Fantasy Football Dynasty Rookie Draft Advice: Nate Boerkircher

The Jaguars surprisingly took Boerkircher in the second round. He’ll turn 25 before his rookie season starts, and if you look at his stat sheets from college, you’ll be more perplexed as he caught just 38 passes across five seasons, including 19 last year for Texas A&M for 198 yards and three touchdowns. Where he excels is as a blocking tight end, which immediately fills a need. I do think there’s pass-catching upside there, too, but that remains to be seen. He’s worthy of a pick in a four-round rookie draft due to the draft slot, and if there’s a chance the Jaguars don’t bring back Brenton Strange, who’s coming off a solid 2025 season.
