Broncos Draft Jonah Coleman at No. 108 Overall
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.

Chargers Select Brenen Thompson in the Fourth Round
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.

Jermod McCoy Falls to the Raiders in the Fourth Round
The Las Vegas Raiders have selected Tennessee cornerback prospect Jermod McCoy (knee) with the 101st overall pick in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft. McCoy was once regarded as an elite prospect and potential top-10 pick, but he fell to Day 3 because NFL teams were concerned that he would require a future surgery to replace a bone plug used to repair a cartilage defect in his knee. An additional surgery would jeopardize his rookie season and also have a negative effect on his career. By pick No. 101, the Raiders decided that was a risk worth taking, and they came to terms on a trade with the Bills to move up one slot and select McCoy. He hasn't played since 2024, when he logged 44 tackles and four interceptions across 13 games with the Volunteers.

Adonai Mitchell's Fantasy Relevance Slipping Away?
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 Still the Starting Running Back in Tennessee?
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.

Mason Taylor Falls a Rung Down the Depth Chart
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.

Dallas Geodert's Future in Philadelphia Jeopardized by Tight End Selection?
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert's chapter with the team could be approaching its end. Goedert was drafted by the Eagles in 2018, and it appears that he could be embarking on his ninth and final season with the organization. Philadelphia re-signed him to a one-year deal this offseason. It seemed like a decision that was made to buy the Eagles time to find his replacement for 2027 and beyond. Indeed, the Eagles drafted a younger and more affordable tight end on Friday night. With the 54th overall pick in the draft, Philadelphia selected Vanderbilt tight end prospect Eli Stowers, who had 111 catches for 1,407 yards and nine touchdowns over his final two seasons at school. We don't expect the presence of Stowers to impact Goedert's redraft value in 2026, but it certainly will drop him a few spots in the long-term dynasty rankings. As it stands, the 31-year-old is working to build off last year's TE7 finish in PPR leagues -- his first top-10 ranking since 2019.

Jerry Jeudy Falling to No. 3 Role on Depth Chart?
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.

49ers Still Trying to Trade 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.

Is Jalen Hurts Poised for a Bounce-Back in New-Look Offense?
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's Long-Term Upside Now in Doubt
Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet (knee) 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 by 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.

Is DeVonta Smith Still the Long-Term WR1 in Philadelphia?
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.

Can Chris Olave Continue to Dominate Target Share?
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.

Where Will Makai Lemon Slot into Crowded Group of Philadelphia Pass-Catchers?
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 complementary 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.

Patriots Select Tight End Eli Raridon With 95th Overall Pick
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.
