The FF Dynasty - The Best Picks to Make In EVERY Round of Dynasty Startup Drafts

Alec Pierce offers Jameson Williams-style blow-up upside in round eight and now has the bag (contract), though his pecking order with Daniel Jones healthy is uncertain.

Baker Mayfield is a safe QB two option in round six with a strong floor (250-320 rushing yards) and ceiling potential, posting 22, 19, 17, 18, 24, 19 PPG to start 2025 before injury.

Host identifies Breece Hall at 405 ADP as a potential bell-cow running back option in the fourth round if you missed out on earlier RBs, noting that RBs dry up quickly after this range.

Jeremiah describes Bryce Lance as a sneaky play in the Saints offense, part of the elite weapons supporting Tyler Shuck.

Host identifies Caleb Williams at 109-110 ADP as one of his favorite first-round clicks in Superflex startup drafts.

Host expresses interest in Cam Ward in the fifth round, believing there will be improvement and that he could ascend to a third-round pick next year with a season like second-year Brock Purdy.

Jeremiah identifies Carnell Tate at 403 ADP as a back-end WR1 in Dynasty year one, highlighting that he's backed in with 130 targets and can get 10 targets guaranteed. Tate has an advantage over Tyson because Cam Ward is more of a gunslinger/thrower than Tyler Shuck, and Tate doesn't have the injury concerns of Jordan Tyson.

Jeremiah describes Chris Alave as borderline WR1 in Dynasty, highlighting him as part of Tyler Shuck's elite weapons in the Saints offense.

Christian Watson is expected to break out in round eight with 22-23% target share opportunity in the Packers offense, but durability concerns (hamstring injuries, ACL, 26 missed games) make him a calculated risk as a WR2 firewall.

Host identifies Colston Loveland at 303 ADP as a must-draft tight end in round three, describing him as a fail-safe hammer pick if you missed on McBride or Bowers.

DeAndre Swift is a solid RB2 option in round eight if you need running back depth, projected for another 1,000+ yards and 50-60 targets with the Bears despite long-term concerns.

Dak Prescott has floated back up in ADP and is a solid option if you need your first quarterback in the fourth or fifth round.

The analyst mentions Kincaid as a potential risk-reward tight end option in the 10th round with upside potential.

Daniel Jones has been cleared to throw and is participating in seven-on-seven drills, taking steps toward full recovery and potentially mispriced value similar to Jameson Williams if he returns to early-2025 form.

Devonta Smith is a favorite target at the end of round six or early round seven, representing good value at that ADP.

The analyst highlights Kittle as a potential league-winner in the 10th round, noting his historical track record of elite production when healthy.

Jeremiah identifies Jalen Hurts as an auto-pick in round three (301-303 range), calling it a crime that he falls that far when he should be a round-two fixture at minimum. Hurts finished QB8 last year with 19.1 PPG, second in designed runs per game, and second in red zone carries per game with 8 rushing TDs.

Jameson Williams finished as a top-12 WR in 2025 despite receiving only ~102 targets (6 per game), and with potential volume increase to 115-120 targets, he could reach top-five WR status given his elite touchdown scoring ability and deep threat prowess.

Jared Goff threw for 4,500 yards and 34 touchdowns in 2025 and is a safe QB option with consistent top-10 QB production over the last four to five years, though his ceiling is capped at 34-37 TDs with minimal rushing upside.

The analyst likes Higgins at 10.08 in the 10th round, highlighting him as one of several quality tight end options available in this round.

Jordan Addison has fallen to the ninth round and is now cheap enough to buy, averaging 14 PPG in 2024 with solid QB play, making him a screaming value despite a rough 2025 season.

Ninth round ADP is egregious value for Addison, who is clearly part of the Vikings' plan for at least the next two years with his fifth-year option exercised. The author believes he's still explosive and good at football, with the poor 2024 performance attributable to JJ McCarthy's poor quarterback play rather than declining talent.

If the Vikings solve their quarterback situation (whether with Kyler or if JJ McCarthy improves), Addison could be a league-winner in a contract year or second contract scenario with competent QB play.

Addison should perennially be one of the better WR2s or WR3s in the game and has the potential to be what Devonta Smith has been for the Eagles—a consistent, high-volume target for the Vikings.

Jeremiah mentions Jordan Tyson as one of the elite weapons in the Saints offense alongside Chris Alave, noting he's come in as part of the receiving corps.

Host identifies Kenneth Walker at 407 ADP as a potential bell-cow running back option in the fourth round if you missed out on earlier RBs, noting that RBs dry up quickly after this range.

Host identifies Lamar Jackson at 109 ADP as one of his favorite first-round clicks in Superflex startup drafts, suggesting strong value at that position.

Host expresses concern that Luther Burden's price point at 502 ADP is slightly out of control, noting that while he's a top-5 after-the-catch receiver, the certainty and proof of concept with Roman Dunze in the same round makes him prefer Dunze.

The analyst likes Andrews at 10.04 in the 10th round, highlighting him as one of several good tight end values available in this round.

The analyst likes Golden at 10.12 in the 10th round despite acknowledging that nobody else likes him, suggesting he's undervalued in dynasty startup drafts.

Rondé Gadsden is a major mismatch weapon for the Chargers in round eight who should be going in the early-to-mid seventh round, not behind Kenyon Sadiq, with significant upside if the offensive line improves.

Parker Washington is a 9-11 pick who is about to get paid and is part of the Seahawks' plans, with potential to be 2-3 rounds higher and should be ranked near or above DJ Moore and Alec Pierce based on target volume.

Host loves Patrick Mahomes at 210 ADP in the second round, describing it as a click he really enjoys making at that point.

Jeremiah identifies Quinshawn Judkins at 505 ADP as a youthful running back who can be a bell-cow RB. He notes that in trade value, Judkins and Saquon Barkley are very close in value, with Barkley having a better track record but more wear and tear.

Sam LaPorta is one of the best red zone weapons in the NFL and benefits from new OC Ben Johnson, making him a strong target despite some back concerns.

Shev believes Tucker Craft belongs in the same tier as Colston Loveland and Tyler Warren and can be acquired later. Before his ACL injury in week 8, Craft was #1 in yards per game (2.71 yards per route run), averaging 16 PPG in half-point TE premium with 30 receptions on 39 targets (5.6 targets/game). With Romeo Doubs and Dontavian Wicks departing, his target share could increase from 18% to 22-23%, potentially elevating him to TE1 tier.

Host identifies Tucker Craft at 412 ADP (early fourth round) as a must-draft pick, noting that grabbing any Packers is a good idea and that Craft is going to have a big role, big target threshold, and big red zone involvement.

Tucker Kraft offers narrow target tree opportunity in the Packers offense and can be paired with Christian Watson as a two-tight-end strategy to capitalize on Green Bay's passing distribution.

Host identifies Tyler Warren at 311 ADP as a must-draft tight end in round three, describing him as a fail-safe hammer pick if you missed on McBride or Bowers.

Zay Flowers finished as WR7 in 2025 and is expected to take another step forward in 2026 with new OC Declan Doyle, potentially reaching top-five aggregate performance and 17+ points per game with increased target ceiling.
