With dynasty leagues, winning isn’t just about the following Sunday—it’s about seeing two or three seasons ahead. Whether it’s a young star potentially escaping a crowded depth chart, a veteran heading toward one last big contract, or a system-dependent player who could thrive in a new offense, free agency in 2026 could drastically reshape dynasty values overnight.
Savvy dynasty players know that tracking future free agents years in advance isn’t just speculation. It’s preparation. Contract years often bring career-best performances, and offseason team changes can unlock production that was previously capped by scheme or situation. By identifying these 2026 free agents early, you can make smarter trades, stash the right breakout candidates, and position your roster ahead of your league competition before the hype hits.

2026 Free Agent Wide Receivers | Week 14 Fantasy Football Advice
Hollywood Brown | Chiefs | Week 14 Fantasy Trade Advice
While he won’t get as much attention as some of the other names on this list, Hollywood Brown is one I’m interested in. If Brown does not resign in Kansas City, he could serve very well as another team’s WR2. I would gauge the trade interest of the Brown manager, as the cost to acquire him should be reasonably cheap. I would love to see Brown in Buffalo as that serious deep threat they have been lacking for years.
Mike Evans | Buccaneers | Week 14 Fantasy Trade Advice
At the start of the 2026 NFL season, Mike Evans will be 33 years old. Realistically, Evans has only two options in the offseason: retirement or return to Tampa Bay. Evans can no longer command that WR1 role in an offense, and his fantasy value is at an all-time low at this point. If you believe Evans will not retire (I lean towards him returning to Tampa Bay), he could be had for a later-round draft pick.
George Pickens | Cowboys | Week 14 Fantasy Trade Advice
George Pickens will be the most coveted wide receiver free agent in the offseason. After an offseason filled with Micah Parsons drama, Jerry Jones cannot lose Pickens and have the same type of offseason. Pickens has reached career highs in receptions, receiving yards, and touchdowns in his first year with the Dallas Cowboys. At only 24 years old, Pickens’ fantasy value is extremely high. To acquire Pickens, it will cost you 2-3 first-round picks. I am not comfortable paying that price for Pickens. Pickens is the ultimate boom-bust trade target.
Wan’Dale Robinson | Giants | Week 14 Fantasy Trade Advice
Much like George Pickens, Wan’Dale Robinson picked the perfect time to have a career year. New York may not want to resign Robinson, given his potential price tag and his limited role as a slot receiver. Robinson’s usage has been fugazi due to Malik Nabers‘ season-ending ACL injury and has been forced into a heavy target share. I would not be actively trying to acquire Robinson as his fantasy value is relatively high this year at WR17. Robinson would be a good candidate to trade away to get optimal fantasy value.
Deebo Samuel | Commanders | Week 14 Fantasy Trade Advice
During the offseason, the Washington Commanders acquired Deebo Samuel from the 49ers in exchange for a fifth-round draft pick. Deebo Samuel has proven himself to be an excellent fit for Kliff Kingsbury’s offense in Washington, as he is on pace for his second-highest reception total in his NFL career. However, Samuel was brought into Washington to complement Terry McLaurin, who, going into Week 14, has played just five games. My only interest in Samuel would be if he returned to Washington, as I don’t see teams paying him big money due to his limited production and injury history.
Rashid Shaheed | Seahawks | Week 14 Fantasy Trade Advice
Much like Hollywood Brown, Rashid Shaheed will be a name to monitor in the offseason. If he resigns with Seattle, I will be less interested in acquiring him. However, if he became the deep threat role in Buffalo that I also mentioned for Brown, I would become interested in him. Given his lack of production in Seattle, his price should be reasonably low. A 2026 third or 2026 fourth is a reasonable offer for Shaheed.
2026 Notable NFL Free Agent Wide Receivers
Other notable free agent wide receivers that I feel will return as complementary pieces to NFL offenses in 2026 include: Keenan Allen, Jalen Coker, Jahan Dotson, Greg Dortch, Romeo Doubs, Greg Dortch, Jauan Jennings, Christian Kirk, John Metchie, Jakobi Meyers, and Alec Pierce

2026 Free Agent Tight Ends | Week 14 Fantasy Football Advice
Mark Andrews | Baltimore Ravens | Week 14 Fantasy Trade Advice
Many fantasy analysts are down on Mark Andrews. Andrews is still a very productive tight end, and a change of scenery is needed for Andrews. At 30 years old, Andrews still has 2-3 years of production, and I would be comfortable sending a late 2026 second-round pick for Andrews.
Zach Ertz | Washington Commanders | Week 14 Fantasy Trade Advice
This is the end of the road for Zach Ertz. Unless you are a contender needing some depth at the tight end position, Ertz should not be on your roster.
Dallas Goedert | Philadelphia Eagles | Week 14 Fantasy Trade Advice
Currently TE7 on the year, Dallas Goedert started the season off strong before fizzling out. Goedert has seen single-digit fantasy points in his last four games. Goedert would be someone I would wait to see where he lands in the offseason as a return to Philly would not be ideal at this stage of his career. If he landed in a more pass friendly offense, I would be more excited about Goedert’s future.
Travis Kelce | Kansas City Chiefs | Week 14 Fantasy Trade Advice
Much like Mike Evans, Travis Kelce has only two realistic options: return to the Kansas City Chiefs or retire. Kelce was close to retiring last year before resigning with Kansas City. This season, I am now even more confident that this will indeed be Kelce’s final season. I would not actively try to acquire Kelce unless I was a serious championship contender this year.
Isaiah Likely | Baltimore Ravens | Week 14 Fantasy Trade Advice
Isaiah Likely is likely (no pun intended) to resign with the Baltimore Ravens. Unfortunately, there isn’t much of a trade window for Likely. It has been common knowledge that Likely is the future in Baltimore, and the Likely manager knows that as well. Likely is someone that is stuck in a holding pattern. Likely could be someone during your rookie drafts you include in trade offers with teams looking to trade up in the draft.
David Njoku | Cleveland Browns | Week 14 Fantasy Trade Advice
Like his position mate Mark Andrews, David Njoku is in desperate need of a change of scenery. Cleveland has found their future at the tight end position with Harold Fannin Jr. However, unlike Andrews, I would not be actively trying to acquire Njoku. Njoku has expressed his desire to return to the Browns, but in my opinion, he is a declining asset who should be traded off your fantasy rosters.
Kyle Pitts | Atlanta Falcons | Week 14 Fantasy Trade Advice
Kyle Pitts is the ultimate boom-bust free agent at the tight end position. Pitts has shown his boom potential after a 1,000-yard receiving season as a rookie. He has also shown his bust potential where he has failed to surpass 675 receiving yards in any of his other four NFL seasons. At only 25 years old, there is also a chance that Atlanta places the franchise tag on Pitts. If I were a Pitts manager, I would wait to sell Pitts until after he signs in free agency, where I can get optimal trade value.
2026 Notable NFL Free Agent Tight Ends
Other notable free agent tight ends that I feel will return as complementary pieces to NFL offenses in 2026 include: Tyler Higbee, Chig Okonkwo, and Cade Otton.
