The New York Jets agreed to terms on an undisclosed deal with veteran free-agent wide receiver Tim Patrick on Wednesday after he visited with the team, a source told Rich Cimini of ESPN. Patrick played in 16 regular-season games with the Jacksonville Jaguars last year and finished with only 15 receptions for 187 yards and three touchdowns on 24 targets in his sixth year in the NFL. A once-promising career was derailed with the Denver Broncos in 2022 and 2023 when he suffered torn ACLs in his knee in back-to-back seasons. The 32-year-old veteran originally went undrafted out of Utah before debuting in the NFL back in 2018 in Denver. He spent four years with the Broncos before playing for the Detroit Lions in 2024 and in Jacksonville last season. Patrick will bring a veteran presence to New York's WR room in 2026 and will offer versatility and depth to a unit that already includes Garrett Wilson, Adonai Mitchell, and rookie first-rounder Omar Cooper Jr. In an offense run by veteran QB Geno Smith as most likely the WR4, Patrick won't be on the fantasy radar at all in redraft or dynasty formats.

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (knee) underwent a second surgery on his right knee to remove scar tissue that was causing stiffness, sources told Dan Duggan of The Athletic. Duggan was told that the second surgery took place "multiple weeks ago," and it was described as a "clean-up." It's not expected to impact Nabers' recovery timeline, and the Giants are still hoping that he will be ready for the Week 1 regular-season opener in early September. The 22-year-old wideout first had ACL and meniscus surgery back on Oct. 28 of last year. Nabers tore his ACL and meniscus in Week 4 of last season and finished with just 18 catches for 271 yards and two touchdowns in his sophomore season. While the Giants don't seem to be too worried, it's something that we will watch closely, and it could affect Nabers' readiness for the start of training camp at the end of July. We already know that Nabers is one of the best pass-catchers in the game when healthy, but the risk of him coming off major knee surgery cannot be ignored. When fully healthy, there shouldn't be anything stopping Nabers from being a high-end WR1 in fantasy. In dynasty formats, RotoBaller has the former sixth overall pick ranked as the No. 5 wideout, behind Ja'Marr Chase, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Puka Nacua, and Justin Jefferson.

The Miami Dolphins and Pro Bowl running back De'Von Achane agreed to a four-year, $68 million contract extension on Wednesday to make him the third-highest-paid RB (behind Saquon Barkley and Christian McCaffrey) at $17 million per year with $32 million guaranteed, multiple sources told Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports. New general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan and head coach Jeff Hafley stood by their word this offseason that they weren't looking to trade Achane after cutting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and receiver Tyreek Hill (knee) and trading receiver Jaylen Waddle to the Denver Broncos. The 24-year-old former third-rounder in 2023 out of Texas A&M gets paid after a breakout 2025 campaign, in which he had a career-best 1,350 rushing yards and eight touchdowns on 238 carries while adding 67 catches for 488 yards and another four TDs on 85 targets across 16 starts. Despite Miami's lackluster offense, Achane finished as the RB6 in half-PPR scoring last year. The Dolphins' offense could be very inconsistent yet again in Year 1 of their rebuild, but Achane should be a first-round pick in redraft formats for the volume alone, and he's currently RotoBaller's fifth-ranked RB in dynasty leagues.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts turned in another strong statistical season in 2025, throwing for 3,224 yards and 25 touchdowns while adding another 454 yards and eight scores as a rusher. Still, Hurts shouldered significant criticism for the Eagles' overall struggles as an offense and is under pressure to up his game in 2026. Philadelphia will have a new play-caller in Sean Mannion and added pass-catching talent in the 2026 NFL Draft in first-round wideout Makai Lemon and second-round tight end Eli Stowers, all of which should help Hurts. However, Hurts' best asset in fantasy has always been his rushing production. While the 27-year-old still added value with his legs in 2025, it was his first season without at least 600 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns since his rookie year in 2020. If Hurts' rushing production continues to decline, his fantasy value could be in major trouble.
