2026 Fantasy Football NFL Rookie News and Outlooks

Jeremiyah Love, RB, Notre Dame

Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love is ESPN's consensus No. 2 prospect, and he ranks high on the Tennessee Titans' draft board, team sources told Turron Davenport. The Titans have the fourth overall pick in this year's NFL draft, and Love may have cemented himself as a top-five pick after running the 40-yard dash in just 4.36 seconds at last week's scouting combine.

"Anytime you can get a running back like that, especially a three-down running back, that can play in the pass game as well and be able to take over a game, you've seen guys in the league now that can do that," Titans general manager Mike Borgonzi said when being asked about taking a RB in the top five.

Only three RBs have been taken in the top five since 2013. Love is being compared to the Lions' Jahmyr Gibbs and Bills' James Cook, which doesn't make it a surprise why he's the No. 1 prospect for a lot of analysts. The 20-year-old should have a big role immediately in the NFL and will be in play as the second pick in rookie-only drafts this fall, behind only Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza.

Ty Simpson, QB, Alabama

Because Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson is considered more of a developmental QB prospect in this year's NFL draft, he is viewed as a "potential fit" for the Los Angeles Rams and head coach Sean McVay, according to Jeff Howe of The Athletic. Simpson is largely viewed as a "second-round prospect who will likely be taken somewhere in the first round" this year. The 23-year-old is a "high-level processor who wins before the snap" with lots of intangibles, but durability and "shortage of starting experience are concerns."

Simpson would be an ideal fit for a team like the Rams, who could coach him up and develop him for a year or two while he learns behind 2025 MVP Matthew Stafford. Although Simpson probably isn't going to be starting in Week 1 of his rookie season, he'd definitely be in the conversation as a first-rounder in rookie-only fantasy drafts this fall if he fell to a team like the Rams. Simpson threw for 3,567 yards, 28 touchdowns, and five interceptions in 15 games for Alabama in 2025.

Kevin Coleman Jr., WR, Missouri

Missouri wide receiver Kevin Coleman Jr. had a modest performance at the NFL scouting combine, trying to sneak into the conversation as a potential Day 2 pick. Most mock drafts seem to have Coleman being selected on Day 3, and he likely needed a better Combine to significantly bump up his projected selection. In the end, Coleman had a 4.49-second 40-yard dash (24th out of 34 wide receivers) and a 10-foot, six-inch broad jump (18th out of 25 wide receivers). He ranks as the #41 rookie in RotoBaller's latest superflex dynasty leagues for football in 2026. The stats are a little more encouraging, as Coleman finished the year with 732 yards and nine touchdowns. He is a projected fourth-round pick and, at best, will be an end-of-draft option for many dynasty managers.

Denzel Boston, WR, Washington

Washington wide receiver Denzel Boston chose not to participate in most testing at the NFL Scouting Combine. Boston opted out of major drills, such as the 40-yard dash, and was only evaluated in the 20-yard shuttle and vertical jump. He finished the shuttle drill in 4.28 seconds, ranking third out of seven wide receivers. Meanwhile, his 35" vertical jump ranked 21st among 30 receivers. Draft critics seem to have mixed opinions on whether Boston should have completed more drills.

On one hand, he posted a great stat line of 881 yards and 11 touchdowns in college last season, which could speak for itself -- or at least provide a lot more context than an individual Scouting Combine drill. On the other hand, for a healthy player without top-tier status, participating in more tests could have boosted his status among teams that weren't previously sold on him. For what it's worth, Boston still ranks as the #2 wide receiver and #5 prospect in RotoBaller's latest superflex rookie rankings for 2026.

Jadarian Price, RB, Notre Dame

Notre Dame running back Jadarian Price put together an impressive performance at the Scouting Combine ahead of next month's NFL Draft. He finished with 21 reps in the bench press, which ranked fourth-most among running back prospects, and his 4.36-second 40-yard dash time ranked second. These results follow an impressive NCAA season that saw Price post 674 rushing yards, 87 receiving yards, and 13 total touchdowns.

He has a nose for the end zone and averaged 6.0 yards per carry, showcasing a blend of scoring and yardage efficiency that should set him up for success in the NFL and in fantasy football. A potential second-round pick in the NFL Draft, Price ranks as the #31 running back in RotoBaller's latest fantasy football rankings for 2026.

Chris Bell, WR, Louisville

Louisville wide receiver Chris Bell (knee) said last Friday that he is on track in his recovery from a torn ACL that he suffered on Nov. 22 of last year, and he should be able to take part in training camp this summer, according to Jeff Legwold of ESPN. Bell went through medical evaluations at last week's NFL scouting combine but didn't take part in any workouts and is not expected to have a pro-day workout before April's NFL draft.

He said he's been cleared by Dallas Cowboys team physician Dr. Dan Cooper, who performed Bell's surgery. Mel Kiper Jr.'s No. 11 WR in this year's draft class will begin running this week. Despite coming off a torn ACL, the 6-foot-2, 222-pounder could come off the board in the second round of this year's NFL draft because of his size and speed combination. Bell tallied 72 taches for 917 yards and six touchdowns in 2025 in his final season at Louisville.

Eli Stowers, TE, Vanderbilt

Vanderbilt University tight end Eli Stowers set the all-time NFL Draft combine vertical jump record at his position by leaping 45.5 inches. Stowers also led all tight ends in the broad jump with a mark of 11'3". Stowers, who will turn 23 years old in April, began his college career as a quarterback at Texas A&M.

After a brief stop at New Mexico State in 2023, Stowers finished his career with two productive pass-catching seasons at Vanderbilt. Across 12 games with the Commodores in 2025, he hauled in 62 receptions for 769 yards and four touchdowns. Stowers projects as a likely day two selection in the upcoming NFL Draft. He may not land in a fantasy-relevant role as a rookie, but Stowers' dynasty value should be marginally improved by his impressive athletic testing at the combine.
