Chris Godwin Jr. News
Sunday, April 26, 5:15 AM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin Jr. is coming off a year in which he saw career lows in receptions, yards, and yards per route run, while his two receiving touchdowns were the lowest since his rookie season. However, he is now 18 months removed from the gruesome lower leg injury that ended his 2024 season and limited him at times throughout 2025. Prior to the injury, he was the fantasy WR2 through the first seven weeks of his age-28 season. Now 30, any fears that he may be slowing down did not show up in the Buccaneers' offseason approach. The team allowed Mike Evans to depart in free agency and spent only a late Day 2 pick on the receiver position, adding Georgia State's Ted Hurst in the middle of the third round. Hurst will likely compete with Jalen McMillan for Evans' vacated snaps on the boundary, while Godwin and Emeka Egbuka offer versatility across the formation and should be the team's most consistent target-earners in 2026. At RotoBaller's dynasty WR49, Godwin is a low-cost buy for competing managers.

Ja'Marr Chase News
Friday, May 1, 1:02 PM
Five years into his NFL career, Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase is well-established as arguably the best pass-catcher in football. The 26-year-old is coming off another highly productive season in 2025, hauling in 125 receptions for 1,412 yards and eight touchdowns on 185 targets across 16 games. While Chase wasn't able to replicate his 1,700-yard, 17-touchdown season from 2024, he still led the NFL in targets and put up monster numbers despite playing nine games with star Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow, who missed time due to a toe injury. With Burrow fully healthy, Chase has a case to be valued as the WR1 in fantasy for the 2026 season. Even if Burrow suffers another injury, Chase has proven the ability to be an elite producer, particularly in PPR-scoring formats. Coming off back-to-back first-team All-Pro seasons, Chase might currently profile as the highest-floor and highest-ceiling dynasty wide receiver in fantasy football.
