Marvin Mims Jr.'s Dynasty Value Hurt by Lack of a Defined Role
Denver Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. was the first draft pick of the Sean Payton era, but now three years into his career, as he enters the final season of his rookie contract, he has yet to find a consistent role with the team. After a career-high 503 receiving yards and six touchdowns in 2024, his work in the passing game took a step back in 2025 as his primary involvement came as a returner on punts and kickoffs. With the Broncos sending a first and third-round pick to acquire Jaylen Waddle at the start of the new league year, there's no reason to believe Mims will suddenly take a step forward in 2026. While he has publicly expressed an openness to signing an extension with the Broncos, his best chance of finding sustained fantasy success could eventually come in another uniform. At RotoBaller's dynasty WR114, Mims is still worthy of a roster spot in deeper leagues, but outside of best ball formats, where his speed can help contribute to one-play spike weeks, he's unlikely to crack lineups with any consistency without a rash of injuries ahead of him.

Eagles Offense to Borrow From Kyle Shanahan, Sean McVay in 2026?
The Philadelphia Inquirer's Jeff McLane writes that new Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Sean Mannion is expected to implement some concepts that are prevalent in both Kyle Shanahan and Sean McVay's offenses with the San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams, respectively. The Eagles' offense was extremely disappointing in 2025, ranking 17th in the league in EPA per play. They are expected to trade Pro Bowl receiver A.J. Brown this offseason, and the Eagles could implement more short, quick-hit throws for running back Saquon Barkley, tight end Dallas Goedert, and rookie first-round receiver Makai Lemon. Hurts, 27, finished as the QB8 in fantasy in 2025 for the second straight year despite the Eagles' offense stalling often. The three-time Pro Bowler had 3,224 passing yards, a career-high 25 touchdowns, and six interceptions, but he had only 421 rushing yards and eight rushing TDs, his fewest since he had three in 2020 in his rookie campaign. The Tush Push has been a major staple that has helped Hurts maintain a strong QB1 floor. Target him as a midrange QB1 with more upside if Philly's offense can turn things around under Mannion.

Saints Haven't Offered a Contract to Taysom Hill
New Orleans Saints general manager Mickey Loomis said that the team has not offered a contract to free-agent tight end Taysom Hill, according to Saints beat writer Ross Jackson. The 35-year-old Hill has been a fan favorite in the Big Easy and has been with the organization for the last nine seasons, but it's looking unlikely that he'll be back with the club in 2026. In fact, due to injuries over the last two years, it's possible that the versatile offensive weapon could opt to retire from professional football. Hill played in only 13 games (five starts) for the Saints last year and had 52 carries for 114 yards and just one touchdown while adding 11 receptions on 16 targets for 91 yards and no touchdowns as a receiver. He played in just eight games in 2024. During his tenure with the Saints, Hill was used in a variety of roles, seeing snaps at quarterback, running back, wide receiver, and tight end. Because of his wild variance in utilization, he developed a reputation in fantasy as a highly volatile streaming option.

Kayshon Boutte Working Out Away From the Team
New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte has not been included with the rest of the wideouts during offseason workouts and has been working out away from the facilities, according to Mike Reiss of ESPN. The Patriots cut Stefon Diggs in the offseason, but they signed former Packers wideout Romeo Doubs in free agency and are expected to acquire Pro Bowl receiver A.J. Brown from the Philadelphia Eagles after June 1, which will push the 24-year-old Boutte further down the depth chart in New England. The former sixth-round pick in 2023 out of LSU caught a career-best six touchdown passes in 14 regular-season games (10 starts) in 2025 in his third year in the league, but it came with a disappointing 33 receptions (46 targets) for just 551 yards. He has been the subject of offseason trade rumors, and he could very well be on the move if the Pats land Brown, as expected. Boutte is in the final year of his rookie deal and would probably benefit from a change of scenery. He has fallen all the way to WR68 in RotoBaller's 2026 WR rankings.

Lamar Jackson Expected to Return to OTAs Soon
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson was absent for the team's first two voluntary OTA practices this week, but head coach Jesse Minter said that Jackson had a "couple of things going on" Monday and Tuesday that prevented him from practicing, according to Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic. "I do expect him to be back soon," Minter said. "We've had some great conversations; know when he's going to be back. I'll probably leave those (conversations) between me and Lamar." The 29-year-old two-time MVP and four-time Pro Bowler has been a regular participant during the team's offseason workout program after a disappointing, injury-riddled 2025 campaign. Despite uncharacteristically finishing as the QB20 in fantasy scoring last year, Jackson is ranked by RotoBaller as the No. 2 fantasy signal-caller going into his ninth year in the NFL with a new coaching staff. He is an elite dual-threat option at the position and seems primed for a bounce-back campaign as long as he can stay on the field.

Dalton Kincaid Taking Part in OTAs This Week
Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) was seen taking part in the team's OTA practice on Tuesday, according to Sal Capaccio. "I'd say it's probably the best I've felt in my career at this point in the year...I feel really good," Kincaid said after playing in a career-low 12 games in 2025 due to a PCL injury in his knee. The 26-year-old former first-rounder in 2023 out of Utah caught 39 of his 49 targets for 571 yards and a career-high five touchdowns last year despite playing in only 12 regular-season games (four starts). He will have more target competition in 2026 after the Bills acquired receiver DJ Moore in a trade from the Chicago Bears, but Kincaid will continue to be the team's No. 1 pass-catching TE over Dawson Knox, and he's displayed strong chemistry with QB Josh Allen. As long as he stays healthy, Kincaid is a clear TE1 in fantasy football in single-year formats, with RotoBaller ranking him as the No. 9 TE for the upcoming season.

Josh Allen "Good to Go" for Offseason Workouts
Buffalo Bills head coach Joe Brady said that quarterback Josh Allen (foot) is "good to go" following offseason foot surgery and is working through offseason workouts so far, according to Sal Capaccio. Allen played through a fractured fifth metatarsal in his right foot late in the 2025 regular season and into the playoffs before eventually having surgery, but he's all good now and shouldn't have any limitations in training camp or going into the start of the 2026 regular season in early September. The 29-year-old enters his ninth year in the league as the consensus No. 1 fantasy QB yet again after completing a career-high 69.3% of his pass attempts for 3,668 yards, 25 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions in 17 regular-season starts in 2025. But it was once again his rushing prowess that set him apart, as he had 112 carries for a league-high 579 yards and 14 scores on the ground. Allen was not very effective deep down the field through the air, but that could change in 2026 after the offseason addition of receiver DJ Moore in an offense still run by Brady.

Rashee Rice to Miss Two Months After Clean-Up Surgery on his Knee
A week before being ordered to serve 30 days in jail for violating his probation and testing positive for marijuana, Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice (knee) had a clean-up surgery on his right knee to remove loose debris that was causing inflammation, league sources told Adam Schefter of ESPN. Rice is expected to be sidelined for two months. It's been quite the eventful day for news about Rice, who was expected to be KC's WR1 again in 2026 as he enters the final year of his rookie deal. Even if Rice was healthy, he wouldn't be available for the team's OTA practices later this month and for mandatory minicamp in early June because he'll be in jail, and the Chiefs' patience could be wearing thin. Health-wise, Rice should be fully recovered for the start of training camp this summer, but he could be facing another suspension from the NFL for violating the league's personal-conduct policy. If Rice isn't available for the start of the 2026 campaign, both Xavier Worthy and Tyquan Thornton would be the team's top pass-catchers for an offense that could be without quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) early on. Rice is now on tenuous ground as far as a WR1 in fantasy in redraft leagues in 2026.

Is Tank Bigsby a Worthy Dynasty Stash Entering 2026?
After being acquired from the Jacksonville Jaguars in September, Philadelphia Eagles running back Tank Bigsby played a minimal role in his team's offense in 2025. With star Eagles back Saquon Barkley dominating touches, Bigsby finished the year with 58 carries for 344 yards and two touchdowns across 16 games with Philadelphia. As long as Barkley remains healthy in 2026, Bigsby is highly unlikely to provide fantasy-relevant production. Still, Bigsby has proven he can produce as a rusher at the NFL level when given the chance, averaging 4.9 yards per carry and scoring nine touchdowns over the last two seasons. With Barkley entering his age-29 season and coming off back-to-back campaigns with at least 350 touches, Bigsby profiles as a prime handcuff option for dynasty managers.

Hunter Henry Profiles as a Dynasty Sell-High Candidate Entering 2026
New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry had one of the best years of his career in 2025, recording 60 receptions for 768 yards and seven touchdowns on 87 targets across 17 games. Henry's seven scores led Patriots pass-catchers, and he finished second on the team in both catches and receiving yards behind only veteran wideout Stefon Diggs. Henry enters 2026 atop New England's tight end depth chart, and he has established a nice chemistry in the red zone with Patriots quarterback Drake Maye. However, New England used a third-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft on Notre Dame tight end Eli Raridon. With Henry entering his age-32 season and the final year of his current contract with the Patriots, his long-term future with the team could be in question. In dynasty formats, managers may want to explore sell-high opportunities on Henry before it's too late.

Can Matthew Golden Re-Establish His Dynasty Value in 2026?
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Matthew Golden struggled to live up to his first-round draft pedigree as a rookie in 2025, recording just 29 receptions for 361 yards on 44 targets across 14 games. The 22-year-old has yet to score his first NFL touchdown, and he played more than half of the Packers' offensive snaps in just one game after Week 8 last season. However, Green Bay lost a pair of wide receivers over the offseason, trading Dontayvion Wicks to the Philadelphia Eagles and letting Romeo Doubs walk in free agency. While Christian Watson and Jayden Reed are still currently ahead of Golden on the team's wide receiver depth chart, Golden should have a clearer path to a consistent role in 2026. Green Bay has traditionally operated an egalitarian passing game under head coach Matt LaFleur, so dynasty managers should be cautious in projecting Golden's target upside. Still, Golden has clear buy-low appeal entering his second NFL season.

Jalen Coker a Prime Buy-Low Dynasty Target
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Jalen Coker was one of the buzzier names in fantasy circles last summer, but he suffered a quad injury in late August that caused him to miss the first six weeks of the 2025 season. Coker posted modest numbers upon his return, recording 33 receptions for 394 yards and three touchdowns on 43 targets across 11 games. However, Coker played some of his best football down the stretch of the season, logging 244 of his receiving yards and all three of his touchdowns over his final five contests. The 24-year-old also posted a huge performance in the NFC Wild Card Round against the Los Angeles Rams, hauling in nine catches for 134 yards and a touchdown on 12 targets. 2025 first-rounder Tetairoa McMillan is locked in as the WR1 in Carolina, and the team added wide receiver Chris Brazzell II in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Still, Coker is well-positioned to earn the Panthers WR2 role and could be in for a breakout year.

Dak Prescott Remains a High-Floor Dynasty Quarterback
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott put together one of the most productive seasons of his career in 2025, completing 67.3% of his pass attempts for 4,552 yards, 30 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions. Prescott led the league in completions for the second time in the last three seasons, and his consistent passing volume provided him with a safe week-to-week production floor. Entering 2026, Prescott appears well-positioned to repeat his success. Dallas has arguably the best wide receiver tandem in the NFL in CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens, and tight end Jake Ferguson hauled in 82 receptions and eight touchdowns in 2025. Prescott is getting up there in age as he enters his age-33 season, but he should have at least a few more high-end seasons as long as he can stay healthy. Prescott may not offer dynasty managers the highest ceiling, but he profiles as a borderline dynasty QB1 heading into 2026.

Is CeeDee Lamb's Dynasty Value Poised to Rise in 2026?
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb ran into some health issues in 2025, missing three games due to an ankle injury. However, the 27-year-old remained a highly productive pass-catcher when healthy, hauling in 75 receptions for 1,077 yards and three touchdowns on 117 targets across 14 games. The presence of fellow high-end wideout George Pickens in Dallas may prevent Lamb from accruing enough targets to match the 1,700-yard, 12-touchdown peak season he posted in 2023. At the same time, Pickens' ability to win down the field keeps defenses honest and should allow Lamb plenty of space to operate. Additionally, Pickens is currently signed to the franchise tag and remains without a long-term extension, putting his future in Dallas in question. Lamb is widely valued as a dynasty WR1, which makes it difficult to classify him as a buy-low candidate. Still, managers may want to consider targeting Lamb at a relative low point in his value, given his potential to re-emerge as one of the truly elite wide receivers in fantasy football.

Joe Brady Likes What he's Seen From Keon Coleman
Buffalo Bills new head coach Joe Brady said that he loves what he's seen from wide receiver Keon Coleman this offseason and his approach, according to Sal Capaccio. "I made sure when I got the job he knew he was going to be here and be a part of our offense," Brady said. General manager Brandon Beane also said in April that the Bills want to "hit the reset button" on Coleman, who has been a big disappointment, both on and off the field, since the team selected him with the 33rd overall pick in the second round of the 2024 NFL draft out of Florida State. The 23-year-old has struggled with drops and maturity issues in his two seasons in the league, catching 67 of 116 targets for 960 yards and eight touchdowns in 26 regular-season games (18 starts). Coleman was benched for several games last year after showing up late to a team meeting. The Bills aren't giving up on him yet, but fantasy managers in single-year leagues will be leaving him to the waiver wire to begin the 2026 season. RotoBaller has Coleman currently ranked outside the top-100 wideouts after Buffalo traded for DJ Moore in the offseason and drafted Skyler Bell in the fourth round.
