Pat Bryant News
Monday, June 22, 8:28 AM
A third-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Denver Broncos wide receiver Pat Bryant recorded 31 catches for 378 yards and a touchdown across 15 games (seven starts) as a rookie. The 23-year-old saw his involvement in the Denver passing game grow down the stretch of the season, as he averaged four catches and 45 receiving yards on six targets per game over his final five contests. However, Bryant's place in the Broncos' target pecking order took a hit over the offseason when the team traded for star wide receiver Jaylen Waddle from the Miami Dolphins. Entering 2026, Bryant appears to be battling with Troy Franklin for the WR3 role in Denver behind Waddle and veteran Courtland Sutton. In the immediate, Bryant's production upside is likely limited. Still, with Sutton entering his age-31 season in 2026, Bryant's eventual path to a significant role in Denver remains clear. For rebuilding dynasty managers, Bryant is a worthwhile target.

De'Zhaun Stribling News
Wednesday, June 17, 6:01 AM
The San Francisco 49ers' selection of Ole Miss wide receiver De'Zhaun Stribling with the first pick of the second round of the 2026 NFL Draft was viewed by many as one of the bigger reaches of the entire draft, but landing with one of the league's most respected combinations of quarterback and playcaller in Brock Purdy and Kyle Shanahan, Stribling is well-positioned to make an early impact. With Shanahan operating heavily out of 12 and 21-personnel sets, his wideouts in two-receiver formations have naturally seen an uptick in efficiency. While one of those spots is all but guaranteed to go to free agent acquisition Mike Evans, Stribling needs to beat out only Ricky Pearsall and Christian Kirk for something close to an every-down role. Stribling's size and tenacity as a blocker make him an obvious candidate to inherit Jauan Jennings' vacated role, and he could prove to be one of the better values in an underwhelming 2026 draft class. As RotoBaller's dynasty WR57, he is a low-cost target in rookie drafts or startups who could pay immediate dividends, particularly if All-Pro tight end George Kittle requires an extended ramp-up period to begin the year.
