The overwhelming majority of the Dynasty Fantasy Soccer analysts I’ve come to know in my time within the trade favor tiers to rankings. We imagine they’re extra indicative of actuality, versus linear rankings, and they’re extra useful for Fantasy managers. Some managers really feel the identical, however the different factor most Fantasy analysts know is that rankings are nonetheless king. Individuals need a solution after they ask, “Bucky Irving or Jonathan Taylor?” Even when one of the best reply is: “they’re in the identical tier.” This month as we head ever nearer to point-scoring season in Dynasty leagues, I’ve determined to offer you each. Beneath you’ll discover up to date rankings and tiers for the working again place.
The largest leaps on the working again place this month come from TreVeyon Henderson, Braelon Allen, Trey Benson, and Isiah Pacheco. If you wish to accuse me of affirmation bias in shifting Henderson as much as RB5, I would not protest an excessive amount of. He was my second favourite again in an elite 2025 class, and every thing that has occurred since has made me really feel higher about it. Henderson has drawn rave critiques from everybody who has watched him observe, and his elite expertise have proven all through the playoffs, beginning along with his 100-yard kickoff return. He is nonetheless not made his approach into Tier 1, however I would not be terribly stunned if he provides us a month of RB1 manufacturing and that modifications.
Allen and Benson have each benefited from constructive camp stories and assertions from their crew that they may see extra work than final yr. I preferred Benson extra as a rusher coming into the league, however Allen’s 2025 function ought to be greater barring harm, and he’s two years youthful. His redraft ADP is skyrocketing, and your estimation of his Dynasty worth ought to be as properly. I nonetheless like Breece Corridor extra, and am nonetheless shopping for him in Dynasty, however Allen may earn a workhorse function in 2026, and he’ll nonetheless be simply 22 years previous then.
If Henderson’s rating is a case of affirmation bias, Pacheco’s is the other. I’m slowly coming round on stories that his explosiveness is again to his pre-injury stage. I’m nonetheless unsure he’s greater than a low-end RB2, and his long-term future is murky at greatest, however Pacheco earned his transfer again into the highest 25.
Whereas many of the rookies are rising this time of yr, Cam Skattebo and Dylan Sampson are two who went the opposite course. Skattebo’s harm appears to have solidified Tyrone Tracy (one other August riser) because the Giants RB1, and I hate it when rookies miss coaching camp reps. Sampson is damage by the truth that Quinshon Judkins may very well be signing his rookie contract any day now. I’m nonetheless more likely to be forward of consensus on Skattebo and Sampson, however their worth has positively taken a success.
