Jaylin Lane Has Value in Deep Leagues Going into his Sophomore Season

Wednesday, February 25, 10:36 AM

Washington Commanders wide receiver Jaylin Lane ended his rookie season on Injured Reserve due to an ankle injury, but flashed promise at times during the 2025 season. The young receiver out of Virginia Tech played behind veteran wide receivers Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel Sr. for the majority of his debut season, tallying just 225 yards on 16 catches. However, Deebo is set to hit free agency in March, which opens the door for Lane to compete for the team's second option at wide receiver. Lane was primarily an intermediate-to-deep threat who averaged 14.7 air yards per target over his 15 games played, and is an intriguing option for deep-league fantasy managers looking for volatility in the late rounds. For dynasty managers, Lane remains a good stash player with upside on a promising offense.

Elijah Sarratt News

Elijah Sarratt Making a Case for More Work

Tuesday, August 25, 9:14 AM

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Elijah Sarratt still has plenty of bodies ahead of him, but the fourth-round rookie has helped himself this summer. Sarratt caught six of seven targets for 66 yards in the preseason opener against Philadelphia, leading Baltimore in catches and receiving yards before losing a fumble in the second half. The follow-up against Minnesota was much quieter, just one catch for three yards, though he also flashed during the joint practices by shaking a Vikings defender in one-on-ones. Baltimore took Sarratt 115th overall after he scored an FBS-leading 15 receiving touchdowns at Indiana last season. Getting onto the field regularly is the hard part. Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman are locked in as starters, with Devontez Walker and fellow rookie Ja'Kobi Lane currently ahead of Sarratt on the depth chart. RotoBaller has him 308th overall and WR116. That keeps him out of normal redraft plans, but Sarratt has done enough this summer to improve his standing as a deep-league stash.
