DeVonta Smith News
Thursday, June 25, 9:01 AM
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith has been a productive player since entering the NFL in 2021, averaging 77 catches for 1,003 yards and six touchdowns on 110 targets per season across the first five years of his career. While Smith has still provided fantasy value, his upside in recent seasons has been capped by the Eagles' run-heavy offense and his status as the team's WR2 behind A.J. Brown. Entering 2026, Smith could have a chance to take his production to a new level following the Eagles' trade of Brown to the New England Patriots. While Philadelphia used a first-round pick in the 2026 Draft on wideout Makai Lemon, Smith profiles as his team's clear WR1. The Eagles could also look to open up their offense a bit in 2026 under the stewardship of new play-caller Sean Mannion. For dynasty contenders, targeting Smith ahead of what could be a full-on superstar breakout could be a wise move.

Chris Olave News
Wednesday, June 24, 11:38 AM
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave said he would love to get something done on a contract extension before training camp this summer to "not affect team chemistry," according to Katherine Terrell of ESPN. Olave seemed optimistic during organized team activities that he and the team could get something worked out soon. The Saints have been in talks with the former first-rounder since last year about a new deal, and both sides have spoken positively of the situation. Although Olave wasn't a full participant in OTAs and minicamp as he recovered from a blood-clot issue that kept him out of Week 18 last year, he spent the offseason around the team's facility, which is a good sign. The 25-year-old wideout is expected to come off blood-thinners at the end of the month and should be a full-go for training camp at the end of July. In 16 starts in 2025 in his fourth year in the NFL, Olave meshed nicely with rookie quarterback Tyler Shough and finished with career highs in catches (100), targets (156), receiving yards (1,163), and touchdowns (nine). In head coach Kellen Moore's rising offense, Olave is a clear WR1 fantasy target with a stable floor.
