BEST fantasy rookie TEs & QBs in NFL DRAFT: Breaking down Kenyon Sadiq, Fernando Mendoza & MORE! Sporting News' Vinnie Iyer and NFL.com's Michelle Magdziuk break down the best tight ends and quarterbacks expected to go in the 2026 NFL Draft based on early fantasy outlook. First, get the complete analysis on the skill set of Oregon TE Kenyon Sadiq, a surefire first-round pick whose immediate impact depends on his landing spot. Then get to know Vanderbilt's Eli Stowers, whom Vinnie and Michelle also think has intriguing athletic potential to contribute sooner rather than later as a Day 2 pick. Ohio State's Max Klare is another tight end to watch, too. Will Indiana's Fernando Mendoza start as the No. 1 overall pick for the Raiders? The co-hosts debate that and consider whether he has much value as a rookie vs. being a strong pick for dynasty league before getting into their lukewarm feelings for Alabama's Ty Simpson. 2:22 Kenyon Sadiq’s Role as a Receiver-Type Tight End Projected 7:32 Panthers as a Breakout Destination: Sadiq Helping Bryce Young 10:52 Eli Stowers’ Elite Athleticism and Unconventional Path 14:52 Max Klare: Size, Route Running, and Production at Ohio State 17:44 Fernando Mendoza: Raiders' Future and Kirk Cousins Comparison 24:21 Ty Simpson’s Shot as Immediate Starter with QB-Needy Teams Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms 🎧 https://lockedonpodcasts.com/podcasts/locked-on-fantasy-football/ Locked On NFL League-Wide: Every Team, Fantasy, Draft, & More 🎧 https://lockedonpodcasts.com/leagues/nfl/ WANT MORE DAILY FANTASY FOOTBALL CONTENT?
