Dynasty fantasy football commissioners may have dodged a MAJOR headache this week. Courts in Texas have ruled in favor of Texas Tech QB Brendan Sorsby, granting an injunction against the NCAA and confirming his eligibility for the 2026 college football season. Sorsby, who will serve a two-game suspension for his gambling infractions, could have been a selection in the NFL’s Supplemental Draft this summer if his NCAA ban had been upheld. Still, now he’s in line to play out his final year of NCAA eligibility while the process plays out in court. The Supplemental Draft is rarely utilized in the NFL, and a fantasy-relevant player hasn’t been selected in it since Josh Gordon in 2012, but Sorsby would’ve been an extremely valuable fantasy player, especially in dynasty superflex leagues. While this hurdle has been cleared for now, it’s worth it for dynasty commissioners to consider how they will handle a player drafted in the Supplemental Draft in the future and potentially write out a process in your league’s constitutions. 

In the pros, Jacoby Brissett leads off the headlines, as he has finally reported to Cardinals minicamp. Brissett wants to be paid like a starting quarterback, but Arizona is by no means compelled to grant his wishes with an extension. He’s under contract, and it’s very unlikely that he’ll hold out into the regular season. If Brissett wants a starter’s salary, he’s going to have to prove he’s worth it on the field this season, just like he did last season. It’s been a dramatic situation, but even if he isn’t participating in minicamp activities, he’ll very likely be on the field this season for the Cardinals. 

At running back, we are starting to see some of the contested backfields start to work themselves out in off-season activities. Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports the Panthers expect Jonathon Brooks to “potentially” be the “lead back over Chuba Hubbard.” He also reports the Texans think David Montgomery “is ready to be a potential three-down back if needed.” In New York, Cam Skattebo is taking 11-on-11 reps for the first time since his season-ending injury. In Jacksonville, Chris Rodriguez is expected to be a “full-go” by training camp and could push Bhayshul Tuten for touches this season. It’s still very early in the process, so don’t overreact to backfield headlines right now. But, as dynasty managers, you need to follow all the off-season headlines closely and be ready to improve your team at any moment or news alert.

After last week’s AJ Brown trade, dynasty managers immediately began making moves for the wide receiver left behind in Philly, DeVonta Smith. He’ll be the headline of the passing game, even with the additions of Makai Lemon and Eli Stowers in the draft. Smith has a chance to elevate into a dynasty WR1 this season, but what does that mean for his value right now in trades and startup drafts? 

Smith’s ADP has been on the rise with the rumors of an AJ Brown trade. He’s the 32nd overall player being selected in startup drafts right now, the 19th overall wide receiver. Smith hasn’t finished better than WR19 since 2022, Brown’s first season with the team. Now, as the team’s alpha wide receiver, he’s expected to once again be a mid-range WR2 or better for dynasty leagues. He’s similarly ranked in the DLF Expert Rankings, WR20 and 31 overall off the board. 

I’m shocked at how cheap these trades are after the AJ Brown trade became official. Smith should be one of the hottest names on the dynasty market right now, but he can be had for about a first round pick. According to DLF Trade Values, he’s worth a pick between 1.04 and 1.05 for 2026. I’d personally be buying Smith at that price, especially considering how shallow this year’s rookie class is.

Editor’s Note: We kicked off our annual series making predictions for every team in the NFL, beginning with the Arizona Cardinals.

Summer is the best time to evaluate dynasty assets and their place in the dynasty market. In this series, we will bring you a riser, faller, and longshot from each NFL team. We’ll cover dynasty values, positional trades, and overall team outlooks.

Let’s jump into the Arizona Cardinals!

The official rise of Michael Wilson happened during the 2025 season. In the midst of a rather pedestrian year three and speeding straight towards potential roster-clogger status, something clicked during the Cardinals’ mid-November clash with the 49ers. Wilson went off for 15 receptions and 185 yards, showcasing a great rapport with veteran quarterback Jacoby Brissett and using his detailed route-running skills to mesh with a passer who trusts his receivers to get where they need to be.

A year away from free agency, Wilson may now demand a healthy contract, be it from the Cardinals or elsewhere. Long-term quarterback questions make Arizona a murky landscape, but Wilson re-upping with the team and forming a big three of receiving weapons with Trey McBride and Marvin Harrison Jr. may be the most sensible move for both sides, especially with Harrison having yet to make the leap, with time running out for him to do so.

It is easy to pinpoint when Wilson started to soar in ADP. He was flirting with undrafted status in October, a forgettable veteran playing for an organization stuck in mud. He is now flirting with the top 50, one of the more ascendant players I can recall in my years in these dynasty streets.

Any player going into the last year of their rookie deal has an uncertain future. Wilson is due a massive raise on his AAV of $1,334,865, and the Cardinals may not want to break the bank after extending Trey McBride and with Marvin Harrison Jr heading into contract negotiations over the next year or so. There are reasons for both sides to come to the negotiating table to hammer something out, but perhaps the Cardinals feel their cap is better allocated elsewhere, given the state of their roster.

On the open market, Wilson would see a lot of interest and could be looking at a deal in the range of Romeo Doubs, who got long-term security from the Patriots. Given the issues Arizona has under center – and, well, everywhere – few dynasty managers would be heartbroken if Wilson moves on. His 2026 will assuredly be informative when it comes to his future in the desert.
