Quez Watkins Placed on Injured Reserve

Sunday, August 3, 11:28 PM

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Quez Watkins (undisclosed) has been placed on injured reserve. The 27-year-old left Friday's practice with an injury and did not return. Watkins, who began his career in 2020 with the Eagles, compiled a stat line of 98 receptions, 1,249 yards, and six touchdowns over four seasons, with his 2021 season being his most productive. His placement on IR is not expected to have any fantasy relevance, as he was far down the depth chart and looking to secure a roster spot on his new team. In a corresponding move, the Cardinals signed wide receiver Nate McCollum.

Juwan Johnson News

Juwan Johnson an Affordable Trade Target for Contending Dynasty Managers

Sunday, June 14, 5:25 AM

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson topped double-digit fantasy points seven times in 2025 in half-PPR formats, and in the second season of the Kellen Moore and Tyler Shough era, the Saints are in the conversation of the most improved offenses heading into 2026. New Orleans paid up to acquire running back Travis Etienne Jr. in free agency and spent the eighth overall pick in the NFL Draft on Arizona State wide receiver Jordyn Tyson. While both are more than capable of siphoning targets from Johnson, the trade-off could be more sustained drives and scoring opportunities for one of the league's fastest-paced offenses, which should only grow more efficient with another year of development. While the end result could be something close to a wash for the 29-year-old Johnson, the seventh-year veteran heads into 2026 as RotoBaller's dynasty TE26, fresh on the heels of a TE10 finish, making him an undervalued trade target with weekly starting potential.
