Amon-Ra St. Brown News
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.

Josh Downs News
Saturday, May 30, 5:02 PM
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs has been trending up in dynasty leagues. The 24-year-old receiver's dynasty stock has benefitted from the Colts' decision to trade Michael Pittman Jr., which should leave Downs in line to start alongside Alec Pierce. While Pierce projects as the Colts' top receiver after his big payday, Downs has the potential to carve out a fantasy-relevant role. This offense is good enough to support two fantasy-relevant receivers for several years to come, especially as long as Daniel Jones is under center. Downs has ranked between WR35 and WR44 in each of his three NFL seasons, but we wouldn't be surprised to see him take a big step forward and post the best fantasy finish of his career in 2026. Downs set a new career low in catches, yards, and fantasy points last year, softening his price tag in dynasty leagues. Managers should take advantage of this discount and send out trade offers for the UNC product before his potential Year 4 breakout.
