Managers in dynasty fantasy football leagues are gearing up for their upcoming rookie-only drafts, where they’ll add young players with big upside to their current rosters. While the 2025 NFL Draft was not the best for the redraft crowd (especially at the running back spot), there are plenty of players who could see their fantasy stock rise in the near future.

For example, Omarion Hampton will likely be splitting some work with Najee Harris in his first NFL season. Obviously, that hurts his redraft appeal. But because Harris is only on a one-year deal, Hampton’s long-term outlook is far more appealing. The same goes for Emeka Egbuka, who joins a crowded Buccaneers wide receiver room, and Elijah Arroyo, who will likely play behind Noah Fant in his first professional season with the Seahawks.

With that said, here’s my initial look at my top 50 fantasy rookies for dynasty drafts.
