    Lamar Jackson Apr 25 1:50pm ET
    Lamar Jackson

    The Baltimore Ravens have selected SMU tight end prospect Matthew Hibner with the 133rd overall pick in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft. The Ravens traded up to acquire this selection from the 49ers in exchange for the 154th overall pick and a 2027 sixth-rounder. Hibner was a late bloomer in college football. After catching just two passes across three seasons with Michigan, he transferred to SMU, where he totaled 55 catches, 804 yards, and eight touchdowns over two years (27 games). Hibner offers the Ravens positional versatility, as the team can move him all around the formation. He should pair nicely with Mark Andrews after Baltimore watched Isaiah Likely and Charlie Kolar depart in free agency. The Ravens have made a concerted effort to supply Lamar Jackson with big-bodied targets in the draft this year. He might not have fantasy relevance right away, but there's some dynasty appeal here, especially since Hibner has a chance to be the eventual successor to Andrews.

    Skyler Bell Apr 25 1:30pm ET
    Skyler Bell

    The Buffalo Bills have selected University of Connecticut wide receiver prospect Skyler Bell with the 125th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. He'll provide another weapon for quarterback Josh Allen in a revamped Bills offense led by coordinator-turned-head coach Joe Brady. Bell has extensive experience contributing at the collegiate level, including three years with Wisconsin and two with UConn. During his final NCAA season in 2025, he caught 101 passes for 1,278 yards and 13 touchdowns. He was the only player in the country to rank among the top five in all three categories: catches, receiving yards, and receiving touchdowns. He has impressive speed and a good vertical, allowing him to play in the slot or outside. He'll presumably have a chance to compete for the No. 3 receiver role behind DJ Moore and Khalil Shakir.

    Mike Washington Jr. Apr 25 1:20pm ET
    Mike Washington Jr.

    The Las Vegas Raiders have selected Arkansas running back prospect Mike Washington Jr. with the 122nd overall pick in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Washington joins a backfield that lacks much depth behind former first-rounder Ashton Jeanty. Washington will presumably compete for the backup role with Dylan Laube, the New Hampshire product who has just 27 scrimmage yards through two seasons. Washington has experience as a productive ball-carrier at a Power 4 program, amassing 1,070 rushing yards, 226 receiving yards, and nine touchdowns with the Razorbacks in 2025. Depending on whether the Raiders make any other backfield additions this offseason, Washington could have immediate dynasty appeal as the handcuff behind Jeanty, especially in an upward-trending Raiders offense led by No. 1 pick Fernando Mendoza.

    Cade Klubnik Apr 25 12:50pm ET
    Cade Klubnik

    The New York Jets have selected Clemson quarterback prospect Cade Klubnik with the 110th overall pick in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft. The Jets moved up to this slot via trade with the Cincinnati Bengals. In full, the Jets acquired the 110th and 199th picks from the Bengals in exchange for the 128th and 140th picks. Selecting Klubnik is a relatively low-risk move with upside for the Jets, whose current quarterback is Geno Smith. We don't see any path to Klubnik starting over Smith by Week 1, but the rookie could start generating some buzz if Smith struggles down the stretch this season. A three-year starter at Clemson, Klubnik finished the 2025 campaign with a 65.6% completion rate, 2,943 passing yards, 16 passing touchdowns, and six interceptions across 12 games. His stats took a major step back from 2024, when he had 36 passing touchdowns. The Jets are hoping he can return to that form, especially if he opens his career as a developmental backup.

    Brenen Thompson Apr 25 12:40pm ET
    Brenen Thompson

    The Los Angeles Chargers have selected Mississippi State wide receiver Brenen Thompson with the 105th overall pick in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Thompson had an explosive 2025 season with the Bulldogs, catching 57 passes for an SEC-leading 1,054 receiving yards. He also had six receiving touchdowns and one rushing touchdown. He'll presumably slot into the No. 4 receiver spot on the depth chart behind Ladd McConkey, Quentin Johnston, and Tre' Harris. While he's buried in the pecking order for now, he certainly has long-term dynasty appeal, especially in an offense quarterbacked by Justin Herbert. Thompson entered this year's draft as the overall WR146 in RotoBaller's latest dynasty fantasy football rankings.

    Jonah Coleman Apr 25 12:40pm ET
    Jonah Coleman

    The Denver Broncos have selected Washington running back Jonah Coleman with the 108th overall pick in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Coleman was a consistent contributor across his four years of college, including two with Arizona and two with Washington. Over the last three seasons, he amassed 3,496 yards and 33 touchdowns. He made 17 trips to the end zone in 2025 alone. Coleman will slot into the third spot on this specific Broncos depth chart, but he has an every-down skill set. He's a capable rusher and productive receiver who has demonstrated a clear ability to score touchdowns. The newest Broncos running back is an intriguing dynasty target, especially if J.K. Dobbins deals with more injury issues and Coleman jumps into the backup role behind RJ Harvey.

    Caleb Douglas Apr 25 12:13pm ET
    Caleb Douglas

    Dynasty | The Dolphins drafted wide receiver Caleb Douglas with the 75th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Dynasty Analysis: In a draft that looks like it's full of massive reaches, this one was a big one. Douglas had a solid combine but most had him as a late third day pick or undrafted free agent prospect. The Dolphins clearly saw something many didn't and the fact he was taken in the top 75 puts him on the rookie draft radar.

    Adonai Mitchell Apr 25 11:50am ET
    Adonai Mitchell

    New York Jets wide receiver Adonai Mitchell is quickly losing grasp of the fantasy relevance that he possessed during the back half of the 2025 season. Mitchell was traded from the Colts to the Jets midseason, and he responded by emerging as their top receiver with Garrett Wilson sidelined. He had six-plus targets in six of his last seven games in 2025, ranking as the overall WR31 in PPR leagues during that span. Unfortunately for Mitchell and his fantasy managers, not only is Wilson healthy again, but there are plenty of other new additions that will steal targets from the 23-year-old. Most notably, the Jets drafted tight end Kenyon Sadiq and wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr. in the first round. Wilson, Sadiq, and Cooper should all operate ahead of Mitchell in the pecking order, and he'll presumably also lose targets to Mason Taylor and Breece Hall. Dynasty managers might be able to salvage a little trade compensation by selling high on Mitchell's second half last year, but his outlook going forward is relatively bleak. He's certainly not on the redraft radar for 2026.

    Tony Pollard Apr 25 11:40am ET
    Tony Pollard

    Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard appears to remain atop the depth chart following the first three rounds of the 2026 NFL Draft. The Titans entered the draft with plenty of needs on their roster, and running back ranked near the middle in terms of priority. After they selected a wide receiver fourth overall and didn't draft a running back on Day 2, it appears that the Titans are content with a backfield featuring Pollard and Tyjae Spears next year. Both backs will chip into each other's workloads, but Pollard remains the favorite to carve out a fantasy-relevant role. Now 28, Pollard is coming off a solid season in which he ranked as the overall RB23 with 1,288 scrimmage yards and five touchdowns. From Week 14-18, he was the overall RB11, scoring three touchdowns and delivering three 100-yard performances during that span. He has also accumulated 1,000+ rushing yards and a top-24 running back finish in each of the last four seasons. Heading into his eighth NFL season, Pollard continues to possess fantasy appeal as the Titans' primary ball-carrier in an upward-trending offense.

    Jerry Jeudy Apr 25 11:30am ET
    Jerry Jeudy

    Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy's volume took a massive hit after the team selected two wide receivers within the first 39 picks in the 2026 NFL Draft. The Browns selected Texas A&M's KC Concepcion with the 24th overall pick on Thursday, and less than 24 hours later, they drafted Washington's Denzel Boston with the 39th overall pick. These moves are part of the Browns' clear effort to revamp their wide receiver room after an atrocious 2025 season. The Browns ranked last in the NFL in wide receiver yards last year, and Jeudy is a big reason why. Instead of being the clear-cut No. 1 receiver that many people expected, Jeudy produced just 50 catches, 602 yards, and two touchdowns. Time and time again, the former first-round pick has proven that he's incapable of handling a bigger role. Despite numerous opportunities, he has ranked as the WR47 or lower in four of his six seasons. The new coaching staff's decision to inject the offense with new, young weapons could spell disaster for any remaining fantasy value that Jeudy had. He should drop outside the top 50 wide receivers in dynasty fantasy football rankings.

    Mason Taylor Apr 25 11:30am ET
    Mason Taylor

    New York Jets tight end Mason Taylor saw his fantasy value take a hit on Thursday night. The Jets used one of their three first-round picks on Oregon tight end Kenyon Sadiq, an athletic pass-catcher who was regarded as the top draft prospect at his position. Sadiq had 51 catches, 560 yards, and eight touchdowns just last year at Oregon, and he should slot in as the Jets' No. 1 tight end immediately. That pushes Taylor down to No. 2, just 12 months after the Jets spent a second-round pick on him. It's tough news for dynasty managers, as it had seemed like Taylor was trending up following his 44 catches, 369 yards, and one touchdown as a rookie last year. Instead, the 21-year-old LSU product will fall to second on the depth chart, taking him off the fantasy radar in most leagues as long as Sadiq is healthy.

    Brandon Aiyuk Apr 25 11:20am ET
    Brandon Aiyuk

    The San Francisco 49ers are still "hoping and trying" to trade wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk this offseason, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com. There had been plenty of speculation that Aiyuk would be released before the draft, and when that didn't happen, questions started arising about his future with the organization. Then, the 49ers selected Mississippi wide receiver De'Zhaun Stribling with the 33rd overall pick, and that all but confirmed Aiyuk remains a non-factor in the team's future plans. At this point, it remains unclear how long the 49ers will wait to find a trade partner. Presumably, they would want this entire Aiyuk saga to be resolved sooner rather than later, and potential trade partners would also like to get a deal done so that they can know what their roster will look like next season. The end of the draft could be a turning point in negotiations, so we wouldn't be surprised to see Aiyuk dealt in the next week or so. He hasn't played an NFL snap since 2024, when he tore his ACL seven games into a 25-catch, 374-yard campaign.

    Jalen Hurts Apr 25 10:10am ET
    Jalen Hurts

    Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has finished as the fantasy QB9 or better in each of the past five seasons, but even with a Super Bowl victory in 2024, there is mounting pressure on the seventh-year veteran to show more as a professional passer. While Hurts still has three years left on the extension he signed back in 2023, the deal includes no guaranteed money after the upcoming 2026 season, and the team is rumored to be looking for improvement both on the field and as a leader before further investing in him. While it seems nearly inevitable that the Eagles will move on from A.J. Brown after June 1st, they have made significant steps to fill the void his absence will leave. After acquiring Marquise Brown and Dontayvion Wicks via free agency and trade, the team spent its first two picks on USC wide receiver Makai Lemon and pass-catching Vanderbilt tight end Eli Stowers. Both players led their teams in targets in 2025 and, along with DeVonta Smith and Saquon Barkley, will provide Hurts with playmakers at all levels of the field. Hurts' 421 rushing yards, eight rushing touchdowns, and 39 first downs on the ground in 2025 were the lowest since his rookie season, but the spacing created by Philadelphia's revamped crop of pass-catchers could open lanes to reinvigorate that element of his game. Having already shown the ability to be a league-winner, his new surrounding cast and an expected sense of urgency could help to make the 27-year-old Hurts a smart buy at his current price of RotoBaller's dynasty QB6.

    Zach Charbonnet Apr 25 10:00am ET
    Zach Charbonnet

    Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet tore his ACL in the team's Divisional Playoff win over the 49ers, but even with his availability in doubt to begin the season, if he could have gotten through the first two days of the 2026 NFL Draft without seeing a running back selected to Seattle, he would have been in the best position of his young career. That obviously did not happen, with the Seahawks spending their first-round pick on Notre Dame running back Jadarian Price. With only four total selections heading into the draft, Seattle was tabbed as a team likely to trade back, but they felt enough conviction to use the 32nd overall pick on Price, an indication that he will likely be given starter's reps out of the gate and should be viewed as the future of the position in the Emerald City. With Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III departing in free agency, the presumed path to a Charbonnet starting role, once back and healthy, involved merely beating out low-money free agent acquisition Emanuel Wilson, 2023 7th-round pick Kenny McIntosh, and 2024 undrafted free agent George Holani. As the second running back off the board in this year's draft, Price now represents a significantly sturdier barricade to overcome. Even as the less efficient option in the pair, Charbonnet found moderate fantasy success splitting the backfield with Walker, and he has a chance to reclaim a similar role in year one under new offensive coordinator Brian Fleury. That said, any hopes of a featured role in Seattle have all but disappeared with the drafting of Price, and Charbonnet enters the final season of his rookie contract as a high-end RB3 in dynasty leagues.

    DeVonta Smith Apr 25 9:50am ET
    DeVonta Smith

    For the first time since his 2021 rookie year, Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith is expected to go into a season without three-time Pro Bowl receiver A.J. Brown lined up opposite him. While Brown's 8.4 vacated targets per game from the past four seasons could create opportunities for a career year from Smith, the first two days of the NFL Draft have completely reshaped Philadelphia's pass-catching depth chart. After acquiring Marquise Brown through free agency and Dontayvion Wicks via trade, the Eagles spent respective first and second-round picks on USC receiver Makai Lemon and Vanderbilt tight end Eli Stowers, both of whom led their teams in targets in 2025. In a year where quarterback Jalen Hurts is being counted on to take a step forward, Philadelphia is likely to see a more even distribution of targets, but given his skillset and time in the system, Smith should still be able to hold off all challengers to continue earning targets at an elite level. After leading the team in all receiving categories as a rookie, Smith's response to the addition of Brown via trade from the Titans was to put up the best season of his career, with 110 receptions for 1,393 yards and eight touchdowns in 2022. At 27 years old, if he can respond similarly to a new challenge in 2026, he would be a steal as RotoBaller's dynasty WR28.

    Chris Olave Apr 25 9:30am ET
    Chris Olave

    New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave finished 2025 as the fantasy WR6, largely on the strength of a 27.3% team target share, and he came into the offseason as the undisputed top option in New Orleans. The addition of Travis Etienne Jr. in free agency will add a wrinkle to Kellen Moore's evolving offense, but having topped a 10% target share only once in his four professional seasons, he posed no major threat to Olave's week-winning volume. The same can not be said about some of the talent added through the first two nights of the NFL Draft. The Saints selected Arizona State wide receiver Jordyn Tyson with the eighth overall pick and added Georgia tight end Oscar Delp in the third round. While durability concerns shaded Tyson's profile heading into the draft, many believe he has the most upside of any receiver in a deep 2026 class, and Delp is thought to have untapped potential as a pass catcher after being utilized predominantly inline by the Bulldogs. Since being selected in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft, Olave has never faced significant target competition. Even while missing 13 games across his first four seasons, Olave's 111.5 targets per season radically outpaced the 53.5 per year average of the team's WR2 over that time. While the Saints have long involved their tight ends and running backs in the passing game, the offense they are building around Tyler Shough will provide answers at all levels of the field and make him less reliant on any one player. While Olave still has a claim as the most talented receiver on the team, the 9.4 targets per game that he earned, partly out of necessity, in 2025 could very well stand as a career-high.

    Makai Lemon Apr 25 9:20am ET
    Makai Lemon

    When the Philadelphia Eagles traded up to select USC wide receiver Makai Lemon with the 20th pick of the 2026 NFL Draft, they got a player who spent his final collegiate season as the unquestioned Alpha in Lincoln Riley's pass-heavy Trojans offense. In his Biletnikoff Award-winning season, Lemon earned a 26.8% target share, even while taking the field with another early NFL pick in Ja'Kobi Lane, who the Baltimore Ravens selected in the third round on Day 2. Moving to the next level, Lemon is unlikely to see that sort of opportunity as a rookie. The Eagles threw the ball at the sixth-lowest rate in the league in 2025 and were one of only nine teams with fewer than 500 total pass attempts. While the presumed trade of three-time Pro Bowl receiver A.J. Brown will open up 127 targets from 2025, the Eagles have revamped their receiver room on the fly, adding Marquise Brown and Dontayvion Wicks through free agency and trade, and after drafting Lemon on Day 1, they added the pass-catching tight end Eli Stowers in the second round. Incumbent receiver DeVonta Smith is still the safest bet to lead the team in targets in 2026, but Lemon represents his most significant competition both long-term and in the here and now. Given their complimentary skill sets, It's possible that Smith and Lemon could form a new one-two punch in Philadelphia, with the rest of the new additions settling into more periphery supporting roles, which would still make Lemon one of the most valuable selections in dynasty rookie drafts.

    Jacoby Brissett Apr 25 4:13am ET
    Jacoby Brissett

    Dynasty | The Arizona Cardinals drafted quarterback Carson Beck with the first pick of the third round in the 2026 NFL Draft. Dynasty Analysis: On the surface, it's hard to find a better landing spot than Arizona since they currently look like a team ready to start Jacoby Brissett again this season. However, if Brissett falters, Beck will have to perform welll quickly if Arizona throws him in the mix if they fall out of contention. The harsh reality is next year's quarterback class is considered one of the best in years and Beck would need to play well enough to keep Arizona out of the top half of the draft to look like a long-term answer. Regardless, he's going to be a decent late round pick in conventional leagues and a decent dart throw in the middle of Superflex leagues.

    Dynasty | The Bears drafted tight end Sam Roush with the 69th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Dynasty Analysis: The good news is Roush was taken higher than most expected, drafted by the Bears in the third round. The bad news is he's stuck behind Colston Loveland and Cole Kmet on the depth chart, making him a huge project player. As such, Roush really won't move up much on dynasty draft boards and looks like a bit of a dart throw in rookie drafts.

    Dynasty | The Washington Commanders drafted wide receiver Antonio Williams with the 71st overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Dynasty Analysis: Wiliams fell a little in the draft but may have landed in the perfect spot. If he can put his health problems behind him, he's landed on a depth chart ripe with opportunities opposite Terry McLaurin. Time will tell if someone like Brandon Aiyuk joins Washington as well, but this seems like a solid pick and Williams looks like a second round draft pick in rookie formats as a result.
