Good morning, fantasy football listeners. We've got some exciting developments in the lead-up to the NFL Draft that could significantly impact your 2026 fantasy strategy.
Let's start with the rookie class. According to ESPN's Mike Clay, Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love is leading the rookie rankings for 2026, and the buzz around him is intensifying. Bleacher Report is reporting that Love could go as high as number four overall, with the Tennessee Titans potentially pairing him with quarterback Cam Ward. Sports Illustrated also highlights USC wide receiver Makai Lemon as having top-five potential, though Love stands out as the rookie with the highest fantasy upside this season.
At tight end, Oregon's Kenyon Sadiq is generating significant attention as a freak athlete who could be selected in the top ten. FantasyPros reports that Vanderbilt's tight end prospect is expected to be the second tight end drafted next week after Sadiq, having hauled in 62 passes for 769 yards and four touchdowns last season.
On the established player front, there are several roster moves reshaping fantasy value. The Miami Dolphins are building their offense around newly signed quarterback Malik Willis, according to ESPN, with running back De'Von Achane remaining a foundational piece. Dolphins GM Jon-Eric Sullivan expressed excitement about tight end Greg Dulcich, noting he had a strong finish to last season and wants to see if he can build on that momentum.
In Green Bay, wide receiver Matthew Golden is positioned for a bigger role in 2026 following a quiet rookie season. ESPN's Rob Demovsky reports that with Romeo Doubs departing in free agency and Dontayvion Wicks traded to Philadelphia, Golden is the favorite for a starting outside spot opposite Christian Watson.
For running backs, the San Francisco 49ers' Jordan James appears to be the frontrunner for top backup this season after an injury-plagued summer limited his opportunities last year. Meanwhile, in Jacksonville, the Jaguars signed Chris Rodriguez Jr., creating debate about his fantasy value compared to second-year back Bhayshul Tuten.
One intriguing storyline involves Travis Hunter with the Jaguars. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport confirmed that the team plans to play Hunter full-time at cornerback and part-time at receiver this coming season, easing him back from a knee injury sustained in Week 7.
