Dynasty Rookie Mock Draft: Superflex (2026 Fantasy Football)

A couple of weeks ago, I mocked a single-quarterback rookie draft. Now I’m back with an updated one — and this time, it’s Superflex. With everyone officially declared, we have a better idea of how the first round of rookie drafts could shake out. Appreciate you stopping by to check this one out. Hope you enjoy. Below is our latest dynasty rookie mock draft.

Dynasty Rookie Mock Draft: 10-Team, Superflex

1.01: Jeremiyah Love (RB – Notre Dame)

This might be a lackluster running back class in terms of quality, but it does feature one player with potential to be a top-shelf workhorse in the NFL. That player is Notre Dame’s Jeremiyah Love, the 2025 Doak Walker Award winner and Heisman Trophy finalist.

Love is a former high school track champion with a tantalizing blend of speed and size. He put that home run ability on full display with long touchdown runs of 94 and 98 yards, while averaging an eye-popping 6.9 yards per carry in each of the past two seasons.

Only 20 years old, Love looks more than ready for the pros. Teams looking for a game-changer at the tailback position will be eyeing him in the middle part of the NFL Draft. He could come off the board as early as pick No. 9 to the Chiefs or slide down to the Vikings at pick No. 18. Wherever he lands, that franchise is getting an electric ball-carrier capable of sparking the offense.

1.02: Fernando Mendoza (QB – Indiana)

Much like the situation with Jeremiyah Love atop the running back class, it’s Fernando Mendoza as the QB1… followed by a sizable gap over the rest of the field. After two mediocre years at Cal, Mendoza transferred to Indiana ahead of the 2025 season and went nuclear. En route to a perfect season with the Hoosiers, Mendoza won the Heisman Trophy and finished the year with over 3,500 passing yards, 48 total touchdowns and just six interceptions.

Mendoza might not possess the mobility to be a fantasy superstar at the next level, but he’s got all the tools you look for: Size, intelligence and accuracy. Mendoza was so precise with the ball that he recorded five games with more touchdown passes than incompletions — no other player has more than two such games in college football history.

Menodoza is a lock to go No. 1 overall to the Raiders, where he’ll step into an offense with young weapons in Brock Bowers and Ashton Jeanty as he looks to turn the franchise around.

1.03: Makai Lemon (WR – USC)

Another award winner who should go early in rookie drafts, Makai Lemon, is far from what his last name implies. He’s a demon in the slot and looks like a future stud, with sticky hands and strong yards after the catch (YAC) ability. In fact, he is the only receiver coming out this year to post over 3.00 yards per route run (YPRR) against both man and zone coverage in his collegiate career.

As a junior at USC this past season, Lemon caught 79 passes for 1,156 yards and 11 touchdowns, production that won him the Fred Biletnikoff Award as the nation’s best wideout. He’ll be one of the top three wideouts selected in the 2026 NFL Draft and shouldn’t have to wait long to hear his name called in the first round.

1.04: Carnell Tate (WR – Ohio State)

Only 20 years old, the sky is the limit for Carnell Tate. After averaging 17.1 yards per reception in 2025, he’s probably the best big-play and deep threat wide receiver in this draft. Don’t believe me? Go check the highlights from his game against Wisconsin. Tate had a glorious grab where he climbed the ladder above two defenders and snagged the ball in the back of the end zone for a 33-yard score. He finished that game with six catches for 111 yards and two touchdowns.

At 6-foot-3, Tate offers great size and can line up all over the formation. Offensive coordinators could deploy him outside, where his speed stretches defenses vertically. Or they could slide him inside as a big slot and let him use his ball skills to gobble up receptions. Dynasty managers should be ecstatic about landing a player with his pedigree in this range.

1.05: Jordyn Tyson (WR – USC)

A former three-star recruit, Jordyn Tyson blossomed into a top-notch pass-catcher and might be the most complete wideout in this draft. He enjoyed a big breakout as a junior after coming back from a torn ACL, MCL and PCL suffered in 2022, and racked up over 1,100 yards and 10 touchdowns. He was limited this past season due to hamstring issues, but he remained productive and finished with 711 yards and eight scores in only nine games.

If teams aren’t worried about his medical history, Tyson could go in the top 10 in the draft. At 6-foot-2 and 200 pounds, he has the size to play every receiver role and is explosive with the ball in his hands. He’s the kind of plug-and-play weapon who should deliver results out of the gate. He’ll be an instant WR3 for fantasy managers no matter where he lands.

1.06: Denzel Boston (WR – Washington)

A sizable target at 6-foot-4, Denzel Boston is a classic red-zone weapon who profiles as a traditional X in the NFL. It took a couple of seasons for him to earn meaningful playing time, but he made the most of it once he did. Over the last two seasons, Boston averaged 63 catches, 858 yards and 10 touchdowns.

Boston figures to go in round one as teams seek a boundary play-maker in the Nico Collins mold. If he earns decent playing time in his rookie season, Boston could be a usable WR3 for fantasy purposes.

1.07: Kenyon Sadiq (TE – Oregon)

The junior Duck did the right thing by declaring for the 2026 NFL Draft instead of returning to school for another season. At just 20 years old, Kenyon Sadiq is the consensus TE1 in this class and for good reason. He’s strong. He’s fast. He’s versatile. At 6-foot-3, 245 pounds, Sadiq can line up in a variety of positions and is a complete mismatch for defenders.

After racking up 51 catches for 560 yards and eight touchdowns last season, Sadiq could come off the board in the top 15 to teams like the Chiefs, Dolphins or Buccaneers. Age and athleticism are on his side, and Sadiq has TE1 potential from the jump. Dynasty managers desperate for help at the position should pursue him in this portion of the draft.

1.08: KC Concepcion (WR – Texas A&M)

A dynamo with the ball in his hands, KC Concepcion has a lot of dynasty managers excited — and hoping they can land him in the back half of rookie drafts. After two seasons at NC State, Concepcion transferred to Texas A&M and balled out in his lone season with the Aggies. He hauled in 61 passes for 919 yards and nine touchdowns, while also generating 75 yards and one score on 10 carries.

If Concepcion lands on a team with a creative play-caller, he could be an instant producer in fantasy lineups. He’s an explosive Swiss Army knife, a mix of Zay Flowers and Jayden Reed. Concepcion is capable of putting up points in bunches if he gets first-round draft capital to a team willing to feed him touches.

1.09: Ty Simpson (QB – Alabama)

A one-year starter with only 15 games under his belt, Ty Simpson is a clear beneficiary of a weaker quarterback class. Early in 2025, Simpson looked the part of a pro-ready signal-caller, throwing for 21 touchdowns with only one interception. However, he cooled off down the stretch and struggled. Over his final six games, he managed just seven touchdowns against four interceptions and completed just 60% of his passes.

The 23-year-old signal-caller displays sharp mechanics and a quick release, but he doesn’t boast the strongest arm talent. Simpson also lacks mobility. At only 205 pounds, he could stand to add some size to withstand punishment on Sundays. The lack of rushing upside caps his ceiling from a fantasy perspective, but if he gets Day 1 draft capital, he’s worth taking a shot at in this area of Superflex drafts due to positional scarcity.

1.10: Jonah Coleman (RB – Washington)

The senior from Washington is a three-down back encased in a compact but sturdy frame. At 5-foot-9, 220 pounds, Jonah Coleman does it all. He runs with power, catches out of the backfield and protects the football. On 639 collegiate touches, Washington fumbled the ball just once. That’s how you earn a coach’s trust and stay on the field.

With 87 career catches and a 5.5 yards per carry average on the ground, Coleman profiles as a dual-threat runner in the NFL. What he lacks in blazing top-end speed, he makes up for with excellent vision and contact balance. A good combine could boost his stock into early round two. If he earns significant snaps early on, Coleman could be an RB3/Flex option for fantasy managers as a rookie.
