Dynasty Rookie Draft Landing Spot Predictions (Fantay Football)

In dynasty rookie drafts, a lot of the value prospects derive comes from their NFL Draft landing spots. Of course, we won’t know which teams the top 2026 NFL Draft prospects will play for until after the draft. For now, we can do our best to project value based on where we think they may wind up, along with the role they could fill in 2026. Here are a few landing spot predictions for the top dynasty rookies from our latest 2026 NFL Mock Draft.

Dynasty Rookie Draft Landing Spot Predictions

1. Las Vegas Raiders: Fernando Mendoza (QB – Indiana)

The Raiders are picking No. 1 for a reason, and the clear-cut QB1 in this class is Fernando Mendoza. He doesn’t have elite tools such as a massive arm or eye-popping speed, but he’ll win above the shoulders. It’ll be intriguing to see who his head coach will be in Las Vegas.

5. New York Giants: Jordyn Tyson (WR – Arizona State)

This spot, like the Cardinals, is another potential trade-down spot where I’d target Spencer Fano or Francis Mauigoa, but I’m taking the best receiver in the draft in Jordyn Tyson.

Tyson does have the two injuries in 2022 and 2024 that ended his seasons, but if those medicals come back clean, Tyson will be a perfect No. 2 WR alongside Malik Nabers in an offense with Jaxson Dart, Cam Skattebo, under new head coach John Harbaugh.

6. Cleveland Browns: Carnell Tate (WR – Ohio State)

Carnell Tate has often been overshadowed by other excellent Ohio State wide receivers like Emeka Egbuka, Marvin Harrison Jr. and Jeremiah Smith, but he’ll bring an immediate “high-floor” presence to the Browns’ offense in a season that appears to be headed toward Shedeur Sanders as the full-time starting quarterback.

The team might as well give Sanders another weapon.

8. New Orleans Saints: Makai Lemon (WR – USC)

Makai Lemon is reminiscent of former USC wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown. Alongside Chris Olave, this would be an excellent duo for a Saints team that appears to have found some potential in quarterback Tyler Shough.

Another option here is running back Jeremiyah Love.

9. Kansas City Chiefs: Jeremiyah Love (RB – Notre Dame)

The Chiefs’ running game was borderline unwatchable in 2025. With quarterback Patrick Mahomes coming off a torn ACL, handing the ball or dumping it off to one of the best running back prospects in recent memory is a great move.

20. Dallas Cowboys: KC Concepcion (WR – Texas A&M)

If the Cowboys are unable to retain George Pickens, KC Concepcion would be a fantastic backup plan to complement CeeDee Lamb. He had some drop issues in college, but if he works out those kinks, he’ll be incredible against man coverage and electric with the ball in his hands.

26. Buffalo Bills: Denzel Boston (WR – Washington)

The Bills need, need, need a true alpha No. 1 WR-like presence, and Denzel Boston is that and then some at 6-foot-4. He’s in the mold of a Drake London or Michael Pittman Jr., and Josh Allen desperately needs someone like him.

31. Denver Broncos: Kenyon Sadiq (TE – Oregon)

Kenyon Sadiq will likely go far earlier than this. However, Sadiq in a Sean Payton-led offense could be something beautiful to watch — especially alongside former Oregon teammate Bo Nix.

32. Seattle Seahawks: Chris Bell (WR – Louisville)

Chris Bell’s torn ACL in November will likely hold him back from being a first-round pick. Understandably so. However, his rare combination of height, weight and speed opposite Jaxon Smith-Njigba would be fantastic to watch.
