The first round of the 2026 NFL Draft is officially in the books, and the fantasy football landscape has been completely reshaped! The crew was live on the FantasyPros YouTube channel, breaking down every selection pick-by-pick. The episode features our analysis from the stream on every fantasy-relevant selection from Round 1. Listen to our thoughts on what these landing spots mean for your Redraft and Dynasty leagues.

We’re diving deep into the massive RB shakeups in Arizona and Seattle, the Raiders' new franchise signal-caller, and which wide receivers landed in the best positions to produce on Day 1. Whether you're preparing for a 2026 rookie draft or looking for an edge in your home league, this episode is essential listening.
