With most dynasty fantasy football rookie drafts now over, the question is no longer how you should value these 2026 rookies among their class. Instead, itâs now about how to value them across the entire dynasty landscape.

Rookie RBs To Trade For In Dynasty Fantasy Football
One of the biggest names in the 2026 class and the 1.01 in most leagues is Jeremiyah Love. Even though running backs donât typically get drafted very high in the NFL draft, Love went 3rd overall to the Arizona Cardinals.
With Love being an elite prospect and now getting phenomenal draft capital, his dynasty value is extremely high. Weâll break down where Love is being ranked right now on Keep Trade Cut, if that value makes sense, and whether you should trade for him.
At the moment, Love is being ranked as the RB3 on KTC, which is a bit of a shock. For as good as Love is, heâs yet to take a single NFL snap.
That said, Iâm able to understand it to an extent. With running backs often having short NFL careers, youth is crucial for dynasty fantasy football.
Unlike other positions, itâs much more common for a running back to produce in year one. At the same time, that means Love is ranked higher than Ashton Jeanty, who was the top running back to come out of the 2025 NFL draft.
The only players ranked ahead of Love right now are Bijan Robinson and Jahmyr Gibbs. Thatâs something I absolutely agree with.
Two players that should be ranked ahead of Love right now are Jeanty, whoâs at RB4, and Omarion Hampton at RB6.
Jeremiyah Love plays as a running back in the NFL.
The Arizona Cardinals drafted Jeremiyah Love third overall in the 2026 NFL Draft.
Valuing 2026 NFL rookies in dynasty fantasy football involves assessing their potential impact and performance across the entire dynasty landscape.

Love is ranked 15th overall in a superflex format and 10th in 1QB.
Based on Loveâs KTC ranking yes, you should trade him away. For starters, ranking a running back at 15th overall (superflex) is a bit rich as is.
In a superflex format, I would much rather build my team around Trey McBride, Joe Burrow, CeeDee Lamb, Drake London, or Tetairoa McMillan.
However, if you're in need of running back production, it makes too much sense to trade down for Hampton.
Love has age on his side, and he may be a bit more of a talented running back. That said, the situation is crucial for fantasy football, and Hampton is in a much better one.
For one, Hampton is still a young running back, at 23.1 years old, compared to Love at 20.9.
That said, the future of this Los Angeles Chargers offense looks much better with Justin Herbert at the helm compared to Jacoby Brissett in Arizona.
Not only that, but Iâm less worried about the competition with the Chargers, as Keaton Mitchell shouldnât have much of a workload as the teamâs RB2.
On the other hand, Tyler Allgeier, James Conner, and Trey Benson are all quality running backs. All three running backs in Arizona worry me more than Mitchell.
Conner becomes a free agent in 2027, but Allgeier and Benson are here until 2028.
Now, to be fair, you donât draft a running back this high unless youâre going to give him a significant amount of touches.
At the same time, Love may not have as large a workload as some think, and it wouldnât shock me at all if Hampton has more touches this year as well as in 2028.
If Hampton has more touches in a better offense, Iâm expecting him to produce more than Love.
At the end of the day, itâs not ridiculous for Jeremiyah Love to be ranked where he is. My main argument is that Omarion Hampton should be ranked higher, making him a strong dynasty fantasy football trade target for those with Love on their roster.
