Jalen Royals Facing Uphill Battle for Playing Time in Kansas City?

Wednesday, October 8, 11:09 AM

Kansas City Chiefs rookie wide receiver Jalen Royals missed the first two games of the 2025 season with a knee injury. He's been active in each of the team's last three games, but Royals has not yet been targeted by Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. The 22-year-old appears buried on Kansas City's wide receiver depth chart behind Xavier Worthy, Marquise Brown, Tyquan Thornton, and JuJu Smith-Schuster. Royals could fall down the depth chart even further in Week 7 when top Chiefs wideout Rashee Rice is eligible to return from suspension. Royals maintains some appeal in dynasty leagues, but he should remain off the radar of redraft fantasy managers for the time being.

Elijah Sarratt Carries Dynasty Sleeper Appeal into 2026

Sunday, June 14, 5:47 PM

Baltimore Ravens rookie wide receiver Elijah Sarratt fell to the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft after some projected that he could go as early as the second round. The 23-year-old was one of the stars of the University of Indiana's national championship-winning team in 2025, recording 65 catches for 830 yards and 15 touchdowns across 14 games. Despite the draft-day slide, Sarratt may have found himself in an ideal NFL landing spot in Baltimore. The Ravens have Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman firmly atop their wide receiver depth chart, but Sarratt should enter training camp in a competition with Devontez Walker and 2026 third-round Ja'Kobi Lane for the team's WR3 role. Baltimore also lost a big-bodied red zone threat over the offseason in tight end Isaiah Likely, who signed with the New York Giants in free agency. If Sarratt can emerge as a trusted target of Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, he should have plenty of chances to produce in a strong Baltimore offense. Sarratt profiles as a high-upside dynasty sleeper ahead of his rookie season with the Ravens.
