Every NFL team heads into the offseason with the same goal: get better. But "getting better" doesn't always mean building for next season—or for your fantasy football roster. Sometimes, teams just get it wrong. Other times, they make moves that make our fantasy lives a whole lot easier (and a lot more exciting). Now that most of the big offseason moves are in the books, let's dive into the ones fantasy managers should be celebrating.

First up: the running back shakeups. Jahmyr Gibbs and Bijan Robinson have both been electric backs, but they've been held back just a bit by their backfield partners—David Montgomery in Detroit and Tyler Allgeier in Atlanta. That all changed this offseason. The Lions shipped Montgomery to Houston in a trade, while the Falcons watched Allgeier head to Arizona in free agency. Sure, both teams brought in replacements—Isiah Pacheco in Detroit and Brian Robinson Jr. in Atlanta—but neither is the same caliber as their predecessors. Last season, Allgeier actually outscored Bijan in rushing touchdowns (8 to 7), and Montgomery piled up 33 touchdowns in three seasons alongside Gibbs. Pacheco and Robinson might steal a few scores in 2026, but the stars are now primed to dominate touches and touchdowns. That makes Gibbs and Bijan the top two candidates for the 1.01 pick in fantasy drafts this year.

Then there's Kenneth Walker III. He's been solid in Seattle for years, but the Seahawks never fully unleashed him. He's been fighting for touches since day one, and his rookie-season high of 255 carries in 2022 still stands as his career best. Now, Walker is heading to Kansas City—a move that changes everything. He leaves behind Seattle's crowded backfield and Zach Charbonnet, stepping into an offense that demands attention from every pass defender. Plus, Patrick Mahomes isn't exactly a rushing quarterback anymore. The Chiefs' best backup options are Brashad Smith or rookie fifth-rounder Emmett Johnson. That means very little stands between Walker and a massive workload in 2026.

And let's not forget Kyler Murray. He's not Josh Allen or Patrick Mahomes, but he doesn't need to be. With the right supporting cast and a clearer path to production, Murray could be a sneaky fantasy gem this season. The offseason moves have set the stage for a more explosive year—and fantasy managers should take notice.
