Even though Houston Texans wide receiver Jaylin Noel figures to be a bigger part of the passing game in his second season in 2026, most fantasy managers won't be looking his way after he posted a 26-292-2 line in 17 regular-season games (three starts) last year after he was selected in the third round (79th […]

Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell (knee) had a promising rookie season in 2023 after he was taken with the 69th overall pick in the third round out of the University of Houston, catching 47 of his 75 targets for 709 yards and seven touchdowns in just 11 regular-season games. It all came crashing down […]

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Devaughn Vele showed some flashes of potential last season. He hauled in 25 receptions, 293 receiving yards, and two touchdowns in 13 games last season. Those aren't bad numbers for someone who served as the third or fourth receiver behind Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed. It won't get easier for […]

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Brenen Thompson might be able to carve out a consistent role for himself right away. The Chargers selected Thompson in the fourth-round of this year's draft.

The Athletic's Zack Rosenblatt thinks that New York Jets running back Isaiah Davis is the early favorite to win the RB2 role in training camp this summer behind starter Breece Hall. Davis' primary competition will be Braelon Allen. Both backs will have opportunities in change-of-pace roles behind Hall. Allen isn't big and strong like Allen, […]

As he enters his sixth season in 2026, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Justin Fields will be suiting up for his fourth NFL team. The 27-year-old opened the 2025 season as the starter for the New York Jets, but he struggled mightily across nine starts before eventually being benched. At this point, the high-end prospect pedigree […]

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford put together a dominant season in 2025, completing 65.0% of his pass attempts for 4,707 yards, 46 touchdowns, and eight interceptions across 17 games.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley (leg) battled through an injury-ravaged 2025 season, as hamstring and leg injuries limited him to just seven games.

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid is entering his final two seasons with the Bills after the team exercised his fifth-year option in late March.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson Sr. is entering the final year of his rookie contract after the team decided to decline the fifth-year option on his contract in April.
