Ja'Kobi Lane News
Friday, June 26, 8:12 AM
After recording 49 receptions for 745 yards and four touchdowns across 11 games in his final collegiate season at USC, wide receiver Ja'Kobi Lane was selected by the Baltimore Ravens in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Lane is one of two prominent rookie wideouts on the Baltimore roster, as the team also selected Elijah Sarratt in the fourth round. Entering his first NFL season, Lane should have a chance to emerge as an immediate contributor. Zay Flowers is Baltimore's clear WR1, but presumed WR2 Rashod Bateman is coming off a 2025 season in which he was both inconsistent and injured. With a new coaching staff in place, the Ravens could be looking to turn the page and go with their younger pass-catchers. Baltimore has typically been one of the NFL's run-heaviest offenses in the Lamar Jackson/Derrick Henry era, which could put a ceiling on Lane's fantasy production. Still, Lane has a clear pathway to a fantasy-relevant role in Baltimore and should be a target for dynasty managers who are focused on the long term.

Skyler Bell News
Saturday, June 27, 11:37 AM
After recording 101 catches for 1,278 yards and 13 touchdowns across 13 games in his final collegiate season at UConn, wide receiver Skyler Bell was selected in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft by the Buffalo Bills. Entering his rookie season, Bell will be part of a crowded wide receiver room in Buffalo and is not guaranteed to emerge as a regular contributor. However, outside of veteran DJ Moore and steady slot wideout Khalil Shakir, the Bills do not have any wideouts who are definitively ahead of Bell on the depth chart. With a strong showing in training camp and the preseason, Bell could establish himself as a favorite target of star Bills quarterback Josh Allen. As the 83rd wide receiver off the board by ADP, Bell is a sneaky sleeper for redraft fantasy managers to target.
