Each year a new crop of future fantasy football studs begin to hit tape and the class of 2026 is taking shape. The Dynasty’s future first-round picks are starting to reveal themselves; some we expected, and some that didn’t get much hype coming into the season. The overall strength of the fantasy football prospect class is strong, to… quite strong. Let me know if you get that reference. It’s time to reveal the 2026 draft class to the world for us fantasy sickos.

Level 1: The Big Dawgs
RB1: Jeremiyah Love, Notre Dame
Jeremiyah Love looks like he was built in a fantasy football laboratory. Dude has juice; I’m talking serious burst, smooth feet and balance that allows him to bounce off tackles like a pinball. He is dangerous in space and can start working as soon as he reaches the first level. Love has that kind of RB1 advantage, and if he sharpens his patience and trusts his blocks, it’s ovah.
WR1: Jordyn Tyson, Arizona State
Jordyn Tyson just moves differently than the rest of this wide receiver class. His routes are clean, he has reliable hands and he is explosive off the line. He’s the kind of receiver who makes defenders look ridiculous in one-on-one coverage. Now you can tell he relies on body catches when you grind the tape, but his route and body control more than makes up for it. Tyson just opens up, and that pays off in fantasy.
QB1: LaNorris Sellers, South Carolina
LaNorris Sellers is the dual-threat QB every fantasy manager dreams of. He has a big arm, is a great athlete and plays with swagger. When he gets going, he looks unstoppable. He delivers darts and breaks off chunks like it’s nothing. But there are still times when his accuracy fades or he tries to play hero ball. Clean those things up and we’re talking about a quarterback who can dominate both real and fantasy football.
TE1: Kenyon Sadiq, Oregon
Kenyon Sadiq is a walking mismatch. Fast for his size, explosive after the catch and scary when he gets a burst of steam. He has that natural passing touch that becomes the blueprint for imaginative tight ends. Now, blocking isn’t exactly his thing, and sometimes it seems like he’s just trying to survive, but fantasy managers don’t care. He’s the kind of player who can put up the numbers to be a weekly starter in fantasy football.
Level 2: Other high-ranking players
WR2: Makai Citroen, USC
Makai Lemon is the kind of player that coaches (and fantasy managers) will love. He is reliable and polished, and his football IQ is noticeable. I can’t wait to see his combined numbers to really get an idea of how his game could translate at the next level. His routes are clear, his hands are reliable and he doesn’t waste a move. I can see some different results once he turns pro, but he has a rookie first-round pick written all over his face.
WR3: Denzel Boston, Washington
Denzel Boston plays with an edge. He is physical, confident and not afraid to go up and get it. He is built for the boundary and has the size to potentially outwit defenders for the ball. The downside? He’s not super nervous and won’t create separation like the smaller guys. But if you have such mittens like him, you can overcome divorce problems. Boston is a producer of red zone threats and fantasies waiting to happen.
RB2: Jonah Coleman, Washington
Jonah Coleman runs like he’s mad at the defense. Short, stocky, low to the ground: defenders just bounce off him. He has solid balance, good hands and enough power to turn short wins into chunk plays. He’s not the most creative defender and he won’t run away from the fastest defenders, but you know exactly what you’re getting with Coleman. Consistency and toughness. Fantasy managers (myself included) will love his game.
RB3: Nicholas Singleton, Penn State
Nicholas Singleton is one of those guys who tests your patience because the talent is obvious. He hesitates a little too often, but the tools are still there. If he gets into a system where he can play loose, he can come out and remind everyone why we were so hyped in the first place.
QB2: John Metery, Oklahoma
John Mateer is one of the fastest risers on the NFL and fantasy draft boards. He is efficient, accurate and doesn’t panic if the bag collapses. He throws a little funky and plays like a gun-slinger. I mean that both positively and negatively. You can tell he has a good feel for the game, even if he moves away from the basics in the mechanics department. He has a super high ceiling and a pretty low floor, but Mateer’s rapid upward movement will be very exciting for fantasy football.
QB3: Dante Moore, Oregon
Dante Moore did a great job showing off his arm talent this season for the Ducks. The ball jumps out of his hand and he can make any throw on the field. A faded former five-star recruit has done a great job of reminding the football world that he can be himself. Moore may be the best pitcher in his class, but his lack of playmaking ability in the run game will be the reason why managers may not draft him too much. The potential 1.01 on the NFL Draft hype train is just starting to gain momentum.
Level 3: My boys
WR: Elijah Sarratt, Indiana
Elijah Sarratt plays like a dog, plain and simple. He’s physical, competitive and has that ‘throw it my way’ confidence you like to see. He’s not a track star, but he doesn’t have to be. He runs great routes, wins through contact and just makes winning plays. Where he goes in the NFL Draft still seems unclear, but he will be on fantasy gamers’ radars regardless of his future draft capital.
RB: Justice Haynes, Michigan
Judge Haynes walks like a pro. Even though he transferred to Michigan, he looks like the Alabama running backs we’ve become accustomed to. He is patient, decisive and tough, and he has great vision. Haynes never shies away from contact and doesn’t dance too much before hitting the hole. Some might say he doesn’t have great explosiveness, but he makes up for it by doing the little things well. Haynes is built for volume and red-zone work, the kind of player who quietly racks up fantasy points in the NFL.
TE: Eli Stowers, Vanderbilt
Eli Stowers is a name people should remember. He has a lot of experience, in other words he has been studying for half a decade. But Stowers is quite athletic, smooth and already understands how to find weak spots in coverage – a great example of the modern tight end archetype. He may need some time to find his way into the fantasy landscape, but he could turn into one of those mid-round fantasy tight ends who eventually becomes a legitimate weapon.
Final thoughts
This class of 2026 is already overshadowed by the rookie class of 2027 (which is fair), but there is a lot of talent to be excited about joining the league. There is real potential star power at the top with LaNorris Sellers, Jeremiyah Love and Jordyn Tyson, and we have the right ingredients to provide some quality depth. You have steady contributors, breakout candidates, and some high upside swings that can make or break future rookie drafts.
