The @135SportsData Dynasty Players to Watch tonight. Monday Night Football. Bears vs. Seahawks. Chicago: Luther Burden III 39th overall pick in RD 2 of the 2025 Draft, former Missouri WR who is beginning to turn exciting playmaking into weekly production. Burden enters tonight with 35 catches for 491 yards and 2 TDs, leading Chicago in both receptions and receiving yards. His two best games have come since Caleb Williams returned, including 8 catches for 95 yards against Atlanta and 4 for 130 with a TD against New England. Want to see whether Burden can continue converting manufactured touches into real receiver volume, whether his connection with Williams gives him a stable weekly floor and whether he is beginning the move toward being Chicago’s most valuable long term dynasty receiver. Chicago: Colston Loveland 10th overall pick in RD 1 of the 2025 Draft, former Michigan TE who has become much more central to the Bears passing game. Loveland has 26 catches for 244 yards and 2 TDs through seven games, but the key signal is his recent usage with at least 65 yards and a touchdown in each of his last two appearances. Cole Kmet is out for the season, leaving a clear path for Loveland to own more of the middle of the field. Want to see whether the expanded role becomes permanent, whether he can keep earning targets over Chicago’s talented receivers and whether a young first round tight end can turn this current opening into a lasting positional advantage. 135Sports⁠.com Seattle: Jaxon Smith Njigba 20th overall pick in RD 1 of the 2023 Draft, former Ohio State WR who has already removed any doubt about his alpha receiver ceiling. Smith Njigba leads the NFL with 867 receiving yards and 8 TDs while sitting second in catches with 58 through seven games. He is the first receiver of the Super Bowl era to reach at least 850 yards and 8 TDs in his team’s first seven games. Want to see whether Chicago can slow him down without giving him the explosive plays that have defined this season, whether he can sustain this historic production pace and whether the market now has to treat him as one of the very few young receivers capable of challenging for overall WR1 dynasty value. Seattle: Zach Charbonnet 52nd overall pick in RD 2 of the 2023 Draft, former UCLA RB whose season begins tonight after recovering from the torn ACL he suffered in last year’s playoffs. The immediate question is not whether he can handle a full workload in his first game back, but how quickly Seattle trusts him in a backfield that has been productive without him. His size, contact balance and receiving profile still make him a player worth tracking in deeper dynasty formats, especially if he can reclaim high value touches near the goal line. Want to see whether his burst looks fully back, whether he earns meaningful work alongside Emanuel Wilson and whether a healthy Charbonnet can rebuild standalone value before the market realizes his role is growing. 135Sports⁠.com

The @135SportsData Dynasty Players to Watch today. Afternoon slate. Chiefs vs. Broncos. Kansas City: Xavier Worthy, 28th overall pick in RD 1 of the 2024 Draft, former Texas WR who remains one of the more interesting young receiver evaluations in dynasty because the explosive profile is obvious but the target volume has not fully followed. Through six games he has 24 catches for 217 yards and a TD, including a 7 catch, 73 yard game against the Chargers before a quiet Week 7 in Seattle. The Chiefs need more than a low volume speed specialist if the offense is going to reach its ceiling, and Worthy’s draft capital plus his ability to separate vertically still leave a meaningful growth path. Want to see whether Kansas City gives him more high value opportunities against Denver, whether he can become a consistent target earner rather than a matchup dependent play and whether the current production creates a buy low point before the role expands. Kansas City: Rashee Rice, 55th overall pick in RD 2 of the 2023 Draft, former SMU WR who returns to this matchup with a chance to reclaim a major role in the Chiefs offense. He has played only three games this season but has already produced 13 catches for 190 yards and a TD, showing the same underneath toughness and yards after catch profile that made him one of Patrick Mahomes’s most trusted young weapons. The key question is how quickly Kansas City reintegrates him with Worthy, Kelce, and a deep running game all competing for touches. Want to see whether Rice immediately commands meaningful volume, whether he becomes the reliable chain moving option this offense has needed and whether the market has left enough uncertainty to create a short buy window for a player with real WR1 upside. 135Sports⁠.com Denver: Bo Nix, 12th overall pick in RD 1 of the 2024 Draft, former Oregon QB who is in the middle of a volatile but still highly relevant Year 3 dynasty season. Through seven games he has thrown for 1,271 yards with 7 TDs and 3 interceptions while adding 110 rushing yards and 2 scores. The completion rate is down to 59.2 percent and the passing efficiency has not been consistent, but the rushing element and Denver’s 5 and 2 record keep the long term path very much alive. He also showed the ceiling last week with a franchise record 62 yard touchdown run against Arizona. Want to see whether he can produce a cleaner passing game against Kansas City, whether the rushing upside remains a weekly difference maker and whether the current uneven play is a real concern or simply a temporary value dip for a young starting quarterback. Denver: Troy Franklin, 102nd overall pick in RD 4 of the 2024 Draft, former Oregon WR who is trying to turn increasing snaps into actual production in Year 3. He has just 5 catches for 66 yards through seven games, but his offensive snap share has climbed to 54 percent over the past three weeks after sitting near 30 percent earlier in the season. That is not enough to call him a breakout, but it is enough to keep the talent and his prior connection with Nix on the dynasty radar. Want to see whether the increased routes finally lead to targets, whether Denver can create more downfield opportunities for him and whether this is the start of a second half value recovery rather than another year of being buried in a crowded receiver room.

youtube.com/shorts/fI2bSryYr… Christian Watson caught a 53 yard pass, broke a rib and left Lambeau Field in an ambulance. Forty-five minutes later, he returned to Lambeau, re-entered the game and converted a critical third and 2 with 2:33 remaining. The seven yard catch forced Carolina to use its final timeout and helped Green Bay finish its 27-19 win.

The @135SportsData Dynasty Players to Watch tonight. Thursday Night Football. Panthers vs. Packers. Carolina: Chuba Hubbard, 126th overall pick in RD 4 of the 2021 Draft, former Oklahoma State RB who is again carrying a true lead back workload for Carolina. Through six games he has 96 carries for 459 yards and 4 TDs, while adding 15 catches for 112 yards and 2 more scores. Jonathon Brooks is on IR, leaving Hubbard as the clearest path to both rushing volume and passing game work despite Carolina playing behind an injured offensive line. Want to see whether he can maintain the heavy touch share against Green Bay, whether the receiving usage keeps providing a startable weekly floor and whether the market is fully pricing in his value as a productive lead back while Brooks remains unavailable. Carolina: Bryce Young, first overall pick in the 2023 Draft, former Alabama QB who entered this season with a real chance to move from volatile young starter into a more stable dynasty asset. Through six games he has thrown for 1,712 yards with 12 TDs and 4 interceptions, but last week’s 43 to 13 loss to Tampa Bay was a reminder that Carolina’s offensive environment can still turn quickly. Young finished with 163 yards, one TD and two interceptions in that game. Want to see whether he can reset against Green Bay, whether he can keep generating efficient production despite the protection issues and whether the talent around him can support the long term rise that his early season play suggested. 135Sports⁠.com Green Bay: Savion Williams, 87th overall pick in RD 3 of the 2025 Draft, former TCU WR whose role has begun to grow after missing the first four games of the season. He has 7 catches for 79 yards and 4 carries for 13 yards, with all of that production coming across the last two games. The Packers have a crowded receiver room, but Williams brings a different type of big body and movement skill profile than the other options, and Matthew Golden’s questionable status could create another opening tonight. Want to see whether Green Bay keeps finding manufactured touches for him, whether his route role can grow beyond gadget usage and whether the second year player can create a durable dynasty value window in a deep offense. Green Bay: Josh Jacobs, 86th overall pick in RD 3 of the 2019 Draft, former Alabama RB who made his season debut last week after missing Green Bay’s first six games. He immediately produced 93 yards from scrimmage and a receiving TD against Detroit, but the Packers still need their rushing attack to become a consistent part of the offense. Carolina has struggled against the run, making this the right game to see whether Jacobs can reclaim real feature back usage. Want to see whether Green Bay gives him a full workload this quickly, whether the target involvement remains part of the profile and whether a productive second game can restore his contender value before the market fully adjusts.
