Eli Heidenreich is an off-the-radar player from Navy who played in one of the most unique offensive systems in college football, notorious for amplifying a singular player’s productivity.
Heidenreich has some eye-popping analytics. Yards per route run is one of the strongest singular predictors of future fantasy production. On its own, YPRR carries a 0.43 correlation when using current-year data to project next year’s performance. Heidenreich’s 4.73 yards per route run is easily tops in this class, well above the wide receivers who were selected in the first round of the NFL Draft.
His draft capital was poor. But he was drafted. And his Pittsburgh landing spot was pretty solid. Kenneth Gainwell was the RB 20 overall in fantasy points per game last year. Heidenreich has a shot at a similar role eventually.
Steelers beat writer, Mark Kaboly, posted on X, “ I am not saying that Eli Heidenreich should even be mentioned in the same breath as Christian McCaffrey because C-Mac is elite and a different breed … but you can’t help but notice similarities in how they move around a football field. (yeah, this is going to be taken out of context, oh well).”

This weekend, we wrapped up my final dynasty rookie draft of the offseason (outside of my home dynasty league, which drafts during the preseason). With rookies now rostered in 17 of my 18 leagues, I thought it was a good time to discuss my top-owned dynasty rookies.
Using the “exposure” feature in the Dynasty Control Room, I’m able to see my ownership percentage of every single fantasy player. Being a “portfolio manager” in 18 leagues, this feature is especially useful, showing me who I need to invest more heavily in, as well as the guys I should look to lower my exposure on. The tool also shows you which players DFF expert consensus is above and below market on, to give you an idea of whether you’re investing in the right players.
With that, let’s take a look at my top 5 most-owned rookies right now.

In Campus 2 Canton leagues, people constantly chase the next five-star quarterback before he ever takes a meaningful snap. But some of the best C2C values come from a different path entirely. They come from productive quarterbacks stepping into bigger situations before the market fully adjusts. That’s exactly why Colton Joseph should be one of the biggest quarterback breakout targets in C2C heading into 2026. And to be clear: This is primarily a C2C production bet, not necessarily an NFL projection bet.
Right now, Joseph does not profile as a future locked-in NFL franchise quarterback. But honestly? That barely matters in Campus 2 Canton. Fantasy points matter. Weekly ceiling matters. Rushing production matters. And Joseph massively checks those boxes.

Most dynasty managers spend two or three months trying to learn an incoming rookie class.
They binge prospect videos.
They consume rankings.
They memorize combine numbers.
They suddenly convince themselves they understand hand usage, route nuance, and footwork because they watched a three-minute highlight clip on Twitter.
Meanwhile, Campus-to-Canton managers have already been living with these players for years.
That’s the hidden edge of C2C.
It’s not just another fantasy football format.
It’s an investment in every dynasty league you already play.

Which Wide Receivers Can Average 17+ FPPG in 2026?
The goal of this article is to determine the makeup of an elite fantasy football wide receiver. I am looking for wide receivers who average more than 17+ PPR a game, which is about the top 8 each year.
Since 2010, we have had 32 wide receivers with multiple seasons of 17+ PPR. These quarterbacks have accounted for 111 of 138 seasons since 2010. We have had 27 wide receivers only do it once so far. Some of those guys that are still playing and could join the list of 32 are:

Which Quarterbacks Can Average 20+ FPPG in 2026?
The goal of this article is to find what the makeup of an elite fantasy football quarterback is. I am looking for quarterbacks who score 20+ PPR a game, which is about the top 6 each year.
Since 2010, we have had 17 quarterbacks with multiple seasons of 20+ PPR. These quarterbacks make up 71/80 seasons since 2010. We have had 9 quarterbacks only do it once so far. Some of those guys that are still playing and could join the list of 17 are: Drake Maye, Jayden Daniels, and Baker Mayfield.
Now, the list of 17 quarterbacks who have been elite since 2010.

You Don’t Need to Know 400 College Players to Survive a Campus 2 Canton Draft
There’s a myth in Campus 2 Canton fantasy football that you need to know every 5-Star recruit, every spring camp battle, and the backup slot receiver at Texas Tech to compete.
You don’t.
You just need to avoid lighting your picks on fire.
If you’re coming from Dynasty Fantasy Football, the hardest part of a Campus 2 Canton startup isn’t evaluating NFL players. It’s staring at a draft board full of college names you’ve never heard of while the guy drafting next to you claims he watched an Oregon State spring practice livestream in April.
Relax. Most of these players are lottery tickets anyway.
The reality is that campus drafts are less about being perfect and more about avoiding catastrophic mistakes. You’re trying to stack probabilities in your favor while everyone else is chasing hype videos and recruiting rankings.
Here’s the approach I use when navigating a campus draft with limited college player knowledge.

Best Dynasty Value for Each NFC North & South Team
*To gauge market value, positional rankings in this article were pulled from FantasyPros’ Expert Consensus Rankings (ECR)*
NFC North
Chicago Bears – Rome Odunze (WR25)
Everyone seems to have forgotten how electric Rome Odunze was in the Bears’ first four games last season. He had four top-20 finishes and averaged 19.9 fantasy points per game during that span. Sadly, his season was later derailed by a foot sprain, and he never looked like quite the same player after that.
Hot finishes from Luther Burden and Colston Loveland to end the 2025 season have created a nice buy window for Odunze. Let’s not forget, this is a young player (23) who was a top-10 draft pick just two years ago. With D.J. Moore now in Buffalo, a healthy Odunze has a chance to become Caleb Williams’ top target earner going forward.

Using Redraft to Improve Your Dynasty Team: Vol. 3
This is one of my favorite series to write every offseason. If you’re new here, the concept is simple: even though redraft and dynasty are two completely different games, there’s still a ton of value in holding them up side by side. If a player is being drafted heavily in redraft but is dirt cheap in dynasty, that’s the market telling you something. And if a veteran player is propped up in dynasty but the redraft market has moved on, that’s your cue to sell while you still can.
Underdog ADP is about as sharp as it gets in the fantasy space, since every contest has real money on the line, hundreds of thousands of teams are drafted each year, and the ADP updates constantly. When that many people are putting dollars behind their opinions, you pay attention. So while dynasty managers are thinking three years down the road, we can use that redraft signal to find guys who are undervalued right now and identify the ones you should already be moving while their value is still inflated

Building My Dynasty: A Full Startup Draft Breakdown
In today’s article, I’m breaking down my most recent dynasty startup draft, covering everything from my draft strategy to player values and roster construction. The goal is to leave you with a few ideas you can take into your own startup drafts this offseason. In this particular draft, I was able to construct a team I believe can compete in Year 1 while being built for long-term dominance. With the help of the DFF Dynasty Control Room, I was able to maximize value by reviewing consensus big boards and checking “top players available” with every pick. According to DFF consensus, it paid off, as I finished with the best draft class in the league.

Devy Rankings Q&A – Tight Ends
We have officially made it to the point in the year where dynasty, devy, and C2C drafts are in full swing. Jim (@jim_DFF) and I (@Evan_Kerr_) have been hard at work adjusting and tinkering with our devy rankings to make them a near-perfect product for all to utilize. Grinding film and digging into analytics has helped us to painstakingly rank over 300 players on their ability to make the jump to the next level.
The process has made us question ourselves in a number of ways, and even now that the rankings are updated, we find ourselves questioning where different players landed on the big board.
In this four-article series, we’ve decided to peel back the proverbial curtain and reveal some of what goes on within the mind of a devy ranker. Isolating one position for each article, we were each asked a series of five questions that forced us to decide which players we think are too high, which players we think are too low, a player that we just can’t seem to quit, a player we have completely given up on, and a deep sleeper we think more people need to be talking about.
For the fourth and final edition of the Devy Rankings Q&A, we focused on the tight ends.
