Fernando Mendoza

What a whirlwind weekend it has been, right?!

The 2026 NFL Draft in the rearview mirror and we now finally know the landing spots for all of these prospects, which means it’s time to start getting the draft boards ready for our rookie drafts happening within the next couple of weeks!

With that in mind, here is my latest updated Superflex rookie mock draft, along with analysis, for four rounds.

Superflex Dynasty Rookie Mock Draft

1.01 | Jeremiyah Love, RB, Arizona Cardinals

The Arizona Cardinals broke precedent and handed a RB that’s never played a snap in the entire NFL $50,000,000 in guaranteed money.

It’s absurd, it’s bad team-building practice, and it doesn’t make sense given the state of their roster…but it happened and it could mean very good things for Love’s fantasy football outlook.

The Cardinals are going to need to justify this pick to their fans, which means that Love’s going to be force-fed the ball a ridiculous amount right out of the gate.

1.02 | Fernando Mendoza, QB, Las Vegas Raiders

There’s a case to be made if you desperately need a QB to take Fernando Mendoza with the 1.01 in a Superflex format.

But, assuming that everything’s equal, Mendoza should be the pick here at No. 2.

It’s important to note that we may not see him on the field a ton in year one given the state of the offensive line and the WR room. The Raiders could very easily choose to view this as a redshirt year so Mendoza doesn’t get banged up or build bad habits.

Either way, if you need a QB2 for your dynasty roster, Mendoza’s a solid selection at the top due to what he’ll become down the line.

1.03 | Carnell Tate, WR, Tennessee Titans

I loved this pick for the Tennessee Titans.

Carnell Tate was my WR1 going into the NFL Draft and his skillset matches perfectly with Cam Ward. The Titans depth chart is wide open and was a great landing spot for a WR to step in and command a significant target share from day one.

Add in that Brian Daboll is coaching this offense and Tate’s one of the few players in this rookie class that I feel excited about.

1.04 | Jordyn Tyson, WR, New Orleans Saints

There were plenty of other ideal landing spots out there for Jordyn Tyson, but the draft capital is a major plus in his dynasty profile.

Having Chris Olave above him on the depth chart certainly limits his upside, as Tyler Shough and Olave have already proven chemistry together on the field, but Tyson should be involved enough to provide a solid floor for fantasy week in and week out.

Olave will work the intermediate to deep areas of the field, while Tyson will soak up targets underneath. I like the fit.

1.05 | Makai Lemon, WR, Philadelphia Eagles

Right now, on paper, Makai Lemon is the WR3 for a low-volume passing offense with a questionable QB throwing him the ball.

Doesn’t exactly seem like a situation that you would want to invest a top-five rookie selection in, right?

With that being said, we all know that AJ Brown is about to be traded post-June 1st to the New England Patriots and that will move Lemon up the depth chart into the starting slot role.

The Philadelphia Eagles have thrown a ton of resources at this WR room this offseason and I like their plan going into 2026. Dontayvion Wicks will play the outside role, DeVonta Smith will be the alpha option that’s moved all around the formation, and Lemon should be the primarily slot player in 3WR sets.

There’s limitations in this offense – as it currently stands – from a fantasy standpoint with Lemon. However, if the Eagles move on from Jalen Hurts in 2027 and bring in a dynamic passing threat, Lemon could explode.

1.06 | KC Concepcion, WR, Cleveland Browns

You’re probably not going to get a ton of production from KC Concepcion in 2026.

He’ll be on the field, yes, but the state of this QB room in Cleveland is going to be a headache more often than not when projecting fantasy outlooks.

With the addition of Denzel Boston – plus Jerry Jeudy, Cedric Tillman, and Harold Fannin all being present on the roster already – there’s a lot of mouths to feed here for an offense that I don’t feel confident in.

2027 is where we could see the Browns clean house and move off of the contracts for Watson, Jeudy, and Tillman.

Concepcion as the main target in this offense for a solid QB prospect in 2027 is worth spending the top-six pick on now. The talent level dictates it.

1.07 | Kenyon Sadiq, TE, New York Jets

The addition of Omar Cooper Jr. later on in first round of the NFL Draft doesn’t exactly have me as excited about Kenyon Sadiq, but we can’t ignore the athletic profile and the draft capital.

‘It’s suddenly now a crowded offense in New York, but Sadiq’s unicorn ability is certainly intriguing as they need to just get the ball in his hands and let him create after the catch.

I have my concerns about Geno Smith as a starting QB, but I feel confident he can at least do that. In a rookie class that doesn’t offer a ton of upside, I’ll take the chance on Sadiq at this point of the draft.

1.08 | Jadarian Price, RB, Seattle Seahawks

I’m scared of the lack of production for Price.

I’m nervous about the All-22 film and him potentially not ironing out the things that need to be ironed out for him to be a solid NFL RB.

Yet, it doesn’t really make all that much of a difference from a rookie draft standpoint when he’s a RB with round one draft capital that landed in one of the better offenses in the NFL.

I’m not quite sure what this backfield will look like in 2027, although I highly doubt it will ever be entirely Price’s, but the immediate payoff that Price will give you as Zach Charbonnet recovers from injury is more than you’ll get out of any other player in this class.

1.09 | Ty Simpson, QB, Los Angeles Rams

This pick still makes me cringe thinking back on it.

There’s a non-zero chance that Sean McVay is not the head coach when Ty Simpson is trotted out there as the replacement to Matthew Stafford. We need to acknowledge that.

So, the “ideal landing spot” argument could end up not coming to fruition if McVay decides to retire from coaching to do media when Stafford hangs them up.

With all that in mind though, he’s still a QB with top 15 overall NFL Draft capital that should be considered in the first round of dynasty rookie drafts.

I would not feel great about myself after making this selection though…

1.10 | Omar Cooper Jr., WR, New York Jets

Omar Cooper Jr.’s a dynamic player with the ball in his hands, but he now finds himself as the third, or fourth, best receiving target on his own team at the next level.

The Jets could be playing from behind a lot again this season, which would mean more volume, but the upside isn’t there right now for immediate production.

He’s a solid bet to take at the back end of the first round though due to his talent and the potential that New York is picking the top QB off the board in 2027 due to all of their draft ammunition.

1.11 | Eli Stowers, TE, Philadelphia Eagles

It feels weird to recommend taking a backup TE at the back end of the first round of your dynasty rookie draft, but that’s where we’re at with this class after the NFL Draft.

Eli Stowers is a ridiculous athlete. There’s a conversation to be had that he could play outside WR instead of true, inline TE, but he has the talent to be one of the game’s better receiving weapons.

The offense he landed in though means that it may be 2027 before we see him crack the starting lineup for the Eagles and get consistent targets due to Dallas Goedert returning.

The upside is worth paying the cost right now, especially compared to the remainder of the class.

1.12 | Antonio Williams, WR, Washington Commanders

This may seem early for a lot of people to have Antonio Williams in the round one conversation, but he was my WR7 before the NFL Draft and he got arguably the best landing spot for fantasy out of any WR.

The Washington Commanders’ WR room was barren. It’s Terry McLaurin and then Treylon Burks as WR2.

They desperately needed someone like Williams to step into the slot role in this offense and be a reliable receiving option over the middle of the field.

He’ll start out of the slot on day one and 100 targets for Williams in his rookie campaign is not out of the question.

2.01 | Denzel Boston, WR, Cleveland Browns

The Browns will be able to get Boston onto the field a bit in year one as the X-receiver, but the QB play will hold him back from being fantasy relevant.

2027 is when he could see a 20% or more target share in this offense when other players get cleared out of the way.

2.02 | Germie Bernard, WR, Pittsburgh Steelers

The landing spot for Germie Bernard was good from a pathway standpoint. It’ll be DK Metcalf and Michael Pittman Jr. on opposite sides with Bernard filling the slot role.

The only thing holding him back from being further up the rankings is that in year one, it could be Aaron Rodgers, Mason Rudolph, or Drew Allar throwing him passes.

As the WR3 – at best – in a passing attack that has those QBs, I’m not going to vault him up the rankings.

2.03 | De’Zhaun Stribling, WR, San Francisco 49ers

De’Zhaun Stribling was my WR12 going into the NFL Draft and he got the No. 33 overall draft capital…

It’s a massive reach by the San Francisco 49ers, but he’s going to be given every opportunity to prove that he was worth taking there. As we move throughout the rest of the rookie draft, that’s more than we can say for many others in this grouping.

2.04 | Jonah Coleman, RB, Denver Broncos

I loved Jonah Coleman going into the 2026 NFL Draft and he ended up waiting a bit longer than I anticipated to hear his name called.

With that being said though, what a landing spot for him…

JK Dobbins is present in this backfield, but he’s oft-injured and he has $0 guaranteed in 2027. This backfield could easily be Coleman and RJ Harvey’s to command in 2027 and beyond.

If you want to take Coleman in the back half of the first round, you’ll have no arguments from me here.

2.05 | Malachi Fields, WR, New York Giants

I believe that Malachi Fields is primarily a jump-ball specialist that will be able to contribute mainly in red zone situations. However, that’s exactly the role that the New York Giants do not have on their roster right now.

He fills a need for this team, but it’s a question as to exactly how valuable that will be for fantasy football.

2.06 | Emmett Johnson, RB, Kansas City Chiefs

Emmett Johnson’s tape indicates that he should have been drafted before the 5th round, but the athletic profile was enough to move him further down the board.

He now lands in a backup role behind Kenneth Walker, but he faces little competition to the RB2 spot in this backfield. As an insurance RB for your dynasty depth, the talent level is there for him to be a factor if Walker were to ever miss time.

2.07 | Chris Bell, WR, Miami Dolphins

It was shocking to see Chris Bell still on the board at pick No. 94 when he finally came off the board, but teams certainly weren’t sure what to make of his projection to the next level – combined with his injury recovery.

However, for fantasy purposes, we shouldn’t let the third round draft capital hold us back from being excited about his outlook. He has a wide open path in this Miami Dolphins offense and he could easily still be the WR1 for this team halfway through the year.

2.08 | Nicholas Singleton, RB, Tennessee Titans

The draft capital isn’t great, but the landing spot is for Nicholas Singleton.

He profiles better, in my opinion, as a pass catching RB out of the backfield if he drops some weight and there is a pathway for him to assume that role sooner than later behind Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears.

2.09 | Chris Brazzell II, WR, Carolina Panthers

Reportedly, maturity issues were a concern for Chris Brazzell and that’s what caused him to be available a little bit later in the NFL Draft than many were initially anticipating.

I like this landing spot as the deep threat option for Bryce Young. He’ll fall behind Tetairoa McMillan, and potentially Jalen Coker, in the target hierarchy, but the upside is certainly there.

2.10 | Ted Hurst, WR, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

There’s a strong possibility that Chris Godwin is not on this roster in 2027, which would mean that Emeka Egbuka, Jalen McMillan, and Hurst could be the starting WR trio for this team long term.

Hurst needs a lot of refinement, but the physical tools and traits are there to mold.

2.11 | Elijah Sarratt, WR, Baltimore Ravens

The Ravens ended up taking multiple WRs here in the middle rounds of this NFL Draft, but I prefer Elijah Sarratt as the one to target first.

Sarratt was higher in my pre-draft rankings and I expect him to settle into a power-slot role here for this Declan Doyle offense with Lamar Jackson.

With his route-running refinement – he reminded me of Cooper Kupp a little bit before the Draft – I think he could thrive in this role.

2.12 | Mike Washington Jr., RB, Las Vegas Raiders

I always viewed Mike Washington Jr. as more of a high-end backup in the NFL versus starter and he now lands in a spot that offers one of the better backup roles.

He’ll be able to be a change-of-pace option to Ashton Jeanty, while holding intriguing upside if the sophomore elite talent were to ever miss time.
