Dynasty Rookie Draft Picks

Experts share their fantasy football outlook for a few of these dynasty rookie draft picks from the 10th pick.

1.10 – Omar Cooper Jr. (WR – NYJ)

Omar Cooper Jr. is a viable late-round dart throw. Yes, I have concerns about the Jets’ passing attack outside of Garrett Wilson. How many players can Geno Smith support in fantasy in 2026 when he was wretched last year? Considering Cooper’s late-round ADP, though, the risk is all baked in, and expectations are low. Cooper has the talent to outperform them. During his final season in college, he was 36th in yards per route run, 27th in YAC per reception, and fourth in missed tackles (per PFF). Cooper displayed the ability to operate in the slot and on the perimeter in college, so don’t be surprised if he is playing in two wide receiver sets in short order in 2026.
– Derek Brown

2.10 – Germie Bernard (WR – PIT)

Germie Bernard profiles as a better real-life fit than fantasy target entering the NFL, landing behind established veterans DK Metcalf and Michael Pittman Jr. in Pittsburgh. The former Alabama receiver offers versatility, toughness, and strong YAC ability, which should help him earn snaps early, particularly from the slot. However, Year 1 fantasy expectations should remain modest given the crowded depth chart and uncertainty surrounding Pittsburgh’s quarterback situation. The second-round pick feels more like a long-term depth stash than an immediate-impact rookie, although his well-rounded skill set gives him a relatively safe floor.
– Andrew Erickson

3.10 – Bryce Lance (WR – NO)

Bryce Lance has the opportunity to crack the Saints’ starting lineup coming out of camp now, with the upcoming lengthy absence of Jordyn Tyson as he deals with another hamstring injury. Tyson could be out until Week 7 or 8 of the regular season. Many drafters will automatically gravitate to Devaughn Vele in the final round of their drafts, but I have little interest in Vele. Vele hasn’t been able to prove himself to be a consistent target earner, and his 1.34 career yards per route run is middling at best (per PFF). Lance is a blazing-fast field stretcher who can threaten a defense at all three levels. In his final collegiate season, among all FBS/FCS wide receivers with at least 50 targets, he ranked sixth in yards per route run, eighth in yards per reception, and eighth-best in receiving grade. Lance is a fantastic last-round lottery ticket that could pay huge dividends in 2026.
– Derek Brown

4.10 – Robert Henry (RB – WAS)

5.10 – Sam Roush (TE – CHI)
