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.

Zay Flowers News
Wednesday, June 24, 8:41 AM
Across 17 games in 2025, Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers recorded 86 receptions for 1,211 yards and five touchdowns on 118 targets. The 25-year-old was by far and away the number one wide receiver option in his team's passing game, as veteran wideout DeAndre Hopkins finished second among Ravens wideouts in targets with 39. In 2026, Flowers may no longer have such a dominant hold on the team's target share. Baltimore wide receiver Rashod Bateman should be healthier after missing four games in 2025, and the team also used mid-round picks in the 2026 draft on wide receivers Ja'Kobi Lane and Elijah Sarratt. While Flowers is an explosive threat with the ball in his hands, he's scored only 14 touchdowns across 50 career NFL games. If his target volume dips even marginally, it could be a major issue for his fantasy production. As the 16th wide receiver off the board by average draft position, Flowers may currently be overvalued in redraft formats.
