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.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba News

Jaxon Smith-Njigba Firmly Entrenched in Top Tier of Dynasty Receivers

Tuesday, May 5, 7:31 AM

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba solidified himself among the top tier of fantasy football superstars during the 2025 campaign. In his third NFL regular season, Smith-Njigba exploded for 119 catches, 1,793 yards, and 10 touchdowns (all career-high marks). He was the WR2 in PPR leagues, ranking among the top 10 receivers for the second year in a row. As the 2026 season approaches, Smith-Njigba finds himself in Tier 1 in RotoBaller's latest dynasty fantasy football wide receiver rankings, but he hasn't yet claimed the overall WR1 spot. The latest rankings have Ja'Marr Chase first, Smith-Njigba second, and Puka Nacua third. It's a fair evaluation, especially since Chase's quarterback situation is far more appealing long-term than Smith-Njigba's. Still, it would surprise nobody if Smith-Njigba finished the 2026 season (or any season) as the overall WR1, especially given Joe Burrow's injury history in Cincinnati. All in all, Smith-Njigba is an undisputed top-three dynasty receiver, and any fantasy manager looking to acquire him will have to be comfortable parting with a hefty return package.
