Off-the-cuff opinions from random guys on the internet are not the best foundation for creating Half-PPR Superflex 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 |  | 1.11 | 7 | 21.1 | 106.9 | 408 | 681 | 1361 | 22 | 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. We like Loveland’s landing spot alongside QB Caleb Williams and HC Ben Johnson. Note that the Bears can move on from Cole Kmet’s contract... Show More » | ||
| 2 |  | 1.08 | 14 | 23.0 | 116.5 | 377 | 634 | 1222 | 19 | In 2024, Warren was the Nittany Lions’ leading receiver with 104 catches for 1,233 yards and 8 TDs. He has a massive 6’6, 261-pound frame with the typical Penn State top-tier athleticism. Add in monster in-line blocking, and Warren projects as an impact rookie for the Colts. QB play might cap his short-term ceiling, though. Indy will roll into the season with Anthony Richardson and Daniel Jones. | ||
| 3 |  | 3.04 | 10 | 22.1 | 77.9 | 315 | 571 | 1127 | 12 | Arroyo joined an open situation in Seattle, which needs playmakers after trading D.K. Metcalf and releasing Tyler Lockett. His athleticism should make him a target hog for the Seahawks and new QB Sam Darnold. Arroyo has a bright long-term outlook with weekly TE1 upside. | ||
| 4 |  | 2.10 | 12 | 21.0 | 93.8 | 305 | 552 | 1154 | 12 | Taylor should slide into the starting role for the Jets immediately, potentially as the number two option after Garrett Wilson. His soft hands and red zone ability give Taylor a solid floor alongside QB Justin Fields. | ||
| 5 |  | 3.06 | 6 | 22.2 | 67.8 | 293 | 538 | 1046 | 9 | Ferguson rose up draft boards late due to his athleticism and final year of film. He fits the Rams as a potential slot option who can run the Stick route. He has a path to starting immediately, depending on the health of Tyler Higbee. He could be a solid TE2 over the long term as the likely starter for the Rams. | ||
| 6 |  | 3.07 | 10 | 20.8 | 56.8 | 286 | 526 | 1087 | 8 | With David Njoku only having one year left on his deal, Fannin will likely be developed to become the starting TE for the Browns in a year. He broke every college football TE record and has a natural feel for catching the ball. As a long-term investment, he could pay dividends. | ||
| 7 |  | 5.11 | 5 | 21.9 | 38.6 | 276 | 507 | 985 | 6 | The son of the former Miami Dolphins’ WR, Gadsden II is the ultimate tweener prospect. He is too big to be a WR, but not quite built enough to be an in-line TE. Gadsden landed in a promising spot without a long-term TE -- and alongside Justin Herbert. | ||
| 8 |  | 4.11 | 5 | 22.7 | 37.9 | 263 | 483 | 940 | 4 | Helm broke out in his final season for Texas, catching seven TDs as a rare downfield H-Back. His soft hands could help make him a fantasy spot-starter within a couple of seasons. | ||
| 9 |  | 42.11 | 14 | 23.9 | 16.5 | 131 | 211 | 379 | -16 | In 2022, Lachey tallied 28-398-4 alongside Sam LaPorta. Lachey ranked third among Hawkeyes in catches, second in yards, and first in TDs. A setback hit in 2023, as he suffered an ankle injury that required surgery. Note that Lachey totaled 10-131 in less than three full games prior to the injury. His production failed to rebound last fall, but teams should remain interested in Lachey based off the 2022 tape. Consider him a developmental TE with... Show More » | ||
| 10 |  | 6.01 | 11 | 22.2 | 30.9 | 112 | 206 | 401 | -16 | A torn ACL cut a promising 2023 season short for Evans, who was building buzz for the NFL Draft. The in-line two-way TE came back strong in 2024, but lost a bit of a step. His toughness and intelligence shine through, especially when high-pointing passes or finding holes in the zone. Evans' best days may be yet to come. | ||
| 11 |  | 32.09 | 12 | 24.5 | 14.4 | 115 | 186 | 334 | -18 | In 2024, Simon led a run-heavy South Carolina team in all major receiving categories. He saw just 4.5 targets per game. A productive end to the season gave way to an impressive Combine. Simon really impressed in the jumps, leading to an 8.55 Relative Athletic Score. His undrafted status makes him a long shot. Still, Atlanta could have a TE opening if/when Kyle Pitts moves on next year. | ||
| 12 |  | 37.03 | 6 | 22.4 | 13.6 | 95 | 175 | 340 | -18 | Clemson’s offense finally took off, which translated to Briningstool as the primary red zone target. (He racked up 7 TDs.) His two-way ability is similar to Jake Ferguson, so it was a surprise to see Briningstool go undrafted. Consider him a deep sleeper in K.C. | ||
| 13 |  | 25.06 | 14 | 23.1 | 0 | 101 | 186 | 362 | -18 | Dippre transferred out of Maryland ahead of the 2023 season. He chose Alabama over Ohio State in the transfer portal, although big time production never followed (32 catches, 441 yards, and 0 TDs over the past two seasons). Dippre ultimately checks boxes for size and play strength. After a solid Combine, he should start out as a depth piece. | ||
| 14 |  | 43.08 | 11 | 22.7 | 10.5 | 101 | 171 | 319 | -19 | Fidone scored four TDs on only 25 catches in 2023. But he wasn’t featured for a Nebraska team that leaned on the run. The Cornhuskers passed more in 2024, helping Fidone set career highs in catches (36), yards (373), and yards per route run (1.41). Ultimately, he brings NFL-caliber length and athleticism. We’re simply working with a limited college sample here. | ||
| 15 |  | 47.01 | 12 | 24.5 | 15 | 86 | 147 | 273 | -21 | A Yale transfer to Georgia Tech, Hawes is a blocking specialist with his best game against the Georgia Bulldogs. He is tough to bring down in space, and the Yellow Jackets utilized that late in the year. Hawes may end up a better pro than college player and could end up as a red zone threat. | ||
| 16 |  | 44.08 | 6 | 22.1 | 10.9 | 67 | 123 | 239 | -22 | Bartholomew brings a catch-first skill set at 6’5, 246 pounds. He’ll have time to sit and develop behind veterans T.J. Hockenson and Josh Oliver. | ||
| 17 |  | 7.01 | 12 | 22.2 | 11 | 69 | 127 | 247 | -22 | Matavao transferred out of Oregon after two unproductive seasons. He played behind fellow TE prospect Terrace Ferguson in both seasons. Greener pastures arrived at UCLA, but not until his senior year. Matavao held a narrow team lead in catches (41) and paced the squad in yards (506). The 6’6, 260-pounder split his time fairly evenly as a slot, in-line, and out wide player. He impressed with the ball in his hands, notching 7.8 yards after catch... Show More » | ||
| 18 |  | 42.04 | 14 | 24.4 | 16.5 | 51 | 83 | 149 | -25 | Lohner is a converted basketball player with only 4 catches (and 4 TDs) at Utah. He's a major project for HC Sean Payton. | ||
| 19 | | 28.08 | 6 | 22.6 | 0 | 42 | 71 | 132 | -26 | At 6’5, 238 pounds, Nesbit is essentially a supersized WR. He’s a deep name to watch after joining the Vikings as a UDFA. | ||
| 20 | | 47.03 | 10 | 22.7 | 10.2 | 36 | 61 | 114 | -27 | Ouzts went in the 5th round and projects as a blocking TE at 274 pounds. Seattle used a Round 2 pick on highly athletic TE Elijah Arroyo. | ||
