Davante Adams News
Friday, May 29, 12:40 PM
Across 14 games in 2025, Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams recorded 60 receptions for 789 yards and 14 touchdowns on 114 targets. Adams developed immediate red zone chemistry in his first season with Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, leading the NFL in touchdown catches despite missing three games with a hamstring injury. However, Adams failed to reach 1,000 receiving yards in a season for the first time since 2019 and is blocked from being the number one option in his team's passing game by the presence of Rams wideout Puka Nacua. While Los Angeles projects to once again have a prolific passing offense, any slippage from the team's aerial attack may make it difficult for Adams to buoy his production with touchdowns in 2026. As Adams enters his age-34 season, dynasty managers may be wise to cash in on his value with a sell-high trade.

Michael Pittman Jr. News
Sunday, April 19, 7:59 AM
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. will get a fresh start in 2026 following an offseason trade. Dealt from the Colts to the Steelers, Pittman will slot in as a starting wide receiver opposite DK Metcalf next year. He offers a major upgrade for the Steelers, who endured a rough season of Calvin Austin III as their No. 2 receiver last year. Pittman was impressive when quarterback Daniel Jones (Achilles) was healthy, averaging 11.4 fantasy points per game (half-PPR) and ranking as the overall WR8. However, his production took a hit when Jones was ruled out for the season. Therein lies the biggest question mark for Pittman in 2026. We still don't know who his quarterback will be in Pittsburgh. An Aaron Rodgers return seems probable, but nothing is imminent. Assuming Rodgers does return to the Steelers, he could support top-25 finishes from both Metcalf and Pittman. We're encouraged by Pittman's new opportunity, as the Steelers' decision to trade for him shows how much they want to get him involved on offense. He currently ranks as the WR52 in RotoBaller's dynasty rankings, so managers who have higher expectations could opt to buy low on Pittman this offseason.
