Hollywood Brown a Dynasty Fade in New-Look Eagles Receiver Room

Friday, June 5, 5:54 AM

When the Philadelphia Eagles signed veteran wide receiver Hollywood Brown to a one-year deal in Mid-March, it was the first of several steps taken to prepare for life without three-time Pro Bowler A.J. Brown. The team has since traded for Dontayvion Wicks and has spent first and second-round picks on Makai Lemon and tight end Eli Stowers. With the latter Brown being dealt to New England on June 1st, incumbents DeVonta Smith and Dallas Goedert are the last remaining pillars of a receiving core that prepares to play under its fifth offensive coordinator in as many seasons. Himself no stranger to change, the Eagles mark Hollywood Brown's fourth team in six years, but unable to top a WR45 fantasy finish at either of his last two stops, it's unlikely he takes a significant step forward in his new environment. With Smith and Lemon projected to lead the team in targets, Brown could be dealing with a limited workload in what still projects to be a run-first offense, and at 29 years old, he has fallen to RotoBaller's dynasty WR104.

Rashod Bateman Unlikely to See a Dynasty Revival in New-Look Offense

Thursday, June 11, 5:48 AM

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman has had a disappointing early career since being drafted in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft. While missing four games in 2025, he still saw the second-most playing time of all Ravens receivers, but he was unable to follow up on his career-high 756 receiving yards from the previous season, and he's yet to top the 46 receptions of his rookie campaign. His 2024 season also looks to be an outlier from a touchdown perspective, as his nine scores that year mark the only instance of him finding the end zone more than twice. With Baltimore welcoming in an entirely new coaching staff and spending third and fourth-round picks on receivers Ja'Kobi Lane and Elijah Sarratt, while subsequently saying goodbye to tight ends Isaiah Likely and Charlie Kolar, the Ravens offense could look entirely different in 2026, and Bateman's role is far from secured. Under contract through his age-30 season, Bateman's prospects of a fantasy-relevant breakout are looking bleak, and the sixth-year veteran has fallen to RotoBaller's dynasty WR112.
