Ian Hartitz and Dwain McFarland discuss the impact of the 2026 NFL Draft on fantasy football rankings, highlighting risers and fallers among rookies and veterans.

The 2026 NFL Draft is done and fantasy football draft boards need a complete overhaul. Ian Hartitz and Dwain McFarland go through every landing spot that moved the needle — identifying the rookies and veterans whose fantasy value is rising and the ones whose value just took a hit.Which rookies landed in smash spots? Which veterans just lost their jobs or gained new competition? And which landing spots were so bad they dropped a player's fantasy ranking entirely? We cover it all so you can adjust your rankings before your next draft.
