Michael Wilson News
Tuesday, August 11, 6:48 AM
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson broke out in 2025 to the tune of 1,006 receiving yards and seven touchdowns on his way to a WR2 fantasy finish over the final eight games of the season. Now entering the final year of his rookie contract, Cardinals general manager Monti Ossenfort reiterated that the team wants to keep Wilson in their long-term plans while carefully tempering expectations. Asked on Monday if he expects a deal to get done, Ossenfort told the assembled media, "He's a guy we want around here a long time," but stopped short of over-committing. "Expect? That's a tough word. Our interest is in keeping him here." Wilson is RotoBaller's dynasty WR32, and should he reach free agency in 2027 at the age of 27, he should find a receptive market, particularly if he's able to follow up on his late-season success in 2026.

Brian Thomas Jr. News
Tuesday, August 18, 6:52 AM
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. has been sharing reps as the No. 3 receiver with Travis Hunter, according to Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com. For most of training camp, when Thomas has been on the field, Hunter has been on the sideline, and vice versa. Additionally, DiRocco reports that although Thomas has been impressive this summer, the Jaguars have given far more reps to Jakobi Meyers and Parker Washington, whom they are reluctant to take off the field. At this point, fantasy managers should be concerned that Thomas is going to open the season sharing reps as the Jags' No. 3 receiver. Additionally, although Hunter is expected to play more defense than offense, all signs point to Thomas coming off the field when the Jaguars choose to give Hunter reps at wide receiver. Thomas has fallen to WR33 in RotoBaller's latest fantasy football rankings, making him a fringe WR3/flex in most leagues.
