Is Tua Tagovailoa Worth Buying Low on in Dynasty Formats?
After spending the first six years of his NFL career with the Miami Dolphins, quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is entering his first season with the Atlanta Falcons in 2026. Tagovailoa battled through a brutal season with the Dolphins in 2025, throwing for 2,660 yards, 20 touchdowns, and 15 interceptions across 14 games. The 28-year-old now finds himself in a battle with fellow Falcons signal-caller Michael Penix Jr. (knee) for the team's QB1 role. Penix Jr. is working his way back from the torn ACL that ended his 2025 season, which could give Tagovailoa the leg up entering training camp. Tagovailoa has put together productive NFL seasons in the past, throwing for a league-leading 4,624 yards and 29 touchdowns across 17 games in 2023. The Falcons will also put a solid offensive line in front of him and have a trio of talented pass-catchers in wide receiver Drake London, tight end Kyle Pitts Sr., and running back Bijan Robinson. Tagovailoa's fantasy ceiling is capped, but a mid-career resurgence is not out of the question if he can win the starting job in Atlanta. Particularly in two-quarterback formats, dynasty managers may want to consider buying low on Tagovailoa.

Malik Washington Carries Dynasty Buy-Low Appeal Entering 2026
Across 17 games (six starts) in 2025, Miami Dolphins wide receiver Malik Washington recorded 46 receptions for 317 yards and three touchdowns on 65 targets. The 25-year-old also rushed for 110 yards and a score on 17 carries, highlighting his ability to create plays when he gets his hand on the ball. Washington's path to playing time in Miami last season opened up after an early-season injury to veteran wideout Tyreek Hill, and he could be in an even better position for a significant role in 2026 following the team's offseason trade of wide receiver Jaylen Waddle to the Denver Broncos. Washington averaged a miserable 4.9 yards per target in 2025, so his fantasy viability relies on either a high-volume role or a dramatic increase in efficiency. He may not offer tremendous dynasty upside, but the clear opportunity available to Washington in Miami makes him an intriguing buy-low candidate ahead of 2026.

Is Michael Trigg Worthy of a Dynasty Roster Spot?
Despite posting impressive testing metrics at the Scouting Combine, Dallas Cowboys tight end Michael Trigg did not hear his name called at the 2026 NFL Draft. The 23-year-old was productive in his final collegiate season at Baylor, recording 50 catches for 694 yards and six touchdowns across 11 games. However, he faces an uphill battle for a roster spot in Dallas. Cowboys tight ends Jake Ferguson, Luke Schoonmaker, and Brevyn Spann-Ford are all likely assured of roster spots, leaving Trigg fighting for the TE4 role with Princeton Fant and DJ Rogers. If Trigg can catch on in Dallas, his athleticism provides him with some long-term upside for dynasty managers. Still, the Cowboys' crowded tight end depth chart may make it difficult for Trigg to earn fantasy-relevant playing time at any point in the foreseeable future. RotoBaller currently ranks Trigg as the 42nd-best tight end in dynasty formats.

Travis Hunter Still "Viewed as a Cornerstone Piece Offensively" in Jacksonville
Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback/wide receiver Travis Hunter is "still viewed as a cornerstone piece offensively and a dangerous downfield threat," according to Gilberto Manzano of Sports Illustrated. Hunter's rookie year in 2025 was cut short after he suffered a season-ending LCL injury in Week 7. Before the injury, he played 67% of Jacksonville's offensive snaps and 36% of the team's defensive snaps, and the prevailing thought this offseason has been that his usage could shift more towards the defensive side of the ball in 2026. However, Manzano's reporting suggests that Hunter could remain heavily involved in the Jaguars passing game. The 23-year-old recorded 28 receptions for 298 yards and a touchdown on 45 targets last season and had his best game in his final appearance of the year, hauling in eight catches for 101 yards and a score on 14 targets against the Los Angeles Rams. Hunter's fantasy value is difficult to project due to his uncertain role, but he remains a high-upside wide receiver option if he can carve out consistent playing time on offense.

Seth McGowan a Dynasty Stash with a Path to an Important Insurance Role
Indianapolis Colts running back Seth McGowan was a seventh-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft after an up-and-down collegiate career that saw him make stops at four different schools, but if he can beat out 2025 fifth-round pick DJ Giddens for the team's primary backup role behind Jonathan Taylor, he could soon be viewed as one of fantasy's most valuable insurance backs. While Giddens has the better draft capital and a more complete collegiate profile, he dealt with minor injuries as a rookie and was held out of several contests as a healthy scratch, only averaging 3.7 yards per carry on his limited opportunities. Like Giddens, McGowan is a big-bodied back and capable pass-catcher, meaning whoever earns the job could render the other a non-factor on gamedays. With pads yet to be donned, any competition between the two is purely speculative at this point, but their battle bears monitoring when training camps open in summer, and at RotoBaller's rookie RB11, McGowan is worthy of a bottom-of-the-roster spot in deep dynasty leagues, at least until depth charts are sorted.

Kyren Williams Now A Dynasty Bargain Outside the Top 12 of the Position?
Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams has finished as the RB9 or better in each of the past three seasons, even cracking the top six in a 2023 season in which a high ankle sprain limited him to only 12 games. With 2024 third-round pick Blake Corum becoming a popular breakout candidate following his strong finish to the 2025 season, Williams has seen his dynasty value slip, making him an under-the-radar trade target who is still very much in play for another RB1 finish. While Corum did see his usage spike over the final stretch of the season, he never came close to supplanting Williams as the primary ball carrier and was used sparingly in the passing game. Williams still finished the season with more than 300 opportunities and almost doubled Corum in both red zone and goal line carries. With the Rams profiling as an early Super Bowl favorite, both backs should see the field often and in favorable situations. Only turning 26 before the start of the season and under contract for the next three years, Williams should continue to provide both short and long-term value and could prove to be a bargain as RotoBaller's dynasty RB16.

Ja'Marr Chase a True Dynasty Cornerstone
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase has finished as the WR5 or better in three of his first five seasons, only falling short when he missed four games in 2022 and when the team was without three-time Pro Bowl quarterback Joe Burrow for half of the 2023 season. Even at his worst, Chase has finished no lower than WR13, making him one of fantasy's most bust-proof players, evidenced by a mid-season run in 2025 that saw him targeted 53 times in a three-game stretch that all but saved Joe Flacco's career and helped land the 18-year veteran his first career Pro Bowl selection. With Flacco back in the fold as the Bengals' backup for 2026, dynasty managers can feel good about Chase's floor while never having to question his league-willing ceiling. At only 26 years old, Chase is RotoBaller's top-ranked player in single-quarterback dynasty formats and one of fantasy's safest players to build around.

Javonte Williams a Mispriced Dynasty Trade Target
Dallas Cowboys running back Javonte Williams was the fantasy RB11 in 2025, with his 54 missed tackles forced ranking seventh in the league and reminding dynasty managers of the elite tackle-breaking ability he demonstrated throughout his collegiate career and as a second-round rookie in 2021. Now more than three seasons removed from the devastating knee injury that ended his sophomore campaign, Williams seems to have regained the balance and burst that had him ranked as highly as the RB2 in consensus dynasty rankings, and entering his second season in what looks to be another high-powered Dallas offense, he boasts legitimate league-winning potential. With the arduous injury recovery clouding so much of his fantasy profile over the past few seasons, Williams has become one of the more undervalued backs in dynasty, slotting in at RB21 in RotoBaller's latest rankings, but still only 26 years old and under contract through the 2028 season, he could realistically provide several more years of RB1 upside.

Terry McLaurin A Short-Term, High-Ceiling Dynasty Trade Target
Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin has played 26 games with quarterback Jayden Daniels over the past two seasons, and in those contests, he's averaged more than 12.2 half-PPR points per game. With injuries to both players limiting them to only nine games together in 2025, it's easy to overlook their chemistry from Daniels' 2024 rookie season, when they connected for 13 touchdown receptions. With both coming into 2026 with a clean bill of health, and new offensive coordinator David Blough not mincing words about his plans to run the offense through McLaurin, a reminder of that chemistry could be coming in short order. The Commanders added receiving depth through free agency with tight end Chig Okonkwo and running back Rachaad White, and spent a third-round pick on slot receiver Antonio Williams, but none of whom threaten to supplant McLaurin as the team's primary target-earner. Even at 30 years old, the eighth-year veteran could soon prove a bargain at his current ranking of RotoBaller's dynasty WR38.

Tee Higgins a High-Ceiling Dynasty Trade Target
Over the past three seasons, Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins has played in only 39 of a potential 51 games, and of those 39 contests, only 25 have come with quarterback Joe Burrow under center. In those games, Higgins has averaged 13.3 half-PPR points per game, a number that would have been good enough for a WR9 finish in 2025. Injuries have come to define the Bengals offense in recent years, but heading into 2026 with good health and no contract disputes, Cincinnati is once again a threat to lead the league in scoring. Because the full puzzle has so rarely been put together, it's possible that Higgins is still being slightly slept on in dynasty leagues. Only 27 years old, he is one of the premier WR2s in the league with the potential to win weeks should an injury to Ja'Marr Chase force him into a larger role, and at RotoBaller's dynasty WR26, he's a high-reward trade target whose perceived risk has driven down his cost in recent years.

Can Kaleb Johnson Regain Dynasty Value?
Pittsburgh Steelers running back Kaleb Johnson was a third-round pick in a 2025 NFL Draft billed for its running back talent, and while several players from his class were able to deliver promising rookie campaigns, Johnson's was one to forget. The most memorable moment of his first season was arguably a kickoff return blunder early in the year that gifted the Seahawks a touchdown and landed Johnson in Mike Tomlin's doghouse. With an entirely new coaching staff in Pittsburgh for 2026, Johnson will look to put a disappointing rookie season, in which he touched the ball fewer than 30 times on offense and averaged only 2.5 yards per carry, squarely behind him. However, the Steelers also replaced leading pass-catching back Kenneth Gainwell with the more well-rounded Rico Dowdle, forming a formidable pair of do-everything backs with fifth-year veteran Jaylen Warren and further obscuring Johnson's path to playing time. Still yet to turn 23 years old, Johnson remains a hold at least throughout training camp, but barring an injury ahead of him or an unexpected new home, RotoBaller's dynasty RB57 will need to be seriously looked at as a cut candidate only one year after coming off the board in the first round of many rookie drafts.

Evan Engram Continues to See His Dynasty Value Fade
Having never been a true red zone threat and relying ever more on volume to remain fantasy viable, Denver Broncos tight end Evan Engram has seen his dynasty value drop precipitously since turning 30. Working through some early-season injuries, but still managing to play in 16 games, Engram finished his first year in Denver with only one touchdown and the second-lowest yards per route run of his nine-year career, converting his still respectable 71 targets into only 461 receiving yards. With the Broncos trading for a wide receiver in Jaylen Waddle, who has been most successful in catch-and-run situations, and spending two of their seven 2026 draft picks on the tight end position, expectations are low for Engram heading into his 10th season. Set to turn 32 before the start of the year, he is RotoBaller's dynasty TE39 and looks to be little more than end-of-the-roster depth at this point in his career.

How High is TreVeyon Henderson's Dynasty Ceiling?
As a rookie in 2025, New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson was the only back on the roster to play in all 17 games, but he saw the field on fewer than 46% of the team's offensive snaps. Despite the limited opportunities, he still led the team with 1,132 yards from scrimmage and 10 touchdowns, and heading into year two, he has told reporters his goals are to improve as a pass protector and receiver, which should lead to more total work and an elevated fantasy floor to go with his already electric upside. Finishing third in the Offensive Rookie of the Year voting, Henderson is starting from a higher place than most, but historically, young running backs have seen monumental growth in their second season in a Josh McDaniels offense. If the 23-year-old second-round pick can follow suit with even a modest step forward, Henderson has true RB1 potential and could return immense value from his current ranking of RotoBaller's dynasty RB15.

Mike Evans Brings a "New Dimension" to 49ers Offense
Playing for his first new team since the Buccaneers selected him in the first round of the 2014 NFL Draft, San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Mike Evans has been impressing his new teammates, with All-Pro tight end George Kittle recently telling reporters he brings a "new dimension" to the offense, particularly in the red zone. Evans has been complimentary of both his new system and quarterback, praising head coach and playcaller Kyle Shanahan for putting him in good opportunities against one-on-one coverage and noting that fifth-year professional Brock Purdy was one of the big reasons he came to San Francisco. The 49ers have deployed 21-personnel at the league's highest rate in each of the past two seasons, and with defenses needing to account for a fullback with an extra body near the box, Evans could see one of the highest rates of man coverage in his career, and if he can translate that into double-digit touchdown receptions, a mark he's cleared in four of the last six seasons, he'll prove to be a steal at RotoBaller's WR26.

Calvin Ridley Takes Part in OTAs on Monday
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley (leg) was participating at OTAs on Monday, according to Jim Wyatt of the team's official website. Ridley was seen running routes and catching passes after he suffered a season-ending broken fibula in Week 11 of last year. The 31-year-old is on track to be ready for training camp this summer and for the start of the 2026 regular season in early September, but his fantasy stock has plummeted after he caught just 17 passes for 303 yards and no touchdowns on 36 targets in seven games last year in his second season with the Titans. Ridley will still have a role in the Titans' offense if he's healthy, but the offseason additions of Wan'Dale Robinson in free agency and rookie Carnell Tate with the fourth overall pick in April's NFL draft will ensure that Ridley will likely struggle to generate volume in Tennessee's passing attack. The former first-rounder in 2018 out of the University of Alabama has fallen all the way to No. 61 in RotoBaller's 2026 WR rankings after his injury-plagued 2025 season.
