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.

Quentin Johnston News
Tuesday, June 23, 9:32 AM
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston has been excited about new offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel's scheme going into the 2026 season, and it could allow him to be even more dangerous in terms of yards after the catch, according to Omar Navarro of Chargers.com. "I feel like the scheme he has is set up for the yards after catch," Johnston said. "There's not always a lot of room for that in this league, but just showing us different angles and stuff to get to the ball after the catch and turning, going across the field and doing different stuff in the plays he has built for us." In his final collegiate season at TCU, almost half of Johnston's receiving yards came after the catch (532 of 1,068 yards). The 24-year-old former 21st overall pick in 2023 has had trouble with drops in the past, but he has also improved in each of his three years in the NFL, and he's led the team with eight touchdowns in each of the last two years. With veteran Keenan Allen unlikely to re-sign, Johnston could take another step forward in McDaniel's offense in 2026 as a big-play threat for the Bolts and fantasy managers alike. RotoBaller has Johnston ranked as the No. 49 fantasy WR for the upcoming campaign.
