Romeo Doubs News
Friday, June 26, 5:37 AM
Fresh off a career-high 724 receiving yards in his final season with the Packers, wide receiver Romeo Doubs signed a four-year, $68 million deal with the New England Patriots, where he could become the number two option for 2025 MVP runner-up Drake Maye. While former Eagle A.J. Brown has since become the splashier addition, the three-time Pro Bowler is expected to handle more of the true outside role that was held primarily by Kayshon Boutte in 2025. Meanwhile, Doubs is presumed to inherit Stefon Diggs' inside spot, from which the veteran topped 1,000 yards while playing a part-time role. While he has yet to reach 60 receptions in a season, another career year could be in store for Doubs. Still just 26 years old, he is now tied through 2029 to a high-powered offense with plenty of room to grow. Providing a safe fantasy floor as a reliable chain-mover, a case could be made that he's become an undervalued dynasty asset at RotoBaller's WR62.

Brian Thomas Jr. News
Wednesday, June 24, 11:06 AM
NFL Network's Cameron Wolfe reports that multiple people on the Jacksonville Jaguars coaching staff have said that wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. has come back on strong during offseason workouts and has focused on the mental element of his game as well as improving his chemistry with quarterback Trevor Lawrence as he enters Year 3 in 2026. One source told Wolfe that Thomas has been "night and day" this offseason compared to his disappointing sophomore campaign in 2025, in which he caught 48 of 91 targets for 707 yards and two touchdowns in 14 regular-season starts after posting an 87-1,282-10 line in 17 games in his rookie season. The former first-rounder out of LSU is expected to be used a lot more down the field in 2026 on vertical routes, and the Jags think that's where the 23-year-old can really take the next step. Thomas is going to have to battle for targets with Jakobi Meyers, Parker Washington, and tight end Brenton Strange, but all signs this offseason are pointing towards a clear bounce-back for Thomas. Target him as a solid WR3/flex with upside for more in 2026 fantasy drafts.
