Hey!
A handful of guys had their 2026 fantasy outlook flip overnight because of Day 2 of the NFL Draft.
Here's who matters most:
#1 Chris Bell & Caleb Douglas (Winners)
Both wide receivers went in Round 3 to Miami, and there's a real chance both end up starters at some point this season.
Don't forget what the Dolphins WR room currently looks like. They traded Jaylen Waddle this offseason and released Tyreek Hill. The room going into the draft was Malik Washington, Jalen Tolbert and Tutu Atwell.
Bell is a high-upside receiver coming off a torn ACL. He has speed, size, and physicality you notice on every snap. Douglas brings unique size, great speed, and an above-the-rim game built on contested catches and redzone work.
Both of these guys could start in 2026…
#2 The Veteran RBs (Winners)
Quinshon Judkins, Tony Pollard, Cam Skattebo, Javonte Williams, Chuba Hubbard, Chase Brown and the Commanders RBs. They are all winners.
All of them dodged new competition through Day 1 and Day 2. In fact, only 1 running back was even drafted on Day 2 (Kaelon Black to the 49ers).
That's about as clean as it gets for veteran fantasy backs…
#3 Antonio Williams (Winner)
He lands on a Commanders depth chart that didn't add a Round 1 or Round 2 WR.
Their projected WR room is Terry McLaurin, Dyami Brown, Treylon Burks, Luke McCaffrey and Williams.
There's a real world where he beats out McCaffrey, who's coming off a season-ending broken collarbone, for the starting slot job to open the year.
Williams is a stud slot WR with NFL-level IQ at getting open against zone coverage. The comp floating around is Ladd McConkey or Randall Cobb…
#4 Jerry Jeudy, Cedric Tillman & Isaiah Bond (Losers)
The Browns just used more recent and stronger draft capital on Wide Receivers Denzel Boston and KC Concepcion.
That hurts the upside of the rest of the depth WRs in Cleveland, and they're still attached to what could be a shaky QB situation…
#5 Jayden Reed (Winner)
He signed a 3-year extension over draft weekend that locks him in as a top option in Green Bay this year.
Not to mention, the Packers haven’t added any pass-catchers on Day 1 or Day 2.
Reed profiles as a Top 2 receiver on the team to open the season. The question now, does this kind of investment get him into more 2-WR sets in 2026?…

#6 Browns QBs (Winners)
Whoever wins this job just got a real gift.
The Browns added Denzel Boston in Round 2, after grabbing KC Concepcion and elite tackle Spencer Fano in Round 1. Free agency also brought in Zion Johnson (G), Tytus Howard (RT) and Elgton Jenkins (C) up front.
The WR room is now Jerry Jeudy, KC Concepcion, Denzel Boston, Isaiah Bond and Cedric Tillman.
Boston is your prototypical X with elite ball skills, strong catch radius, and a real weapon in the redzone…
#7 DJ Moore (Winner)
The Bills were a real landing spot to watch for a WR as early as Round 1, and they passed on both Day 1 AND Day 2.
Moore continues to be a sneaky fantasy option right now as Josh Allen’s #1 receiver…
#8 Tank Dell (Winner)
Despite missing all of 2025 with a serious injury, the Texans didn't see the need to add any real WR competition in this draft.
They'll roll with Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel entering Year 2, Nico Collins, and Dell projects as the starting slot competing with Noel for that role heading into 2026…
#9 Jalen Hurts (Winner)
Yes, he's losing AJ Brown after June 1st, but the Eagles NFL Draft haul was strong for Hurts and the offense.
Philly added WR Makai Lemon, TE Eli Stowers, Tackle Markel Bell in the draft. They also added Dontayvion Wicks and Marquise Brown via free agency and trades.
All things considered, this situation is still solid for Hurts entering 2026…
#10 Dallas Goedert (Loser)
The Eagles drafted the extremely athletic and productive TE Eli Stowers in Round 2.
Goedert was brought back on a 1-year deal. This is almost certainly his last with the team. Don't be shocked if he takes a back seat later in the season as Stowers gets comfortable and earns more snaps…
#11 De'Zhaun Stribling (Winner)
Taken with the first pick of Round 2 by the 49ers, this was a better landing spot AND draft capital than most expected.
This one's less about 2026 and more about what happens once Mike Evans is gone.
Stribling should open the year as Evans backup, with San Francisco likely running Evans, Ricky Pearsall and Christian Kirk in 3-WR sets.
Stribling is a big, explosive WR who produced across 3 different college programs…
