Is Jakobi Meyers the Most Mispriced Jaguars Receiver in Dynasty Leagues?
Following a 2025 mid-season trade that brought him to Jacksonville, veteran wide receiver Jakobi Meyers was a key piece in unlocking quarterback Trevor Lawrence and the Jaguars' offense as a whole. After playing on only 27 total snaps in his first game with the team, Meyers averaged seven targets and 4.9 receptions from Week 11 onward, finishing as the fantasy WR17 across that stretch. With a full offseason in Liam Coen's offense, Meyers is expected to take another step forward, but the crowded receiver room in Jacksonville could ultimately limit his ceiling. Even with Travis Hunter reported to see limited offensive reps in year two, Meyers still shares a room with 2024 first-round pick Brian Thomas Jr. and Parker Washington, who finished as the WR11 over the final 10 weeks of the year. Heading into his eighth season, the 29-year-old Meyers is RotoBaller's dynasty WR40, which could be viewed as a slight mispricing with the 24-year-old Washington slotting in several spots below him at WR49 and Thomas only up at WR27, just two seasons removed from his WR4 finish as a rookie. For contending dynasty managers, Meyers is a solid hold who can provide reliable weekly fantasy floors, but for those seeking more upside, Thomas and Washington may represent the more attractive swings at their currently depressed values.

How Much Growth Can be Expected of Jayden Higgins in Year 2?
Houston Texans wide receiver Jayden Higgins showed flashes as a second-round rookie in 2025, but his path to a Year 2 leap could come with struggles along the way. The biggest obstacle could be the quarterback play of C.J. Stroud, who has regressed each year since his historic rookie campaign in 2023. The Texans have invested heavily in the offensive line, which should have a ripple effect on Stroud and the offense as a whole, but Higgins will still need to carve out a meaningful role to find dynasty staying power. Higgins scored two touchdowns in the three games missed by two-time Pro Bowler Nico Collins, and with the two both profiling as prototypical X-receivers, Higgins may not always find the field in two-receiver sets. With fellow second-year Cyclone Jaylin Noel expected to inherit Christian Kirk's role out of the slot, Higgins could find himself in a rotation with Tank Dell, who is on track to return from the 2024 knee injury that cost him the entire 2025 season. Higgins has the traits to become a consistent fantasy producer, but dynasty managers may be underwhelmed by the opportunities he sees in his second season, and at RotoBaller's WR44, he merely remains a hold until he proves he can overcome the situation.

D'Andre Swift an Underrated Dynasty Buy for Contending Managers
Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift has finished as the RB23 or better in each of his six seasons in the league, most recently turning in a career-best RB15 finish in 2025. Entering his second season in Ben Johnson's Bears offense, RotoBaller's dynasty RB26 represents an affordable RB2 who may not always look pretty, but consistently returns value. Johnson has modeled his offense in Chicago after the one he ran so successfully in Detroit. With Swift handling the role he first held with the Lions before it was perfected by Jahmyr Gibbs, he should continue to offer a reliable floor even with 2025 seventh-rounder Kyle Monangai proving capable of handling the David Montgomery role as a rookie. Quarterback Caleb Williams and the Bears offense as a whole are expected to take another step forward in year two under Johnson, which could lead to more scoring opportunities for both backs. At 27 years old, Swift should still have plenty of good football ahead of him, making him a smart dynasty buy who could realistically help to extend the window for contending managers.

A Role Change Could Be Key to Salvaging Woody Marks' Dynasty Value
The long-term dynasty success of Houston Texans running back Woody Marks will likely come down to his role in the passing game. As a rookie in 2025, Marks caught only 24 passes despite coming into the league as one of the most prolific receiving backs in college football history. With eight-year veteran Nick Chubb offering little in the running game, Marks was forced into a lead-back role for much of the season, but the fourth-round pick was not overly efficient on the ground, averaging only 3.6 yards per carry. With the Texans sending fourth and seventh-round picks to acquire David Montgomery, the former Lion and Bear is expected to handle the bulk of early-down, between-the-tackles work for Houston. The Texans have a recent history of turning the backfield over to a fourth-round rookie, with Dameon Pierce picking up 939 yards on 220 carries in 2022, only to drop off the fantasy map in later seasons. For Marks to have any dynasty staying power, he will need to lean on his obvious pass-catching abilities to carve out a meaningful change-of-pace role.

Ray Davis Offers Almost No Standalone Value as a Fading Dynasty Asset
Buffalo Bills running back Ray Davis was viewed as one of the more valuable handcuffs in the league coming into his second season, but with James Cook handling the largest workload of his career en route to the 2025 rushing title, Davis offered almost nothing to fantasy managers. And when Cook did leave the field, it was more regularly the superior pass-catching Ty Johnson who took his place, limiting Davis to only 275 yards on 58 carries despite suiting up for all 17 games. The Bills brought in no additional running backs through either free agency or the NFL Draft, which could be viewed as a small victory for Davis, but is more likely an indicator that the situation could play out similarly in 2026. With Davis coming into the league as an older prospect, the 2024 fourth-round pick will already turn 27 during his third season, and if he has not already hit waiver wires in dynasty leagues, he is a suitable drop candidate to make room for the incoming crop of rookies.

Stefon Diggs Found Not Guilty of Assault, Strangulation
Veteran free-agent wide receiver Stefon Diggs was found not guilty on Tuesday of assaulting his private chef in a pay dispute, according to ESPN. Diggs pleaded not guilty in February to a felony strangulation charge and a misdemeanor assault and battery charge that stemmed from the alleged dispute. The four-time Pro Bowler is now cleared for a return to the field, but he could still face discipline from the NFL as part of the league's personal-conduct policy. Jamila Adams, a former live-in personal chef, testified that Diggs slapped and choked her during an argument. "The evidence has shown what we've maintained from day one: Mr. Diggs was wrongly accused, and this case represents exactly the kind of opportunistic targeting that players can face the moment they step off the field," Diggs' attorneys said in a statement. Despite his off-the-field issues, Diggs is the top available player on the open market this late into the offseason after recording the seventh 1,000-yard season of his career in 2025 with the New England Patriots. He was released in March after signing a three-year, $69 million deal with the Pats last year. Diggs' 2026 fantasy value will depend entirely on where he lands.

Travis Kelce's Dynasty Value Fading Entering 2026
Despite some speculation that he might retire at the end of the 2025 season, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce remains atop his team's depth chart heading into 2026. The 36-year-old is no longer the player he once was at his peak, but he still turned in a productive season with 76 catches for 851 yards and five touchdowns on 108 targets across 17 games in 2025. Kelce's fantasy value is closely tied to the health of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee), who is currently making his way back from knee surgery. Mahomes is expected to participate in OTAs, which could mean he's on track to be fully healthy by Week 1 of 2026. As long as he has his quarterback, Kelce looks like a good bet to put together another top-12 tight end season in PPR-scoring fantasy leagues. His uncertain future beyond 2026 limits his dynasty upside, but Kelce remains an appealing win-now option at the tight end position.

DJ Moore a Prime Bounce-Back Candidate Following Offseason Trade
The Buffalo Bills made a big splash at the wide receiver position early in the offseason, acquiring veteran pass-catcher DJ Moore from the Chicago Bears. Moore is coming off a relative down year in Chicago, as he hauled in 50 receptions for 682 yards and six touchdowns on 85 targets across 17 games. 2025 was Moore's first season seeing fewer than 118 targets since his rookie year with the Carolina Panthers in 2018. However, the 29-year-old should see less target competition in Buffalo than he did in Chicago, where he was competing with wide receivers Rome Odunze and Luther Burden III, as well as tight end Colston Loveland. With the Bills, Moore profiles as the clear WR1 ahead of complementary wideouts Khalil Shakir and Joshua Palmer. It's possible that age-related decline was the reason for Moore's down year in Chicago, so he carries some risk for dynasty managers. Still, Moore's dynasty stock is rising following his offseason change of scenery.

Derrick Henry's Dynasty Value Holding Steady Following NFL Draft
Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry turned in yet another excellent fantasy season in 2025, recording 1,595 rushing yards and 16 touchdowns on 307 carries across 17 games. The seemingly ageless 32-year-old has now played in all 17 contests in three consecutive years and has logged at least 12 rushing touchdowns in seven out of his last eight seasons. Henry should dominate carries in Baltimore once again in 2026, and could have the benefit of playing next to a fully healthy Lamar Jackson all year after Jackson missed four games due to injury in 2025. Henry's PPR value is limited by his complete lack of receiving work, as he's recorded fewer than 20 receptions and 200 receiving yards in both of his seasons with the Ravens. He's also bound to face some age-related regression at some point, given that he could approach 3,000 career NFL carries in 2026. Still, Henry is in a great position to rack up rushing yards and touchdowns in Baltimore. For win-now dynasty managers, Henry remains a high-level running back option.

Can Ladd McConkey Re-Establish His Dynasty Value in 2026?
After topping 80 catches and 1,100 receiving yards as a rookie in 2024, Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey turned in an underwhelming sophomore campaign in 2025. Across 16 games, the 24-year-old hauled in 66 receptions for 789 yards and six touchdowns on 106 targets. The Chargers will have a new play-caller in 2026 in former Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel, who could help McConkey rediscover his rookie-year magic. Former Chargers wideout Keenan Allen also remains unsigned, and his absence would likely allow McConkey to spend more time in the slot in 2026. Los Angeles does have other capable pass-catchers in wide receiver Quentin Johnston and tight end Oronde Gadsden, as well as 2025 second-round wideout Tre' Harris and 2026 fourth-round wideout Brenen Thompson. Still, McConkey has the highest upside of the bunch and should be the lead target-earner in McDaniel's revamped offense. In dynasty formats, McConkey could be a solid buy-low target entering 2026.

Is Ryan Flournoy a Dynasty Stash Candidate Due to Long-Term Upside in Dallas?
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Ryan Flournoy emerged as a steady complementary contributor in his second NFL season in 2025, finishing the year with 40 receptions for 475 yards and four touchdowns on 56 targets across 16 games. The 26-year-old took advantage of an early-season injury to star Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb, recording 11 catches for 158 yards across the three games Lamb missed. With Lamb and George Pickens atop the wide receiver depth chart in Dallas, Flournoy looks to be stuck as his team's WR3 entering 2026. As long as both Lamb and Pickens are healthy, Flournoy's fantasy production ceiling is limited. However, Pickens is currently signed to the franchise tag and remains without a long-term extension in place in Dallas, putting his future with the team in question. Should the Cowboys decide to move on from Pickens either during or after the 2026 season, Flournoy would be in line for a significant role increase. In dynasty formats, Flournoy might be worth stashing for his long-term upside.

Dante Fowler Jr. Signing with Seahawks
Veteran edge rusher Dante Fowler Jr. is signing a one-year deal worth up to $5 million with the Seattle Seahawks, per Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network. Fowler Jr. spent the 2025 season with the Dallas Cowboys, recording 10 QB hits, four TFLs, and three sacks across 17 games (11 starts). The 31-year-old has recorded 58.5 sacks across 159 career NFL games since entering the league in 2016. With Seattle, Fowler Jr. will likely play a rotational role as a pass rush specialist behind starting Seahawks defensive ends DeMarcus Lawrence and Leonard Williams. While his numbers were down a bit across the board in 2025, Fowler Jr. is not too far removed from his 14 TFL, 10.5-sack 2024 campaign with the Washington Commanders in 2024.

Packers Expect Micah Parsons to be Ready "Early in the Season"
Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst said on Sirius XM NFL Radio that All-Pro pass-rusher Micah Parsons (knee) is expected to return "early in the season." Gutekunst also said that Parsons is "a little bit of a freak" and that he's "doing really well." Obviously, Parsons is a big part of the Packers' plan going forward on defense after they sent two first-round picks and defensive tackle Kenny Clark to the Dallas Cowboys for Parsons before the start of last season. The 26-year-old five-time Pro Bowler and three-time first-team All-Pro selection was on pace to set a new career high in sacks in 2025 in his first year with Green Bay before tearing his left ACL late in December against the Denver Broncos. Parsons still managed to finish with 41 tackles (19 solo), 12.5 sacks, 12 tackles for loss, 27 QB hits, and two forced fumbles in 14 games played. Because Parsons' injury occurred so late last season, fantasy managers in IDP formats should expect him to miss the start of the 2026 campaign. Still, the former 12th overall pick will be rostered in all IDP formats as a high-upside sack artist at defensive line.

Tucker Kraft Expected Back "Early in the Season"
Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst said on Sirius XM NFL Radio that tight end Tucker Kraft's (knee) rehab from a torn right ACL is "going great," and he's expected to return "early in the season." Kraft was on his way to a career breakout in 2025 before tearing his ACL, catching 32 of his 44 targets for 489 yards and six touchdowns in eight starts. Gutekunst said in mid-January that the 25-year-old was ahead of schedule in his recovery, so barring a setback during training camp this summer, it's safe to assume that he'll be ready for Week 1 of the 2026 regular season. Kraft is entering the final year of his rookie deal, but the Packers have already engaged him in talks on a potential long-term extension. Despite tearing his ACL in 2025, Kraft is expected to be a big part of Green Bay's offense again this year, making him an easy top-10 fantasy TE. Right now, RotoBaller has Kraft as the No. 6 overall player at his position.

Brian Daboll Says it's "Good to Have" Calvin Ridley on Roster
When asked about Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley's (leg) place in the offense after the additions of Wan'Dale Robinson and rookie Carnell Tate, new offensive coordinator Brian Daboll said, "It's good to have him here," according to Nick Suss of The Tennessean. "We've changed some stuff as we've gone, but he's smart. He's a good player. He's a good teammate. I've got a lot of appreciation and love for Rid," Daboll added. Ridley played in only seven games in 2025 due to a fractured fibula, but before his injury, he struggled with drops and finished with 17 catches for 303 yards and zero touchdowns. The 31-year-old veteran just never seemed to be on the same page with rookie quarterback Cameron Ward before his season-ending injury. Ridley has a history with Daboll, but the additions of Robinson and Tate are bad news for Ridley's fantasy value in both redraft and dynasty formats. Second-year wideouts Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike will also be looking for bigger roles in Tennessee's passing attack.
