Parker Washington Set to Play "Most Important Role" of His Career in Jaguars Offense
According to John Shipley of Sports Illustrated, Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington has continued to impress during the team's OTAs and is set to play the "most important role" of his young career during the upcoming season. According to Shipley, Washington has made a strong case to be named the team's OTAs MVP as he continues to find success in this offense. Washington emerged as a legit league-winner in fantasy during the back half of the 2025 season when he became the top option for Trevor Lawrence. Over his last nine games, Washington caught 41 of his 61 targets for 640 yards and four touchdowns. He carried this momentum into the postseason when he brought in seven passes for 101 yards and a touchdown in their Wild Card loss. While he will share targets with Jakobi Meyers and Brian Thomas Jr., it appears the 24-year-old is set to play a lead role in this passing offense, which will put him in a prime position for a breakout campaign.

Wan'Dale Robinson's Dynasty Value May Have Peaked in 2025
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson put together the best season of his career in 2025, recording 92 catches for 1,014 yards and four touchdowns on 140 targets across 16 games as a member of the New York Giants. The Titans rewarded Robinson in free agency, handing him a four-year, $70 million contract. In Tennessee, Robinson will reunite with former Giants play-caller Brian Daboll and should play a prominent role in his team's passing game out of the slot. However, Robinson's place in the target pecking order in Tennessee was knocked down a peg after the Titans used the number four overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft on Ohio State wide receiver Carnell Tate. The overall offensive environment in Tennessee also remains questionable, as 2025 number one overall pick Cameron Ward flashed upside in his rookie season but largely struggled in his first year as the Titans quarterback. In dynasty formats, managers may want to explore selling Robinson at a high point in his value, entering a season full of unknowns in Tennessee.

Should Dynasty Managers Consider Selling High on Tyler Shough?
A second-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, New Orleans Saints quarterback Tyler Shough took over as his team's QB1 in Week 9 of his rookie season. After some early struggles, Shough finished strong and closed the year with 2,384 yards, 10 touchdowns, and six interceptions across 11 games (nine starts). He also surprised many with his contributions on the ground, rushing for 186 yards and three scores on 45 attempts. There's reason for optimism heading into Shough's second year, particularly after the Saints boosted his supporting cast over the offseason by drafting wide receiver Jordyn Tyson (hamstrings) in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft and signing running back Travis Etienne Jr. in free agency. At the same time, Shough is already entering his age-27 season after spending seven years in college. While his rookie season warrants praise, it wasn't dominant enough for him to definitely remain the clear quarterback of the future in New Orleans if he experiences some early struggles in 2026. If dynasty managers can get a massive return for Shough, they may want to consider selling him at what could be the highest point in his value.

Garrett Wilson's Dynasty Upside Remains High Despite Questionable Offensive Environment in New York
After playing in 51 consecutive games to open his career, New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson (knee) appeared in just seven games in 2025 due to a knee injury. As a result, the 25-year-old finished the year with 36 receptions for 359 yards and four touchdowns on 59 targets. Wilson has been a highly productive player since entering the NFL in 2022, recording three straight seasons with at least 80 catches and 1,000 receiving yards before 2025. He's been consistently held back by questionable quarterback play in New York, which has limited his fantasy upside. While Wilson may face familiar problems in 2026, the presence of veteran quarterback Geno Smith in New York should at least bring some stability to a Jets passing game that was led by a combination of Justin Fields, Tyrod Taylor, and Brady Cook last season. Wilson also remains the obvious number one target in New York even after the team used first-round picks in the 2026 NFL Draft on wideout Omar Cooper Jr. and tight end Kenyon Sadiq. In dynasty formats, Wilson's injury may have created a buy-low window for managers to capitalize on leading into 2026.

Kenneth Gainwell Carries Dynasty Sell-High Appeal After Breakout 2025 Campaign
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Kenneth Gainwell is coming off a breakout season in 2025, as he recorded 1,023 scrimmage yards and eight touchdowns on 187 touches across 17 games as a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Tampa Bay rewarded Gainwell for his efforts, signing him to a two-year contract in free agency to form a backfield tandem with Bucky Irving (shoulder). Much of Gainwell's production in Pittsburgh came as a receiver out of the backfield, as he hauled in 73 receptions for 486 yards and three touchdowns on 85 targets. While Gainwell should still be involved in the passing game with the Buccaneers, he'll no longer have the benefit of playing with Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Rodgers targeted running backs at an extremely high rate in 2025, allowing Gainwell to rack up PPR fantasy points with consistency. Additionally, a bounce-back season from Irving could lead to a reduced role for Gainwell. Irving battled through injuries and inconsistency in 2025, but he flashed high-end upside as a rookie in 2024, averaging 5.4 yards per carry and collecting over 1,500 yards from scrimmage. In dynasty formats, managers may want to explore selling high on Gainwell after his career year.

Emeka Egbuka Undervalued in Dynasty Formats After Underwhelming Close to 2025?
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Emeka Egbuka burst onto the scene as a rookie in 2025, recording 63 receptions for 938 yards and six touchdowns on 127 targets across 17 games. The 23-year-old's production slowed down a bit in the second half of the season, as he failed to record a touchdown reception after Week 9 and topped 60 receiving yards just once over his final eight games played. However, Egbuka profiles as the number one target in the Bucs' passing game entering 2026 following the offseason departure of star wideout Mike Evans in free agency. He will also get a chance to play more on the inside, which should allow him to improve on his subpar 49.6% catch rate. If Egbuka's slow finish to 2025 creates a dip in his value, dynasty managers should pounce on the opportunity to buy low on him heading into his second NFL season.

Trey Benson a Dynasty Hold Despite Unfavorable Situation
Arizona Cardinals running back Trey Benson remains largely unproven since the team spent a third-round pick on him in the 2024 NFL Draft, and with the investments made at the position in the 2026 offseason, that seems unlikely to change as he heads into his third professional season. The Cardinals spent $8 million in guaranteed money to land Tyler Allgeier in free agency before using the third overall pick on top prospect Jeremiyah Love. With James Conner also back in the fold after, like Benson, missing most of the 2025 season, Arizona features one of the most loaded running back rooms in the league. With the depth ahead of him muddying Benson's chances of even finding value as an insurance back, dynasty managers could be tempted to move on from the underperforming Day 2 pick, but at RotoBaller's dynasty RB59, he remains a hold as there's still a chance he could land in a more optimal situation if the Cardinals opt to move him or any of their other backs before the season starts.

Omar Cooper Jr. a Long-Term Investment in the First Round of Rookie Drafts
When the New York Jets traded back into the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft to select Indiana's Omar Cooper Jr. with the 30th overall pick, they landed a versatile wide receiver with some of the best tackle-breaking ability in the class. While Cooper no doubt has the talents to make an immediate impact on an NFL field, dynasty managers spending a later first-round rookie pick on him may need to exercise patience to see that impact consistently translate to fantasy success. While New York's offense is trending in the right direction, the operation will be run in 2026 by a soon-to-be-35-year-old Geno Smith, whose 34.1 QBR in 2025 ranked 31st out of all qualified starting quarterbacks. After missing 10 games with a knee sprain, Garrett Wilson and his career 9.1 targets per game are expected back and healthy, and with the Jets spending the 16th pick of the draft on tight end Kenyon Sadiq, Cooper faces direct competition for the short-area, middle-of-the-field looks that made him so valuable to Indiana's National Title-winning offense. Cooper has fantasy-friendly tools and could eventually be used as the Jets' version of a Deebo Samuel Sr. or Rashee Rice, but as RotoBaller's rookie WR5, he projects as more of a long-term investment than the players going ahead of him in rookie drafts.

Just How High is Colston Loveland's Dynasty Ceiling?
Chicago Bears tight end Colston Loveland was one of 2025's most exciting rookies, and expectations are sky-high heading into his second season. By the end of the year, Chicago had built their base offense around multi-tight end sets, from which Loveland became a fantasy dominator, topping 18.4 half-PPR points in the final two contests of the regular season and in the Bears' Wild Card win over the Packers. With Chicago trading away D.J. Moore and spending a third-round pick on Stanford tight end Sam Roush, there's a chance the Bears could lean even more into heavy personnel usage in 2026, which could genuinely make Loveland undervalued even at RotoBaller's dynasty TE3 and a top 50 overall player. With three tight ends on the field in 2025, Loveland averaged almost 4.7 yards per route run while racking up more than half of the team's receiving yards from such sets. While receivers Rome Odunze and Luther Burden III both offer a lot for dynasty managers to be excited about in an offense without Moore, Loveland could see the highest ceiling of the three and is potentially still a bargain despite being one of the most hyped players of the 2026 offseason.

A New-Look Offense in Baltimore Could Impact Zay Flowers' Dynasty Value
Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers reached WR7 in half-PPR fantasy formats by dominating Baltimore's wide receiver target share in 2025. His 118 targets accounted for 55.9% of all passes thrown to Ravens wideouts, with DeAndre Hopkins' 39 putting him at a distant second. Baltimore was the only team in the league to run more plays out of 12-personnel than 11, with Flowers the sole staple in those two-receiver sets. With a coaching overhaul ahead of the 2026 season and the team spending third and fourth-round picks on receivers Ja'Kobi Lane and Elijah Sarratt, Flowers could see a target share dip that would be hard to overcome with his consistently low touchdown numbers. While not responsible for playcalling under Ben Johnson, new offensive coordinator Declan Doyle held the same title in Chicago, where the Bears deployed three-receiver sets at the league's seventh-highest rate in 2025. Flowers still profiles as the unquestioned top receiver in Baltimore, and he could benefit from an overall higher passing volume, but enough factors are working against him to keep him at RotoBaller's dynasty WR26 despite coming off a career year.

LeQuint Allen Jr. a Dynasty Dart Throw with a Potential Path to Upside
Jacksonville Jaguars running back LeQuint Allen Jr.'s immediate strength as a pass blocker led to a higher snap count in 2025 than fellow rookie Bhayshul Tuten. While that opportunity translated to only 10 receptions on 11 targets, there is a reasonable expectation that Allen's involvement in the passing game could take the next step forward with the team's top receiving back from 2025, Travis Etienne Jr., departing in free agency. While Tuten has risen to RB23 in RotoBaller's dynasty rankings, Allen remains an afterthought down at RB90. The Jaguars did sign 12th-year veteran Ameer Abdullah to an under-the-radar one-year deal, but with his 16 receptions in 2025 representing the highest total from any running back currently on the roster, Jacksonville's pass-catching role is very much up for grabs. While any true fantasy relevance would be a major projection for the 2025 seventh-rounder, Allen's low cost to acquire makes him an intriguing trade target or dart-throw selection in the later rounds of dynasty startups.

Shedeur Sanders Falling Behind in Quarterback Competition?
Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders was eventually named a Pro Bowler after a rookie season in which he won three of seven starts, completed fewer than 57% of his passes, and threw three more interceptions than touchdowns. While it is an accolade he'll hold for the rest of his career, it carries no weight in his ongoing competition with 2017 first-round pick Deshaun Watson. While acknowledging that Sanders has had his moments in the spring, ESPN's Jeremy Fowler shared on Friday his belief that Watson has a "leg up" in the competition for the Browns' starting duties in 2026. Cleveland spent five of its first six picks in the 2026 NFL Draft on either offensive line or wide receiver, so whoever wins the job should find the situation more tenable than the one that churned through three different starters in 2025. While no official determination is likely until training camp, early reports haven't favored Sanders, and he's fallen to RotoBaller's dynasty QB34.

Is Isaiah Davis the More Valuable Jets Handcuff?
New York Jets running back Isaiah Davis has scarcely been used through his first two seasons in the league, but has shown enough efficiency on his limited opportunities to cling to a roster spot at the bottom of dynasty benches. With Breece Hall signing a three-year deal this offseason to stick with the Jets through the 2028 season, the backup role in New York will carry little standalone value for the foreseeable future, evidenced by Davis' 236-yard, single-touchdown stat line from 2025, despite fellow 2024 pick Braelon Allen going down with a Week 4 MCL sprain that ended his second season. With Hall handling a 72.8% running back rush share as one of 2025's true bell cow backs, the insurance value of his primary handcuff is clear. However, with enough ambiguity between Davis and Allen to cloud the picture of a backfield without Hall, there is reason for both players to be held. Allen fits the mold of the traditional between-the-tackles runner, while Davis has averaged 5.6 yards per carry through his first two seasons and has looked functional in the passing game. The reality is that neither player would likely see a full complement of work in Hall's absence, but for now, both belong rostered even with Davis down at RB80 in RotoBaller's latest dynasty rankings.

Trey McBride a Coveted Dynasty Cornerstone
Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride set the single-season tight end reception record with 126 catches in 2025, topping the previous high mark by 10 catches. Heading into 2026, he profiles right alongside the Raiders' Brock Bowers as one of two elite difference-makers at the position, and at only 26 years old, a case could be made that he's worthy of a late first-round pick even in non-tight end premium dynasty startups. While Arizona's offense projects to look different than the one that closed the 2025 season throwing the ball at a near-historic rate, his 29.6% target share and 1,146 yards from 2024 represent the type of floor that should allow him to thrive in nearly any offensive environment. With Bowers three years younger, he gets the edge in RotoBaller's latest rankings, but McBride is comfortably the dynasty TE2 and one of the most valuable assets in tight-end premium leagues.

Brock Purdy Still Not Valued as a Dynasty QB1
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy has been an undervalued dynasty asset since coming into the league as the final pick of the 2022 NFL Draft. Since taking over as a full-time starter, Purdy finished as the fantasy QB6 in 2023 and the QB14 in 2024, despite missing two games. While a significant turf toe injury limited him to only nine games in 2025, he was a fantasy difference maker in almost every one of those appearances. From Weeks 11 through 17, Purdy was the QB4, including back-to-back QB1 finishes and a 34.9-point average in the final two games of the fantasy playoffs. Christian McCaffrey, Mike Evans, and George Kittle will all be on the wrong side of 30 for the 2026 season, with Kittle already a question mark for the start of the year as he recovers from a postseason Achilles tear, but when healthy and on the field together, they should create one of the league's most fantasy-friendly groups of pass-catchers in Kyle Shanahan's high-powered offense. Purdy is 26 years old heading into his fifth season, and at RotoBaller's dynasty QB13, he is still undervalued as a perceived QB2 in superflex leagues with legitimate QB1 upside.
