Rookie Analysis
The DFF team discusses their most-owned rookies and gives you the “why” behind each player for Dynasty purposes.
@DffFrankPanthro tells you why you should be trading for Tory Horton RIGHT NOW before the buy window closes.
Let me say this up front: I’m very high on Kyle Monangai. He’s one of those players flying way under the radar right now, going in the late rounds of startup drafts, or sitting there on waivers just waiting to be scooped. But I’ve been ahead of the curve on this one. I have so much stock in him across my leagues, and I’m telling you now before the breakout buzz starts. Grab and stash him before everyone else catches on.
One of the most valuable under-the-radar assets in Dynasty Fantasy Football has to be anyone on the running back depth chart for the 49ers. With news this week of Isaac Guerendo’s shoulder injury and nagging health history, you’re going to hear the name Jordan James more as Guerendo is expected to miss multiple weeks, and Christian McCaffrey won’t see the field until Week 1. It’s not out of the range of possibilities that we witness another Oregon RB (see Bucky Irving) quickly ascend in valuation as the season progresses.
Every year, Dynasty Fantasy Football managers are looking for hidden gems in the later rounds or undrafted players from their rookie drafts who can emerge from the shadows and help them take home a title and perhaps a little cash via FanDuel Sportsbook. Each rookie class features a handful of promising prospects who have the talent to shine at the next level, and they’re just one play away from making the most of an increased role. If you’re looking for a few rookies to stash on your Dynasty Fantasy Football roster heading into the 2025 season before the preseason, here are my picks.
KeAndre Lambert-Smith (KLS) had a nice day at the Hall of Fame Game. Two grabs for 43 yards with a TD, and yes, I get it was the first preseason contest AND we’re starving for football. But if you’ve been paying attention to Chargers Training Camp reports, you already know KLS has been the emerging story.
Frank breaks down why Cam Skattebo could become an integral part of this New York Giants offense and possibly become a must-start in Dynasty.
@MonicasHubby explains why grabbing Jacory Croskey-Merritt late in your Dynasty Rookie drafts could pay dividends in the long run.

At this time we’re going to spotlight early to mid-third-round Dynasty tight end rookie prospects, Mason Taylor and Terrance Ferguson. I’ve seen questions regarding which players should be drafted higher within this year’s rookie class, and I wanted to dive deeply into each prospect. Everyone wants to know when it comes to Dynasty rookie drafts: Do I draft Mason Taylor or Terrance Ferguson first?
