2026 NFL Draft Rounds 2-3 Reactions: Fantasy Football Impact (Ep. 2003)

The FantasyPros Fantasy Football Podcast delivers a deep dive into Rounds 2 and 3 of the 2026 NFL Draft, analyzing the fantasy football implications of key selections. The episode opens with shock over the San Francisco 49ers selecting Ole Miss wide receiver John Stribling in the second round, with hosts calling it a 'ridiculous' and 'idiotic' pick given his limited production and low draft stock. The Cleveland Browns' double-dip at wide receiver with Denzel Boston and Casey Concepcion is hailed as a masterclass, with analysts praising the offensive depth and potential for high fantasy output. The Philadelphia Eagles' selection of Vanderbilt tight end Eli Stowers is celebrated as a top-tier fantasy landing spot, especially with AJ Brown gone and Dallas Goedert's future uncertain. In contrast, the Jacksonville Jaguars' pick of Texas A&M's Nate Burkenhiker is condemned as a 'terrible pick,' while the Los Angeles Rams' second-round selection of Ohio State tight end Max Clair is criticized as an overcommitment to tight ends given their existing depth. The episode also covers underwhelming picks like Drew Aller by the Dolphins and Zachariah Branch by the Falcons, with hosts expressing disappointment in the lack of high-upside fantasy talent. Overall, the draft is seen as a mixed bag, with strong moves by the Browns and Eagles offset by questionable decisions by the Rams and Jaguars.
