Garrett Wilson News
Friday, July 17, 12:27 PM
New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson had his 2025 season ruined by a season-ending knee injury that limited him to just seven games played. However, the 25-year-old is healthy heading into 2026 and remained a productive player when on the field last season, finishing the year with 36 catches for 395 yards and four touchdowns on 59 targets. The Jets added some talent to their pass-catching corps in the 2026 NFL Draft, using first-round picks on tight end Kenyon Sadiq and Omar Cooper Jr. Still, Wilson is by far the most established option in New York's passing game and has a chance to average over nine targets per game for the third time in the last four seasons in 2026. The offensive ecosystem around Wilson with the Jets is definitely a concern, but New York should at least have more competent quarterback play after adding Geno Smith in free agency. In dynasty formats, managers may want to explore buying low on Wilson ahead of the 2026 season.

Puka Nacua News
Wednesday, July 29, 4:22 PM
The NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that we should not expect the Los Angeles Rams to agree to a long-term contract extension with star wide receiver Puka Nacua before the start of the 2026 regular season. Nacua has one more year left on his rookie deal, and the Rams have already spent a lot of money in a lot of different places. Additionally, the Rams would like to see how Nacua has matured after very questionable off-the-field and public decisions were made that didn't put the star pass-catcher in a good light in 2025. The 25-year-old former fifth-rounder in 2023 from BYU has already taken steps to improve his decision-making, including going to therapy, as he seeks an expected lucrative extension next offseason. The two-time Pro Bowler has quickly become one of the best, if not the best, receivers in his three years in the NFL, catching 313 passes for 4,191 yards and 19 touchdowns in 44 regular-season games. Contract and off-the-field issues aside, Nacua should be considered the unquestioned top fantasy WR in 2026 drafts.
