CLASS OF 2026 · THE NEW TIDE

The Rookies

Every fantasy-position name the league just drafted, in pick order — with the three bets already on the table: the league's (real draft capital), the market's (is he being drafted in fantasy yet, and where), and the club's (where he's officially listed). Nothing projected; three published facts per name.

The rookie composite Draft capital 50%Landing spot 30%Projected role 20% Each is where he ranks among rookies at his position on a real number already on this page — draft capital, landing-spot SoS, and the club's listed depth-chart role. Missing an ingredient shrinks the recipe (partial); too little and there's no score — we don't invent one.

DYNASTY CURIOUS? Same rookies, different game — in a dynasty league these names are a multi-year bet, not a this-season one. See the dynasty board →

Where this comes from: the open nflverse draft file (the league's own 2026 class), the same live ADP behind the rankings board, and the club's official depth chart (as of 2026-07-09). Early capital means the league itself paid up — that's a fact, not a fantasy verdict. A "free" tag on a Day-2 name is where the sleeper hunting starts. Refreshed 2026-07-09.
