The Steelers ’ 2026 NFL Draft class is here, and Pittsburgh fans have plenty to sort through before fantasy football draft season begins.

Not every rookie the Steelers selected will matter in standard fantasy football leagues right away. Offensive linemen do not score points, defensive backs are usually only relevant in IDP formats and late-round role players often need time before they become weekly fantasy options. But Pittsburgh did add several players who could matter in redraft, dynasty, best ball, Superflex and deeper fantasy leagues.

The biggest fantasy names in this class are Alabama wide receiver Germie Bernard, Penn State quarterback Drew Allar, Iowa return specialist Kaden Wetjen, Indiana fullback/tight end Riley Nowakowski and Navy running back/receiver Eli Heidenreich. The Steelers also used premium picks on offensive linemen Max Iheanachor and Gennings Dunker, and those additions could help the entire offense if they win starting jobs. Pittsburgh selected 10 players overall, including Iheanachor in Round 1, Bernard in Round 2, Allar, Daylen Everette and Dunker in Round 3, Wetjen in Round 4, Nowakowski in Round 5, Gabriel Rubio in Round 6, and Robert Spears-Jennings and Heidenreich in Round 7.
