NFL OTAs, or Organized Team Activities, are underway around the league. Typically, the fantasy football news coming out of these camps is limited. Teams are just doing basic drills, playbook implementation, and classroom work. One newsworthy note that always comes out from OTAs is who showed up for them, and who didn’t.
The most notable holdout this season appears to be Jacoby Brissett. He has come out saying that he wants, and believes he deserves, a starting quarterback’s salary. He’s only due to make $4.88 million in base salary this season, less than most of the veteran starters in the league. He had a surprisingly great season for Arizona last year, taking the job away from former number one pick Kyler Murray. The Cardinals didn’t do much at the position this off-season, signing Gardner Minshew and drafting Carson Beck in the third round. All signs point to Brissett as the unquestioned starter this season, and he’s hoping to be paid like one. Brissett has limited leverage, but we’ll see if he can work something out with Arizona before they start fining him for his absence.
In other quarterback news, the Steelers have signed Aaron Rodgers to a one-year deal. While this was widely expected, it ends the off-season drama around the future Hall-of-Famer. He’ll be Pittsburgh’s starting quarterback for another season. While dynasty managers may have been holding out hope for Mason Rudolph or Drew Allar, this is ultimately the best news for the other Steelers fantasy weapons. Rodgers was not good last season, but he’ll support more offensive production than the other quarterbacks would have. DK Metcalf remains the top pass-catching option, along with Michael Pittman and Germie Bernard. Jaylen Warren and Ricol Dowdle will split time out of the backfield. Once again, this is an underwhelming team for dynasty fantasy football. Hopefully, they can pick up a more dynamic quarterback in next year’s loaded NFL Draft class.
As we inch closer and closer to June, we inch closer and closer to a reported AJ Brown trade. It’s widely assumed that Brown will be traded and that the trade will be to the Patriots. If that trade does go through, it will mean big changes for the Patriots’ wide receiver room, especially for Kayshon Boutte. He had a breakout season in 2025 and became a down-the-field weapon for Drake Maye. But, with the signing of Romeo Doubs, and this reported trade, Boutte appears to be on the outside looking in on wide receiver snaps in 2027. He could be an interesting off-season trade candidate, or even a cut candidate later on this summer.

I recently wrote a piece for DLF highlighting the NFC East winners and losers of the NFL Draft, and I was surprised to see how down I was on Jayden Daniels! Sonny Styles was a great pick for the Commanders at 7th overall, but it feels like they didn’t do enough to help out Jayden Daniels on the offensive side of the ball. I didn’t like the Antonio Williams pick, despite an admitted bias towards Clemson players, and the only other weapon they added was Kaytron Allen in the sixth round. The Commanders struggled last season on offense, and blame for that can be placed on Daniels’s injuries, but outside of Terry McLaurin, this team is in desperate need of some talent. I wanted to take a look at Jayden Daniels’ dynasty value after the NFL Draft to decide if he is someone I’d consider selling right now.

Jayden Daniels’s Dynasty ADP History, per DLF.
Daniels is ranked as the QB4 by the DLF Expert Rankers, putting him at 42nd overall in 1QB leagues and seventh overall in superflex. He’s the QB4 in April ADP as well, going 57th overall in one-quarterback and 6th overall in superflex. Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson are, of course, going ahead of him, along with Drake Maye. Players like Jalen Hurts, Joe Burrow, Justin Herbert, and Caleb Williams are all going after him. Of that list of quarterbacks, he has the smallest frame, the largest injury risk, the worst group of receivers, and by far, the lowest Super Bowl odds on the DK Sportsbook (+6500, the Bears are the closest at +2500). He overcame those odds to have a QB5 season in 2024, but all of those quarterbacks have a top-five QB season to their names as well. I’d be comfortable giving up Daniels straight up for any of the quarterbacks on that list.

If you are a dynasty manager always looking for wins around the margins, you are constantly looking for trades that can help you get where you want to go. Fortunately, DLF provides the Dynasty Trade Analyzer, combining expert rankings, community dynasty ADP, and actual trades to narrow down a player’s trade value.
Of course, players’ values always change. Injuries, inconsistent play, or rapidly changing situations can all play a hand in causing a player to rise or fall. Below, we will look at some movers and shakers in superflex formats.

QB3 | NE | 898.93 | |

QB11 | DEN | 539.52 | |
QB12 | NYG | 534.96 |
Caleb Williams is on the move after the Bears took a major step forward in year one of the Ben Johnson era. Williams still has flaws in his game, but the quick progression and obvious natural talent have him pushing towards dynasty’s elite. His cost is not expected to become any cheaper throughout the fall.
Patrick Mahomes is no longer a top signal caller, but it is worth noting that he was posting his best fantasy season in years prior to injury last year. Of course, a big part of it was his increased willingness to run to ignite an offense that had become stagnant. His rushing output figures to decline again moving forward, given the injury and his age, but if the Chiefs innovate their offense and get all their pieces in place, we could see a return to the big passing numbers.
Jaxson Dart sneaks into QB1 territory, and he may not be done there. Dart showcased a very fantasy-friendly profile as a rookie, though the punishment he took was concerning. The hope is John Harbaugh can utilize Dart’s unique skillset while also limiting his exposure to big hits.
