David Njoku News
Thursday, July 16, 5:51 AM
With Los Angeles Chargers veterans reporting for training camp on July 28, one of the most interesting position battles to pay attention to will be at tight end, after the late free agent signing of 10th-year professional David Njoku helped to make theirs one of the more well-rounded tight end rooms in the league. The Chargers return 2025 fifth-round pick Oronde Gadsden II after he reached some historic highs as a rookie, and the team made an early commitment to free agent Charlie Kolar, one of the best blocking tight ends in the league. It was the addition of Njoku in mid-May, though, that brought true multi-functionality to the room in Mike McDaniel's new offense. A first-round pick in 2017, Njoku had fallen clearly behind rookie Harold Fannin Jr. in his final season with the Browns, but given a fresh start with one of the most creative playcallers in the league, he could again find sporadic fantasy relevance in 2026. At RotoBaller's TE32, he is not a player worth targeting in redraft leagues, but he is a low-cost depth piece for contending dynasty managers and is worthy of the occasional late-round swing in best ball drafts.

Courtland Sutton News
Friday, July 10, 4:37 PM
DenverBroncos.com's Susanna Weir suggests that Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton, who has logged back-to-back seasons with over 1,000 receiving yards, could "benefit from more one-on-one matchups after the offseason acquisition of receiver Jaylen Waddle. "Courtland is an elite playmaker, so anytime you have a playmaker on the other side of you, it just makes it easy," Waddle said. "It's someone that the defense has to be looking for, and vice versa." The 30-year-old former second-rounder in 2018 out of SMU was a Pro Bowler for the second time in 2025 after finishing with 74 receptions on 124 targets for 1,017 yards and seven touchdowns in 17 regular-season games. Sutton has three 1,000-yard campaigns in his career and has found the end zone 25 times in the last three years. But that was as Denver's clear alpha and No. 1 wideout. He could be more of the 1B to Waddle's 1A in 2026, and although the Broncos' offense was extremely pass-happy in 2025, that could be changing a bit in Sutton's ninth year in the league. Waddle's presence will certainly give Sutton more one-on-one looks on the outside, but the reality is that his fantasy stock is down with serious target competition coming. RotoBaller has Sutton ranked as a low-end WR3/high-end WR4.
