Rookie Superflex Dynasty Rankings - 2026

This is for all the dynasty nerds out there.  After years of requests, several years ago we began including dynasty-centric content on our site.  Below, you will find our Superflex Dynasty Rankings for 2026.  The conventional wisdom from the draft community is that this is a “bad” draft class, with only one stud - Jeremiyah Love - at the top. Time will tell if that proves accurate.

We have included our Top-50 overall rookies, plus a brief synopsis with our thoughts on each player.

Top 50 Overall

  1. Jeremiyah Love, RB, Cardinals.  The clear-cut no. 1 in this class.  His vision, cuts, spins, and hurdles are legendary.  He’s also a good pass catcher and has a nose for the end zone.  A worthy selection as the 1.01 in any league.  

  2. Makai Lemon, WR, Eagles.   Most people have Lemon as their #3 in this class, but I have the Biletnikoff award winner as my #1 WR, albeit in a tier below consensus 1.01 Jeremiyah Love in the overall rankings.  The first-team All-American was the only WR in the class to average at least 50 yards per game over his first three seasons, 90 yards per game in his best season, and yards per route run above 3.0 against both man and zone.  He is capable of playing both inside and out, had double-digit touchdowns in his best collegiate season, and exceeded 1100 yards receiving in his best season (one of only four P4 WRs to reach that mark). Oh, and he’s an early declare.  Lots to like about this profile. 

  3. Jordyn Tyson, WR, Saints.  As a prospect, Tyson is very close to Lemon in my model.  He’s also 3 inches taller and more than 10 lbs. heavier. He had an early breakout age (18.1), and is 1 of only 2 WRs in teh class with a career yards per route run above 2.70.  Like Lemon, he averaged more than 50 yards per game over his first three seasons (65.45), and more than 90 yards per game in his best season (91.8).  He also can play inside and out, spending nearly 70% of his time out wide and the rest in the slot.  He posted best-season totals of 75 receptions, 1098 yards, and 10 touchdowns.  If there are knocks on Tyson, it’s that he doesn’t force many missed tackles (only 7 over the course of a 4-year college career) and he has had his share of injury issues.  

  4. Fernando Mendoza, WR, Raiders.   I get it that he won the Heisman Trophy.  I get it that he won a national championship.  I get it that he was the first pick in the draft, and we’re supposed to prioritize quarterbacks in superflex.  But my concern with Mendoza is that, from a raw numbers standpoint, he doesn’t look *that* different from Kurtis Rourke, his predecessor at Indiana.  He only had one game this past season with more than 300 yards passing, which is concerning.  He’s an easy kid to root for, and I’ve got him as a top 5 guy, but it’s hard for me to vault him higher than this when I have questions about his “it” factor.  I’ve seen comps to Joe Burrow, but I see more Kirk Cousins.  I’m also concerned about his lack of weapons in Las Vegas.  Ashton Jeanty and Brock Bowers should be solid options, but the WR corps (Jalen Nailor, Tre Tucker, Jack Bech) leave much to be desired, which could hamper his development. 

  5. Carnell Tate, WR, Titans. The film bros love Tate.  Love.   I’m not a film guy, so I’ve got to defer to them to a certain extent.  Analytically, he’s more “fine” than “elite.”  What I like: He’s got a career Y/RR of 2.27 and a best season Y/RR of 3.02.  He was a five star recruit.  He was a second-team All-American.  He had an 89.0 PFF grade.  He was no. 2 in the FBS with 9 catches of 40+ yards this past season.  Those things are all great, so why am I a little lower on him than most?  Because his profile is worse than any of the other WRs to come out of Ohio State in the past 5 years.  When compared to Garrett Wilson, Chris Olave, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Marvin Harrison, and Emeka Egbuka, Tate is worst in the following categories: missed tackles forced, best-season receptions total, best-season yardage total, best-season touchdowns total, yards per game over his first three seasons, and yards per game in his best season.  Yes, his production is likely depressed due to playing with other NFL talents… but you could say the same thing about all of those other guys, too, and they were still more productive than him.  So while I think he’s a good player, I think he’s a tick below the other receivers that have come out of Ohio State recently.  I see a very good NFL WR2. 

  6. KC Concepcion, WR, Browns.  Now we’re talking.  If I had any stones, I’d put Concepcion above Tate.  Concepcion broke out at age 18.9, was an early declare, and was a first-team All-American.  Almost 79% of his receptions went for a first down or a touchdown.  After starring in primarily a slot role at NC State, he moved to the outside at Texas A&M last season and continued to shine.  He never had that “elite” statistical season, but I’m not going to knock him for that too much because he was an early declare.  He still averaged almost 60 yards per game over his first three seasons, despite playing in different roles at two different schools.  He goes to an offense that is in desperate need of playmakers, so he should have an opportunity to contribute right away.  There’s this perception out there that he’s small, but he’s actually taller than Makai Lemon and weighs more than both Lemon and Tate.  NFL.com compares him to Doug Baldwin, and PlayerProfiler compares him to Stefon Diggs.  Sign me up.       

  7. Eli Stowers, TE, Eagles.  Either you believe in analytics or you do not.  I believe.  The first-team All-American, who is still new to the tight end position, posted a 2.34 Y/RR for his career (an insane number for a tight end), an 86.9 PFF grade, a 9.46 Relative Athletic Score, and a speed score of 114.9.  He’s going to become the Eagles starter at tight end by 2027.  Temper your expectations for 2026, though. Dallas Goedert has returned to the Eagles on a one-year deal. 

  8. Ty Simpson, QB, Rams.  Analytically, I have a lot of concerns about Ty Simpson, but sometimes you just have to follow the draft capital.  NFL history has not been kind to quarterbacks with only one year of experience, but maybe Simpson is an exception to the rule.  The former 5-star recruit goes to a QB guru in Sean McVay, and is the heir apparent to Matthew Stafford.  Draft expert Dane Brugler calls him “Daniel Jones with lesser physical traits” and projects him as a low-level starter.  But starters are starters, and starting quarterbacks are hard to come by in Superflex. 

  9. Kenyon Sadiq, TE, Jets.  I’m not a huge Sadiq guy, but like with Simpson, I’m trusting the draft capital, especially in a weak class overall.  Sadiq is very athletic and goes to a team in need of pass catchers beyond Garrett Wilson. 

  10. Jadarian Price, RB, Seahawks.  Ok, look.  Notre Dame fanboy here.  I love Jadarian Price.  I’ve probably seen every snap he played in college.  He’s a solid back with good vision and outstanding juice, and contributes meaningfully in the return game. But the hype on him is out of control.  This is a dude who never had 125 carries in any college season.  But he’s going to be an NFL bell cow?  He’s a guy who never caught more than 6 passes in any college season.  Is he going to be a big pass catching specialist now?  He is a player who tore his Achilles tendon in college.  Not a lot of NFL success stories for guys with that injury.  I like Price a lot, and I want him to succeed, but I see a timeshare back.  He’s rocketing up draft boards because of the first round draft capital and the (perceived) lack of competition in the backfield.  But is the hype on him still as high if the Seahawks sign a free agent back like Najee Harris or Kareem Hunt to split carries?  I’m tempering my expectations.  Price *could* be good in the NFL, but his analytical profile is against him. 

  11. Omar Cooper Jr., WR, Jets. Probably got a college football playoff bump.  Had a decent final season with 13 touchdowns, splits his time almost 50/50 between playing inside and out, and is good at forcing missed tackles (27, best in class), but there are concerns to the profile as well. His Y/RR against man coverage was below 2.0, which is concerning.  He averaged just 33 yards per game over his first three seasons, well below our preferred threshold of 50.  Even this past year, in his best season, he averaged fewer than 60 yards per game, far below our threshold of 85.  He’s a tough eval.  His Y/RR was above 2.10 all 3 years at IU, and he had 30 plays of 20+ yards over the past two seasons.  But if he’s so good, why weren’t the raw yardage totals there?  He played with #1 overall pick Fernando Mendoza, who is likely better than whomever his quarterback will be with the Jets.  There are reasons for optimism, but I’m also concerned about the lack of high yardage totals in college, which makes me curious how much of a fantasy asset he will be. 

  12. Denzel Boston, WR, Browns. The positives: 14 of his 20 TDs came in the red zone, and nearly 80% of his catches in 2025 went for a first round or a touchdown.  That said, I never quite understood the hype on Boston.  His career Y/RR was barely above 2.0 (2.02), and his Y/RR against zone was a paltry 1.85.  He averaged under 30 yards per game over his first three seasons, and his yards per game was below 75 in his best season.  His career high is 881 receiving yards, and he didn’t really break out until his senior year.  I have concerns about his late-breakout, and that his bully-ball style won’t translate fully to the NFL.  

  13. De’Zhaun Stribling, WR, 49ers.  Follow the draft capital.  I had Stribling as a late 6th round talent, but the 49ers felt differently.  They took him at pick 33, and were prepared to take him at pick 30 if they hadn’t traded out.  I don’t understand why people love taking Omar Cooper in Round 1, but hate taking Stribling, even though the draft capital differentiating them was only 3 picks.  If the Niners had stood pat and chosen Stribling in Round 1, would we feel differently about him?  Again, I didn’t like his profile.  But if he ends up hitting, the folks who passed on him in favor of Day 3 running backs are going to feel really foolish: “Why did a take a Round 5 running back over a wide receiver who was drafted in the first 35 picks?”  

  14. Max Klare, TE, Rams. People are sleeping on Klare too much.  He got top-60 draft capital and went to the team that runs more 13 personnel (1 RB, 3 TE) than any other in the NFL.  Klare spent his first three years at Purdue, where he led the team in receiving his final year there, before transferring to Ohio State and seeing a dip in production.  But are we really going to knock his production for falling off a bit when he was sharing the field with Jeremiah Smith and Carnell Tate?  Trust the draft capital and the offense here.  Klare may wind up being the best value in 2026 rookie drafts. 

  15. Zachariah Branch, WR, Falcons.  The argument I have heard on several podcasts is that Branch has a 90% chance of being Tavon Austin, and a 10% chance of being Tyreek Hill.  In this crummy draft class, take the lottery ticket on the guy who might be Tyreek Hill.  If he’s not Tyreek Hill, you probably haven’t missed out on much burning a second round pick in this class. 

  16. Eli Raridon, TE, Patriots.  Big target who is a good athlete.  He had some injury issues in college, and then played on a run-first team by the time he was finally healthy.  But he projects as a good blocker and red zone weapon, and his Y/RR was surprisingly good (2.23) in his best season.  He’s already #2 on the Patriots depth chart, and could ascend to #1 if Hunter Henry leaves after this season. 

  17. Nicholas Singleton, RB, Titans.  Full disclosure:  In most years, I would be vehemently against taking a Day 3 running back with a second round dynasty pick.  But this isn’t most years.  This is a really bad draft class.  So you may as well throw your darts on the guys you believe in.  Singleton is a guy I believe in. Five star recruit.  12+ rushing touchdowns in 3 of 4 years, including 1,000 yards and 12 TDs as a true freshman in the Big 10.  He likely fell in the draft due to a foot injury he suffered after the season, precluding him from participating in the combine.  But this dude is an athletic marvel, and is a big play waiting to happen.  The problem is that he has vision problems.  If he can get that cleaned up, he could be a really good value.  If you’re a Jadarian Price backer, you can make the same sort of “opportunity” arguments for Singleton that you can make for Price.  But Singleton comes at a lower cost. 

  18. Elijah Sarratt, WR, Ravens. I liked Sarratt a good bit more than the NFL did, and I was disappointed that he fell all the way to the 4th round. I had a 2nd round grade on him.  He had a Y/RR above 2.0 each of the past 4 seasons.  He continued to elevate his production every time he jumped up a level in competition in college.  He makes contested catches at every level of the field.  He had outstanding touchdown production (44 TDs over 4 years).  Despite limited speed/suddenness, he can break off big plays, as he had 32 catches of 20+ yards over the past 2 years.  

  19. Skyler Bell, WR, Bills. Here’s another guy who I was higher on than the NFL.  Bell was a first team All-American and had outstanding production at UConn in 2025, with 102 catches, 1282 yards, and 13 touchdowns.  He played 60% of his snaps out wide and almost 40% inside, and he has outstanding quickness (6.65 3-cone drill, best in class). However, it is concerning that he didn’t break out until his 5th year senior season at UConn, playing primarily a subpar level of competition.  He didn’t really do much of anything at all during his first three years at Wisconsin. 

  20. Antonio Williams, WR, Commanders. Williams broke out as a true freshman at age 19, but never really improved much.  Over his first three seasons, he averaged 52.48 yards per game, and in his final season, he averaged just 64.6.  He lacked that truly elite “breakout” year.  He’s probably a slot-only player (78% slot rate in college), so his fantasy upside may be capped.  Also, his career Y/RR was below 2.0, and his Y/RR against zone was also below 2.0.  He  does have decent speed (4.41 forty) and quickness (6.76 3-cone), so he could be a decent little slot player for an NFL offense.  But I am tempering my expectations for fantasy. 

  21. Eli Heidenreich, RB, Steelers.  This is the highest-risk, highest-reward player on my list.  He’s far more likely to bust than hit. We’re talking about a late 7th round pick here.  But man, if he hits, he’s got an enticing analytical profile.  Most 3rd and 4th round dynasty rookie picks bust, so take your swings on the guys you like. I’ve intentionally got him ranked as the first pick of the third round in a 10 team league. This will ensure that you get him if you like him, but that you won’t burn premium draft capital on him. Heidenreich is a little light in the pants (198 lbs.), but that’s a result of where he went to school, Navy, which focuses more on fitness than strength.  Get this kid in an NFL strength and conditioning program and he should be well over 205. He had an eye-popping 44.5% target share in college (an insane number for a wide receiver, let alone a running back), a relative athletic score of 9.23, and 109(!) receptions in college. That is a remarkable receptions total for any running back, but is even more impressive for a Navy team that hardly threw the ball. 

  22. Germie Bernard, WR, Steelers.  I ordinarily abide by draft capital, but I just can’t here, despite Bernard being a top-50 draft pick.  I had a late Day 2 grade on him, but the analytical profile isn’t all that exciting. He has a career Y/RR below 2.0.  His Y/RR against zone last year was 1.71 (yuck), and his Y/RR against man was just 1.38 (double yuck).  His yards per game over his first three seasons was below 35 (more yuck), and his yards per game in his best season was below 65 (yuck again).  The best argument I’ve heard in his favor is that he can play every wide receiver position.  That tells me that he brings tremendous value to an NFL offense as their WR4/primary backup to all 3 starter spots.  But I have yet to see a persuasive argument for him as a premium fantasy scorer. 

  23. Jonah Coleman, WR, Broncos.  Coleman is stout (220 lbs. at just 5’8), but he doesn’t play up to his size.  He plays more like a scatback/third down back (9.7% target share in college). He had an impressive 34 touchdowns in college, so there could be a path to relevancy in the NFL, but I do have concerns about his ability to play at a high level between the tackles.  For what it’s worth, he refused to run a 40 yard dash, and am worried that he doesn’t have the requisite speed (above a 4.6) to succeed at a sustained high level in the NFL. 

  24. Kaelon Black, RB, 49ers.  This is a draft capital-only pick for me.  I had a late 6th round grade on Black, but the 49ers felt differently.  That said, they’ve got a really poor track record drafting running backs under John Lynch.  

  25. Chris Bell, WR, Dolphins.  He’s coming off a torn ACL, he didn’t break out until his senior year of college, and he lined up exclusively on the right side of the formation. Oh, and he got drafted by a team that projects to throw under 25 times per game.  Lots of reasons to be concerned.  If you like him, you’ll note that he has good size (6’1, 222 lbs.) and is going to a team with a wide open depth chart.  He also had an impressive 3.25 Y/RR vs. man coverage last year.  

  26. Malachi Fields, WR, Giants.  Fields, one of the stars of Senior Bowl week, is a little slower than you’d like for a WR (4.61) but his speed is adequate enough for his size (6’4”). 75% of his catches at Notre Dame went for a first down or touchdown.  Notre Dame used him as a deep threat, but he seems like he’d be more of a possession receiver or “big slot” type in the NFL.  The Giants have a fairly barren depth chart behind the hurt Malik Nabers, which likely explains why they traded 2026 fourth and fifth round picks and a 2027 fourth for the right to select him in Round 3.  He should be given every opportunity to earn a starting role.  

  27. Bryce Lance, WR, Saints.  I was higher on the North Dakota State captain than the NFL and had a mid-day 2 grade on him.  Although he’s a little bit older for a rookie (23), he’s got good burst (1.49 10-yard split), a Y/RR above 3.0 against both man and zone, and best-season totals of 75 receptions, 1079 yards, and 17(!) touchdowns.  I like betting on TD-makers.  Kellen Moore and Tyler Shough should be running a fast-paced, high-flying offense, and I want to get pieces of it. 

  28. Drew Allar, QB, Steelers. The former five-star recruit and Nittany Lions captain is the ideal quarterback from the neck down.  But he makes terrible decisions and lacks touch.  Ideally, to have a shot at stardom, quarterbacks need to hit 2 of the following 3 metrics: be younger than 22 when drafted, have at least 30 starts with at least 10 pass attempts, and a QBR of 81.5+.  Allar misses all of these metrics, but just barely: age 22, 29 starts, and QBR 77.5.  Because he’s *so close* in each of these metrics, I’m comfortable spending a third round dynasty rookie pick on him.  Aaron Rodgers is 42 and isn’t going to play for the Steelers forever, so Allar may get a chance this season to show whether he’s got the goods. 

  29. Carson Beck, QB, Cardinals. He started a ton of games in college (42) and is a proven winner, but he just makes too many mistakes and wilts under pressure.  His PFF pressure grade is a miserable 43.0 and his blitz grade is an almost-as-bad 61.1.  Although he may get the opportunity to start some games this year for the Cardinals, I see more of a long-term backup than a future starter. 

  30. Mike Washington Jr., RB, Raiders.  Supreme athlete, but turns his back to avoid contact and didn’t really break out until his super senior season.  He’s likely buried on the Raiders depth chart behind Ashton Jeanty and likely doesn’t see a big workload absent an injury. He’s a worthy selection for the Jeanty manager in your league. 

  31. Oscar Delp, TE, Saints. Delp had his backers in the fantasy community but I wasn’t among them and was surprised to see him get third round draft capital.  For me, he was more of a mid-day 3 pick.  His Y/RR was subpar, but he did have a supreme speed score (120.56) and a relative athletic score of 9.82 (top 30 number all time among tight ends), so there is some raw material to work with here.  Also, New Orleans has a fairly barren depth chart at tight end, so opportunities are there for the taking. 

  32. Kaytron Allen, RB, Washington.  The knock on Allen is that he may not have the athleticism to serve as a feature back in the NFL.  But man, the sixth rounder is a really easy player to like: 91.3 PFF grade, 39 college rushing scores; and durable (never missed a game in college).  He lands in an open backfield in Washington, as he only needs to beat out the oft-disappointing Rachaad White, journeyman Jerome Ford, and last year’s 7th rounder Bill Croskey-Merritt for snaps. 

  33. Ted Hurst, WR, Buccaneers.  I must be missing something on Hurst.  A lot of scouts love him.  But I just can’t get jazzed about small school guys who weren’t supremely productive in college.  Hurst went to Georgia State, meaning his competition was the future gym teachers of America, he never had double digit touchdowns, he never had 1,000 yards receiving, and his Y/RR against man coverage was below 1.9.  On the positive side, per Dane Brugler, he had 34 catches of 20+ yards over the past 2 years, which led the FBS.  So there’s a reasonable chance that he could be a reliable deep threat for the Bucs. 

  34. Chris Brazzell, WR, Panthers.  The third-team All-American lined up exclusively on the right side of the formation, which is often concerning.  He had some good production at Tennessee, with best season totals of 61 receptions, 1006 yards, and 9 TDs. He was supremely productive against zone (3.1 Y/RR), but it’s always hard to evaluate someone coming from Josh Heupel’s gimmicky offense.  Brazzell is criticized for having skinny limbs and ankles.  Given that criticism, I see a better Tyquan Thornton.  He should have opportunity in Carolina, but… it’s also Carolina.  How many pass catchers can Bryce Young support? 

  35. Emmett Johnson, RB, Chiefs.  The Chiefs haven’t had a 1,000 yard rusher since Patrick Mahomes’ rookie year.  It isn’t as good of a landing spot as it appears to be. Johnson, a second-team All-American, did not break out until his senior season, and isn’t a great athlete (5.55 RAS).  He might carve out a role as a third-down back, but my expectations are not high for him.  He does, however, have a great ability to force missed tackles (68, best among all drafted RBs this year) and is a good in the passing game (16% target share in college), so maybe I’m selling him short. 

  36. Demond Claiborne, RB, Vikings. Way too small for my liking: 5’10, 188 pounds.  Unless you’re Devon Achane, it’s really hard to make a living in the NFL at that size.  He’s really fast and a good pass catcher, and he lands in a fairly barren RB room in Minnesota (Jordan Mason and the aging Aaron Jones are his only competition), but man… I just don’t know if a guy can make it at his size. 

  37. Brenen Thompson, WR, Chargers. Thompson is small (5’9, 164) but speedy (4.26 forty), and he landed with the perfect play-caller for small, speedy receivers (Mike McDaniel).  He’s played in several different P4 schemes (Texas, Oklahoma, and Mississippi State), and he was ridiculously productive in his final year in the SEC. Per Dane Brugler, he led the P4 with 5 catches of 50+ yards and 10 catches of 40+ yards, en route to a 1,000 yard season.  His career and best-season yards per route run numbers are strong, as well.  He will certainly bring value to an NFL offense; the only question is how much value he’ll bring for fantasy.  Is he only a part time player/rotational deep threat, or can he be something more? 

  38. Ja’Kobi Lane, WR, Ravens.  Lane was a true junior and early declare out of USC.  He’s tall (6’4”) and fast (4.47).  He is considerably better against man coverage (3.05 y/rr) than zone (2.28). He had 12 touchdowns as a sophomore in 2024 but his production tailed off considerably in 2025, playing second fiddle to Biletnikoff Award winner Makai Lemon.  He’s a low-volume receiver, but he goes to a Ravens team that is known for a low-volume passing attack, so it may be an ideal fit. 

  39. Adam Randall, RB, Ravens. The Clemson captain was formerly a wide receiver.  He’s really big for a running back (6’3, 232), and, as you might expect at that size, runs a bit upright.  He has good athleticism (9.44 RAS) and could carve out the RB2 role behind Derrick Henry. 

  40. Cole Payton, QB, Eagles.  The analytics love Cole Payton.  He had an overall PFF grade of 96.0, a pressure grade of 90.5, and a blitz grade of 94.1.  He’s the only quarterback in the class to be better than 71.0 in all 3 categories.  He’s also got 10.2” hands, meaning fumbles should not be a problem for him.  And, he’s a great rusher.  On the flip side, he’s a lefty with only one season of starts in college, and those starts were against subpar competition. Still, this seems like a worthy stash for a team that is pretty good at evaluating quarterbacks.  

  41. Cade Klubnik, QB, Jets.  Meh.  The five-star recruit never really blossomed in college. He’s got a subpar QBR (67.9), a subpar PFF grade (76.5), and is poor under pressure (62.1).  He’s started a lot of games, though (40), so he’s got that going for him. Maybe he’ll get a look this year if Geno Smith falters. 

  42. Justin Joly, TE, Broncos. Another dude that the film guys love, there’s enough there analytically (1.78 Y/RR) to at least be mildly intrigued. It would be surprising to see him make much of a fantasy impact in 2026, but maybe after Evan Engram departs he could earn a larger role. 

  43. Taylen Green, QB, Browns. Supreme athlete.  There’s no surefire QB in front of him on the depth chart (unless you’re a believer in Deshaun Watson, Shedeur Sanders, or Dillon Gabriel).  Stranger things have happened.  And if he doesn’t make it at quarterback, maybe he’ll pull a Logan Thomas and transition to tight end.  But I’d like to see him stay at quarterback.  He had a ton of starts in college (37), a QBR of 82.8, and a respectable PFF grade of 83.0 in the SEC.  He’s basically a poor man’s Anthony Richardson, but unlike Richardson, he won’t immediately be thrust into a starting role before he’s ready. 

  44. Kevin Coleman Jr., WR, Dolphins. Coleman is a decent slot WR who attended four different schools throughout his college career.  He’s decent at forcing missed tackles (26 in his best season). But he’s going to a low-volume passing offense and his path to starting is likely blocked by Malik Washington. 

  45. Tanner Koziol, TE, Jaguars. He’s big (6’6”) with a huge catch radius (33.6” arms) and is an elite route runner, especially for a tight end (2.26 Y/RR). He’s also an elite athlete (9.72 RAS).  I like him considerably more than the Jaguars’ second round pick, Nate Boerkircher. Definitely a worthy selection late. 

  46. Caleb Douglas, WR, Miami. I didn’t have a draftable grade on Douglas, but hey, sometimes you gotta follow the draft capital.  He was a top-100 pick, and goes to the most barren WR room I’ve ever seen.  

  47. Colbie Young, WR, Bengals.  The Bengals have a great passing offense. Do you want a cheap piece of that offense? Young’s raw stats in college weren’t impressive, but he did have an insane 4.26 (!) yards per route run against man coverage in 2025. 

  48. Seth McGowan, RB, Colts.  He’s old (will turn 25 this year) and has character concerns, but he’s a good pass catcher and a supreme athlete (9.34 RAS) who has good size (6’0, 223) and speed (4.49 forty). 

  49. Zavion Thomas, WR, Bears.  I didn’t have a draftable grade on Thomas but the Bears liked him enough to take him in Round 3 and are talking about giving him RB snaps.  If he develops a hybrid role, there could be value. 

  50. Jaydn Ott, RB, Chiefs.  As a true sophomore at California, he posted 1,300 yards rushing with 12 touchdowns.  He wasn’t able to recapture that form at Oklahoma, but maybe that sophomore production is still inside him. Even though he went undrafted, the Chiefs have demonstrated in the past that draft capital doesn’t matter to them (they had 7th rounder Isiah Pacheco as their leading rusher for the past several years).  If Kenny Walker gets hurt and Ott outperforms Emmett Johnson, there could be a path to relevancy here.
