Blake Corum Remains an Elite Handcuff in Dynasty Leagues
Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum continues to be a top handcuff while also offering standalone value in deeper leagues. Corum took on a larger role during the second half of the 2025 season, totaling 405 rushing yards and five touchdowns over the final six games. From Week 13-16, he was the overall RB8 in PPR leagues, despite Kyren Williams being the lead back and Corum having just two catches during that window. Corum already ranks as the RB32 in RotoBaller's latest dynasty rankings, and he has top-12 upside if Williams were to miss time. Dynasty managers should consider sending out trade offers for Corum this offseason. Although his price tag went up based on his strong 2025 campaign, he's still likely priced below his true value. He's a particularly valuable target for managers who have Williams on their roster and want a little insurance in case he goes down.

Consistency the Key for Chris Godwin Jr. in Dynasty Leagues
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin Jr. continues to have immense dynasty upside, but staying healthy will be a key factor in whether he lives up to his potential. Godwin's fantasy production peaked as the WR2 in 2019, but he had a streak of six consecutive top-32 seasons from 2018 through 2023. Managers would love to see him return to that form. Now that Mike Evans has departed for San Francisco, Godwin has the potential to reassert himself as the top pass catcher in Tampa Bay. Emeka Egbuka has the makings of a future superstar, but he was inconsistent at times last year, setting the stage for Godwin to be the most dependable Bucs receiver in 2026 and beyond. Injuries cost Godwin nearly half of his season last year, but he was productive when healthy, catching 24 passes for 291 yards and two touchdowns from Week 13-17. During that span, he was the WR15 overall. He has fallen to WR48 in RotoBaller's latest dynasty rankings, but that's partly due to his age (30). He could still be productive over the next few years, supporting a Baker Mayfield resurgence after the quarterback's subpar 2025 campaign. If Godwin can be healthy for 15+ games in 2026, he could be a top-24 fantasy receiver.

Can Managers Look to Sell High on David Montgomery This Year?
Houston Texans running back David Montgomery is a dynasty hold for now, but a strong start to the 2026 season could position him as an intriguing sell-high candidate. Montgomery has maintained his ranking as the overall RB29 in dynasty leagues, but now that he's 28 years old and was shipped off to the Texans in an offseason trade, managers might be hesitant to trade for him. With that being said, a productive start to the 2026 season would make him a top target for dynasty managers looking to win now. We fully expect to see Montgomery have a significant role in Houston after Woody Marks showed that he probably can't handle an every-down role. If Montgomery gets short-yardage situations (including goal-line snaps) and even some early-down work, he'll increase his trade value, becoming a midseason sell-high candidate for managers looking to stock up draft picks. On the other hand, if Montgomery's current managers are in a win-now position, he'll remain a "hold" with RB2 upside. After all, he had 900+ scrimmage yards and eight touchdowns last season, even though he was the clear No. 2 behind Jahmyr Gibbs.

Malik Willis a Low-Cost Dynasty Target in Miami?
Miami Dolphins quarterback Malik Willis isn't the flashiest name in fantasy football, but his new three-year contract suggests that he could be a steady dynasty option going forward. The Dolphins made a substantial financial investment that indicates Willis should be the starter for at least two seasons in Miami. That type of stability puts him on the fantasy radar, even though he isn't a very talented passer. He makes up for some accuracy concerns with a dynamic rushing ability that allowed him to rack up fantasy points during limited action in 2025. Between Weeks 16 and 17 with the Packers last year, he totaled four touchdowns, 104 rushing yards, and one turnover. The Dolphins appear to be heading in a run-heavy direction with Willis and De'Von Achane, as well as the release of Tyreek Hill and the trade of Jaylen Waddle. Allowing Willis to run the ball is good for his fantasy managers, as long as he can stay healthy. The guaranteed starting role puts Willis on the fantasy radar as a low-end QB2, making him an intriguing low-cost trade target in dynasty fantasy football leagues this summer. He ranks as the overall QB24 in RotoBaller's latest dynasty rankings.

Can Terrance Ferguson Still be the Tight End to Roster in Los Angeles?
Los Angeles Rams tight end Terrance Ferguson faces even more competition in 2026 than he did last season, but the opportunity still exists for him to separate himself as the organization's tight end of the future. In addition to returning veterans Colby Parkinson and Tyler Higbee, the Rams spent a second-round pick on Ohio State tight end prospect Max Klare. While that's some serious draft capital, we can't discount the late-season emergence that Ferguson displayed last year. The Oregon product had five catches, 87 yards, and two touchdowns over his final two games as a rookie in 2025, and he's a potential breakout candidate heading into Year 2. For what it's worth, the expert rankers agree. Despite the addition of Klare, Ferguson still ranks as the overall TE29 in RotoBaller's latest dynasty fantasy football rankings.

Can Ted Hurst Find Consistent Fantasy Success in a Crowded Receiver Room?
With the Tampa Bay Buccaneers spending a third-round pick on perimeter wide receiver Ted Hurst, he steps into the league with colossal shoes to fill. For the first time since 2013, the Buccaneers will be without six-time Pro Bowler Mike Evans, after the 32-year-old wideout signed a three-year deal with the 49ers in free agency. At 6'3" and 206 pounds, Hurst profiles as the most likely player to inherit Evans' X-role on the boundary, but the receiver depth in Tampa runs deep, with a versatile group of pass-catchers capable of playing across the formation. For Hurst to eventually earn an every-down role in two-receiver sets, his most direct competition could come from third-year receiver Jalen McMillan. Reports out of OTAs have suggested that McMillan has put the neck injury that limited him to only four games in 2025 squarely behind him, and he has looked like the best receiver on the field at times. A younger prospect, with the bulk of his collegiate success coming as a downfield ball-winner, Hurst profiles as a boom-or-bust receiver who could struggle to consistently reach his ceiling early in his career, but in a weak draft class, he slots in as RotoBaller's rookie WR12.

Jayden Reed Still an Unproven Dynasty Asset
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed has been one of the most frustrating fantasy assets since coming into the league as a 2023 second-round pick out of Michigan State. He is unquestionably talented, having flashed throughout his three-year career, but operating primarily out of the slot in a league trending toward fewer three-receiver sets, he's never seen the consistent usage to make him an every-week must-start player. With the Packers' leading receiver from 2025, Romeo Doubs, departing through free agency and the team committing to Reed in the form of a three-year, $50.25 million extension, it's entirely possible Green Bay envisions an expanded role for him in 2026. History, however, suggests that outside work in two-receiver sets is still more likely to go to Christian Watson and 2025 first-round pick Matthew Golden, with Reed seeing only nine career routes with fewer than three receivers on the field. Coming off a season in which he missed 10 games with a broken collarbone and never managed higher than a 65% snap share in his return, Reed has fallen to WR51 in RotoBaller's dynasty rankings.

Brenton Strange a Safe, Young Dynasty Depth Piece
Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Brenton Strange missed five mid-season games in 2025 with a hip injury that landed him on injured reserve. After returning to the field in Week 12, he played the final seven games of the year on a full-season pace of 63 receptions for 816 yards and seven touchdowns, good enough to make him the fantasy TE8 over that stretch. Jacksonville boasts one of the deepest receiver groups in the league, but with at least three different players holding a reasonable claim to the team's WR1 spot in any given week, a consensus fantasy ranking within the room can hardly be agreed upon. Strange's role holds no such ambiguity, and in his 2025 games in which he played a full allotment of snaps, he saw fewer than four targets only once. While he is never going to accumulate league-winning volume, Strange provides a safe weekly floor, and with the depth chart existing as it does, he has multiple paths to an expanded role through injury to any one of the team's wideouts. At only 25 years old, Strange is RotoBaller's dynasty TE16.

Kaytron Allen in the Right Situation to Overcome Poor Draft Capital?
With rookie running back Kaytron Allen lasting all the way to pick No. 187 of the 2026 NFL Draft before the Washington Commanders selected him in the sixth round, he landed in as ideal a situation as can be found for a late Day 3 pick. No running back on the roster handled more than 37% of their team's carries last season, with the Commanders' leading rusher, Jacory Croskey-Merritt, himself a seventh-round pick in 2025. No stranger to working in a committee, Allen set the all-time Penn State rushing record while playing all four of his collegiate seasons alongside 2026 fifth-round pick Nicholas Singleton. In Washington, he will be battling veteran Jeremy McNichols for the third spot in a rotation alongside Croskey-Merritt and free agent signee Rachaad White, and with White potentially making McNichols' pass-catching role redundant, the edge could go to the rookie. At RotoBaller's dynasty RB40, Allen is not a flashy pick in the middle rounds of rookie-only drafts, but he has one of the clearer paths to immediate fantasy relevance, which is not a luxury to be overlooked in a generally unexciting draft class.

Demond Claiborne Worthy of a Late-Round Dart Throw in Dynasty Rookie Drafts
Minnesota Vikings running back Demond Claiborne was a sixth-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, a historically difficult spot from which to find fantasy success. On the rare occasions when a back with such late draft capital has made a meaningful fantasy impact, the setting is often a backfield without a clear leader. With neither Aaron Jones nor Jordan Mason handling more than 39% of the team's carries or reaching 760 yards on the ground in 2025, the landing spot in Minnesota certainly qualifies as such. Claiborne is only 5-foot-10 and 195 pounds, so he is unlikely to ever find an every-down role in the NFL, but he offers an element of speed unique to the Vikings' running back room. If he can beat out 2023 undrafted free agent Xavier Scott, he could carve out a role in a three-man rotation in an offense projected to get back on track after the worst showing of the Kevin O'Connell era. At RotoBaller's rookie RB8, Claiborne is at least worth a dart throw in the closing rounds of 2026 rookie drafts.

Tetairoa McMillan Dealing With Foot Injury During OTAs
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan (foot) missed another OTA practice on Tuesday due to a foot injury that he's been dealing with, according to Joe Person of The Athletic. It's something to watch once training camp rolls around at the end of July, but the 23-year-old second-year pass-catcher's injury isn't believed to be serious and shouldn't cause him to be limited for the start of camp. The 23-year-old was the eighth overall pick by Carolina last year out of the University of Arizona, and he did not disappoint in his rookie campaign. McMillan led the Panthers in receiving and was easily quarterback Bryce Young's go-to target through the air, catching 70 of his 122 targets for 1,014 yards and seven touchdowns in 17 regular-season starts. He should continue to be a high-volume, big-play option for fantasy managers looking for a safe receiver in the early rounds of 2026 drafts. Right now, McMillan is ranked as the No. 16 fantasy WR for redraft leagues at RotoBaller.

Aaron Donald Considering Coming Out of Retirement?
When asked by FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz if he's considering coming out of retirement and playing for the Los Angeles Rams in 2026 after they acquired All-Pro pass-rusher Myles Garrett from the Cleveland Browns on Monday, former defensive tackle Aaron Donald said, "I'm for sure flirting with the idea. Helluva an opportunity with the Super Bowl in SoFi this year. If I can find the fire, it's a possibility." The 35-year-old last played for the Rams in 2023, but we're pretty sure he could return and still be one of the best interior defensive linemen in the game. The former 13th overall pick back in 2014 out of Pittsburgh made 10 Pro Bowls and was an eight-time first-team All-Pro in his 10 seasons with the Rams. Donald retired in 2023 with 111 career sacks, 543 tackles (340 solo), 176 tackles for loss, and 260 QB hits across 154 regular-season games. Donald was also named the league's Defensive Player of the Year three times. If he were to return in 2026 and join forces with Garrett, the Rams would have by far the best pass-rushing package in the NFL.

Drake London, Falcons Agree on Four-Year Extension
The Atlanta Falcons signed wide receiver Drake London to a four-year, $141 million extension on Tuesday that is worth up to $150 million and includes $100 million guaranteed, agent Andrew Kessler told Adam Schefter of ESPN. The deal makes London the third-highest-paid receiver in the NFL with the highest average per year in Falcons franchise history. The 24-year-old former eighth overall pick in the 2022 NFL draft out of USC has only one 1,000-yard season in his first four years in the league, but he has been extremely consistent, totaling 309 receptions (497 targets) for 3,961 yards (12.8 yards per catch) and 22 touchdowns in 62 games over his four seasons. London had a career-low 68 receptions in a career-low 12 games played in 2025, but he still managed 919 receiving yards and seven scores. He should still be viewed as a top-12 fantasy wideout as he heads into Year 5, but with quarterbacks Tua Tagovailoa and Michael Penix Jr. (knee) competing for starting duties going into Week 1 this fall, there's a little more volatility in his 2026 profile.

Michael Wilson Will be "Closer to the Core" in Z Receiver Role
Arizona Cardinals head coach Mike LaFleur said that wide receiver Michael Wilson will play "closer to the core" in the Puka Nacua role as the Z receiver in 2026, according to The Arizona Republic's Theo Mackie. Former first-rounder Marvin Harrison Jr. will play the Davante Adams role as the X receiver, while Kendrick Bourne is expected to see more work in the slot than he has in the past. Wilson, 26, had a career year in 2025 in his third year in the NFL, but he only broke through after veteran quarterback Jacoby Brissett replaced the injured Kyler Murray (foot). The former third-rounder in 2023 out of Stanford caught 78 passes for 1,006 yards and seven touchdowns on 126 targets across 17 regular-season games. After his first career 1,000-yard season, the Cardinals have made it clear they are interested in giving Wilson an extension. It's good news that Brissett is back as Arizona's starter under center in 2026, but in what should be a much more balanced offense in the desert under LaFleur, the Cardinals' entire passing game is expected to take a step back. Wilson, who is ranked as RotoBaller's No. 37 fantasy WR in single-year leagues, could lead the team in targets and catches in the underneath role.

Marvin Harrison Jr. Will Play the X Role for Cardinals
Arizona Cardinals head coach Mike LaFleur said that wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. will play the Davante Adams role as the X receiver in 2026, with Michael Wilson "closer to the core" in the Puka Nacua role as the Z receiver, according to Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic. It also sounds as though Kendrick Bourne will see more work in the slot than he has in the past. Harrison, the fourth overall pick in 2024 out of Ohio State, has caught 103 of his 189 targets for 1,493 yards and 12 touchdowns in his first two years in the league, but as the No. 1 wideout taken in his draft class, he has yet to live up to his sky-high expectations. The son of former Colts receiver Marvin Harrison played in only 12 games in 2025 and missed the regular-season finale with a foot injury. He's reportedly fully healthy going into Year 3 and will come at a discount in redraft leagues after his injury-plagued 2025 campaign. With Wilson and tight end Trey McBride ascending, and in an offense that will focus much more on the run this year, Harrison has fallen to No. 34 in RotoBaller's single-season WR rankings for the upcoming 2026 season.
