Deebo Samuel Sr. News
Monday, June 29, 12:58 PM
With the start of NFL training camps rapidly approaching, veteran wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. remains without a home for the 2026 season. Across 16 games for the Washington Commanders in 2025, Samuel Sr. recorded 72 catches for 727 yards and five touchdowns on 99 targets. The 30-year-old also provided modest production as a rusher, collecting 75 yards and a score on 17 carries. Samuel Sr. is not the same explosive player he once was at his peak. Still, he was a reasonably productive player last season who should presumably have a job in 2026 if he wants to keep playing. Samuel Sr. finished as the WR34 by per-game PPR scoring in 2025, but he's currently coming off the board as the WR64 by redraft ADP. Even with age-related regression and role uncertainty baked in, Samuel Sr. has a solid chance to outperform his current ADP in 2026.

Puka Nacua News
Tuesday, June 23, 8:08 AM
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua has run into some off-field troubles in recent months, checking into a rehab facility in April while simultaneously fighting a civil lawsuit in which a woman alleged gender violence, assault, and battery. However, Nacua is not expected to face discipline from the NFL that would result in missed games in 2026. As long as he's on the field, there's zero question about the 25-year-old's ability to produce at a high level. Across 16 games in 2025, Nacua recorded 129 catches for 1,715 yards and 10 touchdowns on 166 targets. 44 games into his NFL career, Nacua is the league's all-time leader in receiving yards per game (95.3). While his off-field questions add some risk to his long-term dynasty outlook, Nacua has number one overall wide receiver upside. He should be viewed as an elite dynasty asset entering 2026.
