Darius Slayton News
Monday, July 20, 5:59 PM
New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton has seen his role in the offense drop in recent years. Over the last two seasons, Slayton has finished with fewer than 600 receiving yards both years. During that span, Slayton has scored a total of three touchdowns, which is fewer than in his 2023 campaign. The expectation was that Slayton would have a larger role once Malik Nabers (knee) went down, but that didn't really happen. Now, Nabers is expected to return at some point this season, and the Giants have added reinforcements. They've signed Darnell Mooney, Calvin Austin III, and Odell Beckham Jr. this offseason. The Giants also drafted Malachi Field in the third-round of this year's draft. There's becoming too many bodies in New York and not enough targets for everyone. The 29-year-old may get lost in the shuffle with all the new weapons for Jaxson Dart in 2026.

Caleb Douglas News
Sunday, July 26, 7:00 AM
The Miami Dolphins spent five 2026 draft picks on offensive skill position players, and despite being the first of that group selected, third-round rookie wide receiver Caleb Douglas has flown well beneath the fantasy radar to this point, even in what projects to be a wide-open receiver room. With Dolphins rookies having already reported for training camp, national NFL reporter Cameron Wolfe believes Douglas could earn a starting role and become a necessary target for quarterback Malik Willis in an offense in search of playmakers outside of running back De'Von Achane. A more heralded third-round pick, fellow rookie Chris Bell is beginning the year on the non-football injury list as he continues to recover from a torn ACL suffered in November, while none of the veteran receivers on the roster has a 50-catch NFL campaign under their belt. With one of the lowest projected scoring offenses in the league, it's entirely possible that none of Miami's receivers rise to fantasy prominence in 2026, but at RotoBaller's WR107, Douglas has an obvious path to outperforming expectations as a rookie.
