Emeka Egbuka News
Sunday, May 31, 11:09 AM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Emeka Egbuka burst onto the scene as a rookie in 2025, recording 63 receptions for 938 yards and six touchdowns on 127 targets across 17 games. The 23-year-old's production slowed down a bit in the second half of the season, as he failed to record a touchdown reception after Week 9 and topped 60 receiving yards just once over his final eight games played. However, Egbuka profiles as the number one target in the Bucs' passing game entering 2026 following the offseason departure of star wideout Mike Evans in free agency. He will also get a chance to play more on the inside, which should allow him to improve on his subpar 49.6% catch rate. If Egbuka's slow finish to 2025 creates a dip in his value, dynasty managers should pounce on the opportunity to buy low on him heading into his second NFL season.

Jayden Higgins News
Monday, June 8, 5:25 AM
Houston Texans wide receiver Jayden Higgins has reportedly been standing out during the team's organized team activities and is a player to watch as the Texans move into the next phase of the offseason program. The 2025 second-round pick drew the praise of head coach Demeco Ryans for the improvements he's made since his rookie season, while team reporter Aaron Wilson wrote that he's "displaying signs that he could be poised for a breakout", with both commending his increased strength and play speed. Ryans went so far as to say, "He's going to have a great year. Can't wait to see it." Higgins finished his rookie season with 525 yards and six touchdowns on 42 receptions, playing some of his best ball down the stretch and through two postseason games, and at RotoBaller's WR55, he could become a steal in the late rounds of 2026 redraft leagues.
