Fantasy Football Dynasty Rookie Draft Advice: De’Zhaun Stribling
Stribling has great size at 6’2 1/8″, 207 pounds, and ran a 4.36 40-yard dash. He’ll have a chance to compete right away for snaps and should comfortably be the WR4 on the 49ers behind Mike Evans, Ricky Pearsall, and Christian Kirk, with a strong chance to overtake Kirk as one of the outside receivers. He’ll be a nice vertical threat for quarterback Brock Purdy, and if he can find ways to separate better on underneath routes, that, combined with his speed, will make him a real problem in the NFL. I’d consider him a second-round pick in dynasty leagues.

DBro’s NFL Draft Scouting Report & Player Comp: De’Zhaun Stribling
Scouting report:

Stribling is a linear athlete. He’s a build-up speed receiver that can make some things happen with the ball in his hands. Stribling had 7.3 and 6.7 yards after the catch per reception over the last two years. He can bulldoze through defenders with momentum built up and a strong upper body.
Stribling can look clunky at times when he’s asked to sink his hips at the top of the route and break back towards the quarterback. Comebacks and curls aren’t his special sauce. With a heavy diet of slants, posts, and gos, he can cook. He needs to continue to add more nuance, variations in pacing, and the other bells and whistles of route running.
Stribling has good ball tracking and the ability to stack corners on vertical routes. He displays plus body control with plenty of nice back shoulder catches littering his film.
