Freiermuth's salary cap hit this year will decrease to $11.2 million. The 27-year-old should see more volume in Pittsburgh in his sixth year in 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. The trade occurred shortly after the Eagles signed receiver Hollywood Brown to a one-year deal, and before spending first and second-round picks on Makai Lemon and tight end […]

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. After beginning his career as a backup to Christian McCaffrey, Hubbard broke out with an RB15 finish in 2024 in a year that most […]

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. While Harris remains unsigned, Hampton is back and healthy, with the presumption that the 2025 first-round pick will handle close to a bell-cow role in his second […]

5 Fantasy Football League-Winning Sleepers: Sneaky Top-12 Upside (2026)

The start of the 2026 fantasy football season is quickly approaching, and before you know it, draft season will be here. Fantasy drafts are not won in the first or second round; it’s those mid-to-late picks that are often the difference between a good season and fantasy glory. With that in mind, here are five […]

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. The game's speed is incomparable, and its schemes are complex. As such, it is difficult for NFL rookies to make an impact […]

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. To this day, little information has been provided about the injury, with Texans general manager Nick Caserio calling it a […]

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. Walker's consensus dynasty ranking has risen more than ten spots since January, and he […]

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 […]

Ray Davis Still a Dynasty Stash Despite a Lack of Standalone Value

Buffalo running back Ray Davis has done very little through his first two seasons in the league, but he remains a frustrating dynasty hold unless the Bills make a move to prove otherwise. Davis recorded only 275 rushing yards in his second season, with more than half of that coming in a career-best Week 18 […]

Travis Kelce Now a Low-Cost Dynasty Rental

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is 36 years old and coming into his 14th season as RotoBaller's dynasty TE19. After failing to top 985 receiving yards or five touchdowns in any of his last three seasons, it's clear that his days of league-winning dominance are behind him, but he's still a steadfast producer […]

DJ Moore a Reasonable Buy Candidate Now That Dynasty Market Has Cooled

When wide receiver DJ Moore was traded to the Buffalo Bills in early March, his consensus dynasty ranking surged nearly 20 spots to WR30. In the months since, the market has cooled slightly, and he is now viewed as a borderline WR3/4. Despite landing with the best quarterback he's played with since a past-his-prime Cam […]

2026 Dynasty Fantasy Football Rookie Mock Draft: 12 Teams, Single QB

The 2026 NFL Draft is complete now, and while the majority of where a player is drafted in dynasty fantasy football should depend on their talent, landing spot is also very important to both their short-term and long-term value. There were some solid landing spots for some players, but others are now on teams that […]

Jordan James Most Likely to be 49ers' RB2 in 2026

ESPN's Nick Wagnoer writes that running back Jordan James is the most likely to win the RB2 spot for the San Francisco 49ers in 2026 behind All-Pro Christian McCaffrey. James, a fifth-round pick last year, dealt with knee and finger injuries in training camp last summer and was active for only the final three games […]

Derrick Henry Remains in RB1 Discussion

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry continues to ignore Father Time and remains a top option at his position. Over the last four seasons, Henry has finished as a top-8 RB or higher every season. Last season, Henry rushed for 1,595 yards with 16 touchdowns across 17 games with the Ravens. His stats took a […]

Ladd McConkey is Solid Buy-Low Candidate

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey was electric during his rookie season in 2024. He finished with 82 receptions for over 1,100 receiving yards during his first year in the league. Fantasy managers thought they caught lightning in a bottle with McConkey, but he struggled to find the same kind of success last season. […]

Ryan Flournoy an Intriguing Dynasty Stash Option

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Ryan Flournoy was a surprisingly solid contributor this past season. It's never easy to make a consistent impact when CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens are ahead of you on the depth chart. Due to some health problems, Flournoy was pushed into a larger role at times this past season. He made […]

Jalen Nailor is Expected to Have Larger Role in Las Vegas

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jalen Nailor could be poised for a breakout season with his new organization. After spending the last four seasons in Minnesota, Nailor signed a three-year deal with the Raiders this offseason. Nailor has been stuck as the third option behind Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison with the Vikings. Now, Nailor […]
