Cowboys Select Anthony Smith in the Seventh Round

Saturday, April 25, 1:36 PM

The Dallas Cowboys have selected East Carolina wide receiver prospect Anthony Smith with the 218th overall pick in the seventh round of the 2026 NFL Draft. An older prospect at 24 years old, Smith spent four seasons at NC State, followed by two at ECU. During his sixth and final collegiate campaign, he caught 64 passes for 1,053 yards and seven touchdowns. He also had a 45-yard rushing touchdown. His 40-yard dash time is in the low 4.40s, and he has the ability to stretch the field on offense. At the moment, he projects as a developmental depth receiver in Dallas, where he'll be blocked on the depth chart by players like CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, and Ryan Flournoy, among others. He can be avoided in most fantasy football leagues.

Emmanuel Henderson Jr. News

Emmanuel Henderson Jr. Impresses in Preseason Finale

Saturday, August 29, 5:52 AM

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Emmanuel Henderson Jr. caught three passes for 58 yards in Seattle's preseason finale against the Kansas City Chiefs on Friday. Henderson has been relatively quiet throughout the preseason, but the rookie took a nice step forward on Friday. Seattle has a deep stable of wide receivers behind Jaxson Smith-Njigba. As a sixth-round draft pick in 2026, Henderson will hope to be a part of the equation for Seattle this season. With uncertainty surrounding Tory Horton's undisclosed injury and Jake Bobo (knee) done for the season, Seattle will be looking for other players to step up. Henderson should not be on the fantasy radar yet, but he is a talented prospect to keep an eye on.
