The first round of the 2026 NFL Draft has come and gone. If you’re looking for grades for first-round prospects, look no further. But we’re onto Day 2 and there are still plenty of notable prospects for redraft and dynasty fantasy football. Yahoo analyst Joel Smyth is grading the fantasy football fit for every relevant prospect drafted on Friday.
Round 2WR De’Zhaun Stribling, Ole Miss
Team: San Francisco 49ers

If you include the draft capital leap, it’s an A+ landing spot for Stribling. After Jauan Jennings and the 49ers failed to reach a long term agreement, San Francisco takes a WR who is a YAC monster who gets to enjoy the Shanahan system.
Rankings, projections and takeaways for 1st round fantasy prospects
WR Denzel Boston, Washington
Boston to Cleveland means he becomes more of a dynasty rebuild option only. An outside WR that’s a red-zone threat rather than a YAC creator requires stability at quarterback and a good scoring offense, which Cleveland does not have. KC Concepcion being drafted in front of him does not help either.
WR Germie Bernard, Alabama
Team: Pittsburgh Steelers

Bernard is more of a long-term dynasty pick with DK Metcalf, Michael Pittman Jr. and Aaron Rodgers at the core. He does fit what Rodgers wants, a smart player who can be relied on, especially in the quick passing game. He’s not the flashiest receiver, but he doesn’t make many mistakes either.
TE Eli Stowers, Vanderbilt
Team: Philadelphia Eagles
With Dallas Goedert on a one-year deal, Eli Stowers looks to be the long-term replacement as another superb athlete at TE. Outside of his own rookie season with Zach Ertz, Goedert has been a fantasy TE1 in every year with the Eagles. Maybe new play-caller Sean Mannion can bring some of the Tucker Kraft upside to Philly.
TE Nate Boerkircher, Texas A&M
Team: Jacksonville Jaguars

Even with second round draft capital, Boerkircher isn’t expected to make a big dent in fantasy. He’ll be an in-line blocking TE in a heavy 3WR offense with Brenton Strange as a receiving TE.
TE Marlin Klein, Michigan
Houston isn’t selecting Klein to be their next receiving TE, but to have a blocking role. Klein scored 1 TD in his four years at Michigan.
