DeVonta Smith News
Tuesday, June 2, 5:25 AM
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith has seen his dynasty cost rise throughout the offseason as rumors of an A.J. Brown trade grew louder and more credible. With the deal finally becoming official on Monday, and Brown heading to New England for a 2028 first-round pick and a 2027 fifth-rounder, Smith steps into a role at the top of the depth chart in which he's thrived with limited opportunities. In three of the four games Smith has appeared in without Brown over the past two seasons, he's earned at least a 29% target share. A limited snap count in last season's finale is all that kept him from going four out of four, but his extrapolated full-season pace across those four contests is 98 receptions for 1,237 yards, legitimate WR1 numbers. Obviously, the trade was not made in a vacuum, as the Eagles planned for this moment by signing Hollywood Brown, trading for Dontayvion Wicks, and drafting Makai Lemon and tight end Eli Stowers, but Smith should be the most significant benefactor of Brown's absence, as he has been in a small but impressive sampling. Smith is RotoBaller's dynasty WR27, but that ranking could continue to rise as the season draws closer.

Travis Hunter News
Tuesday, June 9, 9:43 AM
Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Liam Coen said that he's "extremely pleased" with where wide receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter (knee) is at "both mentally and physically" this offseason, according to 1010 XL/92.5 FM. However, Coen also said he doesn't know when Hunter will be "full-go" during offseason workouts after the 23-year-old former Heisman Trophy winner tore the LCL in his knee in late October of his rookie season in 2025. Hunter has "looked good" and has added muscle mass to his body as he prepares for Year 2 in the NFL. Coen said there's "no question he has gotten stronger." The former second overall pick last year out of the University of Colorado is missing out on live reps on the field this offseason, but he's working extremely hard elsewhere, and the Jags plan to continue to use him as a two-way player in 2026. The problem for fantasy managers is that Jacksonville plans to use the two-way star more as a defensive back this year, and with the Jags already stacked at WR with Jakobi Meyers, Brian Thomas Jr., and Parker Washington, it could be an uphill battle for Hunter to contribute every week as a pass-catcher. Hunter caught 28 of his 45 targets for 298 yards and one touchdown in seven games in 2025, and he has fallen to No. 73 in RotoBaller's WR rankings in redraft formats this year.
