Is Stefon Diggs Worth a Flier at the End of 2026 Drafts?

Friday, July 3, 10:49 AM

One season after tearing his ACL while playing for the Houston Texans, 11th-year wide receiver Stefon Diggs was the top receiving option for a 2025 New England Patriots team that reached the Super Bowl. While the Patriots opted to move on from Diggs while aggressively rebuilding their receiver room around MVP runner-up Drake Maye, the four-time Pro Bowler is still more than capable of providing a veteran presence to a number of teams and could find a fantasy-relevant role in a handful of receiver rooms as currently constructed. In a rotational role in his lone season in New England, Diggs topped 1,000 yards on 85 receptions, finishing as the WR18 while rarely seeing higher than a 60% snap share. Still a savvy route-runner with some of the best hands in the league, Diggs converted 60% of his receptions into first downs and could continue to see high-value opportunities in a part-time role. Even without a team at the moment, at RotoBaller's WR62, the free agent receiver is a clever stash in the final rounds of 2026 drafts.

Deebo Samuel Sr. News

Do Fantasy Managers Have a Buy-Low Window on Deebo Samuel Sr.?

Monday, June 29, 12:58 PM

With the start of NFL training camps rapidly approaching, veteran wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. remains without a home for the 2026 season. Across 16 games for the Washington Commanders in 2025, Samuel Sr. recorded 72 catches for 727 yards and five touchdowns on 99 targets. The 30-year-old also provided modest production as a rusher, collecting 75 yards and a score on 17 carries. Samuel Sr. is not the same explosive player he once was at his peak. Still, he was a reasonably productive player last season who should presumably have a job in 2026 if he wants to keep playing. Samuel Sr. finished as the WR34 by per-game PPR scoring in 2025, but he's currently coming off the board as the WR64 by redraft ADP. Even with age-related regression and role uncertainty baked in, Samuel Sr. has a solid chance to outperform his current ADP in 2026.
