1.03 Daniel Withers Fernando Mendoza QB Indiana 1.02

*May Average Draft Position from Dynasty League Football

1.01 — Jeremiyah Love, RB, Cardinals

There wasn’t much debate here once Arizona spent top-three NFL Draft capital on Jeremiyah Love. His combination of explosive-play ability, receiving usage, and projected workload gives him immediate Dynasty RB1 upside, even with Tyler Allgeier and James Conner still in the mix.

1.02 — Jordyn Tyson, WR, Saints

Jordan Tyson landed in one of the more fantasy-friendly situations in the class after the Saints finished near the top of the league in motion usage, no-huddle rate, and pace last season. His ability to separate underneath and operate after the catch should pair nicely with Chris Olave and Tyler Shough, especially in an offense that already showed a willingness to manufacture touches in space.

1.03 — Fernando Mendoza, QB, Raiders

Fernando Mendoza may not open the season as the Raiders’ starter, but this is a pretty easy Superflex swing. The long-term fit in Klint Kubiak’s offense alongside Brock Bowers and Ashton Jeanty gives him the cleanest path to becoming a long-term QB2 in this class.

1.04 — Carnell Tate, WR, Titans

Tennessee desperately needed a true outside receiver for Cam Ward, and Carnell Tate’s path to becoming the WR1 there feels pretty clean. He doesn’t bring elite YAC ability, but his separation skills and absurd contested-catch success should translate quickly, especially with Calvin Ridley’s efficiency continuing to crater.

Neil Dutton added: “It was not my intention to base my Dynasty roster’s future on the Titans, but Tate and Singleton at their prices just felt right.”

1.05 — Makai Lemon, WR, Eagles

With DeVonta Smith slated to handle more outside looks once A.J. Brown is out the door, Makai Lemon should stylistically fit in the slot quite well. The only issue here is that Jalen Hurts has historically had issues with the short-to-intermediate, middle-of-the-field looks. That raises some small red flags, but Lemon’s thrashing of zone defenses while at USC does inevitably create a fantasy floor at the next level.

1.06 — KC Concepcion, WR, Browns

KC Concepcion should immediately become one of the focal points of Cleveland’s passing game after the Browns spent first-round capital trying to inject life into one of the league’s least efficient receiver rooms. His ability after the catch and versatility across the formation give him a strong chance to become a long-term fantasy winner tied to Todd Monken.

Round 1, Picks 7-12
Pick Drafter Player Pos. College May ADP
1.07 Max Canteen Jadarian Price RB Notre Dame 1.07
1.08 Justin Edwards Kenyon Sadiq TE Oregon 1.08
1.09 Jennifer Eakins Omar Cooper Jr. WR Indiana 1.09
1.10 Matt Jones Denzel Boston WR Washington 1.12
1.11 Addison Hayes Eli Stowers TE Vanderbilt 1.11
1.12 Ryan Kirksey Ty Simpson QB Alabama 1.10

1.07 — Jadarian Price, RB, Seahawks

Jadarian Price’s post-Draft outlook has changed dramatically with a first-round selection, pairing with the news that Zach Charbonnet’s ACL recovery timeline might stretch a little deeper into the regular season than initially thought. We’ll have to see what kind of committee those two will be involved in through the end of Year 1, but we just saw this Seahawks offense support two fantasy-worthy backs, so it’s very much in the cards that they can do it again.

1.08 — Kenyon Sadiq, TE, Jets

Kenyon Sadiq’s incredible athletic profile and inside-outside versatility give him a legitimate chance to emerge as the No. 2 target behind Garrett Wilson early on in his career. It’s fair to wonder what exactly that amounts to when we look at pure ceiling outcomes when he’s tied to Geno Smith/Cade Klubnik —and Mason Taylor as a running mate— but we just saw a similar pass-catching tight end in Harold Fannin pop off the screen as a rookie in an equally tumultuous situation last year.

1.09 — Omar Cooper Jr., WR, Jets

Omar Cooper Jr. may need a little more patience than some of the receivers drafted around him. Year 1 projections have him in the 500-yard range, which will certainly be a nice building block, but not likely a big enough one to be rolling him out in lineups in 2026. Regardless, he is helped by an offensive infrastructure that should feel more complete if the Jets have a pick high enough to snag a new franchise QB next April.

1.10 — Denzel Boston, WR, Browns

Denzel Boston complements KC Concepcion extremely well as a bigger-bodied boundary receiver capable of winning downfield and at the catch point. Cleveland’s receiver room badly needed an infusion of talent, and Boston’s ability to operate on crossers, digs, and intermediate routes should fit naturally alongside Concepcion’s movement-heavy role.

1.11 — Eli Stowers, TE, Eagles

We are now at the point of the rookie draft where repeating “maybe not this year, but…” is already rolling off the tongue. The Eagles brought Dallas Goedert back on a one-year, $7M contract back in March, and with Eli Stowers having very minimal blocking experience, you have to wonder if he loses out on some multi-TE sets in the early going as well. Philadelphia will undoubtedly find ways to get his athleticism on the field in what looks to be Goedert’s final season with the team, but his fantasy aspirations likely begin in 2027.

1.12 — Ty Simpson, QB, Rams

Ty Simpson finds himself in the Sean McVay offense —with NFL Draft capital much higher than anyone expected— yet just scrapes the first round of a Superflex rookie draft due to the lingering presence of Matthew Stafford. The good news is, Stafford is already 38 years old, and though I’m not in the business of predicting injuries, he has taken quite a lot of hits since entering the league all the way back in 2009. If/when Simpson finds the field, the fantasy gap between him and Fernando Mendoza is probably a lot smaller than people think.

Round 2, Picks 1-6
Pick Drafter Player Pos. College May ADP
2.01 Jon Hammerman Jonah Coleman RB Washington 2.03
2.02 Johnny Football Chris Bell WR Louisville 2.04
2.03 Daniel Withers Antonio Williams WR Clemson 2.01
2.04 Neil Dutton Nicholas Singleton RB Penn State 2.06
2.05 Tyler Stout Emmett Johnson RB Nebraska 2.12
2.06 Wyatt Bertolone Germie Bernard WR Alabama 2.02

2.01 — Jonah Coleman, RB, Broncos

Denver’s backfield still feels very much open. J.K. Dobbins has struggled to stay healthy throughout his career, while RJ Harvey failed to fully seize the job last season, opening the door for Jonah Coleman to potentially carve out a short-yardage and goal-line role surprisingly early.

Jon Hammerman noted: “Although Coleman got drafted later than I thought going into the draft, I think his size in the mid-220s could allow him to be a short-yardage back and get goal-line opportunities.”

2.02 — Chris Bell, WR, Dolphins

Bell’s ACL recovery timeline is likely the only reason he slipped this far in rookie drafts. Miami’s receiver room is almost completely barren long-term, and Bell still profiles as a potential X receiver capable of turning short catches into explosive gains once he’s healthy.

2.03 — Antonio Williams, WR, Commanders

Assuming we see a fully recovered Jayden Daniels from here on out, there’s a lot to love about this landing spot for Antonio Williams. The Commanders have depth at the position, but no one out of the Treylon Burks/Dyami Brown/Luke McCaffrey conglomerate provides a reasonable No. 2 option behind Terry McLaurin, so Williams will make his case throughout the summer months.

2.04 — Nicholas Singleton, RB, Titans

Nicholas Singleton lands in an intriguing environment seeking long-term answers behind Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears. With that said, his fifth-round Draft capital is hard to overlook when considering what his complementary role is going to look like out of the gate. His fantasy value hinges on making a significant mark on the offense before his rookie year comes to a close.

As Neil Dutton put it: “Tate and Singleton at their prices just felt right.”

2.05 — Emmett Johnson, RB, Chiefs

Johnson doesn’t bring overwhelming athleticism, but his patience, contact balance, and receiving background make him a pretty clean fit as a dependable rotational back. Kenneth Walker blocks the immediate ceiling in Kansas City, but Johnson’s 85 receptions over his final two college seasons give him a path to passing-down work, and he’s in one of the better handcuff environments in this class.

2.06 — Germie Bernard, WR, Steelers

By adding Germie Bernard and losing Jonnu Smith through free agency, we could end up seeing quite a bit more 3-WR looks in Pittsburgh this year. That’s good news for the rookie’s potential 2026 impact, as the Steelers used 11-personnel on only 64% of their pass plays last season, the second-lowest rate in the league. That certainly doesn’t mean Bernard is going to step in and surpass Michael Pittman or DK Metcalf in target share, but it’s certainly a boost to what otherwise could have been a pretty forgettable floor.

Round 2, Picks 7-12
Pick Drafter Player Pos. College May ADP
2.07 Max Canteen Kaytron Allen RB Penn State 3.05
2.08 Justin Edwards Elijah Sarratt WR Indiana 3.02
2.09 Jennifer Eakins Mike Washington Jr. RB Arkansas 2.11
2.10 Matt Jones Ted Hurst WR Georgia State 2.08
2.11 Addison Hayes De'Zhaun Stribling WR Ole Miss 2.05
2.12 Ryan Kirksey Zachariah Branch WR Georgia 2.10

2.07 — Kaytron Allen, RB, Commanders

“Fatman” will join “Bill” and Rachaad White in the new-look Commanders backfield in what could end up being a pretty frustrating fantasy situation. Kaytron Allen will compete with Jacory Croskey-Merritt for early down work and White for third-down looks while Jayden Daniels soaks up a fair bit of the rushing to boot. With a positive summer showing, he could put a lot of pressure on Croskey-Merritt, but he’s going to have to push the team to reconsider Jerome Ford and/or Jeremy McNichols on the final 53-man roster as well.

2.08 — Elijah Sarratt, WR, Ravens

Elijah Sarratt’s fall into the late second is more about landing spot than talent. Baltimore is never going to project as a high-volume passing environment, but his physicality, back-shoulder ability, and potential “power slot” role give him a path to high-leverage work near the sticks and in the red zone.

2.09 — Mike Washington Jr., RB, Raiders

Washington’s fourth-round NFL Draft capital knocked him down rookie boards, but the landing spot keeps him interesting. He’s the clear No. 2 behind Ashton Jeanty in Las Vegas, and with 4.33 speed at 225 pounds, he has the type of explosiveness that can turn limited touches into usable weeks if the role grows.

2.10 — Ted Hurst, WR, Buccaneers

Everyone’s favorite pre-Draft crush, Ted Hurst, finds himself in an ambiguous long-term situation with the Buccaneers. How much longer does Chris Godwin have? Is Emeka Egbuka the player we saw in the first half of last season or the second? Is Jalen McMillan ready to take the next step? Will Tampa Bay extend Baker Mayfield? Considering we won’t know those answers until further down the road, Hurst makes for a great stash here with the 22nd pick.

2.11 — De'Zhaun Stribling, WR, 49ers

Jumping up from the fourth round of pre-Draft rookie mock ADP to the end of the second here seems like a mistake until you bake in the fact that Kyle Shanahan made De’Zhaun Stribling his first pick of the second round of the real-life Draft. Stribling had 600+ yards at three different programs over his college career and should begin his career as a vertical threat with plenty of room to grow.

2.12 — Zachariah Branch, WR, Falcons

As an under-the-radar addition to the new Kevin Stefanski/Tommy Rees offense, Zachariah Branch has only Jahan Dotson and Olamide Zaccheaus to battle before he can log snaps opposite Drake London. Good news in the long run, but he’ll need to fight for scraps behind Bijan Robinson and Kyle Pitts as well. A good offensive infrastructure here depends on either Tua Tagovailoa or Michael Penix stepping up and offering a semblance of consistent play.

Round 3
Pick Drafter Player Pos. College May ADP
3.01 Jon Hammerman Carson Beck QB Miami 2.09
3.02 Johnny Football Skyler Bell WR Connecticut 3.07
3.03 Daniel Withers Max Klare TE Ohio State 3.08
3.04 Neil Dutton Chris Brazzell II WR Tennessee 2.07
3.05 Tyler Stout Garrett Nussmeier QB LSU 4.07
3.06 Wyatt Bertolone Eli Raridon TE Notre Dame 3.10
3.07 Max Canteen Brenen Thompson WR Mississippi State 4.05
3.08 Justin Edwards Drew Allar QB Penn State 3.01
3.09 Jennifer Eakins Jack Endries TE Texas 5.12
3.10 Matt Jones Ja'Kobi Lane WR USC 3.03
3.11 Addison Hayes Cade Klubnik QB Clemson 4.06
3.12 Ryan Kirksey Malachi Fields WR Notre Dame 3.04

3.01 — Carson Beck, QB, Cardinals

Beck isn’t the cleanest prospect, but this is the stage of a Superflex rookie draft where backup quarterbacks with a plausible path to starts begin to matter. Arizona’s skill-position group gives him a decent ceiling if he ever gets on the field, and one injury to Jacoby Brissett could turn Beck into a movable Dynasty asset pretty quickly.

Drafter Jon Hammerman noted: “At this stage of the draft, I’m looking for value swings more than immediate production.”

3.02 — Skyler Bell, WR, Bills

A contingency plan for Khalil Shakir seems like an odd way to approach the NFL Draft, but the Bills haven’t exactly had the cleanest sheet when it comes to attacking pass-catchers in recent history. Still, Skyler Bell is now attached to Josh Allen, and there’s a non-zero chance D.J. Moore is phased out of a target-leading role down the road.

3.03 — Max Klare, TE, Rams

In a bid to see how many tight ends they can fit into the same room, Max Klare joins Colby Parkinson, Tyler Higbee, Terrance Ferguson, and Davis Allen in Los Angeles. The Rams run a ton of multi-TE sets, but this is nothing more than a hodgepodge of talent for the time being. Kalre is a stash —particularly in TE Premium leagues— until the room tightens up a little bit.

3.04 — Chris Brazzell, WR, Panthers

The addition of Chris Brazzell II makes the Panthers’ wide receiver room more interesting, but it takes a little convincing to picture him as a fantasy asset. Tetairoa McMillan is the locked-in No. 1 option here, Jalen Coker looks like he’s going to make some waves out of the slot, and in order for Brazzell to soak up what’s leftover, he’ll need to prove he’s more valuable than former first-rounder Xavier Legette. Not an impossible task, but one that may not pay many dividends.

3.05 — Garrett Nussmeier, QB, Chiefs

Being tied to Andy Reid is enough of a reason to flick a third-rounder at Garrett Nussmeier in a Superflex league, but even if Patrick Mahomes takes a minute to find his way back on the field, Justin Fields is still blocking the way for 2026 snaps.

3.06 — Eli Raridon, TE, Patriots

This is probably one of my favorite picks in the third rounds of a pretty dry rookie class. It’s hard to get excited for Eli Raridon’s prospects of getting a lot of usage behind Hunter Henry and Julian Hill, but if he can show enough for the team to forego the position next Draft cycle, he’ll have a chance to grow with Drake Maye in 2027 and beyond.

3.07 — Brenen Thompson, WR, Chargers

A speedy receiver tied to Justin Herbert and Mike McDaniel? That plays.

3.08 — Drew Allar, QB, Steelers

Aaron Rodgers has officially signed back with Pittsburgh for at least one more year, but that doesn’t mean Allar shouldn’t be a target so deep in the draft. The most likely outcome is that he remains on benches, and eventually, on waiver wires, but the upside of grabbing a potential starter for such little capital is an easy choice.

3.09 — Jack Endries, TE, Bengals

We’ve seen Mike Gesicki splash into the TE streaming streets for stretches with Joe Burrow, so maybe Jack Endries can eventually take over that role. Erick All has been sidelined since November of the 2024 season after undergoing two ACL surgeries.

3.10 — Ja'Kobi Lane, WR, Ravens

Ja’Kobi Lane joins Elijah Sarratt as part of Baltimore’s attempt to replace some of the size and red-zone utility lost at tight end this offseason. His larger frame and catch-point ability should give Lamar Jackson another useful option near the goal line, even if weekly target volume may be inconsistent.

3.11 — Cade Klubnik, QB, Jets

Klubnik’s fall from preseason first-round buzz to a fourth-round NFL pick was dramatic, but that also makes him a reasonable Superflex stash at this point. Geno Smith is not an immovable obstacle, and if the Jets’ offense struggles again, Klubnik could get a late-season audition with Garrett Wilson, Kenyon Sadiq, and Omar Cooper Jr. already in place.

3.12 — Malachi Fields, WR, Giants

Okay, I lied; I think this is my favorite third-round pick. There’s no doubt Malik Nabers has a firm grip on the No. 1 spot in this pass-catching group, but Darnell Mooney and Darius Slayton are entering their respective twilight years, while Calvin Austin is a 160-pound special teamer. Malachi Fields could begin his time with the Giants as a move-the-sticks option and blossom into a legit No. 2 with some polishing.
