Sam Roush News
Friday, April 24, 5:38 PM
The Chicago Bears have selected Stanford tight end prospect Sam Roush with the 69th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. He joins a relatively crowded tight end room that already features 2025 first-rounder Colston Loveland and veteran Cole Kmet. There's still a fit for Roush here, as he's more of a blocker while the Bears' returning tight ends excel as pass catchers. With that being said, he did get more involved as a receiver during his final season at school, catching 49 passes for 545 yards and two touchdowns. He excelled most in pass blocking, where he posted a 68.8 PFF grade. With Loveland and Kmet presumably ahead of Roush on the depth chart, it might be a little while before the Stanford product makes a consistent fantasy impact. He entered the draft outside the top 85 tight ends in RotoBaller's dynasty rankings, and he figures to remain an afterthought in fantasy football because of the landing spot.

Dallen Bentley News
Saturday, April 25, 3:56 PM
The Denver Broncos have selected Utah tight end Dallen Bentley with the 256th overall pick in the seventh round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Tight end was considered a major need for the 2025 AFC West champions, and after spending a fifth-round pick on NC State's Justin Joly, the Broncos doubled up at the position. After making only three catches across his first two seasons at Utah, Bentley was one of the team's leading receivers in 2025, finishing his final season with 620 yards and six touchdowns on 48 receptions. While not a dominant blocker, he has the traits of an NFL tight end and has a real chance to make the team as the final offensive player selected in 2026. With Denver holding the final two picks of the draft, Bentley also has some claim to split the Mr. Irrelevant title with new teammate Red Murdock.
