Fantasy Football Draft Outlooks
Below are some fantasy football outlooks written by our NFL team here at RotoBaller, bringing you their fantasy football analysis and advice on which players to consider drafting in 2026:
Jakobi Meyers, Jacksonville Jaguars
The Jacksonville Jaguars acquired wide receiver Jakobi Meyers from the Las Vegas Raiders at last season's trade deadline and saw immediate returns. Meyers made his team debut in a Week 10 loss to the Houston Texans before Jacksonville closed the 2025 regular season on an eight-game winning streak. Quarterback Trevor Lawrence also enjoyed arguably the best stretch of his career after Meyers arrived, producing as the fantasy QB1 from Week 10 on with 2,100 passing yards and 25 total touchdowns.
During that same span, Meyers posted WR18 fantasy numbers by hauling in 42 receptions for 483 yards and three scores. Still, it's fair to question Meyers' role entering 2026 as a member of one of the NFL's most intriguing receiver corps. Parker Washington broke out late last season and carried that momentum into Jacksonville's playoff appearance, while Brian Thomas Jr. endured a disappointing follow-up to his elite rookie campaign. Then there's Travis Hunter (knee), who is expected to be healthy but is slated to operate primarily on defense. Despite the uncertainty surrounding Jacksonville's pass catchers, Meyers has one clear advantage: financial investment.
The Jaguars signed the 29-year-old to a three-year, $60 million extension that includes $40 million guaranteed, making him one of the league's 25 highest-paid receivers. With a full offseason to become more comfortable in Liam Coen's system, Meyers could surprise fantasy managers who draft him as a WR3 or flex option this year.
Wan'Dale Robinson, Tennessee Titans
Although he totaled just 10 touchdowns during his four seasons in New York, wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson established himself as a reliable short-yardage option out of the slot. He turned in a career-best campaign last season after stepping into an expanded role with Malik Nabers (knee) sidelined, and the Tennessee Titans rewarded him this offseason with a four-year, $70 million contract.
For a brief period, Robinson seemed entrenched as the Titans' WR1, but Tennessee used the fourth overall pick of the 2026 NFL Draft on Ohio State receiver Carnell Tate. While Tate's arrival could prevent Robinson from replicating his 2025 production, it should certainly aid in the development of second-year quarterback Cam Ward. Last year's first overall pick began finding his rhythm in the back half of the season, throwing for more than 1,300 yards and 10 touchdowns against just one interception across his final seven full contests.
If Ward and the Titans take a step forward in 2026, Robinson could be a valuable fantasy asset in PPR formats, especially given his familiarity with new OC Brian Daboll's system.
Xavier Worthy, Kansas City Chiefs
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy is looking to rebound after requiring offseason shoulder surgery to fully repair the torn labrum suffered in Week 1's collision with Travis Kelce. He wound up only missing two weeks, logging 42 total catches for 532 yards and one touchdown over 14 games. It's no surprise that his diminished effectiveness led to a lower deep-ball catch rate, and Worthy also failed to score on any of his three end-zone targets.
One cannot forget that alongside Worthy's 59-638-6 rookie receiving line was another three rushing TDs on 20 carries (104 yards). While he still gained 87 yards on 11 rushes in '25, the TD variance was not in his favor. The Chiefs also struggled as a team, losing key players like Patrick Mahomes II, Rashee Rice, and Isiah Pacheco for stretches. And though Worthy was still rocking a no-contact jersey during OTAs as a precaution, all reports have been optimistic about his readiness for Week 1.
With the offense seemingly approaching 100%, we can hope that Year 3 Worthy gets robust downfield usage to show off that health, speed, and separation. His June half-PPR ADP around pick 117 lags roughly 15 spots behind our RotoBaller rank, which makes him a solid dart throw for most flex slots.
Brian Thomas Jr., Jacksonville Jaguars
After a stellar rookie campaign, the Jacksonville Jaguars believed they had one of the NFL's best pass-catching prospects in wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. entering 2025. Still, a disappointing sophomore year leaves the wideout seeking a defined spot in head coach Liam Coen's offense. He drew just 91 total targets (16.7% of the team's looks) last season, inviting the Jaguars to acquire Jakobi Meyers from the Las Vegas Raiders (110 total targets, 61 with the Jaguars) midseason in addition to Parker Washington (96) and Travis Hunter (45) already being on the roster.
Thomas Jr.'s effectiveness running crossing patterns in Coen's system led to offseason trade rumors, but the Jaguars hung onto him and, instead, reportedly plan to deploy Hunter as a full-time cornerback. The 23-year-old's separation skills, size, and speed were on display in a 1,282-yard rookie season. Still, he was also force-fed double-digit targets in the last six games of that campaign, when the Jaguars were tanking, and his incredible December was with quarterback Mac Jones, not Trevor Lawrence.
Per nfelo, Jacksonville was sixth in pass rate over expectation (+1.6%) last season and also lost running back Travis Etienne in free agency, so while this offense is appealing for pass-catchers, Meyers and Washington's emergence limits upside across the board when Hunter and tight end Brenton Strange will likely also demand a share of designed looks.
Thomas Jr.'s talent is a tempting click in the sixth or seventh round (ranked 80th overall at RotoBaller, Sleeper ADP of 80) of early fantasy drafts, but his track record within this same ecosystem implies he might end up being a frustrating boom-or-bust weekly option that is heavily dependent on big plays.
TreVeyon Henderson, New England Patriots
In his rookie season, New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson's role in New England's offense was limited to start the year. Henderson averaged just 6.1 rushing attempts in the team's first seven games of the season. The usage to start the year was puzzling, as Henderson was arguably the team's most explosive playmaker. New England finally let Henderson loose in Week 8, and the Ohio State product rushed for 758 yards on 137 attempts while catching 19 passes for 122 yards over the team's final 10 games.
Overall, Henderson took advantage of an easy schedule, averaging 5.1 yards per carry, racking up 10 scores on 215 touches, including four from 50-plus yards. It was an even split with Rhamondre Stevenson, but the team leaned more on Rhambo in the playoffs, as he had 17.8 touches compared to Henderson's 8.8. Henderson will look to carve out a role in a high-octane Patriots offense as the team added wide receivers A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs this offseason.
The 23-year-old has an injury history at Ohio State and expect the Pats to utilize Henderson as they did last year to keep him healthy. Henderson has the potential to be a fantasy RB1 if Stevenson goes down or is benched, but expect the second-year back to see spike weeks with the backfield split. Henderson is currently RB22 in the latest RotoBaller rankings with a Sleeper ADP of 48, making him a solid pick in the middle rounds.
However, with a tougher schedule and some expected spike weeks, Henderson is a better pick in best ball formats.
