Kendrick Bourne Is Mostly a Deep-League Option in 2026

Sunday, August 9, 11:20 AM

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Kendrick Bourne has a defined role heading into 2026, but it may not be enough to matter in most redraft leagues. Bourne caught 37 of 53 targets for 551 yards in 16 games with San Francisco last season and did not score a touchdown. Arizona signed him to a two-year deal in March, and the team's own website has him sliding in as the WR3 behind Marvin Harrison Jr. and Michael Wilson. Trey McBride also sits near the top of the passing game, so Bourne could have trouble seeing enough volume to become a weekly fantasy option. He did average 14.9 yards per catch last year and gives the Cardinals an experienced receiver who can step into a larger role if Harrison or Wilson misses time. For now, though, RotoBaller has Bourne 230th overall and WR88 in half-PPR. That puts him outside the range of players fantasy managers need to prioritize in standard leagues, though he can still make sense as depth in deeper formats.

Rookie Elijah Sarratt Competing for WR3 Role in Baltimore

Saturday, August 8, 8:39 AM

Baltimore Ravens rookie fourth-round wide receiver Elijah Sarratt is competing for the WR3 role in training camp this summer behind Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman, according to Clifton Brown of BaltimoreRavens.com. The fact that the Ravens haven't signed a veteran wideout to help improve their WR depth will give both Sarratt and fellow rookie Ja'Kobi Lane a real opportunity to seize a starting spot with the Ravens in three-wide sets. Sarratt and Lane are competing with Devontez Walker and LaJohntay Wester in the WR3 battle this summer. Brown writes that Walker may be the favorite for the job as he enters his third season in the NFL, and he's made the most of his opportunities so far. However, head coach Jesse Minter has said that there will be "major opportunities for at least one" of Sarratt or Lane. Sarratt, a product of Indiana, is probably behind Lane at this point in camp, and even if he were to land the WR3 role, it probably wouldn't produce enough volume for the first-year wideout to be draft-worthy in most single-year fantasy football leagues.
