Stefon Diggs News
Monday, July 13, 8:11 PM
At least five teams have been checking in on free-agent wide receiver Stefon Diggs nearly two weeks out from the start of NFL training camps, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. Diggs had produced 1,013 yards, 85 catches, and four touchdowns in 17 regular-season starts for the New England Patriots last year, coming off an ACL tear and playing around 55% of the offensive snaps, and he feels like he can be even better due to offseason training with no injury concerns. Despite putting up his seventh 1,000-yard season in his 11th year in the league in 2025 and helping the Patriots get back to the Super Bowl, the 32-year-old veteran was cut early in the offseason for salary cap purposes. Diggs believes he's one of the best No. 2 wideouts in the league at this point of his career, if not the best, which is probably why he remains unsigned this late into the offseason. The four-time Pro Bowler is no longer in the prime of his career, but he could definitely still be fantasy relevant if he signs with the right team for the 2026 campaign. Stay tuned.

Josh Downs News
Wednesday, July 15, 10:02 AM
The Athletic's James Boyd lists Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs as a breakout candidate in 2026 after the departures of Adonai Mitchell and Michael Pittman Jr., who were traded to the New York Jets and Pittsburgh Steelers, respectively. Alec Pierce (ankle) is also recovering from offseason surgery that could slow him down early on. Downs is an established receiver in the NFL, having recorded 2,140 yards and 11 touchdowns on 198 receptions in his three years in the league. However, the 24-year-old former third-rounder from the University of North Carolina in 2023 is coming off a career-low 566 receiving yards in 2025. Downs should have more opportunities in his fourth year in the NFL, though, and he'll be motivated as he enters a contract year if he plans on cashing in next offseason on the free-agent market. There's more risk in the Colts' offense as a whole with quarterback Daniel Jones coming off a torn Achilles tendon, the increase in route share and per-route target rate should be enough to put Downs on fantasy managers' radars as a great value pick in the later rounds of drafts. RotoBaller currently has Downs ranked as the No. 42 fantasy WR for 2026.
