The NFL Draft was filled with surprises this year. In all honesty, a lot of what happened was…gross…for Fantasy Football purposes. Therefore, it is important to analyze positive landing spots for Fantasy Football, which we can apply to our Dynasty Fantasy Football Rookie Drafts. Here are eight of my favorite sneaky good landing spots from the 2026 NFL Draft,
What!? Your fantasy football league wasn’t hosted on Fantrax this season!? Once you see how Fantrax stacks up to the competition, we think you’ll be singing a different tune next season.
2026 NFL Draft: 7 Sneaky Good Landing Spots for Dynasty Fantasy Football
1. Carson Beck (QB, Cardinals)
2023: 3,941 passing yards, 24 TDs
2024: 3,485 passing yards, 28 TDs
2025: 3,813 passing yards, 30 TDs
Career: 288 rushing yards, 7 TDs
Carson Beck is a 6’4”, 233 lb QB who has started the last three seasons, with two at Georgia before finishing up at Miami. Beck’s final game was a trip to the National Championship. Beck has NFL prototype size, experience playing in plenty of big games, works through his progressions well, and consistently delivers catchable balls. Beck has a quick release but can let it rip when the opportunity presents itself.
Draft Capital: Round 3 – Pick 65
Carson Beck lands a huge opportunity with the Cardinals via the third round. Jacoby Brissett is the assumed starter, but has been looked at as a bridge quarterback for the future. That future could certainly be Carson Beck.
Beck may not get field time as a rookie, especially with the combination of Jacoby Brissett and Gardner Minshew rostered. But Beck could learn and develop in his rookie season, possibly get a look at the end of the season, and then become the future starter. Beck should be appealing in Dynasty Super Flex leagues with an argument to be made in the second round of those rookie drafts. A long-term attachment to Trey McBride, Marvin Harrison Jr., and Jeremiyah Love is a solid future.
2. Drew Allar (QB, Steelers)
2023: 2,631 passing yards, 25 TDs
2024: 3,327 passing yards, 24 TDs
2025: 1,100 passing yards, 8 TDs (6 GP in 2025)
Career: 732 rushing yards, 12 TDs
Drew Allar is a 6’5”, 228 lb QB out of Penn State who suffered a broken ankle in 2025, which shortened his season. Allar has an NFL prototype frame/size and has a strong, NFL-ready arm. Allar has experience pushing the ball downfield, and he can truly rip it. Allar has made use of his legs when needed and has had some big games under his belt against good competition.
Draft Capital: Round 3 – Pick 76
Drew Allar lands in a favorable opportunity with the Steelers via the third round. The Steelers will move forward with a core of DK Metcalf, Michael Pittman Jr., Pat Freiermuth, Rico Dowdle, Jaylen Warren, and rookie Germie Bernard. The QB situation is in question with the possibility of Aaron Rodgers returning for another season and the depths of Will Howard and Mason Rudolph rostered.
Allar has an opportunity to be the future QB1 for the Steelers. If he capitalizes on this opportunity, he will be in line for that role, but that possibility should be very appealing in Dynasty Super Flex leagues. Allar could be a sneaky future starter.
3. Nick Singleton (RB, Titans)
2022: 156 ATT, 1,061 rushing yards, 12 TDs
2023: 171 ATT, 752 rushing yards, 8 TDs
2024: 172 ATT, 1,099 rushing yards, 12 TDs
2025: 123 ATT, 549 rushing yards, 13 TDs
Career: 102 receptions, 987 yards, 9 TDs
Nicholas Singleton is a 6’0”, 219 lb RB out of Penn State who had solid collegiate production while splitting time with fellow 2026 NFL Draft prospect Kaytron Allen. Singleton has an explosive downhill speed. Singleton has great acceleration to get outside and runs with power. Singleton is a dangerous pass-catcher, and the career receiving total speaks volumes. Singleton also has special teams abilities that can be appealing at the next level. Singleton fractured his foot at the Senior Bowl, but should be healthy coming into NFL camp. While Singleton did not have the flat rushing numbers Allen did, he does offer a different explosive skillset.
Draft Capital: Round 5 – Pick 165
The Titans may have been sniped by the Cardinals in Round 1 for Jeremiyah Love, but they were able to grab Nicholas Singleton in the fifth. Singleton joins Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears, who are set to be free agents in 2027.
Singleton brings a dynamic skill set to a rising young Tennessee offense. There is a path for him to be the team’s RB1 after the 2026 season, pending what they decide about Pollard and Spears. That has huge Fantasy Football implications in itself.
Singleton could fight for touches in his rookie season, but with his potential future role, he should be valued highly in rookie drafts.
4. Kaytron Allen (RB, Commanders)
2022: 167 ATT, 867 rushing yards, 10 TDs
2023: 172 ATT, 902 rushing yards, 6 TDs
2024: 220 ATT, 1,108 rushing yards, 8 TDs
2025: 210 ATT, 1,303 rushing yards, 15 TDs
Career: 70 receptions, 490 yards, 4 TDs
Kaytron Allen is a 5’11”, 216 lb RB who finished as the All-Time Rushing Leader at Penn State. Allen’s heavy college production came with him splitting work with fellow 2026 NFL Draft prospect Nick Singleton. Allen has solid size and balance through contact, paired with great vision and patience. Allen plays physically and grinds out those short-yardage gains. Allen’s production profile is extremely appealing. While he might not have the explosiveness you look for, he does have the proven yards and touchdowns upside with flashes of pass-catching potential.
Draft Capital: Round 6 – Pick 187
Kaytron Allen falls to the sixth round, but lands in a very appealing opportunity with the Commanders. Jacory Croskey-Merritt was a seventh-round selection last year, who led the team in rushing attempts with 175. Chris Rodriguez is a jaguar and had 112 rushing attempts. The Commanders also added pass-catching back Rachaad White via Free Agency.
The Commanders will be a committee in 2026, but I do believe Allen can beat out JCM as the early down back at some point. This could mean earning touches instantly as a rookie and having Fantasy relevance.
I was a big fan of Allen before the draft, and I love this landing spot in a truly murky, weaker RB room with Jayden Daniels and the Commanders. Allen remains a viable rookie draft sleeper.
5. Adam Randall (RB, Ravens)
2025: 168 ATT, 814 rushing yards, 10 TDs
Career: 84 receptions, 787 receiving yards, 5 TDs
Adam Randall is a 6’3”, 232 lb WR turned RB out of Clemson. Randall has a solid blend of size, speed, and dual-threat abilities. Randall’s receiving skills, as a former WR, out of the backfield, make him a mismatch at times. Randall has role and alignment versatility, making him a more well-rounded prospect even if he is still learning the position.
Draft Capital: Round 5 – Pick 174
Adam Randall lands in a favorable future position with the Ravens via the fifth round. Derrick Henry is 32 years old, with minimal years left of dominating NFL touches. The Ravens had the trio of Lamar Jackson, Zay Flowers, and Mark Andrews before this year’s NFL Draft, but selected Randall on top of Ja’Kobi Lane and Elijah Sarratt to add promising youth.
Randall could earn a pass-catching role sooner than later, similar to the way we saw Justice Hill utilized in 2024.
Randall also has a path to securing the RB2, handcuff role behind Henry, with the opportunity to be the team’s future RB1. Very appealing Dynasty outlook with patience.
6. Antonio Williams (WR, Commanders)
2022: 56 receptions, 604 receiving yards, 4 TDs
2024: 75 receptions, 904 receiving yards, 11 TDs
2025: 55 receptions, 604 receiving yards, 4 TDs
Career: 187 rushing yards, 2 TDs
Antonio Williams is a 5’11”, 187 lb WR out of Clemson, who was consistently productive when healthy. Williams has great run-after-catch abilities with solid vision once the ball is in his hands. Williams has shown the ability to work all levels of the field and can separate well as a route runner. He plays with a high motor and has had success against strong competition.
Draft Capital: Round 3 – Pick 71
Antonio Williams lands in a favorable situation with the Commanders via the third round. He could step into a meaningful role early, especially with Terry McLaurin as the primary option and a relatively open depth chart behind him.
Williams could earn a role in the slot or as a versatile weapon in the offense, providing immediate fantasy relevance in PPR formats. His ability to create after the catch and operate in space makes him a strong fit for modern NFL schemes.
There is also long-term upside if Williams continues to develop and carve out a larger role. With the potential to build chemistry with his quarterback and grow within the system, he could emerge as one of the more productive receivers from this class.
7. Chris Bell (WR, Dolphins)
2024: 43 receptions, 737 yards, 4 TDs
2025: 72 receptions, 917 yards, 6 TDs
Chris Bell is a 6’1”, 222 lb WR out of Louisville who is coming off an ACL tear from November of 2025. Chris Bell is a possession WR with a big, physical field presence. Bell progressively improved each season. Bell has downfield speed with catch-focus through contact and on his deep catches.
Draft Capital: Round 3 – Pick 94
Chris Bell lands in Miami via the third round, and they ultimately drafted three WR’s with Bell, Caleb Douglas (earlier in the third), and Kevin Coleman Jr. (fifth round). Bell was the highest-rated prospect by nearly all analysts of this group, but he is coming off an ACL tear.
The Miami landing spot was the most appealing for me, with new QB Malik Willis having the worst core for the position before the NFL Draft. The other WR’s beyond Bell may be insurance for him regardless of when they were selected, due to the injury.
Bell is a high upside WR that we may need to be patient with while he gets back to 100%, but he can be 100% worth it and turn into the WR1. Remember, this is Dynasty Fantasy Football in the end.
8. Skyler Bell (WR, Bills)
2024: 50 receptions, 860 yards, 5 TDs
2025: 101 receptions, 1,278 yards, 13 TDs
Career: 151 receptions, 2,138 yards, 18 TDs
Skyler Bell is a 5’11”, 192 lb WR who spent three seasons at Wisconsin before finishing his final two at Connecticut. Bell finished his college career with the fourth-most receptions, the second-most receiving yards, and third-most receiving touchdowns in the FBS. Bell can play both inside and outside with instant acceleration to break downfield. Bell is a threat at all three levels and can turn a short catch into a big gain. Bell has solid body control and can make difficult throws. Bell could have had an even bigger season if his QB play had been better.
Draft Capital: Round 4 – Pick 125
Skyler Bell lands in a great home with the Bills via Round 4. Bell joins newcomer WR1 DJ Moore, Khalil Shakir (recovering from an ankle injury), and Keon Coleman with the elite Josh Allen.
Bell may need to fight for a role in Buffalo, unless Shakir is not ready to start the season. I was a big fan of Bell’s profile, so a Dynasty attachment to Josh Allen is very appealing and worth a stash and wait. Bell is a proven volume receiver and can find a way to fit into a great Bills offense.
