Amon-Ra St. Brown Remains a Locked-in Dynasty Stud

Sunday, April 26, 12:36 PM

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown came into the 2026 offseason as one of the safest high-value assets in dynasty, and nothing the Lions have done in the team-building period of the year has put that status in doubt. Detroit signed Greg Dortch to a one-year deal to replace the departing Kalif Raymond and added Kentucky receiver Kendrick Law in the fifth round of the NFL Draft, meaning that, for all intents and purposes, the Lions will return the same receiver grouping of St. Brown, Jameson Williams, and Isaac TeSlaa. In 2025, with all three playing in 17 games, St. Brown earned a team-leading 31.3% target share en route to his third straight 1,400+ yard season and his third consecutive WR3 fantasy finish. He is currently RotoBaller's dynasty WR6, but at age 26, he may still be the most reliable receiver in the game.

Can Brian Thomas Jr. Rebound After Down Year in 2025?

Saturday, April 18, 10:44 AM

After recording nearly 1,300 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns as a rookie in 2024, Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. regressed in his second season. Across 14 games, the 23-year-old hauled in 48 receptions for 707 yards and two touchdowns on 91 targets. After looking like a no-doubt fantasy WR1 as a rookie, Thomas Jr.'s dynasty value is now an open question. However, Thomas Jr. battled wrist, shoulder, and ankle injuries throughout the year, which may have played a role in his subpar performance. The Jaguars also reportedly plan to play cornerback/wide receiver Travis Hunter (knee) more on the defensive side of the ball in 2026, which could open up a few more target opportunities for Thomas Jr. He comes with a significant amount of risk, but dynasty managers may never have a better buy-low window on Thomas Jr.
