Malik Willis (QB – GB)
Benefitting from a weak free agent class and potentially an even weaker rookie crop, Malik Willis is likely going to get a chance to start somewhere in 2026, and deservedly so. The former third-round pick has looked good in spot-start duty over the past two seasons and brings legit intrigue thanks to his rushing upside and limited playing time as a pro.
After two seasons with the Titans, Willis landed in Green Bay, where he’s been Jordan Love’s understudy. And he’s been ready when called upon. Willis started two games in 2024, completing 40 of 54 passes for 550 yards and three scores, in all. The dual-threat QB also added 138 yards on the ground with a TD on 20 carries over the course of the season.
He put up prolific numbers again late last year when the Packers were fighting for a playoff spot. Willis started Week 17 against Baltimore and lit them up. He went 18-for-21 for 288 yards and a TD, while also rushing for 60 yards and two more scores on the ground. His 31.5 fantasy points put him at QB3 for the week. Very Lamar Jackson-like, with the man himself standing on the opposite sideline.
That’s the type of upside Willis brings to the table. I think what impresses me the most is his ball security. He hasn’t thrown an interception since his rookie season in 2022 and has just two lost fumbles in that span. Limited sample size, no doubt, but Willis has shown he can protect the football while he’s racking up fantasy points.
Teams looking for a change under center could look to sign Willis as a short-term gamble to see if he has what it takes to be a long-term starter. Any starting job would instantly boost his dynasty value, especially in Superflex formats.
Savvy dynasty managers will know this, so it’ll be hard to get Willis for anything less than a mid-to-late second-round pick in formats where you can start two QBs every week. You might have to get creative to acquire him, but you have a window right now to do so. His current price reflects uncertainty, but that won’t last if he gets a starting gig.
Tyler Allgeier (RB – ATL)
The efficiency metrics aren’t going to knock anyone’s socks off, but Tyler Allgeier is a solid NFL running back. He’s spent four seasons in Atlanta, three of those playing 1B to Bijan Robinson’s 1A. Even with just getting a handful of carries per game, he averaged 614 rushing yards over the last three seasons and is coming off a career-high eight touchdowns in 2025. Quietly productive, bring-your-lunch-pail-to-work-type stuff.
Now an unrestricted free agent, Allgeier has a chance to land somewhere where he can potentially command a majority of the backfield work. The last time we saw that was his rookie season, and it went pretty well. Back in 2022, Allgeier was selected in the fifth round out of BYU, but despite the low draft capital, the Falcons handed him the keys to the backfield, and he delivered: 1,035 rushing yards on 210 carries (4.9 YPC) with three scores. He also chipped in 16 receptions for 139 yards and one TD. Not bad for a Day 3 pick.
These aren’t earth-shattering numbers by any means, but there’s value in what Allgeier provides: an early-down grinder who can also help punch it in near the goal line when needed. There are several teams likely in need of a between-the-20s ballcarrier; if he lands with the Broncos, Chiefs, Texans, or Saints, Allgeier could see some real usage and enjoy a spike in dynasty value. Â
Best to try and kick the tires on him now, before free agency heats up and he starts to become a buzzworthy name. Approach the manager in your league and see if you can get the soon-to-be 26-year-old for a pair of third-round picks. That’s not a bad starting point. With a perceived weaker RB class incoming, I’d even be comfortable sending a late second-round pick in the upcoming 2026 rookie drafts. Just don’t overpay, since there’s a non-zero chance he stays in Atlanta and settles back in as a valuable handcuff to Robinson once more.
Romeo Doubs (WR – GB)
Though I don’t see Romeo Doubs ever ascending to the heights of a bona fide superstar and being an elite WR1, there’s a lot to like about his game, and a ton of teams would be happy to add him to their WR corps. He’s a model of consistency: Doubs has averaged between 10.2 and 10.3 PPR fantasy points per game each of the last three seasons. Not sexy, but he has a solid floor. He’s also headed into free agency hot on the heels of a career-high 724 receiving yards.
Doubs has produced when on the field despite the Packers’ run-heavy philosophy and crowded receiver room. He’s been a reliable target for QB Jordan Love, who’s trusted him near the end zone or when the offense needed to move the chains. Love had a 110.1 QB rating when throwing towards Doubs in 2025, 19th-best among wideouts.
While he’s not a burner or an elite separator, Doubs is a nuanced route runner who gets open with savvy timing rather than athleticism. That doesn’t mean he doesn’t produce chunk plays; on the contrary. Doubs recorded 12 plays over 20-plus yards in 2025, good for WR30. Efficiency metrics also suggest there could be more production if he gets an increase in target volume with a change of scenery:
-     First downs per route run – 0.105 (WR17)
-     Fantasy points per target – 1.95 (WR21)
-     Fantasy points per route run – 0.42 (WR25)
- Â Â Â Â Yards per route run – 1.85 (WR30)
Doubs could fit in nicely with a handful of teams and immediately start on the outside. Currently worth a late second- or early third-round rookie pick in Dynasty, his value will shoot up if he joins the Raiders or Titans, both teams looking for a traditional X receiver to help their young signal-callers develop (assuming the Raiders select QB Fernando Mendoza, of course).
The good news is you can still get him now on the cheap. Doubs isn’t a flashy name, and most managers won’t bat an eye at moving him if you approach with a reasonable offer. Better yet, try working a larger deal and see if you can get Doubs as a throw-in.
It may seem like an unexciting buy right now, but later in the season, when bye weeks kick in and injuries start piling up, having a dependable player like Doubs who can get you 10-15 fantasy points is nice to have in your back pocket.
Jake Tonges (TE – SF)
I’ll admit I’m cheating a little here, since Jake Tonges is a restricted free agent, thus likely to return to the 49ers this upcoming season. That said, that’s what makes him an appealing buy. With George Kittle on the mend due to a torn Achilles suffered in the Wild Card Round, Tonges could slide right into the starter role, just as he did multiple times in 2025 when Kittle missed action.
After two seasons of experience without a catch, Tonges reeled in his first NFL reception in Week 1 after Kittle went down with a hamstring injury. He filled in admirably for the All-Pro, highlighted by a three-game stretch from Weeks 4-6 where he caught 16 passes for 157 yards and two TDs. In all, he caught 34 of 46 targets, finishing the regular season with 293 yards and five scores.
Tonges was called upon to start once again in the Divisional Round and put up a solid 59 yards on five catches. There’s some talent here, and the efficiency metrics back it up. The third-year pro ranked top 10 among all TEs in QB rating per target (126.4), first downs per route run (0.095), fantasy points per route run (0.42), and target separation (2.13).
If the 49ers retain Tonges, he’ll have a chance — at least early in the season — to be the team’s TE1 again. Now, he’s never going to produce like Kittle. Few humans can. But he could give you roughly 70-percent of Kittle, and in a Kyle Shanahan offense, that’s not too shabby. He’s an extremely inexpensive add for contenders or Kittle managers who need a plug-in for their lineups.
Start by floating a single fourth-rounder in trade talks. Alternatively, see if you could flip a roster-clogger, like a Brashard Smith or Xavier Legette type player for Tonges. He’s a low-cost add that doesn’t move the needle today but can pay off once the points-scoring season starts.Â
