KC Concepcion News
Sunday, August 2, 6:37 AM
Cleveland Browns first-round rookie receiver KC Concepcion has made plays throughout the early days of training camp while working as part of a heavy rotation, and Saturday was no exception. With the team working on short-yardage scenarios, Concepcion caught a goal-line touchdown from Shedeur Sanders during 7-on-7 work. Concepcion has largely been used as the top option out of the slot in three-receiver sets, but he has the size and versatility to be moved across the formation. At RotoBaller's WR49, he can often be found behind a deep tier of receivers in the later rounds of 2026 drafts, but should he eventually work himself into something close to a Zay Flowers role in Todd Monken's offense, Concepcion could greatly outperform his draft cost and become a weekly fantasy starter by year's end.

Omar Cooper Jr. News
Monday, July 20, 11:00 AM
The 30th overall selection in the 2026 NFL Draft, New York Jets wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr. enters his rookie season with a chance to make an immediate contribution. Cooper Jr. was highly productive in his final collegiate season at the University of Indiana in 2025, recording 69 catches for 937 yards and 13 touchdowns across 16 games. While the Jets have an established WR1 in Garrett Wilson, Cooper Jr. could easily emerge as the team's number two option in the passing game. The biggest red flag in the 22-year-old's outlook for 2026 is probably the question marks that remain in the Jets' overall offensive ecosystem, which was one of the NFL's worst a season ago. However, veteran quarterback Geno Smith should at least provide some stability to the passing game and be able to support modest fantasy production from a second wideout outside of Wilson. As the WR58 by current redraft ADP, Cooper Jr. carries sleeper appeal into 2026.
