Simpson was selected by the Rams at No. 13 overall and sits firmly in a developmental spot behind Matthew Stafford. He put together a steady preseason, showing sharp footwork and an ability to make off-platform throws. Rams coaching has a clear long-term plan for him, making him a prime dynasty target even if redraft value is nonexistent early on.PositiveValueJul 28, 2026
Simpson is a safe first-round dynasty rookie pick in superflex formats despite often falling past the sixth pick. Like Mendoza, he lacks immediate starter pressure and has first-round NFL investment from the Los Angeles Rams, creating insulated value for at least a year. The source emphasizes that every quarterback taken in the first round in the past five years gained value regardless of actual play. For teams maximizing value and maintaining flexibility—whether as trade bait or as the Rams' starter in 2027 or beyond—Simpson offers reliable floor value despite not being at the top of lists for immediate points.PositiveValueJul 28, 2026

ADP of 129.3; just landed in one of NFL's best offensive environments with LA Rams; however, may not make sense on veteran team intending to win immediately; better suited for productive-struggle builds around young players securing early draft capital.
