2026 Fantasy Outlook
The Bears took Roush early in the third round this year, 69th overall, but the draft capital shouldn't be mistaken for immediate fantasy potential. He's an impressive athlete, especially relative to his size, but at 6-foot-6, 267, he probably won't run many routes in an offense that already has TEs Colston Loveland and Cole Kmet. Fantasy interest in Roush should be limited to deep dynasty leagues, where there might eventually be some payoff for his combination of elite size and strong athletic measurables (4.70 40, 38.5-inch vertical, 126-inch broad jump).

Picked by Bears
The Bears selected Roush in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 69th overall.
ANALYSIS
Roush (6-foot-6, 267 pounds) is a massive tight end and moves well for his build (4.7-second 40-yard dash, 38.5-inch vertical, 126-inch broad jump), but his short arms (30 and 5/8 inches) were a hindrance and a plausible explanation for his poor pass-catching production at Stanford. Athletic as he is, Roush projects more as a blocker than a receiver at the NFL level, and that's even before you account for the fact that Colston Loveland is obviously the featured pass-catching tight end for Chicago's indefinite future.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Scooped by Pats in Reuter mock
Chad Reuter of NFL.com has the Patriots selecting Roush in the second round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 63rd overall.
ANALYSIS
The Patriots replaced Austin Hooper with Julian Hill in free agency to serve as the TE2 behind Hunter Henry, but New England could look to bolster that position group through the draft. Unlike other prospects at the position, Roush is one of the few Y tight ends that stands out as a pro-ready blocker that can earn himself a sizable chunk of snaps on offense, per Lance Zierlein of NFL.com. Roush spent his entire four-year college career in Stanford and finished the 2025 season with 49 catches for 545 yards and two touchdowns across 11 games.
