Fantasy Football Dynasty Rookie Draft Advice: Bryce Lance

Lance heads to the Saints at No. 136 overall. He’s a big target at north of 6’3″ and ran a 4.34 40-yard dash. He’ll be used primarily as a “take the top off the defense” home run threat. There’s value for this type of player in any offense, but his fantasy upside will be capped. He’s a late-third/fourth-round pick in dynasty leagues. He’ll offer more upside than other depth receivers like Bub Means or Mason Tipton.

DBro’s NFL Draft Scouting Report & Player Comp: Bryce Lance

Scouting report:

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.
