Justin Herbert • QB • Chargers

Justin Herbert Has the Tools Around Him to Outperform His Current Redraft ADP

Across 16 games in 2025, Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert completed 66.4% of his pass attempts for 3,727 yards, 26 touchdowns, and 13 interceptions. The 28-year-old also rushed for a career-high 498 yards and two scores, which helped him finish as the fantasy QB10 on a per-game basis. Entering 2026, Herbert could be in a position to put together his best fantasy season to date. The Chargers have a new play-caller in place in Mike McDaniel, who should help open up the offense. Los Angeles will also have its star tackle duo of Rashawn Slater and Joe Alt back in action after the two combined to play just six games in 2025. Finally, Herbert has a strong core of young playmakers around him in wide receivers Ladd McConkey and Quentin Johnston, tight end Oronde Gadsden II, and running back Omarion Hampton. If the Chargers offense takes a step forward in its first season under McDaniel and Herbert maintains his increased rushing aggression from a season ago, he could be undervalued by current redraft ADP as the ninth quarterback off the board.

De'Von Achane • RB • Dolphins

De'Von Achane Remains a High-End Dynasty RB Despite Offensive Uncertainty

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane (shoulder) put together an all-world season in 2025, recording 1,838 yards from scrimmage and 12 touchdowns on 305 touches across 16 games. Even with the rest of the Miami offense crumbling around him, Achane led the NFL in yards per carry (5.7) and recorded 67 catches for 488 yards and four touchdowns on 85 targets. The Dolphins overhauled their coaching staff, quarterback room, and wide receiver room over the offseason, leading to speculation that Achane might have been on the trade block. Instead, Miami inked Achane to a four-year contract extension, cementing him as one of the team's building blocks as it enters a new era. The 24-year-old is recovering from offseason shoulder surgery, but should be ready to go for the start of 2026. Even with the uncertain offensive environment around him in Miami, Achane should be viewed as an elite running back option in dynasty formats.

Ashton Jeanty Should Still Be Viewed as an Elite Dynasty Running Back

The sixth overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Las Vegas Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty entered his rookie season with plenty of fantasy hype. The 22-year-old volumed his way to a solid season, recording 1,321 scrimmage yards and 10 touchdowns on 321 touches across 17 games. However, he averaged just 3.7 yards per carry and finished as the RB16 by per-game PPR scoring. While Jeanty's lack of efficiency is a bit concerning, he was working within one of the worst offensive ecosystems in 2025. The Raiders enter 2026 with a new coaching staff, an overhauled offensive line, and hope at quarterback in the form of rookie signal-caller Fernando Mendoza. Jeanty proved as a rookie that he has a three-down skill set and can absorb a heavy workload. If the changes around him in Las Vegas lead to some more holes for him to run through, Jeanty could break out as a superstar in 2026. In any dynasty league where his value has dipped below high-end RB1 status, managers should look to buy low.

Marvin Harrison Jr. • WR • Cardinals

Has Marvin Harrison Jr.'s Redraft Value Fallen Too Far?

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. struggled with both injuries and inconsistency in 2025, finishing the year with just 41 receptions for 608 yards and four touchdowns on 73 targets across 12 games. The 23-year-old has flashed upside as a ball-winner and a red zone threat, but he's largely failed to live up to the prospect hype that led to him being the fourth overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. Entering 2026, Harrison Jr. is definitely behind star Cardinals tight end Trey McBride on the team's target pecking order and may even have slipped behind fellow wideout Michael Wilson. However, Harrison Jr. will have a chance to work with a new coaching staff this season, which could be the fresh start he needs. Harrison Jr. is reportedly still recovering from the myriad injury issues that forced him to miss five games last season, but he should be ready to go for the start of 2026. Given that he's fallen all the way down the low-end WR3 range by redraft ADP, Harrison Jr. may be an ideal buy-low candidate for fantasy managers.

Blake Corum • RB • Rams

Is Blake Corum a Sneaky Redraft Sleeper Entering 2026?

After seeing limited playing time as a rookie in 2024, Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum took on a significantly larger role in his team's offense in 2025. Across 17 games, the 25-year-old recorded 746 rushing yards and six touchdowns on 145 carries. Corum's workload upside with Los Angeles remains limited by the presence of Rams running back Kyren Williams, who recorded over 1,500 scrimmage yards and 13 touchdowns in 2025. However, Corum proved last season that he can be productive even while ceding touches to Williams. If Los Angeles opts for a slightly more even workload split between its two backs in 2026, Corum could emerge as a consistent flex option for fantasy managers. Of course, Corum is also perhaps the most valuable handcuff option in fantasy football, as he would immediately vault into borderline RB1 territory if Williams were to go down with an injury. All in all, Corum may be slightly undervalued by current redraft ADP as the 35th running back off the board.

Ted Hurst • WR • Buccaneers

Ted Hurst Carries Dynasty Stash Appeal into 2026

After recording 71 catches for 1,004 yards and six touchdowns across 12 games at Georgia State in 2025, wide receiver Ted Hurst was selected by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Hurst may not be expected to contribute right away in a Tampa Bay passing game that already features a deep group of wide receivers in Emeka Egbuka, Chris Godwin Jr., Jalen McMillan, and Tez Johnson. Still, Hurst profiles as a true outside X receiver, which may make him the most logical long-term replacement for former Bucs wideout Mike Evans, who departed the team in free agency. Godwin Jr. and McMillan both battled significant injury issues in 2025, which could be another route for Hurst to find his way onto the field. Dynasty managers should not expect immediate production from Hurst, but he profiles as a worthy stash candidate for rebuilding teams.

Jayden Reed • WR • Packers

Jayden Reed Carries Dynasty Buy-Low Appeal in New-Look Packers WR Room

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed missed 10 games in 2025 due to collarbone and foot injuries, finishing the year with just 19 catches for 207 yards and a touchdown on 22 targets. Reed has been an efficient player when healthy in his career to date, recording over 1,900 scrimmage yards and 17 touchdowns across his first two seasons with the Packers in 2023 and 2024. However, he's struggled to see consistent target volume in the run-heavy Green Bay offense, averaging four targets per game since the start of 2024. That could change in 2026, as the Packers let wide receiver Romeo Doubs walk in free agency and traded wideout Dontayvion Wicks to the Philadelphia Eagles while signing Reed to a three-year extension this past offseason. Green Bay still has wide receivers Christian Watson and Matthew Golden, but Reed should play an important role as the team's primary slot receiver. Given the Packers' financial commitment to Reed, he could be a worthy buy-low target for dynasty managers entering 2026.

Josh Whyle • TE • Packers

Josh Whyle Emerging as Legitimate Pass-Catching Threat?

Green Bay Packers tight end Josh Whyle has emerged this offseason after taking significant snaps with the starters, according to Rob Demovsky of ESPN. The Packers still have Tucker Kraft as their TE1 and Luke Musgrave as depth, and Whyle only caught five passes for 36 yards and a touchdown in eight games last year in Green Bay. "We can't believe that the Titans would let a product like that go," Kraft said. "And we're fortunate to have him." The 26-year-old former fifth-rounder by Tennessee in 2023 out of the University of Cincinnati caught 37 of his 52 targets for 342 yards and two touchdowns in 28 games (seven starts) in his first two years in the NFL with the Titans. Although he had a limited role with the Packers in Year 3 in 2025, Whyle could be more involved in a depth role in Green Bay in 2026. Whyle is only a name to monitor for now, and he'll likely need one of Kraft or Musgrave to miss time due to injury to find a fantasy-relevant role.

Zach Ertz • TE

Zach Ertz Still Trying to Play in 2026

Veteran free-agent tight end Zach Ertz (knee), who remains unsigned with training camp quickly approaching next month, said on the New Heights podcast that he continues to work towards being 100% healthy for the 2026 season, according to Josh Alper of Pro Football Talk. "We're in a good spot. We're like five, almost six months now from surgery," Ertz said. "Just training every day, doing everything I can to get back to where I was. It's a long process. There's some long days, there's some long weeks, some long months . . . it's tough, but we're just trying to stack these days right now." In his 13th year in the NFL last season with the Washington Commanders, the 35-year-old caught 50 of his 72 targets for 504 yards and four touchdowns in 13 starts before suffering a season-ending torn ACL in Week 14. Because of the timing of the injury and his age, Ertz is not guaranteed to be ready for the start of the 2026 season, which is certainly why he's still a free agent. A team could take a chance on the three-time Pro Bowler before the start of the upcoming season if he proves he's fully healthy, but for right now, Ertz is off the fantasy radar.

Dillon Gabriel • QB • Browns

Dillon Gabriel Competing for Depth Role in Cleveland

Cleveland Browns second-year quarterback Dillon Gabriel has "had a very nice spring," but he will enter training camp at the end of July competing for a depth role behind Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders, according to Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer. After being surprisingly selected before Sanders in the third round (94th overall) last year out of the University of Oregon, Gabriel went on to appear in 10 games (six starts) while throwing for 937 yards, seven touchdowns, and two interceptions on 185 pass attempts. The 25-year-old southpaw will essentially be competing for the No. 3 QB role this summer with rookie sixth-rounder Taylen Green. When healthy and in a starting role in 2025 in his rookie season, Gabriel looked mostly like an underwhelming game manager, but to be fair, he didn't have a ton of help around him on offense. Gabriel will enter his sophomore campaign completely off the redraft fantasy radar.

KC Concepcion • WR • Browns

KC Concepcion Expected to Move Around on Offense

Cleveland Browns rookie first-round wide receiver KC Concepcion could be moved around the offensive formation in his first year in the NFL in new head coach Todd Monken's offense as the Browns look for "the best ways to utilize his explosiveness," according to The Athletic's Zac Jackson. Even with a less-than-ideal quarterback competition going on between Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders this summer, Concepcion, the 24th overall pick in April out of Texas A&M, could be fantasy relevant in most leagues in 2026 in his first year in the NFL. Veteran Jerry Jeudy really struggled last year, which is why the Browns brought in both Concepcion and Denzel Boston (second round) to beef up the team's passing attack. The Browns have every reason to throw both Concepcion and Boston into the fire immediately and give them big roles to try and spark their offense. In his lone season with the Aggies in 2025, Concepcion caught 61 passes for 919 yards and an SEC-leading nine touchdowns in 13 games. His opportunity and upside make him RotoBaller's No. 47 fantasy WR as he heads into his rookie season.

Denzel Boston • WR • Browns

Denzel Boston Impresses Coaching Staff During Offseason Workouts

Cleveland Browns rookie second-round wide receiver Denzel Boston "might have been the most impressive offensive player in the (Browns') spring sessions," according to Zac Jackson of The Athletic. The Browns still have Jerry Jeudy atop their WR depth chart, but Boston and fellow rookie KC Concepcion (24th overall pick in April) should make immediate impacts in new head coach Todd Monken's offense in 2026. Of course, the Browns' quarterback situation -- competition between Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders -- isn't ideal, but the 6-foot-4, 209-pound Boston could see plenty of targets on the outside in his first year in the NFL. If Boston continues to impress the coaching staff during training camp this summer, he should at least be considered Cleveland's WR2 behind Jeudy, with a chance to overtake him later this year if Jeudy's struggles persist. In his final two collegiate seasons at the University of Washington, Boston hauled in 125 catches for 1,715 yards and 20 touchdowns in 25 games played. RotoBaller has him ranked as the No. 60 fantasy WR as he heads into his first year in the league.

C.J. Stroud • QB • Texans

C.J. Stroud Taking a Leap This Offseason?

Houston Texans offensive coordinator Nick Caley said that he has seen quarterback C.J. Stroud "take a leap this offseason," according to Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle. Caley sees a different comfort level from Stroud and said the communication between him and new quarterbacks coach Jerry Schuplinski "has been good." "There was a lot of progress that C.J. and the offense made last year," Caley said. "We continued to get better from the start of the season to the end of the regular season and just continued to make progress from week to week. So we're going to continue to build on that. It's a new year. C.J. has done a great job out here. Looks good. Locked in." The 24-year-old took the league by storm after he was the second overall pick in 2023 out of Ohio State, throwing for 4,108 yards, 23 touchdowns, and only five interceptions in 15 regular-season starts. He hasn't been nearly as good the last two years, and he threw for a career-low 3,041 yards, 19 touchdowns, and eight picks in 14 regular-season starts in 2025. Stroud has clear bounce-back potential and is still in the prime of his career, making him a low-end QB2 target in superflex leagues with sleeper potential in 2026.

Kaytron Allen • RB • Commanders

Is Kaytron Allen Currently Undervalued in Redraft Leagues?

Washington Commanders rookie running back Kaytron Allen was one of the more productive running backs in college football during his time at Penn State, recording over 2,600 scrimmage yards and 25 touchdowns over his final two seasons for the Nittany Lions. However, Allen fell to the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Despite the draft day slide, Allen could have a chance to earn consistent playing time in the Commanders' backfield as a rookie. Between Jacory Croskey-Merritt, Rachaad White, Jeremy McNichols, and Jerome Ford, Washington has several capable backs for Allen to compete with. However, none of the Commanders' rushers other than Croskey-Merritt and Allen profiles as particularly high upside options. Allen's fantasy profile comes with some risk, as there's a chance he falls out of the Washington backfield rotation completely. However, the current lack of an obvious RB1 for the Commanders makes Allen an appealing dart-throw in the late rounds of redraft leagues.

Demond Claiborne • RB • Vikings

Demond Claiborne Profiles as a Worthy Dynasty Stash Candidate Entering 2026

After recording 1,047 scrimmage yards and 10 touchdowns on 207 touches across 12 games in his senior season at Wake Forest, running back Demond Claiborne was selected by the Minnesota Vikings in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Claiborne is unlikely to see significant playing time in Minnesota as a rookie, as he enters the year with veterans Aaron Jones Sr. and Jordan Mason both firmly ahead of him on the running back depth chart. However, neither Jones Sr. nor Mason is currently under contract with the Vikings beyond the 2026 season. Claiborne is undersized for an NFL running back, but he brings a speed element that could allow him to establish himself as a key piece of the Minnesota offense going forward. Given the clear long-term opportunity available in the Vikings backfield, Claiborne profiles as a worthy late-round dart throw for dynasty managers in rookie drafts.

Michael Wilson • WR • Cardinals

Michael Wilson Carries Clear Dynasty Sell-High Appeal into 2026

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson was one of the breakout success stories of the 2025 season, recording 78 receptions for 1,006 yards and seven touchdowns on 126 targets across 17 games. Wilson finished the season on a five-game touchdown-scoring streak, and he saw double-digit targets in five out of 12 games after veteran Jacoby Brissett took over as the Cardinals' starting quarterback. Brissett is back as Arizona's starter for 2026, which helps Wilson's outlook. However, Arizona has an ultra-high-volume target-earner in tight end Trey McBride and should get a healthier season out of wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. The Cardinals also averaged over 40 pass attempts per game with Brissett under center in 2025, which seems unlikely to continue under a new coaching staff in 2026. Dynasty managers should feel comfortable holding Wilson, but exploring sell-high opportunities for the 26-year-old could also prove fruitful.

Tony Pollard • RB • Titans

Should Dynasty Managers Look to Sell High on Tony Pollard?

Across 17 games in 2025, Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard recorded 1,288 yards from scrimmage and five touchdowns on 275 touches. The 29-year-old has been both consistent and durable in recent years, recording four consecutive seasons with at least 16 games played and 1,000 rushing yards. Pollard may also have more chances to score touchdowns in 2026 in what should be an improved Titans offense in quarterback Cam Ward's second NFL season. However, Pollard is entering his final year under contract with Tennessee in 2026. The Titans have a new coaching staff in place and a couple of younger running back options on the roster in Tyjae Spears and fifth-round rookie Nicholas Singleton. Pollard has averaged just 4.5 yards per touch over his first two seasons in Tennessee, so he's highly reliant on volume for fantasy production. In dynasty formats, managers may want to sell high on Pollard ahead of a potential workload decline in 2026.

Chris Brazzell II • WR • Panthers

Chris Brazzell II's Dynasty Stock Rising Entering 2026

A third-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, Carolina Panthers rookie wide receiver Chris Brazzell II could have a chance to carve out an immediate role with his new team. Across 12 games for the University of Tennessee in 2025, Brazzell II recorded 62 catches for 1,017 yards and nine touchdowns. The Panthers have Tetairoa McMillan locked in as their WR1 on the outside, and the team recently committed to slot wideout Jalen Coker with a multi-year contract extension. However, Brazzell II may enter training camp in a job battle with third-year Panthers wide receiver Xavier Legette for the team's WR3 role. Legette has largely been a disappointment since being selected by Carolina in the first round of the 2024 draft, failing to reach 50 catches or 500 receiving yards in either of his first two NFL seasons. With a strong summer, Brazzell II could establish himself as a building block in the Panthers passing game. Entering 2026, Brazzell II ranks as RotoBaller's dynasty WR67.

Ja'Kobi Lane • WR • Ravens

Ja'Kobi Lane's Dynasty Upside in Baltimore is Clear

After recording 49 receptions for 745 yards and four touchdowns across 11 games in his final collegiate season at USC, wide receiver Ja'Kobi Lane was selected by the Baltimore Ravens in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Lane is one of two prominent rookie wideouts on the Baltimore roster, as the team also selected Elijah Sarratt in the fourth round. Entering his first NFL season, Lane should have a chance to emerge as an immediate contributor. Zay Flowers is Baltimore's clear WR1, but presumed WR2 Rashod Bateman is coming off a 2025 season in which he was both inconsistent and injured. With a new coaching staff in place, the Ravens could be looking to turn the page and go with their younger pass-catchers. Baltimore has typically been one of the NFL's run-heaviest offenses in the Lamar Jackson/Derrick Henry era, which could put a ceiling on Lane's fantasy production. Still, Lane has a clear pathway to a fantasy-relevant role in Baltimore and should be a target for dynasty managers who are focused on the long term.

Josh Jacobs • RB • Packers

Josh Jacobs a Potential Boom-or-Bust Pick in 2026 Drafts

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs has been one of fantasy's most consistent contributors when healthy, but allowing for the uncertainty stemming from his pending legal situation, he projects as one of the biggest boom-or-bust picks in 2026 drafts. Jacobs was the RB5 in 2024 and remained a top 12 fantasy back last season despite missing two games and playing through injury over the back half of the year. He has scored 30 total touchdowns in his 32 games with the Packers, and behind an offensive line that should see improvement in the run game, a healthy Jacobs is a near-lock to outperform his current ranking of RotoBaller's RB17. Green Bay has made no corresponding moves at running back since news first broke of his domestic violence allegations, and while charges have yet to be filed against him, the risk of suspension will follow Jacobs into the year, likely keeping him out of the first two rounds of 2026 drafts and threatening to derail his season altogether.
