It's Jeremiyah Love. Malik Nabers was my original pick, but that felt like cheating given that his current ADP is heavily influenced by his ACL recovery. Ashton Jeanty went in the first round of fantasy drafts as a rookie and Love was taken higher in the NFL draft. Jeanty flopped in his first season and was still going at the 1-2 turn before an ankle injury dropped him a round. Omarion Hampton was a bust last year and his ADP shot up to the middle of the second round. Fantasy managers are more than willing to endlessly hype elite running back profiles, even when they don't hit. If Love even has a strong second half of his rookie season, he will shoot into the first round next year.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalBreakout

Top-five NFL RB likely to be 2027 first-rounder; strong second half could accelerate rise.

The source identifies Jeremiyah Love as a player who will likely be a first-rounder in 2027 despite going outside the first round in 2026; you simply don't see a top-five 'real life' running back go outside the first round, and Love was taken higher in the NFL draft than Ashton Jeanty, who went in the first round of fantasy drafts as a rookie. If Love has a strong second half of his rookie season, he will shoot into the first round next year.
