Brandon Deutsch · Mar 1, 2026

In his Fantasy Files segment, Deutsch predicted Arkansas running back Mike Washington could be the second running back drafted around the middle of round two, said Makai Lemon rather than Carnell Tate will be the first receiver taken, and pegged Colston Loveland as a top-three fantasy tight end next season.

I think now Mikayla is going to be the first receiver taken.

  • Mike Washington to be picked “mid round two”

    I would say probably mid round two is where the RB two will go

    Not settled yet. This is graded once the season it describes has finished.

  • Carnell Tate to be not the first guy off the draft board wide receiver off the board

    I don't think so, actually, Bernie. I think Carnel Tate's forty times really did not serve him. Well

    Not settled yet. This is graded once the season it describes has finished.

  • Colston Loveland to finish top 3 at his position, by fantasy points

    So if you're looking for a guy the tight end three next season is probably Colston Loveland.
