2025 Dynasty Rookie Rankings

Updated on Mon, 15 Dec 2025

These Dynasty Rookie Rankings aren’t like any other you’ll find. Why? Because of how we build them.

The Draft Sharks staff doesn’t just slot the players in the order we think they belong. These rankings are built on actual, award-winning projections.

We combine those 2025 projections with two decades of NFL research – as well as a series of machine-learning models – to build out three-year, five-year, and 10-year projections for every player.

We use research-based aging curves and expected retirement rates to turn those projections into 3D+ Values that present the clearest picture of a player’s dynasty outlook you’ll find anywhere.

1	Cameron Ward C Ward TEN QB22	N/A	10	23.5	224	770	1,307	2,586	Ward’s college journey took him from Incarnate Word to Washington State to Miami. The top pick improved at each stop, throwing for 4,313 yards, 39 TDs, and seven INTs for the Hurricanes in 2024. 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. He’ll be a day 1 starter in Tennessee, but expect him to perform as a fantasy QB2 in ‘25. Longer-term, there’s a top-ten ceiling	0

2	Jaxson Dart J Dart NYG QB11	N/A	14	22.6	206	809	1,380	2,785	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 for 4,279 yards, 29 TDs, and 6 INTs. With a quick release and improved coverage recognition, Dart showed the potential to stick as an NFL starter. He also adds enough mobility to make a fantasy impact. The Giants offer a shot at starting at some point in 2025, but Dart’s rookie year figures to be a developmental one	0

3	Ashton Jeanty A Jeanty LVR RB4	N/A	8	22	191	581	958	1,672	Jeanty went from a 1,900 total yard sophomore season to a 2,700 total yard junior season. He boasts elite contact balance, burst, and receiving ability. Jeanty’s landing spot in Vegas should support some massive workloads over the next few seasons.	0

4	Quinshon Judkins Q Judkins CLE RB7	N/A	9	22.1	166	534	838	1,419	Judkins has a chance to become an immediate three-down back. He 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. We’ll see how he works alongside Round 4 RB Dylan Sampson	0

5	TreVeyon Henderson T Henderson NE RB12	N/A	14	23.1	153	445	703	1,160	Henderson was highly recruited and is insanely explosive when given space. He also shows elite receiving ability but doesn't regularly break through contact. 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. Henderson projects as an upside PPR back and should eventually see the lion’s share of the rushing work in New England	0

6	Emeka Egbuka E Egbuka TB WR14	N/A	9	23.2	151	414	730	1,452	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. While the Round 1 draft capital was nice, the Bucs don’t supply a clear landing spot for meaningful short-term targets. Mike Evans returns for 2025, Note that Evans is only under contract for one more season.	0

7	Tetairoa McMillan T McMillan CAR WR11	N/A	14	22.7	145	466	789	1,540	At Arizona, McMillan tallied two straight years of 1,300+ yards and 8+ TDs. He brings a clear X WR skill set at 6’5, 212 pounds. He supplies some deep speed but still has the footwork and route tree to freeze defenders. With long arms and a good catch radius, McMillan boasts tremendous fantasy upside. The Carolina landing spot supplies a path to WR1 targets within a couple of seasons.	0

He is an average athlete, but ran a ton of routes at both Mississippi State and USC. He could develop into a deep-league PPR option – and the Joe Mixon handcuff – as early as 2025.	0

11	Tyler Warren T Warren IND TE3	N/A	11	23.5	135	418	703	1,353	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.	0

He likely won’t immediately be a three-down back, but there is long term upside to get there for a Broncos team that likes to run	0

Turning 26 in September, Shough will be older than almost a third of starting NFL QBs. Still, he has some appeal given HC Kellen Moore’s resume with QBs	0

16	Omarion Hampton O Hampton LAC RB5	N/A	12	22.7	114	602	948	1,612	Hampton has carried the North Carolina offense for two years (including when Drake Maye was the QB). The former four-star recruit tallied two straight years of 1,500+ rushing yards and 15 TDs, and he 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 a 38" vertical. He landed in a dreamy long-term spot with HC Jim Harbaugh and the Chargers. Hampton should work in tandem with Najee Harris this fall -- and then handle a clear lead role in ‘26	0

But he flashed NFL potential in 2023 at New Mexico with 189-1,190-17. The Washington backfield has some long term uncertainty, as Brian Robinson and Austin Ekeler enter contract seasons.	0

Tough runner with a low pad level who can work well through contact. Has also flashed on some outside runs. Solid NFL back-up whose best football may still be in front of him.	0

He has excellent speed and vision and is also a top-notch returner. Though Tuten's short-area quickness leaves a lot to be desired, he flashed receiving upside as a sophomore. He posted elite numbers at the NFL Combine as the fastest RB in the 40-yard dash, running a 4.32. He also had the best Vertical (40.5"). Tuten could earn lead-back status by late 2025	0

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.	0

Moving to Texas this past season unleashed his potential with 58 catches for 987 yards and 9 TDs. He was also the fastest WR at the NFL Combine with a 4.29 40-yard dash. Green Bay saw enough to select him in Round 1, and they’ve already talked up his speed, hands, and versatility. He should make a Year 1 fantasy impact – especially with Christian Watson rehabbing a torn ACL.	0

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 to be 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. Ayomanor landed in an excellent spot for long-term opportunity.	0
