Luther Burden III News
Thursday, June 4, 5:33 PM
Chicago Bears second-year wide receiver Luther Burden III appears to be the one ready to step up after Chicago traded DJ Moore to the Buffalo Bills this offseason. According to former NFL tight end Clay Harbor, Burden is "doing everything you'd think a No. 1 receiver would do" during OTAs this offseason. The 22-year-old former second-rounder (39th overall) out of the University of Missouri looks bigger and faster and is playing both inside and outside in head coach Ben Johnson's offense. Johnson even said himself last week that he's "buying Burden stock right now." He finished his rookie year as a real weapon in Chicago's offense, catching 47 of his 60 targets for 652 yards and two touchdowns in 15 regular-season games (five starts). Former first-rounder Rome Odunze remains in town, but he may never be the same after heel issues that could continue to be a concern for him. Burden looks like the real deal and is quickly becoming one of the top breakout candidates at the receiver position in 2026. RotoBaller currently has him ranked as the No. 19 fantasy WR for the 2026 season.

Carnell Tate News
Friday, June 12, 6:10 AM
Tennessee Titans rookie wide receiver Carnell Tate is entering his first NFL season with plenty of hype after being selected with the fourth overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Tate was one of the better big-play threats in college football last season, recording 51 catches for 875 yards and nine touchdowns across 11 games at Ohio State. In Tennessee, he should have an opportunity to immediately emerge as the team's number one wide receiver on the outside. While the Titans have a pair of solid veteran wideouts in Wan'Dale Robinson and Calvin Ridley and some intriguing youngsters in Chimere Dike and Elic Ayomanor, Tate is clearly the highest-upside pass-catcher on the roster. Tennessee's overall offensive environment remains an open question, as Tate's fantasy value is tied to the development of Titans quarterback Cameron Ward. Still, Tate landed in an ideal spot for immediate production in Tennessee and enters 2026 as RotoBaller's dynasty WR14.
