Hey!
The biggest event of the NFL offseason is officially in the books, and the fantasy landscape just got flipped on its head.
Here are the biggest winners (and a few losers) coming out of the NFL Draft:
#16 Brock Bowers
The Raiders waited until Round 6 to address WR, finally grabbing Malik Benson. The current WR room? Tre Tucker, Jack Bech, and Jalen Nailor. That's it.
Bowers profiles as an elite 2nd round fantasy pick, he's about to be the engine of this entire passing offense...
#15 Josh Downs
Indy didn't take a pass-catcher until Round 7. They also already traded Michael Pittman away.
The only WR additions all offseason were free agent Nick Westbrook and 7th-round pick Deion Burks. Downs is locked in as a 2WR set staple this season...
#14 Jadarian Price (RB)
Price landed in Seattle with 1st round draft capital, that alone tells you how the Seahawks view him.
No more Kenneth Walker. No Zach Charbonnet until November. Price should be the Week 1 starter ahead of Emanuel Wilson and George Holani...
#13 Cam Skattebo
The Giants not taking on Jeremiyah Love is a massive win for Skattebo.
It gets even better because New York spent a Top 10 pick on tackle Francis Mauigoa to give him a real lane to run behind.
When Skattebo played 50%+ of snaps last year, he averaged 19.1 fantasy points per game. He's starting Week 1...
#12 Geno Smith
Geno just got handed a serious upgrade with TE Kenyon Sadiq and WR Omar Cooper.
Sadiq is a freak athlete who profiles as a "big slot." Cooper is a physical WR with elite YAC ability.
Add in Garrett Wilson + Breece Hall and Geno suddenly has one of the most improved skill groups in football...
#11 Cam Ward
The Titans grabbing Carnell Tate in Round 1 is huge for Ward. Tate brings elite hands, strong body control, and a polished skill set on Day 1.
The new WR room: Wan'Dale Robinson, Chimere Dike, Calvin Ridley, and Tate. Way more versatile, way more upside for Ward entering Year 2…
#10 Chris Olave
Olave just had a Top 10 prospect dropped into his WR room in Jordyn Tyson.
Olave thrived on volume last year, he finished 5th in the NFL in targets. With Tyson now in the mix, that target ceiling takes a real hit...
#9 Quinshon Judkins
No new RB competition entering 2026. His main threat is Dylan Sampson now that Jerome Ford left in free agency.
The Browns also used Pick 9 on tackle Spencer Fano, the best run blocker in this class.
And they added Zion Johnson, Elgton Jenkins, and traded for Tytus Howard. A healthier Judkins behind a rebuilt line is a serious smash target...

#8 Rashee Rice
The Chiefs were a potential landing spot for Carnell Tate or Jordyn Tyson in Round 1. They didn't land either guy.
In fact, KC didn't add a WR until Day 3 with Cyrus Allen in Round 5. That's it. No real threat to Rice.
They also didn't sign a single WR in free agency, which tells you they aren't sweating his off-field stuff. Rice averages 18 fantasy points per game the last 2 years when healthy...
#7 DJ Moore
The Bills were a potential Round 1 WR landing spot. They didn't pull the trigger Day 1 or Day 2. Buffalo's only WR addition was Skyler Bell in Round 4.
DJ Moore is quietly a sneaky fantasy option right now as Josh Allen's #1 WR...
#6 Nicholas Singleton (RB)
The Titans grabbed Singleton in Round 5 and he's the rare Day 3 RB with real upside.
His competition? 29-year-old Tony Pollard, and Tyjae Spears, who has a long-term knee issue and constantly battles injuries.
Singleton is just 18 months removed from being one of the best RBs in college football: 1,474 total yards and 17 touchdowns in 2024...
#5 Chris Bell (WR)
The Dolphins took Bell in Round 3 and there's a strong chance he's a Day 1 starter.
Miami already traded Jaylen Waddle and released Tyreek Hill. Their top WRs entering the draft were Malik Washington, Jalen Tolbert, and Tutu Atwell.
Bell is a high-upside receiver coming off a torn ACL. He’s known for size, speed, and the pure physicality he plays with...
#4 David Montgomery
The Texans didn't draft a single RB. That's a massive vote of confidence in Monty.
They also spent their 1st round pick on the offensive line. Expect heavy workhorse usage for Montgomery in 2026...
#3 Jalen Hurts
Hurts is likely going to lose AJ Brown in the next few weeks. But overall, the draft was a win for him. The Eagles added WR Makai Lemon and TE Eli Stowers early.
Both fit new OC Sean Mannion's offense perfectly...
#2 Antonio Williams
Williams landing with the Commanders in Round 3 is a quiet win.
There's still a real chance Washington adds Brandon Aiyuk before Week 1. But right now, Williams has a legit shot at the WR2 role behind Terry McLaurin...
#1 Tank Dell
Despite missing all of 2025 with a serious injury, the Texans didn't bother adding any real WR competition on Day 2.
They're rolling with Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel in Year 2, Nico Collins, and Dell. Tank quietly won the NFL Draft...
A few more names to keep on your radar:
Winners: Javonte Williams, Chuba Hubbard, Mark Andrews, Caleb Douglas, Tyler Shough, Jayden Reed.
Losers: Tyler Allgeier / James Conner, Dontayvion Wicks, Dallas Goedert, Harold Fannin, Tyjae Spears, RJ Harvey.
