Christian Kirk News
Monday, April 27, 9:27 AM
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Christian Kirk enters 2026 coming off the least productive season of his NFL career. Across 13 games with the Houston Texans in 2025, Kirk recorded 28 receptions for 239 yards and a touchdown on 52 targets. Kirk was definitely better in the playoffs, hauling in 10 catches for 164 yards and two scores on 15 targets across Houston's two postseason contests. Still, Kirk has now recorded fewer than 30 receptions in back-to-back seasons and has also missed 18 games over the past three years due to injury. In San Francisco, Kirk currently profiles as the team's WR3 alongside Mike Evans and Ricky Pearsall. However, the 49ers used a second-round pick on Ole Miss wideout De'Zhaun Stribling in the 2026 Draft, which could complicate Kirk's role at some point in the 2026 season. Kirk may still have a role on deeper dynasty rosters as a veteran depth piece, but his upside is limited as he enters his age-30 season.

Cedric Tillman News
Tuesday, May 5, 8:26 AM
The Cleveland Browns added rookie wide receivers KC Concepcion and Denzel Boston in the 2026 NFL draft, which makes The Athletic's Zac Jackson wonder if the team will eventually look to trade Cedric Tillman this summer. In addition to adding younger competition, the Browns are installing a new offense under head coach Todd Monken. Jackson lists Jerry Jeudy and Concepcion in the top tier of Browns wideouts, followed by Boston and Isaiah Bond in Tier 2. In Tier 3, he lists Tylan Wallace, Malachi Corley, Tillman, and Jamari Thrash. The Browns are hoping that Bond can take the next step with a full offseason, and Boston is a true outside receiver like Tillman. The Browns' major commitments are to Jeudy and the two rookies, which means, as of right now, Tillman might be the WR5 in Cleveland. The fact that Tillman doesn't contribute on special teams hurts his cause even more. The 26-year-old former third-rounder in 2023 out of Tennessee is entering the final season of his rookie deal and is coming off a season in which he caught just 21 passes for 270 yards and two touchdowns in 13 games. Tillman has failed to get going in his three NFL seasons, making him a cut candidate in dynasty leagues if he stays with the Browns.
