Troy Franklin News
Sunday, April 5, 9:44 PM
Denver Broncos wide receiver Troy Franklin enjoyed a second-year breakout as the overall WR31 in PPR leagues last season. It seemed like he was trending up and due for an even stronger showing in 2026, but then, the Broncos went out and traded for Jaylen Waddle. That acquisition offers a major shakeup in Denver, establishing Courtland Sutton and Waddle as the undisputed top two receivers on the team. As a result, Franklin will fall to the No. 3 role. Not only is he no longer a lock to consistently start games, but he's also due for a step backward in fantasy football. His 2025 finish as the WR31 could end up being the peak of the early portion of his career, as Franklin will have trouble being a top-36 fantasy receiver if both Sutton and Waddle are healthy. It'll be tough to sell high on the 23-year-old, so he's merely a hold in most leagues for now.

Emeka Egbuka News
Sunday, April 19, 8:09 AM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Emeka Egbuka was an Offensive Rookie of the Year candidate at some points during the 2025 NFL season, but his somewhat underwhelming second half took him out of the running for the award. Along the way, Egbuka's high dynasty stock decreased slightly, creating a "buy" opportunity for managers in some dynasty leagues this offseason. The Ohio State product's subpar production during the second half was frustrating, but there's absolutely no reason to panic going forward. He has still shown that he can be a top-tier receiver in the NFL, winning matchups against defenders and scoring plenty of touchdowns. Now, he'll have an opportunity to do so more often with Mike Evans gone. Evans left for the 49ers in free agency, leaving Egbuka as the Bucs' top receiver over Chris Godwin Jr. Egbuka ranks as the WR12 in RotoBaller's dynasty rankings. That's nothing to scoff at, but he also has top-five upside if the Bucs' offense can find more of a rhythm in 2026. Believe it or not, Egbuka is still a reasonable trade target in many dynasty leagues.
