Sleeper up to $100 Deposit Match

Idk about you, but I’ve been using the Sleeper app for years now. They’re, by far, my favorite app to use for dynasty football.

Their PICKS feature is pretty cool, too.

Just select players and make your picks (more or less) on the entry slip. Once you've chosen at least 2 players, it's good to go. Play pre-game or in-game contests with picks available anytime from NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, college teams, and more.

Make the right picks and you could win up to 1000X your cash.

And now for a limited time, new customers will get up to a $100 Deposit Match when you use code: PULSE

📈 Risers & 📉 Fallers:

The tribe has spoken. Jayden Daniels got 58.82% of the votes in last week’s rankings poll. Seems like most of us are in agreement with the consensus #2.

Spoiler alert: he’s still there this week, too, after updating our consensus rankings on Monday.

Now, let’s dive into this week’s biggest risers and fallers from the past week:

📈 Risers:

  • +5 📈 Kaleb Johnson (95 ➡️ 90)

    • Kaleb moved up 5 spots and surpassed Matthew Golden (94) in the rankings. That makes Kaleb the new 1.11 in our rookie draft rankings with Golden flipping to 1.12

  • +7 📈 DJ Giddens (185 ➡️ 178)

    • He’s up 71 spots in the rankings since early March and now sits at the 3.03 in our rookie rankings. Will be interesting to see if his NFL landing spot pushes him up to the late 2nd.

  • +6 📈 Justin Fields (101 ➡️ 95)

    • Fields cracked the top 100 and now sits as QB27 in our consensus dynasty superflex rankings. That’s a late 8th round pick in startup drafts. What’s your take on Fields for this upcoming season? Vote below 👇️

📉 Fallers:

  • -4 📉 D'Andre Swift (112 ➡️ 116)

    • A lot of rumors about the Bears taking Jeanty or another 1st round RB this week. No bueno. This ranking could continue to fall post draft.

  • -5 📉 Luther Burden (76 ➡️ 81)

    • This flipped him below Shedeur in our rookie rankings. Burden now sits at the 1.10 slot for our rookie draft rankings.

  • -3 📉 Brandon Aiyuk (97 ➡️ 100)

    • Aiyuk has fallen -32 spots since early March. A quick google search on his injury status shows: “His return timeline is still uncertain, with a potential mid-season return being discussed.” Could be an interesting buy-low if you can afford to stash him on your bench. Most Aiyuk managers are probably losing patience.

Check out the fully updated rankings below — now with a new look and mobile-friendly!

  • Milroe averaged 16 fantasy points per game from rushing production alone in his final year at Alabama

  • His rushing production ranks 25th-best among all FBS QBs in the last decade, surpassing Jayden Daniels' 15.4

  • Daniel Jeremiah notes Milroe potentially has the highest upside of anyone in this draft class

  • While considered raw as a dropback passer, Milroe is praised for his big arm and exceptional speed

  • Skattebo joined Christian McCaffrey as one of only three RBs since 2015 to accumulate 1,500+ rush yards and 500+ receiving yards in the same season

  • His 1.95 yards per route run led all Power 5 RBs in 2024

  • Skattebo recorded 1,202 yards after contact in 2024, one of only three Power 5 RBs to exceed 1,000 yards after contact

  • Travis Hunter is described as a unicorn-type player who insists on playing both sides of the ball at the NFL level, even stating he'd never play football again if forced to choose a position

  • The article suggests Hunter would be best suited as a receiver, comparing his potential to Malik Nabers-type talent on offense

  • Hunter made big-time plays at Colorado and took no plays off, though questions remain about his ability to play both ways in the NFL

  • Luther Burden is viewed as having the highest potential in the draft class, combining receiver skills, route running, hands, speed, and burst

  • Analysts note Burden's production suffered in Missouri's offensive scheme but expect him to excel at the NFL level

  • Experts suggest Burden could thrive in a Kyle Shanahan-style offense as a Deebo Samuel-type hybrid player

  • Recommended landing spots include the Commanders, Texans, Broncos, 49ers, or Titans, while Browns, Patriots, or Panthers are considered less ideal fits

  • Finished as Penn State's all-time leader for tight ends in total touchdowns (25), receptions (153), receiving yards (1,839) and receiving touchdowns (19)

  • Excels as both a receiver and blocker, with ability to line up in-line or in slot position

  • Drawing comparisons to a young Travis Kelce, particularly in his ability to exploit zone coverage

  • Expected to be selected in the middle portion of first round, with Indianapolis, New York Jets, and Atlanta Falcons as potential landing spots
