Huddle Up: Bell, whose only NFL stats are two receptions for 20 yards in 2024 with the New England Patriots, is unlikely to be on the fantasy radar in 2026 even if he signs with a new team and makes their roster.

Huddle Up: Pittsburgh is still waiting to see if Aaron Rodgers will return next season, and in the meantime, they added Allar to the quarterback room. Allar's has the physical tools that teams look for in a quarterback, but he struggled with consistency in college. Still, his upside is worth taking a chance on in keeper formats in case he becomes the long-term answer for the Steelers.

Huddle Up: Bernard will likely compete for the No. 3 receiver with the Steelers during training camp and could see a decent amount of targets if he earns a role. He could be a late round pick in some leagues but will not be a starting option most weeks.

Huddle Up: There is a good chance that Aaron Rodgers returns to the Steelers, but Rudolph and Howard will compete for the starting job if Rodgers decides to retire. None of the three quarterbacks should be more than a No. 2 quarterback in fantasy leagues if they start.

Huddle Up: Warren might be in more of a timeshare with Dowdle, a fellow undrafted free agent. He exceeded expectations in 2025, and he could be in line for a bit of a regression in terms of carries, with Dowdle figuring the factor in for a good share of the backfield touches. Warren is still worth attention as a RB3 or flex fantasy option in 2026, but with QB questions, and a total touches breakdown question, Warren's fantasy outlook is a tad murky at the moment.

Huddle Up: Although Pittman's blocking won't earn him any fantasy points, it should ensure his status as the team's No. 2 receiver. Depending on the quarterback situation in Pittsburgh, Pittman could be a WR3 in 2026, especially in PPR formats.

Huddle Up: Pittman will be in an offense where the quarterback is still up in the air, and he will be fighting for targets alongside D.K. Metcalf. For now, he remains up in the air but should at least have a floor as a WR3 or flex spot in your lineup.

Huddle Up: Dowdle makes the Steelers' backfield very interesting, but hard to figure out for fantasy players. The departure of Kenny Gainwell will allow for touches to open up, but training camp will need to unfold to figure out if Dowdle or Jaylen Warren is the piece to own in the backfield.

Huddle Up: It is almost stunning that the best the Colts could do in a trade involving a 28-year-old receiver with four 80-catch seasons on his resume is a late-round pick swap. It is equally hard to believe that the Colts likely made a rushed trade so that they could make Alec Pierce the ninth-highest paid receiver in the league (in terms of annual average value). Pittman's departure paves the way - at least until the draft - for Tyler Warren and Josh Downs to see their target shares increase. Meanwhile, Pierce's contract almost locks him as a player that Indy will likely ask to assume more of the short and intermediate routes that Pittman handled throughout his time with the Colts.

Huddle Up: Dowdle took the NFL by storm in Weeks 5 and 6, where he rushed for 206 and 183 yards in back-to-back weeks. He would put up just one more 100-yard game all season, but he ended up with 1,373 all-purpose yards and seven combined touchdowns with the Carolina Panthers in 2025. However, Dowdle appeared to lose playing time to Chuba Hubbard down the stretch. Dowdle lands in Pittsburgh, where he'll be in the mix for touches with Jaylen Warren and Kaleb Johnson. He should be able to carve out a role in the Steelers' committee backfield, but that role isn't very fantasy relevant. With contingent upside should Warren go down, Dowdle would be a solid RB2 for fantasy. He should be drafted with the other backup running backs at the end of 2026 fantasy drafts.

Huddle Up: Pittman will be starting opposite DK Metcalf next season and should see a handful of targets each game. He can be a No. 3 receiver in most fantasy leagues.

Huddle Up: Dowdle had 1,373 all-purpose yards and seven combined touchdowns with the Carolina Panthers in 2025 but appeared to lose playing time to Chuba Hubbard down the stretch. Regardless of where Dowdle lands in free agency, he is likely to be part of a running back committee in 2026 and could be an RB3 option in some fantasy leagues depending upon his role.

Huddle Up: Freiermuth had his worst season as a pro, playing all 17 games and barely averaging over three targets per game. With just 41 receptions and four touchdowns in 2025, while splitting time on the field with Jonnu Smith, Darnell Washington and Connor Heyward. Freiermuth's stock has lost a lot of luster entering 2026. The Steelers offense remains one that prefers to run the ball and play good defense, so the team's pass attempts will remain low. For fantasy, it's best not to draft Freiermuth right now in the early stages of the offseason unless something drastically shakes up this Steelers' passing game.

Huddle Up: Dowdle seemed to drop behind Chuba Hubbard on the depth chart at the end of the 2025 season, so he may want to look for a bigger role with another team. He should see a good amount of touches no matter where he plays in 2026 and can be a No. 3 receiver in fantasy leagues.

Huddle Up: Dowdle saw his role decrease during the second half of the season, so there is a good chance that he will be with a new team in 2026. He will likely be part of a committee with a team next season and can be a No. 3 running back in some leagues depending on his role.

Huddle Up: Will Howard could have a chance to earn the starting job in 2026 if the team doesn't bring Aaron Rodgers back. If he is named the starter, he could be worth a late-round target in drafts.

Huddle Up: Dowdle was the starting running back for the Panthers during the middle of the season, but Chuba Hubbard received most of the work at the end. Dowdle should receive interest from teams if he hits the free-agent market and can be at least a No. 3 running back if he finds a good role.

Huddle Up: Warren missed some time earlier in the week because of his illness, but he should be able to handle his normal workload during the playoff game. He should be a starting option in all fantasy leagues.

Huddle Up: Fantasy players should keep an eye on the situation to see if Warren returns to practice in the next day or two. He will see a majority of the carries in the running game if he plays and can be a No. 2 running back or flex option in fantasy leagues if active.

Huddle Up: Pittsburgh won a thriller on Sunday night to lift them to a division crown, and now they get Metcalf back from his suspension. They'll need him this Monday night against the Texans, which had the No. 1 defense in the NFL this season. There's two competing storylines here: 1) you're getting a motivated Metcalf that wants to make amends for the suspension, and 2) you're getting an elite defense that will likely focus their attention on Metcalf. Despite Houston's defensive prowess, there's enough upside in Metcalf to use him as a WR3 in DFS leagues.

Huddle Up: With Darnell Washington (forearm) done for the season, Freiermuth is filling a larger role, and he's clearly working ahead of Jonnu Smith in the tight end hierarchy. Over the last four games, Freiermuth has posted 45, 20, 63, and 51 yards, respectively. That affords him some long-shot appeal against the Texans as someone that could work shorter routes to help Aaron Rodgers get the ball out quickly.

Huddle Up: Warren ran hard on Sunday night, helping the Steelers outlast the Ravens to claim the AFC North banner. His 99 yards easily paced the club, and he finished the season with 1,291 total yards and 8 TDs, which is respectable production. He'll need to be even better in the Wild Card round as the Texans boast the NFL's fourth-ranked run defense. He'll get his touches, though, and that should be enough to provide him with playable DFS value.

Huddle Up: Dowdle took over the starting job during the season but was sharing playing time near the end of the season. He is scheduled to be a free agent this offseason and should have a solid role with whoever he plays for in 2026. He can be at least a No. 3 running back if he finds a solid role with a team.

Huddle Up: Dowdle earned the starting job during the season and will see most of the work at running back again this week. He has cooled off a bit recently but can still be a No. 2 running back or flex option in fantasy leagues.

Huddle Up: Dowdle is on track to play in the regular season finale and should be able to handle his normal workload. He has cooled off during the second half of the season but can still be at least a flex option in fantasy leagues.

Huddle Up: Washington will have time to recover before the start of offseason workouts and likely will be on the field for the practices. He should have a similar role in the passing game next season and can be a No. 2 tight end in leagues.

Huddle Up: Dowdle emerged as the lead back in the Panthers' offense in 2025. The team will lean on him to secure the NFC South and, with a strong finish to the season, potentially make him the lead back for them in 2026.
