Ryan Flournoy News
Saturday, June 27, 7:00 AM
Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer singled out wide receiver Ryan Flournoy as a player who stood out during the team's offseason workouts during organized team activities and minicamp, according to Joseph Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News. "Ryan Flournoy, I really think is taking the next step," Schottenheimer said. "I think he has a chance to be a terrific receiver in this league." The 26-year-old former sixth-rounder in 2024 out of Southeast Missouri State is the unquestioned WR3 going into the 2026 season behind CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens, and he has been given more of a leadership role this offseason as he heads into his third year in the NFL. Flournoy took a big step in his second season last year, catching 40 passes for 475 yards and four touchdowns in 16 games (four starts) after posting a 10-102-0 line in his rookie campaign. RotoBaller currently has Flournoy ranked at No. 63 at the WR position, but if anything were to happen to either Lamb or Pickens, he'd become a must-add off the waiver wire in Dallas' pass-happy offense.

Makai Lemon News
Friday, June 26, 5:25 AM
In trading up for wide receiver Makai Lemon in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft, Philadelphia Eagles general manager Howie Roseman took yet another step to prepare the team for life without three-time Pro Bowler A.J. Brown. By that point, the Eagles had already signed Hollywood Brown and traded for Dontayvion Wicks, and with three-time 1,000-yard receiver DeVonta Smith still in the building, Roseman was able to retool the group on the fly. With a versatile group of new pass catchers looking to earn their spots behind Smith, it will undoubtedly be one of the most interesting position groups to watch when the team reconvenes for training camp in late July, and Sports Illustrated's Eagles reporter Ed Kracz believes Lemon will be used primarily out of the slot and will be the team's most impactful rookie. Lemon won the Biletnikoff Award operating primarily from the inside at USC, and if he can carve out an early role, he could pay immediate fantasy dividends as a late-round pick in 2026 drafts, particularly in full-PPR leagues.
