Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. (knee) is getting closer to participating in 11-on-11 drills during offseason workouts, according to head coach Kevin Stefanski. Penix is still not ready to be a full-go in offseason practices after having surgery in the middle of November last year to fix a partially torn ACL in his left knee. With Penix struggling as the full-time starting QB in 2025 before tearing his ACL, the Falcons went out and signed former Miami Dolphins signal-caller Tua Tagovailoa to give them insurance at the position. Although Penix, the former eighth overall pick in 2024 out of the University of Washington, is expected to compete for the starting QB job in training camp this summer, he could be fighting an uphill battle at this point. The good news is that Penix took part in seven-on-seven drills during OTAs, and he could be a full-go for practices by the time camp starts at the end of July. Still, there's no guarantee Penix will be starting games in 2026, even if he's fully recovered from knee surgery this summer.

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson earned first-team All-Pro honors for his work in 2025, as he finished the year with a league-leading 2,298 scrimmage yards and 11 touchdowns on 366 touches across 17 games. Robinson had his most efficient year as a rusher (5.1 yards per carry) while also setting career-highs in targets (103), receptions (79), and receiving yards (820). Entering 2026, Robinson could be in the best touchdown-scoring position of his career following the offseason departure of former Falcons back Tyler Allgeier, who collected eight rushing touchdowns in a goal-line role in 2025. The overall offensive environment around Robinson in Atlanta remains questionable, as neither Michael Penix Jr. (knee) nor Tua Tagovailoa projects to provide the Falcons with above-average quarterback play. Still, both signal-callers should lean heavily on Robinson in all aspects of the game. As he enters his age-24 season and the prime of his career, Robinson has a compelling case to be valued as the number one overall player in dynasty formats.

A fourth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Houston Texans running back Woody Marks finished his rookie year with 911 scrimmage yards and five touchdowns on 220 touches across 16 games (eight starts). After starting the season in a secondary role behind veteran back Nick Chubb, Marks gradually assumed the RB1 job over the course of the year. However, Marks looks to be back in an RB2 role in Houston entering 2026 after the team's offseason trade acquisition of former Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery. Montgomery is entering his age-29 season and failed to reach 1,000 scrimmage yards for the first time in his career in 2025, but his production decline can largely be attributed to the emergence of star running back Jahmyr Gibbs in Detroit. Still, while Marks may see a decline in goal-line and early-down work in 2026, he should still be Houston's primary pass-catching back. Given Montgomery's age, Marks could still profile as the future of the running back position in Houston as well. In dynasty formats, managers may want to consider buying low on Marks ahead of 2026.

After recording over 1,500 receiving yards and 15 touchdowns across his final two collegiate seasons at Clemson, wide receiver Antonio Williams was selected in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft by the Washington Commanders. In Washington, Williams could be poised to make an immediate impact in a wide receiver room that lacks established NFL difference-makers behind veteran wideout Terry McLaurin. Williams profiles as a slot receiver who thrives with the ball in his hands in open space. That skill set could make him the perfect replacement for former Commanders wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr., who collected 802 scrimmage yards and six touchdowns across 16 games with Washington in 2025. Perhaps most importantly, the Commanders appear to be in desperate need of a reliable pass-catcher to step up behind McLaurin and tight end Chig Okonkwo. Williams' main competition for targets and playing time entering training camp looks to be wide receivers Treylon Burks, Dyami Brown, Luke McCaffrey, Jaylin Lane, and Van Jefferson. With a strong showing this summer, Williams' dynasty value could be in position to skyrocket over the course of his rookie season.
