The NFL Draft is firmly behind us, and the majority of teams started OTAs this week. With the incoming class of rookies settling into their new roles and veterans returning to the team facility for the first time, let's take a look around the dynasty landscape and update my dynasty fantasy football rankings.

Dynasty Rankings Update: 2nd Edition

Range of Outcomes - Garrett Wilson

I have both Garrett Wilson (WR11) and Drake London (WR12) ranked as WR1s in my dynasty rankings. It's hard to believe both are entering Year 4 after being the top-two ranked wideouts in 2022 in our Rookie WR Model.

Both have topped 110 targets in each of their first three seasons, and each has amassed more than 3,000 total receiving yards. They each also finished as a top-12 wideout for the first time this past season.

Each is a legit, talented player.

The reason I bring them up this week is this—while I have them ranked as WR1s, they both have an uncomfortably wide range of outcomes. That reason rests solely on who will be throwing them the ball.

Let's start with Wilson. He'll be working with presumed Week 1 starter Justin Fields, who's on his third team in three years after spending his first three with Chicago and one with Pittsburgh. More of an effective rusher than a prolific passer, his career-highs in passing are 2,500 yards and just 17 TDs.

Wilson has already proven to be an alpha target-earner regardless of his quarterback play, so volume shouldn't be an issue. However, the quality of those targets and the overall effectiveness of the offense cast serious doubt on his overall upside.

Range of Outcomes - Drake London

Let's move over to London. He hasn't been quite the target-earner that Wilson has had and has lagged behind in receiving yards as well. That said, London is a talented player in his own right, as shown by his WR11 finish in 2024.

He'll be working with second-year QB Michael Penix, one of the biggest draft surprises a year ago. Penix sat behind Kirk Cousins (who is still on the roster, by the way) for most of last year before getting the start over the final three weeks.

In his three starts, Penix averaged:

• 245 passing yards
• 1 TD / 1 INT
• 14.9 PPR

It's a small sample size, but it's still not encouraging. If they are smart, the Falcons should make life easier on their pseudo-rookie by heavily leaning on Bijan Robinson out of the backfield. Penix is talented enough to make the necessary throws that should keep London a fantasy-viable option, but, as these sections are highlighting, his range of outcomes is heavily tied to how well Penix plays.

Both Wilson and London are young, talented dynasty assets. We could see their value fluctuate quite a bit in the weeks and months ahead based on the quality of their QB play. Keep an eye on each in case a buying opportunity presents itself.

George Pickens SZN

Here's some next-level, hard-hitting analysis for you. Here's how Dak Prescott has finished among all QBs over his last several seasons:

• 2018 - QB14
• 2019 - QB2
• 2020 - QB32
• 2021 - QB8
• 2022 - QB18
• 2023 - QB3
• 2024 - QB31

With that in mind, you already know Dak is due for a massive bounceback campaign in 2025, and one of the biggest beneficiaries of that is going to be newly acquired wideout George Pickens.

If you've seen any of Pickens' highlight-reel plays from the last few seasons, you know what type of player he is. He can go up and win a jump ball against anyone in the league, and he's going to feast playing opposite CeeDee Lamb.

Schematically, they align well. Pickens tends to dominate from the outside, whereas Lamb tends to do most of his damage from the slot.

Lamb and Pickens seem to be hitting it off well as teammates. They've publicly acknowledged that they view themselves as both being No. 1 options and that there isn't a one or two, or even a 1A/1B situation. I love seeing that camaraderie and swagger from two guys who can impose their will on opposing defenses.

I have Pickens ranked as a low-end WR2 (21), but assuming health for Dak and a relatively efficient offense for the Cowboys as a whole, he could climb a bit higher than that as soon as this season.

Browns QB Conundrum

All eyes are on OTAs over in Cleveland this week as the team (and dynasty managers) try to sort out Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett, Dillon Gabriel, and Shedeur Sanders.

Personally, I've been in the camp that Sanders is the most talented of the group and that it isn't particularly close. I'm choosing to ignore depth charts, contracts, and draft capital and believe that, in this situation, talent will win out.

If you need some offseason hype from a practice with no pads or defense, check out how Sanders did this week.

Anyways, to show you just how much media attention this is getting, we are now seeing QB Tracker stats at the end of each practice so we can see how each player's stats stack up against the others.

What a time to be alive.

I have Sanders ranked as my dynasty QB20, one spot behind Cam Ward. That might feel bold, but I think we'll look back and wonder how/why Sanders fell as far as he did. I'm excited to see how the rest of this offseason plays out, and dynasty managers should be paying attention as well.
