Devy Analysis
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.

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.
Up next for the third edition of the Devy Rankings Q&A, we focused on the wide receivers.
Q: What player do you feel is ranked too highly and could have drafters regretting their choice in the future?
Evan: Andrew Marsh. I truly think he is a fine receiver, but the expectations for him are getting a little too much for my liking. He is an average athlete by most metrics, and I’m not sure he profiles as a WR1, but he is being drafted like one. Coming in at WR19 in our rankings and just outside the overall top 50, Marsh will need to do what nearly all previous Wolverines that came before him have failed to do – produce. There are early questions surrounding quarterback Bryce Underwood’s ability to get him the ball, and the offense historically is not one that puts receivers in the NFL. I am also of the opinion that he isn’t the best receiver on his own team. That title might go to incoming freshman Salesi Moa before the 2026 season comes to a close.

We’ve made it, folks. The final edition of our Devy Rankings series has arrived. For those who have followed along this month, I appreciate your support, and I hope this content has helped you to prepare for your upcoming Devy startups and supplemental drafts this offseason. If you’ve missed any of the prior four articles, you can check those out below:
Quick reminder: These consensus ranks are based on a Superflex, Tight End Premium format, and are a snapshot of our rankings as of April 7, 2026. Evan and I update our Devy rankings year-round, which our subscribers can check out here. With that, let’s dive into our Top 10.
10. Bryce Underwood (QB – Michigan)
- Jim’s ranking: 24th
- Evan’s ranking: 2nd
- QB1 overall
Bryce Underwood slots in as the QB1 in our Devy consensus rankings, thanks to Evan’s ranking of 2nd overall amongst all positions. Underwood was the consensus QB1 of the 2025 freshmen class, with the size, speed, arm talent, and tools we rarely see at the high school level. He earned the starting job as a true freshman for the Wolverines, flashing some elite upside but struggling mightily with consistency. Underwood had five games with under 150 pass yards, including a 63-yard performance against Ohio State in Week 14. I’ve moved him down my ranks since this time last year, and would prefer Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele over him (marginally) in that draft class. Still, the upside case is the same, and with his athleticism and dual-threat ability, he could break fantasy if he hits.
9. Bryant Wesco (WR – Clemson)
- Jim’s ranking: 11th
- Evan’s ranking: 15th
- WR8 overall
After an excellent true freshman campaign in 2024, Wesco was off to an even better start in 2025, averaging 90 yards and one touchdown per game through six games. Unfortunately, he suffered a scary spinal injury against SMU in Week 8, sidelining him for the remainder of the season. Regarding back injuries, obvious concerns would be speed, mobility, and lateral quickness post-injury. With Wesco only being 20 years old, I’m hoping the recovery process is more streamlined, and he can return to the field with the same explosiveness we saw in his first two seasons. Reports say he’s been participating in spring drills and should be ready for the 2026 season.

These consensus ranks are an average between me and @Evan_Kerr_, and are a snapshot as of April 7, 2026. As a reminder, all of these values are based on a Superflex, Tight End Premium league format. Time to see who came in at the 20th overall spot.
20. Dante Moore (QB – Oregon)
- Jim’s rank – 13th
- Evan’s rank – 25th
- QB7 overall
Dante Moore is headed back to Eugene for one final season after a surprising decision not to declare for the 2026 NFL Draft. I know he’ll be earning a lucrative NIL deal this coming season, but he seemingly passed up on a guaranteed $50 million, assuming he would have gone 2nd overall to the Jets or 3rd overall to the Cardinals.
He now puts himself in a difficult spot, where the 2027 class has the potential to be absolutely loaded at the quarterback position. Still, Moore displays several NFL-level traits, including accuracy to all three levels, a quick release, and the ability to feel pressure in the pocket and adjust. His lack of rushing upside limits his fantasy ceiling, but it feels likely he’ll at least get a shot to prove he’s starting material in the NFL.
19. Justice Haynes (RB – Georgia Tech)
- Jim’s rank – 10th
- Evan’s rank – 27th
- RB3 overall
Another prospect who shocked us by electing to stay in the college ranks is Justice Haynes, who recently transferred from Michigan to Georgia State. Similar to Moore, this decision was a head-scratcher, given the lack of talent at his position in this draft class.
Haynes was off to a blazing start in the 2025 season, surpassing 100 rush yards and finding the endzone in six of seven contests. He was averaging a robust 7.1 yards per attempt (YPA) and a 50% breakaway rate before suffering a foot injury that sidelined him for the remainder of the season. Haynes underwent tightrope surgery and is reportedly ready for spring ball now. I’m eager to see how this Georgia Tech offense looks without Haynes King. It appears Fernando’s little brother, Alberto Mendoza, will be under center in 2026 for the Yellow Jackets. I’m hoping Haynes can expand his role as a pass catcher, with only 30 career receptions to his name.
18. Chris Henry Jr. (WR – Ohio State)
- Jim’s rank – 20th
- Evan’s rank – 17th
- WR10 overall
Chris Henry Jr. comes in as our Devy WR10 overall and my WR1 of the freshman class. He heads to “Wide Receiver U” where he’ll have an opportunity to make an immediate impact and learn from Jeremiah Smith, arguably the greatest college wide receiver prospect we’ve ever seen.
Henry is a natural athlete with a fluid running motion, almost gliding across the field at times. At 6’5” and 210 pounds, he’s a massive guy who projects to be purely a boundary receiver at the NFL level. He shows excellent burst and acceleration, and strong, confident hands at the catch point. And if you think the name sounds familiar, yes, Henry Jr. is the son of

We’ve made it to Part 3 of our five-part Devy rankings series, covering our Top 50 consensus Devy prospects as we head into the 2026 college football season. If you missed the first two editions of this series, you can check them out below:
These rankings are based on Superflex and Tight End Premium scoring settings, and are a snapshot of our consensus ranks as of April 7, 2026. Let’s take a look at who came in at number 30!
30. Jayce Brown (WR – LSU)
- Jim’s ranking – 38th
- Evan’s ranking – 23rd
- WR12 overall
Jayce Brown is headed to Baton Rouge after three productive seasons at Kansas State, where he compiled nearly 2,000 receiving yards and 13 total touchdowns. He’s a versatile weapon who can play X, Z, or slot, and has the burst and long speed to take the top off of defenses. He was frequently utilized as a deep threat for the Wildcats, with a career aDOT of 14.0 and 17.1 yards per reception (Y/REC). Brown is a smooth route runner, and his athleticism makes him a highlight reel waiting to happen. The biggest concerns here are size, physicality, and consistency. Brown is listed at around 180 lbs and has 14 career drops, for a drop rate of 10.9%. He needs to clean up the concentration drops to establish himself as a top-tier wide receiver in the 2027 class.
29. Ousmane Kromah (RB – Florida State)
- Jim’s ranking – 28th
- Evan’s ranking – 28th
- RB8 overall
Ousmane is coming off a fairly underwhelming true freshman campaign for the Seminoles, relative to expectations. Kromah was (and still is) my RB1 in the 2025 freshmen class, with tons of elite traits evident on his high school tape. I assumed he would be the Day 1 starter for Florida State, but he was stuck behind Gavin Sawchuk on the depth chart. Kromah was efficient per rush, but saw just 72 attempts all season. He now heads into 2026 competing for touches alongside Texas transfer Tre Wisner, who projects to be the 1A in this backfield. As you can see, Evan and I are still very much “in” on Kromah for Devy purposes, but have to consider the possibility he isn’t quite the prospect we thought he would be.

The Devy rankings series rolls on! This time, we’re covering the prospects ranked 40-31 in our consensus ranks.

If you missed my prior article covering the players ranked 50-41, you can click here to read it. For reference, our rankings are based on Superflex and Tight End Premium settings. Let’s take a look at who came in at number 40. 40. Waymond Jordan (RB – USC) Jim’s ranking – 44th Evan’s ranking – 39th RB11 overall Waymond Jordan started his career at a JUCO in 2023, breaking out as a sophomore and winning Offensive Player of the Year in 2024. That season, he rushed for over 1,600 yards and 20 touchdowns for Hutchinson Community College in Kansas, averaging a robust 7.4 yards per attempt (YPA). He made the jump to the Power 4 in 2025, playing for the USC Trojans, where he quickly found success, but missed the second half of the year with an ankle injury. It was a small sample size (88 rush attempts), but Jordan put up some incredible per-rush numbers in 2025, averaging 6.5 YPA and 5.15 yards after contact per attempt (YCO/A). The most impressive number was his 33% juke rate, forcing […]

If Cam Coleman frustrated you last season, you weren’t imagining it. The talent showed up in flashes, but the week-to-week production never really settled in. Between the quarterback play and everything going on at Auburn, it was hard to know what you were really watching from one game to the next. That’s how good players end up getting pushed to the side. Not because they aren’t talented, but because the situation never lets the truth come through. That’s where Cam was. And that’s why it’s time to reset how we’re looking at him.
