Ja'Marr Chase News
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.

Zay Flowers News
Sunday, May 31, 8:25 AM
Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers reached WR7 in half-PPR fantasy formats by dominating Baltimore's wide receiver target share in 2025. His 118 targets accounted for 55.9% of all passes thrown to Ravens wideouts, with DeAndre Hopkins' 39 putting him at a distant second. Baltimore was the only team in the league to run more plays out of 12-personnel than 11, with Flowers the sole staple in those two-receiver sets. With a coaching overhaul ahead of the 2026 season and the team spending third and fourth-round picks on receivers Ja'Kobi Lane and Elijah Sarratt, Flowers could see a target share dip that would be hard to overcome with his consistently low touchdown numbers. While not responsible for playcalling under Ben Johnson, new offensive coordinator Declan Doyle held the same title in Chicago, where the Bears deployed three-receiver sets at the league's seventh-highest rate in 2025. Flowers still profiles as the unquestioned top receiver in Baltimore, and he could benefit from an overall higher passing volume, but enough factors are working against him to keep him at RotoBaller's dynasty WR26 despite coming off a career year.
