Tre’ Harris’ stock is rising in best ball drafts. The 2025 second-round pick did not see too much action in his rookie year, finishing with 324 receiving yards. However, this could be the breakout season for Harris. He is a talented big receiver and could excel in the NFL if given the chance. Keenan Allen was the team’s receptions leader last season, and with him out of the picture, there are a lot of targets on the table. Harris should be upgraded to a starting spot in the offense this season with a real chance to thrive in Mike McDaniel’s offense. There is even some speculation around Quentin Johnston being a trade candidate, which would only increase Harris’ role in the offense.
AD Mitchell was traded to the Jets in the middle of last season. It was a mixed bag of results for Mitchell in New York. However, he was more productive in his eight games with the Jets than he was in his eight games with the Colts. That is despite New York having the worst quarterback play in the league during the second half of last season. The veteran presence of Geno Smith at quarterback and the experienced playcaller, Frank Reich, should bring stability to the Jets’ passing offense. Mitchell should be the Jets’ third starting receiver, alongside Garrett Wilson and rookie Omar Cooper Jr. Those two players will demand a lot of attention, and it could open up Mitchell to have a big season for the Jets.
The Brandon Aiyuk saga is stretching into the summer. Aiyuk did not play football last season due to an ongoing contract dispute with the 49ers. It seemed settled that San Francisco would trade him this offseason, as Aiyuk said he would not play for the 49ers again. However, San Francisco is refusing to give Aiyuk the easy out he is hoping for. It seemed like the 49ers would send him off to Washington to play for the Commanders next season as soon as possible, but both sides are turning this into a messy breakup. Aiyuk has now posted on social media, calling out the 49ers, making the situation even uglier. Ultimately, San Francisco should deal him this offseason. However, if Aiyuk does not get his preferred destination of Washington or if he doesn’t get traded until late into the offseason, it could decrease his fantasy expectations for next season.
Kayshon Boutte was a deep-play weapon for New England last season. He led the team in yards per reception among players with at least 20 catches. Last season, Stefon Diggs was the Patriots’ WR1, and Diggs is much more of a possession receiver. The new WR1 in town is A.J. Brown. Unlike Diggs, Brown wants to go deep down the sideline and make contested catches down the field. That will eat into some of those deep routes that Boutte would run last season. To make matters worse for Boutte, the Patriots went out and acquired Romeo Doubs from the Packers. Doubs is also a deep-ball specialist and will take away targets from Boutte. He will still have some role to play in the Patriots’ offense, but it seems hard to trust Boutte on a weekly basis based on how this depth chart looks.
