Stribling caught the first pass of the game (quick out) and didn't slow down. He was missed on a slant route, handled a jet sweep, made a leaping grab at the sticks, won a whip route and came down with a sideline grab as LT Trent Williams was gushing over him... It's possible he is THE sleeper of 2026. I'm chasing him up the board.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalSleeper

Stribling's preseason performance suggests he could be the 2026 sleeper.

De'Zhaun Stribling's value is on the rise after 49ers preseason Week 1. He caught the first pass of the game (quick out) and didn't slow down. He was missed on a slant route, handled a jet sweep, made a leaping grab at the sticks, won a whip route and came down with a sideline grab as LT Trent Williams was gushing over him. His alignment within the starting lineup isn't set, as he moved from the slot to the boundary in his debut, but he should be ahead of Deebo Samuel Sr. early, if not right in Week 1. The source believes he is THE sleeper of 2026 and is chasing him up the board.
