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.

Rhamondre Stevenson News
Sunday, April 19, 7:52 AM
New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson's perception in dynasty fantasy football leagues has declined, creating an opportunity for managers to buy low on a weekly RB3/flex option. Stevenson saw his role change during the second half of the 2025 season as rookie TreVeyon Henderson broke out. Still, the Patriots went run-heavy for most of the year, so Stevenson maintained a fantasy-relevant role alongside the rookie. In fact, over his final five games of the season, he averaged 63.8 rushing yards, 34.2 receiving yards, 1.2 touchdowns, and 20.0 fantasy points in full-PPR leagues per game. We expect Henderson to be the primary ball-carrier in 2026, but Stevenson should remain a heavily involved part of the offense, enough to justify deploying him as an RB3/flex every week. That's where there's value for fantasy managers; Stevenson has top-36 appeal every week, but he has fallen to RB46 in RotoBaller's latest dynasty fantasy football rankings. At 28 years old, Stevenson still has plenty of good football ahead of him. He's an appealing dynasty trade target this offseason.
