What are the sources of AlgaeCal Collagen, and why is it beneficial?
Our hydrolyzed collagen is sourced from pasture raised bovine. This bovine collagen is similar to the collagen we have in our own bodies. And because it’s pasture raised, it’s free from harmful GMOs, antibiotics, and artificial additives.
Is AlgaeCal Collagen the same as AlgaeCal Collagen Complete?
Yes! AlgaeCal Collagen is the same formula as AlgaeCal Collagen Complete—just with a new name. Nothing else has changed. You’re still getting the same clinically supported blend of four powerful collagens. Same product. Same results.
Is AlgaeCal Collagen third-party tested for quality and manufacturing standards?
AlgaeCal Collagen is manufactured in a facility in the USA that undergoes audits by the third-party organization National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) to ensure compliance with Current Good Manufacturing Practice (CGMP) standards.
Will heating affect AlgaeCal Collagen’s efficiency?
Research shows that collagen peptides, specifically Verisol collagen and Fortibone collagen, remain stable in hot beverages such as coffee and green tea, without undergoing significant changes in molecular weight.
What are the best ways to store and use your collagen to maintain its efficacy?
To ensure the efficacy of our multi-collagen peptides powder, you must keep it tightly closed in a cool, dry place. Also, keep it out of reach of children.

Sarah Strong makes picking the No. 1 player on this list pretty simple.
But even with the field narrowed to 16 teams, ranking the top 25 players in the 2026 women’s NCAA tournament is as difficult as ever.
With five players who were ranked on our pre-March Madness list now eliminated with their teams, there were new considerations. Our rankings take into account the players’ seasonlong statistics but also weigh their early-round NCAA tournament performances.
While several teams had multiple players make the cut, teams such as Louisville and North Carolina are so balanced that it was difficult to single out one player for the top 25. That isn’t a knock on the Cardinals and the Tar Heels. In fact, it has worked well for both, as they are among five ACC schools in the Sweet 16.
The regional semifinals start Friday (2:30 p.m. ET, ESPN) in Fort Worth and Sacramento, with star power in every game. Here are 25 of the best to keep an eye on.

Strong continues to rake in the national player of the year awards, and though she hasn’t been otherworldly so far in the NCAA tournament, she has done what the Huskies have needed her to do to: lead them in scoring in their first-round win and be the rebounding and two-way force that makes her one of the most exciting prospects we’ve seen in some time. She has a knack for playing her best basketball when it counts — she was arguably their best player in the Final Four last year when UConn won its first title since 2016 — which should serve the Huskies well as the road gets tougher in Fort Worth, Texas, and ultimately Phoenix. — Alexa Philippou
The best scorer in the country is so much more than that. That’s what the first two games of the NCAA tournament have proved. Blakes was one assist shy of a triple-double and had four steals in Round 2 against Illinois (30 points, 10 rebounds, nine assists). Equally if not more notable, the Fighting Illini starting backcourt of Aaliyah Guyton and Destiny Jackson going up against Blakes and Aubrey Galvan was a combined 1-of-13 from the field. In the first round, Blakes scored 30 points in just 29 minutes, but also had five assists. — Charlie Creme

Ralph on Vandy’s Blakes: ‘She’s the best player in the country’

The third-best scorer in the nation and one of the best two-way players in Division I, Hidalgo combined for 49 points through the first two games of the NCAA tournament. Hidalgo tallied eight steals in each of the first two rounds of the tournament, pestering opponents on defense and displaying her knack for swiping the ball when her opponent puts their guard down for just a second. Notre Dame will need every bit of her offensive fire and defensive prowess against Vanderbilt’s Mikayla Blakes, who leads the nation in scoring. — Kendra Andrews

Fudd was limited in the Huskies’ first-round game against UTSA, picking up three early fouls and finishing with seven points. But her next outing showed why she was named an AP first-team All-American. She tied her career high of 34 points, with 26 in the first half alone, exploding for 8-of-11 shooting on 3-pointers. Her well-rounded outing — she also finished with five assists and four steals — might have been her best performance as a Husky. If that version of Fudd — or close to it — shows up the rest of the tournament, UConn should have no problem cutting down the nets. — Philippou
The Longhorns’ leading scorer and rebounder, Booker is coming off a career-high 40 points in a 100-58 victory over Oregon in the second round. She was 14-of-21 from the field and 10-of-11 from the free throw line while also having eight rebounds, five assists and no turnovers — not technically a “perfect” game, but close. In Texas’ first-round win over Missouri State, she had 14 points and 12 rebounds. The Longhorns face familiar SEC foe Kentucky in the regional semifinals Saturday in the Fort Worth 3 Regional; in their 64-53 win over the Wildcats on Feb. 9, Booker had a season-low eight points. It was one of just two games this season where she did not reach double figures in scoring. So this might be a game she is personally hyped up to play, along with it being the next step in what Texas hopes is a journey back to the Final Four. — Michael Voepel

She scored all of her points on two-pointers, displaying utter dominance in the paint. Her presence down low is critical to UCLA’s success in the tournament.

It’s difficult to determine what was more special in TCU’s first two NCAA tournament games: Miles’ 12th career triple-double in the first round or her second-half turnaround that saved the Horned Frogs from elimination against Washington. The 16 rebounds and 14 assists (plus 12 points) against UC San Diego made Miles the third player with multiple triple-doubles in the NCAA tournament, and the first to do it with two different teams (TCU and Notre Dame). Her 14 points and six assists in the second half and overtime in the round of 32 led TCU in overcoming an eight-point halftime deficit to Washington to get to a second straight Sweet 16. It’s her third appearance in the regional semifinals. — Creme

Edwards, coming off a 27-point first-round performance, added 23 points and 10 rebounds in the second round. Edwards is a player who thrives in the paint, making most of her shots from down low. When South Carolina faces Oklahoma, which was the only team to beat the Gamecocks in conference play, it needs this version of Edwards. When they played in January, she struggled. She scored just 12 points and didn’t have the same free-flowing, easy way of playing that she has shown in the tournament so far. — Andrews

But after halftime, the All-American in Olson awoke, and 27 points and three steals later, the Wolverines had a 92-63 win. In 18 minutes, Olson produced more points than she had in any of her previous eight postseason games. — Creme

Johnson was included in our preseason top 25 player rankings, but not at midseason or pre-tournament. She proved she belonged with a brilliant performance in Iowa City to lead Virginia to the program’s first Sweet 16 since 2000. Virginia came into the NCAA tournament having lost its last three games in a row and four of its last six. But then things changed dramatically.
The Cavaliers are the first First Four team to reach the regional semifinals since the women’s field expanded to 68 in 2022. Johnson had 17 points, 10 rebounds and five assists in a 57-55 First Four victory over Arizona State. In the first round, the Cavaliers beat Georgia 82-73 in overtime behind Johnson’s 28 points, seven rebounds and six assists. Then in Virginia’s biggest win in many years, she had 28 points and four assists in an 83-75 double-overtime victory over host and No. 2 seed Iowa. The No. 10 seed Cavaliers are the only double-digit seed in the Sweet 16 and face No. 3 seed TCU on Saturday in the Sacramento 4 Regional. — Voepel

Oklahoma wants to run. No team in the country plays faster. But the Sooners can’t run without the ball. That is why Beers is their ultimate X factor. Her rebounding and outlet passing are the foundation of the fourth-highest-scoring team in the country. So far in the NCAA tournament she has 16 defensive rebounds and 24 total to go with 18 points each in the wins over Idaho and Michigan State. Coincidentally, the 18 points and 14 rebounds Beers had against the Spartans is the same stat line she produced when the Sooners upset South Carolina, their next opponent, earlier this year. — Creme
LSU was unstoppable in the first two rounds, and Williams was a big reason why. She had 18 points, five rebounds and 10 assists in a 116-58 first-round win over Jacksonville. In the 101-47 second-round win over Texas Tech, she had 24 points, seven rebounds and four assists. She shot a combined 62.5% in those games. No. 2 seed LSU will take on No. 3 seed Duke in the Sacramento 2 Regional on Friday, a rematch of the Tigers’ 93-77 win at Duke on Dec. 4. Williams had 14 points and seven assists in that game. — Voepel

Fournier’s rim protection is the cornerstone of Duke’s defense — and defense is the cornerstone of Duke’s success. She has had only three blocks in the NCAA tournament but helped shut down Baylor’s frontcourt. Darianna Littlepage-Buggs, a 51.9% shooter on the season and the Bears’ second-leading scorer, was 3-of-11 from the field and had seven points. Baylor scored just 46 points over 40 minutes. Fournier also averaged 19.5 points per game, two above her season average, in the opening two games. — Creme

In LSU’s 116-58 first-round victory over Jacksonville, she had 20 points and five rebounds. Johnson, who was a freshman on LSU’s 2023 national championship team, played well earlier this season against Duke, the Tigers’ Sweet 16 opponent in the Sacramento 2 Regional. She had 18 points on 7-of-11 shooting, five rebounds and three assists on Dec. 4 in LSU’s 93-77 win at Duke. — Voepel

As good as Tonie Morgan and Teonni Key have been for the Wildcats, this team’s success runs through Strack. To win, Kentucky needs her to be good. Through two games in the NCAA tournament, she has been very good. Her stat line against West Virginia — 18 points, 15 rebounds, four assists and four blocks — translated into winning. Strack led the team in those final three categories. A West Virginia team that averaged 12.5 offensive rebounds per game had just six against Kentucky. Strack’s 31.6% defensive rebound rate was the reason why. — Creme

Oklahoma is in the Sweet 16 in back-to-back years for the first time since making three in a row from 2009 to 2011. Chavez leads the Sooners, the No. 4 seed in the Sacramento 4 Regional, in scoring and assists, and is second in Division I in free throw shooting (92.8%). She has not been afraid to take big shots in key moments. She had 15 points, six rebounds and five assists in the Sooners’ first-round victory over Idaho. She did not shoot well from the field (5-of-17, 29.4%) in Oklahoma’s 77-71 second-round win over Michigan State, but still finished with 18 points, five rebounds and six assists. She was a key factor in Oklahoma’s 94-82 overtime victory over South Carolina on Jan. 22 with 26 points, so we’ll see how she and the Sooners fare in the rematch in the regional semifinals. — Voepel

Johnson has been a steady contributor for the Gamecocks through the first two rounds of the tournament and all season long. Her style of play, including 2.6 assists per game, is what helps make South Carolina so dangerous and unrelenting. In the first round, she recorded her first career double-double, finishing with 10 points and 10 rebounds (also a career-best mark). Her height usually gives her an advantage, but she’s usually on the break when the Gamecocks run in transition, which is often. Heading into the tournament, Johnson was leading the SEC in 3-point shooting at 44.1%, which also ranked 10th in the nation. — Andrews

But when healthy, she has been a revelation for the Huskies — she missed eight games earlier this season due to a shoulder injury — and is arguably their X factor for the NCAA tournament. The freshman has looked plenty comfortable in her first March Madness, so far averaging 16.5 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 2.5 steals and 2.0 blocks through two games. — Philippou

She had 19 points and nine rebounds in the Blue Devils’ 81-64 first-round win over Charleston, then 17 and seven in their 69-46 second-round win over Baylor. She shot a combined 13-of-18 (72.2%) in those games, and her defense inside along with teammate Toby Fournier has been crucial for Duke. In the Blue Devils’ 93-77 loss to LSU on Dec. 4, she had 12 points on 5-of-6 shooting but just three rebounds.

Fulwiley, a transfer from South Carolina, where she won the 2024 NCAA title, hopes to lead LSU back to the Final Four in her first season with the Tigers. She has had both hot and not-so-hot stretches this season. She was on fire, averaging 21.3 PPG in the six-game stretch before the NCAA tournament. However, she had a quiet opening weekend, with 13 points in the first round and two in the second round. Considering the Tigers routed Jacksonville by 58 points and Texas Tech by 54 in those games, they didn’t need much from Fulwiley. That will change in the Sweet 16 against Duke.

Okot’s size makes her feel inevitable in the paint: An opponent will either have to go through her when she’s defending, or they will have to find a way to stop her when she’s trying to score. She finished with 15 points and 15 rebounds in South Carolina’s second-round win over USC, dominating when the other team didn’t have anyone to match her size. When the Gamecocks face Oklahoma, Okot will have to go against Raegan Beers. In their first matchup of the season, Okot lost the battle, totaling her second-fewest rebounds (four) and third-fewest points (six) of the season.

It’s hard to single out one player with the balanced Gophers, whose top five scorers average between 12.9 and 11.1 points. But Battle gets the nod as their leader in rebounds and assists, and she made the shot that sent Minnesota to its first Sweet 16 since 2005. She had 21 points, eight rebounds and three assists in a 75-58 first-round victory over Green Bay, and then 14, 11 and five in the 65-63 second-round win over Ole Miss. Battle’s baseline jump shot with under a second remaining against the Rebels sent the 4-seed Gophers to next try to tackle Goliath: No. 1 seed UCLA. In their Big Ten matchup — a 76-58 Bruins victory on Jan. 14 — Battle led the way for Minnesota with 16 points, seven rebounds and five assists. — Voepel
After Anthropic’s weeks-long standoff with the Pentagon, the company won one milestone: A judge granted Anthropic a preliminary injunction in its lawsuit, which sought to reverse its government blacklisting while the judicial process plays out.
“The Department of War’s records show that it designated Anthropic as a supply chain risk because of its ‘hostile manner through the press,’” Judge Rita F. Lin, a district judge in the northern district of California, wrote in the order, which will go into effect in seven days. “Punishing Anthropic for bringing public scrutiny to the government’s contracting position is classic illegal First Amendment retaliation.”
A final verdict could be weeks or months out.
Anthropic spokesperson Danielle Cohen said in a Thursday statement, “We’re grateful to the court for moving swiftly, and pleased they agree Anthropic is likely to succeed on the merits. While this case was necessary to protect Anthropic, our customers, and our partners, our focus remains on working productively with the government to ensure all Americans benefit from safe, reliable AI.”
“I do think this case touches on an important debate,” Judge Lin said during the Tuesday hearing. “On the one hand, Anthropic is saying that its AI product, Claude, is not safe to use for autonomous lethal weapons and domestic mass surveillance. Anthropic’s position is that if the government wants to use its technology, the government has to agree not to use it for those purposes. On the other hand the Department of War is saying that military commanders have to decide what is safe for its AI to do.”
On Tuesday, Judge Lin went on to say, “It’s not my role to decide who’s right in that debate… The Department of War decides what AI product it wants to use and buy. And everyone, including Anthropic, agrees that the Department of War is free to stop using Claude and look for a more permissive AI vendor.” She added, “I see the question in this case as being … whether the government violated the law when it went beyond that.”
It all started with a memo sent by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Jan. 9, calling for “any lawful use” language to be written into any AI services procurement contract within 180 days, which would include existing contracts with companies like Anthropic, OpenAI, xAI, and Google. Anthropic’s negotiations with the Pentagon stretched on for weeks, hinging on two “red lines” that the company did not want the military to use its AI for: domestic mass surveillance and lethal autonomous weapons (or AI systems with the power to kill targets with no human involvement in the decisionmaking process). The rollercoasterseriesofevents that followed has included a barrage of social media insults, a formal “supply chain risk” designation with the potential to significantly handicap Anthropic’s business, competing AI companies swooping in to make deals, and an ensuing lawsuit.
With its lawsuit, Anthropic argues that it was punished for speech protected under the First Amendment, and it’s seeking to reverse the supply chain risk designation.
It’s rare, and potentially even unheard of until now, for a US company to be named a supply chain risk, a designation typically reserved for non-US companies potentially linked to foreign adversaries. Anthropic’s designation as such raised eyebrows nationwide and caused bipartisan controversy due to concerns that disagreeing with a presidential administration could potentially lead to outsized retribution for a business in any sector.
Anthropic’s own business has been significantly affected by the designation, according to its courtfilings, which say that it has “received outreach from numerous outside partners … expressing confusion about what was required of them and concern about their ability to continue to work with Anthropic” and that “dozens of companies have contacted Anthropic” for guidance or information about their rights to terminate usage. Depending on the level to which the government prohibits its contractors’ work with Anthropic, the company alleged that revenue adding up to between hundreds of millions and multiple billions could be at risk.
During Tuesday’s hearing, both companies had a chance to respond to Judge Lin’s questions, which were released in a document the day prior and hinged on matters like whether Hegseth lacked authority to issue certain directives and why Anthropic was named a supply chain risk. The judge also asked, in her pre-released questions, about the circumstances under which a government contractor could face termination for using Anthropic’s technology in their work — for instance, “if a contractor for the Department uses Claude Code as a tool to write software for the Department’s national security systems, would that contractor face termination as a result?”
On Tuesday, the judge also seemed to admonish the Department of War for Hegseth’s X post that caused a lot of widespread confusion per Anthropic’s earlier court filings, stating that “effective immediately, no contractor, supplier, or partner that does business with the United States military may conduct any commercial activity with Anthropic.”
“You’re standing here saying, ‘We said it but we didn’t really mean it,’” Judge Lin said during the hearing, later pressing on the question of why Hegseth wrote the above barring contractors from working with Anthropic instead of just simply designating Anthropic as a supply chain risk.
In a series of questions on Tuesday, Judge Lin asked whether the Department of War plans to terminate contractors on the basis of their work with Anthropic if it’s separate from their work with the department, and a representative for the Department of War responded, “That is my understanding.”
Judge Lin asked, “Let’s say I’m a military contractor. I don’t provide IT to the military. I provide toilet paper to the military. I’m not going to be terminated for using Anthropic — is that accurate?” The representative for the Department of War responded, “For non-DoW work, that is my understanding.” But when the judge asked whether a military contractor providing IT services to the Department of War, but not for national security systems, could be terminated for using Anthropic, the representative for the Department of War did not give a concrete answer.
During the hearing, Judge Lin cited one of the amicus briefs, which she said used the term “attempted corporate murder.” She said, “I don’t know if it’s ‘murder,’ but it looks like an attempt to cripple Anthropic.”
“We are continuing to be irreparably injured by this directive,” a lawyer for Anthropic said during the hearing, citing Hegseth’s nine-paragraph X post.
In a recent court filing, the Department of Defense alleged that Anthropic could ostensibly “attempt to disable its technology or preemptively alter the behavior of its model either before or during ongoing warfighting operations” in the event it felt the military was crossing its red lines — a theoretical situation that the Pentagon said it deemed an “unacceptable risk to national security.” The judge’s pre-released questions seem to challenge that statement, or at least request more information on it, stating, “What evidence in the record shows that Anthropic had ongoing access to or control over Claude after delivering it to the government, such that Anthropic could engage in such acts of sabotage or subversion?”

Matt Bowen is a fantasy football and NFL writer for ESPN. He joined ESPN in 2015, writes regularly for ESPN+ and spent multiple years on “NFL Matchup.” After graduating from the University of Iowa, Matt played safety in the NFL for St. Louis, Green Bay, Washington and Buffalo over seven seasons.
It’s important to remember that most top players primed for free agency in 2027 will sign contract extensions long before we reach next March. Players can also be franchise-tagged. But for now, let’s size up the potential of the 2027 class with the best players who are at least currently slated to hit the open market.
Age, positional value, expected future production and scheme versatility are all factors in making the list. We also included three players who received franchise tags this season and some 2023 first-round picks who are eligible for a fifth-year option in 2027.
Let’s get started with the quarterbacks, led by last season’s MVP.
Stafford led the NFL with 4,707 passing yards and 46 touchdowns last season, and won his first MVP award. A master of pocket movement, he can throw fastballs to every level in coach Sean McVay’s system. Stafford will turn 39 next February, and if he continues to play, the tape tells us he can still produce at a high level.
Mayfield pairs his aggressive throwing mentality with the ability to scramble and make plays outside of structure. His numbers dipped last season despite a strong start, but he threw for 4,500 yards and 41 touchdowns in 2024. Mayfield’s savvy play style is contagious — he battles.
If Murray wins the starting job in Minnesota over J.J. McCarthy, there is major opportunity here for him in coach Kevin O’Connell’s system. With a game plan built around Murray’s dual-threat ability (five seasons of 400-plus rushing yards), defined throws and play-action shots, he could cash in after his one-year deal is up.
Tagovailoa is coming off a rough 2024 season in Miami, with 20 touchdown passes and 15 interceptions before he was officially benched ahead of Week 16. But he now joins new coach Kevin Stefanski on a one-year deal in Atlanta. If Tagovailoa is named the starter over Michael Penix Jr., look for Stefanski to lean on his leveled play-action concepts and cater to the quarterback’s timing-and-rhythm style.

Orlovsky on Tua in Atlanta: This is the best decision for both parties
Dan Orlovsky and Domonique Foxworth discuss whether Tua Tagovailoa is a good fit for the Atlanta Falcons.
Running backs
One of the league’s premier runners, Taylor combines power, vision and home run juice to rack up big-time production. He led the league with 323 carries and 18 rushing touchdowns last season; his 1,585 rushing yards ranked third. Plus, Taylor can produce as an outlet/underneath target in the passing game (46 receptions in 2025).
Swift boosted his value last season in coach Ben Johnson’s offense. He rushed for a career-high 1,087 yards and nine touchdowns, while adding 34 receptions. Part of a backfield rotation, he fits best in zone-heavy scheme where he can press the ball to daylight and contribute to the pass game.
Wide receivers
London fits the profile of a No. 1 receiver with the versatility to line up inside or outside. In 12 games last season, he caught 68 passes for 919 yards with seven touchdowns.
London creates conflicts for opposing defenses in scoring position. He has 19 red-zone touchdown grabs since entering the league in 2022 (eighth most in that time span).
Olave had 100 receptions, 1,163 yards and nine scores in 2025 (all career highs). He’s a three-level glider who can easily create his own separation. Olave has a history with concussions, including several in the 2024 season, but he answered availability questions in 2025 with 16 starts.
Still one of the league’s best at shaking press coverage, Adams led the league with 14 touchdown receptions last season (league-high 12 in the red zone). He will turn 34 years old in December, but his ability to make himself available to the quarterback from perimeter alignments brings value to any offensive system.
Rice has played in only 12 games over the past two seasons due to injuries and a suspension. When on the field, however, he can operate as a volume target on catch-and-run throws. In three seasons, 69.8% of Rice’s 1,794 receiving yards have come after the catch. Plus, he has the ball skills to win over the top.
Since entering the league in 2022, Watson has never played a full season due to injuries. But the 2025 tape tells us the arrow could be pointing up for him. With the 4.3 speed and vertical ability to threaten defenses, Watson is a proven target on the boundary who has averaged 17.3 yards per catch over his career.
Tight ends
A back injury limited LaPorta to nine games last season. However, he had 146 catches and 17 receiving touchdowns over his first two NFL seasons. Those marks ranked fourth most and second most among tight ends, respectively.
With the ability to stretch the seams and create favorable matchups from multiple alignments, LaPorta is a top-five tight end when healthy.
Kraft was amid a breakout season in 2025 before an ACL injury in Week 9. At that point, he had 32 receptions for 489 yards and six touchdowns. At 6-foot-5, 259 pounds, Kraft is a physical target in the route tree who can rumble after the catch.
A knee injury in 2024 cut Hockenson’s season short, and sub-par QB play in 2025 reduced his total production. At his best, Hockenson should be viewed as a rugged, three-down tight end who can win in the middle of the field or on seams and corner routes. He had a career-best 95 receptions in 2023.
Goedert is a multilevel target who can produce on manufactured touches in the low red zone. In 2025, his 11 touchdowns were tied for second most in the league despite only 15 appearances.
Kelce is back in Kansas City for this upcoming season after catching 76 passes in 2025. His production and overall play speed has declined, but Kelce can still uncover due to his high-level field awareness. We’ll see if he continues to play in 2027.
Offensive linemen
Williams will turn 38 years old this summer, but he still has ideal tools for an NFL left tackle. He has the power and mobility to win matchups on the edges in both the run and pass game. Williams allowed just three sacks last season; his 79.5% run block win rate ranked sixth among offensive tackles.
Nelson’s tone-setting play demeanor would be a fit for any O-line room in the league, and he’s still producing high-level tape. His 95.5% pass block win rate ranked seventh among guards last season. Plus, he can easily displace defenders in the run game.
A durable interior presence, Brewer has the foot quickness to match defensive tackles in pass protection and operate in a zone run scheme. Last season, his 96.0% pass block win rate ranked sixth among centers.
Edge rushers
Walker battled through a wrist injury last season, leading to a decline in his pass-rush production (3.5 sacks). However, he had at least 10 sacks and 40 pressures in both the 2023 and 2024 seasons. If Walker can stay healthy in 2026, the former No. 1 overall pick could be a problem off the edges.
After 11.5 sacks in 2024, Van Ginkel recorded 7.5 in 12 games last season. His skill set fits best in a defense that schemes one-on-one matchups and stunts for him off the edges as an outside linebacker.
Thibodeaux had 11.5 sacks in 2023, but he has missed 12 games over the past two seasons, getting just 8.5 sacks during that time. He lacks elite bend on the edges, but he should still grade out as a solid starter next free agency.
Defensive tackles
Williams has the versatility and frame (6-foot-5, 310 pounds) to play multiple spots on the defensive front. A physical pass rusher and run defender, Williams has 18 sacks and a run stop win rate of 39.2% over the past two seasons.
At 6-foot-4, 347 pounds, Vea is an athletic plugger in the run game. And on pass plays, he provides an interior push to dent the pocket. In eight seasons with the Bucs, Vea has 35 sacks and 154 solo tackles.
Buckner’s sack totals and pass rush win rate have slipped over the past two seasons in Indianapolis. However, he can fit in a variety of NFL fronts with his powerful traits and 6-foot-7, 295-pound frame.

Daniel Jones on re-signing with Colts: ‘I’m fired up to be back’
Daniel Jones joins Pat McAfee to discuss his excitement about being back with the Colts and his desire to play Week 1.
Linebackers
Al-Shaair is an urgent run stopper who racked up over 100 tackles in Houston last season. Plus, he showed up in the pass defense with two interceptions and six pass breakups. He should be viewed as a productive three-down defender in free agency.
The scheme fit will be key for Luvu if he makes it to free agency, as he’s a stack linebacker — inside linebacker or 4-3 outside linebacker — who can be set up as a pass rusher or blitzer. With the foot quickness to shake blockers or wrap to the quarterback in tight quarters, Luvu had 11 sacks over the past two seasons.
Queen has the run-and-chase ability to track the ball on the perimeter and hunt down screens. Plus, he can slice into the backfield on blitzes to make splash plays. Queen could improve against the run game at the point of attack, but he has had over 100 tackles in four straight seasons.
Cornerbacks
Humphrey has 10 interceptions over his past two seasons, and his physicality in coverage still shows up nine years into his NFL career. Plus, he is willing to set the edges of the defense in the run game. Humphrey should be viewed as a scheme versatile corner if he reaches free agency.
After signing a one-year deal in Philadelphia, Woolen can boost his free agent value in 2026 under coordinator Vic Fangio. Woolen must show improved eye discipline and more consistent tackling to match his elite length and speed. He has the tools of a top cover corner.
More of a ball disruptor than playmaker (three career interceptions), Porter’s 12 pass breakups in 2025 tied for the fifth most in the league. He has 25 over his three seasons in Pittsburgh. Porter has the play demeanor to challenge in press coverage, plus the vision to locate the ball in zone coverage.
Safeties
A three-level playmaker, James is one of the best at the position. At 6-foot-2, 215 pounds, he can blitz, match in coverage or patrol the deep zones of the field. He produced three interceptions, two sacks, 13 pressures and 94 tackles in 2025.
It’s hard to find safeties who consistently make plays on the ball from the third level of the field. Bates checks that box with 13 interceptions over his past three seasons in Atlanta, and a total of 27 in his career.
An Achilles injury limited Branch to 12 games in 2025. When healthy, he can play over the top, cover the slot and impact the game near the line of scrimmage. He has difference-making ability.
Franchise tags
With 22 receptions of 20 or more yards (fourth most in the league), Pickens has the explosiveness to flip the field. Plus, he finished third with 1,429 receiving yards. Splash plays pay in free agency. Pickens also improved with his route running at all three levels in Dallas, which boosts his free-agent profile even more.

Stephen A.: Franchise-tagging George Pickens is a ‘huge mistake’
Stephen A. Smith sounds off on the Cowboys’ decision to franchise-tag George Pickens, calling it a “huge mistake.”
Hall has 188 receptions in his career and averages 90 scrimmage yards per game. He also has 87 rushes of 10 or more yards over four seasons. A three-down back with big-play juice, Hall should be in line to receive a multiyear deal in 2027.
Pitts plays tight end like a wide receiver, and his numbers were up in 2025. He caught 88 passes (career high) for 928 yards and five touchdowns, showing that he has the tools to thrive from a variety of alignments.
Fifth-year option candidates
Young threw for 3,011 yards and 23 touchdowns in 2025, both career highs. Plus, he delivered the ball with better location and timing in his second season under coach Dave Canales. In January, general manager Dan Morgan said the team plans on picking up his fifth-year option.
Stroud completed a career-best 64.5% of his throws last season in 14 games. An upgraded Texans offensive line, plus the trade for running back David Montgomery, should create more balance and better passing opportunities for Stroud in 2026.
Anderson had 12 sacks and 53 pressures in 2025; his 22.7% pass rush win rate ranked fourth in the league. He’s a game-wrecker who can win with power, speed and counter moves.
Robinson should be viewed as an offensive playmaker with the speed and splash-play chops to stress defenses. Last season, he had 2,298 scrimmage yards, 11 touchdowns and 36 rushes of 10 or more yards (tied for third most in the league).
In 11 games last season, Carter had three sacks and 21 pressures. At his best, he is a disruptive defensive tackle who can take over games.
A powerful mauler who can displace defenders in the run game, Wright had his best season as a pass protector in 2025. His 95.2% pass block win rate ranked fourth among tackles. He’s an ascending player who can lock down the right side of the line.
Skoronski’s 96.0% pass block win rate ranked fourth among guards, and he has the run-blocking ability to thrive in any scheme. He could develop into one of the league’s blue-chip guards.
A dual-threat back with big-time acceleration ability, Gibbs had 77 receptions last season and 1,839 scrimmage yards (fifth most in the NFL). On tape, it looks like Gibbs is playing at a different speed than his opponents.
With his long frame and pass-rushing range, McDonald has the physical traits to disrupt the pocket. He had eight sacks in 2025 after 10.5 in 2024.
Gonzalez didn’t record an interception in 2025 but had nine pass breakups as the anchor of New England’s secondary. I see the tools of a high-level cover corner on tape.
A catch-and-run maestro, Flowers caught 86 passes for 1,211 yards in 2025 (both career highs). Flowers is dynamic in space, while playcallers can get him to make splash plays on manufactured touches.
Smith missed five games last season due to a triceps injury, finishing with three sacks and 19 pressures. He was much more productive in a healthy 2024 season, with 6.5 sacks, one forced fumble and 4.5 run stuffs.
– Arsenal are exploring an approach for Paris Saint-Germain winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, says The Independent. The Gunners reportedly see the 25-year-old as a player who would provide more creativity, but while his representatives have indicated that he is open to a switch to the Emirates Stadium, there is belief that a deal could be difficult to pursue, with PSG not looking to part ways with him. Kvaratskhelia has scored 11 goals in 35 matches this season and any transfer would cost upwards of €80 million.
– Manchester United are lining up a move for Newcastle left back Lewis Hall, according to Sky Sports. The Old Trafford hierarchy have reportedly been impressed by the 21-year-old following several impressive performances this season, and he is viewed as an alternative signing to Eintracht Frankfurt‘s Nathaniel Brown, 22. The Red Devils are also expected to strengthen their forward line, with 19-year-old RB Leipzig winger Yan Diomande and Everton‘s Iliman Ndiaye, 26, two of the top names on their shortlist.
– Bayern Munich are set to stand firm amid interest in winger Michael Olisefrom Liverpool, Real Madrid, and Manchester City. Speaking to Sport Bild, Bayern’s sporting director Max Eberl said: “We’re not giving it a second thought. He’s an FC Bayern player and has all the opportunities here that top players could wish for.” The 24-year-old has directly contributed to 38 goals in 38 matches across all competitions this season, and has been linked with the Reds as a potential successor to Mohamed Salah.
– Manchester City and Arsenal are among several teams looking at Hearts defender Alfie Osborne. TEAMtalk reports that scouts from both clubs were present to watch the 17-year-old play for Scotland U19s in the 3-0 defeat against Italy in a U19 European Championship qualifier on Wednesday, and a deal could be secured for less than £250,000. Despite the Scottish Premiership side looking to keep him, it is reported that that Osborne isn’t planning to stay put beyond this summer.
– Borussia Dortmund are interested in Hoffenheim striker Fisnik Asllani. Florian Plettenberg says that BVB see the 23-year-old as a potential option if Serhou Guirassy leaves in the summer, but there is also competition from Bayern Munich, who are “closely monitoring” the situation with several other clubs. Asllani has a release clause in his contract worth in the region of €27 million, and he has also been linked with Barcelona as the LaLiga side continue to look for a long-term replacement for Robert Lewandowski.

Just how little power might it consume? Notebookcheck has tested a version of the laptop with that LG Display screen and a new Intel Panther Lake chip — and it appears to be the most efficient laptop that’s ever gone through its Wi-Fi web browsing test. At idle, the Core Ultra 325 laptop drew as little as 1.5 watts, and lasted nearly 27 hours of web browsing despite only housing a 70 watt-hour pack. That’s well shy of the 99.5Wh Dell has sometimes crammed into its 16-inch models.
That’s more battery life than Notebookcheck has gotten out of any MacBook or MacBook Pro, and apparently more than all but two other laptops since it started running this test in 2014. And of those two laptops, one relied on a Qualcomm Snapdragon X Plus chip, a larger 84Wh battery, and a mere 60Hz screen — while the other had two batteries for a total of 149Wh and a 60Hz screen as well.
I should caution you that we typically see much less battery life in an actual workday than we do in fixed battery life tests. But compared to other laptops, this Dell + Intel + LG Display combo seems like the new battery life champ. Note that Dell also sells it with a higher-res tandem OLED screen, though. To get the best battery life, you’ll need to settle for 1920 x 1200, no OLED, and no touchscreen.
While Dell may deserve a lot of credit as the system integrator, this tech may not be exclusive to Dell for long. LG Display announced that it’s become the first in the world to mass-produce a 1–120Hz laptop LCD panel (which it’s branding as Oxide 1Hz), and plans to mass-produce an OLED version in 2027. Intel, too, isn’t just working with one display vendor: last October, it announced it was working with Chinese panel maker BOE on 1Hz refresh rate computers too.
As rumors continue to swirl that the 3 Body Problem actress may be playing the titular character in Netflix’s film adaptation of Taylor’s popular novel, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, Eiza opened up about her friendship with the author—and the sweet way they keep in touch.
“I love Taylor, the writer,” Eiza exclusively told E! News’ Will Marfuggi at the premiere of her new movie Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice. “I think she’s amazing. I read all of her books. We’re pen pals.”
In fact, their friendship is so strong that Taylor, 42, even relies on Eiza for manuscript feedback.
“I’m a fan,” Eiza said. “I genuinely read that book and I became a fan. I read Daisy [Jones & The Six], and I read Malibu [Rising], I read all her books. She used to send me the books ahead of time, so I read them and give her my opinion, and I love her. I think she’s really talented.”

Change. It’s inevitable. And in the NFL, it’s constant. From a historic number of coaching changes to nagging injuries to roster shake-ups, the churn is real. As we flip the fantasy calendar to the 2026 season, we’re here to catch you up on the most impactful fantasy news of the offseason. Here’s to not just playing the game, but playing it while in the know.
Despite his status as the winningest head coach in franchise history (180 regular-season and 13 postseason victories), the Baltimore Ravens cut ties with Harbaugh after 18 seasons. The 63-year-old was without a head coaching gig for all of 11 days before New York signed him to a five-year commitment. Harbaugh is now tasked with bringing a winning culture back to the Big Apple. That’s no small feat given that the team has registered just two playoff appearances in nearly a decade.
The defensive-minded coach tapped Matt Nagy to command the Giants’ offense. Born out of the Andy Reid coaching tree, Nagy figures to install a West Coast offense, intent on developing QB Jaxson Dart and further unlocking WR Malik Nabers‘ alpha potential. Expect a mix of designed runs and RPO reads for Dart, providing the QB with an elevated rushing floor and more defined throws. There’s room for optimism, but fantasy managers should temper expectations as Nagy has struggled to consistently deliver, particularly when separated from Reid. Nagy managed a 34-31 regular-season record as head coach of the Chicago Bears from 2018 to 2021. His second stint as offensive coordinator for the Kansas City Chiefs proved more successful, though Reid remained the team’s primary offensive playcaller during that span (2023-25).
The Raiders have endured the highest coaching turnover in the NFL since 2002. Kubiak will aspire to buck the trend, becoming the team’s sixth permanent head coach since 2015. Fresh off a Super Bowl victory as the Seahawks’ offensive coordinator, wherein he lifted Seattle’s points per game (up from 20 in 2024 to 25.5 in 2025) and offensive efficiency (from 19th in 2024 to 13th in 2025), Kubiak figures to install a QB-friendly offense that relies on play-action and utilizes a wide zone running game.
Kubiak admitted at the NFL combine that he’d like to give RB Ashton Jeanty a “wingman,” suggesting a shared backfield approach similar to the one Kenneth Walker III and Zach Charbonnet experienced in 2025. Although that could mean fewer touches for the sophomore running back, Jeanty’s efficiency should increase. Thankfully for fantasy managers, TE Brock Bowers‘ ceiling should be exploited under Kubiak, as he is likely to take on a “joker” role in the offense. Key to all of this, of course, is expected No. 1 pick Fernando Mendoza‘s ability to successfully transition to the pro level. That said, Kubiak’s wide zone scheme — which will marry the run and pass game together — should be viewed as a bonus for Mendoza’s early-season development.
Absent from the sidelines for a year, McCarthy signed a five-year contract with the Steelers. Replacing Mike Tomlin after 19 seasons to become the team’s fourth head coach since 1969, McCarthy will return to his hometown with a significant number of holes to fill and questions to answer, chief among them who will man the quarterback position. McCarthy famously worked with Aaron Rodgers for 13 seasons with the Green Bay Packers, leading them to a Super Bowl victory (which just happened to be over the Steelers) during the squad’s 2010 campaign. Yet, Rodgers has yet to announce his availability for 2026. That hasn’t dissuaded McCarthy from moves, however.
The Steelers added CB Jamel Dean, RB Rico Dowdle and WR Michael Pittman Jr. in free agency. Given McCarthy’s penchant for running the ball and clock management, the offense doesn’t figure to look terribly different from its previous iteration(s). Interestingly, DraftKings Sportsbook has set a line of 8.5 wins for the upcoming regular season. Pittsburgh managed a 10-7 record in 2025.
On Buffalo’s staff since 2022, Brady is set to succeed Sean McDermott in large part due to his effective work with Josh Allen. Under Brady, Allen has strived to limit turnovers, increase rushing output and improve his overall efficiency. Motivated to capitalize on a legitimate Super Bowl window, Brady will need to build around Allen and further develop offensive consistency. The addition of WR DJ Moore figures to help in this endeavor, providing Allen with a proven No. 1 WR who can successfully deliver on deep in-breakers and shots downfield. That said, Brady remains an “everyone eats” evangelist. Expect him to spread the ball around while continuing to employ an explosive rushing attack.
The Cardinals accumulated a whopping 15 wins over three seasons under the Jonathan Gannon/Drew Petzing regime. Regardless of the reasons — from a rebuild to key injuries — three straight seasons under .500 will result in any coaching staff being shown the door. Enter LaFleur, who ascended the ranks under the tutelage of Kyle Shanahan before working with Sean McVay as the Rams’ offensive coordinator since 2023.
LaFleur brings a completely new approach to Arizona’s offense, predicated on maximizing the offensive line in order to establish a high-volume passing attack, buoyed by an explosive running game. This more modern and receiver-friendly approach should provide Marvin Harrison Jr. with a lift in production. With more reduced formations and pre-snap movement, LaFleur can employ the “Cooper Kupp model” to scheme for MHJ, allowing the hopeful WR1 to better showcase his high-end physical tools. If LaFleur can successfully unlock MHJ’s potential and further encourage Jacoby Brissett‘s belated breakout, then fans should nickname him the Great Redeemer by the season’s end.

Mahomes tore his left ACL and LCL versus the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 15. In an attempt to prevent additional swelling, the superstar QB underwent surgery just 24 hours later on Dec. 15. The question now is whether Mathomes will be able to return under center without restrictions ahead of the 2026 season opener. Although Mahomes is certainly “built different,” setbacks can occur and rust takes time to shake off. Presently, consider Mahomes a low-end fantasy starter in the QB12-QB15 range.
Nabers suffered a Grade 3 tear to the ACL while additionally damaging the meniscus of his right knee in late September of last year. An operation to repair the issue(s) occurred on Oct. 28. When asked about his rehab in January, Nabers admitted that he would not start until he was fully healthy, telling reporters that “If my body doesn’t feel right [Week 1] then I’m not going to go out there.” However, Giants GM Joe Schoen remarked at the NFL combine in February that Nabers was in a “good spot” with his recovery and expressed optimism that the 22-year-old would be back in time for training camp.
After a breakout rookie campaign (18.2 FPTS/gm, WR6), Nabers emerged as a top-five positional pick for fantasy managers in 2025. His presence, particularly given Wan’Dale Robinson‘s departure, is crucial to the Giants’ success this upcoming season. His availability and progress over the summer will be key in determining his 2026 ADP. Mike Clay currently has the star wideout ranked inside of his top 10 players at the position.
Nabers wasn’t the only Giant to sustain a season-ending injury in 2025. Skattebo underwent emergency surgery shortly after experiencing a gruesome right ankle dislocation, which included an open tibia fracture and ruptured deltoid ligament, in late October. Despite the severity of the injury, Schoen expects the bruising back to be ready in time for the start of the team’s offseason program in April.
Skattebo himself echoed these sentiments, stating he’d be “100%” by OTAs while sharing that he was already running at about “75%” as of mid-March. Skattebo will be greeted by an overhauled regime. New OC Nagy figures to lean on Skattebo’s physicality in an attempt to beef up the ground game, allowing newly signed fullback Patrick Ricard to block and create additional lanes for Skattebo to rumble through. Skattebo’s playing style undoubtedly invites injury, but it also makes him a tantalizing grab for ceiling-scraping fantasy managers.
Kraft emerged as Green Bay’s leading receiver over the first two months of 2025, registering a 30-469-6 stat line (16.2 FPTS/gm, TE1) before tearing his right ACL versus the Carolina Panthers in Week 9. With a recovery timeline of nine months, Kraft should be back on the field by late August. The 25-year-old shared that his rehab was “ahead of schedule” back in January. Packers brass appear similarly confident in the tight end’s return, as GM Brian Gutekunst has reportedly been in touch with Kraft about a potential contract extension. Assuming all goes smoothly (and given Romeo Doubs‘ move to the New England Patriots), Kraft figures to be back on the TE1 radar by September.
Grab a big ol’ bucket of popcorn because the Murray versus J.J. McCarthy QB battle figures to be pure cinema. Stunted by injuries and failure to progress as a passer, Murray was released by the Cardinals after seven tumultuous seasons. He was signed by the Vikings just 24 hours later. Given Murray’s experience, it’s reasonable to believe he’ll edge out his 23-year-old competitor for the starting gig.
Murray averaged 19.4 fantasy points per game over his 87 career starts as a Cardinal, with 30% of that production coming via his legs. With Kevin O’Connell calling the plays and surrounded by a bevy of talented pass catchers (Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, T.J. Hockenson and Aaron Jones Sr.), Murray should have all the tools necessary to wholly fulfill his QB1 fantasy potential. That is, of course, if he can stay on the field.
The first running back to earn a Super Bowl MVP victory in 28 years (Terrell Davis, 1998), Walker is taking his ring to a town that, prior to 2025, had been stockpiling hardware. Signed to a three-year deal valued at $45 million ($28.7 million fully guaranteed), Walker is expected to be Kansas City’s primary ball carrier, particularly given the expiration of Kareem Hunt‘s previous deal and with Isiah Pacheco off to the Detroit Lions.
Touching the ball 252 times (RB20) in Seattle, Walker’s timeshare with Zach Charbonnet suppressed his fantasy ceiling. Still, the 25-year-old finished the season as fantasy’s RB22 overall (11.3 FPTS/gm, RB27). He also ripped off 10 runs of 20 or more yards (RB3, tied with Jahmyr Gibbs). Interestingly, Pacheco didn’t record a single run of 20 or more yards, and Hunt managed just one. Intent on upgrading the team’s backfield, Reid figures to capitalize on Walker’s speed and explosiveness, making the back a top-14 positional option for fantasy purposes.
It’s hard to imagine a better landing spot for the vet, who inked a three-year deal with the 49ers after 12 seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. An injury-riddled 2025 (hamstring, clavicle) prevented the 32-year-old from attaining a 12th consecutive campaign of 1,000 receiving yards. That could be evidence of decline, but given the lack of competition he’ll face in San Francisco and noting Kyle Shanahan’s playcalling savvy, Evans figures to bounce back in 2026. He’s likely to emerge as a value pick with WR2 fantasy potential by the fall.
