Ryan Flournoy News
Tuesday, May 5, 12:17 PM
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Ryan Flournoy emerged as a steady complementary contributor in his second NFL season in 2025, finishing the year with 40 receptions for 475 yards and four touchdowns on 56 targets across 16 games. The 26-year-old took advantage of an early-season injury to star Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb, recording 11 catches for 158 yards across the three games Lamb missed. With Lamb and George Pickens atop the wide receiver depth chart in Dallas, Flournoy looks to be stuck as his team's WR3 entering 2026. As long as both Lamb and Pickens are healthy, Flournoy's fantasy production ceiling is limited. However, Pickens is currently signed to the franchise tag and remains without a long-term extension in place in Dallas, putting his future with the team in question. Should the Cowboys decide to move on from Pickens either during or after the 2026 season, Flournoy would be in line for a significant role increase. In dynasty formats, Flournoy might be worth stashing for his long-term upside.

Jalen Royals News
Wednesday, October 8, 11:09 AM
Kansas City Chiefs rookie wide receiver Jalen Royals missed the first two games of the 2025 season with a knee injury. He's been active in each of the team's last three games, but Royals has not yet been targeted by Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. The 22-year-old appears buried on Kansas City's wide receiver depth chart behind Xavier Worthy, Marquise Brown, Tyquan Thornton, and JuJu Smith-Schuster. Royals could fall down the depth chart even further in Week 7 when top Chiefs wideout Rashee Rice is eligible to return from suspension. Royals maintains some appeal in dynasty leagues, but he should remain off the radar of redraft fantasy managers for the time being.
