Davante Adams News
Tuesday, June 23, 6:00 AM
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams scored nine of his league-leading 14 receiving touchdowns from within the five-yard line, and while that makes him an obvious regression candidate for 2026, his 42 career scores from within that same range are the most of any player since 2000. It is not by chance that Adams ranks seventh on the all-time receiving touchdown list. His legendarily quick release package and encyclopedic knowledge of defensive back tendencies have made him one of the most unguardable players in the red zone for most of his career, and even if he's begun to show signs of decline between the 20s, he is still as safe a bet as any to lead the league in scoring grabs again. Touchdowns have long been one of the least predictable elements of fantasy football, but the 33-year-old Adams has 12 seasons of history on his side, and at RotoBaller's WR15, he remains one of the highest upside plays from outside the opening rounds of 2026 drafts.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba News
Friday, June 12, 6:48 AM
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba emerged as a superstar in 2025, recording 119 receptions for 1,793 yards and 10 touchdowns on 163 targets across 17 games. The 24-year-old put together one of the most preposterously efficient pass-catching seasons in NFL history, averaging 3.61 yards per route run. Entering 2026, Smith-Njigba may face some standard regression to the mean from an efficiency perspective. However, the Seahawks were one of the most run-heavy teams in the NFL last season, finishing the year ranked 30th in pass rate. If Seattle is forced to turn to the air a bit more this upcoming season, a slight volume bump for Smith-Njigba could help make up for any drop-off in efficiency. Either way, Smith-Njigba is entering the prime of his career and appears poised to be one of the best wide receivers in fantasy football for the foreseeable future. In dynasty formats, he has a legitimate case to be valued as the number one overall wide receiver.
