Meet the 2026 Rookie RB With Elite Contact Balance

Dynasty, Rookie, Rookie Player Profiles / By /

Missed Tackles Forced Per Attempt is one of the more predictive analytical statistics for running backs for future fantasy success. Over the past three years, the top 6 running backs with the highest college career missed tackles forced per attempt rate are: Bijan Robinson – 39.3% Trey Benson – 39.2% Tyrone Tracy – 38.5% Ashton Jeanty – 37.8% Bucky Irving – 36.2% For a singular metric, that is a nice hit rate. Then how is it, in an absolutely horrible running back class overall, there is a prospect with an otherworldly 46.9% missed tackles forced per attempt career rate that no one is talking about?  Fam, meet Terion Stewart.  So why haven’t you heard of Stewart? Well, for one, he was used sparingly at Virginia Tech this past season. Before that, he played four years for Bowling Green. Before you say, “Ahhh, Bowling Green,” well, remember this is the same college that just produced Harold Fannin Jr. The MAC is definitely not the SEC, but it is a competitive conference. While at Bowling Green, Stewart never eclipsed 1,000 yards rushing, staying under the radar of the best teams. He did rush for 917 and 753 his last two years there, however. The Hokies brought Stewart over for his final college season. Stewart suffered a series of injuries that forced him into a walking boot in August, which was then followed by a shoulder injury in October. He finished the year with a mediocre 82 attempts for 469 yards. Oh, and remember how you were concerned about Stewart compiling those stats […]

Malachi Fields: Why He Wins Without Elite Speed

Dynasty, Rookie, Rookie Player Profiles / By /

Malachi Fields looks like an NFL “X” receiver the moment he walks on the field. At 6’4” and over 220 pounds, he brings prototype size and play strength to the position. What he does is win at the catch point and make defensive backs feel small in the air. Fields isn’t a burner. He’s not going to win with suddenness or quick separation. He wins with size and strength when the ball is in the air. Production That Matches the Role Fields spent the majority of his career at Virginia before transferring to Notre Dame for the 2025 season. Across three seasons, he totaled 165 catches for 2,479 yards and 16 touchdowns, averaging just over 15 yards per reception. In 2025 at Notre Dame, he caught 36 passes for 630 yards and 5 touchdowns, averaging 17.5 yards per reception. When the ball went up, he gave his quarterback a chance. He wasn’t a target magnet. He was a chain mover and a scoring option who finished plays down the field and in the red zone. How Fields Wins Everything with Fields starts with his frame. Defensive backs struggle to slow him down once he gets moving. He builds speed as he goes, and that shows up in his routes. Against press, he can be a bit of a slow starter and will need to refine his release package at the next level. Once he gets moving, though, his size becomes a problem. Defensive backs struggle to reroute him, and he uses his body well to shield defenders on verticals and

Post-Season Dynasty Rookie Rankings: Running Backs 7-10

Dynasty / By /

We did it, fam. We made it through one of the craziest Fantasy Regular Seasons I’ve experienced in a decade because of either injury, Covid, odd bye week scheduling due to the extra game, or more injuries. But alas, we’ve reached the bittersweet transition into the Post-Season and it’s time to game-plan a playoff push or rebuild for 2022 and beyond. Managers should be making moves with the 2021 Rookie Class regardless of whether they’re winners or losers. And what better way to help ensure the right moves are being made than by creating a soon-to-be controversial Dynasty Rankings list by position. We’ll rank and assess The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly Truth of all the high-profile rookies to gauge their dynasty trade value starting with running backs.

Welcome everybody to the start of a brand new day for Dynasty Football Factory! After months of hard work by the best fantasy football crew out there, I am proud to introduce you all to a brand new Rankings page. This is a huge step for our team for a multitude of reasons.

We are lucky to have some of the smartest working individuals in the fantasy football industry on our team and now we can show you insight from way more of them. Below I’ll introduce you to our expanded ranking team so you can get to know exactly who you’re trusting with your dynasty teams. Second, this new format allows us to bring you more relevant information such as age and bye weeks whereas the last rankings page only showed players and their team. Last, the new format is dynamic and allows us to easily add new features. This is key for us as we continue to build upon the product we offer to the DFF Army. If you think we’re done making advancements, you are wrong. There will be even more exciting features coming to the site as a whole, as well as the rankings page!
