Nico Collins News
Monday, June 15, 5:25 AM
Since a third-year breakout in 2023, Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins has topped 1,000 receiving yards and six touchdowns in each of the past three seasons while twice finishing as a top-five graded receiver by PFF, and only dropping as low as number eight in 2025. As the unquestioned focal point of opposing defenses, Collins has finished as the WR9 in each of his last two full seasons, and with reinforcements coming to the Texans' offense in 2026, his game could take yet another step up. After finishing with one of the least efficient running games in the league, Houston traded for David Montgomery, and with further development expected from second-year wideouts Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel, and the potential return of Tank Dell from a devastating 2024 knee injury, Collins could face significantly lower rates of double teams moving forward. At RotoBaller's dynasty WR10, the 27-year-old still has several years of prime play left after a slow start to his NFL career.

Emeka Egbuka News
Sunday, May 31, 11:09 AM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Emeka Egbuka burst onto the scene as a rookie in 2025, recording 63 receptions for 938 yards and six touchdowns on 127 targets across 17 games. The 23-year-old's production slowed down a bit in the second half of the season, as he failed to record a touchdown reception after Week 9 and topped 60 receiving yards just once over his final eight games played. However, Egbuka profiles as the number one target in the Bucs' passing game entering 2026 following the offseason departure of star wideout Mike Evans in free agency. He will also get a chance to play more on the inside, which should allow him to improve on his subpar 49.6% catch rate. If Egbuka's slow finish to 2025 creates a dip in his value, dynasty managers should pounce on the opportunity to buy low on him heading into his second NFL season.
