Ja'Marr Chase News
Wednesday, April 8, 1:26 AM
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase had a terrific season in 2025 from a fantasy football perspective, ranking as the overall WR4 with 125 catches, 1,412 yards, and eight touchdowns. It was a step back from his overall WR1 finish in 2024, but at least he can still say that he was a top-12 fantasy receiver through each of his first five seasons in the NFL. What made Chase's 2025 stats even more impressive was the fact that he spent more than half of his games without Joe Burrow, instead catching passes from Jake Browning and Joe Flacco. If Browning and Flacco can support a top-five finish, then Burrow will certainly have no trouble doing it, too. The 29-year-old quarterback is healthy once again, which bodes well for Chase's potential to reclaim his spot as the top-scoring receiver in fantasy football.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba News
Saturday, April 11, 9:05 PM
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba took another substantial step forward in 2025, catching 119 of his 163 targets for 1,793 yards and 10 touchdowns. He set new career-highs in all four categories, and he also had the best fantasy finish of his young career, ranking as the overall WR2 in PPR leagues. He and Puka Nacua were neck-and-neck in the race for the WR1 title, with the Rams' receiver ultimately edging out Smith-Njigba by 16.1 fantasy points. Smith-Njigba has certainly lived up to his hype as a former first-round pick, and he has shown that he can produce regardless of which quarterback is throwing him passes. With that said, he'll certainly appreciate the consistency the Seahawks have at the quarterback position for now, with Sam Darnold under contract through 2027. At just 24 years old, Smith-Njigba's youth, productivity, and role in a high-powered offense make him an elite fantasy football option. But is he the best of the best? As it stands, Smith-Njigba ranks #2 among wide receivers in RotoBaller's latest dynasty fantasy football rankings. He's in the top tier, but he ranks one spot behind Ja'Marr Chase and one spot ahead of Nacua.
