Romeo Doubs News
Saturday, July 18, 9:00 AM
Veteran wide receiver Romeo Doubs signed a four-year, $68 million deal with the New England Patriots in the opening hours of free agency, and while the move has since been overshadowed by the acquisition of three-time Pro Bowler A.J. Brown, he should still find his own path to fantasy relevance in 2026. At 6'2" and 210 pounds, Doubs brings much of the expected physicality that allowed Mack Hollins to lead the position group in snaps per game in 2025, but with a higher pass-catching ceiling, he should be able to more regularly convert that time on the field into fantasy production. And while Brown's pairing with MVP runner-up Drake Maye makes clear sense with Maye having led the league in deep throw accuracy, Doubs is well equipped to step into something closer to the chain-moving Stefon Diggs role from a season ago that saw the 32-year-old top 1,000 yards as a part-time player. At RotoBaller's WR53, Doubs should provide a usable weekly floor while offering an underrated ceiling in what could again be one of the league's highest-scoring offenses.

Rome Odunze News
Monday, July 20, 6:37 AM
Injuries derailed what looked to be a promising sophomore season for Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze, but when Bears veterans gather for training camp on July 28, he'll be presented with the season's first opportunity to test his bothersome left foot in a padded practice setting. Odunze suffered a stress fracture in the foot that kept him out of the final five games of the regular season, but he elected not to have offseason surgery, opting instead for what he has called the "new normal" of a calloused and slightly shifted foot structure. Through the first four weeks of the 2025 season, Odunze was the fantasy WR3 before the foot first became an issue, but with him slowed later in the year, rookies Luther Burden III and Colston Loveland stepped into prominent roles that leave Chicago's target pecking order somewhat unsettled heading into 2026. RotoBaller ranks Odunze as the WR33, a full 12 positional spots behind Burden, but it should surprise nobody if he's able to pick up where he started last season and command the top pass-catching spot in what projects to be an ascending Chicago offense.
