Flag Planting for the 2026 College Football Season

Long-term success in Devy and C2C formats means planting your flag on college prospects early, before the market catches up. Some player takes that your league mates consider absurd today could be consensus in a couple of months; that’s how fast this landscape moves.

With that in mind, I’m going on record with four of my spiciest Devy/C2C takes for the 2026 CFB season. There will always be swings and misses in these formats, but when I do make contact, I want it to be a home run.

1. Mario Craver will be runner-up for the Biletnikoff and go in Round 1 of the 2027 NFL Draft. 

Mario Craver is one of the more polarizing players in Devy formats today. There are certainly “truthers” (like myself) out there, but most are concerned his playstyle and frame will limit his NFL ceiling. 

I have very few concerns with Craver. Sure, he’s undersized, but he reportedly put on a ton of size this offseason and is up to 180 pounds. He always played bigger than his listed size, but physicality should no longer be an issue. 

Craver is a twitchy, dynamic route runner who can win at all three levels and has the acceleration to take the top off of defenses. He was also outproducing first-round talent KC Concepcion in the early part of the 2025 season, with 440 receiving yards and four touchdowns through the first three games. Craver has his quarterback, Marcel Reed, back, and projects to be the clear WR1 for the Aggies. 1200 yards and eight touchdowns will be his floor in 2026.

2. Jonathan Hatton Jr. will be the Sooners’ clear RB1 by the end of the season. 

I’ll take it a step further: Hatton will be valued as a top 12 running back in Devy by this time next year. He has plenty of backfield competition this year, with Xavier Robinson and Tory Blaylock returning, as well as Colorado State transfer Lloyd Avant. But I think the consensus four-star freshman will ultimately prove to be the most talented of the bunch and be a starter late in the year. 

Hatton has received nothing but rave reviews from the Oklahoma coaching staff this offseason. Reports say he’s around 230 pounds right now, but highly explosive and lightning fast for his size. 

I liked what I saw on his high school tape, displaying a willingness to initiate contact and showing decisiveness behind the line. He’s more of your one-cut, downhill runner, and once he gets momentum, he’s tough to bring down. I think Hatton could be really special.

Top 10 ACC Wide Receivers for C2C Supplemental & Startup Drafts

You all know what time it is: time for another edition of our Campus 2 Canton ranking series! In this article, @DffFrankPanthro and @jim_DFF cover their consensus top-10 wide receivers in the ACC from a C2C perspective. If you missed either of the first two articles in this series, you can check out the quarterback article here and the running back article here. 

1. Malachi Toney, Miami
Frank’s rank – WR1
Jim’s rank – WR1
Written by – Frank
Why He’s Ranked Here

Malachi Toney is ranked here because I believe he’s the best wide receiver in the ACC entering 2026 and one of the best overall Campus assets in C2C.

His freshman season was nothing short of amazing. He immediately became Miami’s go-to receiver, setting school records while leading the nation in receptions. Now he gets another talented quarterback in Darian Mensah, giving him every opportunity to build on an already elite season.

For me, Toney checks every box. He’s an elite CFF producer, an elite C2C asset. There aren’t many receivers I’d rather build around.

Verified Stats

In 2025 at Miami, Toney caught 109 passes for 1,211 yards (11.1 yards per catch ) and 10 touchdowns in 16 games. He also rushed 23 times for 113 yards and one touchdown, finishing with 1,622 all-purpose yards.

Supplemental Draft Outlook

Toney should already be rostered in virtually every supplemental draft. If he somehow isn’t, he becomes one of the easiest selections on the board. He’s a true difference-maker who can anchor your Campus lineup from Day 1.

Startup Draft Outlook

Toney is one of the first receivers I’m looking to build around. He gives you elite weekly production today while also carrying the type of long-term upside Dynasty managers look for. He’s one of the rare players who strengthens both your Campus roster and your Dynasty pipeline.

Strengths
Always seems to find a way to get the football
Proven production against ACC competition
Dangerous after the catch
Versatile offensive weapon
High NFL upside
Biggest Question

Can Toney repeat a record-breaking freshman season now that every defense will build its game plan around stopping him? The talent is obvious, but maintaining that level of production won’t be easy.

Always Be Scouting Take

This one is pretty simple for me. Toney already proved he can produce at a high level, and Miami’s offense should continue to run through him. He’s one of the safest wide receivers in CFF and C2C, and I think he has a real shot to become an NFL 1st Round Draft pick. When I can get elite Campus production with a player who also has Dynasty upside, that’s exactly the type of player I want to build around.

Draft Grade: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Elite Target

2. Bryant Wesco, Clemson
Frank’s rank – WR2
Jim’s rank – WR2
Written by – Jim
Why He’s Ranked Here

Bryant Wesco was a big name in college fantasy before stepping foot on Clemson’s campus, coming in as a four-star recruit and a borderline top-10 wide receiver in the 2024 class. He lived up to the hype as a true freshman, amassing 700 receiving yards and five touchdowns alongside some tough target competition. He was off to an even better start as a sophomore before suffering a traumatic back injury in Week 8, sidelining him for the remainder of the season. 

If Wesco is fully healthy, there’s a legitimate case for him being the second most talented wide receiver in the country, behind Jeremiah Smith. He’s a twitchy, explosive receiver who can line up anywhere on the field, with elite route running chops to separate consistently. 

Verified Stats

Wesco has posted some strong peripheral numbers through his first two seasons, with a 22.5% target rate and 2.37 yards per route run (YPRR). Those numbers may not scream “superstar”, but considering he was competing for targets with Antonio Williams (now on the Commanders) and T.J. Moore (another potential first-round talent), these numbers are about as good as you could ask for from an underclassman in the Power 4. 

Supplemental Draft Outlook

In almost every supplemental draft, Wesco is already going to be on a roster, and you’ll likely have to acquire him through a trade.

Startup Draft Outlook

Wesco is someone who should go off the board near the end of Round 1 in Superflex formats for Campus startups. He’s an elite talent, a future NFL star, and arguably a top-5 C2C wide receiver today. 

Strengths
Twitchiness
Route nuance
Ball tracking
YAC ability
Versatility
Biggest Question

What version of Bryant Wesco will we see post-injury? Watching clips of him in spring practice on X, he looks like he’s back to 100%, but we’ll see once the pads are on and defenses are on the field. If he didn’t lose any burst or agility from the surgery, he’ll be a first-round pick next April.

Always Be Scouting Take

Bryant Wesco is a special talent and projects tremendously for fantasy purposes. We’ll see how the quarterback play fares at Clemson in 2026; this is really the only thing preventing him from being a league winner on the Campus side. 

Draft Grade: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Must Draft

Navigating the Campus Side: Expert Picks and Draft Strategy (Part 1)

We’re well into the DFF C2C Bragging Rights startup draft, a highly competitive C2C league bringing together content creators from Dynasty Football Factory and Campus 2 Canton. After wrapping up the “Canton” draft, the “Campus” draft is now underway. With roughly 20 rounds in the books, we’re approaching the halfway point.

This will be Part 1 of my draft series, where I’ll break down my picks from the first 10 rounds and walk through my macro-level strategy. Keep an eye out for future editions, where I cover my middle and late-round selections.

A few notes for context: this is a managed league (not best ball), with a start-12, 2QB/Superflex lineup, meaning you can start up to three quarterbacks. With that in mind, let’s review my picks and where I’m headed from here.

Dynasty Buy and Sell: Week 12 (Trades)

This week, I continue the theme as the trade deadline draws even closer. Most leagues wrapped up trading on November 17, so I had to make the right calls quickly before the window closed. This is the stretch of the season when smart managers start shaping their roster for both the playoff push and the long game. Every move matters right now, and the best trades are usually the ones you make before everyone else sees them coming. I’ve been rebuilding my Dynasty roster while staying competitive in my C2C leagues, making sure every move lines up with where I want my teams to be. My goal is always to help you spot value, think ahead, and make confident decisions in your own leagues. Light up that cigar, pour yourself a bourbon, and let’s dive into this week’s trades. Win Now, Brag Later.
