Second Round Dynasty Sleeper: Mike Washington Jr.

Dynasty, Rookie, Rookie Player Profiles / By /

From the University of Arkansas, Mike Washington Jr. has the potential to be one of the second-round steals in 2026 Dynasty Rookie Drafts. The 22-year-old put up some impressive numbers during his final collegiate season. At 6’1” and 223 pounds, his power and speed combination is built to handle a heavy workload. Washington Jr. can run through and past defenders in a hurry, and he’s someone who could very well outperform where he’ll get drafted. To put things simply, he’s someone who will be a problem in the NFL. Washington Jr. is a player who, depending on where he ends up, could quickly become an NFL starter immediately or at some point during the season and become a very valuable Dynasty running back. Let’s take a closer look at him. * Within this article, the statistics were pulled from Sports Reference, KeepTradeCut (KTC), and Sleeper. College Production (2021 – 2025) Washington Jr., a two-star recruit, committed to his first three collegiate seasons at Buffalo, transferred to New Mexico State before entering the transfer portal one more time for his final year of eligibility, where he ended his collegiate time at Arkansas and saw career highs in all statistical categories. This past season, Washington Jr. earned second-team All-SEC, where he rushed for 1,070 yards with eight rushing touchdowns. Additionally, he’s shown he can also be a dual-threat, adding 28 receptions on 226 receiving yards and one receiving touchdown.  In 2025, he became the 16th player in Arkansas history to eclipse 1,000 rushing yards, and he was named second-team All-SEC. The highlight […]

Seth McGowan: The Long Road Back

Dynasty, Rookie, Rookie Player Profiles / By /

Seth McGowan’s path to the 2026 NFL Draft is one of the more unusual stories in this class. Early in his career at Oklahoma, he looked like the next talented running back to come through that program. Instead, a legal incident nearly ended his career before it really started. What followed was a long road back through smaller programs and multiple stops before he finally returned to the SEC and put himself back on the NFL radar. A Promising Start That Fell Apart In 2020, McGowan showed real promise at Oklahoma. The former four-star recruit played in eight games as a freshman, rushing for 370 yards and catching 13 passes for 201 yards. His 143 total yards in the Cotton Bowl showed the kind of playmaking ability that had people believing he could become the next productive Oklahoma running back. That momentum ended in April of 2021. McGowan was arrested following an armed robbery investigation and was dismissed from the Oklahoma program. He later pleaded guilty to felony larceny, served three months in jail, and received a year of probation. Just like that, his football future was suddenly in doubt. The Long Road Back McGowan did not play football for two seasons while rebuilding his life and career. His first stop was Texas College, an NAIA program where he never appeared in a game. From there, he transferred to Butler Community College in 2023, where he played 6 games and began rebuilding his football reputation. In 2024, McGowan returned to the FBS level at New Mexico State. The talent was

Denzel Boston – 2026 Dynasty Rookie Prospect

Rookie, Rookie Player Profiles / By /

Denzel Boston Is Just a Good Football Player. He’s not the flashiest guy you’ll see, but he just keeps showing up. Some guys win with speed. Others win by being bigger or stronger. The ones that really stick usually win with technique, control, and knowing how to play the position. That’s where Denzel Boston stands out, and that’s why he’s my WR4 in the 2026 draft class. At 6’4” and 210 pounds, Boston looks the part right away. He uses his size, plays strong at the catch point, and consistently finishes through contact. He’s not just tall. He knows how to use his frame, shield defenders, and go get the football. Ball skills matter, and Boston has shown that over and over. That’s why I view him as a premier boundary X-receiver prospect. He doesn’t need to blow past defenders to win. He wins with body control, timing, and how he comes out of his breaks. He sinks his hips, stays balanced, and plays under control. That’s why his game works. Agility and short-area quickness show up more than straight-line speed, and Boston understands how to use that to his advantage. That showed up early in high school at Emerald Ridge, where he put together 105 catches for 1,572 yards and 23 touchdowns over his career. He played strong, attacked the ball, and dominated with a “my ball” mentality. That same physical approach carried with him into college. At Washington, his career didn’t happen overnight. He worked his way up. He went from a depth piece to a trusted target,

Skyler Bell – 2026 Dynasty Rookie Prospect

Rookie, Rookie Player Profiles / By /

As we head into the fantasy offseason, it’s time to place our focus on the 2026 rookie class to ensure we are hitting on our Dynasty rookie picks and maximizing value. In today’s article, we’ll be diving into the prospect profile of Skyler Bell, WR, UConn. Bell has not gotten a ton of attention in Dynasty circles thus far, but is projected as a Round 3 selection in the 2026 NFL Draft, according to consensus Big Boards on NFL Mock Draft Database. Is this a prospect worth investing in this offseason? Let’s find out together.  High School  Skyler Bell was a three-star recruit from Taft School in Watertown, CT. As a junior in 2019, Taft caught 36 passes for 549 yards and eight touchdowns, adding another touchdown on the ground as well. Bell’s elite athleticism and long speed were on display every Friday night, as his high school coach stated he ran a 4.40 40-yard dash and had a 40+ inch vertical. Bell’s senior year was cancelled due to the COVID pandemic. He received nine Power 4 offers after high school and signed with the Wisconsin Badgers to begin his college football career. Wisconsin (2021-23) Bell spent his first three seasons with the Badgers, where he found some success in his second and third years but was never a true difference-maker. His best season at Wisconsin came as a redshirt freshman in 2022, posting 30 receptions for 444 yards and five touchdowns.  While Bell had proven to be a quality college receiver at this point, it’s no secret that Wisconsin’s
