Award-Winning Fantasy Football Advice

The Arizona Cardinals fired HC Jonathan Gannon after three seasons. This comes after the Cardinals went 3-14 in 2025. Gannon was a disappointment overall, going 15-36 over those three years. GM Monti Ossenfort will lead the search for a new head coach.

Giants WR Malik Nabers admitted Monday that he's iffy to be ready for the 2026 opener. "Not really sure," Nabers said. "If my body doesn’t feel right, then I’m not gonna go out there.” Nabers underwent surgery on October 28 for what was reported as a torn ACL and meniscus damage. He'll be about 10.5 months removed from surgery when the 2026 season kicks off. But Nabers was spotted prior to Sunday's finale vs. the Cowboys using a crutch and with a bulky brace on his right knee. We'll keep tabs on his progress throughout the offseason. But early fantasy drafters should consider him no better than 50/50 to be ready for Week 1.

Rams WR Davante Adams (hamstring) and TE Terrance Ferguson (hamstring) are expected back for Saturday's Wild Card game vs. the Panthers, HC Sean McVay said Monday. Adams has been out since Week 15 but returned to limited practices this past week. McVay said the Rams "erred on the side of caution" in bringing Adams back. "I know it's pissed him off pretty good," McVay added. Ferguson is also expected to play vs. Carolina after missing Week 18. He figures to be the No. 3 TE behind Tyler Higbee and Colby Parkinson.

The Las Vegas Raiders have fired HC Pete Carroll after on season as the head coach. The 2025 Raiders season was disastrous, with the team going 3-14. Tom Brady is expected to be a major factor in the search for a new head coach.

Cowboys QB Dak Prescott didn’t play all of Week 18’s loss to the Giants. Dallas exited the postseason picture, influencing the decision to sit Prescott after one half. George Pickens and CeeDee Lamb each left early, too. Both guys finished with a 45% snap share.

After missing Week 17 with a concussion, third-round rookie WR Pat Bryant returned to the lineup and led Denver's WR corps in targets (5), receptions (4), and yards (31) in Denver's 19-3 victory over the Chargers. Los Angeles rested starters and passed for only 104 yards, so the Broncos were able to control the clock with the run game and attempted only 23 passes. But Bryant's usage continued a trend of being Denver's No. 2 WR. Since their Week 12 bye, Bryant has out-snapped Franklin in three of his four games, with both wideouts playing 42 snaps in Week 16.

The Browns on Monday fired HC Kevin Stefanski after six seasons. Cleveland went 44-56 in the regular season across those years, making the playoffs twice and winning a playoff game in Stefanski's debut campaign. The past two seasons, however, have seen the Browns go 3-14 and 4-12. An official statement from team ownership specifically blamed those records for the firing. GM Andrew Berry, however, remains in his role. Berry assumed GM duties in the same offseason in which Stefanski arrived.

RBs Zach Charbonnet and Kenneth Walker III finished the regular season strong, helping the Seahawks secure the top seed in the NFC. Charbonnet went 17-74-1 on the ground and 3-23-0 through the air on 4 targets. Walker went 16-97-0 on the ground and 4-36-0 through the air, catching all of his targets. With Walker set to be a free agent after this season, both RBs could be valuable fantasy players in 2026.

Vikings WR Justin Jefferson went 8-101-0 on 11 targets in Week 18, catching passes from QBs J.J. McCarthy and Max Brosmer. That puts Jefferson at 85-1048-2 for the entire season. He had 141 targets on the season, only catching 60.3% of his targets on the year. It does mark his sixth straight season over 1,000 yards receiving. Despite the success, Jefferson will enter next season with uncertainty around the Vikings’ passing game.
