Brian Peacock· May 5, 2026
Peacock predicts Stribling won't produce much fantasy volume as a rookie in 2026 but becomes a starting outside receiver long term, sees fourth-rounder Ephesians Prysock making the roster as depth rather than starting, and thinks Jaden Duggar may end up a practice squad player.
“So I think expectations for volume, statistically, for your fantasy football team should probably not be super high for Daejeon Stribling”

Jaden Dugger to make the roster
