Jaylen Waddle News
Wednesday, July 15, 12:35 PM
Denver Broncos wide receiver Troy Franklin finally gave fantasy managers something to work with in Year 2. Then Denver traded for Jaylen Waddle. Franklin caught 65 of 104 targets for 709 yards and six touchdowns last season, a big jump from his 28-catch rookie year. That growth should not be tossed aside because the depth chart got ugly. Waddle and Courtland Sutton now headline a room that still has Marvin Mims Jr. and Pat Bryant, and Denver has said it does not plan to trade another receiver. A steady weekly role is no longer a given. Franklin's two seasons with Bo Nix at Oregon help, but familiarity will only take him so far when the ball has to be spread around. RotoBaller has him at WR80 in its latest dynasty rankings. That is low enough to hold rather than sell after one rough offseason turn. Redraft is different. Franklin needs camp to break his way before he is more than a late bench flier, but dynasty managers can wait and see what survives from last year's breakout.

Jameson Williams News
Tuesday, July 21, 10:47 AM
Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams was a classic boom-or-bust fantasy receiver in 2025. The 25-year-old speedster posted seven games with fewer than seven fantasy points and eight games with 15 or more fantasy points. Most of Williams' boom games came after head coach Dan Campbell took over play-calling in Week 10. This offseason, the Lions hired former Arizona Cardinals offensive coordinator Drew Petzing. Petzing runs a more run-heavy offense that favors heavy personnel packages and fewer three-wide receiver sets. This could lead to more bust weeks for Williams if Petzing does not see him as a primary weapon, as Campbell did last season. In 2026, Williams will continue to battle Sam LaPorta for targets in a crowded Lions offense. It remains to be seen whether the two can coexist and produce as top fantasy options. Williams looks to continue as a low-floor, high-ceiling player this season, which will make him the ultimate wildcard for managers heading into draft season.
