Dynasty Rookie Draft Advice: Players to Target
Rookies DBro Targets
DBro is the high man on KC Concepcion, ranking him as the No. 2 wide receiver behind Carnell Tate. Here’s his dynasty outlook for KC:
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.
DBro also aggressively targets Ted Hurst III and Chris Brazzell at the top of the second round of dynasty rookies drafts.
Late-Round Rookies DBro Targets
- Kevin Coleman Jr. (WR – MIA)
- Eli Raridon (TE – NE)
- Bryce Lance (WR – NO)
- Oscar Delp (TE – NO)
- Max Klare (TE – LAR)
- Matt Hibner (TE – BAL)
Rookies Erickson Targets
Erickson is actually the highest on Eli Stowers, though the trio of experts love to draft him aggressively. Erickson also views Chris Bell as an ideal pick at the top of the second round of dynasty rookie drafts.
Speaking of ideal second-round targets, Erickson loves the outlook for Antonio Williams in 2026:
Antonio Williams is a sneaky Day 2 value who projects into an immediate slot role in Washington’s offense. The former Clemson standout broke out at 19 and has consistently flashed strong efficiency (2.27 YPRR in 2025) despite battling injuries and an underwhelming team environment. With Deebo Samuel gone and the Commanders ranking top-3 in vacated targets, there’s a clear path to volume behind Terry McLaurin. Williams’ slot-heavy usage, versatility on special teams, and strong production profile make him a strong late-round sleeper in PPR formats.
Late-Round Rookies Erickson Targets
- Eli Raridon (TE – NE)
- Oscar Delp (TE – NO)
- Max Klare (TE – LAR)
- Cyrus Allen (WR – KC)
- Marlin Klein (TE – HOU)
Rookies Fitz Targets
In the first round of dynasty rookie drafts, Fitz is high on Eli Stowers, ranking him ahead of fellow rookie tight end Kenyon Sadiq. Fitz is also a fan of Omar Cooper Jr. and Germie Bernard, who he views as a strong pick at the top of the second round of dynasty rookie drafts.
