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.

Jayden Reed News
Friday, June 26, 10:15 AM
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed missed 10 games in 2025 due to collarbone and foot injuries, finishing the year with just 19 catches for 207 yards and a touchdown on 22 targets. Reed has been an efficient player when healthy in his career to date, recording over 1,900 scrimmage yards and 17 touchdowns across his first two seasons with the Packers in 2023 and 2024. However, he's struggled to see consistent target volume in the run-heavy Green Bay offense, averaging four targets per game since the start of 2024. That could change in 2026, as the Packers let wide receiver Romeo Doubs walk in free agency and traded wideout Dontayvion Wicks to the Philadelphia Eagles while signing Reed to a three-year extension this past offseason. Green Bay still has wide receivers Christian Watson and Matthew Golden, but Reed should play an important role as the team's primary slot receiver. Given the Packers' financial commitment to Reed, he could be a worthy buy-low target for dynasty managers entering 2026.
