Best Dynasty Fantasy Football Value Picks for Every NFL Team
Each player listed below has their current FantasyPros startup expert consensus ranking (ECR) and, if applicable, their FantasyPros rookie average draft position (ADP).
Jeremyiah Love (RB – ARI)
- Rookie ADP: #1 Overall
- Startup ECR: RB5 (Overall #13)
Jeremiyah Love has the 4.36 wheels and pass-catching traits to be a real dynasty problem. Arizona drafted him third overall, indicating he’s going to get volume.
With defenses forced to respect the passing game, Love has a clear path to crush three-down duties, phase out James Conner and bury Trey Benson. He will anchor your dynasty roster for years.
Kyle Pitts (TE – ATL)
- Startup ECR: TE8 (Overall #65)
Kyle Pitts is still just 24 years old and already has an 88-catch, 928-yard season on his resume despite dealing with terrible quarterback play and inconsistent usage early in his career.
The athletic upside that made Pitts a generational prospect remains fully intact. However, his dynasty market has been slow to forget early career letdowns, keeping his price point depressed. With Atlanta finally stabilizing the offense, Pitts still has the profile to become a long-term difference-maker at a thin position.
Adam Randall (RB – BAL)
- Rookie ADP: #33 Overall
- Startup ECR: RB71 (Overall #227)
Adam Randall is the kind of dynasty stash worth taking late because the athletic upside is obvious. At 6-foot-3, 232 pounds, the former Clemson wide receiver fully transitioned to running back and flashed elite dual-threat upside, racking up 814 rushing yards while maintaining natural receiving skills out of the backfield.
With Derrick Henry approaching the twilight of his career, Randall has a real chance to carve out passing-down work early and grow into a bigger long-term role in Baltimore’s offense.
Dalton Kincaid (TE – BUF)
- Startup ECR: TE13 (Overall #102)
Dalton Kincaid already has the usage profile that dynasty managers chase at tight end, and his role should only continue to grow in Buffalo’s offense.
Kincaid has a real chance to become Josh Allen’s top volume target, giving him one of the safest TE1 floors in dynasty with legitimate top-three upside at the position. In TE-Premium formats, he’s the kind of young foundational asset you build around.
Jonathon Brooks (RB – CAR)
- Startup ECR: RB45 (Overall #167)
Jonathon Brooks is walking into a Dave Canales offense that has historically churned out elite, league-winning workhorses. His three-down skill set, elite vision and Carolina’s revamped offensive line give him top-12 dynasty upside that is currently discounted due to injury recovery.
Buy the dip now before Brooks’ price tag explodes into unbuyable territory once he’s fully healthy.
Rome Odunze (WR – CHI)
- Startup ECR: WR25 (Overall #43)
While a lot of dynasty managers are chasing the hype around Luther Burden III, Rome Odunze is still the Chicago wide receiver to target long term. He dealt with injuries for much of the season, which has kept his dynasty value a little quieter than it should be, but his ceiling has not changed.
Odunze still has the size, route polish and alpha receiver traits. He’s poised to be Caleb Williams’ go-to target, making him one of the best long-term investments in Chicago’s offense.
Chase Brown (RB – CIN)
- Startup ECR: RB10 (Overall #37)
Chase Brown boasts explosive track speed in a high-powered Cincinnati offense that thrives on pass-catching backs. He has a firm grip on high-value touches, giving him elite weekly RB2 upside.
As the anchor of the Bengals’ backfield, Brown is a high-value dynasty running back with proven efficiency and reliable hands. He offers full bell-cow usage in a high-octane attack and has strong long-term RB1 potential.
Quinshon Judkins (RB – CLE)
- Startup ECR: RB16 (Overall #60)
Quinshon Judkins is a premier discount target right now. While injury recovery has temporarily depressed his market value, he maintains an absolute stranglehold on Cleveland’s lead-back duties. He is primed for a massive sophomore bounce-back season after a rookie campaign ruined by team game scripts. The Browns fully view him as their premier early-down workhorse.
Judkins’ massive long-term workload potential behind an improved offensive line makes him Cleveland’s absolute best dynasty value right now. Target him before his value skyrockets.
Javonte Williams (RB – DAL)
- Startup ECR: RB20 (Overall #70)
Javonte Williams looks like one of the better dynasty values right now because Dallas gave him a clear workhorse role in one of the league’s best scoring offenses. He finally looked fully healthy again last season. Dallas passing on the rookie running back class tells you they trust him to handle major volume.
At 26 years old with goal-line work and RB1 upside, Williams’ price still feels lower than where it’s headed.
Jonah Coleman (RB – DEN)
- Rookie ADP: #10 Overall
- Startup ECR: RB36 (Overall #134)
Jonah Coleman’s receiving skills and compact power make him an ideal fit for Sean Payton’s offense, with the potential to take over Denver’s backfield sooner than expected. A physical, low-center-of-gravity runner, he excels in creative zone-blocking schemes and comes at a bargain price while projecting for immediate short-yardage and goal-line duties.
Jameson Williams (WR – DET)
- Startup ECR: WR28 (Overall #55)
Jameson Williams has rare, field-stretching speed that opens up the entire underneath layer of Detroit’s offense. His explosive big-play ability gives him league-winning potential every time he touches the ball.
Few receivers can match his game-breaking speed. As his route tree develops, he brings legitimate week-winning upside with every touch. Williams’ dynasty value still sits below his true ceiling as his role continues to grow.
Matthew Golden (WR – GB)
- Startup ECR: WR52 (Overall #110)
Matthew Golden is the kind of young receiver dynasty managers should buy before the breakout fully happens. His speed, separation ability and run-after-catch skill set are a perfect fit with Jordan Love, and there’s a real path for him to grow into a major role in Green Bay’s offense over the next couple of seasons.
Right now, you’re still paying WR4 prices for a player who has legitimate long-term WR2 upside if the targets continue to climb.
Jayden Higgins (WR – HOU)
- Startup ECR: WR46 (Overall #98)
Jayden Higgins brings a unique blend of size and contested-catch ability to a Houston Texans offense stacked with precise route runners, cementing him as the best long-term boundary threat on the roster.
Standing at 6-foot-4, Higgins established himself as a vertical mismatch while locking down the No. 2 WR role late last season. Operating as a primary red-zone weapon in a high-volume passing game, Higgins possesses the exact touchdown upside needed to smash his current dynasty market value quickly.
Josh Downs (WR – IND)
- Startup ECR: WR49 (Overall #104)
Josh Downs is the kind of dynasty wideout that contenders always end up chasing once the production becomes impossible to ignore. His ability to create instant separation underneath gives him one of the safest PPR floors in fantasy.
Receivers who can consistently command volume from the slot tend to hold value for years. Downs is still priced like a depth piece when in reality he profiles as a long-term weekly starter who could quietly stack 90+ catch seasons.
Parker Washington (WR – JAX)
- Startup ECR: WR50 (Overall #107)
Parker Washington quietly took over the slot role late last year, posting an elite 25% target share from Week 9 on. Liam Coen’s offense loves feeding slot wideouts, yet the market still has Washington buried at WR50. Stop overthinking the depth chart — buy the high-end talent while he’s still dirt cheap.
Rashee Rice (WR – KC)
- Startup ECR: WR15 (Overall #26)
Rashee Rice already proved he can handle a true No. 1 WR workload in Kansas City’s offense, averaging heavy target volume while turning short throws into chunk plays with elite yards after the catch (YAC) ability. The legal situation is behind him now, which clears the runway for him to fully focus on football again.
Dynasty managers are still undervaluing him, as if his upside has completely vanished. Attached to Patrick Mahomes in one of the league’s highest-efficiency offenses, Rice still has the profile of a long-term top-12 fantasy wide receiver that dynasty managers will wish they bought low on.
Ashton Jeanty (RB – LV)
- Startup ECR: RB3 (Overall #10)
Ashton Jeanty grinded out 975 rushing yards behind a porous offensive front as a rookie. His sophomore season brings massive structural improvements with new head coach Klint Kubiak, rookie signal-caller Fernando Mendoza and a heavily reinforced line.
Jeanty has legitimate top-five overall upside because of an elite contact-balance profile and rare three-down receiving juice that warrants 20+ touches a game.
Keaton Mitchell (RB – LAC)
- Startup ECR: RB62 (Overall #224)
Keaton Mitchell remains an absolute game-breaker with an elite second gear — he’s averaged over five yards per carry for his career and can flip a matchup on one touch. In a run-heavy Chargers offense, he doesn’t need 20 carries to matter; 8-10 touches are enough because his burst and long speed create chunk plays at one of the highest rates in the league.
That’s why Mitchell is such a strong dynasty stash right now — the role looks small until suddenly he’s ripping off RB2 weeks on limited volume.
Blake Corum (RB – LAR)
- Startup ECR: RB34 (Overall #130)
Blake Corum quietly carved out a 40% share of the Rams’ rushing attempts last season, translating his opportunity into 746 yards while flashing an elite 5.14 yards per carry. He holds a premium contingent role in Sean McVay’s highly productive ground game, offering immediate top-tier RB1 utility if injuries shake up the depth chart.
Dynasty managers need to stop treating him like a simple backup; Corum’s efficiency metrics prove he is an ascending, standalone FLEX asset with long-term touchdown upside.
Caleb Douglas (WR – MIA)
- Rookie ADP: #40 Overall
- Startup ECR: WR117 (Overall #304)
Caleb Douglas walked into a goldmine of immediate opportunity after Miami cleaned house at receiver, giving the rookie a direct path to a starting role. At 6-foot-4 with blazing 4.39 speed, his elite 9.50 relative athletic score (RAS score) profile allows him to stretch the field in an offense where 30% of his college targets came on deep shots.
Douglas has a few drop issues to fix, but stop overthinking a third-round pick with an absolute monopoly on perimeter snaps. Sharp managers are holding these kinds of under-the-radar speed pieces now before the rest of the league wakes up to the upside. Cheap cost and high ceiling is exactly how you win dynasty leagues
Demond Claiborne (RB – MIN)
- Rookie ADP: #26 Overall
- Startup ECR: RB63 (Overall #215)
Demond Claiborne brings a blistering 4.37 speed element to Minnesota after compiling 1,956 rushing yards and 23 total touchdowns over his final two college seasons. While an aging Aaron Jones and a bruising Jordan Mason block immediate workhorse touches, Jones is heavily expected to vacate the backfield after 2026.
Dynasty managers love chasing upside receivers, but these cheap running back stashes with a real path to touches are usually the players that spike in value overnight.
Eli Raridon (TE – NE)
- Rookie ADP: #39 Overall
- Startup ECR: TE38 (Overall #244)
Eli Raridon is a massive 6-foot-7 mismatch who paired an elite 9.52 RAS score with a 4.62 40-yard dash at the combine. He flashed major big-play ability by averaging 15.1 yards per catch in his final college season, and New England wasted no time making him a third-round pick.
While Hunter Henry blocks immediate 2026 targets, he is a free agent next year, giving Raridon a clear shot at becoming Drake Maye’s go-to seam threat.
Tyler Shough (QB – NO)
- Startup ECR: QB22 (Overall #126)
Tyler Shough quietly finished his rookie year playing excellent football, averaging QB5 fantasy numbers over the final month while completing 67.6% of his passes in Kellen Moore’s offense. The Saints clearly believe in Shough.
They added more speed around him with Travis Etienne and Jordyn Tyson next to Chris Olave. Add in the rushing production, and he is the kind of cheap Superflex quarterback that usually doubles in value.
Isaiah Likely (TE – NYG)
- Startup ECR: TE14 (Overall #103)
Isaiah Likely has finally stepped out of Mark Andrews’ shadow, and that’s big because whenever he’s gotten starter-level snaps, he’s delivered elite efficiency with just a 3.2% career drop rate and stretches of TE5-level production.
Reuniting with John Harbaugh with the Giants, offensive coordinator Matt Nagy is slotting Likely into a high-volume “big slot” role. Explosive after the catch, dependable in the red zone and poised for a bigger target share, Likely’s athletic profile and age (26) make him a value that won’t stay cheap for long once the volume hits.
Kenyon Sadiq (TE – NYJ)
- Rookie ADP: #7 Overall
- Startup ECR: TE9 (Overall #78)
Kenyon Sadiq is a legit size-speed unicorn with rare movement skills that let him win vertically and create mismatches all over the field. The Jets didn’t draft him to be some in-line blocker. They want him flexed and motioned around as a true weapon, which is exactly the usage that produces those explosive spike weeks tight ends rarely give you.
Sadiq is still raw and priced like a long-term project, but that just makes him a screaming buy.
Eil Stowers (TE – PHI)
- Rookie ADP: #13 Overall
- Startup ECR: TE11 (Overall #87)
Eli Stowers is an absolute athletic freak, breaking tight end combine records with a 45.5-inch vertical and a 4.51 40-yard dash, ranking him as the seventh-most athletic tight end who has ever tested. The Eagles grabbed him at pick 54 after he posted an elite 2.70 yards per route run at Vanderbilt, positioning him perfectly as Dallas Goedert’s immediate heir.
Stop letting the market discount him just because Goedert is still around for 2026. Stowers’s 70% college slot rate means the Eagles can instantly deploy him as a detached weapon before he completely inherits the starting job in 2027.
Drew Allar (QB – PIT)
- Rookie ADP: #47 Overall
- Startup ECR: QB44 (Overall #315)
The Steelers clearly view Drew Allar as the future, and the physical tools are obvious the second you watch him — big frame, huge arm and more mobility than people think. Letting him sit behind Aaron Rodgers for a bit is probably the best thing for his development. The upside is real if this staff, under new head coach Mike McCarthy, can clean up the decision-making issues.
Ricky Pearsall (WR – SF)
- Startup ECR: WR38 (Overall #84)
Ricky Pearsall is still being valued like a depth receiver, even though the underlying numbers were encouraging before the knee injury slowed him down. He was already flashing legit separation ability and led San Francisco in receiving yards per game during stretches of 2025, which matters in a Kyle Shanahan offense built around timing and YAC.
If Pearsall stays healthy, the route-running and versatility are good enough for him to grow into a weekly WR2 once the target hierarchy with the additions of Mike Evans and Christian Kirk shifts around him.
Jadarian Price (RB – SEA)
- Rookie ADP: #4 Overall
- Startup ECR: RB22 (Overall #73)
Jadarian Price has a real chance at significant touches with Kenneth Walker III now in Kansas City, and Zach Charbonnet’s recovery from injury to start the season. Price is a great fit for this offense since he can operate in space and remain on the field during passing downs, which is where much of today’s fantasy value is generated.
If the workload shifts in his favor early, Price’s dynasty value could rise quickly.
Ted Hurst (WR – TB)
- Rookie ADP: #24 Overall
- Startup ECR: WR69 (Overall #154)
Ted Hurst is the kind of cheap dynasty asset who can blow up in value fast because he’s the only true X receiver on Tampa’s roster after Mike Evans left. At 6-foot-4 and 206 pounds with 4.42 speed and that nasty 1.55 split, he’s the one wideout in this room who can win vertically. That matters with Chris Godwin in a contract year and the Buccaneers starving for a downfield threat.
Hurst is already flashing early in rookie minicamp, and these big, explosive perimeter types tend to pop the moment they earn snaps.
Nicholas Singleton (RB – TEN)
- Rookie ADP: #16 Overall
- Startup ECR: RB47 (Overall #170)
Nicholas Singleton’s fifth-round draft price completely bottoms out his market cost because of a Senior Bowl foot fracture, but his 4.35 speed and elite pass-blocking frame scream true three-down workhorse talent.
While Tennessee’s backfield looks like a crowded mess right now, both Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears are on expiring contracts and hit free agency right after this season. Grab Singleton for dirt cheap now before he takes over the lead 1A early-down role in 2027.
Kaytron Allen (RB – WSH)
- Rookie ADP: #19 Overall
- Startup ECR: RB56 (Overall #195)
Kaytron Allen steps into a Washington backfield where nobody has a real grip on early‑down work. Allen put up 4,100+ yards at Penn State with a downhill, one‑cut style and legit short‑area juice, which is exactly the kind of profile that steals goal‑line touches and 10-12 carries a week if he beats out Jacory Croskey‑Merritt and Rachaad White.
At his price, you’re betting on a proven producer in an unsettled backfield — and those bets tend to pay off fast once camp reps start sorting things out.
