Fantasy Football Dynasty Rankings (June 2026)
Dynasty Fantasy Football Rankings: Trending Up
Isaiah Likely, TE, New York Giants (+25)
Previous rank: 128
Current rank: 103
Over the last three seasons, the fantasy world has been waiting for an Isaiah Likely fantasy breakout. After all, between 2023 and 2024, the former Raven caught 72 passes for 888 yards, averaging 12.3 yards per reception and accumulating 11 touchdowns over that 33-game sample. Even last season, there was a two-week period in which Likely posted back-to-back TE10 weeks.
In Baltimore, Likely faced a couple of challenges. First, the Ravens have always been known as a run-heavy team using the run to set up the pass. Second, Likely had to sit back and bide his time behind Mark Andrews, a perennial top-5 tight end in the league over those first four seasons of Likely’s professional career.
With the Ravens committing to Andrews for the next couple of seasons, it was time for Likely to search for a better opportunity and test the free-agency waters. This past offseason, Likely inked a new deal with the New York Giants and joins a familiar face in head coach John Harbaugh.

— NFL (@NFL) March 11, 2026
Harbaugh is very familiar with Likely’s skill set, having coached him in Baltimore throughout his career. The coach also knows that in nine games in which the Ravens did not have Andrews in the lineup, Likely averaged 12.5 fantasy points per game.
With much uncertainty still surrounding Malik Nabers and his health entering the 2026 season, it’s not out of the realm of possibilities that Likely could become Jaxson Dart's go-to option and lead the team in targets this season. Last season, Theo Johnson averaged 8.5 fantasy points for the Giants, topping 10 fantasy points in seven of 15 contests.
DeVonta Smith, WR, Philadelphia Eagles (+13)
Previous rank: 50
Current rank: 37
One of the worst-kept secrets is no longer a secret. The Philadelphia Eagles officially traded disgruntled wide receiver A.J. Brown to the New England Patriots for a first-round pick in 2028 and a fifth-round pick in 2027.
What’s that mean for fantasy? Well, for starters, it means DeVonta Smith has an opportunity to become a No. 1 option for Jalen Hurts in the Eagles' passing attack. Behind Smith, the Eagles currently employ 2026 first-round selection Makai Lemon, 2026 second-round selection Eli Stowers, Dallas Goedert, Dontayvion Wicks, and Marquise Brown.
With Brown's departure, there are now 131 vacated targets and 1,259 receiving yards available to be dispersed among Eagles pass-catchers, with Smith likely to add to his previous season's totals. We have seen Smith produce without Brown over the previous two seasons, averaging over 14 fantasy points per game when Brown was unable to suit up, dating back to 2022.
Philadelphia’s offense struggled at times last season. Enter Sean Mannion as the new offensive coordinator. Mannion’s offense should create more opportunities for everyone involved, meaning even more chances for Smith to prove his worth as a true WR1 in this league.

It seems that people tend to forget that Smith has seen 100 or more targets in four of his five seasons in Philadelphia, posting three 1,000-yard campaigns over that period and averaging 13 yards per reception, all the while playing the second option to Brown.
Before being selected by the Eagles in the 2021 draft, Smith caught 117 passes for 1,856 yards and 23 touchdowns, winning a Heisman Trophy at Alabama.
Jonathon Brooks, RB, Carolina Panthers (+12)
Previous rank: 130
Current rank: 118
When you aren’t around, people tend to forget you. Since being drafted in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft, Jonathon Brooks has only suited up for three contests, totaling nine carries for 22 rushing yards.
Meanwhile, in his absence, Chuba Hubbard has churned out 1,706 rushing yards on 384 carries while Rico Dowdle averaged 4.6 yards per carry, accumulating 1,076 yards on 236 attempts last season.
For those with short memories, here is a reminder of just how talented Brooks is. The last time Brooks was healthy, he averaged 6.1 yards per carry for the Texas Longhorns in a season in which he produced 1,139 rushing yards and 10 rushing touchdowns.
Brooks also finished that season with 25 receptions for 286 receiving yards in just 11 games; his numbers would have been more impressive if not for the first of two ACL tears that shut him down for the final four contests.
Brooks’ college production is enough to get the fantasy world excited, should he earn opportunities. As we enter the 2026 season, HC Dave Canales has already spoken about getting Brooks involved in the passing game and about finding more ways and packages to do so.
With Dowdle’s offseason departure, Brooks will have an opportunity to compete with Hubbard for touches out of the backfield on early downs as well.
Hubbard will likely be afforded early opportunities, but if he continues to struggle as he did last season and is outperformed by Dowdle, then Brooks could find himself in an excellent position to earn touches and gain confidence.
Other Notable Risers: Colby Parkinson (+103), MarShawn Lloyd (+52), Eli Heidenreich (+21), Jeff Caldwell (+17), Parker Washington (+15), Kenneth Gainwell (+15), Cade Klubnik (+13), David Montgomery (+11), Denzel Boston (+11), Luther Burden III (+9), Colston Loveland (+9), Chase Brown (+8), Christian Watson (+8), Skyler Bell (+8)
Dynasty Fantasy Football Rankings: Trending Down
Rashee Rice, WR, Kansas City Chiefs (-24)
Previous rank: 26
Current rank: 50
It has not been a good couple of offseasons for Rashee Rice these past two seasons. Rice was sentenced to 30 days in jail and five years' probation for his role in a multicar crash.
That was followed by a six-game suspension in August 2025 for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy. In May 2026, Rice tested positive for marijuana, which violated the abstention rules of his probation, resulting in a 30-day jail sentence.
If this wasn’t enough to drive his value down, Rice is also recovering from knee surgery and was granted special accommodations while in prison to rehabilitate that knee. The talent is undeniable, but the self-destructive nature of Rice cannot be ignored. Depending on the cost, Rice could be a value for teams willing to take a chance as frustrated managers cut their losses.
Brandon Aiyuk, WR, San Francisco 49ers (-19)
Previous rank: 145
Current rank: 164
Like the aforementioned Rice, fantasy managers left rostering Brandon Aiyuk may also be looking to cut their ties with the talented receiver. One of the top attributes for fantasy assets is their availability, and when looking at a receiver who sat out the entirety of the 2025 season, he followed that up with a warrant for his arrest this offseason.
Looking at the 49ers' financial obligation with Aiyuk, we see that if he were cut before June 1, San Francisco would have faced $29.5 million in dead cap. Aiyuk is due $14.6 million if he’s on the roster in 2026; however, post June 1, that dead cap drops to $8.3 million. It would seem that Aiyuk is doing everything he can to ensure a return to San Francisco is no longer an option.
That said, the “fallacy of change” is real, and there will be a team out there that believes it has a structure in place to change the disgruntled receiver. When that occurs, then fantasy managers will also have an opportunity to receive the highest return on their investment.

— NFL (@NFL) August 29, 2024
When Aiyuk was engaged, he was one of the best at creating separation, leading all receivers and tight ends in Separation Win Rate in 2024 at 30.5%. That season, the next closest receiver sat at 23.7%. If you look at last season, Davante Adams led in that category at 23.2%. Aiyuk is just a few seasons removed from a 75-reception, 1,342-yard campaign.
RJ Harvey, RB, Denver Broncos (-11)
Previous rank: 84
Current rank: 95
One running back whom fantasy managers may need to move on from this offseason is RJ Harvey of the Denver Broncos. With J.K. Dobbins set to return and healthy, the best Harvey could ask for is to have a significant role in the passing game. Last season, Dobbins averaged 5.0 yards per rushing attempt while Harvey was limited to 3.7 yards per carry.
In Harvey's rookie season, he witnessed Dobbins' season cut short after 10 games and assumed more opportunities within the Broncos offense, but finished with just 146 rushing attempts for 540 yards. However, Harvey did make an impact in the passing game, having caught 47 passes for 356 receiving yards.
Now, if it were just the two backs battling it out for touches out of the Denver backfield, that would be one thing. Not only are Dobbins and Jaleel McLaughlin returning to the fold, but Denver also selected Jonah Coleman early in the fourth round in this past April's draft. During Coleman's four-year collegiate tenure, the Washington and Arizona product averaged 5.5 yards per rushing attempt.
One other thing to consider before handing the receiving-down role to Harvey is that Coleman finished with 23 or more receptions in each of his final collegiate seasons. In his final season at Washington, Coleman caught 31 passes for 354 receiving yards, which is more than Harvey had in any season at Central Florida.
Other Notable Fallers: Tyreek Hill (-13), Kimani Vidal (-12), Jacoby Brissett (-11), Zachariah Branch (-11), De'Zhaun Stribling (-9), Jauan Jennings (-9), Tyrone Tracy Jr. (-9), Zach Charbonnet (-8), Romeo Doubs (-8), Elic Ayomanor (-8), Oronde Gadsden II (-7), Jake Ferguson (-7), Ladd McConkey (-6), Christian McCaffrey (-6), TreVeyon Henderson (-6)
Dynasty Fantasy Football Trade Value Chart
Dynasty Fantasy Football Trade Chart: Name to Know
Gunnar Helm, TE, Tennessee Titans (+23)
Previous rank: 217
Current rank: 194
We already know that the tight end position is a fantasy wasteland. We also know that every year, there is at least one tight end who emerges from the depths of despair and outperforms their ADP, ending up as a top-tier tight end option in fantasy.
In 2021, Dalton Schultz, Mike Gesicki, and Noah Fant finished the season as TE1s in PPR formats. In 2022, we had Pat Freiermuth, Tyler Higbee, and Taysom Hill. In 2023, rookie Sam LaPorta led all tight ends in fantasy scoring with 225.4 fantasy points, while Logan Thomas’ 8.3 fantasy points per game had him tied with Kyle Pitts Sr.
In 2024, Jonnu Smith finished as the TE4 overall while Cade Otton finished as TE13. Last season, rookies Colston Loveland and Harold Fannin Jr. finished inside the top 12, while AJ Barner was the TE14 overall.
We could go even further, as this historical trend dates back to the origins of fantasy football as we know it. What every tight end mentioned had in common was opportunity. That’s something Gunnar Helm has in Tennessee as he enters his second season.
Tennessee is much improved on the offensive side of the ball, with additions in the passing game made in both the draft and free agency, including Carnell Tate and Wan’Dale Robinson.
Add in Cam Ward's maturation as he enters Year 2, and we have an offense poised for a breakout. More importantly, we know that due to poor offensive line play, Ward had a tendency to look for Chig Okonkwo. That is good news for Robinson and Helm underneath, as Okonkwo's departure opens up 79 additional targets.
WARD TO HELM FOR 34-YARD TD!

— NFL (@NFL) December 14, 2025
With Okonkwo in the lineup, Helm saw a 52.8% snap share; however, Helm was seventh among rookies with a 23.7% target rate (target rate, not target share). When he got the ball in his hands, Helm had an impressive 9.1% evaded-tackle rate. In Helm’s final season at Texas, he recorded 786 receiving yards and 60 receptions, proving that he can be a viable fantasy option if afforded an opportunity.
Dynasty Fantasy Football Trade Chart: Maximize Return
Deshaun Watson, QB, Cleveland Browns (+37)
Previous rank: 251
Current rank: 214
One fantasy asset managers should be paying close attention to is that of Deshaun Watson, who is already penciled in as the Browns' starting quarterback for 2026.
This is the same quarterback who faced off-field scrutiny and then suffered multiple Achilles injuries. Currently, Watson’s ADP has him outside the top 200; however, as the summer months drag on, look for that number to rise.
Watson likely only carries value in superflex or 2QB leagues. Still, with the addition of Todd Monken as head coach and Travis Switzer as offensive coordinator, there is an expectation that we could see more designed run calls for Watson in the future.
Cleveland also revamped its offensive line (Spencer Fano) and added weapons in the passing game with the selections of KC Concepcion and Denzel Boston during the draft.
Since arriving in Cleveland in 2022, Watson has yet to play in more than seven contests in any season and has suited up in just 19, so much of what he is capable of remains unseen.
That said, it’s really the first time anyone has talked about Watson as a potential fantasy option in some time. If Shedeur Sanders can push him through camp, there is a sell window available. The return won’t be significant, but it’s better than the nothing you’ll receive come Week 3.
Dynasty Fantasy Football Trade Chart: Buy the Dip
Josh Jacobs, RB, Green Bay Packers (-8)
Previous rank: 57
Current rank: 64
With all the legal conversations surrounding Rice and Aiyuk, it’s easy to paint Josh Jacobs with a similar brush after his run-in with the law over the last couple of weeks. With everything that has occurred in this offseason, it is easy to overreact to every development, including the DA’s decision not to press charges at this time. However, the investigation is ongoing.
When looking more closely at the case, the longer the investigation continues, the less likely Jacobs is to be charged and thus avoid an NFL suspension. What we are seeing is that his market has experienced slight depreciation due to the legal process, creating a favorable opportunity for managers willing to take on the risk at a discount.
Much like Rice last offseason, there is a profit to be had, and fantasy managers on both sides are playing a game of fantasy roulette. It’s about risk tolerance, and at this time, with the information we have, there is plenty to be optimistic about when evaluating Jacobs and his fantasy outlook. However, that could also change quickly in the blink of an eye.
