The Stephie Smalls Show is back with a deep dive into the 2026 NFL Draft, rookie running back prospects, and early fantasy football best ball strategy. This week I’m joined by Dave Kluge from Footballguys to break down the players fantasy managers and bettors need to know before the draft.
We start with the surprising D.J. Moore trade to the Buffalo Bills, and what it means for Josh Allen and the Bills’ Super Bowl window. From the Chicago Bears perspective, the move could open cap space and change expectations for their upcoming season — including whether the Bears win total might actually be a sneaky bet.
Then we dive into the 2026 rookie running back class, starting with the clear RB1 prospect Jeremiah Love and the next tier of players fantasy managers should track closely. We also talk through intriguing prospects like Nick Singleton and why injuries and landing spots could dramatically shift rookie draft value.
Finally, Dave shares his favorite late-round rookie sleepers, including Clemson’s versatile weapon Adam Randall, plus strategy tips for attacking early best ball drafts.
If you’re preparing for the NFL Draft, dynasty rookie drafts, or fantasy football best ball, this episode is packed with insights.
