Check it out! Below, Justin Currie shared his 2025 rookie rankings with tiers following the 2025 NFL Draft. 

The most fun time of the year for dynasty players is upon us—rookie draft season, baby! The 2025 NFL Draft is complete, and the time for landing spot speculation has passed. Now, it’s time to evaluate opportunities, draft capital, and scheme fit. To help put that into context, I took down my initial rookie rankings and placed each position into tiers based on landing spot, draft capital, and expected opportunity share.

Year-round dynasty players are licking their chops to get into rookie drafts, and this will help solidify some opinions. If you’re just tuning back into Dynasty for the first time since the Super Bowl, this will offer a crash course in who landed where and what it means.

Without further ado, here are my first super flex rankings for dynasty.

2025 Rookie Rankings with Tiers

Tier 1

Ashton Jeanty, Raiders- 6th pick RB1

The highest drafted running back since Saquon Barkley stands alone as an S-Tier prospect in an environment with no competition; the 2024 Heisman runner-up is the consensus 1.01.

Tier Break

Cam Ward, Titans 1st pick

Travis Hunter, Jaguars 2nd pick

Omarion Hampton, Chargers 22nd pick

Tetairoa McMillan, Panthers 8th pick

The 1st overall selection being ranked behind a running back may stand out considering it’s Superflex.  Cam Ward has all the tools of a franchise QB but not the prolific rushing upside to make him an instant threat to the dual-threat signal callers at the position.

Tier Break

Quinshon Judkins, Browns, 36th overall

TreVeyon Henderson, Patriots 38th overall

R.J. Harvey, Broncos 60th overall

Matthew Golden, Packers 23rd overall

The Packers’ first-round selection, WR Matthew Golden, bumps him into this tier.  Golden has a clear runway in terms of day 1 opportunity to shine for an offense that needs a “true number one” wideout, as Josh Jacobs said.

The Broncos’ selection of R.J. Harvey 60th overall is the bigger surprise here.  At 24 years old, many questioned how highly he would be selected in the draft.  Harvey profiled as an explosive runner, 2nd in breakaway run rate to only Ashton Jeanty.

Tier Break

Tyler Warren, Colts 14th overall

Colston Loveland, Bears 10th overall

Jaxson Dart, Giants 25th overall

Kaleb Johnson, Steelers 83rd overall

Both tight ends in this tier enter into situations with incredible draft capital and equivalent amounts of question marks about their ability to command targets for very different reasons.  Kaleb Johnson steps into a role with the Steelers as an apparent replacement for Najee Harris, with more breakaway run ability.

Tier Break

Emeka Egbuka, Buccaneers 19th overall

Tre Harris, Chargers 56th overall

Luther Burden III, Bears 39th overall

Jayden Higgins, Texans 34th overall

A collective gasp at a couple of selections in this tier. Emeka Egbuka going to the Buccaneers at 19 gives him a great QB for fantasy purposes, but an extremely cloudy outlook on the surface. However, Mike Evans only has a void year on his contract after 2025, and Chris Godwin‘s recovery from a gruesome ankle injury adds more uncertainty to what many consider to be an “unfortunate” landing spot for the former Ohio State Buckeye. Buy the dip.

Tier Break

Elijah Arroyo, Seahawks 50th overall

Jaylin Noel, Texans 79th overall

Kyle Williams, Patriots 69th overall

Three of the biggest risers in the whole process round out the top 20, solidifying the growing drumbeat for all of their talents.  Noel has the least clear path to targets, battling with former Iowa State Cyclone teammate Jayden Higgins for targets behind star wide receiver Nico Collins.

Tier Break

Jack Bech, Raiders 58th overall

Cam Skattebo, Giants 105th overall

Terrance Ferguson, Rams 46th overall

Jarquez Hunter, Rams 117th overall

Bhayshul Tuten, Jags 104th overall

Jalen Royals, Chiefs 133rd overall

The biggest tier so far.  Big believer in the talent, landing spots and capital don’t lend themselves to immediate production for fantasy gamers.

Tier Break

Mason Taylor, Jets 42nd overall

Harold Fannin Jr., Browns 67th overall

Elic Ayomanor, Titans 136th overall

Dillon Gabriel, Browns 94th overall

Second-round capital in an offense with a dearth of pass catchers for former LSU tight end Mason Taylor makes him an intriguing selection in any form of tight end premium scoring leagues.

Tier Break

Tai Felton, Vikings 102nd overall

Jalen Milroe, Seahawks 92nd overall

Dylan Sampson, Browns 126th overall

Felton is an interesting best ball pick as his selection hints that he’ll be allowed to supplant Jalen Nailor as the tertiary option in Vikings Head Coach Kevin O’Connell’s pass-happy offense

Tier Break

Shedeur Sanders, Browns 144th overall

Brashard Smith, Chiefs 228 overall

Devin Neal, Saints 184th overall

Tory Horton, Seahawks, 166th overall

The running backs in this tier intrigue me the most, as the incumbent starters in both spots have shown a propensity to be injured in previous years.

Tier Break

Jordan James, 49ers 147th overall

Woody Marks, Texans 116th overall

Jacory Croskey-Merritt, Commanders, 245th overall

Oronde Gadsden II,Chargers165th overall

Woody Marks could earn a role spelling Joe MixonOronde Gadsden II is very intriguing, as a converted wide receiver with an NFL pedigree.  He walks into a Chargers tight end room to compete with Tyler Conklin for targets from Justin Herbert.

Tier Break

Tyler Shough, Saints 40th overall

Will Howard, Steelers 183 overall

Trevor Etienne Panthers 114th overall

Etienne is a depth piece that slid due to inconsistency after transferring to Georgia If he is healthy, he immediately has a role in spelling bellcow starter Chuba Hubbard.

Tier Break

Isaac TesSlaa Lions, 70th overall

Kyle Monangai, Bears 233rd overall

Dont’e Thornton, Raiders 108th overall

 Damien Martinez, Seahawks 223 overall

Both WRs in this range are RAS score darlings.  Martinez finds himself in a crowded backfield.

Tier Break

Jaylin Lane, Commanders 128th overall

Savion Williams, Packers 87th overall

The versatile Savion Williams adds another gadget player to complement Jayden Reed.

There you have it. 50 rookies, ranked in tiers as you go into your rookie drafts.  Something to keep in mind as you’re trying to decide while you’re on the clock and sweating the future of your dynasty teams. Good luck and happy hunting to all!
