I wanted to do a deep dive into wide receivers. I have struggled in years past with my wide receiver model. I am happy with my other models for fantasy purposes. As I just wrote in my rookie draft hit rate article, after the top 6 wide receivers in each class, the hit rate is not good, so I wanted to find out who to target in those top 6. Some of the people that I have dug deeper into their stuff from Twitter were @NoFilm_Analysis, @DynoDayTraders, and @DynastyZoltanFF. I want to combine what I have read from the three of them and apply it to the first and second round wide receivers since 2019.

In 2026 rookie drafts, Jeremiyah Love is the clear 1.01, and Fernando Mendoza sits right behind him at 1.02 in Superflex, PPR, and Tight End Premium formats. After those two, my next pick starts with Carnell Tate, then Makai Lemon, then Kenyon Sadiq, and then Jordyn Tyson. That order comes down to a mix of safety, upside, positional value, and how clean the path feels to early fantasy relevance. Tate is the safest wide receiver in the group. Lemon brings the most explosive upside. Sadiq gets a real bump in tight end premium because the athletic ceiling is different at that position. Tyson has the talent, but the risk profile is heavier than the other three.

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.

Everyone gets excited for their rookie draft picks, hoping to find the next superstar. It can really change the trajectory of your team if you hit on your picks, but it can also destroy your team if you do a poor job drafting. In this article, I will examine running backs who are sleepers, drafted outside the top 100. The players that should be picked in Rounds 3 or 4 of rookie drafts. If you hit on one of these guys, they can help make you a contender year in and year out and provide valuable targets for your rookie drafts. Most third and fourth-round picks are busts in rookie drafts, so hitting on one of these gives you a big edge on your league mates. First, let us look at how many running backs have been drafted in Rounds 4 and 5 since 2015. Since 2015, 75 players have been drafted in Rounds 4 and 5. A lot of them are landmines in rookie drafts, and my goal is to help you avoid them.

First, let us look at how many wide receivers got drafted since 2010 in Rounds 4 and 5. There have been 120 guys drafted in Rounds 4 and 5 since 2010. Next, I looked at guys who scored fantasy points in college because we want guys who are going to score fantasy points. I looked at guys who scored 15 or more points because there seemed to be a big drop-off after that. After that, I looked at guys who broke out early in college. I picked 20 years old as my cut-off age, again, that seemed like a big drop off for the guys who broke out later than that. Lastly, I looked at their height, and the guys who were 71 inches tall or shorter were not doing well in the NFL, so I went with greater than 71 inches tall and narrowed down my list to something I am happy with.

Kaytron Allen is the type of running back I fall in love with. Not because he’s going to run away from everyone. Not because he’s going to give you 60-yard highlights every week. But because he’s the kind of back that keeps drives alive. He finds the hole, stays square, and gets you what’s there. Over and over. At ~5’11” and 220-225 pounds, Allen is built like a real NFL runner. Compact. Strong. Low center of gravity. He’s hard to stop once he gets moving, and when contact shows up, he’s still finishing forward.

My goals for this Quarterback model are to help us win more championships and have fewer busts in our rookie drafts for Dynasty football. Some players get hyped up with the Senior Bowl and the NFL Combine each year, but they are landmines, and I want to help you avoid them if possible. Quarterbacks should always be one of the first pieces of your team, but you should always take the best player available in your rookie drafts and trade for needs.
