THE MODEL

Every player is scored on three pillars:

  • Pulse (50%) - Recent performance from NFL play-by-play efficiency metrics
  • Age (25%) - Youth premium with position-specific aging curves
  • Opportunity (25%) - Volume stats, games played, roster status, and role

1QB applies a 0.85x QB multiplier - skill positions dominate these rankings.

TIER 1: THE ELITE (1-10)

1.Puka NacuaWR, LA95.4

Elite production with a 95.3 pulse, at 24 years old.

4.Jahmyr GibbsRB, DET92.1

Elite production with a 92.3 pulse, at 24 years old.

24.Tetairoa McMillanWR, CAR78.1
25.Colston LovelandTE, CHI77.9

Colston Loveland at 21 is the youth asset to target. Christian McCaffrey is still producing at 29 but dynasty managers should be looking to sell. Kyle Pitts and Brock Bowers and Tyler Warren and Tucker Kraft and Colston Loveland show the TE position has real dynasty value.

50.Hunter HenryTE, NE71.6

Harold Fannin at 21 is the youth asset to target. Dallas Goedert is still producing at 31 but dynasty managers should be looking to sell. Dalton Kincaid and Jake Ferguson and Dallas Goedert and Harold Fannin and A.J. Barner and Oronde Gadsden and Juwan Johnson and Hunter Henry show the TE position has real dynasty value.
