Sean Tucker • RB • Buccaneers

Sean Tucker's Dynasty Upside Remains Limited by Crowded Backfield Picture in Tampa Bay

Across 17 games in 2025, Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Sean Tucker logged 354 scrimmage yards and eight touchdowns on 94 touches. Tucker has flashed upside over the first three seasons of his career with Tampa Bay, including a three-touchdown performance against the Buffalo Bills in Week 11 of 2025. However, Tucker has consistently found himself buried on the Buccaneers' running back depth chart and has never been able to carve out a consistent, every-week role in the team's offense. A similar dynamic seems likely to be at play in 2026, as Tampa Bay added veteran back Kenneth Gainwell in free agency to complement RB1 Bucky Irving. Tucker could have a chance to emerge should either Irving or Gainwell suffer an injury, which gives him some deep-league value. Still, Tucker's dynasty value would likely benefit from a change in scenery as he enters his age-25 season in 2026.

Puka Nacua • WR • Rams

Is Puka Nacua's Dynasty Value Impacted by Potential Off-Field Concerns?

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua put together a dominant season in 2025, recording 129 receptions for 1,715 yards and 10 touchdowns on 166 targets across 16 games. However, some off-field issues have emerged for the 24-year-old this offseason, as he's currently embroiled in a civil lawsuit and checked himself into a rehab facility in early April. There's zero question about Nacua's ability to produce on the field, as he's established himself as arguably the best wide receiver in the NFL over his first three professional seasons. Nacua's career average of 95.3 receiving yards per game is the best mark in the history of the NFL. To this point, he's also avoided any discipline from the NFL and is expected to be fully ready for the start of the 2026 season. Still, Nacua's off-field concerns bring some volatility to his dynasty profile. He remains an elite dynasty wideout overall, but managers in startup drafts may want to consider knocking him down a place or two in their rankings.

Alec Pierce • WR • Colts

Can Alec Pierce Build on Encouraging 2025 Production in 2026 and Beyond?

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce (ankle) is currently recovering from offseason ankle surgery. However, the 26-year-old is expected to be ready for the start of the 2026 season after signing a four-year, $114 million contract with Indianapolis earlier this spring. Pierce put together the most productive season of his career in 2025, hauling in 47 receptions for 1,003 yards and six touchdowns on 84 targets across 15 games. While Pierce's ability to win down the field remains the best aspect of his profile, he averaged a career-high 5.6 targets per game last season. He'll also be asked to step into a true WR1 role with the Colts in 2026 following the team's trade of former wideout Michael Pittman Jr. to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Assuming Pierce makes it through his current ankle issue without any hiccups, his dynasty stock is rising after his promising 2025 campaign.

Keenan Allen • WR

Keenan Allen's Dynasty Stock Falling with NFL Future in Limbo

Veteran wide receiver Keenan Allen put together a solid season in 2025, recording 81 receptions for 777 yards and three touchdowns on 122 targets across 17 games. The 34-year-old currently remains unsigned, but Chargers general manager Joe Hortiz has not ruled out the possibility of Allen returning to the Chargers for 2026. Allen did not sign with the Chargers last year until early August, so a similar situation could be in store for the upcoming year. While Allen proved that he can still be a productive possession wideout in 2025, he's no longer the same player he once was at his peak. The Chargers also offer plenty of target competition between wide receivers Ladd McConkey, Quentin Johnston, and Tre' Harris, and tight end Oronde Gadsden. As he enters his mid-30s, Allen's dynasty value is trending in the wrong direction even if he returns to Los Angeles for the 2026 season.

Drake London • WR • Falcons

Drake London Remains a Dynasty WR1 Entering 2026

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London suffered a PCL strain in his left knee in Week 11 of the 2025 season, which caused him to miss time down the stretch. Even still, the 24-year-old put together a productive season, hauling in 68 receptions for 919 yards and seven touchdowns on 112 targets across 12 games. When healthy, London has established himself as a true lead pass-catcher in the NFL. London has averaged 9.3 targets per game over the last two seasons and should dominate targets in Atlanta once again in 2026. The quarterback situation in Atlanta remains a limiting factor for London, as neither Michael Penix Jr. (knee) nor Tua Tagovailoa should inspire much confidence in fantasy managers. Still, London has proven to be a reliable fantasy wideout in Atlanta despite the organization's inability to land on a franchise quarterback since trading away Matt Ryan after London's rookie year. In dynasty formats, London profiles as a mid-tier WR1 heading into his age-25 campaign.

Bucky Irving • RB • Buccaneers

Bucky Irving Potentially Undervalued After Disappointing Sophomore Season

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving was unable to recapture the rookie season magic that made him fantasy's RB14 in 2024. Missing seven games in 2025 with foot and shoulder injuries, Irving was absent for much of Tampa's early-season success, returning to a unit that looked largely out of sorts to finish the year, resulting in the firing of first-year offensive coordinator Josh Grizzard. While Irving's touchdown totals were way down from 2024, his 86.5 yards from scrimmage per game still had him on a 17-game pace of 1,470 yards and almost seven scores. New offensive coordinator Zac Robinson arrived from Atlanta with a stated goal of involving Irving in the passing game, as he had Bijan Robinson, and while the free agent acquisition of Kenneth Gainwell is likely to take a solid chunk of receiving work off his plate, Irving is potentially being slept on as RotoBaller's dynasty RB16 and falling. With the Buccaneers' offensive line expected to be healthier in 2026, his per carry average could look closer to the 5.4 yards from his rookie campaign than the 3.4 yard clip of 2025, and with Gainwell only once handling more than 85 carries in his five-year career, Irving should see enough total volume to put him back into the dynasty RB1 conversation.

Davante Adams • WR • Rams

Davante Adams a Dynasty Hold Who Could See His Value Slip

In his first season with the Los Angeles Rams, wide receiver Davante Adams led the league with 14 touchdown receptions in 14 games on his way to a WR8 finish. While the Rams are again considered an early Super Bowl favorite, and the high-powered offense could put Adams in position for another double-digit touchdown campaign, at RotoBaller's dynasty WR39, he's best viewed as more of a hold than a buy. With 11 of those 14 scores coming from within the 10-yard line, some of his other metrics looked less impressive, even while playing with MVP Matthew Stafford. For the first time since 2018, Adams failed to top 1,000 yards, and his 54.1% reception rate was among the lowest in the league. At 33 years old, the back and hamstring issues that cost him three games are no less of a threat to return. While his elite skill set when space gets tight should not be discounted, Kyren Williams and Blake Corum combined for 15 attempts from within the five-yard line that did not result in scores. Should some of those opportunities dry up for Adams in 2026, he'll be hard-pressed to repeat his WR1 finish from a year ago.

Emeka Egbuka • WR • Buccaneers

The Pendulum Swinging Back on Emeka Egbuka's Dynasty Value

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Emeka Egbuka had one of the best starts to a career the league has ever seen. Through the first five weeks of his 2025 rookie campaign, Egbuka caught 25 passes for 445 yards and five touchdowns and saw his consensus dynasty value rise all the way to WR8, becoming one of the most sought-after players in the game. A second-half collapse saw the Buccaneers fall out of playoff contention, and no player took a bigger hit than Egbuka, seemingly unable to connect with quarterback Baker Mayfield down the stretch. Dynasty managers who bought high watched his value crumble, but with veteran receiver Mike Evans moving on to San Francisco and the team replacing first-year offensive coordinator Josh Grizzard with McVay disciple Zac Robinson, Egbuka has been widely viewed as an offseason winner, as reflected by his rising dynasty ranking, back up to RotoBaller's WR10. Still part of a crowded group of pass catchers, it's unlikely he will return to his early rookie season peak, but the 23-year-old Egbuka can still be a building-block piece for any dynasty roster, and the week-winning ceiling he's already displayed will help him hold value moving forward.

Michael Pittman Jr. • WR • Steelers

Michael Pittman Jr. Undervalued in an Environment Fit for His Skill Set

When veteran wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. was traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers in the opening days of the new league year, his dynasty value took a slight hit. With recent reporting that 42-year-old Aaron Rodgers is close to returning to the team, Pittman could now be viewed as an underrated dynasty trade target at RotoBaller's WR53. The Steelers lost running back Kenneth Gainwell in free agency, while tight end Jonnu Smith remains unsigned, leaving the team without two of its leading receivers from 2025 and vacating a total of 135 targets between them. Coming into Pittsburgh with an average depth of target below 8.5 yards in three of his last four seasons, Pittman should become an immediate favorite of Rodgers, as the latter's game has become largely defined by his unwillingness to hold onto the ball. His 2.56-second average time to throw in 2025 was longer only than Tua Tagovailoa among qualified starters, and with Pittman one of the most likely benefactors of those short developing routes, he could volume his way well past his current value in 2026, becoming a useful WR3/flex piece for contending managers.

Rhamondre Stevenson • RB • Patriots

Rhamondre Stevenson a Quality Dynasty Target in a Still-Improving Offense

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson finished 2025 with 948 yards from scrimmage and nine touchdowns, good enough for an RB25 finish despite missing three games. Heading into his sixth season, however, the 28-year-old former fourth-round pick has fallen to RB44 in RotoBaller's dynasty rankings, largely on the assumption that second-year back TreVeyon Henderson will take over a larger share of the Patriots' backfield. Even if true, New England projects to have one of the best rushing attacks in the NFL in 2026 after continuing to invest in the offensive line, as well as fullback and tight end. Should the team add current Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown on or after June 1st, pairing the three-time Pro Bowler with 2025 MVP runner-up Drake Maye, the offense as a whole could take a massive leap forward. With three years remaining on the extension he signed in 2024, Stevenson should continue to see enough involvement to outperform his current cost to acquire before even factoring in the insurance upside of splitting work with a back who has missed significant time to injuries dating back to his college days.

Odell Beckham Jr. • WR • Giants

Giants Not Looking to Sign Odell Beckham Jr. Right Now

New York Giants head coach John Harbaugh said the team remains in contact with free-agent wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. about a reunion, but that the Giants will "play it out over the next month and into training camp" before making a decision, according to Jordan Raanan of ESPN. The 33-year-old former 12th overall pick by the Giants in 2014 out of LSU worked out with the team last month and "looked good," according to Harbaugh. OBJ is interested in returning to the Big Apple, but Harbaugh said it has to make sense for both sides. The G-Men lost Wan'Dale Robinson in free agency this offseason, but they added Darnell Mooney and Calvin Austin III in free agency and drafted impressive rookie Malachi Fields. They also have Malik Nabers (knee) and Darius Slayton (abdomen), who are both recovering from injuries. Beckham sat out all of the 2025 season and had just nine catches for 55 yards with the Miami Dolphins in 2024. The veteran wideout broke his leg with the Giants and has suffered a torn ACL twice, making him a long shot to make a big impact in the NFL again with the Giants or any other team.

Bo Nix • QB • Broncos

Bo Nix Will be Full Speed Before Training Camp

Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton said that he thought quarterback Bo Nix (ankle) might be involved in the mid-June minicamp but would likely be limited, according to Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post. Payton also said that Nix would be full speed and throwing in July before training camp starts at the end of the month. Nix broke a bone in his right ankle in the Divisional Round playoff win over the Buffalo Bills, which kept him sidelined in the team's AFC Championship loss to the New England Patriots. The 26-year-old had surgery in January and was given a recovery timetable of 12 weeks. Unless Nix suffers a setback in his rehab or in training camp, he should be full-go for Week 1 of the 2026 regular season in his third year as Denver's starting QB. The former 12th overall pick out of Oregon led the league with 612 pass attempts in 2025 in a pass-happy Broncos offense, throwing for 3,931 yards, 25 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions in 17 regular-season starts to finish as the QB7 in fantasy. As long as his ankle doesn't limit his rushing prowess, Nix should be viewed as a rising dynasty commodity in Payton's offense for a Broncos team that added receiver Jaylen Waddle this offseason. RotoBaller has Nix ranked as the No. 11 dynasty QB going into the 2026 campaign.

Cooper Kupp • WR • Seahawks

Cooper Kupp a Dynasty Hold into the Start of 2026 Season

While playing in 16 games in his first season with Seattle, Seahawks wide receiver Cooper Kupp failed to crack 100 half-PPR fantasy points for the first time in his career. Dating back to his final two seasons in Los Angeles, he has now finished outside the top 40 at the position in three straight years, though 2025 marked the first time he fell so low without missing significant time. At nearly 33 years old, his once dominant fantasy days are clearly behind him, but at RotoBaller's dynasty WR118, he has now entered into the keep/drop conversation as managers struggle to find bench space for the incoming crop of rookies. Given the relative lack of receiver talent the Seahawks have behind Offensive Player of the Year Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Kupp should be held into the season wherever possible, a task made easier by the lackluster 2026 rookie class, but should an injury occur ahead of him on the depth chart, name recognition should still be enough to make him an immediate sell candidate.

Jaylen Warren • RB • Steelers

Jaylen Warren a Safe Dynasty Depth Piece with Insurance Upside

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren has finished as the RB25 or better in two of the past three seasons, and his well-rounded game has allowed him to thrive in whatever running back room he's a part of. While sharing the backfield with Najee Harris, Warren excelled in a pass-catching role, finishing with the fifth-most running back receptions in the league in 2023. With Kenneth Gainwell sopping up more than 80 targets in 2025, Warren churned out a career-high 958 yards on the ground en route to an RB16 finish. In free agent acquisition Rico Dowdle, the Steelers have added another back capable of working in both the run and pass game, but unlikely to dominate in either, at least not to the extent of Warren's previous teammates. Warren and Dowdle could see something close to a true 50/50 split in 2026, making the former well worth his current dynasty cost of RotoBaller's RB30, even if his ceiling is capped in a timeshare. However, should injuries force him into a larger role, Warren has proven upside, finishing as the RB15 or better in five of his nine 2025 games with at least a 50% snap share, and never below RB26.

Christian McCaffrey • RB • 49ers

Christian McCaffrey a Risky Dynasty Hold Who Still Exceeds His Trade Value

When on the field, San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey represents the biggest mismatch in fantasy football. Even in a down year by his own metrics, McCaffrey finished as the RB1 in 2025, his fifth top-three finish in as many healthy seasons. He touched the ball 44 more times than any other non-quarterback in the league, and while that sort of volume is exactly what makes him the most dominant asset in the game, it also makes him one of the riskiest. With McCaffrey taking 311 carries in 2025, it's important to note that he has handled more than 100 attempts in back-to-back seasons only one time since starting his career with three fully healthy campaigns, and he has never played more than six games following a season in which he carried the ball at least 220 times. At almost 30 years old, and with his past injury history pitted against his league-winning upside, he comes into organized team activities as RotoBaller's dynasty RB9. Given the way his last season went, it's likely he is already rostered by a contending team in most leagues, and while he profiles as an obviously risky hold, he remains, paradoxically, far too valuable to sell for the prices he's currently fetching.

Brian Thomas Jr. • WR • Jaguars

Brian Thomas Jr. A Risky Buy-Low with Immense Upside

After a 2024 rookie season in which he caught 87 passes for 1,282 yards and 10 touchdowns, Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. saw his productivity crater in Year 2, and he now heads into his third season as RotoBaller's dynasty WR28 after reaching as high as WR5. While much of his rookie season success came with backup quarterback Mac Jones under center, the disconnect between Thomas and Trevor Lawrence was staggering in 2025, especially with Lawrence playing as the fantasy QB1 over the final ten weeks of the season and popping up in MVP conversations. Among receivers with at least 75 targets in 2025, only five players had a lower reception percentage than Thomas, while only Jerry Jeudy had more drops. With the Jaguars boasting one of the deepest receiver rooms in the league, there is no guarantee of Thomas getting back to his 2024 form, but the traits that made him a first-round pick and the fantasy WR4 as a rookie have not gone away. With his dynasty value having taken such a hit, the upside he represents could make him one of the best buy-lows for managers willing to gamble on talent.

Tre' Harris • WR • Chargers

Tre' Harris a Dynasty Hold That Could Require Patience

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Tre' Harris caught only 30 passes for 324 yards and a touchdown as a rookie, often left off the field in favor of Ladd McConkey, Quentin Johnston, and Keenan Allen. With significant changes coming to the Chargers' offense, there is a path for the 2025 second-round pick to take a significant step forward in year two. New offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel takes over for the far more conservative Greg Roman, which could mean more downfield opportunities for a player who averaged more than 17 yards per reception in his two years at Ole Miss. The Chargers also spent four of their eight 2026 draft picks on the offensive line and are expected to have both of their Pro Bowl tackles back and healthy for the start of the season, presumably allowing longer developing plays to operate more frequently on schedule. With Allen no longer on the roster, Los Angeles added speedy receiver Brenen Thompson in the fourth round of the NFL Draft, which is a win for Harris in terms of immediate target distribution, though the two young receivers could operate in similar roles. At RotoBaller's WR66, Harris is a dynasty hold who has the skills to become a weekly fantasy contributor. He could also spend another year buried on the depth chart should the Chargers elect to bring in additional pass catchers, ever a possibility given the team's recent hosting of free-agent tight end David Njoku, while Allen also remains on the market.

Braelon Allen's Dynasty Stock Takes a Hit After Teammate's Extension

New York Jets running back Braelon Allen is still the RB2 in New York heading into the 2026 season, but the 22-year-old's dynasty stock took a hit on Friday when it was announced that the Jets signed Breece Hall to a three-year, $45.75 million contract extension that makes him the third-highest-paid RB in the league. Allen suffered an MCL injury in 2025 in his second season in the NFL that limited him to four games played. He finished with just 18 carries for 76 yards and one touchdown while catching two passes for 17 yards after he rushed for 334 yards and two touchdowns in 17 games (two starts) in his rookie season in 2024. The former fourth-rounder (134th overall) in 2024 out of the University of Wisconsin could still have plenty of fantasy value if Hall were to go down with an injury, but now that Hall is under contract with the Jets for another three seasons beyond 2026, his upside in dynasty leagues will be tempered.

Josh Allen • QB • Bills

Josh Allen Still the Top Dynasty QB in his Prime

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen's passing numbers took a slight dip in 2025, but he still finished as the QB1 in fantasy scoring for the fourth time in the last six seasons, thanks to his rushing prowess. Allen is the only QB with 500-plus rushing yards in each of the last five years. He's on another level in the rushing department, which gives him an incredibly high floor. He threw for 3,668 yards, 25 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions in 17 regular-season starts while adding 112 rushing attempts for 579 yards and 14 touchdowns on the ground. The 29-year-old might not have had the passing numbers that many were hoping for, but he did have a career-high best 69.3% completion percentage in an offense that lacked the deep threat through the air. Allen isn't going to be the most prolific passer in the league, but it certainly helps that he has a new weapon in 2026 in receiver DJ Moore, whom the Bills acquired this offseason from the Chicago Bears.

Kyler Murray • QB • Vikings

Kyler Murray Suddenly a Rising Dynasty Target in Minnesota

Quarterback Kyler Murray's dynasty stock reached an all-time low last year when he didn't play beyond Week 5 with the Arizona Cardinals due to a foot sprain. It was the beginning of the end of his time in Arizona after the Cardinals took him with the first overall pick in 2019 out of Oklahoma. Despite playing in a career-low five games and finishing as the QB38 last year, the 28-year-old's dynasty stock is surging back upwards after he was released and signed a one-year, $36.8 million deal with the Minnesota Vikings. He will take over as the starter in Minnesota over J.J. McCarthy, and although Murray hasn't played a full season in four of the last five years due to injuries, he's a rising dynasty target because of his landing spot. Murray will have arguably one of the best receiving corps to work with in Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, and Jauan Jennings, not to mention tight end T.J. Hockenson. Murray should be asked to push the ball more down the field, and his high-end rushing upside will give him QB1 upside if he can stay on the field. He's in the best situation of his career. There is risk, but Murray has suddenly climbed up to the QB20 in RotoBaller's dynasty rankings going into 2026.
