Dynasty Rookie Draft Advice

RJ Harvey (RB – UCF)

R.J. Harvey is small (5-9, 208) and overaged (24). But holy-moly, what a fun player to watch. Harvey has outstanding quickness and lateral agility. His jump-cuts are something to behold. Harvey also has great vision, quickly discerning where holes are and decisively dashing through them. He’s also a capable pass catcher and a high academic achiever. The production at UCF the last two years was absurd: 42 touchdowns, just under 3,000 rushing yards, and more than 500 receiving yards. The ageists and sizeists aren’t going to like Harvey, but open-minded dynasty managers might fall in love with him.

Jaylin Noel (WR – Iowa State)

Noel is an impressive route runner. He adds subtle jab steps, pacing shakeups, and head fakes to his routes. Noel was primarily a slot receiver in college (72.7% slot), but he also has the skills to win from the perimeter. Noel can also win downfield and has solid ball tracking. Noel attacks defenders with a varied release package. He has smooth, easy acceleration with the raw speed to nail big plays downfield. He can pull away from corners in routes and in the open field. Noel plays through contact well. He has the upper body strength and the route skills to beat physical corners and press coverage. Noel flashed an increasingly dependable set of hands in college, with a 4.8% drop rate in his final season and a 52% contested catch rate. His play strength shows up at the catch point as he has more than a few snags with multiple defenders competing with him for the ball. He attacks the ball outside of his frame with aggressive hands.

Colston Loveland (TE – Michigan)

Unlike Tyler Warren, Colston Loveland is a young TE prospect – he’ll turn 21 shortly before the draft. In his best college season (2023), Colston’s receiving numbers were about half of what Warren produced in 2024. But let’s consider the circumstances. Michigan’s offense was run-heavy in the Wolverines’ 2023 national championship season. In 2024, Michigan’s quarterbacking was awful. The 6-5, 245-pound Loveland is a freaky athlete with a huge catch radius and impressive route-running knowhow. His potential is immense.

TreVeyon Henderson (RB – Ohio State)

TreVeyon Henderson probably isn’t cut out to be an NFL workhorse. He never had more than 183 carries in any of his three seasons at OSU. He split work with Quinshon Judkins as a senior and didn’t have more than 12 carries in any game last fall. But let’s face it: There aren’t many true workhorses in the NFL, anyway. Henderson is a sensational playmaker capable of making hay on 12-15 touches a game a la James Cook. Henderson has big-time speed, sports car acceleration and quick feet. He changes direction with minimal loss of speed, and his cutbacks are jaw-dropping. He’s useful in the passing game (11.1 yards per catch over his college career) and deadly on screens.
