Dynasty Rookie Draft Advice: Picks to Target (Fantasy Football)
Derek Brown breaks down a few of his favorite dynasty rookie draft picks.
Lane is an athletic, tall drink of water. He can get downfield with deep buildup speed and strong ball tracking skills. Lane flashes body control in the air and the ability to adjust on the fly to back shoulder targets. Lane has a strong understanding of route running with plenty of bells and whistles to get open. He will add jab steps and small intricacies without losing much speed in the route. Lane displays a firm understanding of leverage and when to time his route breaks with the corner’s hips. Lane can’t stop on a dime, but he has adequate deceleration skills for his size when running comebacks and stop routes. He’ll need to continue to improve his ability to sink his hips if he wants to be tasked with a full route tree in the NFL and not just pigeon-holed as a deep threat. Lane isn’t offering much after the catch unless he slips a tackle or sees a busted coverage. He did manage 18 missed tackles over the last two collegiate seasons. His upper body strength allows him to win 50/50 balls. His hands need to improve to turn those into 60/40 balls (8.6% drop rate over the last two seasons).
Bryce Lance (WR – North Dakota State)
Lance is a fluid athlete with smooth hips and lightning-fast speed. He can quickly get up to top gear while also having the skill to stop on a dime and sink his hips on comebacks and curls. He’s deadly on out and ups and double moves. Overall, Lance is a strong route runner who plays through contact. He can gain early separation with a solid release package and the in-route bells and whistles. Lance can telegraph his route breaks at times with exaggerated movements at the top of his stem. He’ll need to continue to clean that up, but it’s not a consistent issue. Lance is an electric field stretcher with solid ball tracking and the body control to adjust to back shoulder targets and sideline catches. Lance is a catch point winner with a 61.5% contested target catch rate. He flashes a soft set of hands with only a 3.8% drop rate, which is even more impressive when you consider the degree of difficulty of his targets. Lance has a 14.1 aDOT in college with 15.5 aDOT in his final season. In 2025, 30.4% of his target volume was 20 yards or more downfield.
Dual threat passer. Green averaged 113 rushing attempts and 600.8 rushing yards over the last four years of college (8.8 rushing touchdowns per season). Green has build-up speed and the size to be a goalline threat in the NFL. He’s a straight-line runner without a ton of wiggle. He’s best viewed as an opportunistic scrambler at the next level with some upside in the designed run game. Green has the arm strength to make every NFL throw necessary. He has easy flick of the wrist velocity. His windup can get long at times, leaving the ball coming out a touch late, though. His accuracy on intermediate throws is decent, with thoughtful ball placement at times, where he’s helping his receivers avoid hospital collisions. Green’s overall accuracy is spotty, though. His deep ball can lack touch, especially on boundary go balls or corner of the end zone shots. His footwork can lapse at times, which doesn’t help his accuracy issues. His second level passes lack touch at times as he resorts to line drive fastballs when he needs to layer the ball. His pocket presence needs refinement. Green is late to feel the rush many times and doesn’t have the quick-twitch abilities to bail him out of danger situations. He wasn’t tasked with full field reads at Arkansas, but he’ll hang on his first read or miss receivers running wide open at times. Green feels a tick late at times getting the ball out. His trigger has to speed up to the pace of the NFL game.
