Off-the-cuff opinions from random guys on the internet are not the best foundation for creating Non-PPR Superflex rookie Rankings. You wouldn’t buy a house with a cracked or leaking basement, would you? No! The foundation for anything is critical.
At Draft Sharks, our Dynasty Rankings are based on data—a lot of it. We start with a player's baseline, a weighted average of this year’s projection, and their last two seasons. Then we use 3-year, 5-year, and 10-year fantasy forecasted output. This isn't guesswork. Our process has been built using machine learning for all NFL data since 1999. We determine this output using scientifically-sound performance aging curves and retirement rates. And these numbers are specific to both positional groups and archetypes of players. These are the smartest fantasy football projections on the market. Period.
3D values+ then apply a weighted average of those 1-,3-,5- and 10-year projections and a cross-positional algorithm based on your exact league setup and scoring. The results are an unparalleled single (true) value you can use universally on the site. That means you can use these values for ranking in the preseason, regular season, and trade valuations.
Ready to go for the gold? In the Draft War Room you can adjust the weighting even heavier toward year-one projection in "Win Now" mode.
Player | ADP | Bye | Age | 1yr. Proj | 3yr. Proj | 5yr. Proj | 10yr. Proj | 3D Value+ | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | 1.01 | N/A | 21.3 | 231.7 | 692 | 1154 | 2106 | 55 | Jeanty went from a 1,900 total yard sophomore season to a 2,700 total yard junior season. He boasts elite contact balance and works through contact as well as any prospect since Bijan Robinson. Jeanty showed high-end receiving ability in his second year, too. He should be a top-20 NFL Draft pick and an instant fantasy RB1. | |||
2 | 1.02 | N/A | 22.0 | 144.2 | 420 | 712 | 1388 | 27 | McMillan has two straight years of 1,300+ yards and 8+ TDs. At a lanky 6’5 and 212 pounds, McMillan has an X WR skillset. He has great deep speed, but still has the footwork and route tree to freeze defenders. With long arms and a good catch radius, he has tremendous NFL and fantasy upside. | |||
3 | 1.03 | N/A | 22.9 | 273 | 785 | 1333 | 2637 | 25 | Ward had a long path from Incarnate Word to Washington State to Miami on the way to becoming a top QB in this draft class. He improved at each step, throwing for 4,313 yards, 39 TDs, and seven INTs for the Hurricanes. Ward showed the ability to extend plays and make accurate throws all over the field. He can also scramble at times, adding potential fantasy value. A future top-five pick, Ward has starting fantasy upside in the right situation. | |||
4 | 1.04 | N/A | 22.1 | 187.5 | 462 | 725 | 1227 | 25 | Hampton has carried the North Carolina offense for two years (including when Drake Maye was the QB). He had two straight years of 1,500+ rushing yards and 15 TDs and brings solid receiving potential. A shifty runner who can hit the home run, Hampton showed his athleticism by crushing the Combine with a 4.48 40-yard Dash and 38" vertical. Hampton has lead-back potential in a zone scheme and has a shot at going in Round 1. | |||
5 | 1.08 | N/A | 22.5 | 122.4 | 373 | 624 | 1216 | 20 | Egbuka went back for his senior year to chase a National Championship and caught 70 passes for 896 yards and 10 TDs. He is an ideal NFL slot WR with a quick first step and clean routes to turn slants and drags into big gains. A potential PPR volume receiving option at the next level. | |||
6 | 1.07 | N/A | 21.3 | 114.2 | 371 | 634 | 1256 | 20 | Burden was a five-star recruit but never maximized his potential at Missouri. He tallied 1,212 receiving yards and 9 TDs as a sophomore but fell back to only 676 yards and 6 TDs this year as the entire offense regressed. Burden's 4.41 40-yard dash at the Combine was expected. If Burden shows he can do more than simple screens/quick hitters, he could play as a slot or flanker in the NFL. | |||
7 | 2.05 | N/A | 21.7 | 112.2 | 357 | 605 | 1163 | 18 | Golden was a surprising four-star commit to Houston where he showcased deep threat talent. Moving to Texas this past season unleashed his potential with 58 catches for 987 yards and nine TDs. He also was the fastest WR at the NFL Combine with a 4.29 40-yard dash. | |||
8 | 1.05 | N/A | 22.4 | 144.8 | 402 | 645 | 1102 | 18 | Henderson was highly recruited and is insanely explosive when given space. He also shows elite receiving ability but doesn't break through contact. Henderson may be more of a third-down receiving back in the NFL. He ran as expected at the Combine with a 4.43 40-yard dash and tied for second among RBs with a 1.52 10-yard split. He has intriguing PPR upside and there is some buzz that he may be more of a lead back than he was in college. | |||
9 | 1.10 | N/A | 23.2 | 240.7 | 757 | 1291 | 2566 | 17 | Sanders followed his father, Deion, from Jackson State to Colorado, drawing rave reviews for his ability to throw off platforms down the field. Having a weapon like Travis Hunter certainly helped, but when Sanders is hot, he can chain together deep throws. He threw for 4,134 yards, 37 TDs, and 10 INTs this year and still has room to grow. One major frustration is Sanders’ reliance on holding the ball too long and taking sacks. Even so, he could... Show More » | |||
10 | 1.06 | N/A | 22.9 | 89.4 | 288 | 485 | 934 | 17 | In 2024, Warren was the Nittany Lion’s leading receiver with 104 catches for 1,233 yards and 8 TDs. He has a big 6’6, 261-pound frame with the typical Penn State top-tier athleticism. Add in monster in-line blocking, and Warren could be a year-one weapon in the NFL. | |||
11 | 1.09 | N/A | 21.4 | 155.9 | 374 | 621 | 1105 | 17 | A super early breakout (1,500 true-freshman rushing yards), Judkins dominated at Mississippi before transferring to Ohio State. Unfortunately, O-line injuries and sharing the backfield with TreVeyon Henderson led to less than 1,000 rushing yards in his junior season. Judkins answered questions about his athleticism with a 4.48 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine and tied for second among RBs with a 1.52 10-yard split. He looks like a future lead... Show More » | |||
12 | 2.02 | N/A | 21.9 | 176.4 | 722 | 1231 | 2485 | 16 | Dart flashed his arm talent as a true freshman at USC, but he was fully unlocked this past year at Ole Miss. He completed 69.3% of his passes this season for 4,279 yards, 29 TDs and 6 INTs. With a quick release and improvement reading defenses, Dart is a potential Day 2 QB with starting upside. He also adds a bit of mobility to take off and run at times. Outside of injury concerns, Dart is a legit sleeper. | |||
13 | 1.11 | N/A | 20.6 | 165.4 | 368 | 593 | 1047 | 16 | Johnson is the typical Hawkeye RB who grinds between the tackles while churning his feet to always pick up additional yardage. He has excellent vision and stays balanced on indirect contact. Johnson has a nose for the end zone and rarely goes backward, even when the O-line misses blocks. He is an underrated receiver as well. He ran an expected 4.57 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine, but lost ground to others in the class who performed above... Show More » | |||
14 | 2.01 | N/A | 21.0 | 86.2 | 262 | 451 | 916 | 15 | Loveland had an injury-filled 2024, dealing with a shoulder and another undisclosed injury. With Michigan’s offensive issues, Loveland was still their leading receiver with 56 catches for 582 yards and five TDs. His awareness and quick feet make him dangerous against zone coverage, reminiscent of Travis Kelce. Round 1 draft capital is a near lock. | |||
15 | 2.12 | N/A | 21.8 | 94.7 | 303 | 512 | 985 | 13 | A beacon of talent on an awful football team, Ayomanor sports perhaps the best body control in the class. He is built on highlight catches and physically boxing out defenders to keep position. The overall athleticism is there, but he struggles with concentration drops that will need cleaned up. He had a solid NFL Combine running a 4.44 40-yard dash, though he had the slowest 10-yard split among WRs at 1.58. | |||
16 | 2.04 | N/A | 23.1 | 91.1 | 302 | 503 | 934 | 12 | Harris did all the dirty work for Mississippi, running from both the slot and outside with crisp routes and excellent catch technique. He is built on quickness more than speed, as his 4.54 40-yard dash time shows. He should contribute immediately in the NFL with a near-full route tree and 1,030 receiving yards in only eight games last year. | |||
17 | 1.12 | N/A | 21.9 | 79.4 | 285 | 482 | 927 | 11 | Hunter is an enigma for fantasy managers. A likely top-three NFL Draft pick, most NFL GMs have indicated that Hunter would be primarily a CB with 10-20 snaps on offense at receiver. If that is the case, the Heisman Winner won’t be a consistent fantasy scorer. But Hunter showed elite receiver ability last year, catching 96 passes for 1,258 yards and 15 TDs while also playing full-time on defense. If he does play as a primary WR, Hunter could be a...

18 | 4.03 | N/A | 22.3 | 87.5 | 278 | 469 | 933 | 11 | Higgins represents the ideal X WR standing at 6'4 and 217 pounds. He is great at getting off the jam and contact; he caught 87 passes for 1,183 yards and 9 TDs this year. Higgins turned heads at the Senior Bowl and NFL Combine, where he ran a 4.47 40-yard dash along with a 39" Vertical and 10'08 Broad Jump. He could develop into a WR1/2 for an NFL team. | |||
19 | 2.07 | N/A | 21.1 | 78.5 | 264 | 451 | 893 | 10 | Bond spent his first two years at Alabama -- where he broke out -- and then transferred to Texas. An injury-filled 2024 resulted in only 33 catches for 532 yards and 5 TDs. Despite never having a 700-yard receiving season, Bond’s athleticism makes him a potential NFL starter. He was expected to run in the 4.2s at the NFL Combine, but only mustered a 4.40. Bond is more risky than many other WR prospects in this class. | |||
20 | 4.01 | N/A | 22.1 | 81.6 | 252 | 426 | 820 | 9 | Royals will be the top G5 WR following Malachi Corley (2024) and Rashee Rice (2023). He has Rice's talent as a raw route runner whose athleticism and explosion do most of the work. Royals had 554 yards receiving and four TDs in his last three games combined. There's plenty of upside here, and day two draft capital is likely. | |||
