Dynasty Rookie Draft Targets

Ja’Tavion Sanders (TE – Texas)

After securing Drake Maye with their first-round pick, the Washington Commanders work on improving his receiving corps. Logan Thomas has been serviceable but turns 33 before the start of next season and could get cut in the offseason, saving the team over $6 million in cap space. Meanwhile, Curtis Samuel is set to be a free agent and likely won’t return. Ja’Tavion Sanders could be a first-round pick, making him a value early in the second. – Fanelli

Braelon Allen (RB – Wisconsin)

Braelon Allen has a case to be the RB1 of this class. The likely departure of Saquon Barkley this offseason leaves a huge hole to be filled in this offense, and Braelon Allen should be a day-one starter for the G-Men. Only 19 years old, Allen is a big, bruising back who has a surprising ability to do damage as a pass-catcher. He has some consistency issues, but that is expected, being such a young player. He has unlimited upside and should see volume early and often. – Enriquez

Jonathon Brooks (RB – Texas)

With the Texans addressing a pass-rushing need with their first-round selection, the organization adds a piece to their offense by selecting Jonathon Brooks. The versatile running back has flashed plenty of explosive play-making ability despite limited touches out of the loaded Texas backfield before the 2023 season. In addition, his ability to catch the ball out of the backfield and make defenders miss provides breakout 2023 rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud with another option that likely makes the Texans’ offense even more lethal in 2024. – Schommer
