Welcome to the Dynasty Ratings Update. Each Week, Russell Clay sifts through the Dynasty Ratings/Rankings on the site and makes the necessary adjustments to keep subscribers up-to-date on the latest news and performances that shift the dynasty landscape. 

Rating Scale = 1-100 (1 being the lowest, 100 being the highest)

QUARTERBACK

Old Rating	Name	New Rating	Rating Change
92	Patrick Mahomes	93	1
82	Daniel Jones	84	2

Three months ago I would’ve laughed at you if you said that either of these QBs would be ready for week 1, but here we are. I cannot believe Daniel Jones is potentially starting in Week 1, but this is the reality. These guys are healing quicker and quicker, and while I do worry how this is going to work, It’s clear I’ve underestimated some of these injury timelines. While this is dynasty losing a season to injury is costly, but… what if they don’t miss the year you thought they were?

RUNNING BACK

OLD RATING	NAME	New Rating	CHANGE
80	Cam Skattebo	81.1	1.1
80	Jadarian Price	80.1	0.1
81	RJ Harvey	80	-1

Cam Skattebo is not a player I’m very interested in from a long-term perspective, but when you look at how they used him last year before the ankle injury, you’d be silly to ignore him from a short-term fantasy perspective. When I look at the list of guys around him, if he stays healthy for any reasonable period, he will outscore them from a fantasy perspective. Tyrone Tracy has been a consistent weapon for the Giants the last two years, but it was clear Skattebo was the featured weapon when healthy. RJ Harvey is a player I still like, and having him in the 80s shows that, but it’s becoming harder and harder to justify where I have him ranked. Harvey is still a high-upside player and someone with a very good prospect profile, but taking him over Price or Skattebo probably wouldn’t be something I’d do if you made me take a truth serum.

WIDE RECEIVER

OLD RATING	NAME	NEW RATING	CHANGE
90	Malik Nabers	93.5	3.5
82	Rome Odunze	83	1
76	Josh Downs	77	1
75	De’Zhaun Stribling	77	2
72	Chris Brazzell II	70	-2
74	Ricky Pearsall	68	-6

I’ll admit I wasn’t sure when Malik Nabers was going to come back this year, and the Softball video of him limping to first got me worried. However, the latest videos of him at training camp look vastly different and the reality he may comeback quicker than I expected is real. Nabers is a very special player and having him for a full season will elevate dynasty teams that could’ve struggled to contend without him. I think I speak for all of us in saying that Nabers having a long, healthy career is important to this generation of WRs.

I made a short video on Ricky Pearsall and the unfortunate side of NFL careers. Pearsall is essentially having the lowest range of outcomes result happen to him here and there isn’t much anyone can do about it. What does this mean for De’Zhaun Stribling? It’s unclear, but it’s certainly an opportunity for him to emerge that we need to take seriously.

It was announced today that not only did Chris Brazzell suffer a significant injury in training camp, but the 2026 third-round pick will also miss the rest of the 2026 NFL season. A season-ending injury in the first week of training camp is brutal and there’s no positive spin here. Brazzell was not going to be a guy to emerge into re-draft production this year with the guys ahead of him, but I did think he’d earn snaps and show the Panthers he was a valuable asset to grow on the offense with. We see this time and again, getting hurt as a rookie is a severe hindrance to NFL careers, but I hope he can make a full recovery.

TIGHT END

Rating	NAME	New Rating	Change
77	Eli Stowers	83	6
72	Eli Raridon	74	2

Stowers is likely to red-shirt this year, but again, truth serum taken, I’m taking him over a lot of the veterans in the range he’s going. Stowers has an enormous opportunity to emerge as an intermediate threat and take over the Dallas Goedert role in a year or two. While 2026 is basically a wash, Stowers has huge upside and is worth pursuing. Eli Raridon is making noise at Patriots camp, and considering the Patriots’ lack of youth on the roster at the skill positions, there’s plenty of opportunity for someone to emerge. In a TE class with immense options, Raridon is a great candidate and if you drafted him late in rookie drafts, things are headed in the right direction.
