Ideal NFL Free-Agent Landing Spots

Free agency is where fantasy value can spike overnight, and these projected fits would shift both dynasty markets and 2026 redraft boards.
Malik Willis to Atlanta would create immediate intrigue if the Falcons reset at quarterback. With Michael Penix Jr. recovering from another ACL injury and Kirk Cousins expected to move on, Willis’ rushing profile could boost the entire offense around Bijan Robinson, Drake London, and Kyle Pitts.
Travis Etienne Jr. in Dallas would pair speed and volume with a backfield that has leaned on value signings. If the Cowboys want more explosion behind their current run-game structure, Etienne has the workload history to become a weekly RB2 with RB1 upside.
Javonte Williams landing in Houston makes sense after his rebound season. His post-contact production and passing-down utility would give the Texans a sturdier option if they want more reliability than they got from their current rotation.
Kenneth Gainwell to Kansas City is a clean stylistic fit for a pass-first offense. His receiving usage would translate quickly, and his price point could be more realistic than splash moves for a cap-strapped roster.
Tyler Allgeier in Pittsburgh would give the Steelers a true power complement to Jaylen Warren. That split could clarify fantasy roles, with Allgeier handling more short-yardage and goal-line work while Warren keeps high-value receiving snaps.
A Deebo Samuel return to San Francisco would be seamless from a scheme standpoint. With uncertainty around other pass-catchers, his YAC skill set would plug directly back into Kyle Shanahan’s offense.
Mike Evans to Buffalo would give Josh Allen a proven perimeter finisher and vertical threat. If Evans leaves Tampa Bay, this would be one of the highest-impact short-term upgrades for a contender and a fantasy-friendly target environment.
Rashid Shaheed with Las Vegas would reunite him with Klint Kubiak and add needed speed to the Raiders’ passing game. His ability to stretch coverage would create cleaner underneath space for Brock Bowers and Ashton Jeanty.
Wan’Dale Robinson to Washington could unlock strong PPR value in a slot-heavy role. His 2025 usage showed he can win beyond gadget touches, and he’d be a useful chain-mover for Jayden Daniels.
Romeo Doubs to Pittsburgh would fill a clear need behind DK Metcalf. If the Steelers stabilize quarterback play, Doubs has the route volume profile to push for a career-best season.
Dallas Goedert to Washington would give the Commanders a veteran middle-field option with red-zone value. Durability remains the risk, but his route involvement and scoring profile still make him a difference-maker when active.
