Current ADP
RB 25
Advice: BUY - Jaylen Warren’s 2026 outlook is “congratulations, you accidentally became the lead back”—not flashy, not hyped, just relentlessly productive. After nearly cracking 1,000 yards in 2025 while catching passes and never looking tired, he’s firmly in the trusted-workhorse zone, even if nobody wants to call him that out loud. Expect steady RB2 production with RB1 weeks, lots of angry runs, and zero drama—because Warren’s whole brand is doing his job well and letting louder players take the credit.
RB
Rico Dowdle
2025 Season Stats
RB Overall: 15th RB PPG: 17th
Total Pts: 229 Pts/Game: 14
Height: 5ft 9in Weight: 215lbs
Age this season: 27 Drafted: 2.03
Dynasty Value: Late 2nd round

RB 25
Current ADP
RB 23
Advice: BUY - Rico Dowdle entered 2025 on a one-year deal in Carolina as a backup, earned the starting job through production, then faded late once the workload caught up to him. He still popped several RB1 weeks, which made him noticeable, but the finish exposed the limits. That likely keeps him in the short-term, prove-it contract tier, viewed as a useful committee piece rather than a long-term answer.
WR
D.K. Metcalf
2025 Season Stats
WR Overall: 26th WR PPG: 24th

WR 20
Current ADP
WR 25
Advice: HOLD - DK Metcalf’s 2026 outlook comes with a very real cap on expectations unless he somehow rediscovers the version of himself from early in his career. He’s still big, fast, and intimidating, but the week-to-week dominance hasn’t been there, and the production now feels more scary then solid. Unless the role, QB play, and usage align perfectly, he profiles as a good WR2-3 with spike weeks, not the defensive-wrecking WR1 teams once feared—meaning upside exists, but it’s no longer the baseline.
WR
Michael Pittman
2025 Season Stats
WR Overall: 18th WR PPG: 31st

Dynasty Value: Early 2nd rnd pick

WR 29
Current ADP
WR 42
Advice: SELL - Pittman came back as Indy’s top option in 2025. Entering the final year of his contract, we can give you 28 million reasons to sell Pittman right away! The colts should probably cut the WR’s contract and move on. Unsure where he will play and who will throw him the ball, let’s sell him and convert his value into a nice safe early 2nd draft pick. You may even squeeze out the 1.12?
TE

Current ADP
TE 30
Advice: HOLD - Pat Freiermuth’s 2026 outlook is firmly capped—healthy, reliable, but stuck in a three-tight-end timeshare that limits upside. He’ll play, catch some passes, and chip in a few touchdowns, but the volume just isn’t there to matter consistently. Think steady TE2 production, occasional usable weeks, and long stretches where he’s on the field doing work that doesn’t show up in the box score.
TE
Darnell Washington
2025 Season Stats
TE Overall: 39th TE PPG: 43rd

Advice: HOLD - Washington’s outlook for 2026 is “role specialist first, pass-game threat second”—valued for size, blocking, and occasional red-zone flare, but not someone teams are going to feature in the receiving game. Expect a short, low-risk deal as a complementary piece, with the hope that scheme or opportunity upgrades his touches modestly. He’s more a special teams + big-body asset than a fantasy or contract centerpiece.
