Xavier Worthy • WR • Chiefs

Xavier Worthy a Buy-Low Candidate for Dynasty Managers Following NFL Draft?

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy turned in an underwhelming season in 2025, recording 42 receptions for 532 yards and a touchdown on 73 targets across 14 games. Despite abundant target-earning opportunities in Kansas City for much of the season, Worthy's numbers fell across the board from his rookie year in 2024. Due to his poor performance, Worthy's dynasty value is declining heading into 2026. However, the Chiefs have yet to make notable changes to their pass-catching group this offseason. Kansas City used a fifth-round pick on University of Cincinnati wide receiver Cyrus Allen, but he's unlikely to play a significant role as a rookie. As a result, Worthy should have plenty of chances to put together a bounce-back campaign in 2026. While Worthy's NFL production to this point does not inspire a ton of confidence, dynasty managers may want to consider buying low on him given his expected role in Kansas City.

Skyler Bell Earning Comparisons to Elite NFL Wideout Following NFL Draft

Former UConn wide receiver Skyler Bell was drafted by the Buffalo Bills in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Per Ryan Talbot of syracuse.com, Bell has drawn comparisons to current Cincinnati Bengals superstar Ja'Marr Chase for his athleticism and big-play skillset with the ball in his hands. Bell was highly productive as a college senior in 2025, recording 101 receptions for 1,278 yards and 13 touchdowns across 13 games. A comparison to Chase is probably unfair to any young wide receiver, let alone a fourth-round pick. However, Bell should have a chance to make an immediate impact in a Bills' wide receiver room that appears to be searching for consistent contributors outside of D. Moore and Khalil Shakir. In dynasty formats, Bell could be a sleeper for managers to keep an eye on heading into 2026.

Jayden Daniels' Supporting Cast in Washington Remains Similar Following NFL Draft

After an electric rookie season in 2024, Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels suffered through a disastrous sophomore campaign in 2025. Knee, hamstring, and elbow injuries limited him to just seven games played. Daniels also saw his efficiency as both a passer and a rusher drop across the board in the games he was healthy for. He averaged just 6.7 yards per pass attempt and 4.8 yards per carry in 2025, down from 7.4 yards per pass attempt and six yards per carry in 2024. Daniels should enter 2026 fully healthy, which obviously improves his odds for a bounce-back year. However, Washington used its lone selection in the first two rounds of the NFL Draft on the defensive side of the ball. While the Commanders did add Clemson wideout Antonio Williams in the third round, they left the offensive line in front of Daniels largely unchanged. Daniels elite dual-threat ability means his dynasty upside remains sky-high. Still, there are question marks around Daniels' supporting cast in Washington heading into his third NFL season.

Joe Burrow's Dynasty Value Remains Impacted by Injury Concerns

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow battled through yet another injury-marred season in 2025, missing nine games due to a toe injury. Dating back to the start of the 2023 season, Burrow has been sidelined by injury for 16 contests. When healthy in 2025, the 29-year-old remained highly productive, completing 66.8% of his pass attempts for 1,809 yards, 17 touchdowns, and five interceptions. Throughout Burrow's career, the offensive line play in front of him in Cincinnati has consistently been problematic. The Bengals added a pair of offensive linemen in the 2026 NFL Draft, selecting Auburn center Connor Lew in the fourth round and Duke guard Brian Parker II in the sixth round. However, neither player projects as an immediate difference-maker for a line that remains questionable heading into 2026. While Burrow is more than capable of turning in elite fantasy seasons, his dynasty value remains shrouded by his injury track record.

Andrei Iosivas Facing New Competition for Bengals' WR3 Role After NFL Draft

Across 17 games in 2025, Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Andrei Iosivas recorded 33 receptions for 435 yards and two touchdowns on 58 targets. Over the past two seasons, the 26-year-old has established himself as the clear WR3 in Cincinnati behind star wideouts Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. When both Chase and Higgins are healthy, Iosivas does not have a clear path to consistent fantasy production. However, Higgins has missed 12 games over the past three seasons, which has periodically opened up opportunities for Iosivas. In the 2026 NFL Draft, Cincinnati used a fourth-round pick on talented Georgia wide receiver Colbie Young. While Young is far from a lock to beat out Iosivas for the Bengals WR3 role, Iosivas could now face yet another impediment to fantasy-relevant target opportunity in Cincinnati. As he heads into his fourth NFL season, Iosivas' dynasty value would likely be improved by a change in scenery.

Tyjae Spears • RB • Titans

Tyjae Spears Facing Competition in a Contract Year

Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears will face added competition in the backfield during the 2026 season. Spears and teammate Tony Pollard survived the first two days of the draft without the team selecting a running back, but that changed on Day 3 when they selected Penn State standout Nicholas Singleton. Singleton had an explosive 2024 season but cooled off in 2025, dropping his draft stock significantly. Still, the Penn State product has proven that he is a talented player capable of contributing on the ground or through the air. That's bad news for Spears, who is a pass-catching specialist and typically gets on the field for third downs. Singleton had 91 catches and 902 receiving yards over his final three collegiate seasons. It's a contract year for Spears, so he'll do everything he can to fight for playing time so that he can showcase himself ahead of free agency. Day 3 picks typically don't contribute right away, so Spears will at least have an opportunity to solidify his role early in the season.

Jaylen Wright • RB • Dolphins

Jaylen Wright Remains an Appealing Handcuff Option Following NFL Draft

Across 10 games in 2025, Miami Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright recorded 332 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns on 75 touches. Wright got off to a slow start to the year after suffering a leg injury that caused him to miss time. However, he gradually worked his way past fellow Dolphins back Ollie Gordon II on the depth chart and finished the year as Miami's primary RB2 behind De'Von Achane. The Dolphins did not add any notable competition to the running back room in the 2026 draft, but they did add offensive lineman Kadyn Proctor with a first-round pick. As long as Achane is in Miami, Wright's path to consistent fantasy production is largely blocked. Still, Wright offers clear handcuff appeal to fantasy managers heading into 2026, provided he can stay in front of Gordon II on the depth chart.

Ollie Gordon II Fighting for a Roster Spot?

Miami Dolphins running back Ollie Gordon II's roster spot isn't guaranteed ahead of the 2026 NFL season. Gordon entered this week's draft as the team's No. 3 running back behind De'Von Achane and Jaylen Wright. While the Dolphins didn't draft a running back, they did still bring in competition for Gordon by signing Texas A&M running back Le'Veon Moss as an undrafted free agent. Moss' best season at school came in 2024, when he rushed for 765 rushing yards, 141 receiving yards, and 10 rushing touchdowns. As the returner on this roster, Gordon has an early advantage over Moss for the third running back spot, but the true test will come during training camp and the preseason. Because the Dolphins have a new-look coaching staff and front office, Gordon may have to prove himself as much as Moss or any other player on the roster. The Oklahoma State product had a modest 231 scrimmage yards, but he added four touchdowns along the way. As it stands, Gordon is the RB69 in RotoBaller's latest dynasty fantasy football rankings.

Colby Parkinson • TE • Rams

Colby Parkinson Facing More Competition Than Ever Before

Los Angeles Rams tight end Colby Parkinson ended up leading his position group in fantasy points last year, but his position atop the depth chart may be in jeopardy ahead of the 2026 season. The Rams have 2025 second-round pick Terrance Ferguson set to make a Year 2 leap, and they also spent a second-round pick on Ohio State tight end Max Klare this past Friday. All the while, veteran Tyler Higbee was brought back on a new contract. This is a very crowded tight end room, and common sense would indicate that the Rams want to get Ferguson and Klare more involved, since they're the presumptive tight ends of the future in Los Angeles. We wouldn't be surprised if Parkinson's 2026 looks similar to the first half of 2025 -- handling a decent snap share but not being heavily involved in the passing game. He was the TE67 from Week 1-9 last season, then jumped to TE4 from Week 10-18. As it stands, he ranks as the overall TE52 in RotoBaller's latest dynasty fantasy football rankings. For comparison, Ferguson is the TE25 and Klare is the TE27.

Omarion Hampton • RB • Chargers

Omarion Hampton Faces Minimal Competition After the NFL Draft

Los Angeles Chargers running back Omarion Hampton remains the clear-cut No. 1 option on the depth chart heading into May. The Chargers didn't select a running back in the 2026 NFL Draft, leaving Hampton in the lead-back role and Keaton Mitchell as his projected backup. Mitchell has flashed burst and productivity in the past, and he averages 6.34 yards per carry so far in his career. While his speed fits nicely in offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel's system, he offers an occasional burst or big play, rather than every-down consistency. The every-down role should remain with Hampton, who averaged 60.6 rushing yards, 3.6 catches, 21.3 receiving yards, and 0.6 touchdowns per game while dodging injuries as a rookie last year. He remains the overall RB8 in RotoBaller's latest dynasty fantasy football rankings.

Brandon Aiyuk • WR • 49ers

Commanders Interested in Brandon Aiyuk, Waiting for His Release

The Washington Commanders are expected to have interest in wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk if he is released by the San Francisco 49ers, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. There seems to be a bit of a stalemate at this point in the offseason. The Niners have said they are in no rush and would like to trade Aiyuk. However, they've also said that Aiyuk will not play for them in 2026, so at some point, if a trade doesn't come to fruition, he'll have to be released. As a result, the Commanders are in no rush because they expect him to become a free agent before the regular season. Therefore, while Aiyuk to the Commanders is not imminent, it does seem like Washington is the early favorite to acquire him. He'd offer an enormous boost to their wide receiver room, which is relatively thin behind Terry McLaurin. Aiyuk hasn't played an NFL snap since 2024, when he tore his ACL seven games into a 25-catch, 374-yard campaign.

Blake Corum • RB • Rams

Blake Corum's 2026 Role Appears Secured

For the first time since 2016, the Los Angeles Rams did not add to the running back position through the NFL draft, and Blake Corum's place on the depth chart appears to be secured heading into his third professional season. A 2024 third-round pick, Corum came into his own in year two, rushing for 746 yards and six scores while averaging more than five yards per carry. With the room looking identical to the one from last year, 2025 fourth-round pick Jarquez Hunter could be in line for his own sophomore season bump after only seeing the field on special teams plays as a rookie, but with the Rams showing an eagerness to keep Kyren Williams fresh, Corum's role still has room for expansion. Corum averaged 10.5 carries per game from Week 7 through the end of the year, and he was the RB15 over the final five weeks of the fantasy season. At RotoBaller's dynasty RB32, he is one of the league's most valuable insurance backs, but he should also maintain his own standalone worth in a high-powered Rams offense.

Jaxson Dart • QB • Giants

The Arrow is Pointing Way Up for Jaxson Dart Ahead of Second Season

New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart brought a spark to the team as soon as he took over as the starter in Week 4, and while his fantasy-friendly play style as a rookie bordered on reckless at times, the team has taken strides to protect and build around their young signal caller. The Giants spent the 10th pick of the 2026 NFL Draft on Miami offensive lineman Francis Mauigoa, who could make an immediate impact at guard or eventually develop into one of the best tackles from this class. They traded into the top of the third round to add Notre Dame's outside field-stretcher Malachi Fields, who will give Dart another downfield weapon after the free agent acquisition of Darnell Mooney. No move, though, will have a larger impact on Dart's year two growth than the return to health of 2024 first-round pick Malik Nabers. Nabers tore his ACL in Dart's first career start, so the two never had a chance to develop chemistry, but his 109 receptions as a rookie were a Giants single-season record. Dart is RotoBaller's dynasty QB10, but if he can learn to protect himself and make it through a full season, there's no reason he can't threaten for a top-five ranking as early as 2026.

Calvin Ridley • WR • Titans

Can Calvin Ridley Earn Back a Starting Role?

Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley has become the forgotten piece of Tennessee's passing offense. After paying up to land former Giant Wan'Dale Robinson in free agency, the team spent the fourth overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft on Ohio State prospect Carnell Tate, continuing to add youth to a group that saw rookies account for 41.2% of the team's receiving yards in 2025. While three of the Titans' four leading pass catchers were first-year players, it was Ridley who was leading the team in targets and yards before a broken fibula ended his season after only six games. His 48.3 receiving yards per game ultimately held up as the most on the team, all accomplished before quarterback Cam Ward took significant strides toward the end of his own rookie season. If Ridley can earn his way back into three-receiver sets alongside Tate and Robinson, he could become a steal at his current cost of RotoBaller's dynasty WR91.

David Montgomery • RB • Texans

David Montgomery Escapes NFL Draft Unscathed

Houston Texans running back David Montgomery was acquired this offseason when the team sent a package, including their 2026 fourth-round pick, to the Detroit Lions. Montgomery joined a backfield that was dominated, largely out of necessity, by 2025 fourth-round pick Woody Marks, and with the Texans entering the NFL Draft with few glaring needs, there was a thought that they could add an additional body to the room. That did not come to pass, and Montgomery escaped the weekend as the clear top back on the depth chart. While splitting time with former first-round pick and three-time Pro Bowler Jahmyr Gibbs, Montgomery averaged more than 70 yards and .73 touchdowns per game in their time together. Marks is a reliable pass catcher who will prevent him from taking on a full bellcow role, but Montgomery is in a position to handle his largest workload since his time in Chicago, and at RotoBaller's dynasty RB31, he is a smart buy for contending managers.

Chris Godwin Jr. • WR • Buccaneers

Chris Godwin Jr. an Offseason Winner

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin Jr. is coming off a year in which he saw career lows in receptions, yards, and yards per route run, while his two receiving touchdowns were the lowest since his rookie season. However, he is now 18 months removed from the gruesome lower leg injury that ended his 2024 season and limited him at times throughout 2025. Prior to the injury, he was the fantasy WR2 through the first seven weeks of his age-28 season. Now 30, any fears that he may be slowing down did not show up in the Buccaneers' offseason approach. The team allowed Mike Evans to depart in free agency and spent only a late Day 2 pick on the receiver position, adding Georgia State's Ted Hurst in the middle of the third round. Hurst will likely compete with Jalen McMillan for Evans' vacated snaps on the boundary, while Godwin and Emeka Egbuka offer versatility across the formation and should be the team's most consistent target-earners in 2026. At RotoBaller's dynasty WR49, Godwin is a low-cost buy for competing managers.

Malik Willis • QB • Dolphins

Malik Willis Gets Three New Receivers in the Draft

Miami Dolphins quarterback Malik Willis entered this week with a relatively weak supporting cast, but the wide receiver room improved during the NFL Draft. The Dolphins selected Texas Tech wide receiver Caleb Douglas and Louisville wide receiver Chris Bell in the third round, and then they went out and drafted Missouri wide receiver Kevin Coleman Jr. in the fifth round. None of these players has the draft capital to be an immediate superstar, but they're still intriguing names who offer youth and upside. Plus, most importantly, all three of them -- and especially Douglas and Bell -- have the potential to get on the field as starters in Week 1. The non-rookies in Miami's wide receiver room are Malik Washington, Jalen Tolbert, and Tutu Atwell. None of those are flashy names, and we wouldn't be surprised to see any of the rookies establish themselves as immediate contributors throughout training camp and the preseason. Adding capable pass-catchers bodes well for Willis, who is a run-first quarterback but will still need to throw the ball to have success in 2026. He ranks as the QB25 in RotoBaller's early redraft rankings.

Antonio Williams • WR • Commanders

Antonio Williams to See Starting Role on Day 1 in Weak Wide Receiver Room?

Washington Commanders wide receiver Antonio Williams didn't hear his name called until the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft, but he could still have a starting role as early as Week 1. The Clemson product had 130 catches, 1,508 yards, and 15 touchdowns over his last two seasons at school. Now, he immediately projects as the Commanders' No. 2 receiver behind Terry McLaurin. That's good enough to get him into the starting lineup right away, assuming Washington doesn't make any other big additions at the position. There's still a chance they could go out and acquire someone like Brandon Aiyuk, but for now, all signs point to Williams having a significant role. Third-round draft capital doesn't usually translate to first-year success in fantasy football, but there are exceptions, especially for receivers with as much projected volume as Williams.

Terrance Ferguson • TE • Rams

Terrance Ferguson No Longer the Unquestioned Future TE1 in Los Angeles?

Los Angeles Rams tight end Terrance Ferguson's dynasty value took a significant hit during the 2026 NFL Draft. The Rams spent their second-round pick on Ohio State's Max Klare, who is a pass-catching tight end with high upside. It seems as though Los Angeles is refusing to let Ferguson have an easy path to the No. 1 tight end role. Not only is Klare an obstacle for him, but the Rams also re-signed Tyler Higbee, who should continue to have a significant role within the position group. It's not completely crazy to suggest that Ferguson could fall as low as fourth on the depth chart behind Colby Parkinson, Higbee, and Klare. In all likelihood, we'll see a frustrating dynamic similar to what the Rams showed near the end of last season when they incorporated multiple tight ends. Ferguson had one catch over four games from Week 12-15, then randomly broke out with touchdowns in back-to-back contests. Meanwhile, Parkinson was the TE67 from Week 1-9, then jumped to TE4 from Week 10-18. If the Rams adopt a similar approach to handling the tight end position, it will be tough to know which Rams tight end to start in a given week, if any at all. Maybe Ferguson's dynasty outlook will get clearer after Parkinson's contract expires next March, but for now, this is a crowded position group that we want no part of. Ferguson can be avoided in redraft leagues, and he's a fringe top-30 tight end in dynasty formats.

Brenton Strange • TE • Jaguars

Does Brenton Strange Still Need to Prove Himself in Jacksonville?

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Brenton Strange seemed like the clear-cut No. 1 option on the depth chart this offseason, and all signs pointed to him being a strong extension candidate. However, that perception has changed following this week's NFL Draft. The Jaguars made several tight end additions in the draft, selecting Texas A&M's Nate Boerkircher at No. 56 overall and Houston's Tanner Koziol at No. 164 overall. Boerkicher has more of a blocking skill set, but he's certainly capable of catching passes, too. Meanwhile, Koizol is a true pass-catcher who should compete for targets right away. Strange is clearly still the No. 1 tight end here, but there's now less confidence in his ability to fend off competition long-term. The Jaguars sent a clear message that they want some other tight ends to get involved going forward. It's possible that Strange hit his peak last year when he averaged 9.8 fantasy points per game. When extrapolated over 17 games, that's still good enough for a top-15 finish in PPR leagues. However, the new additions certainly place a cap on his long-term upside.
