If you're in a dynasty league or you're already thinking about 2026 fantasy football, you're in the right place. Because no matter what type of fantasy football league you're playing and rookies will have a ton of impact and oftentimes can help you actually win your league. So in this video, we're going to be ranking the top 12 rookies for the 2026 season right now before the NFL draft. And we'll start with a guy who's in a tier of his own. Jeremiah Love, the running back from Notre Dame, he is going to be the Consensus 101 in any type of format, whether you're playing in a Dynasty League, a Super Draft League, multiple quarterback, whatever it might be, he should be the number one pick. This is a guy who just has everything. He's a true three down back. He's six foot, 214 pounds. Okay, now we're recording this before the NFL Combine.

0:39.3

If he does indeed test or do multiple tests at the Combine,

0:42.1

it's expected that those should be pretty damn good.

0:44.3

His production was absolutely ridiculous during his time at Notre Dame.

0:48.1

As you could see right here over the past two seasons,

0:50.1

okay, 2024, a very strong seven yards per attempt, 19 touchdowns, 1100 yards, goes back in less games in 2025 and out produces that with almost 1,400 rushing yards while still having seven yards per carry.

1:03.6

21 touchdowns adds 280 receiving yards.

1:06.4

He had an 11% target share out of the backfield, meaning he saw 11% of Notre Dame's targets.

1:11.4

Anytime you're a running back around like 7 or 8% that's good. Once you get to 10 plus like he did last year, you're a solid pass catching back. This is the exact profile you're looking for if you're an NFL coach, if you're an offensive coordinator, if you're a GM trying to establish a run game. As you can see right here from Ray GQ's tweets, Ray Garvin, he says Jeremiah Love, every 15-yard touch from 2025, he ended up ranking in this draft class for 2025, which again, it's not the greatest, or I should say for the first time, not the greatest running back draft class, but he easily ranked number one in EPA efficiency per touch. He averaged seven and a half yards per attempt, number one,

1:44.5

16.2% chunk gains. So his explosive runs were number one. As a receiver, his EPA per target,

1:50.7

efficiency per target was number one. Ability to break tackles was top three over the past two years

1:55.8

with Genti and Scataboo. So what this is looking at is from this class, 2026, and dating back to last year25, when Ashen Gentie was a top 10 pick, when Cam Scadaboo was a highly talented prospect in that draft class, he was basically number one amongst all of these guys. Beating out Ashen Genti in a lot of those categories, I would say, Jeremiah, I love similar, if not better prospect, than Gentie. Now, he did start the season pretty tough. He only had 59 total yards against Miami, only 33 rushing yards. Obviously Miami would go on to be one of the best teams playing in the college football final as well against Indiana. So this is a spot where, okay, this doesn't look as bad when you consider what he does the rest of the way, right? He goes on to face some top ranked teams in the nation.

2:34.8

Texas A&M, 94 yards in a touchdown with his receiving production, he goes over 140 total yards.

2:40.6

USC, another ranked team absolutely dominates them at this point. 228 rushing yards in that game

2:47.0

scores a touchdown. Let's go to another ranked team, rank team right Pittsburgh a somewhat big rival for

2:51.6

Notre Dame these days although I would say Notre Dame people would say they're not as much of a rival

2:55.2

147 rushing yards 20 more in the air so he goes for over 150 total yards I mean this is a guy who

3:00.6

in these games against top competition is not only showing that he can carry big workloads of 20

3:05.3

plus carries and put up big production, but also remain

3:07.7

efficient while still averaging like six yards per touch and explosive plays. And the perfect example

3:11.6

of his explosiveness and how he can do it as a true workhorse back, three down back, and carry

3:16.5

25 times, or just break the game open on a couple of carries. Against Syracuse, eight carries,
