C.J. Stroud • QB • Texans

Is C.J. Stroud Currently Undervalued by Dynasty Managers?

Since bursting onto the fantasy scene as a rookie in 2023, Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud has struggled to live up to the hype. Across 14 games in 2025, the 24-year-old completed 64.5% of his pass attempts for 3,041 yards, 19 touchdowns, and eight interceptions. Stroud's fantasy upside is capped by his lack of rushing ability, as he's averaged 200 rushing yards per season in his NFL career and has four career rushing touchdowns. However, there may be reason to believe that 2026 can be his most efficient year as a passer since his rookie season. Houston made some key additions to its offensive line in the offseason, signing tackle Braden Smith and left guard Wyatt Teller in free agency and then using a first-round pick in the 2026 Draft on center Keylan Rutledge. The Texans should also get healthier seasons out of wide receivers Nico Collins and Tank Dell (knee) and have a pair of exciting young wideouts in Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel. Stroud may never emerge as a fantasy superstar, but he still offers dynasty managers some upside while providing a solid QB2 floor.

Joe Mixon • RB

Is Joe Mixon Worth Rostering in Dynasty Formats?

With less than three months remaining before the start of the 2026 NFL season, veteran running back Joe Mixon is currently unsigned. Mixon missed the entirety of 2025 with a mysterious foot/ankle injury and was released by the Houston Texans in March. Mixon was a productive player as recently as 2024, recording 1,325 yards from scrimmage and 12 touchdowns on 281 touches across 14 games with Houston. However, his current health status remains an open question, and he will also turn 30 years old this July. At this point, it seems possible that Mixon's NFL career might be over. Even if he latches on somewhere before the start of 2026, he will likely be in a complementary role. Given the circumstances, dynasty managers are probably safe to move on from Mixon.

RJ Harvey • RB • Broncos

Should Dynasty Managers Be Looking to Sell High on RJ Harvey?

A second-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Denver Broncos running back RJ Harvey finished his rookie season with 896 scrimmage yards and 12 touchdowns on 13 touches across 17 games (seven starts). Harvey was more productive as a receiver than a rusher, as he recorded 47 catches for 356 yards and five scores, but averaged just 3.7 yards per carry. He also struggled to carve out a consistent role in the Denver offense until Broncos back J.K. Dobbins went down with a season-ending foot injury in Week 10. Dobbins should be back to full health for the start of the upcoming season, and Denver also selected running back Jonah Coleman in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Harvey profiles as the primary third and passing-down back for the Broncos, but he may be hard-pressed to see much rushing work as long as Dobbins and Coleman stay healthy. Dynasty managers may want to explore selling high on Harvey ahead of a potential workload decline in 2026.

Brian Robinson Jr. • RB • Falcons

Brian Robinson Jr. Remains a Valuable Dynasty Handcuff Option Entering 2026

After recording 92 carries for 400 yards and two touchdowns across 17 games with the San Francisco 49ers in 2025, veteran running back Brian Robinson Jr. is entering his first season with the Atlanta Falcons in 2026. Robinson Jr. offered little standalone appeal to fantasy managers last season, as he spent the year in a backup role behind 49ers superstar Christian McCaffrey. Ironically, Robinson Jr. finds himself in a very similar situation in Atlanta behind Falcons back Bijan Robinson. There may be slightly more opportunity available to Robinson Jr. this season, as former Falcons back Tyler Allgeier collected eight touchdowns while playing alongside Bijan in 2025. Still, his greatest value to fantasy managers is as a handcuff option. Should Robinson suffer an injury, Robinson Jr. would profile as the clear lead back in Atlanta. He remains stash-worthy in dynasty formats entering 2026.

D'Andre Swift • RB • Bears

D'Andre Swift a Sell-High Candidate Ahead of Potential Workload Reduction in 2026?

Across 16 games in 2025, Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift recorded 1,386 scrimmage yards and 10 touchdowns on 257 touches. Swift has been one of the NFL's more consistent backs in recent years, as he's now logged three consecutive seasons with at least 16 games played, 250 touches, and 1,260 yards from scrimmage. However, Swift's usage in Chicago declined a bit down the stretch of the 2025 season thanks to the emergence of Bears running back Kyle Monangai. From Week 11 through Week 18, neither Swift nor Monangai played more than 60% or fewer than 40% of Chicago's offensive snaps. Entering 2026, the two backs appear set to both play significant roles in the Bears' offense. With Swift entering his age-27 season and the final year of his current contract, Monangai may profile as the future of the running back position in Chicago. In dynasty formats, managers may want to explore selling high on Swift ahead of a possible production decline in 2026.

Ray Davis • RB • Bills

Is Ray Davis Still Worthy of a Dynasty Roster Spot?

Buffalo Bills running back Ray Davis flashed upside as a rookie in 2024, finishing the year with 631 scrimmage yards and six touchdowns on 130 touches. However, Davis' production fell across the board in his second season in 2025, as he logged just 361 scrimmage yards and two scores on 68 touches. Buffalo chose to feature star running back James Cook III more heavily in 2025, and Davis also fell behind Ty Johnson on the Bills' running back depth chart. With former Bills play-caller Joe Brady being promoted to head coach, Cook III's usage seems unlikely to change in 2026. Because Johnson profiles as more of a receiving threat, Davis may be more likely than Johnson to take over the RB1 role if Cook III were to suffer an injury. Still, Davis and Johnson would likely split snaps to some degree in that scenario. Cook III has also been exceptionally durable in his career, missing just two games across his first four NFL seasons. Davis is worth stashing in deeper dynasty formats, but his handcuff upside may not be high enough to make him roster-worthy in shallower leagues.

Travis Kelce • TE • Chiefs

Is Travis Kelce a Worthy Dynasty Buy-Low Candidate Entering 2026?

Despite rampant speculation that he would retire following the 2025 season, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is back for at least one more year in 2026. As he enters his age-37 season, Kelce is clearly no longer the elite force he once was at his peak. However, he remained a useful piece for fantasy managers in 2026, recording 76 catches for 851 yards and five touchdowns on 108 targets across 17 games. Kelce could presumably have a stronger offensive environment around him in Kansas City in 2026 if Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) can play a fully healthy season. Additionally, the Chiefs once again look to be light on reliable pass-catching options outside of Kelce, particularly given wide receiver Rashee Rice's (knee) persistent struggles with both injury and off-field issues. Kelce's upside on a week-to-week basis is limited, but his current dynasty value may be undervaluing the solid production floor he can provide for win-now managers in 2026.

DJ Moore • WR • Bills

Is DJ Moore Still Being Undervalued by Dynasty Managers?

Buffalo Bills wide receiver DJ Moore had one of the least productive seasons of his career in 2025, his final season as a member of the Chicago Bears. Across 17 games, Moore recorded 50 catches for 682 yards and six touchdowns on 85 targets. However, Moore looks to be in a prime position for a resurgent season following his offseason trade from Chicago to Buffalo. With the Bills, Moore profiles as the clear WR1 in an offense that has been searching for a high-end pass-catcher to emerge since the team traded away wideout Stefon Diggs ahead of the 2024 season. Prior to 2025, Moore averaged 87 receptions, 1,093 yards, and six touchdowns per season over a four-year stretch from 2021 through 2024. The 29-year-old has also been one of the most durable wide receivers in the NFL, as he has not missed a game since December of 2020. In dynasty formats, Moore's stock has risen since the trade. However, he may still be undervalued given the opportunity ahead of him in Buffalo.

Jordan James • RB • 49ers

Jordan James a Prime Dynasty Buy-Low Candidate Entering 2026

A fifth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, San Francisco 49ers running back Jordan James appeared in just three games and did not record a single carry as a rookie last season. However, James reportedly has a strong chance to enter 2026 as the 49ers' primary backup behind superstar running back Christian McCaffrey. Following the offseason departure of former 49ers back Brian Robinson Jr., James' primary competition for the RB2 role appears to be rookie third-rounder Kaelon Black and 2024 fourth-rounder Isaac Guerendo. While James is not guaranteed to win the job, he may have the well-rounded skill set of the group and has drawn praise from 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan this offseason. As long as McCaffrey stays healthy, James' path to fantasy-relevant playing time will remain blocked. Still, McCaffrey has a long injury track record and is entering his age-30 season after logging an NFL-leading 413 touches in 2025. Dynasty managers should prioritize buying low on James ahead of his potential emergence as a high-end handcuff running back.

Mack Hollins • WR • Patriots

Is it Time for Dynasty Managers to Drop Mack Hollins?

Across 15 games (13 starts) in 2025, New England Patriots wide receiver Mack Hollins recorded 46 receptions for 550 yards and two touchdowns on 65 targets. While the veteran wideout has never been a high-volume target-earner, he's a valuable blocker in the running game and an underrated downfield threat on the outside. Hollins' skill set could keep him on the field consistently for the Patriots once again in 2026. However, his already questionable target outlook has taken a hit over the offseason thanks to New England's acquisitions of wide receivers A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs. The Patriots may also be looking to expand the role of 2025 third-round pick Kyle Williams, and Kayshon Boutte remains in New England as well. As he enters his age-33 season, Hollins profiles as a low-upside fantasy wide receiver whom dynasty managers should feel comfortable moving on from.

Ladd McConkey • WR • Chargers

Ladd McConkey a Dynasty Buy-Low Candidate in Improved Offense

After a standout rookie campaign in 2024, Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey saw his numbers fall across the board in 2025. Across 16 games (12 starts), the 24-year-old recorded 66 receptions for 789 yards and six touchdowns on 106 targets for an average of just 11.3 PPR fantasy points per game. Despite the downturn in production, there's reason for fantasy managers to be optimistic about McConkey's outlook in 2026. For one, the Chargers brought in a new play-caller over the offseason in former Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel, who should help maximize the team's offensive weapons. Additionally, veteran wideout Keenan Allen is currently a free agent after leading the team with 122 targets in 2025. If the Chargers do not bring back Allen, McConkey could see an uptick in both targets and playing time in the slot. In dynasty formats, managers may want to explore buying low on McConkey ahead of a possible re-emergence in 2026.

Jaylin Noel • WR • Texans

Jaylin Noel Stands Out at Minicamp, Top Slot Option in Houston?

Houston Texans wide receiver Jaylin Noel stood out as a winner at the team's veteran minicamp, according to Jared Koch of Sports Illustrated. Per Koch, Noel "stood out as the clear top option in the slot for Houston's air attack." A third-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Noel recorded 26 receptions for 292 yards and two touchdowns on 35 targets across 17 games as a rookie. The 23-year-old spent most of 2025 in a reserve role behind veteran wideout Christian Kirk, but Kirk has since departed Houston for the San Francisco 49ers. The return of Texans wide receiver Tank Dell (knee) from the knee injury that cost him the entire 2025 season could create a new barrier to playing time for Noel. However, it appears that Noel is a key piece of Houston's game plan on offense heading into training camp. His stock in both dynasty and redraft formats could continue to rise throughout the summer with a strong performance in training camp.

Derrick Henry • RB • Ravens

Derrick Henry to Be Trusted in Dynasty Leagues Until Proven Otherwise

An outlier of the highest order, Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry has played 37 games since turning 30, averaging over 115 yards per game while scoring 38 touchdowns. While the coaching staff in Baltimore faces a major shakeup for 2026, the offensive philosophy of feeding one of the league's premier bell cow backs is unlikely to change. After serving as the team's primary change-of-pace back in 2025, Keaton Mitchell was not offered a restricted free agent tender and allowed to walk in free agency, and with 11 picks heading into the 2026 NFL Draft, the Ravens did not add a running back until owner Steve Bisciotti was given the opportunity to put his stamp on the draft with the selection of Adam Randall in the fifth round. Given his age and production, it's likely that Henry is already rostered by a contending manager in most dynasty leagues, but wherever that isn't already the case, the 11th-year veteran makes for an affordable trade target and is still a potential league-winner as RotoBaller's RB24.

Ryan Flournoy • WR • Cowboys

Ryan Flournoy a Dynasty Stash with Little Standalone Value

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Ryan Flournoy showed sporadic flashes in his second season but remains little more than an end-of-bench dynasty stash. Across 15 games in 2025, he accumulated 475 receiving yards, but almost half of that came in two games: the first with CeeDee Lamb sidelined with a high-ankle sprain and the other in a wild primetime affair with the Lions that saw 74 total points scored and Dak Prescott dropping back to throw more than 50 times. Across 13 other contests, Flournoy averaged less than 19 yards per game while adding three touchdowns. Should Lamb or George Pickens miss extended time moving forward, the most obvious benefactor will continue to be tight end Jake Ferguson, but even as a third option in such a scenario, Flournoy could see enough opportunity in a high-powered Cowboys offense to make him fantasy viable as the occasional injury replacement or bye week fill-in. At RotoBaller's dynasty WR121, the 26-year-old Flournoy is by no means a must-roster player, but in shallower leagues, he should be floated in trade conversations before being viewed as an outright drop candidate.

Jalen Nailor • WR • Raiders

Jalen Nailor Undervalued as the Raiders' Potential WR1?

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jalen Nailor signed a three-year, $35 million contract in free agency, leaving behind one of the league's most top-heavy receiver rooms in Minnesota for a wide-open one in Vegas. In his final season with the Vikings, Nailor led the team with four touchdown grabs and 15.3 yards per reception, making the most of a bad situation and flashing big play ability in a limited role. While the Raiders offense is expected to run through tight end Brock Bowers and running back Ashton Jeanty in 2026 and beyond, Nailor needs to beat out only Tre Tucker and 2025 second-round pick Jack Bech for an every-down role in Klint Kubiak's play-action-heavy system. With Bowers fighting through injury for much of the year and ultimately missing five games, Tucker led the team with 696 receiving yards in 2025. However, Jakobi Meyers opened the year as the Raiders' primary receiver, helping to suppress individual production across the team. With Meyers now gone, there's a realistic path for one of Vegas' wideouts to reach 1,000 yards for the first time in their career, and with the highest financial commitment of the lot, Nailor should see every opportunity to be that guy. At RotoBaller's dynasty WR86, he's an under-considered asset who could provide usable depth to contending rosters.

Audric Estimé • RB • Saints

Audric Estime No Longer a Player Who Needs to Be Rostered

Spending time on the practice squads of the Eagles and New Orleans Saints after being released by the Broncos ahead of the 2025 season, second-year running back Audric Estime eventually worked his way onto the Saints' active roster and finished the year with 204 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown in the final two games of the season. However, any glimmer of hope heading into the 2026 season was dashed when the Saints made Travis Etienne Jr. the highest-paid free agent running back on the open market, relegating Estime to a rotational backup spot at best. With veteran Alvin Kamara still on the roster and 2025 sixth-round pick Devin Neal recovered from the hamstring injury that landed him on injured reserve, the running back room is deep, and Estime is by no means a lock to stick on the 53-man roster. It bears noting that Neal was unable to finish the final session of OTAs, so his attendance will need to be monitored when the team returns for minicamp practices on Tuesday. That said, barring injury or a trade that sees the depth chart dramatically thinned ahead of him, Estime is a dynasty cut candidate with no clear path to fantasy relevance.

Riley Leonard Competing for the Colts' No. 2 Role

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Riley Leonard started the final game of his 2025 rookie campaign, throwing for 270 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception, and he is now battling for the primary backup role behind Daniel Jones, according to Colts Insider Joel A. Erickson. With Jones still recovering from his December Achilles tear and unable to participate in full team drills, Leonard split minicamp reps with 2023 fourth overall pick Anthony Richardson Sr., and their competition for the number two job is expected to carry into training camp. Indianapolis declined Richardson's fifth-year option, putting him on the final season of his rookie contract, so if Leonard can win the job outright, it could be his to hold for the foreseeable future. With the mobility to provide fantasy viability in any spot-start duties, and potentially available on waivers in many leagues, the 2025 sixth-round pick is worthy of back-of-roster consideration in deep dynasty leagues.

Parker Washington Set to be Core Piece of Jaguars Passing Game

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington broke out in 2025 in his third year in the league with 58 receptions on 95 targets for 847 yards and five touchdowns in 16 regular-season games (seven starts). He played a backup role in the offense during the first two months of the year before being thrust into a starting role after rookie Travis Hunter's (knee) season-ending injury. According to Sports Illustrated's John Shipley, "all signs from three-day mandatory minicamp are that the Jaguars are set to trust him even more in 2026." The 24-year-old former sixth-rounder in 2023 out of Penn State combined for 48 catches, 522 yards, and five TDs in his first two years in the NFL. Even though Hunter will continue to be used on offense, and Jakobi Meyers and Brian Thomas Jr. are still involved, it is clear that Washington is "set to be a core piece" in the passing game. According to Next Gen Stats, Washington had a team-high 23.7% of the Jaguars' third-down targets last year and averaged 3.1 yards per route run on third down, the most among WRs with at least 75 routes run on third down. With a full season as a starter in 2026, Washington should be able to improve on his numbers from a year ago and potentially have a shot to be a 1,000-yard receiver.

Ashton Dulin • WR • Colts

Ashton Dulin Competing for a Chance to Start in 2026

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Ashton Dulin has "never had a bigger chance to start" going into the 2026 season after the Colts traded veteran wideout Michael Pittman Jr. to the Pittsburgh Steelers in the offseason, according to James Boyd of The Athletic. Alec Pierce (ankle) and Josh Downs are set to slide into the Colts' top two receiver spots in 2026, leaving Dulin to compete with veterans Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and Laquon Treadwell, as well as rookie seventh-rounder Deion Burks, for the third WR spot. Boyd suggests that Dulin could have the upper hand because he's entering his fourth year in head coach Shane Steichen's offense. The 29-year-old former undrafted free agent out of Malone College has already been impressing during offseason practices. In his six seasons in the NFL (all with the Colts, Dulin has just 40 receptions on 70 targets for 623 yards and four touchdowns in 82 games played (seven starts). The best thing going for Dulin is his versatility, as he's been a key special teams asset and has also played defensive back. Duliin will be a deep fantasy sleeper going into the 2026 campaign.

Tank Dell • WR • Texans

Tank Dell's Outlook "Becoming More Positive"

The Houston Texans are still easing wide receiver Tank Dell (knee) in during offseason workouts, but KPRC2 Sports' Aaron Wilson says that Dell's outlook is "becoming more positive," and he plans to increase his practice activity at training camp this summer. Dell has been running and cutting without any setbacks, although he isn't as dynamic as he was before he dislocated his knee and tore his ACL, MCL, and LCL two years ago. There is still a long way to go for the former University of Houston star, but he has already made significant progress. "Looking for him to be Tank," WRs coach and passing-game coordinator Ben McDaniels said. "He's been working really hard to get back to what he knows he is and can be. It's been a long process, and he's still at it." The 26-year-old broke his leg in his rookie season and was also shot in the leg that same offseason, so he has endured no shortage of adversity. The Texans are taking a patient, big-picture approach with the speedster, but they do plan on him being an asset in 2026. At least early on, Dell will probably be facing an uphill battle for consistent targets in a WR corps that already features WR1 Nico Collins and emerging second-year wideouts Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel.
