Dont'e Thornton Jr. News
Friday, June 19, 6:02 PM
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Dont'e Thornton Jr. was unable to find much success this past season. To be fair, the Raiders' offense was horrible as a unit, but Thornton barely showed up on the stat sheet. He finished the season with 10 receptions for 135 receiving yards and zero touchdowns in 13 games. The 24-year-old might've missed his opportunity with the Raiders adding some reinforcements this offseason. They signed Jalen Nailor and Dareke Young in free agency, while adding Malik Benson in the sixth round of this year's draft. Thornton could fall to fourth on the depth chart, which is not a good spot, given Brock Bowers eats a ton of targets at tight end as well. He's young enough to hold onto in dynasty leagues, but Thornton having a consistent role in 2026 seems unlikely.

Cyrus Allen News
Saturday, April 25, 12:10 PM
The Kansas City Chiefs have selected Cincinnati wide receiver Cyrus Allen with the 176th overall pick in the fifth round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Allen began his collegiate career at Louisiana Tech before transferring to Texas A&M and then to Cincinnati. In his lone season with the Bearcats, he led the team with 49 receptions, 661 yards, and 12 touchdowns. Allen is an undersized slot receiver who wins with quickness, and he was one of the standouts at this year's Senior Bowl. In Kansas City, he joins a receiver room with a lot of overlapping skillsets, which could make it hard for him to find the field in any meaningful way as a rookie.
