Now that the regular season is over, it's time to get obsessed with the dynasty off-season once again. Although it's probably best to wait until the NFL playoffs are finished, a ton of people are joining some new dynasty startups. As one of those people, I'm going to give you my guide to what the first six rounds of your dynasty startup draft should look like. For this mock, we'll be assuming the league is a Superflex, PPR, 1.5 tight end premium, start ten league.
One of the most important things to note in your startup is draft for value. You don't have to put a starting lineup out until August, so don't even keep that in mind. The draft below is where the best value is at every single dynasty startup pick right now.
From what I've seen so far, I don't see anyone else on the internet who has put specific rookie picks into their rankings. That doesn't make much sense to me because knowing the specific pick is much more helpful than just the standard early, mid, or late rankings. If you have any questions about my research for these mock draft rankings, I used advanced premium stats from Fantasy Data, PFF, TeamRankings, etc, and film from All-22.
