Jordan Addison News
Wednesday, May 27, 10:11 AM
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison had an underwhelming 2025 season. In addition to missing the first three games of the year due to a suspension, he turned in the worst statistics of his career as he caught just 42 passes for 610 yards and three touchdowns across 14 games. It was the first time in Addison's three-year career that he ranked lower than WR23 in PPR leagues. The frustrating 2025 season has prompted some managers to explore trading Addison in dynasty leagues. While we're not overly optimistic about a quarterback room featuring J.J. McCarthy and Kyler Murray, we do expect to see more consistent, quality quarterback reps from McCarthy and Murray than what we saw from Carson Wentz and Max Brosmer last year. Video from voluntary workouts shows that Murray, the projected starter, has quickly built a rapport with Addison, so perhaps that's a reason for optimism. Jefferson is still the alpha receiver here, but the 2023 and 2024 seasons showed that Jefferson and Addison can co-exist on the fantasy radar. Addison ranks as the WR30 in RotoBaller's latest dynasty fantasy football rankings, and he has sneaky value as a potential buy-low candidate in trades ahead of the 2026 season.

Josh Downs News
Saturday, May 30, 5:02 PM
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs has been trending up in dynasty leagues. The 24-year-old receiver's dynasty stock has benefitted from the Colts' decision to trade Michael Pittman Jr., which should leave Downs in line to start alongside Alec Pierce. While Pierce projects as the Colts' top receiver after his big payday, Downs has the potential to carve out a fantasy-relevant role. This offense is good enough to support two fantasy-relevant receivers for several years to come, especially as long as Daniel Jones is under center. Downs has ranked between WR35 and WR44 in each of his three NFL seasons, but we wouldn't be surprised to see him take a big step forward and post the best fantasy finish of his career in 2026. Downs set a new career low in catches, yards, and fantasy points last year, softening his price tag in dynasty leagues. Managers should take advantage of this discount and send out trade offers for the UNC product before his potential Year 4 breakout.
