Jalen McMillan News
Friday, March 13, 2:19 PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Jalen McMillan had his 2025 season largely derailed after he suffered a neck injury in preseason action that caused him to miss 13 games. Upon his return, the 24-year-old recorded 12 catches for 178 yards on 15 targets across Tampa Bay's final four contests of the regular season. However, McMillan could be well-positioned for a bounce-back year in 2026. Longtime stalwart Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans signed with the San Francisco 49ers in free agency, opening the door for McMillan to carve out a regular role alongside Tampa Bay wideouts Emeka Egbuka and Chris Godwin Jr. McMillan flashed significant upside as a rookie in 2024, hauling in 37 catches for 461 yards and eight touchdowns on 58 targets across 13 games. With Godwin Jr. battling injuries and age-related decline in recent years, McMillan could emerge as the WR2 in Tampa Bay as soon as next season. His dynasty value should be trending upwards following the departure of Evans from Tampa Bay.

Jayden Higgins News
Tuesday, March 3, 5:34 AM
Houston Texans wide receiver Jayden Higgins put together a strong rookie season, and he's making a push to be the team's No. 2 receiver in 2026. Higgins finished his first NFL campaign with 41 catches, 525 yards, and six touchdowns, including 111 yards and two scores over his final two games. The second-round pick was Houston's third leading receiver behind Nico Collins and Dalton Schultz. He established himself ahead of Christian Kirk, who is headed for free agency this offseason. Other names in the mix in Houston include Jaylin Noel and Tank Dell (knee). Higgins is already ahead of Noel in the pecking order, and he'll likely have an early advantage over Dell given that he hasn't played since the 2024 playoffs due to a very serious knee injury involving his ACL, MCL, LCL, meniscus, and kneecap. The 23-year-old Higgins was the WR47 in PPR leagues last year, which is likely his floor going forward. He has top-30 potential in 2026, especially if quarterback C.J. Stroud is able to bounce back from a down campaign. Higgins is a strong target in redraft leagues, and his buy window in dynasty formats will close real soon.
