2026 Fantasy Football NFL Rookie News and Outlooks

Jordyn Tyson, WR, Arizona State

With the 2026 NFL Draft right around the corner, Arizona State wide receiver Jordyn Tyson is expected to come off the board in the latter half of the first round. While Tyson's numbers dipped in his senior season with the Sun Devils, he still racked up 711 receiving yards and eight touchdowns on 61 receptions across nine games in 2025. Tyson recorded 18 touchdown grabs over his final 21 games in college and is known as a high-end contested catch threat.

Depending on where he ends up, Tyson could be an immediately impactful fantasy wide receiver in 2026, and he carries significant long-term upside as well. RotoBaller currently ranks Tyson as the WR33 for dynasty formats, right between Jacksonville Jaguars wideout Parker Washington and fellow 2026 draft prospect Makai Lemon.

Makai Lemon, WR, USC

USC wide receiver Makai Lemon ran his 40-yard dash for NFL scouts at his school's pro day on Thursday morning and was in the 4.48-second to 4.53-second range, according to Dane Brugler of The Athletic. Brugler adds that Lemon also ran routes for teams, but he didn't do any jump testing, shuttle, or three-cone drills. The 21-year-old chose not to do any athletic testing at the NFL scouting combine in Indianapolis at the end of February. He's one of the top receiving talents in this year's draft class and should be locked in as a first-round selection for a WR-needy team.

Lemon isn't among the fastest wideouts to make the leap to the NFL in 2026, but he still has enough skills to be worth consideration as a top-10 draft pick in April. He finished his final year with the Trojans in 2025 with 79 catches, 1,156 yards, and 11 touchdowns.

Garrett Nussmeier, QB, LSU

LSU quarterback Garrett Nussmeier came into the 2025 collegiate season with first-round buzz, but after a disappointing final season in the bayou, the 6'2", 203-pound gunslinger is working to separate himself from a cluster of Day 2 and Day 3 prospects in this year's NFL Draft.

Nussmeier showed well at the NFL Combine and was able to shed some light on the cloudy injury situation that impacted his senior season. The 24-year-old signal caller has above-average athleticism, and in a class with no clear standouts behind expected first overall pick Fernando Mendoza and potential first-rounder Ty Simpson, Nussmeier has the potential to be the third quarterback selected in April.

Zachariah Branch, WR, Georgia

Undersized Georgia wide receiver Zachariah Branch tested extremely well at the NFL Combine, running a 4.35 40-yard dash while his vertical and broad jumps reinforced the explosiveness shown on film. Working primarily out of the slot, his short arms and imprecise route-running led to a handful of off-the-mark targets in college, but he showed rare explosiveness with the ball in his hands.

Given his profile, he may find himself as more of a gadget player than an every-down receiver early in his career, contributing more as an NFL player than a fantasy asset. Branch is currently clustered with a large group of receivers in the second or third tier of this rookie class, and NFL draft capital should help to further clarify rookie draft rankings.

Chris Brazzell II, WR, Tennessee

Tennessee receiver Chris Brazzell II ran a blazing 4.37 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine after measuring in at 6'4". That rare combination of size and speed contributed to the types of downfield explosive plays that littered his senior film.

While the wide-open offensive scheme of the Volunteers has not always translated well to the NFL, Brazzell's traits are undeniable, and the fact that he was able to produce as a redshirt freshman at Tulane before his transfer is another feather in his cap. He has been on the rise throughout the pre-draft process, and he could work his way into the early parts of the Day 2 NFL Draft conversation.

Malachi Fields, WR, Notre Dame

Notre Dame wide receiver Malachi Fields measured in at over 6'4" and 218 pounds at the NFL Combine, and while he put up impressive numbers in the vertical and broad jumps, his 4.61 40-yard dash reinforced some of the slow releases seen on his tape.

The fifth senior has had an up-and-down pre-draft showing, consistent with some of the inconsistencies that marred his college career. He profiles as a physical boundary receiver who might struggle to create separation but will hold an advantage in most contested catch situations. After the top three receivers come off the board in rookie drafts, Fields could be in play in the next tier but will likely fall into the mid rounds.
