Jayden Higgins' Dynasty Arrow is Pointing Up With Clear Path to WR2 Role in Houston

Houston Texans wide receiver Jayden Higgins finished just inside the top 50 wideouts in half-PPR fantasy points in his first year in the NFL in 2025 after the Texans selected him 34th overall in the second round out of Iowa State in last year's draft. He caught 41 of his 68 targets for 525 yards […]

Jakobi Meyers a Sell-High Candidate in Dynasty Formats?

Drake Maye to Make a Big Leap in 2026 in Second Season With Josh McDaniels?

Is Christian Watson on the Verge of a Legitimate Breakout?

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson missed the first seven weeks of 2025 as he recovered from the torn ACL that ended his 2024 campaign, but upon his return, he was one of the best fantasy wideouts in the game.

Khalil Shakir's Dynasty Value in Decline

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir has led the team in targets, receptions, and receiving yards in each of the past two seasons, but both years have finished with him as the WR38 in half-PPR formats.

Travis Hunter Still a Risky Buy, Even at his Sunken Dynasty Cost

Jacksonville Jaguars two-way player Travis Hunter has become one of the most challenging dynasty valuations in the game, which was always going to be the case with a player of such a unique skill set. The second overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Hunter played 66.2% of his rookie snaps on offense and looked […]

Gunnar Helm a Dynasty Sleeper with Room to Grow

Easily overlooked behind some of the instant difference-makers at the top of the class, Tennessee Titans tight end Gunnar Helm was one of six rookies at the position to finish 2025 with more than 40 receptions.

Is Drake Maye Becoming the Most Valuable Player in Superflex Dynasty Leagues?

In what was his first full season as a starter, New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye missed out on the MVP award by a single first-place vote in what was the closest MVP race in over 20 years. He did so at the age of 23 with a league-average offensive line and one of the […]

Jordan Mason a Short-Term Dynasty Depth Piece

Minnesota Vikings running back Jordan Mason was a popular breakout candidate after the team acquired him from San Francisco in the 2025 offseason, but he was a top-20 fantasy back in only two weeks and finished the year as the RB35. His 4.8 yards per carry, while representing the lowest mark of his career, was […]

Can Dontayvion Wicks Stand Out in Another Crowded Offense?

Eagles wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks became part of the team's new-look offense when Philadelphia sent two Day 3 picks to Green Bay to acquire him in April.

Chuba Hubbard's Dynasty Value Back on the Rise

Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard has seen his dynasty value fluctuate wildly since coming into the league as a fourth-round pick out of Oklahoma State in the 2021 NFL Draft.

Juwan Johnson an Overlooked Buy Candidate for Contending Dynasty Managers

New Orleans tight end Juwan Johnson will turn 30 at the start of the regular season, and with the Saints spending four of their first seven picks in the 2026 NFL Draft on pass-catchers, including Georgia tight end Oscar Delp in the third round, he has seen his dynasty stock take a hit. Ahead of […]

Kimani Vidal Easily Acquirable as a High-Value Insurance Back

Los Angeles Chargers running back Kimani Vidal led the team in carries and rushing yards in 2025, with Omarion Hampton and Najee Harris missing a combined 22 games.

The start of the 2026 fantasy football season is quickly approaching, and before you know it, draft season will be here.

10 Instant Impact NFL Rookies: First-Year Breakout Candidates (2026)

NFL rookies are in for a very difficult learning curve. This sport is taxing on both the mind and the body, and almost every NFL player is considerably better than most college players.

Fantasy Football Running Back Fallers: 4 RBs Set to Lose Touches in 2026

The lifespan of an NFL running back is shorter than that of most positions. They take a beating, play in and play out. And as they age, there's a chance they become less productive and are ultimately phased out. In this article, we'll take a look at four veteran running backs set to lose touches […]

Ja'Tavion Sanders a Dynasty Dart Throw With Potential Untapped Upside

Carolina Panthers tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders has quietly flown below fantasy radars for much of his first two seasons in the league, and while it's entirely possible that is where he'll remain, he's shown just enough to consider throwing a late-round dart his way in dynasty startups or inquiring about his acquisition cost in existing […]

Geno Smith a Low-Cost Dynasty Add Who Still Comes with Risk

New York Jets quarterback Geno Smith is RotoBaller's dynasty QB41, and following a disastrous season with the Raiders in which he threw for barely over 3,000 yards and nearly as many interceptions as touchdowns, the 35-year-old veteran has become one of the most easily acquirable starting quarterbacks in fantasy. With New York's offensive line notably […]

C.J. Stroud Still a Capable and Undervalued Dynasty QB2

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud was once viewed as the QB2 in consensus dynasty rankings, fresh off an incredibly efficient 2023 rookie campaign in which he threw for 4,108 yards and 23 touchdowns to only five interceptions. Following two disappointing seasons, and last seen in arguably the worst game of his career in a Divisional […]

More Big Plays in 2026 Could Transform Bhayshul Tuten into a Dynasty Steal

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Bhayshul Tuten was a fourth-round pick in a running back-heavy 2025 draft class, and although he only produced 386 yards from scrimmage as a rookie, he clearly showed enough for the team to bypass the position entirely in the 2026 NFL Draft, despite the departure of Travis Etienne Jr. in free […]

Is Joe Mixon's NFL Career Over?

Free agent running back Joe Mixon has all but fallen off the fantasy radar following a mysteriously deleted 2025 season stemming from a foot/ankle injury first reported during organized team activities with the Houston Texans.

RJ Harvey to be Relegated to Third-Down Role After Rookie RB Addition?

Denver Broncos running back RJ Harvey had a strong first season in the NFL after the Broncos took him 60th overall in the second round out of Central Florida, totaling 896 scrimmage yards and 12 total touchdowns (seven rushing, five receiving). It certainly helped that J.K. Dobbins missed half of the season with a foot […]

A Lot of Uncertainty Surrounding Baker Mayfield Going into Fourth Year in Tampa

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield is as gutsy as they come on the football field, and he had back-to-back 4,000-yard seasons in 2023 and 2024 in his first two years with the organization. However, he went from being the QB4 in fantasy in 2024 to the QB12 last year after finishing with 3,693 passing […]

Brian Robinson Jr. a Must-Have Handcuff in Dynasty Leagues?

Running back Brian Robinson Jr. went from backing up San Francisco 49ers All-Pro RB Christian McCaffrey in 2025 to backing up All-Pro RB Bijan Robinson in Atlanta after signing a one-year, $2.5 million deal with the Falcons in free agency in March. The 27-year-old former third-round selection by the Washington Commanders in 2022 out of […]

Sam LaPorta Could be Excellent Buy-Low Candidate for Risk-Tolerant Managers

Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta (back) burst onto the scene as a rookie in 2023 and immediately became a high-end TE1 in fantasy, catching 86 of 120 targets for 889 yards and 10 touchdowns in 17 regular-season games to finish as the overall TE1 in half-PPR scoring. Unfortunately, the 25-year-old former second-rounder (34th overall) […]

Jordyn Tyson on a "Maintenance Plan" During Offseason Workouts

New Orleans Saints rookie first-round wide receiver Jordyn Tyson practiced on only one day of the Saints' two-day rookie minicamp, and head coach Kellen Moore said he was one of several players on a "maintenance plan" to build them up after a significant time away from football, according to Katherine Terrell of ESPN. Tyson, who […]

Kenneth Walker III One of Dynasty's Biggest Risers for 2026

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kenneth Walker III has had a storybook run over the past three-plus months, signing a three-year, $43 million deal shortly after earning Super Bowl MVP honors, and those accomplishments have not been ignored by dynasty managers.

D'Andre Swift an Underappreciated Dynasty Buy Candidate

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift has finished as the RB23 or better in each of his six seasons in the league, including a career-best RB15 finish in 2025, but at RotoBaller's dynasty RB25, he remains one of the league's perpetually underappreciated fantasy assets. 2025 seventh-round pick Kyle Monangai drew praise for a mid-season stretch […]
