Dynasty Draft Values
We go round-by-round to identify the best dynasty draft values based on ADP (average draft position).
Round 7 – Kyler Murray (QB – ARI)
Speaking of an up-and-coming Arizona offense, Murray is the captain of that ship. Last year, he wasn’t at 100% coming off a torn ACL. However, the star quarterback averaged 20.4 fantasy points per game over the first four years of his career. Furthermore, he was a top-seven quarterback on a points-per-game basis in three of those seasons. Fantasy players should expect more top-seven finishes as he develops chemistry with Marvin Harrison Jr. and Michael Wilson over the next few years.
Round 8 – Christian Kirk (WR – JAC)
Kirk was the biggest winner from Calvin Ridley signing with the Tennessee Titans in free agency. He had three receiving touchdowns in 2023 after totaling a career-high eight in his first season with Jacksonville. While the Jaguars added Gabe Davis in free agency and used their first-round pick on Brian Thomas Jr., Kirk will remain Trevor Lawrence‘s go-to guy. The last time he was the team’s No. 1 target getting, the veteran was the WR12, averaging 14.2 fantasy points per game.
Round 9 – Ricky Pearsall (WR – SF)
Many were surprised when the 49ers took Pearsall with their first-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. However, the former Gator is a talented receiver, posting a 2.3 yards per route run average during his two years at Florida. While the rookie is stuck behind Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk on the depth chart, one of the veterans won’t be around in 2025. Furthermore, Samuel could get traded after June 1, creating over $20 million in salary cap space for San Francisco to pay Aiyuk.
