Nico Collins News
Tuesday, May 26, 12:16 PM
Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins has reached an agreement on an adjustment to his current contract with the team, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. Schefter reports that the adjustment will guarantee Collins' salary for the next two seasons and also includes $17 million in cash increases. While Collins was already under contract with Houston, this new agreement should help ensure that fantasy managers do not have to worry about any contract-related disputes that result in Collins holding out. The 27-year-old recorded 71 receptions for 1,117 yards and six touchdowns on 120 targets across 15 games in 2025 and has hauled in 21 touchdown receptions over the past three years with the Texans. As long as Collins stays healthy, he profiles as a low-end fantasy WR1 heading into 2026.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba News
Tuesday, May 5, 7:31 AM
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba solidified himself among the top tier of fantasy football superstars during the 2025 campaign. In his third NFL regular season, Smith-Njigba exploded for 119 catches, 1,793 yards, and 10 touchdowns (all career-high marks). He was the WR2 in PPR leagues, ranking among the top 10 receivers for the second year in a row. As the 2026 season approaches, Smith-Njigba finds himself in Tier 1 in RotoBaller's latest dynasty fantasy football wide receiver rankings, but he hasn't yet claimed the overall WR1 spot. The latest rankings have Ja'Marr Chase first, Smith-Njigba second, and Puka Nacua third. It's a fair evaluation, especially since Chase's quarterback situation is far more appealing long-term than Smith-Njigba's. Still, it would surprise nobody if Smith-Njigba finished the 2026 season (or any season) as the overall WR1, especially given Joe Burrow's injury history in Cincinnati. All in all, Smith-Njigba is an undisputed top-three dynasty receiver, and any fantasy manager looking to acquire him will have to be comfortable parting with a hefty return package.
