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.

Puka Nacua News
Tuesday, June 23, 8:08 AM
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua has run into some off-field troubles in recent months, checking into a rehab facility in April while simultaneously fighting a civil lawsuit in which a woman alleged gender violence, assault, and battery. However, Nacua is not expected to face discipline from the NFL that would result in missed games in 2026. As long as he's on the field, there's zero question about the 25-year-old's ability to produce at a high level. Across 16 games in 2025, Nacua recorded 129 catches for 1,715 yards and 10 touchdowns on 166 targets. 44 games into his NFL career, Nacua is the league's all-time leader in receiving yards per game (95.3). While his off-field questions add some risk to his long-term dynasty outlook, Nacua has number one overall wide receiver upside. He should be viewed as an elite dynasty asset entering 2026.
