Dynasty Rookie Draft Picks

1.12 – Kaleb Johnson (RB – PIT)

Kaleb Johnson is headed to Pittsburgh, where he’s expected to replace Najee Harris as the Steelers’ primary early-down back. Johnson was a committee back his first two years at Iowa, then broke out with 240-1,537-21 rushing last fall. He’s a powerful downhill runner who’s hard to bring down if you hit him high. It’s easy to envision him being an effective goal-line back in the NFL. A good fit for offensive coordinator Arthur Smith’s zone-running scheme in Pittsburgh, Johnson is a patient runner who reads his blocks well. He doesn’t have great long speed, doesn’t change speeds often or make sharp cuts. Still, Johnson landed in a favorable spot and could make a big impact right away.

2.12 – Mason Taylor (TE – NYJ)

Taylor is headed to the Jets after they selected him in the second round of the NFL Draft. Taylor could become the number two target in the passing attack quickly, with only Josh Reynolds and Allen Lazard as his closest competition for targets. I wasn’t nearly as enamored as many with Taylor as a prospect. His athleticism was solid, with a 4.68 40-yard dash and an 83rd percentile 3-cone. Taylor should develop into a solid starting NFL tight end, but I have a hard time seeing a pathway to elite status for Taylor. Across his three seasons at LSU, he never ranked higher than 63rd in yards per route run (per PFF). Taylor finished his collegiate career with only 5.4 yards after the catch per reception and 14 missed tackles forced (129 receptions). Taylor is a late second/early third-round dynasty rookie pick that could soak up a ton of volume in year one.

3.12 – Jarquez Hunter (RB – LAR)

Hunter is arbitrage Bhayshul Tuten in fantasy football drafts. Hunter, much like Tuten, is headed to the NFL (Rams) via the fourth round of the NFL draft. Also, like Tuten, Hunter finds himself possibly buried for 2025 behind two veterans, but he also possesses the talent and pathway to surpass one or maybe both of them in the running back pecking order. Kyren Williams is a free agent after this season. The Rams thought so much of Blake Corum‘s rookie season that they addressed running back again this year. Hunter is incredibly talented. Hunter has ranked inside the top 24 in yards after contact per attempt in each of the last three seasons while also sitting in the top 22 in breakaway percentage in two of three years (per PFF). Hunter offers the Rams an explosive element that neither Williams nor Corum has. Last year, among 46 qualifying backs, Williams ranked 44th in explosive run rate, 37th in missed tackles forced per attempt, and 40th in yards after contact per attempt (per Fantasy Points Data). Hunter could be one of the best values of the fantasy football draft season.

4.12 – Jordan James (RB – SF)

The 5-10, 210-pound Jordan James went to the 49ers in the fifth round of the NFL Draft, and while he’s likely to open the season No. 3 on the depth chart behind Christian McCaffrey and Isa has the potential to be a solid NFL committee back. His speed is ordinary, but James is a decisive runner who sees a hole and then charges through it. A physical runner, despite his modest frame, James keeps his legs churning through contact. He has a nose for the end zone, as evidenced by his 26 TD runs over the last two seasons.

5.12 – Kyle Monangai (RB – CHI)

It seemed inevitable that the Bears would spend an early-round pick on a running back this year, but they waited until the seventh round before finally taking one: Kyle Monangai of Rutgers. If only the 5-9, 209-pound Kyle Monangai were a little bigger or a little faster. He’s an absolute warrior who runs like he’s 6-1, 225. Monangai ran for more than 1,200 yards in each of his final two seasons at Rutgers. He has terrific vision and instincts, and he’s a fighter who doesn’t go down easily. Despite his smaller frame, the lion-hearted Monangai will lower his shoulder and try to barrel over a tackler. He’s always falling forward at the end of runs. If Monangai were a prolific pass catcher, it would be easier to overlook his lack of size. Unfortunately, he had only 38 catches in 52 college games. There’s a chance he could carve out a role in Chicago, but it’s also possible the Bears will sign a veteran such as Nick Chubb or J.K. Dobbins, which would make it hard for Monangai to get on the field as a rookie.
