Find Your Next Fantasy Stud in These 2026 Devy Rankings

Boost Your Dynasty Experience with Devy Rankings

How much do you know about Jeremiah Smith? Malachi Toney? Tristen Keys?

All three of these guys look likely to become factors in your dynasty league at some point. The only question is when.

No matter what type of league you're in, you'll want to learn about the players in the devy rankings below.

Play in a devy league? Then you'll want to get familiar real quick.

What Is Devy?

“Devy” stands for “Developmental."

In a regular dynasty league, drafted players start scoring points as soon as the season begins. In a devy league, you draft college players and then watch their development until they hit the pros.

You know the excitement of hitting on a sleeper pick in your rookie draft? Devy amplifies that by getting you in on the player even earlier.

And you don't need to be a professional scout or spend all your free time watching tape to succeed at devy.

Our devy rankings will help.

Devy Rankings Help Your Dynasty Play, Too

The main difference between devy formats and more standard dynasty setups is simply getting to know -- and rostering -- the players earlier.

If you play in a devy league that has already drafted, then you can use these rankings to assign value to players on your roster and others. Consider making trade offers to chase some higher-ranked players.

Even if you don’t play devy, these rankings can help you get familiar with upcoming classes ahead of your dynasty rookie drafts.

Improve Your Position in Future Rookie Drafts

For example, 2027 looks bereft of RB talent. So you'll find 2027 RBs lower than usual in these rankings. And you shouldn't plan on landing a cornerstone RB in your rookie draft for that year.

WR, on the other hand, looks very strong  in 2027.

See these future keepers while you use our keeper rankings to decide on your current roster.

Use this to trade your rookie picks accordingly and know what positions you may be able to load up on in future years. 

Devy Rankings Are About Draft Capital

Before we hop into our devy rankings, let's talk about the goal of devy.

You aren't necessarily trying to get the best talents (though it helps). 

Getting players who will go high in the NFL Draft should be the primary goal.

Don't like a player but an NFL team is willing to take him in on Day 1 or 2 of the NFL Draft? Then you want them in devy.

You can always trade players later to maximize your value and get the talents YOU want.

2026 Devy Rankings

1. Jeremiah Smith, WR, Ohio State (2027)

Smith will challenge to be the best WR prospect since I have started scouting in 2004. His size, speed, and ball skills are elite. He has been the best player in college football since entering at 18. 

Expect Smith to have a Julio Jones-type NFL impact immediately. 

2. Malachi Toney, WR, Miami (2028)

Toney (no relation to Kadarius) was the Hurricanes’ top weapon on their path to the National Championship game. He is a jack-of-all-trades gadget WR who has elite speed and quickness from the slot. Utilized as a WR, RB, and even QB at times, he could be a Percy Harvin-type of NFL player.

3. Chris Henry Jr, WR, Ohio State (2029)

Get the next Ohio State WR ticket, the son of former NFL WR Chris Henry. Henry Jr. is even bigger than his Dad coming in at 6’5 and 201 pounds. His size and wingspan make him a dangerous contested catcher with enough athleticism to beat top college CBs early.

He should be the next in line of Buckeye first-round WRs. 

4. Arch Manning, QB, Texas (2027)

Manning had a volatile second year. After struggling for the first half of the season, he lit up the second half and nearly brought Texas into the College Football Playoff. 

Ultimately, the nephew of Peyton and Eli has the mobility to be a dangerous runner while also showcasing good arm strength and touch. He is slated to be the top QB for 2027.

5. Dante Moore, QB, Oregon (2027)

Moore may have been a top-five pick had he declared in 2026, but an extra year in college should help Moore be ready for the NFL.

He offers some scrambling ability and a really tight spiral throwing to the middle of the field. The physical tools are there for Moore to be an immediate starting QB in the NFL.

6. Dakorien Moore, WR, Oregon (2028)

Moore had a solid freshman season, going 34-497-3. Oregon continues bringing in additional WRs, which could hinder Moore’s output. 

But the size, speed, and athleticism from Moore will make him an instant NFL contributor. Trust the traits. 

7. Kewan Lacy, RB, Ole Miss (2027)

Lacy took over the Ole Miss backfield and showcased his homerun ability. He explodes off the snap and showed shiftiness in open space.

Add great hands and receiving upside, and he could be the top RB in the 2027 class.

8. Cam Coleman, WR, Texas (2027)

Coleman transferred from Auburn to Texas and could slide into the top WR spot for Arch Manning and the Longhorns. An elite athlete with good side, the best of Coleman could be yet to come.

9. Tristen Keys, WR, Tennessee (2029)

Keys initially committed to LSU but switched to Tennessee after Brian Kelly was fired.

Another stellar incoming freshman, Keys was unrecoverable in high school and should step in as the top WR for the Volunteers immediately.

10. Ahmad Hardy, RB, Missouri (2027)

Hardy transferred from Louisiana-Monroe to Missouri and dominated the SEC in 2026.

He went 256-1649-16 on the ground with power and explosiveness. With a low pad level, Hardy showed he can stand up to the best defenders in the country.

Hardy’s lack of receiving upside could limit him in fantasy, but he should be a top-50 NFL Draft pick.

11. Jadan Baugh, RB, Florida (2027)

Baugh is an incredible athlete who hits the line quickly and uses sharp footwork to avoid direct hits. He is staying in Florida despite a coaching change and should be the lead back once again.

Baugh has top-50 NFL Draft upside. 

12. Charlie Becker, WR, Indiana (2027)

Becker flashed with insane catch points and great ball control for Indiana last season. Now he profiles as the top WR on the team with enough athletic ability to be a first round NFL Draft pick.

He certainly was the biggest devy riser in 2025.

13. Julian Sayin, QB, Ohio State (2027)

Sayin contended for the Heisman Trophy, but lost to Fernando Mendoza after Indiana won the Big Ten. 

Sayin is a cerebral QB who can place the ball anywhere on the field. With suitable arm strength and good pocket awareness, Sayin has elite QB traits (though he won’t scramble much). 

Having the best WRs in the country certainly didn’t hurt either. He should be a top pick in the 2027 draft.

14. Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele, QB, Cal (2028)

Sagapolutele started as a true freshman and flashed with a huge arm and an ability to extend plays. At 6’3, 225 pounds, he looks like Ben Roethlisberger with defenders bouncing off as Sagapolutele keeping his eyes downfield.

The lack of rushing hurts for fantasy purposes, but the upside as a passer is worth the risk.

15. Bryant Wesco, WR, Clemson (2027)

Wesco took a step back with the struggling Clemson offense, but he still went 31-537-6 on the season. With a new QB coming in, Wesco should perk back up in 2026 and could still contend to be selected in the first round of the 2027 draft.

16. Bo Jackson, RB, Ohio State (2028)

Jackson (no relation to the legendary Bo) wrestled the starting job away from James Peoples and CJ Donaldson as a true freshman. He flashed great vision and short area quickness to evade defenders.

He will be a starter over the next two seasons for the Buckeyes and potentially be the top RB in 2028.

17. Ryan Coleman-Williams, WR, Alabama (2027)

Williams took a step back in his second season, especially in terms of drops. The slot WR still offers Malik Nabers upside. His first step off the line and after catch ability makes him a top devy prospect still.

18. Keelon Russell, QB, Alabama (2028)

Russell will take over for Ty Simpson in 2026. Russell boasts Jayden Daniels type rushing ability with great high school passing production.

Taking a shot on a five-star Alabama QB is always worth it.

19. LaNorris Sellers, QB, South Carolina (2027)

Sellers surprisingly went back to South Carolina, but he will have a new offense to work with in 2026. His athletic upside makes him super intriguing for fantasy and worth risking in devy drafts.

20. CJ Carr, QB, Notre Dame (2027)

Carr played fine last season throwing for 2,741 yards with 24 TDs and 6 INTs. He still lacks the polish and arm strength to really be dynamic.

Carr’s easy schedule this season could lead to inflated draft capital, but he is worth flipping if the hype and buzz grow.

21. Nick Marsh, WR, Indiana (2027)
22. Isaac Brown, RB, Louisville (2027)
23. Darian Mensah, QB, Miami (2027)
