Dynasty Rookie Draft Picks

1.02 – Fernando Mendoza (QB – LV)

The No. 1 pick in this year’s NFL Draft, Fernando Mendoza might sit behind veteran Kirk Cousins early in the season, but it shouldn’t be long before the 2025 Heisman Trophy winner takes over as the Raiders’ starter. Mendoza completed 72.0% of his passes last season, averaged 9.3 yards per pass attempt, and threw for 41 touchdowns in 16 games while leading Indiana to an undefeated season and the National Championship. Mendoza has an NFL-caliber arm and terrific ball placement. A student of the game, Mendoza is cool under fire. His functional mobility probably won’t translate to much rushing value at the NFL level, although Mendoza could score a few rushing touchdowns every year. Matt Ryan seems like a reasonable comp for Mendoza based on their tools and style of play. We might not see much of a fantasy impact from the rookie in Year 1, particularly when the Raiders are so short on pass-catching firepower beyond TE Brock Bowers, but we can’t rule out a fantasy-relevant rookie season for Mendoza.

2.02 – Jonah Coleman (RB – DEN)

Jonah Coleman walks into the Denver depth chart as the RB3 with the ability to climb the depth chart. If J.K. Dobbins is unable to stay healthy this year, Coleman could assume the early down duties opposite R.J. Harvey. If Harvey can’t continue to grow and improve after his rookie season, it wouldn’t be shocking to see Coleman hop Harvey on the depth chart and become the passing-down option for Denver. Over his last three collegiate seasons, Coleman ranked 54th, 13th, and 1st in yards after contact per attempt and 61st, sixth, and fourth in elusive rating (per PFF). In two of those three seasons, he was also top 24 in yards per route run. Coleman is a wonderful late-round dart to toss in fantasy drafts in 2026.

3.02 – Skyler Bell (WR – BUF)

Skyler Bell is headed to Buffalo to catch passes from Josh Allen after being selected in the fourth round of the NFL Draft. Bell will have to hop Joshua Palmer and possibly Keon Coleman to hit the starting lineup. My worry for Bell is that Buffalo will continue to deploy a wide receiver by committee approach with Joe Brady at the helm, which would cap his upside and drop his floor yearly, even if he can win a “starting” spot. The talent is there for Bell to earn his way up the depth chart and fight Khalil Shakir for the WR2 role behind DJ Moore, though. Bell is a nice upside swing in the mid/late second round of rookie drafts.

4.02 – Justin Joly (TE – DEN)

Justin Joly was drafted by the Broncos in the fifth round of the NFL Draft. He could compete with Adam Trautman in 2026 for the TE2 role on the Broncos. Evan Engram is a free agent after the 2026 season, so Joly could take his role in the offense in 2027. We have seen that the role isn’t very valuable, though.

5.02 – Seth McGowan (RB – IND)

Seth McGowan is truly trying to pull off his best Isiah Pacheco impression as a seventh-round selection in the NFL Draft (Colts). Yes, Jonathan Taylor is the bellcow for Indy, and I don’t see that changing, but the RB2 spot is up for grabs in Indy. I loved DJ Giddens as a prospect, but he was a ghost last year and not a shoo-in to be Taylor’s handcuff. McGowan is a free lottery ticket handcuff pick in dynasty rookie drafts. McGowan is an easy late-round rookie pick selection that you can stash on a taxi squad, and if he doesn’t get substantial work in year one, you can cut him loose. He’s 25 years old, so if he doesn’t fire out the gate in the NFL, it’s probably a situation where you’re cutting bait after year one.
