Day 1 of the 2026 NFL Draft is in the books. That means it’s time to start dynasty rookie drafts. While that’s an exaggeration, it is time to start thinking about dynasty rookie drafts, especially after 10 fantasy football players were selected on Thursday night.
However, let’s look at the 10 best remaining dynasty rookie prospects that fantasy football players should watch for on Day 2 of the 2026 NFL Draft.

Fantasy Football | Dynasty Rookie Best Remaining Players to Watch (Day 2)
1) Denzel Boston (WR – Washington)
It’s disgusting that Boston didn’t get drafted on Day 1. The former Washington star shouldn’t be on the board very long on Friday night. The San Francisco 49ers, Buffalo Bills, Las Vegas Raiders, and New York Giants pick in the first five selections on Friday and could all use a wide receiver. Hopefully, he lands with the 49ers as they lack a long-term No. 1 pass catcher. The next-best landing spot is the Raiders, who don’t have a go-to weapon in the passing game other than Brock Bowers.
2) Germie Bernard (WR – Alabama)
Several teams will have interest in Bernard early on Day 2, so don’t expect him to be on the board for very long on Friday night. He would be an excellent fit in several offenses, including the Kansas City Chiefs, who have the eighth overall pick in the second round. Another team to keep an eye on is the Los Angeles Rams. They passed on a wide receiver in the first round and could trade both their Day 2 picks and move up for the former Alabama star.
3) Chris Bell (WR – Louisville)
Bell suffered a torn ACL last season at Louisville. Unfortunately, the injury possibly kept him from going on the first night of the NFL Draft. However, he should be ready for the start of training camp. Bell reminds some scouts of A.J. Brown, which should excite fantasy players. Even if he doesn’t become a superstar, Bell has the tools to be a potential WR3 in fantasy football. The former Louisville star would jump up in my dynasty rankings if he gets drafted by the Miami Dolphins at pick 43rd overall.
4) Mike Washington Jr. (RB – Arkansas)
Thankfully, Jadarian Price came off the board at the end of the first round, giving the dynasty rookie class some much-needed juice. However, the third running back might not get drafted until the end of the second round or the top of the third. Washington’s athletic profile is elite, running a 4.33 40-yard dash at 223 pounds at the NFL Combine. He would provide some much-needed speed and big-play abilities to the Houston Texans backfield. They have two picks on Day 2, including one late in the second round.
5) Eli Stowers (TE – Vanderbilt)
No one was surprised that only one tight end got drafted on Day 1. Stowers is the clear-cut No. 2 tight end in the draft class and potentially the only one to get drafted on Friday night. Two teams to keep an eye on are the Miami Dolphins (43rd overall) and the Baltimore Ravens (45th overall). Both teams could use help at the tight end position. Stowers would be the perfect replacement for Isaiah Likely, especially with Mark Andrews starting to slow down and a lack of depth behind him.

6) Zachariah Branch (WR – Georgia)
Some believe Branch will slip in the NFL Draft after being charged with two misdemeanor obstruction charges over the weekend. However, he should still get picked on Friday night. The former Georgia star would be a solid Wan’Dale Robinson replacement in New York, especially if they trade back from their early second-round pick. The Washington Commanders would be an excellent landing spot for Branch if he slides into the third round. Terry McLaurin is the only notable wide receiver on the roster after they passed on Jordyn Tyson last night.
7) Antonio Williams (WR – Clemson)
Williams is one of my favorite wide receiver prospects in the draft class. He could go anytime on Day 2, starting with the New York Giants at 37th overall. His floor is likely the Pittsburgh Steelers with the first of their three third-round picks. However, I would love to see the former Clemson star land with the San Francisco 49ers or Los Angeles Rams at the end of the second round. Both teams have an aging wide receiver room and could make Williams a fantasy football star early in his career.
8) Jonah Coleman (RB – Washington)
Unfortunately, the 2026 running back class lacks depth, especially compared to last year’s group. Coleman likely won’t come off the board until the mid-third round. He is a scoring machine, totaling 25 rushing touchdowns during his two years at Washington, recording at least 10 in both seasons. Coleman could land in several fantasy-friendly spots in the third round, starting with the Tennessee Titans at 69th overall. Another appealing landing spot is with the Washington Commanders, picking at 71st overall, pairing him with Jacory Croskey-Merritt and Jayden Daniels in the backfield.
9) Chris Brazzell II (WR – Tennessee)
No one should be surprised if 10 or more wide receivers get drafted on Friday night, as the draft class is deep. Brazzell will be one of those wide receivers, potentially coming off the board as early as the mid-second round. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers could use a bigger wide receiver after losing Mike Evans in free agency. However, an underrated fantasy landing spot is the Green Bay Packers. Christian Watson is injury-prone. Furthermore, he and Jayden Reed are heading into the final year of their contracts in 2026.
10) De’Zhaun Stribling (WR – Ole Miss)
One of the biggest risers in the draft over the past two weeks is Stribling. Some will be shocked to see him get drafted on Friday night. He had over 50 receptions for at least 800 receiving yards and six touchdowns in back-to-back years despite playing at two different schools. Stribling could come off the board in the second round, but is more likely to last until the third. The ideal landing spot would be with the Buffalo Bills at 66th overall as a vertical threat for Josh Allen.
