Steelers Stock Watch 2026 – RB Rico Dowdle. Player: RB Rico Dowdle Stock Value: Purchased Reasoning: Replacing Kenneth Gainwell, Rico Dowdle gives the Steelers a 1,000-yard runner who also has a well-rounded game. If that sounds like Jaylen Warren, it should—though he hasn’t quite cracked 1,000 rushing yards in a season. With Dowdle in the same stable, he won’t have to, assuming they share […]

Pittsburgh Needs Just One More Defensive Line Piece. The Pittsburgh Steelers did well to sign veteran DL Sebastian Joseph-Day, a steady, proven, and versatile run stuffer. I have no issues with the signing whatsoever. Adding Joseph-Day makes Pittsburgh five-deep along the defensive line. But the team will likely carry seven on the 53-man roster, and the unit needs one more type of player: […]

The cupboard was nearly bare, with just WR DK Metcalf as the proven threat.

Jahan Dotson (WR - PHI)

Hollywood Brown agrees to one-year deal with Eagles.
Takes over for Jahan Dotson in No.3 wideout role
Eagles announced they agreed to terms on a one-year deal with WR Hollywood Brown. (Adam Schefter on X)
FF Today's Take: The Eagles lost Jahan Dotson in free agency to the Falcons so Brown will fill the void as the Eagles No.3 receiver behind A.J. Brown (trade?) and DeVonta Smith. Hollywood played a rotational role with the Chiefs last season finishing with a 49-587-5 line. Assuming A.J. Brown sticks with the Eagles, Hollywood can be avoided in redraft leagues in 2026.Source:

‘It’s Gonna Be Fun’: Michael Pittman Told DK Metcalf To Get Ready For ‘A Lot Of Physical Ball’. Michael Pittman Jr. and DK Metcalf, the Steelers’ new wide receiver duo, expect to have a lot more fun than opposing DBs this year. There are over 450 pounds between them, each standing at 6-4.
