@force_fantasy begins his Dynasty rankings series with a ~FREE~ sneak peak at his “Dynasty1” model, as well as his Top 10 ranked players in Dynasty, Superflex, PPR formats.
Dynasty teams, competing immediately or punting to the future, are built in what I like to call The Championship Rounds. Historically, you don’t lose leagues in the first three rounds, and you’re committing to a specific type of build in Rounds 4-6. When you hit Round 7,+ it’s about finding pieces that not only fill out your squad but present certain types of floor and upside, along with a combination of youth and veteran production. We finish off in this Superflex Format + PPR + TEP (.5) + three Flex spots.
@FatherDynasty discusses the thought processes behind his player selections in Rounds 4-6 from the DFF Dynasty startup mock.

@jim_DFF covers his Round 4-6 selections in the DFF Dynasty startup mock, and his thought process behind each pick.
After walking away from the first three rounds with Brock Bowers, Ashton Jeanty, and Baker Mayfield, I entered Day 2 of the startup draft ready to build around that elite foundation, locking in key contributors who offer immediate upside and long-term star potential. With the 4.02, 5.11, and 6.02 picks, I continued drafting with conviction and walked away with three players who each have league-winning upside.

We saw yet another trade fest in Round 5 as 8 picks were acquired via transaction. I have to say that Rounds 1-3 played out pretty much as I expected but when we hit Rounds 4-5, that’s when the party started. As we progressed through the rest of the draft, the high level of activity continued and everybody pretty much agreed that the league was expected to be among the most active whether owners had small volume or crazy volume (40+ for yours truly). We wrap up our coverage with Part 5 of 5.
Round 4 jumped off the rails as seven of the 12 picks selected came via trade. By far the most active part of the startup, the movement here set the tone for the rest of the draft. At this point, the feeling out portion had concluded and it was officially game on – Round 4 of 5 was fireworks personified.
Not much in the way of trades as we moved through Round 3 but our first rookies came off the board at 3.04 (Ashton Jeanty) and 3.06 (Tet McMillan). Tet would later be moved via a blockbuster deal between @FFDelly and @DFF_MR – full download below. We also witnessed two more TEs drafted at the top of Round 3 as both @dirrim23 and @DFF_MR opted to lock down top-tier options with the Tight End Premium and take full advantage of the Third Round Reversal benefit. The DFF League of Record Startup Draft continues with Part 3 of 5.
The DFF Team volleys content ideas regularly in search of compelling articles at pertinent times. And though we’ve found our focus primarily on the 2025 NFL Rookie Prospects as of late, I asked the squad to pull together a mock start-up for the first five rounds. As the ideas started to percolate, @FFChalmers threw out the notion to not only cover the genesis of a startup draft, as we have done so many times in the past, but this time to make it an actual league. A bunch of us looked around the room and said, “Duh,” – so the DFF Dynasty League of Record was born (not to be confused with the other 5-6 DFF Leagues currently in operation). We hope that you can glean from the strategies, at least early on, should you choose to join a Startup before Free Agency or the NFL Draft. We start with the first round – Part 1 of 5.
