Running backs come in a lot of shapes, but the ones who last in the NFL usually bring a mix of size, speed, and toughness. Mike Washington Jr. checks those boxes. At 6’1” and around 223 pounds, he looks like the kind of back built to handle a heavy workload. What separates him from most runners his size is the speed. When he hits open space, he can erase angles in a hurry. Washington spent his college career climbing the ladder. He started in the MAC before finishing at Arkansas in the SEC, proving along the way that his game translated against better competition. By the time the 2025 season ended, he had established himself as one of the most productive backs in the conference.

Let’s talk about a tier one tight end that isn’t getting enough love. If #85 Packers TE Tucker Kraft wasn’t injured last year, he would be tier one right now. And it’s not crazy to say he could be the best tight end overall. 25 years old. Kraft is a key offensive weapon who has shown high-level performance. Especially with his yard after catch (YAC). He was phenomenal in a 2025 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals, where he caught a 7-yard touchdown pass from Jordan Love. Kraft was the major factor in the success versus the Cardinals.

Cole Payton is one of those names that sneaks up on you if you’re not paying attention. Small school. Limited starts. Left-handed quarterback. Easy to overlook if you’re skimming box scores. But once you actually watch him and dig into the season he just put together, it’s hard not to come away impressed. Payton just finished a record-setting year at North Dakota State and put himself firmly on the NFL radar for the 2026 Draft. He’s not a finished product, but the upside is very real, especially in a quarterback class that doesn’t have many players separating themselves. A Late Bloomer Who Made It Count This past season was Payton’s first full year as the starter, and he made the most of it. He led North Dakota State to a 12–1 record and played with a level of efficiency you don’t usually see, regardless of level. He completed nearly 72% of his passes, threw for 2,719 yards with 16 touchdowns and only 4 interceptions, and consistently took care of the football. What really jumps out is how clean the overall production looks when you factor in what he did with his legs. Payton rushed for 777 yards and 13 touchdowns, averaging 5.7 yards per carry. He wasn’t scrambling just to survive. Designed runs, short-yardage toughness, red-zone scores. He became a legitimate problem for defenses once plays broke down. By the end of the year, he finished as the highest-graded quarterback in the FCS and set school records for efficiency and total offense per play. That doesn’t happen by accident. How

Goodness, gracious. This trade is gold for both parties. D.J. Moore made it possible for Buffalo and Chicago to become better. It cost the Buffalo Bills a 2026 second-round pick. In exchange, the Bears sent D.J. Moore and their 2026 fifth-round pick. For Chicago, this opens up so much in a crowded offensive room. Caleb has the weapons to throw to, even with Moore being shipped out. This opens up opportunities for two promising second-year players to shine: Luther Buden III (WR) and Colston Loveland (TE). Hello, young men! These youngsters will have a chance to be special, special. I guarantee they are both already soaring in Dynasty as hot commodities and will be hot as a spoon is a trap house at the beginning of the month. They have shown they are capable of producing in their 2025 rookie campaigns.

Dynasty Startup Season is often reminiscent of beginning a new romantic relationship. In many ways, you’ve learned valuable lessons about what works and, more importantly, what doesn’t. You promise yourself you won’t repeat old mistakes. You tell yourself you’ll stay patient, trust your board, and not reach for the shiny new thing just because everyone else is swooning. And yet, when you’re finally on the clock, emotions tend to creep back in.

Malachi Fields looks like an NFL “X” receiver the moment he walks on the field. At 6’4” and over 220 pounds, he brings prototype size and play strength to the position. What he does is win at the catch point and make defensive backs feel small in the air. Fields isn’t a burner. He’s not going to win with suddenness or quick separation. He wins with size and strength when the ball is in the air. Production That Matches the Role Fields spent the majority of his career at Virginia before transferring to Notre Dame for the 2025 season. Across three seasons, he totaled 165 catches for 2,479 yards and 16 touchdowns, averaging just over 15 yards per reception. In 2025 at Notre Dame, he caught 36 passes for 630 yards and 5 touchdowns, averaging 17.5 yards per reception. When the ball went up, he gave his quarterback a chance. He wasn’t a target magnet. He was a chain mover and a scoring option who finished plays down the field and in the red zone. How Fields Wins Everything with Fields starts with his frame. Defensive backs struggle to slow him down once he gets moving. He builds speed as he goes, and that shows up in his routes. Against press, he can be a bit of a slow starter and will need to refine his release package at the next level. Once he gets moving, though, his size becomes a problem. Defensive backs struggle to reroute him, and he uses his body well to shield defenders on verticals and

Let’s just say it out loud: Justin Jefferson is being drafted like it’s still 2022. But it’s not 2022 anymore. And the numbers don’t care about reputation. I’m not saying Jefferson is bad. I’m not saying he suddenly forgot how to run routes. I am saying that fantasy managers are paying for a version of Jefferson that no longer exists — and may not be coming back, despite where he lands in NFL fantasy rankings. This is not my Packers’ bias coming into play – although I do enjoy seeing him fail. What this actually is is a classic case of name value outrunning production.

In the past, trading Tyler Allgeier in Dynasty was advisable because his value was heavily capped as a backup to Bijan Robinson. He gave us good games here and there, but his upside was always capped. While talented, his limited long-term upside in Atlanta has been capped since the arrival of Bijan. Allgeier is a prime candidate to trade for, offering a second round pick or a package of other assets. In my opinion, this is the time to both acquire or sell him.
