Isaac TeSlaa News

Isaac TeSlaa Emerging as a Late-Round Redraft Sleeper

Sunday, July 12, 10:29 AM

The Detroit Lions wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa did not see much of the ball as a rookie, but he made his limited chances count. Six of his 16 catches went for touchdowns, and Detroit started leaning on him more late in the year. TeSlaa caught 12 passes for 174 yards and four scores from Weeks 13 through 18 after opening the season as the fourth receiver. He now enters camp behind Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams, with Dan Campbell saying the coaching staff grew more comfortable with him as 2025 went along. The 6-foot-4, 214-pound wideout also drew praise for his work this spring. Targets will be the issue. St. Brown, Williams, Sam LaPorta, and Jahmyr Gibbs are all going to be featured, and TeSlaa will not keep scoring on nearly a quarter of his opportunities. Detroit does expect his role to grow in Drew Petzing's offense, though. With TeSlaa sitting at WR70 in RotoBaller's rankings and carrying an ADP of 255, he is a cheap swing on size, red-zone work, and a possible second-year jump.

Germie Bernard News

Germie Bernard a Top Target for Dynasty Rebuilders

Thursday, June 25, 8:42 AM

Pittsburgh Steelers rookie wide receiver Germie Bernard showed off an intriguing fantasy skill set in his final collegiate season in 2025. Across 14 games for the University of Alabama, Bernard recorded 64 catches for 862 yards and seven touchdowns while rushing for 101 yards and two scores on 18 carries. Entering 2026, Bernard may be competing with fellow rookie wideout Kaden Wetjen to be Pittsburgh's primary slot receiver. The Steelers have two veteran wideouts in DK Metcalf and Michael Pittman Jr. who will likely command the majority of the team's targets, which may limit Bernard's short-term fantasy upside. Still, Bernard's ability to affect the game as both a rusher and a receiver gives him plenty of long-term upside. For rebuilding dynasty managers, Bernard profiles as a logical target in rookie drafts.
