Video: Expert 2026 Fantasy Football Draft ($500 Buy In)
My highest ranked player is going to be Devonta Smith. We will go ahead and we will pull the trigger here at the 3.08... we kind of get boxed out once Olave pick ends and Rashee Rice are off the board

STACKED’s take

NeutralValue

Forced early WR pick due to scarcity; part of high-floor team stack with Hurts.

Selected at 3.08 in this expert $500 buy-in draft; speaker's highest-ranked player available at that pick. Speaker acknowledges the pick 'doesn't feel great' because many similar-tier WRs remain available (Higgins, Waddle, McConkey, Atwell, Egbuka) and a comparable WR will likely be available in round 4, but the team is forced to act due to WR scarcity after Olave and Rashee Rice come off the board. In double-flex full PPR format, WRs receive a slight bump over RBs in this range. Later in the draft, Smith is part of a well-constructed team (St. Brown, Devonta Smith, Davante Adams, Ashton Jeanty, D'Andre Swift) that the speaker views as having a very high floor and a decent ceiling. In a 4-point passing touchdown format, the Jalen Hurts-DeVonta Smith stack is described as the optimal play and 'it's not even remotely close.'
