Understanding the Dynasty Approach
These rankings aren’t for redraft. Career outlooks over the next five years drive every decision. Full PPR scoring is assumed, with normal touchdown and yardage settings. Players’ ages, offensive systems, durability, and projected usage all factored into the list. The focus is on combining immediate production with long-term value. The NFL changes fast, so five years is the most practical window to evaluate dynasty assets. While talent matters, team context plays a huge role. That’s why players in strong offenses with reliable roles climbed the ranks.
Honorable Mentions Who Just Missed the Cut
Jaden Daniels and Sam LaPorta nearly cracked the Top 25. Daniels offers massive upside but needs more than one year of proof. LaPorta regressed slightly and faces uncertainty with Detroit’s new offensive coordinator. Breece Hall and Drake London also fell just outside. Hall’s situation is murky with Justin Fields and Braylon Allen now involved in the Jets’ backfield. London’s chemistry with rookie QB Michael Penix is still an unknown. All four players are still valuable, but each carries enough concern to land just outside the top dynasty tiers.
Tier Five: Solid Assets with Debate at the Bottom
This tier includes Devon Achane, Garrett Wilson, Lamar Jackson, AJ Brown, and Ladd McConkey. Achane cracks the list based on explosive play and PPR usage. He averaged nearly 8 yards per carry as a rookie and added 78 receptions last season. Durability and competition in Miami’s crowded backfield raise questions, but the talent is undeniable. Lamar Jackson, at 28, remains a top dual-threat quarterback. He posted over 4,000 passing yards and 900 rushing yards last year. His ability to avoid big hits extends his dynasty value.
Ladd McConkey might be the biggest riser. After 82 catches and 1,150 yards as a rookie, he’s established himself as Justin Herbert’s go-to target. He’s young, explosive, and the clear WR1 in a Chargers offense that lacks alternatives. Garrett Wilson and AJ Brown round out this tier, offering high floors in proven roles. They weren’t the focus of the discussion, but still carry strong value in dynasty formats.
Tier Four: High Upside Players in Favorable Situations
Chase Brown, Kyren Williams, Josh Allen, Trey McBride, and Jonathan Taylor make up this group. Brown finished last season strong, scoring 11 touchdowns while taking over the Bengals’ backfield. With elite talent surrounding him, defenses can’t load the box. He’s in one of the best fantasy situations in the league. Trey McBride continues to shine in Arizona with over 100 catches and 1,100 yards last season. His only knock is scoring, just three touchdowns despite elite usage.
Jonathan Taylor remains a steady asset. The Colts’ offense is improving, and Taylor’s role is secure when healthy. Josh Allen’s running and throwing ability keep him in the elite fantasy quarterback tier. While the podcast didn’t dive into Allen and Williams in depth, their inclusion in this tier speaks to their expected production and role stability.
Tier Three: Budding Stars on the Rise
This tier includes Nico Collins, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Brian Thomas Jr., Bucky Irving, and Ashton Jeanty. Brian Thomas Jr. stood out after a breakout rookie season. With 1,282 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns, he quickly became Trevor Lawrence’s favorite target. The addition of Travis Hunter could take pressure off and open more opportunities for deep plays.
Ashton Jeanty has yet to take an NFL snap but is already inside the Top 15. After 2,600 rushing yards and 29 touchdowns at Boise State, he lands in a dream spot with Pete Carroll. The Raiders’ offense now has stability with Geno Smith and Brock Bowers. Jeanty has the talent and opportunity to become an elite dynasty back quickly.
Tier Two: Established Producers Entering Their Prime
This group features Brock Bowers, Malik Nabers, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Saquon Barkley, and CeeDee Lamb. Bowers is a tight end unicorn. With over 1,100 receiving yards and 112 receptions last year, he’s already a top-tier asset. Geno Smith gives him a stable quarterback, and Pete Carroll’s system should feature him heavily.
Saquon Barkley is the oldest running back on the list, but he lands in a perfect spot with Philadelphia. The Eagles’ elite line and supporting cast keep his outlook strong despite mileage. His 1,200 rushing yards and 13 touchdowns last year show he still has juice. Dynasty managers must monitor his workload, but for now, Barkley stays elite.
Tier One: Elite Dynasty Cornerstones
Puka Nacua, Jahmyr Gibbs, Bijan Robinson, Justin Jefferson, and Ja’Marr Chase make up the elite tier. Puka Nacua missed six games and still nearly hit 1,000 yards. He’s the Rams’ WR1 and works with a proven coach in Sean McVay. His production floor is among the highest in fantasy football.
Bijan Robinson earns RB1 status with back-to-back 17-game seasons and major leaps in volume. He racked up 1,456 rushing yards and 14 touchdowns last year while catching 61 passes. He’s a three-down back in a run-heavy system, and his ceiling is unmatched. Gibbs remains close behind, but Bijan’s workload gives him the edge.
Jefferson and Chase sit atop the wide receiver landscape. The podcast didn’t break down their cases, but their talent, youth, and role security keep them locked at the top of any fantasy football dynasty rankings.
