Summary
Chris Welsh and Derek Brown were joined by The Athletic's Jake Ciely to break down the best early-round draft strategies, targets and roster builds for the 2026 season. Should you leave the first four rounds with two running backs and two wide receivers? Is an RB-RB start the way to attack the back of Round 1? Or should you take advantage of elite WR value and adjust your strategy as the draft unfolds? The guys build teams from different draft positions and debate some of the biggest names on 2026 fantasy football draft boards, including Ja'Marr Chase, Brock Bowers, James Cook, Chase Brown, Christian McCaffrey, Javonte Williams, Chris Olave, Jaylen Waddle, Emeka Egbuka and more.
