MUST DRAFT Wide Receiver & Tight End Rookies | Impact Players, Dynasty Holds + Late-Round Sleepers (Ep. 2005)

In this episode of the FantasyPros Fantasy Football Podcast, hosts Joey P., Pat Fitzmaurice, and Jake Seeley dive into the 2026 NFL Draft, focusing on rookie wide receivers and tight ends with long-term dynasty potential and late-round sleepers. The discussion kicks off with a deep dive into Chris Bell, a 6'2", 222-pound receiver drafted by the Miami Dolphins, whose upside is hampered by a torn ACL and raw route-running skills, but whose landing spot offers significant target volume. The trio also highlights Ted Hurst (Buccaneers), Max Clare (Rams), and Xavier Thomas (Bears) as high-upside, long-term investments, with debates around playing time, role definition, and team schemes. For deep-league stashes, they spotlight Riley Nowakowski (Steelers), Bryce Lance (Saints), Colby Young (Bengals), and Brennan Thompson (Chargers), emphasizing their under-the-radar profiles, unique skill sets, and potential to break out in favorable situations. The episode concludes with a strong push to use FantasyPros’ Draft Simulator and subscribe to their new channels, including Dynasty and Tailgate NFL 2, for ongoing post-draft analysis and community engagement.
