Dynasty Fantasy Football Rookie Rankings: Top 40 players for Superflex leagues before the NFL Draft

How do teams value Adam Randall and Eli Heidenreich?

Both Randall and Heidenreich have intriguing upside and could offer big PPR upside if they land in the right spot. I am not really expecting them to be drafted until Round 3, but I will be very interested if they land in a good spot early in the day on Saturday. They could even jump a tier in my rankings in the perfect situation.

Top 6...likely

1. Jeremiyah Love, RB, Notre Dame
2. Fernando Mendoza, QB, Indiana
3. Carnell Tate, WR, Ohio State
4. Jordyn Tyson, WR, Arizona State
5. Makai Lemon, WR, USC
6. KC Concepcion, WR, Texas A&M

There is not a whole lot left to say about this group. I did recently move Tyson up above Lemon, as it seems NFL teams are not going to hold Tyson's injury history against him. At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if my top four players are all drafted in the first 12 picks of the NFL Draft. Lemon's landing spot may matter more than how high he goes in Round 1. He was mostly a slot player in college, and there are several teams that have gone with heavier personnel in recent years. If Lemon lands on a team that regularly plays two or three tight ends, he could be a part-time player in Year 1.

They could be Round 1 picks

7. Omar Cooper, WR, Indiana
8. Kenyon Sadiq, TE, Oregon
9. Denzel Boston, WR, Washington
10. Emmett Johnson, RB, Nebraska
11. Ty Simpson, QB, Alabama
12. Jadarian Price, RB, Notre Dame
13. Elijah Sarratt, WR, Indiana
14. Mike Washington, RB, Arkansas
15. Jonah Coleman, RB, Washington
16. Nicholas Singleton, RB, Penn State
17. Eli Stowers, TE, Vanderbilt
18. Chris Brazzell, WR, Tennessee

The first two players in this tier, Cooper and Sadiq, almost certainly will be first-round picks in rookie drafts next month. The last two players, Stowers and Brazzell, are unlikely to crack Round 1, but it is possible. Simpson and Stowers are entirely format dependent. There is no chance Simpson is a Round 1 pick in one-QB leagues, and Stowers, unless he's drafted on Thursday night, probably won't be either. One really interesting name in this tier is Sarratt. There are several draft analysts who like Sarratt more than Cooper. If an NFL team does, he will be one of my biggest post-draft risers.

Filling Out Round 2

19. Chris Bell, WR, Louisville
20. Germie Bernard, WR, Alabama
21. Antonio Williams, WR, Clemson
22. Max Klare, TE, Ohio State
23. Malachi Fields, WR, Notre Dame
24. Ted Hurst, WR, Georgia State
25. Skyler Bell, WR, Connecticut
26. Demond Claiborne, RB, Wake Forest
27. Kaytron Allen, RB, Penn State

Allen seems too low here in comparison to Singleton. Last year, Allen was the better back, but a year ago, everyone believed Singleton was the better prospect. Allen is already 23 years old, does not have a good pass-catching profile, and I am currently expecting him to be a Day 3 pick. All three of those factors keep him ranked well below where his 2025 counting stats suggest he should be. I am hopeful Fields is the big winner in this tier. I like his game and think he was held back by Notre Dame's offense and quarterback play.

Round 3 and later

28. Zachariah Branch, WR, Georgia
29. Bryce Lance, WR, North Dakota State
30. Garrett Nussmeier, QB, LSU
31. Ja'Kobi Lane, WR, USC
32. Adam Randall, RB, Clemson
33. Justin Joly, TE, NC State
34. Michael Trigg, TE, Baylor
35. Le'Veon Moss, RB, Texas A&M
36. Myles Montgomery, RB, UCF
37. Eli Heidenreich, RB, Navy
38. Cade Klubnik, QB, Clemson
39. Taylen Green, QB, Arkansas
40. Sam Roush, TE, Stanford

When you get to Round 3 of your rookie draft, you are simply throwing darts. In a tight-end premium league, you may as well throw a dart at a tight end. In Superflex, QB could be the way to go. That being said, if Randall or Heidenreich land in the perfect spot, they will instantly become one of my favorite Round 3 picks in any format.
