NFL Free Agency Shakeup: How D.J. Moore Trade and David Montgomery Deal Impact 2025 Fantasy Rankings
Published 1 week, 2 days ago
Description
In the last few days leading into NFL free agency, fantasy football rankings have shifted dramatically due to key trades and injury updates. Rotowire reports the legal tampering window opened today, with free agency starting March 11, urging dynasty managers to buy low on players like undervalued backs before values spike.
Sharp Football Analysis details two massive moves: D.J. Moore was traded from the Bears to the Buffalo Bills for a second-round pick and a fifth, boosting his fantasy stock alongside Bills receivers Khalil Shakir, Dalton Kincaid, Rome Odunze, Colston Loveland, and Luther Burden III, as analyzed by Rich Hribar. Meanwhile, the Lions traded David Montgomery to the Texans, elevating Jahmyr Gibbs to clear lead back in Detroit—Gibbs already had 65% of carries and 19.7% targets from Week 10 last season. For Montgomery, Houston's poor run game (27th in yards per carry) offers more touches despite O-line woes, sidelining Woody Marks.
NBC Sports and CBS Sports confirm these impacts, with Gibbs rising in rankings and Montgomery gaining volume in a defense-heavy Texans scheme under DeMeco Ryans. ESPN echoes Gibbs' surge post-trade.
Injuries loom large per Draft Sharks: QBs like Jayden Daniels (elbow, hamstring, knee) and Bo Nix (ankle fracture) face long recoveries, while Michael Penix's third ACL tear raises flags. RBs Quinshon Judkins (dislocated ankle, fibula fracture) and Jonathon Brooks (repeat ACL) lag in rehab. WRs show promise—Malik Nabers (ACL/meniscus) eyes September return, Brandon Aiyuk is 22 months post-ACL for Week 1, Garrett Wilson has no 2026 concerns from knee bruise. Tyreek Hill's severe knee dislocation at age 31 risks production drop; Tank Dell's multi-ligament knee surgeries cloud his outlook. TEs George Kittle (Achilles) could return by October if perfect, Tucker Kraft ahead of schedule post-ACL.
Other buzz: Travis Kelce returns to Chiefs with recovering Patrick Mahomes (knee), per NBC Sports' Ian Rapoport. CBS notes franchise tags like Jets on Breece Hall, Falcons on Kyle Pitts, Colts on Daniel Jones, Cowboys on George Pickens.
These moves reshape dynasty and redraft boards—prioritize Gibbs, Moore, and healthy returnees like Nabers.
