Can Fernando Mendoza Turn Around the Raiders? 2026 Rookies QBs—Tiers 1-6
The first player off the board in the 2026 draft will be a QB: Fernando Mendoza. That's meaningful. NFL teams consistently add a draft premium to their scouting grades for quarterbacks. But that still doesn't guarantee that a QB will go No. 1. For example, in
Mike Washington, So Hot Right Now. 2026 Rookie RBs—Tiers 3-6
In Part 1 of my RB previews, I covered Jeremiyah Love and Jadarian Price. I'll now be diving deeper into a class that... doesn't have much depth, but could still offer some diamonds in the rough. These are flawed prospects, both in terms of the stats
Jeremiyah Love's Versatile Upside. 2026 Rookie RBs—Tiers 1-2
The 2026 RB class is top-heavy. And that top-heavy nature is driven by one prospect: Jeremiyah Love. Love is clearly the RB1 in the class. He's also the consensus Superflex 1.01. And in early best ball ADP, he's the most expensive rookie by a wide
Don't Sleep on Jaylin Noel. Rookie WRs—Tiers 3-5
I'm getting this article out later than I was hoping... which means I've adjusted the best ball recommendations to account for where I was on these players before the draft and where I expect (or in some cases hope) to be on them after the draft.
Dear Travis Hunter, Please Play WR. 2025 Rookie WRs—Tiers 1-2
Since 2020, we've been blessed with a series of very strong WR classes. And many of those impressive prospects have gone on to deliver on their promising profiles. Of course, not every class was as strong as 2020, which included Justin Jefferson, CeeDee Lamb, Jerry Jeudy, Brandon Aiyuk,
Brashard Smith's Underrated Upside. Rookie RBs—Tiers 6-8
The top of the 2025 RB class is very impressive. The premium depth of the class is also unusually strong. The combination of these elements makes it highly likely that talented running backs will be taken too late in this year's draft or fall out of it entirely.
Harold Fannin, Folk Hero. 2025 Rookie TEs—Tiers 1-4
The NFL is excited about this tight end class. And when looking at Tyler Warren and Colston Loveland, I understand why. Both Warren and Colston were productive at big time programs. As we move past those TEs, it's clear that the NFL is excited about players... that I&
Cam Skattebo's Wide Range of Outcomes, Rookie RBs—Tiers 4-5
As I covered in Part 1 of my rookie RB profiles, the 2025 RB class is impressively deep. This year, my RB model currently has six RBs rated as being worth a 2nd round rookie pick in superflex dynasty. Depending on how the draft goes, it could be more. Although,
