With the underclassman declaration deadline officially behind us we can officially begin the 2026 rookie evaluation process. Here are some of the top dynasty rookies to know for your upcoming dynasty rookie drafts. And you can see where we have them projected to go in our lastest dynasty rookie mock draft.
Dynasty Rookies to Know: Running Backs
Jeremiyah Love (RB – Notre Dame)
Jeremiyah Love is as locked into the 1.01 spot this year as Ashton Jeanty was last year. His combination of size, strength, athleticism and versatility makes him the ideal NFL workhorse. In the right landing spot, Love could score 20 PPR points per game as a rookie.
Jonah Coleman (RB – Washington)
Jonah Coleman is my RB2 in the 2026 class now that Justice Haynes has transferred to Georgia Tech rather than declaring for the 2026 NFL Draft.
Coleman had a down year in 2025 due to some nagging injuries, but he has been a highly efficient rusher throughout his career. Coleman is a very capable pass-catcher as well, confirming his three-down skill set. Think Josh Jacobs in terms of top-end player comps.
Jadarian Price (RB – Notre Dame)
To wrap up the first round, we have Jadarian Price, the Robin to Jeremiyah Love’s Batman. With Love to compete alongside, Price never saw a full workload at Notre Dame, but he was efficient with the touches he did receive.
Price averaged 5.8 or more yards per attempt (YPA) and 3.9 or more yards after contact per attempt (YCO/A) in each of the past three seasons — both very good marks. The downside here is that Price never really got involved as a receiver in college.
