Dynasty Rookie Draft Picks
1.08 – Kaleb Johnson (RB – PIT)
Kaleb Johnson‘s stock has fallen since the start of the preseason, with him appearing behind both Kenneth Gainwell and Jaylen Warren on the Steelers depth chart. This has caused his ADP to also drop to RB27 in real-time ADP (Round 7). I’m looking to buy the dip based on his high-end upside as a perfect fit in the Arthur Smith offense. You aren’t drafting Johnson to be your starter from Day 1. His role will grow as the season progresses.

2.08 – Cam Ward (QB – TEN)
The No. 1 overall pick in this year’s NFL Draft, Cam Ward is expected to open the season as the Titans’ starting quarterback. Ward threw for 4,313 yards and 39 touchdowns at the University of Miami-Florida last season, finishing fourth in the Heisman Trophy voting. Ward is an aggressive passer who’ll challenge defenses downfield, and he has a strong, accurate arm. He’ll also add some value as a runner. But Ward’s high-risk style could lead to a lot of turnovers. Ward will undoubtedly hit some rookie-year bumps as he adjusts to the NFL, but he has the potential to be a fantasy QB2 right away.

3.08 – Elijah Arroyo (TE – SEA)
The runway for Elijah Arroyo has been cleared with the release of Noah Fant. Arroyo now has to contend with A.J. Barner and Eric Saubert for an every-down role for Seattle in 2025. His second-round NFL Draft capital speaks volumes about the team’s thoughts about him and his upside. Arroyo had a wonderful final season with Miami, where he was a mismatch nightmare for opposing collegiate defenses and a trusted weapon for Cam Ward. Arroyo ranked 23rd in yards per route run and second in yards after the catch per reception (per PFF). Arroyo could flirt with TE1 production in 2025 with only Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp above him in the target pecking order.

4.08 – DJ Giddens (RB – IND)
Giddens was the 15th running back selected in the draft as he landed with the Colts. He’ll compete with Khalil Herbert to earn backup duties behind the Colts’ incumbent starter, Jonathan Taylor. Giddens’ talent is very real after he ranked 16th in yards after contact per attempt, sixth in breakaway percentage, and 22nd in elusive rating last year (per PFF). He’s in the final-round pick bucket that could pay off handsomely if he earns the RB2 spot and Taylor misses any time.

5.08 – Isaac TeSlaa (WR – DET)
The Lions traded up to select Arkansas wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa in Round 3 of the NFL Draft – a clear sign they were determined to get their guy. A 6-foot-4, 214-pound athletic marvel, TeSlaa tested in the 88th percentile or better in the vertical jump, broad jump, and 20-yard shuttle, while also flashing 4.43 speed. Despite modest counting stats in the SEC, he was extremely efficient. TeSlaa posted the fourth-highest passer rating when targeted (145.5) in the FBS last year and earned a perfect rating on targets of 20+ air yards – a testament to his big-play ability. While immediate target volume may be tough to come by in Detroit’s loaded offense, he’s one injury away from stepping into a sizable role.
