Busy week last week! Lots to get into, so let’s do it.

WR Cyrus Allen, Kansas City 📈

Not even a shin bruise could derail the hype train that is Cyrus Allen. The rookie fifth-round pick continues to shine, and a recent report from Albert Breer says the Chiefs plan to make him a part of the game plan immediately. He’s not worth a draft pick in redraft, but is a worthy dart throw in best ball and needs to be scooped up off the waiver wire in dynasty leagues.

WR Ted Hurst, Tampa Bay 📈

Another rookie who is making a great impression early on. Hurst’s big frame has been on full display as he’s made some difficult catches look rather routine. While he’s still on the outside looking in for meaningful snaps, he’s made the most of the opportunity he’s shown that his production against small school talent can translate to this level. Another dynasty target.

WR Parker Washington, Jacksonville 📈

The 2026 training camp hype train begins with Parker Washington. He’s been Trevor Lawrence’s favourite target each day, and the coaching staff has offered nothing to slow the steam on this train. His current draft price makes him one of the best values in all of fantasy football.

WR Jordyn Tyson, New Orleans 📈

If Washington is No. 1 on the training camp hype train, Jordyn Tyson might be No. 2. He’s avoided his main concern coming into the NFL, injury, thus far, while his route running has had his teammates in a blender. Tyson might have a massive rookie season.

WR Courtland Sutton, Denver 📉

There’s some smoke building that Sutton could be traded before the season starts. Pat Bryant is making the leap everyone hoped he would, which makes the older and more expensive Sutton expendable. Even if Sutton isn’t traded, Bryant could begin to take over the No. 2 role in the passing attack sooner rather than later.

RB TreVeyon Henderson, New England 📉

Pass protection is still an issue for Hendo, which is a major hindrance to how much playing time he’ll see. This continues to be perplexing, as Hendo was a terrific pass protector in college. He’ll become less of a threat to Rhamondre Stevenson’s playing time if this continues.

WR Rashee Rice, Kansas City 📉

I hate to overreact to videos during training camp, but the clip of Rice running a post route last week was concerning. Zero juice in his stride. In fact, it almost looked like he was labouring a bit. We’ll see how this knee looks over the next few weeks, but I’m beginning to cool on Rice a bit.

WR TE Chig Okonkwo, Washington 📉

Put rookie WR Antonio Williams in this bucket, too. The signing of Stefon Diggs drastically changes the outlook for anyone not named Terry McLaurin. The Commanders are going to live in 2WR sets a lot this season, so Williams might be hard-pressed to get onto the field. Okonkwo will still see volume, but he was the No. 2 pass-catcher in this offence before Diggs showed up.

RB Nic Singleton, Tennessee 📈

Some reports that Singleton could push Tyjae Spears for the third-down role this season. Something to monitor, as he could become a factor as the season draws on.

RB Jacory-Croskey Merritt, Washington 📈

The JCM hype is back for a second season, and this time it feels more promising. He’s improving as a pass-catcher and is being treated like the starter. JCM looks like he could be a steal later in drafts.

RB Jordan Mason, Minnesota 📈

Reports right now are that Jordan Mason has looked much better than Aaron Jones. More and more, this feels like Mason is going to get the bulk of the carries and the goal line work, while Jones primarily fills in on third down.

WR Denzel Boston, Cleveland 📈

Another big-bodied rookie WR who is showing he belongs. Boston is proving that his strong showing in mini camp was no fluke, and he is truly making a bid to be the Browns’ No. 1 option this season.

WR Caleb Douglas, Miami 📈

Add Malik Washington into this. Washington and Douglas are making waves as the clear top two WRs in Miami. It’s an interesting development, particularly in Douglas’ case, as many fans weren’t all that impressed with the front office when they selected him in the third round this spring. He’s long and fast, but had issues with drops in college. He’s a dynasty stash and potentially a best ball dart throw at this time.

Thanks for reading and, as always, have a great day.
