Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert had the best season of his career in 2025, logging career-high marks in catches (60) and touchdowns (11). He also had 591 receiving yards. Goedert ultimately finished as the overall TE7 in PPR leagues, despite missing two games. His big season earned him a one-year contract extension in Philadelphia, where he's the undisputed No. 1 tight end and should maintain a sizable role, especially around the goal line. Goedert's ceiling could climb even higher if the Eagles trade away wide receiver A.J. Brown, because the 31-year-old tight end would assume a lot of his vacated targets. The Eagles are also expected to have an improved offense in 2026 under new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion. The stars are aligning for Goedert to have another top-10 finish in 2026, and there's no disputing that he has top-five upside. However, given that he's 31 and only under contract for one more season, he's worth selling high in dynasty leagues. As it stands, he ranks #22 among tight ends in RotoBaller's latest dynasty rankings.

New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte continues to trend up in dynasty leagues ahead of his fourth NFL season. Boutte turned in the best season of his young career in 2025, catching 33 passes for 551 yards and six touchdowns, despite missing three games. He ultimately finished as the WR51 in PPR leagues. This wasn't good enough to consistently get him in fantasy lineups, but it was still the best mark of his career and earned him occasional flex appeal. In terms of dynasty fantasy football, Boutte's outlook is trending up. He entered this offseason as the team's No. 2 receiver, and after the team replaced Stefon Diggs with Romeo Doubs, he remains the No. 2 receiver. In fact, he's due for even more targets this season, since Doubs presumably won't take on all 102 of Diggs' vacated targets. Barring an A.J. Brown trade or a flashy receiver selection in the NFL Draft, Boutte should open 2026 as the No. 2 receiver in New England, giving him WR3/flex upside in this Drake Maye-led offense. He can still be acquired for cheap, so receiver-needy fantasy managers should consider sending out a trade offer for Boutte in dynasty leagues.

Chicago Bears running back Kyle Monangai had an impressive rookie season, and he's pushing to take on even more opportunities in his second pro campaign. A glaring Year 2 breakout candidate, Monangai finished last season with 783 rushing yards, 164 receiving yards, and five touchdowns across 17 games, despite not carving out a significant role until Week 7. From Week 7-18, he ranked as the overall RB23 in PPR leagues. The 23-year-old was able to produce at such a high level despite operating as the backup to D'Andre Swift. Both backs had strong seasons, and Swift consistently served as the lead back over Monangai, other than the one game he missed in Week 9. This Ben Johnson-led Bears offense showed that it can support two fantasy-relevant running backs, and we don't expect that to change in 2026. Going forward, Monangai should carve out an even larger role in his second pro season. In fact, he's probably going to get a chance to prove that he deserves to be the Bears' every-down back after Swift's contract expires next offseason. Even after his strong season and RB30 finish, Monangai continues to be an intriguing buy-low candidate in dynasty leagues. He currently ranks #28 among running backs in RotoBaller's latest dynasty rankings, but there's no disputing that he has top-12 upside long-term.

New York Giants tight end Theo Johnson had a breakout campaign in 2025, catching 45 passes for 528 yards and five touchdowns. He finished Year 2 in the NFL as the overall TE18 in fantasy football (PPR), and he firmly established himself not only as the Giants' top tight end but also as one of Jaxson Dart's favorite targets. The bad news for Johnson is that he probably won't be Dart's top target in 2026. Malik Nabers (knee) is returning from a torn ACL, giving Dart a superstar receiver worthy of 175 targets. We also expect newcomers Calvin Austin III and Darnell Mooney to have decent roles in the passing game. Meanwhile, running backs Cam Skattebo (ankle) and Tyrone Tracy Jr. will handle their fair share of volume. Finally, Johnson faces competition within his own position group after tight end Isaiah Likely followed head coach John Harbaugh from Baltimore to New York. With so many mouths to feed, it's hard to imagine that Johnson will be able to fetch another 70+ targets and 40+ receptions in 2026. He is immensely talented, but the state of the offense will likely drop him to the low-end TE2 or high-end TE3 tier next year. He's a hold in most dynasty leagues, or a potential sell if you can find someone who still believes in his fantasy outlook long-term. Johnson has fallen to #34 among tight ends in RotoBaller's latest dynasty rankings.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown has solidified himself as one of the most talented and consistent players in dynasty fantasy football. He has finished as the overall WR3 for three consecutive seasons, catching 117 passes for 1,401 yards and 11 touchdowns in 2025. In addition to being consistent in terms of fantasy points, he has also been dependable health-wise. St. Brown hasn't missed a game since 2023, and in total, he has been sidelined just twice during his five-year career. The 26-year-old has shown that he, Jameson Williams, Jahmyr Gibbs, and Sam LaPorta can all co-exist in a high-octane Detroit offense. St. Brown continues to be a flashy target in dynasty trades. You won't be able to get him at a discount, but you can also rest assured that he'll continue to produce at an elite level once he's on your roster. He currently ranks #6 among wide receivers in RotoBaller's dynasty rankings, positioning him firmly in the second tier at his position.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy continues to be an unappealing option in dynasty fantasy football leagues. Worthy played in 14 games last season, amassing just 42 catches, 532 yards, and one receiving touchdown. He finished the year as the overall WR59, which was a significant step backward from his WR33 finish as a rookie in 2024. His rookie season showed that he's capable of being a top-36 fantasy receiver, but whether he'll actually be able to reproduce that type of campaign in the future remains uncertain. There was a perfect opportunity for Worthy to break out as Rashee Rice missed nine games due to suspension and injury, but the Texas product failed to live up to expectations. Going forward, there are rumblings that Rice may be suspended again. Worthy averaged 12.8 fantasy points (PPR) per game when he was healthy and Rice was suspended last year, but as soon as Rice came back, Worthy's fantasy production dwindled. The 22-year-old still projects as the No. 2 receiver in Kansas City long-term, and that's not good for his dynasty outlook. He currently ranks #50 among receivers in RotoBaller's latest dynasty rankings.

Following a breakout rookie campaign in 2024, Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels entered his second season surrounded by the oldest roster in the NFL. Perhaps unsurprisingly, injuries largely derailed Washington's 2025 season. With the Commanders now slated to pick seventh in the upcoming NFL Draft, they are in a prime position to add an offensive weapon to a unit in dire need of difference makers outside of Daniels and the 30-year-old Terry McLaurin. The team has been linked to Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love as well as some of the top receivers in the class, and should they add a skill position player with their first pick, Daniels will undoubtedly see his dynasty value spike.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow has missed time in all but one of his professional seasons and started at least 11 games only three times in his six-year career. When active and healthy, the 29-year-old former first overall pick is unquestionably one of the best quarterbacks in the league, leading the NFL in touchdown passes in 2024 after finishing second in 2022. In a fantasy landscape geared ever more toward rushing quarterbacks, he is one of the few pocket passers in the league who can reliably threaten a QB1 finish on the strength of passing yards and touchdowns. With the Bengals offense largely intact, healthy, and with nary a contract dispute on the horizon, Burrow's continuity with Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, and Chase Brown could have him in line for the first such finish of his career.

From RotoBaller

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Andrei Iosivas has scored 12 touchdowns in his three-year career, topping 430 receiving yards in each of the past two seasons. He's cracked double-digit fantasy points seven times in Half-PPR scoring formats, but only once was he able to string together two such consecutive games, coinciding with a 2024 Tee Higgins injury. The harsh reality for Iosivas is that he is stuck behind one of the best wide receiver duos in the league in Higgins and Ja'Marr Chase, and unless either is inactive, there simply aren't enough opportunities for him to carve out any sort of reliable role for fantasy managers. The obvious follow-up is that Higgins has missed 12 games over the past three seasons, so Iosivas still holds unique handcuff value in deeper leagues. More often than not, though, it has still been Chase who most benefits from the absence of his running mate.

Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright finished 2025 with 70 carries, trailing only De'Von Achane in Miami's running back room despite missing seven games. With the Dolphins clearing house on the offensive side of the ball and all but declaring 2026 to be a rebuilding year, running back would seem to be a low-priority position for them in the upcoming NFL Draft. Ollie Gordon II will have his own role in keeping Achane fresh, especially with Miami likely to face an influx of loaded boxes, but he was inefficient as a rookie, and Wright is more adept at handling some of the vacated targets in the passing game. While Miami's offense is unlikely to produce multiple fantasy contributors in 2026, Wright still maintains some dynasty value as the more direct handcuff to Achane.

Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears has missed nine games over the past two seasons and seen his carries and rushing yards drop year over year. Heading into the final season of his rookie contract, the former third-round pick might be facing a make-or-break situation. Unfortunately for Spears, the Titans have been heavily linked to Notre Dame prospect Jeremiyah Love in the upcoming NFL Draft, a selection that could result in little more than change-of-pace work for the fourth-year pro. Once expected to share close to a 50/50 split with veteran Tony Pollard, Spears has been out-touched by nearly a 2.5:1 ratio over the past two seasons, and should the Titans spend a top-four pick on the best running back in the draft, any hopes of a fantasy resurgence will likely be put to rest.

University of Nebraska running back Emmett Johnson was one of the more productive backs in the country as a junior in 2025, recording 1,821 yards from scrimmage and 15 touchdowns on 297 touches across 12 games. With 85 receptions over his last two collegiate seasons, Johnson can impact games as both a rusher and a receiver. The 22-year-old has a chance to hear his name called in the middle rounds of the upcoming 2026 NFL Draft. However, he's not considered to be a high-level athlete relative to other running back prospects, leading some to question whether he can work his way into a lead role in an NFL backfield. Johnson should be able to find a role in the pros due to his well-rounded skill set, but dynasty managers may want to take a conservative approach to projecting his upside. RotoBaller currently ranks Johnson as the 40th-best running back for dynasty formats.

A seventh-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Miami Dolphins running back Ollie Gordon II entered his rookie year as the primary backup to star Dolphins rusher De'Von Achane. Gordon II saw limited playing time over the course of the season, racking up 231 scrimmage yards and four touchdowns on 77 touches. He also ceded some opportunities down the stretch of the season to Miami back Jaylen Wright, who out-snapped Gordon II in three of the team's final six games. The Dolphins have made major organizational changes so far this offseason, replacing head coach Mike McDaniel, trading wide receiver Jaylen Waddle, and releasing quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. While the changes have led to speculation around a possible trade of Achane, Dolphins officials have been adamant in their stance that the team is looking to build around the young running back. As long as Achane is in Miami, Gordon II's dynasty upside is limited. However, he could be worth prioritizing as a priority handcuff option just in case the Dolphins do end up making additional moves.

Los Angeles Rams tight end Colby Parkinson had the best season of his career in 2025, recording 43 receptions for 408 yards and eight touchdowns on 56 targets across 15 games played. The 27-year-old had recorded just five touchdown grabs across five NFL seasons coming into the year, making his spike in end zone production particularly noteworthy. However, it may be difficult for Parkinson to repeat his breakout year in 2026. The Rams should get more production from veteran tight end Tyler Higbee, who missed seven games in 2025 due to an ankle injury. Los Angeles could also choose to funnel more playing time and targets towards second-year tight end Terrance Ferguson, whom they spent the 46th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft on. Given that Parkinson has still never reached the 60-target mark in a season going into his seventh year in the NFL, it seems wise to project a production regression in 2026. RotoBaller currently ranks Parkinson as the 50th-best tight end for dynasty formats.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice was suspended for the first six games of the 2025 season due to a 2024 hit-and-run incident that resulted in him pleading guilty to two felony charges. Across eight games after returning, the 25-year-old recorded 53 receptions for 571 yards and five touchdowns on 78 targets, missing additional time due to a concussion. While Rice is expected to be healthy heading into 2026, he may be facing yet another suspension due to an unresolved domestic violence lawsuit that was filed against him. When he's on the field, Rice remains a talented pass-catcher who should be a consistent fantasy producer, particularly in PPR formats. However, Rice's legal troubles are adding up, and his consistent issues with availability make him an unreliable player for managers to roster. In dynasty formats, Rice's current value is difficult to gauge while his status with the league office remains uncertain.

The number 22 overall selection in the 2025 NFL Draft, Los Angeles Chargers running back Omarion Hampton had his rookie season disrupted by ankle injuries that caused him to miss eight games. However, Hampton was productive when healthy, racking up 737 scrimmage yards and five touchdowns on 156 touches across nine contests. The Chargers made a big addition this offseason by bringing in former Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel as their new offensive coordinator. Under McDaniel, Miami ranked fourth in the NFL in yards per rush attempt, and he helped steward Dolphins running back De'Von Achane's emergence as a superstar. While Los Angeles signed former Baltimore Ravens running back Keaton Mitchell in free agency, Hampton still profiles as the team's clear RB1 and possesses a three-down skill set. RotoBaller ranks Hampton as the eighth-best running back for dynasty formats coming off his encouraging rookie year.

Dynasty | The Titans have signed running back Michael Carter. Dynasty Analysis: There were times with both the Jets and Cardinals where it seemed like Carter was going to be a relatively useful player in dynasty leagues but it just never has come together consistently. Carter will now look to make the Titans roster under Head Coach Robert Saleh, who he worked with in their time with the Jets. Carter could make the team but is miles away from relevance.

Dynasty | Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua has entered a treatment center. Dynasty Analysis: Details are hard to find at the moment but Nacua has had some issues this off-season that include both some antisemitic comments being made and an accusation of him biting a woman on New Year's Eve. This seems somewhat proactive for Nacua but it does raise some red flags here. While dynasty managers shouldn't overreact, it certainly bears watching as Nacua is one of the most valuable players in the game.

Dynasty | The Raiders have signed free agent quarterback Kirk Cousins. Dynasty Analysis: Cousins signed a five-year, $172 million deal to essentially mentor Fernando Mendoza. In reality, his contract is a one-year deal worth $20 million. It's quite likely we see Cousins at the helm on opening day and leading the Raiders until they're out of contention in 2026. New Coach Klint Kubiak has stated repeatedly he believes it's best for young quarterbacks to learn under a veteran mentor and it clearly looks like that's what Las Vegas is planning to do. This move will at least make Cousins a decent short-term option in 2QB leagues at the beginning of next season unless Mendoza somehow proves ready immediately.

Alabama wide receiver Germie Bernard has made stops at three different schools throughout his college career, and his varied usage has made him one of the more well-rounded receivers in a deep draft class. In 2023 at Washington, while sharing a room with three receivers who have since been drafted into the NFL, along with Denzel Boston from this year's class, Bernard was used almost exclusively from the slot. By his final season at Alabama, he was lined up on the boundary on nearly two-thirds of his snaps. His yards per route run and success rate remained relatively consistent regardless of usage, and he finished his collegiate career with over 30 carries, as his coaches have regularly schemed up ways to get the ball into his hands. The versatility Bernard has shown throughout his collegiate career could help him to find an early role in an NFL offense, and he may be one of the safer prospects from the muddled second or third tiers of the position.
