Deebo Samuel Sr. News
Friday, June 5, 1:00 PM
Veteran wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. was arguably his team's most consistent pass-catcher in his first season with the Washington Commanders in 2025, recording 72 catches for 727 yards and five touchdowns on 99 targets across 16 games. Samuel Sr. remained productive as a rusher as well, adding 75 yards and a score on 17 carries. However, the 30-year-old currently remains unsigned with just a few months until the 2026 regular season gets underway. Samuel Sr. has always been reliant on his ability to make plays after the catch, so teams may be wary of his body breaking down. At this point, Samuel Sr. seems ticketed for a complementary role and a short-term contract, leaving his NFL future very much in question. Still, Samuel Sr. remained a useful fantasy wide receiver in 2025 and could be capable of providing similar production in 2026. For win-now dynasty managers, Samuel Sr. may be worth buying low on before he finds a new team.

Tetairoa McMillan News
Tuesday, June 2, 5:45 PM
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan (foot) missed another OTA practice on Tuesday due to a foot injury that he's been dealing with, according to Joe Person of The Athletic. It's something to watch once training camp rolls around at the end of July, but the 23-year-old second-year pass-catcher's injury isn't believed to be serious and shouldn't cause him to be limited for the start of camp. The 23-year-old was the eighth overall pick by Carolina last year out of the University of Arizona, and he did not disappoint in his rookie campaign. McMillan led the Panthers in receiving and was easily quarterback Bryce Young's go-to target through the air, catching 70 of his 122 targets for 1,014 yards and seven touchdowns in 17 regular-season starts. He should continue to be a high-volume, big-play option for fantasy managers looking for a safe receiver in the early rounds of 2026 drafts. Right now, McMillan is ranked as the No. 16 fantasy WR for redraft leagues at RotoBaller.
