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.

Malik Nabers News
Friday, June 12, 6:58 AM
New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (knee) had a lost season in 2025 after suffering a season-ending knee injury in Week 4. Nabers underwent surgery to repair both his ACL and meniscus, and the severity of the injury has his status for the start of the 2026 season currently in question. Nabers looked like a future superstar at the wide receiver position before getting hurt, recording 127 receptions for 1,475 yards and nine touchdowns on 205 targets across the first 19 games of his NFL career. Until he shows he is fully healthy and back to the player he was before the injury, Nabers' profile obviously comes with some risk for dynasty managers. Still, Nabers is only entering his age-23 season and still profiles as the obvious centerpiece in an improving Giants passing game. Even if he misses games to start 2026, he profiles long-term as a high-end dynasty WR1 as long as he eventually makes a full recovery. In dynasty formats, managers may have a golden opportunity to pursue Nabers at what could be the absolute low point in his value entering 2026.
