As the NFL offseason approaches, several key roster decisions by AFC South teams could significantly impact the fantasy football value of players in the division. The Colts' search for a new starting quarterback, the Texans' backfield uncertainty, and the Jaguars' plans at running back are among the top storylines to watch.

Why it matters

The AFC South has been one of the more competitive divisions in the NFL in recent years, with the Jaguars, Texans, and Titans each winning the division title twice in the past six seasons. How these teams address key roster needs this offseason will shape the fantasy football landscape for the 2026 season.

The details

The Colts are facing a major question at quarterback after a one-year rental of Daniel Jones ended due to a ruptured Achilles. With former high draft pick Anthony Richardson likely on his way out, Indianapolis must find a new starter, which could impact the fantasy values of receivers Michael Pittman Jr., Josh Downs, and Alec Pierce. In Houston, the backfield is in flux with uncertainty around Joe Mixon's foot injury and Nick Chubb's post-prime abilities. Woody Marks is currently penciled in as the starter, but the Texans will almost certainly add another running back who could push Marks for the top job. Meanwhile, the Jaguars have an opening at running back with Travis Etienne likely leaving in free agency. Bhayshul Tuten is in line for a bigger role, but Jacksonville may look to add another back to share the workload, which would impact Tuten's fantasy value.

• Andrew Luck retired from the NFL 7 years ago.
• Daniel Jones' one-year rental with the Colts ended due to a ruptured Achilles last season.
• Woody Marks will turn 26 years old later this year.
