Chris Brazzell II's Dynasty Stock Rising Entering 2026

Friday, June 26, 8:21 AM

A third-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, Carolina Panthers rookie wide receiver Chris Brazzell II could have a chance to carve out an immediate role with his new team. Across 12 games for the University of Tennessee in 2025, Brazzell II recorded 62 catches for 1,017 yards and nine touchdowns. The Panthers have Tetairoa McMillan locked in as their WR1 on the outside, and the team recently committed to slot wideout Jalen Coker with a multi-year contract extension. However, Brazzell II may enter training camp in a job battle with third-year Panthers wide receiver Xavier Legette for the team's WR3 role. Legette has largely been a disappointment since being selected by Carolina in the first round of the 2024 draft, failing to reach 50 catches or 500 receiving yards in either of his first two NFL seasons. With a strong summer, Brazzell II could establish himself as a building block in the Panthers passing game. Entering 2026, Brazzell II ranks as RotoBaller's dynasty WR67.

Elijah Sarratt Needs Camp Buzz Before Redraft Appeal

Wednesday, July 8, 11:18 AM

Baltimore Ravens rookie wide receiver Elijah Sarratt has enough dynasty appeal to keep stashed, but his redraft case still needs help. The fourth-round rookie brings a real college resume after catching 65 passes for 830 yards and an FBS-leading 15 touchdowns at Indiana last season, and Baltimore's own draft coverage has pointed to his size, contested-catch ability, and possible red-zone usefulness. That matters in a Ravens offense that could use more big targets after adding Sarratt and third-rounder Ja'Kobi Lane. The problem is that Sarratt is not walking into a clean role. Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman sit atop the depth chart, Devontez Walker has been framed as the current favorite for No. 3 receiver work, and Lane was drafted a round earlier. RotoBaller's board also has Sarratt outside the top 240 overall and around WR99, with no listed ADP. He is a good taxi-squad stash and late rookie-draft swing, but redraft managers can leave him alone unless August reports point to a real offensive role.
