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.

Parker Washington News
Wednesday, July 22, 5:26 AM
In a recent interview with Peter Schrager, Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Liam Coen was effusive in his praise of wide receiver Parker Washington. Coen touched on Washington's work ethic, his connection with quarterback Trevor Lawrence, and his special ability with the ball in his hands, noting that he's almost built like a running back in his lower half. It is important to note that Coen also pointed to the arrival of Jakobi Meyers, as well as Brian Thomas Jr.'s ability to draw the coverage of the opponent's top defender, as reasons Washington had so much success down the stretch, providing talking points for all permutations of how Jacksonville's receiver room will stack up in 2026. The Jaguars' first practice of training camp is scheduled for July 29, and with one of the most fantasy-relevant positional battles taking place in said receiver room, updates will be pouring regularly out of Duval County.
