Samaje Perine • RB • Bengals

Samaje Perine's Handcuff Appeal Undervalued by Current Redraft ADP?

Across 15 games in 2025, Cincinnati Bengals running back Samaje Perine recorded 469 scrimmage yards and three touchdowns on 101 touches. As he enters his age-31 season, Perine has established himself as a reliable third-down back who can also handle RB2 duties as a rusher. Entering 2026, Perine profiles as the clear backup in Cincinnati behind star Bengals running back Chase Brown. As long as Brown stays healthy, Perine's fantasy appeal is limited. Brown is entering his age-26 season and has largely avoided injury to this point in his career. Still, Brown has played in 33 games and amassed 584 touches over the past two seasons. If he goes down, Perine has a three-down skill set and could take over as the primary back in Cincinnati. At his current redraft ADP of RB75, Perine's handcuff appeal may be undervalued ahead of 2026.

Dalton Schultz • TE • Texans

Dynasty Managers Should Explore Dalton Schultz's Value in the Trade Market

Across 17 games in 2025, Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz recorded 82 catches for 777 yards and three touchdowns on 106 targets. Schultz's steady production was enough for him to finish as the TE13 by per-game PPR scoring, and he finished the year by scoring double-digit PPR points in five out of Houston's final seven games. However, Schultz may struggle to repeat his strong performance in 2026. Given his lack of big-play ability (career average of 7.0 yards per target), Schultz is reliant on steady target volume for fantasy production. Houston added veteran tight end Foster Moreau in free agency, selected tight end Max Klare in the second round of the 2026 draft, and should get a healthier season in 2026 out of tight end Cade Stover. Additionally, the Texans have a pair of up-and-coming young wide receivers in Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel who could feature more heavily in the team's passing game this year. As he enters his age-30 season, Schultz profiles as a sell-high candidate for dynasty managers.

Jauan Jennings' Dynasty Stock Set to Fall Following Offseason Move?

After spending the first five seasons of his NFL career with the San Francisco 49ers, wide receiver Jauan Jennings is entering his first year with the Minnesota Vikings in 2026. Jennings emerged as a more prominent piece of the San Francisco passing game over the past two seasons, recording over 1,600 receiving yards and 15 touchdowns since the start of 2024. However, he now profiles as the clear WR3 in a Vikings offense that already features star wideouts Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison. While Minnesota's passing game should be improved this season following the addition of quarterback Kyler Murray, the Vikings may still struggle to support fantasy-relevant production for three pass-catchers. Additionally, Jennings is entering his age-29 season and plays a physical style that has led to him playing through nagging injuries in recent years. In dynasty formats, Jennings profiles as a clear sell-high candidate ahead of 2026.

Xavier Legette • WR • Panthers

Does Xavier Legette Carry Buy-Low Appeal Ahead of 2026?

A first-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, Carolina Panthers wide receiver Xavier Legette has widely provided uninspiring production through the first two years of his career. Across 15 games in 2025, the 25-year-old recorded 35 catches for 363 yards and three touchdowns on 64 targets. Entering 2026, Legette could still be in a position to play a starting role alongside top Panthers wideouts Tetairora McMillan and Jalen Coker. However, Carolina added some competition for Legette in the form of rookie wide receiver Chris Brazzell II, whom the team selected in the third round of the 2026 draft. Still, Legette's stock has fallen to the point where he will most likely go undrafted in most 12-team redraft leagues ahead of 2026. As a former first-rounder who still has a clear path to a starting role with his team, Legette could be a worthy low-cost flier for deep-league managers.

Rashee Rice • WR • Chiefs

Is Rashee Rice Overvalued at Current ADP?

Entering 2026, Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice (knee) is one of the most difficult players to value in fantasy. On paper, the 26-year-old is a talented pass-catcher who also profiles as the number one option for Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. However, Rice has been unable to avoid off-field issues in recent seasons and could be facing a second league suspension in 2026 after being suspended for the first six games of 2025. Rice also has an extensive injury history at this point, as he's dealt with knee and concussion issues in his career and is currently recovering from knee surgery that he underwent in May. While Rice is expected to be healthy for the start of 2026, he is nearly impossible for fantasy managers to feel comfortable relying on. At his current average draft position of WR11 in redraft leagues, Rice may be a player for fantasy managers to avoid.

Ja'Tavion Sanders • TE • Panthers

Ja'Tavion Sanders a Dynasty Buy-Low Candidate Entering 2026

A fourth-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, Carolina Panthers tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders has struggled to break through to fantasy-relevant production in the first two years of his NFL career. Sanders battled injury in 2025, missing time early in the year with an ankle sprain and then suffering a season-ending broken fibula in Week 17. He finished the year with 29 catches for 190 yards and one touchdown on 34 targets across 13 games. Still, Sanders should have an opportunity to emerge as a key piece of the Panthers' passing game in 2026. His primary competition for playing time in Carolina is veteran tight end Tommy Tremble, who excels as a blocker but has never reached 250 receiving yards in any of his five NFL seasons. In dynasty formats, Sanders could be a worthy buy-low target for managers searching for upside at the tight end position.

Jacoby Brissett Works Out With Teammates Amid Contract Dispute

Arizona Cardinals veteran quarterback Jacoby Brissett hasn't taken part in organized team workouts this offseason as he works through a contract dispute with the organization, but that hasn't stopped him from working out with some of his teammates in a private setting, according to Tyler Drake of Arizona Sports. Brissett posted on his Instagram recently after a workout with receivers Marvin Harrison Jr. and Simi Fehoko, tight ends Trey McBride and Elijah Higgins, and quarterback Kedon Slovis. Despite the uncertainty about Brissett's contract situation, he's expected to be Arizona's Week 1 starter under center in new head coach Mike LaFleur's offense in early September. The 33-year-old had a career year in 2025 in his 10th year in the league after taking over for the injured Kyler Murray, throwing for 3,366 yards, 23 touchdowns, and eight interceptions in a pass-happy offense. He established great chemistry with McBride and receiver Michael Wilson, but pass-game volume is expected to fall under LaFleur in 2026. And if Brissett struggles, there could be pressure to give rookie Carson Beck a look. Coming off a career year with regression expected, Brissett should go undrafted in single-QB, 12-team fantasy leagues. RotoBaller has Brissett ranked as the QB27 going into the 2026 campaign.

Kyler Murray, J.J. McCarthy Dead-Even in QB Competition Heading into Camp?

Minnesota Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell wouldn't shed much light on where the quarterback competition stands between Kyler Murray and J.J. McCarthy during an appearance on The Dan Patrick Show with training camp quickly approaching later this month, according to NFL.com's Nick Shook. "Kyler has come in and done a great job," O'Connell said. "J.J., I think, has benefited from it; he's had a really good spring. Carson Wentz is this veteran quarterback in the room," O'Connell said. Some believe that Murray is already the favorite to win the starting job, but O'Connell isn't going to admit it before camp even begins. Murray, 28, flamed out with the Arizona Cardinals and is no stranger to injury, but given his experience and dual-threat abilities, he makes sense as the QB1 to begin the 2026 regular season, and he will have clear bounce-back potential in a better offensive situation in Minnesota with a QB whisperer as his new head coach. In fantasy, Murray is the much more intriguing QB2 option with upside because of his rushing ability. RotoBaller has Murray ranked as the QB19, with McCarthy not even listed among the top-34 signal-callers.

Nate Boerkircher • TE • Jaguars

Nate Boerkircher the Favorite for TE2 Duties in Jacksonville

Sports Illustrated's John Shipley writes that Jacksonville Jaguars rookie second-rounder Nate Boerkircher is the favorite to be the team's No. 2 tight end behind Brenton Strange in 2026. Boerkircher had only 38 catches for 417 yards and four touchdowns in five collegiate seasons with Nebraska and Texas A&M, but the Jags "have been extremely high on their rookie" and what he can do for the rest of the offense. The 6-foot-4, 220-pounder figures to make an impact immediately as a blocker, but they also think that he has untapped potential in the passing game. It won't be easy for Boerkircher, though, as he'll face competition from Quinton Morris and fellow rookie fifth-rounder Tanner Koziol. Koziol was "hands-down the most impressive tight end" not named Strange during offseason workouts. Depending on how the numbers shake out for the final 53-man roster, Hunter Long could be the odd-man out at the position. For Jacksonville's No. 2 TE role, blocking will be a point of emphasis, and Boerkircher definitely has the upper hand there over Koziol, whose blocking was a serious question mark in college.

Shedeur Sanders • QB • Browns

Browns Interested in Trading Shedeur Sanders?

The NFL Network's James Palmer reports that "there have been some things circulating" that the Cleveland Browns "could be moving on" from second-year quarterback Shedeur Sanders. Cleveland now has plenty of draft capital and are expected to be in on the strong QB class in next year's NFL draft. Palmer also reports that Sanders is "making up ground" and "has closed the gap" in the quarterback competition with veteran Deshaun Watson. The belief is that the competition is close this summer in training camp, the Browns will go with Watson, who has more NFL experience and also much more invested into him by the organization. Sanders is improving in terms of his pocket presence and in going through his progressions, and he's done everything right since he fell to the fifth round in last year's draft. Accuracy is the 24-year-old's strength, but he's been more of a developmental prospect in terms of playing under center, reading defenses, and playing with anticipation. Palmer is not convinced that the Browns are set on trading Sanders because of the improvement that he's shown since joining the NFL. Neither Watson nor Sanders will carry much value in single-QB, 12-team fantasy leagues in 2026, but now might be a good time to buy low on Sanders in dynasty/keeper formats.

Tre' Harris • WR • Chargers

Tre' Harris has a Path to Relevance, but Target Competition Will be Fierce

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Tre' Harris has a better Year 2 setup than his rookie numbers show, but his path to consistent targets will be complicated. Harris caught just 30 passes for 324 yards and one touchdown in 17 games last season, a quiet start for a 2025 second-round pick. The Chargers still have reasons to keep developing him. He is 24, has 6-foot-3 size, and averaged 17.2 yards per catch at Ole Miss before Los Angeles drafted him 55th overall. Mike McDaniel's arrival also gives the Chargers offense a different look around Justin Herbert, which at least keeps the door open for new usage patterns. The issue is that Harris has to earn targets, not just snaps. Ladd McConkey is the clear top receiver, Quentin Johnston is directly ahead of him on the depth chart, and Oronde Gadsden plus David Njoku add tight-end volume to the mix. At WR81 on RotoBaller's board, Harris is a late redraft swing and dynasty hold, not someone to buy as if the breakout already happened.

Jalen Nailor • WR • Raiders

Jalen Nailor Still More Dart Throw Than Dynasty Buy

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jalen Nailor has a better opportunity than he ever had in Minnesota, but that does not automatically make him a dynasty buy. Nailor is already 27 and has never topped 29 catches or 444 receiving yards in a season, which matters for a player whose value is still built more on projection than proven volume. The Raiders did make a real commitment with a three-year deal that includes $23 million guaranteed, and the fit is interesting after he produced 57 catches, 858 yards, and 10 touchdowns over his last two seasons in Minnesota. He also reunites with Kirk Cousins in a wide receiver room where Tre Tucker is the top returning producer but not an untouchable target hog. Still, Brock Bowers should lead the passing game, Jack Bech and Dont'e Thornton Jr. are entering Year 2, and Malik Benson adds more speed. Sitting at WR66 on RotoBaller's board, Nailor is fine as a late redraft or best-ball swing. Dynasty managers should be careful paying like a breakout is already here.

RJ Harvey • RB • Broncos

RJ Harvey Still Has Upside, But Workload Is Messy

Denver Broncos running back RJ Harvey (shoulder) still has enough upside to draft, but managers should not treat him like a clean Year 2 breakout. Harvey scored 12 total touchdowns as a rookie, catching 47 passes for 356 yards while adding 540 rushing yards and seven scores on the ground. Denver has praised his route-running and playmaking with the ball in his hands, and that receiving role still matters in Sean Payton's offense. The problem is the backfield did not get simpler. J.K. Dobbins is back on a two-year deal after looking like Denver's best early-down runner when healthy, and the Broncos used a fourth-round pick on Jonah Coleman, a physical runner with third-down ability. Harvey is also coming off offseason shoulder surgery, so training camp matters. RotoBaller has him ranked RB35 across formats, which fits the risk. He is an upside bench pick in redraft and a dynasty hold, not someone to value like a locked-in lead back.

J.K. Dobbins • RB • Broncos

J.K. Dobbins Better as Redraft Asset Than as a Dynasty Hold

Denver Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins (foot) is easier to trust as a 2026 redraft pick than as a long-term dynasty hold. Dobbins looked good when available last season, rushing for 772 yards and four touchdowns in 10 games while averaging 5.0 yards per carry. Denver then brought him back on a two-year deal, so there is still a real early-down path in Sean Payton's offense. The problem is how much managers can actually count on. Dobbins is 27, missed the final seven regular-season games with the foot injury, and the Broncos have added real competition around him. RJ Harvey was a second-round pick in 2025, and fourth-round rookie Jonah Coleman has already been framed as part of a possible three-headed run game. RotoBaller has Dobbins priced around RB30-RB31, which is fair for the risk. He can help redraft managers and dynasty contenders, but rebuilders should sell if another manager is buying a full rebound.

LeQuint Allen Jr. • RB • Jaguars

LeQuint Allen Jr. a Dynasty Buy-Low Candidate Entering 2026?

A seventh-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Jacksonville Jaguars running back LeQuint Allen Jr. recorded 148 scrimmage yards on 33 touches across 17 games as a rookie. Even in a backfield that also featured running backs Travis Etienne Jr. and Bhayshul Tuten, Allen Jr. carved out a semi-regular role as a passing-downs back. Entering 2026, Jacksonville's backfield no longer features Etienne Jr., who departed the team in free agency. Allen Jr. may still be blocked from fantasy-relevant playing time, as Tuten is expected to assume the Jaguars RB1 role and Jacksonville also brought in former Washington Commanders back Chris Rodriguez Jr. (foot). Still, Allen Jr. may have a chance to expand his role in the Jaguars offense, especially as a receiver out of the backfield. In his final collegiate season at Syracuse in 2024, Allen Jr. recorded 64 catches for 521 yards and four touchdowns across 13 games. In deeper dynasty leagues, Allen Jr. could be a worthy buy-low/stash candidate.

Chris Bell Carries Clear Appeal for Dynasty Rebuilds Entering 2026

Miami Dolphins rookie wide receiver Chris Bell (knee) may not be ready for the start of the 2026 season as he works his way back from a torn ACL that he suffered in late November. However, the 22-year-old carries clear long-term upside. Before the injury, Bell recorded 72 catches for 917 yards and six touchdowns across 11 games for the University of Louisville. Entering 2026, Miami features a trio of underwhelming veteran options atop its wide receiver depth chart in Jalen Tolbert, Tutu Atwell, and Malik Washington. Alongside fellow rookies Caleb Douglas and Kevin Coleman Jr., Bell could have a chance to establish himself as a prominent piece of the Dolphins' passing game once healthy. For dynasty managers who are currently rebuilding, Bell is a logical target in rookie drafts.

MarShawn Lloyd • RB • Packers

MarShawn Lloyd May Be Undervalued at His Current Redraft ADP

A third-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, Green Bay Packers running back MarShawn Lloyd has failed to establish himself through the first two seasons of his career. Thanks to myriad injury issues, Lloyd has appeared in just one NFL game and collected just six carries so far as a pro. Still, the 25-year-old enters 2026 with a clear opportunity to carve out a role in the Packers' backfield. Green Bay lost former RB2 Emanuel Wilson in free agency, and RB1 Josh Jacobs is currently battling some off-field issues that could lead to a league-mandated suspension at some point during the upcoming season. Even if Jacobs avoids discipline from the league, he's entering his age-28 season and has already racked up over 2,100 touches in his NFL career. If Lloyd can beat out similarly unproven Packers backs Chris Brooks and Pierre Strong Jr. for the team's RB2 role, he could be one of the better handcuff running back options in fantasy football. At his current redraft ADP of RB62, Lloyd may be undervalued heading into 2026.

Malik Nabers • WR • Giants

Malik Nabers Could Miss the First 4-5 Games of 2026?

In a recent podcast episode of the John Keim Report, ESPN's Jordan Raanan speculates that New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (knee) may not return to the field until Week 5 or 6 of the 2026 season. Nabers suffered a season-ending knee injury in Week 4 of the 2025 season and has had a delayed rehab process since then that included an additional procedure to clean up scar tissue. While Raanan is speculating rather than reporting that Nabers may not be ready to start the year, it certainly seems as though the star wideout may be tracking towards a delayed opening to the upcoming season. Nabers put together an electric rookie season in 2024, recording 109 receptions for 1,204 yards and 10 touchdowns on 170 targets across 15 games. Once healthy, he profiles as the clear number one option in the Giants' passing game and carries top-12 wide receiver upside for fantasy managers. However, the 22-year-old's current knee troubles remain a major concern for his overall outlook entering 2026.

Does T.J. Hockenson Have Bounce-Back Potential in 2026?

Across 15 games in 2025, Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson recorded 51 catches for 438 yards and three touchdowns on 66 targets. Like all the other pass-catchers for Minnesota, Hockenson's production was limited by the Vikings' bottom-tier quarterback play in 2025. Veteran signal-caller Kyler Murray brings more stability to Minnesota's passing game in 2026, although the team's overall offensive ecosystem is not guaranteed to be significantly improved. Hockenson is also showing signs of athletic decline as he enters his age-29 season, as he averaged a career-low 8.6 yards per reception in 2025. Additionally, the Vikings signed wide receiver Jauan Jennings in free agency, adding a quality target-earner and red-zone weapon to an offense that already features the star wide receiver duo of Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison. Even at his current ADP of TE22 in redraft leagues, Hockenson may be a player for fantasy managers to avoid in 2026.

Jordan Addison Carries Redraft Sleeper Appeal into 2026

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison had a season to forget in 2025. After missing the first three games of the year due to a suspension, the 24-year-old finished the season with 42 catches for 610 yards and three touchdowns on 79 targets. Addison was a victim of the Vikings' brutal quarterback play in 2025, as the team received below-average production from signal-callers J.J. McCarthy, Carson Wentz, and Max Brosmer. Minnesota brought in veteran quarterback Kyler Murray over the offseason, who should at least provide the team's passing game with more stability in 2026. The Vikings also signed wide receiver Jauan Jennings in free agency, so Addison has some significant target competition between Jennings and superstar wideout Justin Jefferson. Still, Addison finished the 2024 season as the WR24 by measure of per-game PPR scoring. With his current ADP of WR42 in redraft leagues, Addison carries sleeper value into 2026.
