Dynasty | The Kansas City Chiefs drafted SMU running back Brashard Smith in the seventh round of the 2025 NFL Draft. Dynasty Analysis: Smith entered the NFL Draft as a possible "sleeper" candidate and left the weekend with that same designation after being taken in the seventh round by the Kansas City Chiefs. He may end up being overdrafted by some dynasty managers hoping he's the latest late-round running back darling destined to rise to stardom. However, he's no more than a late round flier as a seventh round pick who isn't a lock to make the roster.

Dynasty | The Tennessee Titans drafted Michigan running back Kalel Mullings in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL Draft. Dynasty Analysis: A favorite of many pundits after moving from linebacker to running back (!), Mullings will need to show his lack of experience won't hold him back as he attempts to carve out a role behind Tony Pollard and Tajae Spears and avoid the practice squad. He looks like a late round lottery ticket in rookie drafts.

Dynasty | The Chargers signed undrafted running back Raheim Sanders. Dynasty Analysis: Sanders was one of the biggest value victims of NFL Draft, going undrafted before signing with the Chargers. It's a decent spot for him to land as he'll attempt to earn a roster spot behind the likes of Najee Harris and Omarion Hampton. Savvy dynsasty managers could look at him with a late round pick and take the plunge, thinking he could take over Harris' role after next season. Still, nothing is promised for Sanders as an undrafted player.

Dynasty | The New Orleans Saints drafted Kansas running back Devin Neal in the sixth round of the NFL Draft. Dynasty Analysis: Neal fell all the way down to round six before being taken by the Saints. On paper, this is a great landing spot as Alvin Kamara continues to age. However, it's impossible to ignore he was the 17th running back taken in 2025. Neal isn't promised anything (including a roster spot), but he'll be a late round flier in rookie drafts.

Dynasty | The Dallas Cowboys drafted Texas running back Jaydon Blue in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft. Dynasty Analysis: Let's face it, rookie drafts are easy to maneuver through in the first round or two. However, there's nothing better than spending a later pick and seeing him turn into a viable player. The recipe is there with Blue, drafted by the running back-needy Cowboys in round five. While there's a chance he's a total bust based on his skill set, but you could certainly do worse on a pick in the later part of round three in a rookie draft.

Dynasty | The Colts drafted Kansas State running back DJ Giddens in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft. Dynasty Analysis: While not initially exciting on paper considering he's backing up Jonathan Taylor, Giddens does have a solid background and three-down ability. It looks like he'll start his career as a handcuff at best, but he's a player to keep an eye on and a possible third or fourth round pick this year in rookie drafts.

Dynasty | The San Francisco 49ers drafted Oregon running back Jordan James in the fifth round of the NFL Draft. Dynasty Analysis: Every year brings us late round running backs drafted on intriguing teams. This year is no different as James went to the 49ers in round five. Kyle Shanahan (and his entire family) has made a living on creating relevant running backs and while James slots in as a backup currently, he'd be one Christian McCaffrey injury away from real relevance should he beat out Isaac Guerendo for the backup job this Summer. As such, he's worth a late round pick in a rookie draft as a calculated dart throw.

Dynasty | The Miami Dolphins drafted Oklahoma State running back Ollie Gordon in the sixth round of the NFL Draft. Dynasty Analysis: While this would have been unfathomable a year ago, this is the reality when you have a year as down as the one Gordon had this season. It's tough to see an early career role for him as he's now on a depth chart featuring De'Von Achane, Jaylen Wright and Alexander Mattison. Still, he's a physical player and not a prototypical speed runner like Miami has on their roster and that bodes well for him. In the end, Gordon will be a late round flier in rookie drafts this year.

Dynasty | The Seattle Seahawks drafted Colorado State wide receiver Tory Horton in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft. Dynasty Analysis: As a result, Horton instantly looks like an intriguing late round flier as a result. After all, he's been productive before and looks to be healthy again. While no lock to make the roster, Seattle isn't exactly bursting with young receiver talent and Horton should be monitored throughout the off-season. His injuries have held him back but he's been productive before and has a legitimate chance to make an impact early in his Seattle career.

Dynasty | The Seahawks drafted Miami running back Damien Martinez in the seventh round of the 2025 NFL Draft. Dynasty Analysis: As a seventh round draft pick, nothing will be guaranteed for him moving forward. While he has solid talent, he's going to need to beat out Kenny McIntosh for a spot on the depth chart behind Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet. As such, Martinez looks like little more than a dart throw in a rookie draft.

Dynasty | The Tampa Bay Bucs drafted Oregon wide receiver Tez Johnson in the seventh round of the 2025 NFL Draft. Dynasty Analysis: More of a slot receiver at the next level, dropping all the way down to the seventh round of the NFL Draft is going to leave him fighting for a roster spot. After all, Tampa Bay has Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, Emeka Egbuka and Jalen McMillan already ahead of him on the roster. You'll have to play the long game with Johnson if you choose to draft him in the late rounds of a rookie draft.

Dynasty | The Titans have signed undrafted wide receiver Xavier Restrepo. Dynasty Analysis: Restrepo surprisingly went undrafted and subsequently signed on with the Titans shortly after the draft. This is likely a better outcome than being taken as Tennessee doesn't have the deepest receiving corps and he'll be reunited with college quarterback Cam Ward. Still, the Titans don't have much invested here and you should do the same in a dynasty league.

Dynasty | The Texans drafted USC running back Woody Marks in the fourth round of the 2025 NFL Draft. Dynasty Analysis: It's a solid landing spot for Marks, who will battle the likes of Dameon Pierce and Dare Ogunbowale for snaps behind current workhorse Joe Mixon. While seeing a path to early season playing time looks tough, Marks looks like a decent late round stash in rookie drafts for managers willing to play the long game.

Dynasty | The Rams drafted Auburn running back Jarquez Hunter in the fourth round of the 2025 NFL Draft. Dynasty Analysis: This is an interesting pick as the Rams have made a living of making running backs fantasy viable and Hunter could be next in line. While Kyren Williams will remain the starter for the Rams, Hunter looks like a player who could challenge Blake Corum for the RB2 job. The Rams clearly like Hunter as they traded up to get him. He looks like a solid dart throw in the middle rounds of rookie drafts.

Dynasty | The Tennessee Titans drafted Texas tight end Gunnar Helm in the fourth round of the 2025 NFL Draft. Dynasty Analysis: He should slot in behind starter Chig Okonkwo, but dynasty managers were clearly hoping he'd go to a team without an established young pass-catching option at the position. Still, Okonkwo hasn't exactly dominated in his time in the league and patient dynasty managers who take Helm late in rookie drafts could have a good bargain.

Dynasty | The Cleveland Browns drafted Tennessee running back Dylan Sampson in the fourth round of the 2025 NFL Draft. Dynasty Analysis: One of the bigger value losers this year, Sampson dropped into the fourth round of the 2025 NFL Draft. Even worse, he was taken by Cleveland, who also took Ohio State running back Quinshon Judkins this season, making this pick a whole lot better in reality than in fantasy. Sampson has ability but he's going to need to show a lot in camp to get any kind of early playing time. His draft stock fell quite a bit over the weekend.

Dynasty | The Kansas City Chiefs drafted Utah State wide receiver Jalen Royals in the fourth round of the 2025 NFL Draft. Dynasty Analysis: Royals dropped all the way to the fourth round of the 2025 NFL Draft before the Chiefs scooped him up at #133 overall. He landed in a good spot, but this also isn't the Kansas City offense we all loved for fantasy purposes a few years ago, either. A pre-draft top 20 player, he's going to fall a few spots because of the draft capital used (or not used), but he's certainly going to be a decent stash in dynasty leagues.

Dynasty | The Titans drafted Stanford wide receiver Elic Ayomanor in the fourth round of the 2025 NFL Draft. Dynasty Analysis: Ayomanor was a pre-draft top-15 dynasty prospect, but that won't hold after he fell all the way to the bottom of round four before being taken by the Titans. There were some questions about his overall ceiling and it seems a lot of teams just didn't think he was special in any way. Still, it only took one and Tennessee will give him a solid shot in camp to earn some early career playing time. He'll fall down a round or so in rookie drafts, but he's a solid mid-round gamble in rookie drafts.

Dynasty | The Cleveland Browns drafted Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft. Dynasty Analysis: There were a lot of value losers in the 2025 NFL Draft, then there's Sanders, who at one time not too long ago was considered the favorite to be top overall selection. Instead, he not only fell out of the first round, he fell out of the top four rounds, finally taken by the Browns with pick #144 in round five. It was made crystal clear by what amounts to the entire NFL that the attention that inevitably was going to come with drafting Sanders just wasn't worth it. In the end, Sanders will compete not with Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett to start, but with Dillon Gabriel for an active roster spot and avoidance of the practice squad. Sanders looks like a player who will be overdrafted in rookie drafts based on his name alone, but his career is now no sure thing.

Dynasty | The Jaguars drafted Virginia Tech running back Bhayshul Tuten in the fourth round of the 2025 NFL Draft. Dynasty Analysis: There were hopes that Tuten could slip into the second or third round of the draft, but he fell to the Jaguars in the fourth. With Tank Bigsby and Travis Ettiene likely locked into the top two spots, Tuten is going to need to show some pass catching ability and develop his game quickly to get time. Still, this is an unsettled team with a new Head Coach, so anything can happen. Tuten looks like a late second or third round pick in rookie drafts.
