STACKED’s take
Stribling's draft capital and Pearsall's injury create a clear path to significant role in Shanahan's YAC-friendly offen
Stribling qualifies as a deep-league target at ADP 158 (WR66) and represents a breakout opportunity in San Francisco's offense. The 49ers selected him with the first pick of the second round (sixth WR selected), providing meaningful draft capital. With Ricky Pearsall out for the entire 2026 season due to knee surgery, Stribling has a clear path to a sizable role despite the 49ers bringing back Deebo Samuel. Kyle Shanahan has crafted fantasy-friendly offenses, and Brock Purdy is a fantasy-friendly QB (sixth in passing yards per game at 247.4 since 2024, 11th in passing TD rate at 5.3%). In his final college season, among 71 FBS WRs with 70+ targets in the 2026 draft class, Stribling ranked seventh in yards after the catch per reception (7.3) and 23rd in PFF receiving grade (78.8). Shanahan has succeeded with YAC-monster wideouts, making Stribling a bench stash candidate.
