Latest 2026 Dynasty Rookie Mock Draft Picks & Predictions
Here are the top 6 picks from our latest dynasty rookie mock draft.
1.01: Jeremiyah Love (RB – Notre Dame)
Jeremiyah Love is as locked into the 1.01 spot this year as Ashton Jeanty was last year. His combination of size, strength, athleticism and versatility makes him the ideal NFL workhorse. In the right landing spot, Love could score 20 PPR points per game as a rookie.
1.02: Makai Lemon (WR – USC)
Don’t expect Makai Lemon to be the first receiver off the board in the 2026 NFL Draft, but his play style suits PPR formats perfectly. Lemon is primarily a slot receiver, the ideal position for fantasy purposes in today’s NFL.
Lemon is also an incredible asset after the catch, playing even bigger than his 5-foot-11, 195-pound frame would suggest.
1.03: Jordyn Tyson (WR – Arizona State)
Jordyn Tyson will end up being the first wide receiver off the board in the draft. He’s an elite talent in his own right, displaying soft hands, boundary awareness and body control during his time at Arizona State.
Tyson is also highly versatile, making him a great fit with virtually any NFL team. However, I’m giving the tiebreak to Lemon, given Tyson’s injury history.
1.04: Carnell Tate (WR – Ohio State)
Mr. Sticky Hands, Carnell Tate, went the entire 2025 season without recording a drop for the Buckeyes. Tate is a downfield threat who projects to have a lower floor than Jordyn Tyson or Makai Lemon every week, given he doesn’t demand the target volume they do.
What Tate lacks in explosiveness and separation ability, he more than makes up for with strength at the catch point. Tate should be a reliable No. 2 WR in the NFL, and average about 13-15 PPR points per game for most of his career.
1.05: KC Concepcion (WR – Texas A&M)
KC Concepcion had a big bounceback year in 2025, proving he’s more than just a gadget player. He finished with over 900 receiving yards and nine touchdowns, posting an impressive 26.8% target rate and 2.46 yards per route run (YPRR).
Drop issues are a major concern, with a whopping 19 career drops for a 9.3% drop rate. Concepcion needs to clean that up to secure an every-down role at the next level.
1.06: Jonah Coleman (RB – Washington)
Jonah Coleman is my RB2 in the 2026 class now that Justice Haynes has transferred to Georgia Tech rather than declaring for the 2026 NFL Draft.
Coleman had a down year in 2025 due to some nagging injuries, but he has been a highly efficient rusher throughout his career. Coleman is a very capable pass-catcher as well, confirming his three-down skill set. Think Josh Jacobs in terms of top-end player comps.
