2026 NFL Draft: Dynasty Fantasy Football Winners and Losers from the AFC North

Player mentions

Article text

With the 2026 NFL Draft now over, we can accurately reassess the depth charts of teams around the NFL. In this series, we’ll be taking a look at players who either gained or lost value based on what their team did this off-season and during the draft. Let’s head to the AFC North. Baltimore Ravens Draft Class Round One, Pick 14: Olaivavega Ioane, G Penn State Round Two, Pick 45: Zion Young , OLB Missouri Round Three, Pick 80: Ja'Kobi Lane , WR USC Round Four, Pick 115: Elijah Sarratt , WR Indiana Round Four, Pick 133: Matthew Hibner , TE SMU Round Five, Pick 162: Chandler Rivers, CB Duke Round Five, Pick 173: Josh Cuevas , TE Alabama Round Five, Pick 174: Adam Randall , RB Clemson Round Six, Pick 211: Ryan Eckley, P Michigan State Round Seven, Pick 250: Rayshaun Benny, DT Michigan Round Seven, Pick 253: Evan Beerntsen, G Northwestern Winner: Lamar Jackson , QB Jackson might have lost starting center Tyler Linderbaum this off-season, but in the draft, he gained a starting guard (and maybe the best offensive lineman in the class), two starting-level receivers, and two tight ends to add to his receiving depth and help with blocking. The issue with the Ravens has often been a lack of receiving talent, although their dominance has come in the running game in the past two seasons, especially with Jackson joined by Derrick Henry . Additions to the offensive line will help the quarterback not have to buy so much time for himself (not that that’s normally an issue for Jackson), but the two receiving talents are a great complement to Zay Flowers as their number one, with Elijah Sarratt able to succeed on back shoulder balls on the boundary and Ja’Kobi Lane winning deep down the field. If the two rookies can live up to their potential, this might be the best receiving core Jackson has ever had - although that isn’t saying much. Loser: Rashod Bateman , WR SUBSCRIBE TO DLF PREMIUM!
