TE DJ Rogers is signing with the Dallas Cowboys as an undrafted free agent. (Source: Tom Pelissero on X)
Fantasy Impact: Rogers, who played collegiately at TCU, is coming off of his best season in 2025 when he caught 34 passes for 319 yards and two touchdowns. Dallas is returning Jake Ferguson and Luke Schoonmaker as its top two tight ends, so Rogers will be competing for depth at the position.
The Denver Broncos have selected TE Dallen Bentley with the No. 256 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. (Source: NFL.com)
Fantasy Impact: The Denver Broncos took Justin Joly earlier on Day 3 of the 2026 NFL Draft. While Dallen Bentley won't have much fantasy value, the former Utah tight end will provide the Broncos with solid blocking in the run and pass game.
The Indianapolis Colts have selected WR Deion Burks with the No. 254 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
Fantasy Impact: Burks had a great combine, finishing in the top percentiles of every drill specific to receivers. He runs fluid routes and has good hands and speed. He caught a career-best 57 passes in his final season in Oklahoma last season. He joins a Colts' wide receiving room that is wide open for competition entering 2026, so it's possible he could get some looks right out of the gate.
The Kansas City Chiefs have selected QB Garrett Nussmeier with the No. 249 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. (Source: NFL.com)
Fantasy Impact: The Kansas City Chiefs always make the smart draft pick. Patrick Mahomes is coming off a torn ACL, while Justin Fields has been a wildly inconsistent passer. Garrett Nussmeier was expected to be a mid-round pick. Now, he will likely be Mahomes' backup for the next few years. Nussmeier is worth stashing in deeper dynasty superflex leagues.
The Cleveland Browns have selected TE Carsen Ryan with the No. 248 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
Fantasy Impact: Ryan established career-highs in receptions (45) and receiving yards (620) while tying a career-high with three touchdowns for BYU last season. He has good size (6-4, 250) and developed into a receiving threat for the Cougars in his final season. He'll provide depth at tight end for the Browns in 2026.
The New England Patriots have selected RB Jam Miller with the No. 245 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. (Source: NFL.com)
Fantasy Impact: The New England Patriots have one of the better running back duos in the NFL. However, Antonio Gibson is no longer with the team, and the Patriots don't have a clear-cut No. 3 running back on the roster. Jam Miller will provide depth and could see meaningful touches if TreVeyon Henderson or Rhamondre Stevenson misses time with an injury.
The Indianapolis Colts have selected RB Seth McGowan with the No. 237 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
Fantasy Impact: McGowan is a tough, physical runner who keeps his legs moving through contact. He can catch passes out of the backfield - though not the strongest area of his game - but, he is good in pass protection and is willing to block would-be pass rushers. McGowan ran for 725 yards and 12 touchdowns at Kentucky in 2025 and joins the Colts to compete for a backup role to Jonathan Taylor in Indianapolis.
The New England Patriots have selected QB Behren Morton with the No. 234 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. (Source: NFL.com)
Fantasy Impact: The only quarterbacks on the New England Patriots’ roster are Drake Maye and Tommy DeVito. Behren Morton will give offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels a developmental project that could become Maye's backup in a year or two.
The Pittsburgh Steelers have selected RB Eli Heidenreich with the No. 230 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
Fantasy Impact: Heidenreich played at Navy and concluded his career with 1,440 combined rushing and receiving yards in his senior season. He lined up primarily as a wing back in Navy's offense, so he didn't do a lot of running between the tackles. Heidenreich does have very good hands as a receiver, catching 51 passes for 941 yards last season for the Midshipmen. He'll provide depth at running back for the Steelers.
The Tennessee Titans have selected TE Jaren Kanak with the No. 225 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. (Source: NFL.com)
Fantasy Impact: The Tennessee Titans found a diamond in the rough last year with the selection of Gunnar Helm in the fourth round. However, they did lose Chigoziem Okonkwo in free agency. Jaren Kanak provides some depth at the tight end position for Cam Ward, but he likely never has meaningful fantasy value.

The Washington Commanders have selected QB Athan Kaliakmanis with the No. 223 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
Fantasy Impact: Kaliakmanis finished his four-year collegiate career completing 56.3% of his passes for 8,604 yards and 55 touchdowns in two seasons at Minnesota and two at Rutgers. He is coming off of a year that saw him complete a career-best 62.2% of his passes at Rutgers. Kaliakmanis protects the ball well and has above average arm strength with a quick release. Jayden Daniels is the starter in Washington, but Kaliakmanis will compete with Marcus Mariota and Sam Hartman for the QB2 role in 2026.
The Cincinnati Bengals have selected TE Jack Endries with the No. 221 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. (Source: NFL.com)
Fantasy Impact: The Cincinnati Bengals have tried to find a long-term answer at tight end for the past several years. Mike Gesicki is locked in as the team's top receiving tight end, but he is potentially heading into his last year with the Bengals. Jack Endries likely won't have any meaningful value in redraft leagues but could be a starter for a Joe Burrow-led offense in 2027, making him an appealing late-round dynasty rookie draft pick.
The Houston Texans have selected WR Lewis Bond with the No. 204 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. (Source: NFL.com)
Fantasy Impact: The Houston Texans have a crowded wide receiver room, headlined by Nico Collins. Lewis Bond will provide depth as a rookie, but will likely need a couple of injuries to see significant playing time with Jayden Higgins, Jaylin Noel, and potential Tank Dell clearly ahead of him on the depth chart.
The Jacksonville Jaguars have selected WR CJ Williams with the No. 203 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
Fantasy Impact: Williams established career-highs in receptions (59), receiving yards (749), and touchdowns (6) in his only season at Stanford in 2025. He had recorded only 35 catches between USC and Wisconsin in his first three seasons. He'll provide more depth at wide receiver for the Jaguars in 2026.
The Seattle Seahawks have selected WR Emmanuel Henderson Jr. with the No. 199 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. (Source: NFL.com)
Fantasy Impact: The Seattle Seahawks used the first of their two sixth-round picks on Emmanuel Henderson Jr. The selection is puzzling, as the Seahawks have solid depth at the wide receiver spot with Jake Bobo and Tory Horton behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Cooper Kupp, and Rashid Shaheed. Unfortunately, Henderson likely won’t have any fantasy value early in his career.
The Minnesota Vikings have selected RB Demond Claiborne with the No. 198 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
Fantasy Impact: Claiborne earned All-ACC honors at Wake Forest in 2025 after rushing for 907 yards and 10 touchdowns as a senior. He finished his four-year career with 2,599 yards rushing and 26 scores with the Demon Deacons. He has breakaway 4.37 speed and uses his compact frame to locate lanes and find holes. He also caught 55 passes out of the backfield in his career and brings some return game experience with two career kick returns for touchdowns.
The Los Angeles Rams have selected WR C.J. Daniels with the No. 197 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. (Source: NFL.com)
Fantasy Impact: Many thought the Los Angeles Rams would use their first-round pick on a wide receiver. Instead, they waited until the sixth round to give Matthew Stafford some options on the depth chart behind Puka Nacua and Davante Adams. C.J. Daniels finished second on the team with seven receiving touchdowns last year at Miami. He will compete with Jordan Whittington and Xavier Smith for snaps behind the two superstar wide receivers.
The Las Vegas Raiders have selected WR Malik Benson with the No. 195 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
Fantasy Impact: Benson's game is built on speed as he ran a 4.37 40-yard dash at this year's Combine. The wide receiver played at Oregon last season and averaged 16.7 yards per catch on 43 receptions while hauling in a career-best six touchdowns. Benson also has experience returning punts, and took one for a touchdown last season with the Ducks. Benson will be part of the receiving corps and could be a deep threat for Fernando Mendoza to throw to in 2026.
The Jacksonville Jaguars have selected WR Josh Cameron with the No. 191 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. (Source: NFL.com)
Fantasy Impact: The Jacksonville Jaguars have a plethora of wide receivers after investing first-round picks in back-to-back years on Brian Thomas Jr. and Travis Hunter. They also have Jakobi Meyers and Parker Washington, leaving little to no opportunity for Josh Cameron to have a fantasy impact without significant injuries to the team's wide receiver corps.
The New Orleans Saints have selected WR Barion Brown with the No. 190 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
Fantasy Impact: Brown has tremendous speed and can stretch the field offensively at the wideout position. He caught a career-high 53 passes in his only season at LSU in 2025, but was utilized primarily underneath. He also had some drop issues in college and will need to clean that up. However, Brown may be his most explosive on special teams where he returned six kicks for touchdowns in his collegiate career. He averaged 36.0 yards per kickoff return and took three back to the house in 2023 with Kentucky. Brown is a dynamic player who should contribute immediately on kick and punt returns.
