Amon-Ra St. Brown News
Wednesday, June 24, 10:03 AM
Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown continues to be quarterback Jared Goff's security blanket and "looks a little stronger and more explosive" as he heads into his sixth year in the league in 2026, according to Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official website. St. Brown proved difficult to cover for the team's defenders during a recent two-day minicamp. The 26-year-old former fourth-rounder in 2021 out of USC has led the league in catches (547) in the last five seasons and should continue to be an elite player for fantasy managers in 2026. St. Brown is the Lions' unquestioned WR1 and has made the Pro Bowl in four straight seasons. In 17 starts in 2025, he caught 117 passes (career-high 172 targets) for 1,401 yards and 11 touchdowns. St. Brown has had 100-plus receptions and over 1,000 receiving yards in each of the last four seasons, and he's scored double-digit touchdowns in each of the last three years in Detroit's improved offense. He will come off the board in the early rounds of fantasy drafts again this fall, and he's ranked as RotoBaller's No. 5 fantasy WR.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba News
Friday, June 12, 6:48 AM
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba emerged as a superstar in 2025, recording 119 receptions for 1,793 yards and 10 touchdowns on 163 targets across 17 games. The 24-year-old put together one of the most preposterously efficient pass-catching seasons in NFL history, averaging 3.61 yards per route run. Entering 2026, Smith-Njigba may face some standard regression to the mean from an efficiency perspective. However, the Seahawks were one of the most run-heavy teams in the NFL last season, finishing the year ranked 30th in pass rate. If Seattle is forced to turn to the air a bit more this upcoming season, a slight volume bump for Smith-Njigba could help make up for any drop-off in efficiency. Either way, Smith-Njigba is entering the prime of his career and appears poised to be one of the best wide receivers in fantasy football for the foreseeable future. In dynasty formats, he has a legitimate case to be valued as the number one overall wide receiver.
