Dynasty Rookie Draft Picks to Target (Fantasy Football)

It’s almost dynasty rookie draft season! 2026 NFL Draft landing spots will definitely influence the fantasy football value of picks, but here are a few players we are targeting early before landing spots are determined. Check out our picks below, and you can run your own dynasty rookie mock drafts with our dynasty rookie mock draft simulator!

Dynasty Rookie Draft Picks to Target

Denzel Boston (WR – Washington)

Boston kicks off the back half of our first-round mock draft. Unfortunately, many believe this is where the rookie class takes a massive dip. However, the former Washington star could see his fantasy value improve with a top-20 draft selection, something that has a meaningful chance of happening. He is an excellent downfield playmaker, totaling over 830 receiving yards and at least nine touchdowns in back-to-back seasons. Boston could see his dynasty stock skyrocket if he lands in a fantasy-friendly landing spot.

Omar Cooper Jr. (WR – Indiana)

While Fernando Mendoza was the clear leader of Indiana’s offense last year—much like Batman—Cooper played a vital, complementary role, akin to Robin. He made a ridiculous catch at the end of the Penn State game, ensuring Indiana’s perfect season. Cooper also led the team in receptions (69) and receiving yards (937) while ranking second in receiving touchdowns (13). Yet, he finished third in college football in receiving touchdowns despite his teammate, Elijah Sarratt, leading the country with 15. Don’t be surprised if Cooper is a top 20 NFL Draft pick.

Jadarian Price (RB – Notre Dame)

Notre Dame has the two best running backs in the draft this year. While Jeremiyah Love is the top running back in the draft class, many scouts believe Price is the clear-cut No. 2 guy behind his former teammate. Hopefully, fantasy players don’t make the same mistake as last year, drafting a Day 2 running back (Kaleb Johnson) over a first-round wide receiver (Emeka Egbuka). However, Price could get drafted with a first-round pick, pushing him ahead of the last two wide receivers in this mock draft.

KC Concepcion (WR – Texas A&M)

After two solid years at North Carolina State, Concepcion transferred to Texas A&M and had a career season. He finished with 61 receptions for 919 receiving yards and nine touchdowns, leading the Aggies in every category while ranking first in the SEC in receiving scores. Concepcion can be a dangerous weapon after the catch, making him potentially a star for fantasy players depending on where he lands in the NFL Draft. Two ideal landing spots for him would be with the San Francisco 49ers or the Kansas City Chiefs.
