New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson should benefit from the team's anticipated run-heavy approach in 2026. As it stands, the Patriots' receiving corps has taken a step backward this offseason, with Stefon Diggs essentially being replaced by Romeo Doubs. Without a flashy new weapon for Drake Maye to throw to, all signs point to the Patriots running the ball a lot in 2026. That falls in line with what we saw last year, when Henderson and Rhamondre Stevenson combined for 310 carries. Both Henderson and Stevenson were top-25 backs in fantasy football, and we could see a similar result in 2026. Even though Henderson has second-round draft capital, the Patriots appear committed to getting Stevenson heavily involved. That's what a run-heavy approach bodes well for Henderson -- there will be more carries to go around, and Henderson will have an opportunity to put up RB2 numbers in fantasy football even if Stevenson is getting double-digit touches per game.

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams had an incredible breakout campaign in his second NFL season, partly due to the team's new offensive system led by first-year head coach Ben Johnson. Williams finished the 2025 regular season with 3,942 passing yards, 27 passing touchdowns, and seven interceptions. All three of those numbers set new career-highs, and although his interception total did increase from Year 1 to Year 2, he still did a great job limiting turnovers. He was also a threat on the ground, tallying 383 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns. Williams is a strong candidate to take another big leap during his third season. Last year was terrific, for sure, but there's definitely a possibility that he could hit 4,000 passing yards and 30 passing touchdowns in 2026. He certainly has a strong supporting cast that can help him reach those marks. Rome Odunze and Luther Burden III both look like potential franchise receivers, and Colston Loveland has emerged as one of the league's most impressive young tight ends. Plus, the leadership of Johnson should also allow Williams to remain a top-tier fantasy quarterback for many years to come. He's firmly entrenched as a high-end QB1 in dynasty leagues.

Unsurprisingly, the Indianapolis Colts will not pick up the fifth-year option for quarterback Anthony Richardson Sr., a source told Mike Chappell of FOX 59. The fifth-year option was considered a long shot for Richardson, who was selected fourth overall in 2023 out of the University of Florida. If the Colts had picked up Richardson's fifth-year option, he would have been guaranteed $22.483 million in 2027. The 23-year-old signal-caller has struggled with injuries and inconsistency in his three years with the organization and has been benched twice. With the Colts signing Daniel Jones (Achilles) to a two-year extension this offseason, it's been made clear that Richardson is no longer the future in Indy, which is why he has requested a trade. The Colts are willing to deal Richardson at the right cost, but nothing has materialized yet. If A-Rich stays with the Colts, there's a chance he could open the 2026 season as the No. 3 behind Jones and Riley Leonard. His dynasty/keeper stock has reached rock bottom.

Seattle Seahawks tight end Elijah Arroyo caught only 15 passes as a rookie for 179 yards and one score, but following a 2026 NFL Draft that saw nine tight ends selected through the first two days and 21 overall, he emerged as one of the few young tight ends unaffected by the historically deep class. Seattle was one of 16 teams that did not add to the position through the draft, and as such, Arroyo has seen his dynasty ranking rise to RotoBaller's TE26 as half the league's depth charts face added competition. While it will take more than just a changing landscape around him to maintain value, Arroyo's plus-athleticism and strong hands are what made him a 2025 second-round pick despite a checkered medical history. While he is still stuck behind AJ Barner on the Seahawks' depth chart, this recent draft is a clear indicator of the league's trending path towards more 12 and 13 personnel packages, and Arroyo could carve out a meaningful role under first-year offensive coordinator Brian Fleury, who has spent the past four seasons as the 49ers' tight ends coach.
