2026 Rookie TIERS List. Dynasty SF TEP edition. Jones takes. 🤝

Tier 1: Generational / Franchise Star QB

💎Jeremiyah Love
💎Fernando Mendoza

RBs drafted top 5 have a 85% chance of producing atleast one RB1 season with a 60% chance of producing a top 5 season historically since 2000. 👀

Jeremiyah Love will be a GENERATIONAL player for the next ten years putting the Cardinals on the map.

Fernando Mendoza may have one of the most elite mindsets we have ever seen along with being directly mentored by Tom Brady. That’s two of the best qualities you can ask for in a QB1 along with being a true champion as proved in college. 📈

Tier 2: ELITE

⚡️Jordyn Tyson
⚡️Carnell Tate
⚡️Makai Lemon

I look at these three as unbustable. The only thing that could slow these elite prospects down is injuries early on in their career. These players are almost guarenteed to carve out some sort of a pivotal role in their respective offense at some point in their career. 📈

No one is unbustable 100% but these three come pretty darn close. 💯

Tier 3: High Ceiling Prospects

🔥Jadarian Price
🔥Ty Simpson
🔥KC Conception
🔥Denzel Boston
🔥Eli Stowers
🔥Kenyon Sadiq

This next tier of players all have outstanding profiles, however have a limiting factor that can cause worry. This could include a RB to share the backfield with, a QB/TE that is unknown how long they will be playing, or an offensive system being fantasy viable. 🧐

Tier 4: High Potential with Risk

💣Omar Cooper Jr.
💣Germie Bernard
💣Jonah Coleman
💣Chris Bell
💣Antonio Williams
💣Malachi Fields

This next tier of guys all look to get run their rookie year, however what they do with that run in terms of production will greatly impact their fantasy ceiling and role on their team moving forward. I could see many of the players in their tier carving out a WR2 or RB2 role on their team, however if they fail to push the veterans in front of them could also result in a big goose egg. 🤯

Tier 5: Potential Starters

🤫Zachariah Branch
🤫Ted Hurst
🤫Carson Beck
🤫Max Klare
🤫Demond Claiborne
🤫Eli Raridon
🤫Oscar Delp
🤫Emmett Johnson
🤫Skyler Bell

This tier to me looks like a lot of boom or bust players that will need help in their situation to produce in their fantasy environment. If that means time, injuries, or an electric camp, these guys will need help to get consistent production and be a worthwhile second/third draft pick. 😤

Tier 6: Officially Worried

🫡Nicholas Singleton
🫡Elijah Sarratt
🫡Mike Washington
🫡Ja’Kobe Lane
🫡Chris Brazell
🫡De’Zhaun Stribling
🫡Kaytron Allen

This tier of players all have a skill issue in their prospect profile and am worried about their ability to get on the field in year 1. These could be long term plays or handcuffs that could be fantasy relevant if the perfect situation arises. Most of these guys I am fading per ADP. 🤝

Tier 7: Dynasty Sleepers

😴 Cyrus Allen
😴 Tanner Koziol
😴 Caleb Douglas
😴 Kevin Coleman
😴 Kaelon Black
😴 Seth McGowan
😴 Eli Heidenreich
😴 Zavion Thomas
😴 Matt Hibner
😴 Justin Joly

Straight dart throws. Take your pick. All could be hero’s or zeros. These can be league winners if they pan out.

Jones. 🤝
