A.J. Brown News
Sunday, June 28, 11:28 AM
After spending the last four seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles, veteran wide receiver A.J. Brown is entering his first campaign with the New England Patriots in 2026. Across 15 games with Philadelphia in 2025, Brown recorded 78 receptions for 1,003 yards and seven touchdowns on 121 targets, finishing as the WR11 in per-game PPR scoring. Brown's target volume in the Eagles' run-heavy offense was a point of discussion all year long, as the wideout publicly agitated for more opportunities at multiple points throughout the season. While Brown profiles as the clear number one option in the Patriots' passing game, New England was also a run-heavy offense in 2025, ranking 25th in the NFL in pass rate. Brown is also entering his age-29 season and has had durability issues in recent years, missing six games over the last two seasons due to knee and hamstring issues. While Brown should be a productive player for fantasy managers in 2026, he may be slightly overvalued as the WR8 by current average draft position.

Chris Olave News
Wednesday, June 24, 11:38 AM
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave said he would love to get something done on a contract extension before training camp this summer to "not affect team chemistry," according to Katherine Terrell of ESPN. Olave seemed optimistic during organized team activities that he and the team could get something worked out soon. The Saints have been in talks with the former first-rounder since last year about a new deal, and both sides have spoken positively of the situation. Although Olave wasn't a full participant in OTAs and minicamp as he recovered from a blood-clot issue that kept him out of Week 18 last year, he spent the offseason around the team's facility, which is a good sign. The 25-year-old wideout is expected to come off blood-thinners at the end of the month and should be a full-go for training camp at the end of July. In 16 starts in 2025 in his fourth year in the NFL, Olave meshed nicely with rookie quarterback Tyler Shough and finished with career highs in catches (100), targets (156), receiving yards (1,163), and touchdowns (nine). In head coach Kellen Moore's rising offense, Olave is a clear WR1 fantasy target with a stable floor.
