Ja'Marr Chase Still a Top Fantasy Receiver for 2026 and Beyond

Sunday, February 22, 4:21 AM

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase had another strong season in 2025. While he wasn't able to replicate his WR1 finish from 2024, he still had a big year with 125 catches, 1,412 yards, and eight touchdowns across 16 games. He was the WR4 in PPR leagues, extending his streak to five consecutive finishes within the top 12. It was impressive to see Chase thrive even without Joe Burrow throwing him passes for the whole season. He spent plenty of games with Joe Flacco and Jake Browning, which limited his upside on a week-by-week basis. That partial-season quarterback downgrade is likely why Chase only scored eight touchdowns, relative to his 17 from the year before. Burrow's health is never a guarantee, but if the quarterback can stay healthy for most of 2026, Chase and fellow receiver Tee Higgins should both benefit. He's still a top-three receiver with overall WR1 upside in both redraft and dynasty leagues. If there's ever a time to get him at a slight discount in dynasty trades, it might be now.

Keon Coleman Enters 2026 with an Unknown Role in Buffalo

Friday, February 27, 5:12 PM

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman is coming off a deflating sophomore season after being a trendy sleeper during fantasy drafts. Coleman finished the season with 38 catches for 404 receiving yards with four touchdowns on 59 targets. The 22-year-old was a healthy scratch during multiple games in 2025 due to disciplinary reasons and maturity issues. Coleman took the brunt of an ugly breakout between the Bills organization and former head coach Sean McDermott by receiving public criticism. However, newly hired head coach Joe Brady claimed that his hiring is the "best thing" that could have happened for Coleman. With the lack of a clear WR1 in Buffalo and support from his new head coach, Coleman has a glimpse of hope to save his career in Buffalo. Coleman will remain a late-round dart throw in dynasty leagues with mysterious upside.
