The 2026 case is entirely about opportunity, not production banked so far. With the room thin behind the top options and Andy Reid praising his camp work after first-team reps, there's a real lane to climb the rotation. Projections still peg him as a deep flier near pick 281 (roughly WR116) at around 28. Full outlook

Jalen Royals Rest-of-Season Outlook
depth WR for deep leagues only
Preseason Projection vs. Reality
He finished WR214 last season at 0.3 points per game.
Our Take After Week 4
Through 2 games he's WR98 at 5.3 PPR points per game, against 0.3 over 7 games last season (WR214). He's running ahead of last season's pace.
He's WR2 on the depth chart, so his value depends on the players ahead of him.
Read our preseason outlook (June 2026)
Published June 17, 2026. Kept for reference; the take above replaces it.
Royals' rookie line barely registers: two appearances, 34 routes, a 5.4% route share, and three targets that produced two grabs for four yards. The advanced markers are as cold as the box score, with a minus-0.542 EPA per play, a 0% success rate, and 0.12 yards per route run. Snap rate sat at 19% and his WOPR (0.012) confirms he was an afterthought in the passing game, finishing 216th at the position.
The 2026 case is entirely about opportunity, not production banked so far. With the room thin behind the top options and Andy Reid praising his camp work after first-team reps, there's a real lane to climb the rotation. Projections still peg him as a deep flier near pick 281 (roughly WR116) at around 28.9 PPR points. Don't spend draft capital here; stash him on the watch list and pounce off waivers if the targets and Mahomes chemistry finally arrive.
