Dynasty Rookie Draft Picks
1.03 – Omarion Hampton (RB – LAC)
Omarion Hampton piled up 3,164 rushing yards and 30 TD runs over his last two seasons at North Carolina and had 67 receptions over that span. The 220-pound Hampton is a powerful downhill runner who’s a nightmare to bring down when he has a full head of steam. He’s terrific between the tackles, squeezing through tight spaces and powering through contact. The Chargers grabbed Hampton at No. 22 in the draft. With Najee Harris not yet recovered from the eye injury he sustained in a Fourth of July fireworks mishap, it’s possible Hampton could handle an enormous workload for the Chargers right away.

2.03 – Jayden Higgins (WR – HOU)
Higgins got the capital I was hoping for as the fifth wide receiver selected in the NFL Draft at the top of the second round. Higgins should immediately file in as the starting outside receiver opposite Nico Collins in two wide receiver sets. Higgins was an underrated player throughout the entire draft process, ranking 27th and 16th in yards per route run and first and 18th in receiving grade during his final two collegiate seasons (per PFF). He’s a sure-handed receiver who will become a trusted safety blanket for C.J. Stroud after posting a 2.2% drop rate or lower in each of the last three seasons and a 55.6% contested catch rate in college. The addition of Higgins and fellow former Iowa State wide receiver Jaylin Noel should push Christian Kirk while also hopefully fueling a big bounce-back season for Stroud. Higgins is a WR3/4 that could easily evolve into a weekly WR2 as the 2025 season rolls along.

3.03 – Jaydon Blue (RB – DAL)
Blue fell to the fifth round of the NFL Draft as he was swimming in a ridiculously deep running back draft class. The former Longhorn displayed some three-down big play ability in his final collegiate season. He ranked 26th in elusive rating, 35th in yards after contact per attempt, and 25th in yards per route run (per PFF). It’s not hard to envision Blue having a role in the backfield immediately in Week 1, considering the lackluster players surrounding him on the Dallas Cowboys’ depth chart. Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders‘ best football looks to be behind them. Blue could be the passing down back from Day 1 with an avenue to become the team’s lead back quickly.

4.03 – Jalen Milroe (QB – SEA)
Jalen Milroe is something of a QB project, but he’s an electric runner with a powerful arm. Milroe landed in Seattle, where he’ll begin as a backup to Sam Darnold. But if Darnold doesn’t pan out, Milroe will get a chance to use those fleet feet. There’s a wide range of possible outcomes here for fantasy gamers. Milroe’s rushing ability gives him a great deal of potential value, but if he can’t improve his passing, he won’t be able to hold down a starting job.

5.03 – Kyle Monangai (RB – CHI)
Well, the Bears didn’t address running back early in the draft, but they didn’t overlook the position. Chicago selected Monangai in the seventh round of the NFL Draft. Monangai is a squatty pinball back that can handle volume and fight for every blade of grass. He isn’t an explosive runner, but he can roll up plenty of chunk gains and handle a ton of volume. Last year, he had 25 or more carries in 55% of his games and at least 18 carries in every game. He’ll have to beat out Roschon Johnson for RB2 duties behind D’Andre Swift, but that’s not impossible. Johnson hasn’t exactly set the league on fire so far, and he has had trouble staying on the field (concussions).
