Tier 2
1	Jeremiyah Love J Love RK RB3	2.04	18	20.8	259	708	1,178	2,204	Love has been a force, posting back-to-back 1,100-yard rushing seasons with 35 total rushing TDs. His contact balance and power rank among the best RB traits in recent draft classes, and his profile stacks up favorably with Ashton Jeanty’s. That’s especially impressive given Jadarian Price’s presence as another top back in this class. Love brings true three-down upside and will be just 21 years old as a rookie.	81

3	Makai Lemon M Lemon RK WR19	5.01	18	21.8	210	613	1,039	2,026	Lemon may be the best contested catcher in the draft despite standing 5'11, 195 pounds. He was utilized in the slot and outside at USC on his way to winning the Biletnikoff Award in 2025. Lemon's ball tracking and explosiveness after the catch make him a dangerous weapon. They also signal an impactful PPR WR for fantasy, especially with expected Round 1 draft capital.	35

4	Carnell Tate C Tate RK WR21	4.05	18	21.2	203	601	1,027	2,068	He took a backseat to Ohio State phenom Jeremiah Smith, but Tate flashed elite hand-eye coordination and hands last season. Tate knows how to beat the press and isn't afraid to make tough catches over the middle. His height and range make Tate a potential top-15 NFL Draft pick who can immediately make a fantasy impact.	34

Tier 6
5	Jordyn Tyson J Tyson RK WR26	5.12	18	21.6	198	593	1,013	2,039	Tyson excelled at Arizona State in 2024, notching 74 catches for 1,101 yards and 10 TDs. He looked headed for another big year in 2025 after scoring 7 TDs in five games, but a hamstring injury ruined those plans. That setback adds to an extensive injury history that includes a torn ACL, PCL, and MCL in 2022, plus a broken collarbone in 2024. When healthy, Tyson shows good size, runs well enough to separate, and creates after the catch. That combination gives him top-20 potential in the NFL Draft.	32

7	Kenyon Sadiq K Sadiq RK TE7	6.12	18	21	142	497	856	1,737	Sadiq is an elite athlete who uses his footwork and leaping ability to get open and make catches. He is extremely tough to cover and can box out when contested. He led the Ducks in receptions this year despite numerous drops. Sadiq may not add much as a blocking presence, but he could be a top-15 pick with his ability as a receiver.	24

His body control and hands led him to being a major target for Heisman QB Fernano Mendoza, especially in the red zone. Cooper profiles as an NFL contributor, even if he doesn't have the speed to be a No. 1.	22

11	KC Concepcion K Concepcion RK WR32	7.05	18	21.5	174	518	884	1,750	Concepcion flashed at NC State but really came into his own at Texas A&M this year. He went 61-919-9 as a receiver. Concepcion also ran 10 times for 75 yards and a TD. He also is an elite returner who had two TDs this year. Concepcion is a Percy Harvin-level weapon who may end up being a high-end offensive weapon. His role and team will be key, but Concepcion has plenty fantasy upside if he is a first round pick.	21

12	Jadarian Price J Price RK RB24	8.04	18	22.4	146	369	605	929	Price is a straightforward power runner who has a third gear for long TDs. He ran for 674 yards and 11 TDs this year while playing behind teammate Jeremiyah Love. Price's agility and ability to work through contact could make him an NFL starter. Price may be a better receiver than his numbers indicate, too.	18

He displays a strong arm and great mid-range accuracy while showing toughness in the pocket. Mendoza can scramble some too, which should help his fantasy output. He lacks the upside of recent top QBs like Caleb Williams, but Mendoza has the potential to be a top-10 fantasy QB.	17

14	Denzel Boston D Boston RK WR45	9.03	18	22.3	174	495	839	1,636	Boston sat behind the trio of Rome Odunze, Ja'Lynn Polk, and Jalen McMillan in 2023, but the 6'4, 210-pound WR flashed in 2024. He had his best season this year as an X WR, going 63-834-9 on a Huskies team that prioritized the run. Boston is a unique WR in this class with his size, and he should have good workouts too. Expect him to be a top-50 pick.	17

16	Jonah Coleman J Coleman RK RB29	11.03	18	22.6	144	348	548	771	Coleman scored 17 total TDs this season as the focal point of the Washington offense. He is on the shorter end, but at 220 pounds, Coleman is a punishing rusher with a low pad level. He is also a strong receiver for his size. Coleman didn't test at the Combine, but nobody will mistake him for a burner. Round 3 draft capital would be a nice outcome here.	13

17	Mike Washington Jr. M Washington Jr. RK RB31	10.12	18	22.7	109	330	525	931	Washington finally broke out in his final season after transferring from Buffalo to Arkansas. He is a big, between-the-tackles back who churns his legs to pick up extra yards on every run. He showcased good vision and cutback ability, but didn't display much big-play upside. There's a chance he gets into Round 3 of the NFL Draft.	13

18	Emmett Johnson E Johnson RK RB32	12.12	18	22.4	116	338	549	833	Johnson was a 2026 surprise. He ran for 1,451 yards and 12 TDs, averaging 5.78 yards per carry. He has also caught 85 passes over the last two years. Johnson can be a PPR difference maker with his pass-catching and shiftiness in the open field. He weighed in at just 202 pounds at the NFL Combine, but Johnson can be a lead back in the right offense.	12

21	Eli Stowers E Stowers RK TE14	10.11	18	22.9	113	387	660	1,227	Stowers is a former QB converted to TE. He will be more slot WR than TE, sitting at 6'4, 235 pounds. He led Vanderbilt with 62 catches last year and was a reliable option for QB Diego Pavia. Stowers has elite explosiveness and short-area quickness, and that was reflected in his excellent Combine performance. He should sneak into Day 2 and become an impact fantasy player with enough playing time.	11

He is a hefty 220 pounds and can box out defenders to make contested catches. He went 72-917-6 last season, including a dominant 9-136-2 game against Miami. Bell profiles as a No. 2 WR in the NFL who can flash for some big games.	10

23	Elijah Sarratt E Sarratt RK WR61	12.07	18	22.8	133	453	767	1,469	Sarratt flashed in 2024 going 53-957-8. He missed a few games due to a hamstring injury, but he did score 13 TDs in 2025 with Fernando Mendoza at QB. Sarratt has high-end size at 6'2, 213 pounds. His high pointing is among the best in the class. Sarratt should be a consistent NFL WR though he may never be the top weapon for a team.	10

He went 62-1017-9, often working downfield. His rare blend of height and speed gives Brazzell plenty of upside, but he lacks the nuanced route running and can short-arm catches. Brazzell has a high ceiling and a low floor.	9

25	Zachariah Branch Z Branch RK WR65	13.05	18	22	132	443	750	1,442	Branch is an intriguing prospect. The former five-star recruit is a jack-of-all-trades at 5'10, 180 pounds. He flashed at USC but transferred to Georgia to have his best season yet. Branch went 81-811-6 for the Dawgs. He also is one of the best returners in the country. Elite speed and explosiveness could make Branch a great weapon, though his size may limit how much he is utilized as a top offensive threat.	8
