Malik Willis (QB – GB)
Taking advantage of a weak free agent class and possibly an even weaker rookie crop, Malik Willis will likely get a chance to start sometime in 2026, and for good reason. The former third-round pick has looked good as a starter over the past two seasons and provides legitimate intrigue thanks to his rushing edge and limited playing time as a pro.
After two seasons with the Titans, Willis landed in Green Bay, where he filled in for Jordan Love. And he was ready when he was called upon. Willis started two games in 2024 and completed a total of 40 of 54 passes for 550 yards and three scores. 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 productive numbers again late last year as the Packers fought for a playoff spot. Willis started Week 17 against Baltimore and lit them up. He went 18-for-21 for 288 yards and a touchdown, 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-esque, with the man himself standing on the other side.
That’s the kind of advantage Willis brings to the table. I think what impresses me most is his ball security. He hasn’t thrown an interception since his rookie season in 2022 and has only two lost fumbles in that span. A limited sample size, no doubt, but Willis has shown the ability to protect the football while racking up fantasy points.
Teams looking for a change under center could 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 immediately increase his dynasty value, especially in Superflex formats.
Smart dynasty managers will know this, so it will be difficult to get Willis for anything less than a mid-to-late second round pick in formats where you can start two QBs each week. You may have to get creative to acquire it, but you have the time to do so now. His current price reflects uncertainty, but that won’t last if he gets a starting job.
Tyler Allgeier (RB–ATL)
The efficiency stats won’t blow anyone away, but Tyler Allgeier is a solid NFL running back. He spent four seasons in Atlanta, including three in Bijan Robinson’s 1B through 1A. Even with just a handful of carries per game, he averaged 614 rushing yards over the past three seasons and is coming off a career-high eight touchdowns in 2025. Quietly productive, bring-your-lunch-pail-to-work type of thing.
Now that he’s an unrestricted free agent, Allgeier has a chance to land somewhere where he can potentially direct the majority of the backfield work. The last time we saw that was his rookie season, and it went pretty well. In 2022, Allgeier was selected in the fifth round out of BYU, but despite 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 tallied 16 receptions for 139 yards and one touchdown. Not bad for a day 3 pick.
These aren’t earth-shattering numbers by any means, but there is value in what Allgeier offers: an early player who can also help hit him near the goal line when needed. There are several teams that probably need a ball carrier from the 20s; if he ends up with the Broncos, Chiefs, Texans or Saints, Allgeier could see real use and enjoy a spike in dynasty value.
It’s best to try to pressure him now, before free agency heats up and he starts to become a household name. Approach the manager in your league and see if you can get the soon-to-be 26-year-old for a few third-round picks. That’s not a bad starting point. With a perceived weaker RB class coming in, I’d even feel comfortable sending a late second-round pick in the upcoming 2026 rookie drafts. Just don’t overpay, as there’s zero chance he stays in Atlanta and re-establishes himself as a valuable handcuff for Robinson.
Romeo Doubs (WR – GB)
While I never see Romeo Doubs ascending to the heights of a bona fide superstar and an elite WR1, there is a lot to like about his game, and a lot of teams would love to add him to their WR corps. He’s been a model of consistency: Doubs has averaged between 10.2 and 10.3 fantasy PPR points per game over the past three seasons. Not sexy, but it has a solid floor. He’s also headed to free agency after a career-high 724 receiving yards.
Doubs has produced on the field despite the Packers’ run-heavy philosophy and crowded receiver room. He has been a reliable target for QB Jordan Love, who trusted him near the end zone or when the offense needed to move the chains. Love had a QB rating of 110.1 when he threw to Doubs in 2025, 19e-the best among wideouts.
While not a go-getter or elite separator, Doubs is a nuanced route runner who gets open with smart timing rather than athleticism. That doesn’t mean he doesn’t play pieces; on the contrary. Doubs recorded twelve plays for over twenty yards in 2025, good for WR30. Efficiency statistics also suggest that there could be more production if he gets an increase in target volume with a change of scenery:
- First downs per route – 0.105 (WR17)
- Fantasy points per goal – 1.95 (WR21)
- Fantasy points per route – 0.42 (WR25)
- Yards per route – 1.85 (WR30)
Doubs could fit in nicely with a handful of teams and start right away on the outside. Currently worth a late second or early third round rookie pick in Dynasty, his value will skyrocket 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 that you can still get it cheap now. Doubs is not a flashy name, and most managers will have no qualms about moving him if you approach him with a reasonable offer. Better yet, try to make a bigger deal and see if you can get Doubs as a throw-in.
It may seem like an unexciting signing at the moment, but later in the season when the bye weeks arrive and injuries pile up, it’s nice to have a reliable player like Doubs who can give you 10-15 fantasy points.
Jake Tonges (TE – SF)
I admit I’m cheating a bit here, as Jake Tonges is a restricted free agent and will likely return to the 49ers this upcoming season. That said, that makes it an attractive buy. With George Kittle recovering from a torn Achilles tendon suffered in the Wild Card Round, Tonges could slide right into the starter role, just as he did several times in 2025 when Kittle missed action.
After two seasons of experience without a catch, Tonges got his first NFL reception in Week 1 after Kittle went down with a hamstring injury. He filled in admirably for All-Pro, highlighted by a three-game stretch from Weeks 4 through 6 in which he caught 16 passes for 157 yards and two touchdowns. Overall, he caught 34 of 46 targets, finishing the regular season with 293 yards and five scores.
Tonges was called upon to start again in the Divisional Round and posted a solid 59 yards on five catches. There is some talent here, and the efficiency metrics support this. The third-year pro ranked in the 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 keep Tonges, he has a chance – at least early in the season – to be the team’s TE1 again. Now he will never produce like Kittle. Few people can do that. But he could give you roughly 70 percent of Kittle, and on a Kyle Shanahan offense, that’s not too shabby. He’s an extremely cheap addition for contenders or Kittle managers who need a plug-in for their lineups.
Start by bringing up a single fourth-rounder in the trade talks. You can also look to flip a roster clogger, such as a player like Brashard Smith or Xavier Legette for Tonges. He’s a cheap signing that doesn’t change anything today but could pay off once the point-scoring season starts.
