Jaylen Waddle News
Thursday, June 11, 4:13 PM
New Denver Broncos wide receiver Jaylen Waddle "has looked every bit the star wide receiver this spring," according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. The Broncos gave up a first-round pick in this year's NFL draft to acquire the services of Waddle from the Miami Dolphins this offseason, and head coach Sean Payton looks ready to use him all over the field. The 27-year-old former sixth overall pick in 2021 out of the University of Alabama opened his NFL career with three straight 1,000-yard seasons while also leading the league with 18.1 yards per catch in his sophomore campaign. Waddle failed to reach the 1,000-yard mark in each of the last two years as Miami's speed-based offense hit a snag, although he did bounce back in 2025 with a 64-910-6 line in 16 starts. The Broncos already have a capable WR1 in Courtland Sutton, but the Broncos didn't give up a haul not to involve Waddle regularly, and he could thrive underneath in Payton's offense in Year 1 in Denver. Waddle is a more intriguing target for fantasy managers in PPR formats, and he should be considered a low-end WR2/high-end WR3/flex in his new digs.

Malik Nabers News
Friday, June 12, 6:58 AM
New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (knee) had a lost season in 2025 after suffering a season-ending knee injury in Week 4. Nabers underwent surgery to repair both his ACL and meniscus, and the severity of the injury has his status for the start of the 2026 season currently in question. Nabers looked like a future superstar at the wide receiver position before getting hurt, recording 127 receptions for 1,475 yards and nine touchdowns on 205 targets across the first 19 games of his NFL career. Until he shows he is fully healthy and back to the player he was before the injury, Nabers' profile obviously comes with some risk for dynasty managers. Still, Nabers is only entering his age-23 season and still profiles as the obvious centerpiece in an improving Giants passing game. Even if he misses games to start 2026, he profiles long-term as a high-end dynasty WR1 as long as he eventually makes a full recovery. In dynasty formats, managers may have a golden opportunity to pursue Nabers at what could be the absolute low point in his value entering 2026.
