De'Zhaun Stribling

De'Zhaun Stribling received the draft capital boost fantasy managers crave, but his profile still carries more risk than his post-draft hype suggests. The 49ers clearly believe in the former Ole Miss receiver, yet concerns remain about his age, production profile, target-earning ability, and path to immediate volume in a crowded offense. Stribling's ADP has climbed rapidly because of landing spot and draft capital, but those factors alone do not guarantee fantasy success. He remains a worthwhile swing if he falls in rookie drafts, though expectations should be tempered for immediate production.

The San Francisco 49ers have selected WR De’Zhaun Stribling with the No. 33 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

Fantasy Impact

After trading out of round one, San Francisco makes its first pick of this year's draft. Stribling was a very productive receiver in college at Ole Miss. He'll be joining a 49ers wide receiver room that is likely to lose Brandon Aiyuk this offseason. He'll have an opportunity to potentially earn an immediate big role as a rookie.
