Dynasty Fantasy Football Wide Receiver Player Outlooks

Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan finished his first professional season as the fantasy WR15 on his way to being named Offensive Rookie of the Year, and his arrow is realistically still pointing up. While it took him six weeks to score his first NFL touchdown, with only two receiving touchdowns through Week 10, he eventually found a knack for it, scoring five times over his final seven games. McMillan led the Panthers with a 26.3% target share, with an even more impressive 32.4% share of all first-down targets.

While he could benefit from an improvement to the quality of targets, it's unlikely that anyone currently on the roster poses a serious threat to eat into his workload in year two. The Panthers have spent their last two first-round picks on the wide receiver position, and even with general manager Dan Morgan recently insinuating a third straight swing would not be out of the question, it seems improbable with several more glaring needs on the defensive side of the ball. McMillan is RotoBaller's WR9 in dynasty rankings, and he could be one of the safest young assets to build around.

Khalil Shakir, Buffalo Bills

Buffalo wide receiver Khalil Shakir has finished each of the past two seasons as a low-end WR3 in PPR formats, but following the Bills' acquisition of DJ Moore via trade, he has fallen to WR56 in RotoBaller's dynasty rankings. While Shakir is likely to see a decline in volume, the drawn converge and space created by Moore could further open up one of the strongest elements of his game. Shakir's 7.7 yards after catch per reception since entering the league in 2022 is an elite number, aided by his connection with Josh Allen in off-schedule moments.

That chemistry could still make him a trusted target when plays break down, allowing Shakir to supplement some of his volume-based production with big plays. While his overall profile could shift from a high-floor, low-ceiling safety net to more of a boom-or-bust option, the 26-year-old Shakir should still find his way to fantasy relevance in 2026 and beyond, and is likely undervalued in dynasty circles.

Zay Flowers, Baltimore Ravens

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers is coming off the best individual fantasy season of his young career. He was the overall WR7 last year, catching 86 passes for 1,211 yards and five touchdowns. He had not previously ranked higher than WR25 in a single season, so jumping to the seventh spot was a major leap. It certainly helped that he set new career-highs in targets, receptions, and yards. While Flowers is a major offseason riser in dynasty fantasy football rankings, there are a couple of factors for fantasy managers to consider.

First of all, the Ravens could have a different-looking offense next season after replacing head coach John Harbaugh with Jesse Minter and replacing offensive coordinator Todd Monken with Declan Doyle. Additionally, and perhaps more importantly, it has been rumored that the Ravens are considering selecting a receiver in the first round of this month's NFL Draft. On one hand, that's good news, because it means that the Ravens want to place more emphasis on the passing game after being run-heavy in the past.

On the other hand, adding a rookie receiver could lead to a reduction in targets for Flowers. Lamar Jackson averaged a modest 23.2 pass attempts per game last season, so Flowers needs all the volume that he can get. The Ravens' wide receiver room is certainly worth monitoring as the 2026 NFL Draft gets underway on April 23.

CeeDee Lamb, Dallas Cowboys

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb is listed as a player trending down in RotoBaller's latest dynasty fantasy football rankings. The 27-year-old is coming off the worst fantasy season of his career, catching 75 passes for 1,077 yards and three touchdowns while ranking as the overall WR22 in PPR leagues. Part of the reason for Lamb's step backward is that he missed three games due to injury. If you extrapolate his stats over a full 17-game season, he still would have ranked as the overall WR7.

However, that's easier said than done, as Lamb hasn't been healthy for all 17 games since 2023. The presence of George Pickens is another factor to consider. While Lamb and Pickens were able to coexist last year, the former saw his volume share drop to 8.4 targets per game, which was his lowest mark since 2021. That's not to say that managers should panic about Lamb or trade him away in dynasty leagues, but it's time to acknowledge that he faces an uphill battle to get into the very top tier of dynasty receivers. As it stands, he finds himself in the second tier, ranking as RotoBaller's WR7 for dynasty fantasy football.
