2026 NFL Draft Coverage: De’Zhaun Stribling

All Access, Dynasty, Rookie / By /

De’Zhaun Stribling was drafted by the San Francisco 49ers, becoming the 6th wide receiver and 33rd overall player in the 2026 NFL Draft.

COLLEGE PRODUCTION

Stribling was a five-year player in college, starting his career at Washington State, where he played his first two seasons. Stribling was a Year 1 producer, nearly hitting 500 receiving yards and five touchdowns as a true freshman. 

He failed to take that next step forward with the Cougars in his sophomore season, transferring to Oklahoma State for the 2023-24 season. He suffered a wrist injury in his first year at Stillwater and missed all but four games that season, ultimately electing to redshirt. 

Stribling broke out in Year 4 as a redshirt junior for the Cowboys, hauling in 52 receptions for 882 yards and six touchdowns. He posted an impressive 25.5% target rate and 2.44 yards per route run that season, both career bests for the young man.

Dynasty Football Factory’s 2026 NFL Draft Coverage: Omar Cooper Jr.

All Access, Dynasty, Rookie / By /

Omar Cooper Jr. |Indiana |6’0, 199 lbs | 22 Years Old

Omar Cooper Jr. was drafted by the N.Y. Jets, becoming the 5th wide receiver and 30th overall player in the 2026 NFL Draft.

COLLEGE PRODUCTION

Omar Cooper Jr. took a real jump in 2025 and showed he could be more than just a piece of the offense. He became a true go-to target for Indiana and produced like it.

He finished with 69 catches for 937 yards and 13 touchdowns, and what really stands out is how efficiently he was doing it. His 81.4% catch rate is strong, and his 21.3% target share shows the offense trusted him in a big way.

This was not just a guy catching a few schemed-up touches. He was a major part of the passing game and delivered week after week.

The touchdown jump also matters. Finding the end zone 13 times tells you he knows how to get open when the field gets tight and the windows get smaller.

FILM

Omar Cooper Jr. is a big, powerful athlete who plays with a “bully” mentality.

The first thing that jumps out is his initial burst. He has a serious gear right at the start of the play that catches defenders off guard, helping him get downfield in a hurry. While he’s explosive in a straight line, he can look a bit “clunky” or stiff when he has to make sharp turns. He doesn’t always have that smooth, fluid movement you see from smaller guys, but he makes up for it with raw strength.

He plays much bigger than his 6’0″ frame. He’s an explosive leaper who loves to go up and grab the ball out of the air at its highest point. He is extremely comfortable catching the ball while being hit, using his strong hands and sturdy frame to shield defenders away. For a quarterback, he’s a great target because he makes the “throwing window” feel much larger than it actually is.

After the catch, he’s a handful. He runs like a rugged ball carrier, often bouncing off multiple tacklers and fighting for every extra inch. He isn’t just looking to get out of bounds; he’s looking to punish defenders in the open field.

2026 NFL Draft Coverage: Ty Simpson

All Access, Dynasty, Rookie / By /

Ty Simpson enters the NFL as a developmental quarterback prospect after being selected with the 13th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft by the Los Angeles Rams.

COLLEGE PRODUCTION

Prior to 2025, Simpson did not see much meaningful game action, mostly playing mop-up or relief duties. 

In his 2025 season, his first as Alabama’s starter, Simpson completed 305-of-473 passes (64.5%) for 3,567 yards, 28 touchdowns, and 5 interceptions across 15 games. He added 93 rushing yards and 2 scores on the ground, but does not profile as a dual-threat for the pros. 

FILM

Simpson operates with excellent rhythm and shows the ability to throw with anticipation, particularly on intermediate routes over the middle. He displays a high football IQ, comfortable navigating complex protections and identifying blitzers pre-snap. While not a dynamic run-threat, he is athletic enough to extend plays and maneuver the pocket to create passing lanes. Despite his strong start to the 2025 season, Simpson’s play toward the end of the season revealed developmental hurdles that NFL coaching will need to address. He displayed a tendency to hold the ball too long, leading to an 18.3% pressure-to-sack rate, which resulted in him taking unnecessary hits rather than utilizing his check-downs or throwing the ball away, and led to overall decreased efficiency. Additionally, his deep-ball accuracy remained inconsistent, and he will need to improve his ability to scan the entire field when his primary progression is taken away by sophisticated zone coverages.

Carnell Tate

2026 NFL Draft Coverage: Carnell Tate

All Access, Dynasty, Rookie / By /

Carnell Tate was a 3-year player for The Ohio State Buckeyes and was a starter in both 2024 and 2025. He steadily improved his production with each passing season. His freshman season saw him catch 18 passes for 264 yards and 1 touchdown. His most productive season came as a senior, where he caught 51 balls for 875 yards and 9 touchdowns. He played alongside multiple highly-touted receivers throughout his time at Ohio State, including Marvin Harrison Jr., Emeka Egbuka and Jeremiah Smith, which meant that he was never the primary target for the Buckeyes. Even still, it should be noted that he managed to produce great numbers despite being the team’s secondary target which could indicate that he can take on a larger role at the next level.

 

FILM

 

Carnell Tate might be the most fluid mover at the wide receiver position in this draft class. He is not an elite athlete, nor is he going to blow you away with speed, but he is an extremely polished route runner and technically sound receiver who wins with body control, precision and an adept understanding of the opposing defensive coverages. He has a knack for winning 50/50 scenarios and will allow his quarterback to trust him even if he isn’t creating obvious separation. His game at the next level will largely be predicated on scheme. If he is deployed on the outside to win deep or is asked to win consistently against press coverage he will struggle. His strengths are in finding the soft spots in zone coverages and in the short and intermediate sections of the field.

Dynasty Football Factory’s 2026 NFL Draft Coverage: Kenyon Sadiq

All Access, Dynasty, Rookie / By /

h2>Kenyon Sadiq | Oregon | 6’3”, 241 lbs | Mar 4, 2005 (21 years)

Kenyon Sadiq was drafted by the New York Jets, becoming the 1st tight end and 16th overall player in the 2026 NFL Draft.

COLLEGE PRODUCTION

Year Games Played Receptions Receiving Yards Yards/Catch TD’s
2023 (Oregon) 14 5 24 4.80 1
2024 (Oregon) 14 24 308 12.80 2
2025 (Oregon) 14 51 560 11.00 8

*Statistics Pulled from Sports Reference*
In 2025, Sadiq won many accolades. Notably, he was a Second-team Associated Press All-American, Big Ten Conference TE of the Year, and first-team All-Big Ten. Most impressively, he was a finalist for the John Mackey Award (nation’s top TE). Statistically, Sadiq led FBS TE’s with 8 receiving touchdowns and set an Oregon school record for TEs with 51 receptions. Sadiq is projected to be a 1st-round selection by NFL Mock Draft Database, and Lance Zierlein has a player comparison of Trey McBride. 

FILM

STRENGTHS
Sadiq wows you with his athletics, but he’s also a very versatile tight end with a polished and robust route tree. He gets in and out of his breaks with very good snap and separation and owns man coverage. Sadiq is also very agile and has great acceleration after the catch, as showcased by his 4.29 40-yard time during the NFL Combine. Most impressively, he’s handled his run blocks with proper positioning and base width. Overall, he’s able to make things easier for play-callers and quarterbacks moving the ball downfield. He has the body control and impressive hand strength to win contested catches.

WEAKNESSES

The first noticeable red flag with Sadiq is that even though he has the frame to be a very solid blocker, he’s just adequate, as he gives good effort. He will occasionally also allow balls to hit the ground on lower difficulty plays and shows inconsistent catch focus on throws above his numbers. Edge rushers also play across his face when he’s based up, and he needs to avoid leaning as a point-of-attack blocker. All of these are things he can clean up with further commitment and development.

2026 NFL Draft Coverage: KC Concepcion

All Access, Dynasty, Rookie / By /

KC Concepcion began his career playing for the North Carolina State Wolfpack, where he quickly showed off his talent with 71 catches for 839 yards and 10 touchdowns while also running the ball 41 times for 320 yards. It was one of the more impressive freshman seasons that we have seen in recent memory, though much of his production was manufactured closer to the line of scrimmage. He saw considerable regression in 2024 during his sophomore season, catching only 53 balls for 460 yards and 6 touchdowns in nearly an equivalent amount of games. There are some questions as to whether the offense and quarterback were simply too poor to get him the ball that season, or if he was experiencing a sophomore slump after teams had some film on him.

Concepcion bet on himself, however, and transferred to Texas A&M for his third and final season of college football. He put together arguably his best season with the Aggies and showed improvements in his skill set that were encouraging, leading up to his jump to the NFL. He caught 61 balls for 919 yards and 9 touchdowns, which led the SEC. His 15.1 Y/R was also the best of his college career. 

FILM

The first thing that jumps off the screen when you turn on the tape for KC Concepcion is his natural explosive ability and knack for creating separation in the short and intermediate parts of the field. He is a friendly target for his quarterback due to the ease with which he gains separation at the break point of his routes. Between his time with NC State and Texas A&M, he showed versatility in lining up both outside and in the slot, along with out of the backfield. He is a player who you just put the ball in his hands and watch him go to work, and a creative offensive playcaller will have a field day.

2026 NFL Draft Coverage: Makai Lemon

All Access, Dynasty, Rookie / By /

Lemon began his college career as a highly touted recruit who had the ability on both sides of the ball. After an underwhelming Freshman year, questions were raised if he would be converted to CB full time. Lemon took a major step forward with a productive Sophomore year.

A Biletnikoff Award winner, Lemon finished his 2025 campaign with 79 receptions for 1,156 yards and 11 touchdowns. He was arguably the most efficient receiver in the Big Ten, particularly against zone coverage, where he posted an elite 90.1 PFF grade. 

FILM

Lemon wins with nuanced footwork and a “fearless” approach between the hashes and excels in yards after the catch. He is highly skilled at manipulating defensive leverage, using subtle cuts to create separation that his long speed alone would not generate. His soft hands and ability to fight for the ball in contested situations make him a reliable chain-mover on 3rd downs and a safety net for his QB.

Dynasty Football Factory’s 2026 NFL Draft Coverage: Jadarian Price

All Access, Dynasty, Rookie / By /

Jadarian Price |Notre Dame |5’11, 203 lbs | 22 Years Old

Jadarian Price was drafted by the Seattle Seahawks, becoming the 2nd running back and 32nd overall player in the 2026 NFL Draft.

COLLEGE PRODUCTION

Jadarian Price stepped into a bigger role for Notre Dame in 2025 and made the most of it.

He finished with 674 rushing yards on 113 carries (6.0 YPC) and 13 total touchdowns, which tells you one thing right away — he knows how to find the end zone.

Even with a smaller workload, the efficiency stands out. He made the most of his touches and consistently picked up positive yardage.

He wasn’t heavily used in the passing game with just 6 receptions, but when he was targeted, he looked comfortable catching the ball.

This is a player who didn’t need a ton of volume to produce.

price stats

FILM

Jadarian Price is a clean, no-nonsense runner.

It starts with his vision and patience. He lets blocks develop and doesn’t rush the play. He’s not dancing around in the backfield trying to bounce everything outside. He stays controlled, finds the lane, and hits it.

Once he sees it, he goes. He’s a true north-south runner, and that shows up every time he touches the ball. He’s always looking to get upfield and pick up yards.

Fernando Mendoza enters the 2026 NFL Draft as a high-IQ, pro-ready quarterback prospect, poised to step in and lead an NFL offense with confidence and poise.  

COLLEGE PRODUCTION

In his 2025 season at Indiana, Mendoza completed 273-of-379 passes (72.0%) for 3,535 yards, 41 touchdowns, and only 6 interceptions. He also added 276 rushing yards and seven touchdowns on the ground. Mendoza has a prolific Junior season, leading his team to a National Championship to pair with his Heisman trophy.

FILM

Mendoza is a highly effective pocket passer who identifies defenses rapidly, particularly when operating out of RPO-heavy schemes. He displays elite touch, specifically on seam routes and back-shoulder fades, placing the ball in areas where only his receivers can make plays. While not a dual-threat runner, he shows toughness in the pocket and enough mobility to pick up critical yardage when the play breaks down.

Jeremiyah Love | Notre Dame | 6’0 , 212 lbs | May 31, 2005 (20 years)

Jeremiyah Love was drafted by the Arizona Cardinals, becoming the 1st running back and 3rd overall player in the 2026 NFL Draft.

COLLEGE PRODUCTION

Jeremiyah Love was a three-year player and an early-declare out of Notre Dame. After a promising freshman campaign, Love broke out as a sophomore in 2024, amassing over 1,300 scrimmage yards and 19 total touchdowns. 

In 2025, Love improved upon his previous year’s raw stats in four fewer games, averaging over 114 yards and nearly two touchdowns per game. His elite production earned him the 2025 Doak Walker award and a third-place finish in the Heisman race. 

Love has always been a highly efficient rusher, averaging 4.35 yards after contact per attempt (YCO/A) and .31 missed tackles forced per attempt (MTF/A) in his career. His 1.60 career yards per route run (YPRR) also suggests he’s a very competent receiving back.

DFF Expert Devy Rankings 10-1

Devy / By /

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.

DFF Expert Devy Rankings 20-11

Devy / By /

Just like that, we’ve made it to Part 4 of 5 in our Expert Devy Rankings series. If you missed any of the first three editions, you can view those by clicking any of the links below: 

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. 

Henry jr

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

2026 Rookie WR1 Analytical Model, Version 1.0: Rankings 5 to 1

Dynasty, Rookie / By /

The Prospect Analytical Model Rankings are one of our members’ favorite series each year at Dynasty Football Factory. Years of refining and enhancing the models to accurately predict future fantasy value have brought us to today.  These WR1 model rankings are your ultimate guide to predicting which prospects will produce the most fantasy points in their NFL career.  You can find the wide receivers ranked 15 to 11 in the WR1 model here. You can find the wide receivers ranked 10 to 6 here. You can find the running back RB1 model here. For those new to the WR1 rating, it is a proprietary formula I developed in 2019 that provides a data-driven forecast of future fantasy production for incoming rookie wide receivers. There are many advanced metrics available today; we at DFF know it can be difficult to determine which ones matter and how much each matters. The WR1 model distills all that hard work into a single, easy-to-understand number. The model evaluates rookies across 13 of the most predictive metrics and combines their individual metric scores into a total WR1 rating. It was a pioneer in the fantasy analysis industry, being the first to incorporate a film-grade into the model. The goal is to provide an easy-to-use score for those who don’t want to spend hundreds of hours dissecting different metrics. Based on the prospect’s model score, I provide their probability of achieving at least one top-24 NFL Fantasy Points Per Game Season, using historical prospects with similar score ranges. The WR1 model consistently outperforms NFL draft capital

2026 DFF Expert Devy Rankings 30-21

Devy / By /

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.

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

Eli Stowers

Is Eli Stowers the Best Tight End in the 2026 Dynasty Rookie Class?

Dynasty, Rookie, Rookie Player Profiles / By /

Eli Stowers is a high-upside fantasy prospect and should be considered the premier receiving tight end in the 2026 rookie class, with borderline TE1 potential. His value stems from “WR-type” athleticism: a 4.51 40-yard dash and an all-time NFL Combine record for tight ends with a 45.5-inch vertical jump. Stowers now owns that record, and it wasn’t close. He didn’t just break it, he shattered it.

Whatever team selects him in the 2026 NFL Draft will likely deploy him as an explosive “move” TE or big slot option, with a projected landing spot in the second round. He did line up and play WR at times in college. Now, I know the NFL isn’t college, but that nugget alone speaks for itself. Ask yourself: What other tight end can say that?

The Con

Stowers isn’t a George Kittle type who’ll get it done in the trenches. He profiles more like Travis Kelce, Tyler Warren, or Brock Bowers: below-average blockers, or perhaps worse. But all of them are legitimate receiving tight ends, and nobody questions their fantasy value.

The Pro

No team drafting Stowers is taking him for his blocking. That’s exactly what creates the discount in your rookie drafts, and make no mistake, he’ll be drafted with the intent of being a lethal weapon. Organizations don’t spend Day 2 capital on someone they view as a JAG. As long as Stowers is designated as a TE and not a WR, we’re essentially looking at
