Caglianone, Parker Messick, Jonah Tong and Konnor Griffin all go around or past pick 200. Other prospects of note include Justin Crawford and Kevin McGonigle.

Stolen Base Trends
With the new rules around base running in 2023, we’ve seen stolen bases increase. There have been over 3,400 stolen bases over the past three seasons, including 3,440 in 2025, 3,617 in 2024 and 3,503 in 2023. That’s the first time it was over 3,000 since 2012 (3,229). Eight teams saw an increase of 15 stolen bases in 2025 compared to 2024. When we filter by teams that stole over 100 bases in three consecutive seasons, the list of eight falls to three, including the Diamondbacks, Royals and Padres. The Orioles barely missed with over 100 stolen bases in 2023 and 2025, but 98 in 2024.
Here’s a look at teams that stole more bases year-over-year from 2024 to 2025.
Meanwhile, 10 teams had their stolen bases totals dip 15 or more in 2025 compared to 2024. Six teams saw a decline of 30 or more stolen bases in 2025, including the Red Sox, Angels, Dodgers, Marlins, Brewers and Nationals. This is where context matters because the Brewers and Nationals had the two highest stolen bases totals in 2024, and saw those numbers take a huge hit in 2025. Meanwhile, the Marlins possibly had an outlier season in 2025, with 2024 being an unusual season for the Angels, regarding stolen baes.
Here’s a look at teams that stole fewer bases year-over-year from 2024 to 2025.
Besides the team context, the players on those teams, their health and the team managers impact the trends. Stolen bases might be more plentiful, but we’ll still need to prioritize them in drafts. That’s especially true since we might need to have more stolen bases to win points in rotisserie leagues. However, if it’s a head-to-head categories or points league that doesn’t value stolen bases highly, then maybe it’s fine to devalue players with stolen base upside.

Depending on the format, relievers can hold more or less value, especially if it involves saves or saves and holds. In higher-stakes formats, closers and saves tend to be pushed up the draft board. In Yahoo leagues, we can speculate on relievers for saves in the later rounds. That’s especially true when there’s some uncertainty and concern to exploit. An example would be who to target among the Brewers: Trevor Megill or Abner Uribe.
After pick 150, we find Emilio Pagán, Kenley Jansen, Daniel Palencia, Dennis Santana, Will Vest and Ryan Walker. All should find themselves as the primary option for saves or in the mix for a share in 2026. That’s especially true in Yahoo leagues, where we can find relievers on the waiver wire or wait to draft them in the later rounds, depending on the scoring and league format. Knowing the market prices might suggest we should lean on a strong closer earlier in the draft, and then wait for a second or third reliever later in drafts, almost like a HeroRB draft approach in fantasy football leagues.
