In today’s article, I’m breaking down my most recent dynasty startup draft, covering everything from my draft strategy to player values and roster construction. The goal is to leave you with a few ideas you can take into your own startup drafts this offseason. In this particular draft, I was able to construct a team I believe can compete in Year 1 while being built for long-term dominance. With the help of the DFF Dynasty Control Room, I was able to maximize value by reviewing consensus big boards and checking “top players available” with every pick. According to DFF consensus, it paid off, as I finished with the best draft class in the league.

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.
This article covers the final post-NFL Draft analytical model rankings for the wide receiver position. These WR1 model rankings will be your ultimate guide to predicting which prospects will produce the most fantasy points in their NFL career.
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.

Jordyn Tyson was a four-year college player who began with the Colorado Buffaloes in 2022 and transferred to finish his career with the Arizona State Sun Devils from 2023 to 2025. As a freshman, Tyson showed some flashes in the nine games that he played, catching 22 passes for 470 yards and 4 touchdowns prior to tearing his ACL, MCL, and PCL. After an injury-plagued 2023 season where he never saw the field, Tyson truly broke out in a Sun Devils uniform in 2024, catching 75 passes for 1,101 yards and 10 touchdowns. His 2025 season saw him take a significant step back in raw numbers, however. He caught only 61 balls for 711 yards and 8 touchdowns, but it is well known that he was limited by a hamstring injury for a couple of games.
FILM
If you ignore the injury history and only pay attention to his on-field work, Jordyn Tyson was one of the most dominant wide receivers in all of college football. He possesses a versatile skill set that allows him to thrive at all levels of the field. He has produced on the outside, in the slot, and in motion, which makes him a movable chess piece for any offensive coordinator. He is an elite athlete with exceptional body control and soft hands that can reel in any ball thrown his way. He lacks elite speed, but wins with an excellent release package and savvy route running. He also has a basketball background that shows up frequently on tape, particularly in the red zone.

Though Tyson did not do any on-field drills at the NFL Scouting Combine, he did host a pro day that left many NFL scouts salivating. He showed off his twitch, athleticism, explosiveness, and leaping ability that helped him to be successful throughout his college career. He did not do any athletic testing during his pro day, but he has been previously clocked around a 4.5s 40-yard dash and was able to bench press 26 times at the combine.

In 2026 rookie drafts, Jeremiyah Love is the clear 1.01, and Fernando Mendoza sits right behind him at 1.02 in Superflex, PPR, and Tight End Premium formats. After those two, my next pick starts with Carnell Tate, then Makai Lemon, then Kenyon Sadiq, and then Jordyn Tyson. That order comes down to a mix of safety, upside, positional value, and how clean the path feels to early fantasy relevance. Tate is the safest wide receiver in the group. Lemon brings the most explosive upside. Sadiq gets a real bump in tight end premium because the athletic ceiling is different at that position. Tyson has the talent, but the risk profile is heavier than the other three.
