We’ve completed Week 5 of the College Football season, and the future of the 2026 Rookie Class is beginning to take shape. So naturally, it’s time for my first Early 2026 NFL Draft Rookie Big Board. I’ll give you my Top-24 2026 Rookie Rankings with scouting data, break down the value of current draft picks, and unpack the draft class by position. This is currently an underrated group with depth at quarterback and wide receiver that’s reminiscent of the 2023 draft class. Without further ado, here’s why you should hesitate before shipping off 2026 dynasty rookie picks.

Quarterback Rankings | 2026 SuperFlex Rookie Big Board

These are the 4 NFL Prospect Quarterbacks featured in this Post Week 5 2026 SuperFlex Rookie Big Board:

Quarterback is obviously the strongest decider on the strength of a rookie class, both in the NFL and in Dynasty. SuperFlex inflates the value of Dynasty rookie picks even further, and we could legitimately have 3 quarterbacks top the Big Board by the time April arrives, despite notable fallers. The biggest decider among the 1st Round hopefuls will be the physical traits like rushing and arm talent, and this group has a diverse group of every archetype. For previous scouting reports on more QBs, check them out in our 2026 NFL Draft QB Rankings.

Analysis for Quarterback Rankings | 2026 NFL Draft Rookie Big Board
Dante Moore, QB | Oregon | 6’3” | 206 lbs

I’m obviously ready to have the Dante Moore QB1 conversation, and I’m starting it right now. He’s the least tested out of my current Big 3, and this could look foolish by the time they play Penn State and Indiana. But that’s a risk I’m more than willing to make due to coaching pedigree and the impressive display we’ve seen already.

Oregon HC Dan Lanning revived the careers of both Bo Nix and Dillon Gabriel, and Dante Moore has the best physical tools out of the three. He’s a passer first with the physical gifts to extend plays, but his most impressive traits on tape are his snap decision-making while delivering fastballs on a rope. The Lanning system is a proven QB-development factory, and I’m fully bought in.

Garrett Nussmeier, QB | LSU | 6’1” | 205 lbs

Garrett Nussmeier has been the model of consistency, which sets him near the top of our Big Board despite being an undersized pocket passer. However, he has the arm and the processing to be a franchise quarterback with his Burrow playstyle in the frame of Baker Mayfield. His 6’1’’ height doesn’t limit his leverage on the football, delivering strong passes at all three levels of the field and down the sideline. He may be passed up again due to upside by April, but he’s arguably the safest quarterback in the bunch.

John Mateer, QB | Oklahoma | 6’1” | 205 lbs

John Mateer looks like the start of OU’s rise back into relevance. Moreover, his smooth rushing and mobility already give him a higher upside than Garrett Nussmeier. The OU quarterback played an efficient game in a grind-it-out slug fest against Auburn, and continues to show a moderate NFL arm able to deliver the deep ball or feather it in the money zone behind linebackers. The Heisman talk should start in Norman, and I’m already buying into it ending there. 

Joey Aguilar, QB | Tennessee | 6’3” | 225 lbs

Joey Aguilar has made Tennessee and most of the nation forget about Nico Iamaleava by leading the SEC in passing yards (1,459) through 5 games. Aguilar has allowed the offense to schematically mature with his ability to work through real NFL progressions. The Volunteer passing game has gone from a gimmicky RPO-based offense built around screens and crossers to a detailed assault that consistently attacks all 3 levels of the field because of Aguilar’s accuracy and poise.

The Game isn’t too big for Tennessee’s new transfer QB, and the Heisman race is still very much in his grasp. The real question is how high his NFL draft stock may be because he’s the type of talent that pushes down depth in Super Flex leagues. Aguilar is a must-watch, and Tennessee is a real CFB Playoff vet behind his arm.

Top Dynasty Running Backs | 2026 Rookie Big Board

The top 7 Running Backs in the 2026 NFL Draft before Week 6 of the College Football season:

RankPlayerSchoolFilm GradeHeightWeightAge2Jeremiyah LoveNotre Dame88.06’0”214207Justice HaynesMichigan84.15’11”2102116Waymond JordanUSC84.05’9”210—18Jonah ColemanWashington81.15’9”2252219Darius TaylorMinnesota81.66’0”215—23Nicholas SingletonPenn State79.96’0”2272124Le’Veon MossTexas A&M79.55’11”210—

The top of the running back class is the one separator between the 2024 class, headed by *checks notes* Jonathan Brooks and Trey Benson. The top is strong, but we quickly run into question marks regarding the strength of competition and older transfers, and the value could be shaky. Does this mean there’s no upside? No, but don’t overvalue second-rounders. Rather, target pass catchers over Day 3 running backs. For full scouting reports, check out the previous Top 10 Running Backs for the 2026 NFL Draft.

Post Week 4 Running Back Rankings | 2026 NFL Draft Prospects
Jeremiyah Love, RB | Notre Dame | 6’0” | 214 lbs

Jeremiyah Love is the safest prospect in the class. His downfield receiving ability is the best I’ve seen since Jahmyr Gibbs and Bijan Robinson. Not just the speed to separate off a mismatch, but to run a full route tree with nuance like a true slto or flanker, and his athleticism is noticeable with every touch. Love is the only running back I can see going in the first round. I wouldn’t be surprised to see him ranked ahead of Ashton Jeanty in April with an ideal landing spot.

Justice Haynes, RB | Michigan | 5’11” | 210 lbs

Justice Haynes is the last running back that I feel confident spending a 1st-round dynasty rookie pick because of his explosive playmaking in Michigan’s run-first offense. I’m not a fan of giving comps on players this early–especially comping them to recent players so blatantly– but Haynes plays TreVeyon Henderson in a rival uniform. He’s a decisive one-cut player who fits the prototype of the modern committee-focused back that yields the highest upside. Receiving work will be a major factor in just how high his ceiling can be.

Jonah Coleman, RB | Washington | 5’9” | 225 lbs

Jonah Coleman is a consistent and productive thumper who is another productive out of a Washington offense that’s been an NFL pipeline for the last 2 seasons. His decisive one-cut style, low center of gravity, and reliable hands for dumpoffs profile as a modern bellcow or at least the 1A early down role for an NFL team. Coleman could’ve been a Top-5 back in the highly-touted 2025 class, so I wouldn’t be surprised if he’d be the RB2 if a team falls in love with his physical style.

Waymond Jordan, RB | USC | 5’11” | 210 lbs

The Transfer Portal hasn’t been kind to other running backs, but Waymond Jordan has done the most with his opportunities and fits the Lincoln Riley archetype of an elusive receiving back. The patience and quick cutting allow him to effectively navigate rushing lanes and create plays for himself even when plays break down. His real fantasy value will be if an NFL team can deploy him in the receiving game just like USC asks from their running backs, to allow a safe PPR floor. 3rd-down work is crucial because of his lack of size. However, he’s one of the most electric rushers in the class.

Darius Taylor, RB | Minnesota | 6’0” | 215 lbs

Darius Taylor is seen by a few as the RB1 due to his gaudy stats as the backbone of Minnesota’s offense. He moves well in tight spaces, has good size, and vision to navigate rushing lanes. However, I do worry about his overall athleticism and how well his skills translate to stiffer competition.

Taylor wouldn’t be the first of his stature and play type to be underdrafted and then excel on the right team. Prospects like Kyle Monangai, David Montgomery, and Cam Skattebo are examples, both new and old, who are prime examples of straight-line speed not being the end-all be-all. Dynasty managers just need to be mindful that college production can fool you into overvaluing talent.

Nicholas Singleton, RB | Minnesota | 6’0” | 227 lbs

Nicholas Singleton is an athletic Devy Darling with all the upside in the world to be an NFL bellcow. He has a rare size and speed combo to couple with receiving ability should yield him modest draft capital at the least. However, he falls under the same category of most Penn State prospects: super athletes with very little polish. He does the little things incorrectly that could compound to bigger issues like ball security. These are nitpicks that might hold him back a season, but he’s far from undraftable and should be a heavy target if draft capital drops his cost.

Le’Veon Moss, RB | Texas A&M | 5’11” | 210 lbs

Le’Veon Moss plays much bigger than his weight may suggest and has been the go-to option in the redzone. This next comp will sound like a bad thing relative to the NFL season, but his quick decisions to hit the line of scrimmage with speed and constantly move north and south remind me of Kaleb Johnson. He doesn’t show much receiving upside, but he could be the lead back in a committee or a solid gap runner. I wouldn’t label him as a must-target, but I would monitor h

Rookie Wide Receivers Rankings | 2026 NFL Draft Prospects

The top Rookie Wide Receivers for the 2026 NFL Draft Big Board include these names:

RankPlayerSchoolFilm GradeHeightWeightAge4Carnell TateOhio State88.26’3”195205KC ConcepcionTexas A&M88.25’11”190206Jordyn TysonArizona St.83.76’2”201219Makai LemonUSC84.75’11”1952110Ja’Kobi LaneUSC83.76’4”2002111Chris Brazzell IITennessee83.06’5”2002112Eric Singleton Jr.Auburn86.55’10”1802014Germie BernardAlabama85.06’1”2052120Denzel BostonWashington81.26’4”209—21Malachi FieldsNotre Dame80.76’4”223—22Deion BurksOklahoma82.25’9”18822

This receiver class is deceptively deep, and they’re the top reason you should hang on to draft picks. The top doesn’t have the strength of the 2027 draft class, but the amount of speed and slot target hogs is reminiscent of the strength of the 2023 class, headlined by Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Zay Flowers. However, this class has strong “X” receivers that are far more polished than many give credit.

Pre-Week 5 Wide Receiver Rankings | 2026 Rookie Big Board (Condensed Table)
Carnell Tate, WR | Ohio State | 6’3” | 195 lbs

Contrary to others, Carnell Tate is my top receiver. I’m neither helmet scouting nor ignoring the talents of those behind him, but it’s difficult to find flaws in an ideal “X” wide receiver with both the size/speed combination and the nuance to separate. I never want to discount the ability of a slot player–they’re incredibly productive. However, elite body control and hands, downfield speed, and strong blocking are rarer commodities. I wouldn’t be surprised to hear Tate’s name called first off the board, and someone like the Tennessee Titans could have a brand-new dynamic playmaker.

KC Concepcion, WR | Texas A&M | 5’11’’ | 190 lbs

KC Concepcion reminds me of a prime Antonio Brown. He’s my WR2 despite all my talk about outside receivers, but more importantly, I believe he has the speed and skill at the line of scrimmage to play as a flanker. He’s a snappy route runner with a full tree and game-breaking YAC abilities to yield touches in a multitude of ways. The NFL has evolved to cater to separators and target hogs, not just 6’ redzone threats, and Concepcion has all the ability to be a team’s WR1 despite his height.

Jordyn Tyson, WR | Arizona State | 6’2” | 201 lbs

I’m sure I’ll get plenty of heat for not having Jordyn Tyson as my WR1, but hear me out: I still think he’s a Top 50 NFL Draft pick. He’s a dynamic player after the catch and is always the top athlete on the field. However, his passive hands against press coverage are one of the unexciting things that make a player a team’s WR1 and a strong WR2. Moreover, landing in an ideal system like Emeka Egbuka in Tampa Bay or Rashee Rice in Kansas City. Consider the top of this class a tier within itself.  

Makai Lemon, WR | USC | 5’11” | 195 lbs

USC may have one of the best wide receiver combos in college football, and that starts with Makai Lemon. His crisp route running and ability to play much bigger than his 5’11’’ height are reminiscent of both Antonio Brown and Tyreek Hill. He doesn’t quite have Tyreek Hill’s speed, but big-play ability is apparent every time he touches the ball, and he’s capable of playing outside the hash marks as a “Z” Flanker. Don’t be surprised to see him drafted 1st Round in both the NFL Draft and your Dynasty rookie drafts.

Ja’Kobi Lane, WR | USC | 6’4” | 200 lbs

As I mentioned above, I’m very high on the USC receiver,s and Ja’Kobi Lane has real NFL “X” receiver upside that’s reminiscent of a (hopefully) healthy Tee Higgins. He has the strongest hands in the class, arguably the best 50/50 winner, and has enough speed to separate downfield. The Jury is still out on whether or not there will be room for him to rise into the 1st Round of the NFL draft, but I have strong doubts we see him slip past the second round.

Chris Brazzell II, WR | Tennessee | 6’5” | 200 lbs

Chris Brazzell II is probably the fastest riser this CFB season. He, along with Joey Aguilar, has finally elevated the Volunteer offense to its true potential. The transfer has been effective all across the formation and at all three levels of the field. He has the coveted size and speed combination to go along with ball tracking and strength. He may leave a lot to be desired after the catch, but he can be a big play threat downfield.

Eric Singleton Jr. WR | Auburn | 5’10” | 180 lbs

Eric Singleton Jr. is the best YAC receiver in the class. Auburn is up there with USC regarding their wealth of receivers, and Singleton is the big-play gamebreaker who can be manufactured touches and win downfield. I’m concerned about his fit in every offense due to his limited blocking ability and size. However, more teams prioritize playmakers and utilize multiple personnel packages, and Singleton can find his place on a team with special teams alone. Fit will be the key to his overall upside, but he’ll be worth a flier outside of 1st rounds of rookie drafts.

Germie Bernard, WR | Alabama | 6’1” | 205 lbs

Germie Bernard is an effective route runner with modest size and strong hands. His playstyle would be ideal as a slot player in a Dave Canales or Liam Coen-style system that utilizes 13 personnel. His long speed will be a limiting factor, thus the caveat as a slot player, but that doesn’t mean he can’t play outside. The overall depth of competition will likely push Bernard down the draft board, but that shouldn’t dissuade you from targeting him often. 

Denzel Boston, WR | Washington | 6’4” | 209 lbs

I struggle with where to rank Denzel Boston. He has underrated lateral ability and elite ball skills to be an effective redzone target. Moreover, he’s in a long line of talented recruits who played behind Rome Odunze, Ja’Lynn Polk, and Jalen McMillan, so there’s a bit of pedigree as a 3-Star recruit. But the major concern is overall athleticism that translates to the next level. Speed can be an overrated aspect, so I want to emphasize how much of a polished route runner and skilled receiver he is without it. Boston is a key reason why I’ve been coaching Dynasty managers to think it through before idly selling draft picks due to a perceived lack of value. This receiver class is deep, and Boston is the exact type of player that could be a value come draft time.

Malachi Fields, WR | Notre Dame | 6’4” | 223 lbs

Malachi Fields fits into the same tier as Denzel Boston. We love the size and ball skills, but will that size outweigh what he lacks as a downfield threat? Separation from speeds can oftentimes be overrated. However, Fields may face an uphill battle without perfect route running and spacing.

Deion Burks, WR | Oklahoma | 5’9” | 188 lbs

Deion Burks could’ve been a Day 2 pick in the 2025 draft class if OU had John Mateer at quarterback last season. He has electric movement skills both before and after the catch, and his ability to quickly separate compensates for his lack of size. He’ll be a strict slot player, but that’s no longer a death sentence if a team has a quarterback and scheme. I wouldn’t be surprised to see him fall to Day 3 in the NFL, but he’ll be a discount player I’m more than willing to cash in on.

Top Tight End NFL Prospects | 2026 NFL Draft Rookie Big Board

These are only 2 Tight Ends on the 2026 SuperFlex Rookie Big Board:

RankPlayerSchoolFilm GradeHeightWeightAge13Kenyon SadiqOregon91.46’3”2452017Eli StowersVanderbilt83.86’4”23622

Colleges are learning to develop and weaponize hyper athletes into tight ends and injecting them directly into the NFL’s veins. Versatility is an increasingly prized trait, and the trend of 1st Round tight ends is likely here to stay. “Deep” might be an outdated term relevant to the number of fantasy draftable tight ends, and the top of this class will be heavily targeted in Premium leagues.

Tight End NFL Prospects in 2026 Rookie Big Board | Dynasty Rankings
Kenyon Sadiq, TE | Oregon | 6’3” | 245 lbs

Kenyon Sadiq might be a top 10 overall prospect–not just a fantasy asset. The Oregon prospect is a viscous blocker and an elite athlete who plays as if Jonnu Smith and Kyle Pitts fused and eliminated their weaknesses. The receiving AND the blocking are key because this ensures that an NFL team can utilize him on every down, and Sadiq is the complete package. He’ll be a massive target in Tight End Premium leagues

Eli Stowers, TE | Vanderbilt | 6’4” | 236 lbs

Eli Stowers is closer to a Brock Bowers clone than we give him credit for. He and Diego Pavia make up the entirety of Vanderbilt’s offense, and the senior tight end is utilized in the rushing game as often as the passing game. His blocking is the biggest question mark, but he’s not exactly the type of player you want blocking, not unlike Bowers. His NFL Draft ceiling is anywhere from Tyler Warren to Harold Fannin Jr. Both have been productive so far.

I still want to preface that this is an EARLY Big Board, and we still don’t have proper coaches’ tape on many prospects, and the list will grow and shrink as we move through the season. However, some prospects simply don’t appear ready, and others may be transfers who aren’t yet fully productive.

(Tap) Pre Week 6, Post Week 5 2026 Big Board Honorable Mentions
Arch Manning, QB | Texas | 6’4” | 219 lbs

There’s no question of whether or not Arch Manning has the physical tools to succeed in the NFL, but he still looks like a green quarterback in the face of any pressure. I have a hard time believing that he’s leaving Texas after this season, especially considering the other risers at the position that would just drive his stock down.

LaNorris Sellers, QB | South Carolina | 6’3” | 240 lbs

Not unlike many of the uber-athletic quarterbacks ahead of LaNorris Sellers, the South Carolina prospect lacks an internal clock and takes on far too many sacks. Could this be a product of his environment? Perhaps. However, this is a common trait of this archetype due to their over-reliance on rushing. Experience might be just the thing to fully polish his game before he’s drafted to the Browns and ruined.

Drew Allar, QB | Penn State | 6’5” | 235 lbs

There’s a lot to love about Drew Allar’s game, but there are also egregious mistakes that shouldn’t be happening at this stage in his career. How he handles pressure is alarming when coupled with poor mobility. We can love the arm all day, but what’s between the ears and what he lacks athletically will push him down Draft Boards.

Makhi Hughes, RB | Oregon | 5’11” | 210 lbs

This entire blurb could be a statement on the Oregon backfield because Noah Whittington is poised to be a more notable name than highly-touted transfer Makhi Hughes. Whittington’s strong 3rd-down skills are limiting Hughes’ field time, but keep in mind that this could change as the latter acclimates to the Ducks’ System.

Outlook | 2026 NFL Draft Rookie Big Board

Overall, this is a draft class that may not be as strong at the top as others, but has depth throughout the middle that’s intriguing. I’m interested in acquiring 2nd round picks, not only because I want pieces of the class, but I see depth that others may overvalue—and you can flip picks into tangible assets.
