Award-Winning Fantasy Football Advice

The New England Patriots selected Alabama RB Jamarion Miller in Round 7 of the 2026 NFL Draft. Despite leading Alabama in rushing each of the past two seasons, he averaged just 48.8 yards per game in that span. Efficiency never spiked either, with 4.6 yards per carry as a junior and 3.9 as a senior. That’s underwhelming output for a top-5 RB recruit in the 2022 class, per 247Sports. Among the 20 RBs invited to the NFL Combine, Miller ranked ninth in 2025 rushing market share (44.1%), and 19th in yards after contact per attempt (2.45). He ranked 16th in 2025 missed tackles forced per attempt (0.17) and 14th in receiving yards per route run (0.75). He will turn 22 years old next week.

The Indianapolis Colts selected Kentucky RB Seth McGowan in Round 7 of the 2026 NFL Draft. McGowan began his career at Oklahoma in 2022. Robbery and battery charges derailed his path, though. “It was difficult. At some point, I was facing like 70 years,” he admitted in comments made to Kentucky Sports Radio. He resurfaced at Butler Community College in 2023 before jumping to New Mexico State in 2024. There, he out-produced fellow prospect Mike Washington Jr. 5.4 yards per carry to 4.6. McGowan’s 2025 slipped, however, as he mustered only 4.4 YPC at Kentucky. Among the 20 RBs invited to the NFL Combine, McGowan ranked seventh in 2025 rushing market share (47.5%), and 17th in yards after contact per attempt (2.72). He ranked 12th in 2025 missed tackles forced per attempt (0.21) and 17th in receiving yards per route run (0.70). He is currently 25 years old.

The Pittsburgh Steelers selected Navy RB Eli Heidenreich in Round 7 of the 2026 NFL Draft. Heidenreich racked up 3,151 yards over the past three seasons while playing both RB and WR. He totaled 169 career carries for Navy’s option-centric attack and churned out a strong 6.8 yards per attempt. He drew 172 targets for his career and tallied a school-record 941 yards in 2025. Heidenreich could stick at RB or even play WR for his new team. Among the 20 RBs invited to the NFL Combine, Heidenreich ranked 12th in yards after contact per attempt (3.17) and second in 2025 Explosive Run percentage (20.8%). He ranked first in 2025 missed tackles forced per attempt (0.30) and in receiving yards per route run (4.73). He is currently 22 years old.

The Cincinnati Bengals selected Texas TE Jack Endries in Round 7 of the 2026 NFL Draft. Endries committed to Cal in the same class as Fernando Mendoza, with Cal the only Power-4 offer for either player. After a 2022 redshirt, Endries emerged as a 2023 starter. He went 35-407-2, playing with three different QBs. When Mendoza took over full time, Endries erupted going 56-623-2. An athletic move TE, Endries played 46.9%

of his snaps from the slot. Among the 27 TEs invited to the NFL Combine, Endries ranked eighth in 2025 aDOT (8.2), and 19th in team market share of receiving yards (12.8%). He ranked 20th in 2025 receiving yards per team pass attempt (0.97) and last in receiving yards per route run (1.07). He is currently 22 years old.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that the Commanders have big-time interest in WR Brandon Aiyuk. According to Rapoport, that interest stands as a key reason the 49ers haven't unloaded the disgruntled veteran yet. San Francisco doesn't want to release a guy it believes Washington will trade for, while the Commanders don't want to pay for a player they believe the Niners will release.

The Los Angeles Rams selected Miami WR CJ Daniels in Round 6 of the 2026 NFL Draft. Daniels is already 24 after spending six years in college. That run included a torn right ACL in the spring of 2022. Daniels finally broke out for 1,064 yards and 10 scores in his fourth season at Liberty before transferring to LSU for the 2024 campaign. He finished just fourth on that team with 42 catches and 480 yards. Daniels was better at Miami this past year, ranking third in catches (50) and yards (557) and second in TDs (7). His 33.8% dominator rating ranked ninth among 49 WRs invited to the Combine. But his 1.73 yards per route ranked 37th. And this all came as a 23-year-old, sixth-year college player. Daniels is a fine route runner with passable ball skills. But there’s no standout trait to his game. He seems unlikely to develop into a real fantasy factor.

The Minnesota Vikings selected Wake Forest RB Demond Claiborne in Round 6 of the 2026 NFL Draft. Claiborne spent three years leading the Wake Forest backfield, stacking good production despite a middling offense. That included 1,956 rushing yards, 21 TDs, and 51 receptions over his final two years. He even squeezed out a career-best 5.1 yards per carry in 2025 after suffering a rib injury in the opener. Claiborne brings legit juice. His 42.5% breakaway rate, per Pro Football Focus, underscores how often he delivered runs of 15+ yards. Among the 20 RBs invited to the NFL Combine, Claiborne ranked sixth in 2025 rushing market share (48.1%), and 14th in yards after contact per attempt (3.04). He ranked 10th in 2025 missed tackles forced per attempt (0.21) and 17th in receiving yards per route run (0.66). He is currently 22 years old.

The Las Vegas Raiders selected Oregon WR Malik Benson in Round 6 of the 2026 NFL Draft. Benson starred for two seasons at Hutchinson Community College and left as the school’s all-time leader in receiving yards (2,152). That breakout caught Nick Saban’s eye and earned him a transfer to Alabama. But the jump in competition crushed the production. Benson wound up seventh on the Tide in catches (13) and sixth in receiving yards (162). A 2024 move to Florida State found only marginal improvement (25-311-1), due at least in part to poor QB play. Benson bounced back this past season at Oregon, leading the team with 719 receiving yards and finishing second to TE Kenyon Sadiq with 43 catches and 6 TDs. His 2.60 yards per route ranked seventh among the 49 WRs invited to this year’s Combine. Benson averaged 16.7 yards per catch for the Ducks and confirmed that big-play ability with a 4.37-second 40 time at the Combine. He’s undersized at 189 pounds, though, and enters the NFL as an unrefined 23-year-old.

The Jacksonville Jaguars selected Baylor WR Josh Cameron in Round 6 of the 2026 NFL Draft. After three quiet seasons as a walk-on, Cameron led the Bears in receptions, receiving yards, and TDs in both 2024 and 2025. He earned All-Big 12 honors as a punt returner in 2024 and as a WR in 2025. Cameron’s 26.3% dominator rating (share of team’s receiving yards + TDs) last year ranked 21st among the 49 WRs invited to the Combine. But he ranked outside the top 35 in both targets per route (0.20) and yards per route (1.70). He never hit 2.0 yards per route across his five college seasons. Cameron is a power player at 6’2 and 220 pounds. He’s a legitimate red-zone weapon with strong body control, timing, and ball tracking. Cameron was one of only six FBS players with 19+ receiving scores over the past two seasons. He also boasts reliable hands, dropping only 7 passes at Baylor (4.0% drop rate). But Cameron struggles to separate and will need to continue winning contested balls at the next level.
