Training camp is right around the corner and brings with it new information for each team as players battle for opportunities. Dynasty rankings will be shaken as news comes out every day, and fantasy gamers will attempt to get ahead of their leaguemates. Instead of waiting until that time comes, today we’ll predict which players you should buy now before the camp gets underway and the price increases.

The Best Pre-Camp Values
Window of Opportunity | Rashee Rice, Chiefs WR
I’ve done a 180º on Chiefs’ wide receiver Rashee Rice, and it’s all because his price has dropped significantly. We know that when Rice has been on the field, he’s been highly productive. Over his three seasons, his PPR PPG has increased each year, starting at 13.3 as a rookie, then 16.2 in his sophomore season, and 18.8 last year. The concern is how long his production will last since Andy Reid’s offense somewhat manufactures it, and whether his off-the-field issues will interfere. Earlier in the offseason, Rice was maintaining value, but over time, he’s become increasingly inexpensive.
Rashee Rice is rehabbing his knee in jail. Gets out Tuesday! If he comes out healthy and stays out of trouble… 1,000 yards is ABSOLUTELY in play. We’ve seen what this guy can do when he’s locked in!🔒🔥#ChiefsKingdom

Soon enough, we’ll have news that Rice is out on the practice field looking healthy, and everyone will forget why we had any pause. The risk that Rice gets in his own way again and receives a suspension is real. But when he’s valued as a WR3 like he is now, it’s easier to withstand that risk. His current price is one where it won’t hurt much to be wrong. Tier “down” to Rice using Rome Odunze or Marvin Harrison Jr. while getting another asset added on top. You could also work cross-positionally by buying him with players like Bucky Irving or Baker Mayfield.
Strike Before Camp | Malik Washington, Dolphins WR
Malik Washington entered the NFL after a highly productive collegiate career but has yet to make an impact. Stuck behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle as a rookie in 2024, Washington’s snaps were few and far between. In 2025, his playing time increased with Hill out, but the Dolphins’ offense struggled, and Washington did little, scoring 6.9 PPR PPG.
Heading into the 2026 season, Washington is suddenly an important piece of the offense. With Waddle traded away and the Dolphins only adding a couple of third-round picks to compete with him, it could be his time.

Because of his size and skill set, Washington is a bit limited as a player and is more of a floor play. However, at his cost — which is practically free — that’s fine! Washington has a real chance to be the Dolphins’ leading pass-catcher in 2026, and that need can emerge during training camp. Even in a (presumably) low-volume passing offense, it wouldn’t be crazy for him to average upwards of 10 PPR PPG as an underneath target hog. Realistically, you should be able to acquire Washington for a fourth-round rookie draft pick (or less). He may even be on your waiver wire. It’s hard to find production that is that affordable.
Buy the Dip | Rhamondre Stevenson, Patriots RB
Count me among those who love TreVeyon Henderson, but there’s no denying that Rhamondre Stevenson played great in 2025 and had a stranglehold on the backfield late in the season. Over his last nine games, including the playoffs, Stevenson averaged 17.1 PPR PPG on only 14.4 opportunities a game. It was possibly the best Stevenson has ever played, too. Among running backs in 2025, he finished No. 3 in Yards per Touch, ninth in Yards Created per Touch, and fourth in Fantasy Points per Opportunity. Despite this, Stevenson is held down in dynasty rankings due to Henderson’s potential.

You’d imagine the Patriots want Henderson to command the majority of backfield opportunities. He’s more likely to be part of the future plans in addition to this season, and they have more draft capital invested in him. But this is a backfield where both Henderson and Stevenson can survive. The Patriots can have one of the best offenses in the league, and the two of them combined for over 2,000 yards and 19 touchdowns in 2025. Stevenson could put up RB2 numbers, but you can tier down to him with Rico Dowdle, Zach Charbonnet, and Blake Corum
Target the Overlooked | Brian Robinson, Falcons RB
During his time in the NFL, Brian Robinson has been a solid (if unexciting) running back. Considering his cost over the years, he’s been a nice value at the position, with two seasons over 11 PPR PPG. Before the 2025 season, however, the Commanders decided they wanted to move on from him and traded him to the 49ers, where he spent the season as Christian McCaffrey‘s backup. This offseason, with his rookie contract up, Robinson signed with Atlanta to be their RB2. He’s shown the ability to handle a full workload and produce with it if anything happens to Bijan Robinson.
Brian Robinson is certifiably one of the best handcuffs in fantasy football now. That’s a running back every dynasty manager should want on their team. If anything happens to Bijan Robinson, he’ll instantly project as an RB2 or better. There might not be much training camp news that will change Robinson’s price much, but this is a player I want to make sure I get in on before his price increases to where it should be. Tier down from Tyjae Spears, Jordan Mason, or Braelon Allen to Robinson.
Still Got Juice | Dallas Goedert, Eagles TE
Soon, people are going to realize that Dallas Goedert has a good chance to finish as a top-12 tight end yet again this season with A.J. Brown out of town. Maybe training camp will be that time. DeVonta Smith is getting all the hype, and rightfully so, but Goedert should be getting it too. In the five games that Brown missed and Goedert played, the latter averaged 14.9 PPR PPG. The Eagles added Makai Lemon and Eli Stowers in the draft this year, and that adds competition for Goedert, but neither looks to be in line to steal from him.
Dallas Goedert had opportunities to go elsewhere this offseason but instead he came back to the Eagles on a one-year contract for Year 9 of his career.
And he figures to be a very important piece of the puzzle on offense.https://t.co/11vyVIkXqb

We’ve already seen Brown, Smith, and Goedert produce together, so swapping out Brown for Makai Lemon can’t really be worse for the big tight end. Eli Stowers is an exciting player, too, but he’s only a tight end in name. Stowers is more likely to be a big slot receiver and isn’t actually competing with the mainstay. Goedert may only be with Philadelphia in 2026 and then have to move on to a new team afterward, but he should have no problem finding a starting job if that happens. There’s little reason to be concerned about the future, either. Tier down to Goedert with Jake Ferguson, Mark Andrews, or AJ Barner.
