Dynasty Rookie Draft Rankings: Player Spotlight

Derek Brown shares a few notes with dynasty rookie and fantasy football outlook on two dynasty rookies.

KC Concepcion has outside/inside versatility. He played in the slot 82.1-92.7% prior to 2025 before transitioning to the perimeter (65.3%) in his final season. Concepcion has the skill set to play either role in the NFL. His speed is immediate and palpable on film (high 4.3/low 4.4 40 speed). Concepcion explodes off the line and can easily stack corners on nine routes. He has good bend in his routes and can change directions without losing speed. Concepcion is a threat at all three levels of a defense. His first step is devastatingly quick, which allows him to earn easy separation on crossers and drag routes. One area that he can improve in his route running is his hip sink and decelerating at the top of his stem. He can be more efficient and sudden at the top of his stem on whip routes and comebacks. He has a varied release package off the line and the upper body strength to handle press. I don’t have any concerns with his ability to separate in the NFL against man and press coverage. Concepcion adds all the little bells and whistles to his routes like jab steps, variations in pacing, head fakes, etc. He sets up corners well and has a strong sense of leverage and route pacing against zone coverage, with the feel of where to sit down in zone. His play strength serves him well during routes and at the catch point. He isn’t knocked off his routes and can play through contact. During his final collegiate season, Concepcion had a 66.7% contested catch rate. He plays bigger than his listed size as a ball winner at the catch point and as a receiver who can make difficult shoestring catches and play above the rim. Concepcion is a YAC threat that can also be utilized in the manufactured touch department and run game. He finished his collegiate career with 431 rushing yards (6.2 yards per carry) while also ranking inside the top 33 in YAC per reception twice in his three collegiate seasons. Drops will be part of the conversation of his eval with a 10.3% drop rate or higher in his final two seasons. I’m not worried about his hands, though. There are far too many occasions in his film where he comes down with an immensely difficult catch, or he secures a pass and immediately is hit and holds onto the ball, that I’m not worried about his hands. Dynasty Outlook: KC Concepcion heads to Cleveland with first-round draft capital in tow. Concepcion has the talent and draft capital attached to his name to be the team’s WR1 from the jump. At this point, we know who Jerry Jeudy is, and that’s an underwhelming volume-dependent ancillary wide receiver. Concepcion’s main competition for leading the team in targets in 2026 is Harold Fannin Jr. Concepcion remains my WR2 of this class and a top-five pick in rookie drafts regardless of format. I’m not worried about the Cleveland quarterback situation. Could that hurt his floor and ceiling in 2026? Sure, but quarterbacks’ situations change quickly in the NFL, and I won’t let that deter me from drafting a talented wide receiver. Bet on talent with your rookie draft picks, especially when hefty draft capital is attached to their names. You’ll be better for it in the long run.

Ted Hurst has a thin but muscular frame. His play strength is surprising for his frame. He doesn’t get pushed off routes and fits through contact well. Hurst has immediate and fluid speed with easy change of direction. He loses little speed when subtly changing directions mid-route. Hurst has a nice homerun gear in the open field. He’s a refined route runner with a varied release package. Hurst can invite indecision in cornerbacks’ heads as he sets them up and dances in their blind spot. He sells the vertical push well and has solid hip sink and deceleration skills for a player his size. Hurst can play above the rim with good adjustment to back shoulder throws and nice body control in the air. He displays a large catch radius. Hurst displays late hands. His drop rate decreased in every year of college, with a 9% rate in his final season. He’s a ball winner at the catch point with a 61.1% contested catch rate for his collegiate career. 50/50 balls become 60/40 balls for Hurst. Dynasty Outlook: The Bucs drafted Ted Hurst in the third round of the NFL Draft. Hurst is immediately the WR4 on this depth chart ahead of Tez Johnson, in my opinion. I would not be surprised if Hurst cracks the Week 1 starting lineup with only Jalen McMillan to beat out for that job. The runway for Hurst is clearer than it might appear at first glance. The Bucs could easily let Chris Godwin walk after the 2026 season, as they have an out with a 16.3 million dead cap hit, which would also be Godwin’s age-31 season. Hurst is the upside swing to take in rookie drafts at the top of the second round. Don’t be shocked if Hurst and Emeka Egbuka are leading the Bucs passing attack entering 2027 after he puts up a solid rookie campaign.
