Dynasty | With the 47th selection, the Pittsburgh Steelers take WR Germie Bernard Dynasty Analysis: As a bit of a do-it-all option, Germie Bernard should be able to line up wherever DK Metcalf and Michael Pittman are not. This is a great WR3 option for whoever takes quarterback snaps in 2026, and threads the needle of helping the offense without necessarily dropping the Dynasty value of Metcalf or Pittman all that much. They should continue to operate as respective WR3 and WR4/5 fantasy options unless/until Bernard takes a big jump.

Dynasty | With the 54th overall pick, the Philadelphia Eagles select TE Eli Stowers Dynasty Analysis: Dallas Goedert was brought back to the Eagles with a one-year deal, and this just about seals the deal that he won't be in Philadelphia in 2027. Entering his age-31 season, Goedert was already beginning to get phased down Dynasty rankings, and this addition should continue to solidify him as a low-end TE2.

Dynasty | The Los Angeles Rams select TE Max Klare with the 60th overall pick. Dynasty Analysis: This is some wild behavior for the Rams, who already have five tight ends on the team at the time of the selection. This simultaneously kicks Terrance Ferguson's Dynasty value while also severely limiting Max Klare's value before he even steps onto the field. Those two, as well as Colby Parkinson, have slight appeal as wait-and-see options in TE Premium leagues, but they will all be tough holds otherwise.

Dynasty | The Arizona Cardinals select QB Carson Beck with the 65th-overall pick Dynasty Analysis: "Nominal" is the keyword here, as Gardner Minshew probably provides just as much, if not more, competition for actual starts in 2026. Beck is thought of as an older prospect who has likely already shown us all of his traits at this point, and those traits are questionable at best. Brissett still remains as a SuperFlex QB3/4 who can be used as a spot starter in deeper leagues.

Dynasty | The Washington Commanders select WR Antonio Williams at the beginning of the third round. Dynasty Analysis: Antonio Williams did most of his damage from the slot through his collegiate career (78.0% slot rate over four seasons), so this may actually help insulate Terry McLaurin's role along the outside more than it hinders his Dynasty value. Another weapon for Jayden Daniels could go a long way toward keeping McLaurin in WR3 range as he heads into the dangerous age-curve 30s of his career.

Dynasty | In the early third round, the New Orleans Saints select TE Oscar Delp. Dynasty Analysis: At first glance, we see the Georgia tag next to Oscar Delp, but even after Brock Bowers left for the NFL, Delp never managed to catch more than 25 catches in a season. This is still not great news for Juwan Johnson's long-term Dynasty value, but his new rookie teammate is more likely to be used as a blocker than a serious threat to Johnson's 2026 target share.

Dynasty | In the early third round, the New York Giants trade up to select WR Malachi Fields. Dynasty Analysis: Luckily for Malik Nabers, Malachi Fields' game does not really overlap Nabers'. Fields is a big-body receiver who should give Jaxson Dart a big catch radius as a true X receiver. Nabers is still a top-tier WR1 Dynasty option, and this selection could end up helping the offense on the whole.

Dynasty | In the middle of the third round, the Atlanta Falcons select WR Zachariah Branch. Dynasty Analysis: As a screen-merchant, slot guy who gets a lot of work from behind the line of scrimmage, the addition of Zachariah Branch shouldn't cause any drop in value for Drake London. Instead, Branch presents an opportunity for Kevin Stefanski to try to mold a legit receiver out of a very quick offensive "weapon". Drake remains in the Dynasty WR1 conversation.

Dynasty | In the middle of the third round, the Carolina Panthers select WR Chris Brazzell. Dynasty Analysis: The writing might be on the wall for Xavier Legette's time in Carolina. Chris Brazzell has a great size/speed profile and can operate as a big-play threat in the vertical game. So, most of what Legette was supposed to be coming out of the Draft. Legette was already living on the Dynasty roster bubble and might just need to hit the waiver wire if he's not already there.

Dynasty | In the middle of the third round, the Baltimore Ravens select WR Ja'Kobi Lane. Dynasty Analysis: The Baltimore Ravens take another stab at a lanky wide receiver, this time hoping to clean up some inconsistencies in Ja'Kobi Lane's game. Zay Flowers' target share should be safe for now, though this could end up continuing to cap potential red zone usage, even with so many of their tight ends moving on in free agency. Flowers should still be considered a fringe WR2/3 in Dynasty.

Dynasty | In the middle of the third round, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers select WR Ted Hurst. Dynasty Analysis: Ted Hurst presents a lot of ceiling in the long run, but he still needs quite a bit of work to become a complete NFL receiver. Luckily, he'll have some great options to learn from, including Emeka Egbuka, who remains a fringe WR1/2 Dynasty asset despite the selection.

Dynasty | Near the end of the third round, the San Francisco 49ers select RB Kaelon Black. Dynasty Analysis: Deja vu all over again. The 49ers select yet another mid-round running back, this time non-Combine invite Kaelon Black, and with Christian McCaffrey tearing up the fantasy landscape when he's on the field, not many of them have seen much playing time (and the addition of Brian Robinson didn't help last year). We'll once again have to wonder if this is a special teams addition or an actual threat to CMC's workload. It's probably best to assume the latter and keep McCaffrey in top-15 range for contending teams.

Dynasty | The 49ers drafted wide receiver De'Zhaun Stribling with the 33rd overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Dynasty Analysis: Stribling was a stunning pick at the top of the secound round. The fact he was one pick away from being taken in the first round combined with the fact he went ahead of other receivers like Denzel Boston and Germie Bernard was downright shocking. The draft capital alone is going to vault him way up from where he was pre-draft - somewhere in the WR15-WR20 range. Dynasty managers will need to simply be convinced NFL teams knew more than we did prior to the draft.

Dynasty | The Cleveland Browns drafted Washington wide receiver Denzel Boston with the 39th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Dynasty Analysis: The Browns selected Boston with the 39th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. With just Jerry Jeudy, Cedric Tillman and Isaiah Bond on the roster, Cleveland added both Boston and KC Concepcion to round out their receiver room. There were better landing spots for Boston simply because of the historical revolving door at quarterback with Cleveland but he should have a chance to contribute early. Boston looks like a late first or early second round rookie pick at this point.

Dynasty | The Steelers drafted Alabama wide receiver Germie Bernard with the 47th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Dynasty Analysis: The Steelers apparently lost out on Makai Lemon in round one but stood pat and ended up with a nice consolation prize in round two. Bernard has been very productive in his time with both Washington and Alabama and this is a great landing spot for him. Aaron Rodgers traditionally does not love dealing with rookies but Bernard could be an exception based on his experience (and if Rodgers even returns). Bernard's draft stock likely rose into the mid-second round at worst based on his landing spot.

Dynasty | The Philadelphia Eagles drafted tight end Eli Stowers with the 54th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Dynasty Analysis: Stowers was taken by the Eagles in round two and could be the heir apparent to Dallas Goedert, who is currently on just a one-year deal. After a solid combine, it wasn't a shock to see Stowers be the TE2 this year but this landing spot could be a little bit of a surprising one. Stowers likely won't produce a ton this season but could be a really good stash in dynasty leagues for managers who are patient. He looks like a second or third round rookie pick when all is said and done.

Dynasty | The Los Angeles Rams drafted tight end Max Klare with the 61st overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Dynasty Analysis: This is a very interesting selection as Klare was highly regarded in the pre-draft process but fell behind a few others who most didn't have on the radar at all. Klare may start out buried on the depth chart but dynasty managers willing to spend a mid-round pick on him and wait it out could be rewarded.

The New England Patriots selected Notre Dame tight end Eli Raridon with the 95th overall pick late in the third round in the 2026 NFL draft on Friday evening. All four of Raridon's collegiate seasons came with the Fighting Irish, and he accumulated 48 catches for 623 yards and only three touchdowns in his 40 total games. The 22-year-old dealt with some knee injuries early in his collegiate career, but he was healthy in his junior and senior seasons and had 32 receptions for a career-high 482 yards in 12 games in 2025, although he didn't score a single touchdown. At the very least, the 6-foot-6, 245-pounder will give young quarterback Drake Maye a big target in the passing attack next to Hunter Henry after Austin Hooper left in free agency this offseason. Raridon should enter his rookie season as the TE2 in New England behind Henry as the Pats look to get back to the Super Bowl. Raridon is developing as a pass-catcher. He won't be on the fantasy radar in redraft leagues unless Henry misses time with an injury.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have selected Georgia State wide receiver prospect Ted Hurst with the 84th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. He contributed during both of his seasons in the Sun Belt Conference, totaling 127 catches for 1,965 yards and 15 touchdowns. This is more of a developmental selection for the Bucs, as Hurst has a history of drops and may deal with some adversity while adjusting to the NFL style of play. With that said, he has impressive upside in a Bucs offense that loves spreading the ball around to multiple receivers. Presumably, Hurst will have a chance to immediately compete for the No. 4 receiver role behind Emeka Egbuka, Chris Godwin Jr., and Jalen McMillan. He's the overall WR90 in RotoBaller's latest dynasty fantasy football rankings.

The Miami Dolphins have selected Ohio State tight end prospect Will Kacmarek with the 87th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Kacmarek spent three years at Ohio before joining the Buckeyes for his final two collegiate seasons. He had just 15 catches and two touchdowns during his final year at school, but he snuck his way into Day 2 of the draft because of his blocking ability. Widely regarded as the best blocking tight end in this year's draft, Kacmarek will provide plenty of protection for Malik Willis and De'Von Achane in a Dolphins offense that is expected to adopt a run-heavy approach in 2026. Although he should make an impact right away in the trenches, there's not much fantasy appeal here. He ranks outside the top 85 tight ends in RotoBaller's latest dynasty rankings, and he can be avoided in most rookie drafts.
