FantasyPros Articles on De'Zhaun Stribling

Stribling is a great late-round pick with varied skill set and upside in 49ers' WR room.

Stribling has been zooming up draft boards and ADP since the news of Ricky Pearsall's season-ending PCL injury. While San Francisco brought back Deebo Samuel on a one-year deal, Derek Brown will still be drafting Stribling at cost. Christian Kirk is also dealing with a calf injury to open camp and can't be counted on to stay healthy or be an effective weekly cog of an NFL passing attack. Stribling had a solid collegiate career with his skill set fitting what the 49ers want from their receivers. During his final two collegiate seasons, he posted 2.15 and 2.44 yards per route run with 7.3 and 6.7 yards after the catch per reception (17 missed tackles forced across both seasons, per PFF). Stribling offers the 49ers a varied skill set with shades of what they hoped to get from Pearsall; he can make players miss in space, outrun them with the ball in his hands (4.36 40-yard dash), and create yards after the catch. Stribling is a great late-round selection in fantasy football drafts in 2026.
