Tee Higgins News

Tee Higgins a High-Ceiling Dynasty Trade Target

Tuesday, June 9, 6:00 AM

Over the past three seasons, Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins has played in only 39 of a potential 51 games, and of those 39 contests, only 25 have come with quarterback Joe Burrow under center. In those games, Higgins has averaged 13.3 half-PPR points per game, a number that would have been good enough for a WR9 finish in 2025. Injuries have come to define the Bengals offense in recent years, but heading into 2026 with good health and no contract disputes, Cincinnati is once again a threat to lead the league in scoring. Because the full puzzle has so rarely been put together, it's possible that Higgins is still being slightly slept on in dynasty leagues. Only 27 years old, he is one of the premier WR2s in the league with the potential to win weeks should an injury to Ja'Marr Chase force him into a larger role, and at RotoBaller's dynasty WR26, he's a high-reward trade target whose perceived risk has driven down his cost in recent years.

Ladd McConkey News

Can Ladd McConkey Re-Establish His Dynasty Value in 2026?

Tuesday, May 5, 12:27 PM

After topping 80 catches and 1,100 receiving yards as a rookie in 2024, Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey turned in an underwhelming sophomore campaign in 2025. Across 16 games, the 24-year-old hauled in 66 receptions for 789 yards and six touchdowns on 106 targets. The Chargers will have a new play-caller in 2026 in former Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel, who could help McConkey rediscover his rookie-year magic. Former Chargers wideout Keenan Allen also remains unsigned, and his absence would likely allow McConkey to spend more time in the slot in 2026. Los Angeles does have other capable pass-catchers in wide receiver Quentin Johnston and tight end Oronde Gadsden, as well as 2025 second-round wideout Tre' Harris and 2026 fourth-round wideout Brenen Thompson. Still, McConkey has the highest upside of the bunch and should be the lead target-earner in McDaniel's revamped offense. In dynasty formats, McConkey could be a solid buy-low target entering 2026.
