Ja'Marr Chase News
Friday, July 24, 11:28 AM
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase caught 125 passes for 1,412 yards and eight touchdowns last season, and the quieter scoring total did nothing to loosen his grip on the top dynasty spot. Chase still led the NFL with 185 targets. He has also cleared 1,200 receiving yards in four of five seasons, with Joe Burrow and Tee Higgins remaining alongside him in Cincinnati. RotoBaller ranks Chase first overall in dynasty, while he sits fifth overall and WR2 in its PPR redraft rankings. That is hardly a bargain, but it is not an overvaluation, either. Chase is 26, signed through 2029, and attached to one of football's best passers. Rebuilders do not need to move him simply because they are not ready to contend. Unless the return looks like a franchise-changing haul, there is little reason for any dynasty manager to sell.

Rhamondre Stevenson News
Thursday, July 30, 11:43 AM
New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson had a positive low-red-zone rep during Thursday's training camp practice, bouncing a run outside and appearing to turn the corner, according to Evan Lazar. TreVeyon Henderson also scored on an inside run through a large opening during the same period. Stevenson played 14 games in 2025, rushing 130 times for 603 yards and seven touchdowns while catching 32 passes for 345 yards and two more scores. Henderson led New England with 215 touches, 1,132 scrimmage yards, and 10 total touchdowns as a rookie. The Patriots enter 2026 with Stevenson and Henderson established as their top two backs, and Thursday's work shows that both are receiving opportunities in scoring territory. However, one practice period does not establish how the regular-season workload or goal-line carries will be divided. Stevenson remains firmly involved near the end zone, but Henderson's production and explosiveness make this a backfield fantasy managers should continue evaluating throughout camp.
