Xavier Hutchinson News
Friday, July 10, 5:04 PM
Jared Koch of Sports Illustrated lists Houston Texans wide receiver Xavier Hutchinson as the team's No. 4 wideout with training camp approaching, behind Nico Collins, Jayden Higgins, and Jaylin Noel. Tank Dell (knee), who missed all of last season due to a devastating knee injury suffered in 2024, could also surprise some people by climbing up the WR totem pole in Houston. The 26-year-old Hutchinson had his best year in 2025 in his third season in the NFL, catching 35 of his 57 targets for 428 yards and his first three touchdowns in 17 regular-season games (six starts). Higgins and Noel, both second-year wideouts, continue to separate themselves from the rest of the pack and are fully expected to take on bigger roles in the passing attack to support stud No. 1 WR Collins. Steady volume and consistent playing time are going to be hard to come by for Hutchinson, who was a sixth-rounder in 2023 out of Iowa State, in 2026. In standard 12-team fantasy leagues, Hutchinson should go undrafted.

Chimere Dike News
Tuesday, July 21, 11:21 AM
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Chimere Dike outplayed expectations during his rookie season. The 24-year-old was primarily drafted in the fourth round in 2025 to contribute on special teams as a punt and kick returner. However, Dike hauled in 48 catches for 423 yards and four touchdowns on 74 targets after the team battled injuries all season. This offseason, the Titans fortified the receiving depth chart by adding Wan'Dale Robinson, Carnell Tate, and restructuring Calvin Ridley's contract to keep him in Tennessee. Additionally, Dike will be battling with Elic Ayomanor and Gunnar Helm for targets in a crowded passing offense. While many are projecting Cam Ward to take his game to the next level, it has yet to be seen if he can sustain multiple fantasy-relevant pass-catchers. Dike will face stiff competition to earn targets this season in hopes of avoiding getting lost in a deep receiving room.
