Ja'Marr Chase News

Ja'Marr Chase a True Dynasty Cornerstone

Tuesday, June 9, 6:42 AM

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase has finished as the WR5 or better in three of his first five seasons, only falling short when he missed four games in 2022 and when the team was without three-time Pro Bowl quarterback Joe Burrow for half of the 2023 season. Even at his worst, Chase has finished no lower than WR13, making him one of fantasy's most bust-proof players, evidenced by a mid-season run in 2025 that saw him targeted 53 times in a three-game stretch that all but saved Joe Flacco's career and helped land the 18-year veteran his first career Pro Bowl selection. With Flacco back in the fold as the Bengals' backup for 2026, dynasty managers can feel good about Chase's floor while never having to question his league-willing ceiling. At only 26 years old, Chase is RotoBaller's top-ranked player in single-quarterback dynasty formats and one of fantasy's safest players to build around.

Nico Collins Agrees to Contract Adjustment with Texans

Tuesday, May 26, 12:16 PM

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins has reached an agreement on an adjustment to his current contract with the team, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. Schefter reports that the adjustment will guarantee Collins' salary for the next two seasons and also includes $17 million in cash increases. While Collins was already under contract with Houston, this new agreement should help ensure that fantasy managers do not have to worry about any contract-related disputes that result in Collins holding out. The 27-year-old recorded 71 receptions for 1,117 yards and six touchdowns on 120 targets across 15 games in 2025 and has hauled in 21 touchdown receptions over the past three years with the Texans. As long as Collins stays healthy, he profiles as a low-end fantasy WR1 heading into 2026.
