George Pickens News
Wednesday, April 29, 6:44 PM
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens signed the franchise tag on Wednesday, a source told Todd Archer of ESPN. Pickens will be guaranteed $27.3 million while playing for the Cowboys in 2026, but the organization has already said they won't sign the 25-year-old to a long-term extension before the July 15 deadline. Even though Pickens signed the franchise tag, he's expected to hold out during training camp this summer, and the Cowboys could decide to trade him for premium draft capital in 2027. If Pickens says in Dallas for the 2026 campaign, Dallas will have one of the league's top one-two punches at WR again with Pickens and CeeDee Lamb. Pickens led the Cowboys in receiving in 2025 in what was a career year, catching 93 of his 137 targets for 1,429 yards and nine touchdowns in 17 games played. He was the WR5 in half-PPR scoring, and as long as he stays in Dallas for the upcoming season, Pickens is going to be a pricey WR1 early in fantasy drafts later this year.

Rome Odunze News
Monday, May 4, 5:14 AM
Throughout his first two years in the league, Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze has shown moments that justify his selection as the ninth overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, but inconsistency and a loaded depth chart have hurt his placement in dynasty rankings. By the end of the 2025 season, four Bears players were reliably earning targets, but with Chicago trading away veteran DJ Moore, the 2026 passing offense is expected to be condensed through Odunze and second-year players Luther Burden III and Colston Loveland. Odunze missed five games but led all Bears pass catchers with 10.7 fantasy points per game despite seeing the most off-target throws on the team. When things are clicking between Odunze and Caleb Williams, as they were through the first four weeks of the season, the 6'3", 214-pound receiver can be a game-changer. With Williams expected to take another step forward in Ben Johnson's offense, Odunze, currently RotoBaller's dynasty WR23, could see his stock rise significantly.
