Houston Texans wide receiver Jaylin Noel may remain in the fourth spot on the depth chart ahead of the 2026 season. During his rookie campaign in 2025, Noel typically operated as the No. 4 receiver behind Nico Collins, Jayden Higgins, and Christian Kirk, finishing the year with a modest 26 catches, 292 yards, and two touchdowns. Kirk has departed for the Bay Area, but he'll likely be replaced next season by a healthy Tank Dell (knee). While Year 2 is a common time for wide receivers to break out, Noel may struggle to get meaningful playing time if Collins, Higgins, and Dell are all healthy. He's merely a hold in dynasty leagues right now; although he does have long-term upside, he faces an uphill battle to achieve consistent fantasy relevance in 2026.

Veteran wide receiver Keenan Allen remains a free agent as we turn the calendar to April. The 33-year-old has spent 13 seasons in the NFL, including a dozen with the Los Angeles Chargers. He essentially shared No. 1 receiver duties with Ladd McConkey last year and ultimately led the team with 81 catches. He also tallied 777 receiving yards and four touchdowns, ranking as the overall WR29 in PPR leagues. Allen has previously said he only wants to play in Los Angeles, but his stance may have changed this deep into free agency. If he's open to playing elsewhere, several NFL media personalities have identified the Las Vegas Raiders as a potential landing spot. Vegas currently doesn't have an established No. 1 receiver, and Allen could be a great veteran target for rookie quarterback Fernando Mendoza, the projected first overall pick. Allen doesn't have much value in dynasty trades, so he's purely a hold for now. Depending on the landing spot, he could be an intriguing buy-low receiver with short-term value.

Arkansas running back Mike Washington Jr. had a top-30 visit with the Atlanta Falcons on Friday, sources told Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports. Washington also has visits in the next two weeks lined up with the Tampa Buccaneers, Green Bay Packers, and Seattle Seahawks. The 6-foot-1, 223-pounder ran an eye-opening 4.33-second 40-yard dash at the scouting combine in late February and is projected to be a Day 2 pick in this month's NFL draft. The Falcons already have stud RB Bijan Robinson, and although they lost highly productive backup Tyler Allgeier to free agency, they signed Brian Robinson Jr. as their RB2 this offseason. Washington would likely open his NFL career as the RB3 in Atlanta. In his lone season with the Razorbacks in 2025, Washington had 1,070 rushing yards and eight touchdowns on 167 carries, adding 28 catches for 226 yards and another score in 12 games played. He also had eight rushing touchdowns on 157 carries in 12 games in 2024 with New Mexico State after spending three seasons at Buffalo.

The Ringer's Todd McShay reports that someone in the Arizona Cardinals building is "pushing really hard" to draft Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love at the end of April. The Cardinals have the No. 3 overall pick in this year's draft, but they also have pressing needs on their offensive line and at defensive end. They could trade back a few spots in the first round if they think they'll still have a chance to draft the consensus top RB in this year's class. The Cardinals already have James Conner (foot), Trey Benson (knee), and Tyler Allgeier in their backield, though, so Love landing in Arizona would be bad news for his short- and long-term fantasy football value. The Tennessee Titans (No. 4 overall) and New York Giants (No. 5) have also been rumored to be looking at drafting Love early in the first round this year. Love has the potential to be a three-down start at the next level after leading his conference in rushing yards in each of the last two seasons, with a total of 2,497 rushing yards and 35 touchdowns on 362 carries in 28 games. He also had 55 catches for 517 yards and five additional touchdowns as a receiver.
