Dynasty Rookie Mock Draft: Superflex, Early Pick (2026 Fantasy Football)

With the NFL Draft complete, it is dynasty rookie draft season. I have been conducting numerous real-life rookie drafts, and today I combined those data points with our Mock Draft Simulator. The result is a 10-team SuperFlex Rookie Mock Draft that turned out well from the fourth pick. Before getting into the picks themselves, I want to point out two things about this class: This is not the year to need a quarterback, and there are some late-round flyers that I really like. I know the consensus is that this is a weaker pool than in some past years, but I think you can unearth some diamonds late. Here’s a look at a dynasty rookie mock draft for a superflex league where I had the fourth pick.

10-Team Dynasty Rookie Mock Draft: Superflex, Early Pick | Fantasy Football

1.04 – KC Concepcion (WR – CLE)

I have been targeting Concepcion over Makai Lemon and Carnell Tate throughout my spring rookie drafts. I think Concepcion is the best true separator at the line of scrimmage in this class, which gives him a slight nod over those two. If not for the questions at quarterback in Cleveland, Concepcion would be seen as more of a first-year difference maker in fantasy. As it stands, he will likely be the top target earner at receiver for the Browns, as he should easily pass Jerry Jeudy on the depth chart and is likely well ahead of fellow rookie Denzel Boston. Only Harold Fannin should threaten Concepcion for targets this fall.

2.04 – Nicholas Singleton (RB – TEN)

The Titans may have found a Day 3 steal in Singleton. He leaves Penn State after rushing for over 3,400 yards and 45 touchdowns in his career, breaking Saquon Barkley’s career rushing touchdowns mark. He also had 102 receptions in his college career, which gives me some confidence that he could handle a three-down role in the NFL. Although he is coming off a disappointing season last fall and an injury suffered at the Senior Bowl, Singleton is coming to a Tennessee team devoid of major playmakers. Tony Pollard has rushed for 1,000 yards in each of the last three seasons, but he is just turning 29 and has accumulated over 875 touches since 2022. Although Singleton may not be the Week 1 starter, I feel good about his long-term outlook with the Titans.

3.04 – Drew Allar (QB – PIT)

This rookie class isn’t particularly deep, and after the first two rounds, the talent level drops off significantly. At quarterback, I am not sure there is anyone outside of Fernando Mendoza worth drafting, but Allar presents an intriguing dart throw. He was being discussed as a potential top-10 pick a year ago, but after a disastrous 2025 season in Happy Valley, he slipped all the way to the third round. Despite his immense arm talent, issues with his footwork and questionable decision-making with the football have taken the shine off of him. That said, Mike McCarthy is a solid offensive mind, and the early reports out of Pittsburgh are that Allar’s arm is as good as advertised. Could he be a franchise quarterback? Perhaps he can. At this point in a rookie draft, Allar is well worth consideration as the third quarterback off the board.

4.04 – Justin Joly (TE – DEN)

Joly is a long-term play, but the landing spot is a good one. As one of the few true receiving tight ends in this year’s draft class, he is someone to target late in rookie drafts. Denver still has Evan Engram, but his contract expires at the end of 2026, leaving room for Joly to take over as the primary tight end in Denver as early as 2027. Originally recruited to UConn as a wide receiver in college, Joly led the team in receiving as a sophomore. He then transferred to NC State, where he caught 92 passes in two seasons for 1,150 yards and 11 touchdowns. Joly is in the same mold as Engram, and if the latter disappoints in 2026, Joly could get plenty of opportunity. If you miss out on Kenyon Sadiq or Eli Stowers early, Joly is a nice late-round pivot. I would be prepared to snag him a bit earlier than this, as he has gone in Round 3 of a few real-life rookie drafts I’m in.

5.04 – Eli Heidenreich (RB – PIT)

Heidenreich is listed here as a running back, but he is being looked at as a hybrid receiver-running back during rookie camp. He was good out of the backfield as a receiver at Navy, and he has drawn comparisons to former Steeler and current Bucs’ running back Kenneth Gainwell. Heidenreich was a 7th Round selection, so we need to temper expectations, but versatility is a good thing in the NFL. If he is to make the club in August, it will largely be because he can play a dual role in the offense. Pittsburgh has a good running back room, adding Rico Dowdle to pair with Jaylen Warren, but they could still use all the help they can get on that side of the ball in the way of playmakers. Like Joly in the 4th Round, I am happy to take a swing.
