Dynasty Fantasy Football Rankings - October 2026
The Process
Dynasty Fantasy Football rankings can be interpreted in many ways. Right now and during the season they will be focused on winning championships without destroying long-term value. In the spring these rankings will be ranked as if we are using them for a start-up draft. During the winter these rankings will reflect trade value with a scaled 3-year outlook.

Dynasty Becomes Redraft During the Season
Many dynasty fantasy football players forget that the entire objective of playing this game is to actually win championships. Dynasty addicts can become more interested in building their teams for the long term and forget this is really a week-to-week kind of game. We are not going to throw caution to the wind, but we need to keep our eyes on the prize.
Dynasty Fantasy Football Rankings
When examining these dynasty fantasy football rankings take into consideration that we are looking at positional ranks, not flex or overall rankings. Rookies will be added periodically, with most being added after the NFL Draft. The emphasis on scouting for rookies is one of the most exciting parts of dynasty fantasy football. Preparing for rookie drafts is an integral part of team management in a dynasty league. A major influence on a rookie’s value is draft capital and the situation of the team that drafts him.
Quarterback
When ranking quarterbacks for dynasty fantasy football we can take a VERY long-term outlook (5-10 years) while factoring what type of QB we are examining. We always want a QB that is going to give us a nice rushing floor, but we must keep in mind that rushing production is also the first thing that fades away as players get older.
Running Back
Dynasty Fantasy Football rankings for running backs aren’t very different from regular season rankings, although we tend to devalue running backs over 25 years old. Running backs tend to get injured more often than other positions and when an older RB gets injured it tends to be career ending or marks a sharp decline in production. In 2024 we saw a counter argument for this philosophy, but it was likely an outlier year, we shouldn’t expect the trend to continue. As soon as a running back turns 26 years old we will consider them to have a 1-year window.
