Jagger May and Andrew Mott are already looking past 2026 and breaking down a quarterback class that could rival some of the best in recent memory. With at least four first-round-caliber passers and an S-tier that could produce the next franchise QB, the 2027 class deserves your attention right now. Dante Moore sits at number one with high-upside tools and the most to gain or lose in 2027. He now faces stiff competition from transfer portal newcomer Dylan Raiola at Oregon, making his season a must-watch storyline. Julian Sayin at Ohio State is drawing massive buzz as a potential QB1, while Arch Manning showed real improvement late in the season at Texas. Jayden Maiava at USC, DJ Lagway (now at Baylor), and LaNorris Sellers round out a tier of big-armed, high-ceiling prospects still learning the game. Josh Hoover transferring to Indiana may be the sleeper of the class, and John Mateer at Oklahoma brings electric athleticism if he can rein in the decision making. Brendan Sorsby heads to Texas Tech as a name to watch. The dynasty advice is simple: stockpile 2027 picks now before the market catches up.

They break down six 2026 rookie wideouts, from a relentless Puka Nacua-style playmaker to a 6-foot-4 speedster who tore up Senior Bowl week. They debate a polished route-runner with athletic concerns and a Jayden Reed-like slot YAC specialist with injury history. Two more low-ADOT slot types are compared for depth value and YAC upside.

A six-player 2026 wide receiver tape breakdown covering a consensus WR1 with elite contested-catch metrics and zero drops. Conversation on a reliable gadget-type route runner and a debated big-bodied playmaker with top-tier ball skills but limited route work. Speedy special-teams types and a raw deep-threat with hands concerns get evaluated. A small-school Senior Bowl standout is pitched as a mid-round high-upside stash.

They rank every NFL team by how good or terrible it is as a landing spot for rookies. You get quick takes on which teams offer immediate snaps, which have crowded depth charts, and which organizations are risky or well-run. The podcast walks through coaching fits, roster windows, and where dynasty managers should fear drafting.

They re-rank the 2026 rookie wide receiver class and debate the top-tier trio and injury worries. They highlight a rising prospect with Chiefs landing-spot upside and argue why this class may be deeper than expected. Route nuance, athletic testing, scheme fit, and boom-or-bust profiles get sharp comparisons. Late-round sleepers and how this class stacks against past deep WR groups are also discussed.

The 2026 wide receiver class is officially open for business on the Dynasty Nerds podcast. Rich Dotson, Matt O'Hara, and Garret Price kick off their multi-episode WR breakdown series with six prospects, headlined by one of the most debated players in the class and a few names that spark genuine disagreement on the film room tape. Jordyn Tyson out of Arizona State is the centerpiece of this episode and for good reason — some analysts have him as the number one receiver in the class, others as number three. The crew lands somewhere in between. Tyson earns nerd scores of 77.2 (Rich) and 76.5 (Garret), putting him in the same historical range as Jaylen Waddle and Drake London, with a few cautionary names like Jalen Reagor mixed in. The praise is real: he's a smooth, savvy route runner who gets open against zone at will, works every alignment, and has a 67% contested catch win rate by one metric. The concern is equally real: against press man coverage — specifically the Utah tape — he struggles to create separation, offers almost nothing after the catch, and carries an extensive injury history including a 2022 ACL/MCL, a 2024 broken collarbone, and multiple hamstring injuries in 2025 that prevented him from finishing a season for the third straight year. The consensus projection is WR 1.4 to 1.5 territory in SuperFlex rookie drafts, with Carnell Tate and Makai Lemon grading in a tier above him. His floor comp is Jerry Jeudy; his ceiling is Amari Cooper or Garrett Wilson in the right situation. Ja'Kobi Lane from USC is the kind of player who helps an NFL team more than he helps your dynasty roster — at least in the short term. At 6-4 with a 40-inch vertical, massive catch radius, and vice-grip hands that give him a clear advantage in contested situations, the tape is legitimately intriguing. Garret scores him a 75.8, Matt comes in at 73.4, and the gap reflects a genuine split on how much to weigh his route-running limitations. He's a build-up speed guy, not a burst guy, and physical corners can knock him around at the line. He played through a lower-body injury in 2025 that may explain a down statistical year, and the crew encourages revisiting his 2024 tape before locking in a final grade. Dream landing spots: the Raiders alongside Fernando Mendoza, or New England with Drake Maye. Ceiling: Tee Higgins. Floor: a big possession receiver who helps teams more than dynasty managers.

Rich Dotson, Matt O'Hara, and Garret Price close out the class with six running backs who, outside of the top tier, struggle to inspire confidence in any dynasty format. Jadarian Price out of Notre Dame may carry the "consensus RB2" label in many dynasty circles, but all three hosts come away largely underwhelmed. Price earns nerd scores in the low-to-mid 73s — respectable for this class, but not the kind of tape that inspires first-round dynasty capital. His vision, patience, and contact balance are legitimate strengths, but his near-total absence from the passing game (just 15 career receptions) is a glaring red flag in PPR formats. The hosts land on Price as a prototypical 1.5-to-2-year window guy — the kind of back an NFL team leans on in a pinch before eventually upgrading. Solid, not special. Nick Singleton came into Penn State with first-round buzz and a reputation as the premier running back in his recruiting class. What the Dynasty Nerds film room found was something far less exciting. Singleton scores a 70.8 (Rich) and 69.8 (Garret) — RB5 by default in a shallow class. He has the size, speed, and pass-catching ability to intrigue NFL teams, but his vision is described as "atrocious," his hips are tight, and he offers zero wiggle in the open field. He's a straight-line athlete playing running back rather than a polished NFL prospect. The crew agrees he's a late Day 3 pick — a high-ceiling project that dynasty managers should treat as a third-round flier at best. Le'Von Moss from Texas A&M had just seven games last season before tearing his MCL and ACL, and the limited film makes a full evaluation nearly impossible. When healthy, the crew acknowledges real tools — initial burst, angry running style, low pad level, and surprisingly better lateral movement than Singleton. But with only 121 career carries at his peak and no involvement in the passing game (two career receptions in 2025), Moss falls into the fourth tier of this class. Garret scores him a 68.7. The health question mark simply overshadows everything else. Jam Miller from Alabama carries the stigma of Crimson Tide running backs without the résumé to back it up. His 4.42 40-yard dash was legitimately surprising, and his pass protection grades are a relative bright spot, but that's about it. Poor vision, missed cutback lanes, and a concerning inability to break tackles leave the hosts stumped on how he gets drafted. Rich scores him a 65.6; Garret gives him a 63.7. The consensus: great athlete in the real world, not a dynasty asset in this one. Roman Hemby out of Indiana is everything you expect from a backup running back — nothing more, nothing less. He reads blocks well, almost never fumbles (two career fumbles on 710 carries), catches the ball adequately, and runs with purpose. But he lacks burst, top-end speed, and any ability to make defenders miss after contact. Garret scores him a 67.5. Rich identifies him as the best run blocker in this entire class. He'll stay on rosters because coaches will like him — but if he's ever starting, his team is already making calls. A true baked potato. No butter. The wild card of the episode is Rahsul Faison from South Carolina — a 26-year-old prospect who started college football in 2019, before COVID, and somehow scores a 70.5 on Rich's nerd scale (sixth in the class on tape alone). The age kills his dynasty outlook, but the tape is surprisingly watchable: genuine elusiveness, strong instincts, natural hands, and a high forced-missed-tackle rate per PFF. The hosts agree he's more of a priority free agent or late-round flier than a dynasty stash — but in a class this thin, even a 26-year-old with good tape stands out. His taxi squad eligibility running out before he'd realistically age off your roster is half the selling point. The 2026 running back class outside of Jeremiyah Love is genuinely one of the weakest in recent memory. Nerd scores drop from the 80s (Love) to the low 70s (Mike Washington, Jonah Coleman, Jadarian Price) and then fall below 70 for everyone else. The hosts' advice: be patient, look for value in receivers and tight ends with your premium picks, and only reach for these backs if the landing spot justifies the risk.

With the NFL Draft just a month away, Garret Price and Andrew Mott are back on the Dynasty Nerds Podcast to break down the players carrying the most risk heading into draft season. Nobody on this list is dead in the water, but all of them could see their dynasty value shift dramatically depending on what happens over the next few weeks. Aaron Jones and Jordan Mason headline the risky running back conversation, with Minnesota's unsettled front office and draft capital pointing toward potential reinforcements in the backfield. Rookie names like Jadarian Price, Kayron Allen, and Emmett Johnson could all find their way to Minnesota and steal touches. In Kansas City, Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy are both vulnerable with the Chiefs holding a top-ten pick in both the first and second round and a clear need for a true pass-catching weapon alongside Patrick Mahomes. Over in Arizona, Tyler Allgeier enters a crowded backfield with an uncertain quarterback situation and the very real possibility the Cardinals add a running back in the draft, making him a prime sell candidate at current value. Geno Smith heads back to the Jets as nothing more than a bridge quarterback, with Ty Simpson or another young signal-caller likely to take over before the season is out. Ricky Pearsall in San Francisco gets a longer leash with Mike Evans and Christian Kirk added around him, but picks 27 and 58 put the 49ers squarely in range for receivers like Omar Cooper or KC Concepcion who would immediately threaten his long-term role. Finally, Malik Nabers carries the most risk of the bunch, with an injury recovery running behind schedule, a new receiver potentially coming at pick five, and an ADP of ten overall that prices in a best-case scenario the offseason has not supported.

The Draft Nerds are back with a four-round rookie-only mock draft in a tight end premium, PPR super flex format. Jagger May and Andrew Mott break down every pick, debate positional value, and reveal exactly how they're approaching one of the more wide-open rookie classes in recent memory. Jeremiyah Love goes first overall without hesitation, and from there the board gets interesting fast. Andrew grabs Fernando Mendoza at 1.03, leaning into super flex format value over the wide receiver run happening around him. Jagger follows with KC Concepcion while both hosts agree that Jonah Coleman, Jadarian Price, and most running backs not named Jeremiyah Love should wait. The consensus is clear: this is a pass catcher draft, and wide receivers and tight ends carry more reliable value than nearly any running back in the class. Andrew doubles down on positional strategy by snagging Ty Simpson at 2.03, building a quarterback asset he can either start or flip for future capital. Start Using the Film Room Today!

The Dynasty Nerds College Show is back, and Garret Price, Jagger May, and Andrew Mott are breaking down their composite top ten running backs in this year's NFL Draft class. Spoiler alert: there's one unanimous number one, a clear top tier, and then a whole lot of questions. Jeremiyah Love is the unanimous RB1 in this class and it isn't close. The crew compares him to Bijan Robinson as one of the best receiving backs any of them have scouted. Behind him, Mike Washington Jr., Jadarian Price, and Jonah Coleman form a clear second tier, though the hosts admit Washington carries the highest ceiling while Price offers the safest floor. Coleman's refusal to test at the combine left Garret scratching his head, dropping him from RB2 to RB4 on his personal board. From RB5 on, this class is defined by uncertainty. Emmett Johnson boasts elite underlying metrics including a 39% Dominator Rating, the highest of any back discussed, but his combine testing raises red flags. Nick Singleton has the tools but not the technique. Kayron Allen, Le'Veon Moss, Demond Claiborne, and Jadyn Ott each carry their own unique set of questions, making this a draft class where landing spot and opportunity could matter more than prospect profile.
