Khalil Shakir News
Sunday, June 14, 5:10 PM
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir has arguably been his team's most consistent pass-catcher over the past two years, averaging 74 catches, 770 receiving yards, and four touchdowns on 97 targets per season. Particularly in PPR-scoring formats, Shakir's reliability and consistency allow him to provide fantasy managers with a safe production floor. However, his upside is also limited by his lack of downfield ability, as he averaged just 10 yards per reception and 7.6 yards per target in 2025. Additionally, Shakir's target volume in Buffalo may be trending in the wrong direction following the team's offseason acquisition of veteran wide receiver DJ Moore. If the Bills get strong production from Moore and a healthier season from tight end Dalton Kincaid, Shakir could be siloed to a complementary role in the team's passing game. Given his limited ceiling and the shifting environment around Shakir in Buffalo, dynasty managers may want to explore selling high on him ahead of 2026.

Jayden Higgins News
Sunday, June 21, 11:49 AM
A second-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Houston Texans wide receiver Jayden Higgins saw his usage steadily ramp up over the back half of his rookie season, and after standing out in a non-contact minicamp setting, big things are expected of him in year two. Higgins has reportedly impressed teammates and coaches alike with added muscle and increased play speed, and he could become a fixture on the outside opposite two-time Pro Bowler Nico Collins. In seven of his final 11 games of 2025, Higgins either caught at least five passes, racked up 50+ yards, or scored a touchdown, topping 9.0 half-PPR fantasy points in six of those outings. After middle-of-the-pack finishes across most offensive categories, meaningful improvements are expected of a Texans unit that added running back David Montgomery and should see further development from not only Higgins but fellow 2025 Day 2 pick Jaylin Noel. At RotoBaller's dynasty WR44, Higgins is a relatively low-cost trade target who could see his price rise precipitously should the drum beat continue to grow louder when the team reconvenes for training camp.
