Draft Nerds 
NerdHerd 
Welcome to our latest 1QB Dynasty Rookie Mock Draft, where we give our usual forward-looking evaluations on the talent eligible for the 2027 NFL Draft. This time, however, there’s a twist! That’s right. We are pairing our breakdown of every draft selection with a question ranked using the official Dynasty Nerds Isaiah Likely-O-Meter.
Now, for those who don’t know how the Isaiah Likely-O-Meter works, it’s named after New York Giants tight end Isaiah Likely. Why? Because his last name is Likely, of course! It uses a scale ranging from 1 being the “most unlikely” to 10 being “solid, guaranteed lock.”
If we’re talking about a quarterback, the meter may use quarter points.
Tight ends? We like to keep those tight, so only full points allowed.
For running backs, we use half-points, like halfbacks.
Finally, we’re wide open for wide receivers, so any decimal works!
We hope you enjoy this take on a 2027 1QB Rookie Mock Draft.

2027 1QB Rookie Mock Draft
1.01 | Jeremiah Smith | WR | Ohio State | 6’3” | 223 lbs
Steven Pintado – “Jeremiah Smith will end up being a 1st round pick in start up drafts.”
Isaiah Likely-O-Meter: 8
Unless something dramatic happens, Smith has a chance to be a top-10 dynasty startup pick. We are talking about a 21-year-old receiver who has dominated college football since stepping onto the field. Looking at some of the top receivers in the league right now, few had the combination of production and upside that Smith has shown in college. Expect him to be a top-10 startup pick and the 1.01 in most rookie drafts. This kid has the potential to be a generational-type dynasty asset.
Smith broke out immediately in college with two straight 1,000-yard seasons and is already on track to make it three after a big start in Weeks 1 and 2. Smith has a complete skill set with speed and strength. At 6’3″ and 223 pounds, he looks almost unstoppable to guard. At this point, he is likely going to be a top-five pick in the 2027 NFL Draft.
1.02 | Cam Coleman | WR | Texas | 6’3” | 204 lbs
Mike Johrendt – “Cam Coleman will still lead the Texas passing attack, even with Ryan Wingo’s growing role.”
Isaiah Likely-O-Meter: 7
Of the two NFL Draft prospects at receiver for the Longhorns, Cam Coleman has been the one receiving the most hype, and rightfully so. His fluid route running and wingspan stand out in a stacked WR class, and Coleman finds himself frequently mentioned in the second WR tier, below OSU’s Jeremiah Smith.
But for the Texas offense, both Coleman and Wingo will have important roles to fill this year as Arch Manning’s top targets. Wingo was Manning’s clear favorite target in Week 1, but Coleman had two of his three catches go for touchdowns, showing that he can be the high-value target for Manning inside the 20s. While Coleman’s 3 receptions for 35 yards in Texas’ comeback win in Week 2 doesn’t do much to help him, he is still the best pass catcher the Longhorns have.
1.03 | Kewan Lacy | RB | Ole Miss | 5’11’’ | 205 lbs
Bobby Bishop – “Kewan Lacy will be the RB1 in the 2027 NFL Draft.”
Isaiah Likely-O-Meter: 6.5
There are several talented running backs in this draft. I think Jadan Baugh and Ahmad Hardy (once healthy) will be the biggest contenders for the RB 1 slot, but Kewan Lacy has what it takes to earn the top slot. Out of that trio, Lacy’s skillset is the most aligned with the ideal modern day running back. He can catch the ball, and he is incredibly elusive. Get Lacy the ball in space, and he will make things happen.
The 2026 season didn’t get off to the best start for Lacy. He picked up a thigh injury Week 1 against Louisville and missed the second half. Fortunately, Lacy bounced back and was able to play Week 2 against Charlotte. He put up pretty solid numbers, 13 carries for 87 yards and 2 touchdowns. In reality, all that matters is that Kewan Lacy becomes (and stays) healthy.
1.04 | Jadan Baugh | RB | Florida | 6’1’’ | 225 lbs
Keith Ensminger – “Jadan Baugh will break Florida’s single-season rushing record of 1,599 yards, currently held by Emmitt Smith since 1989.”
Isaiah Likely-O-Meter: 5
Consider that Jadan Baugh has already been mentioned in the same breath as Emmitt Smith at Florida, and one’s imagination starts to wander. Breaking a nearly 40-year-old record held by a NFL Hall of Famer seems like a daunting task, but with a 12 game regular season and the likelihood of a bowl game to follow, that gives Baugh 13 games to rush for an average of 123 yards per game. Although the brutal reality of SEC conference play hasn’t set in yet, Baugh is currently ahead of the pace he’ll need.
The early part of the 2026 college football season has impressed with big performances from many of the big names we’re excited to draft next offseason. Count Baugh in that group. Not only does he have good acceleration, but he has good hands to help add fantasy points through the air. Although he may not be in the same tier of player as recent picks like Ashton Jeanty or Jeremiah Love, Baugh has the potential to be the first running back taken in the 2027 NFL Draft. Can he get bumped into that elite tier if he lights up SEC competition? With matchups against several top-10 opponents like Georgia, Texas, and Ole Miss, the door is open for Baugh if he can kick it down.
1.05 | Ryan Coleman-Williams | WR | Alabama | 6’0” | 182 lbs
Doc Mitchell – “Ryan Coleman Williams can re-establish himself as the second WR in this deep class.”
Isaiah Likely-O-Meter: 7
Coming off one of the best freshman seasons ever for an Alabama WR, Ryan Coleman-Williams was considered to be of an equal caliber to stud Ohio State WR Jeremiah Smith. There is a reason they both donned the cover of the NCAA Football game. Talent has never been an issue for this dynamic playmaker. That being said, he clearly suffered a sophomore slump season. With the departure of Germie Bernard, Coleman-Williams will once again be the engine that drives the Bama passing game. He has the talent and a very good chance to regain his former position on the leaderboard.
Coleman-Williams is a bit skinny, but he is silky smooth. He brings a ton of speed to the table. He reminds me an awful lot of his former Crimson Tide alum De’Vonta Smith. Reports out of spring practice have been positive, and he began the year with a bang. Week 2 was a bit quieter, but he helped lead the Crimson Tide to a hard-fought victory over SEC rival Kentucky. He will need to address a few drops, but plenty of WRs have done so in the past. I look for him to have the best season of his collegiate career. I love his chances of making some big noise in the SEC this season.
1.06 | Charlie Becker | WR | Indiana | 6’4” | 208 lbs
Taylor Christianson – “Charlie Becker will break the Indiana University record for touchdown receptions in a season.”
Isaiah Likely-O-Meter: 8.17
The Hoosiers are rolling and Charlie Becker has been a major reason why. Through the first two weeks of the season, he has five receiving touchdowns. The record for touchdown receptions in a season for IU is 16 by James Hardy (2007). With no signs of slowing down and plenty of football left to play, Becker only needs a dozen more touchdowns to break the record. Josh Hoover is a talented enough QB to get him there, so barring injury, I think Becker will do it.
As a prospect, Becker is a long WR with a huge catch radius. He knows how to go down and get it off the turf, but can high point the 50/50 balls as well. Becker has above-average play speed—especially for his size. While he may be the WR4 in this mock draft, I like Becker more than the any of the WRs we had in the 2026 NFL Draft. The depth of the 2027 class can’t be overstated at this stage in the process. (Until we find out who’s staying in school.)
1.07 | Ahmad Hardy | RB | Missouri | 5’10” | 210 lbs
Steven Pintado – “Will the delay to the start of his season hurt his draft?”
Isaiah Likely-O-Meter: 3
We all know that Ahmad Hardy was involved in an off-the-field incident that resulted in an injury, and he has yet to play through the first two games of the season. The coaching staff wants to see him practicing at full speed before putting him back on the field. While Hardy could need a few games to knock off the rust, he really just needs to be ready by Oct. 10. That starts a brutal stretch against Texas A&M, Texas, Ole Miss and Georgia. If Hardy can get healthy by then and dominate against that level of competition like he has in previous seasons, he should be just fine when it comes to his draft stock.
Hardy has been excellent through his first two years in college football. He is a physical runner who produced more than 1,200 yards after contact last season. His ability to run through tackles and force missed tackles consistently shows up on film. While he hasn’t shown much as a receiver, he is a force to deal with on the ground. As long as Hardy can get back on the field in 2026 and remind everyone of the player he has been, he has first-round rookie draft talent written all over him.
1.08 | Nate Frazier | RB | Georgia | 5’9” | 206 lbs
Mike Johrendt – “Can Nate Frazier rack up 15+ rushing TDs for Georgia this year?”
Isaiah Likely-O-Meter: 8
The Georgia Bulldogs have sent plenty of RBs to the NFL over the years, as the likes of Knowshon Moreno, Sony Michel, and Nick Chubb have had solid NFL careers. Nate Frazier is looking to be the next one in that line, and so far his nose for the end zone has helped solidify his case.
Looking like a Day 2 pick in the 2027 NFL Draft as it currently stands, Frazier has had 40 percent of his carries (through 2 games) go for touchdowns. The 2026 season marks the third consecutive year for Frazier to have an important role out of the UGA backfield, and while his role in the receiving game (29 career receptions through 2+ seasons) has a lot left to be desired, his work on the ground puts him in the running for a first-round selection in 2027 rookie drafts.
1.09 | Nick Marsh | WR | Indiana | 6’3’’ | 210 lbs
Bobby Bishop – “Nick Marsh will end up as a 1st Round pick, despite being the second best receiver on his team.”
Isaiah Likely-O-Meter: 7.93
Despite a lack of volume, it’s impossible to say that Nick Marsh has been disappointing so far in his Indiana career. He has 2 touchdown catches. Week 1, Marsh brought down a ridiculous 1 handed catch. This week against Howard University, he blew by the defense for a 51 yard touchdown. I really want to see Marsh get used more as the season goes on. He has just 4 catches total. Indiana has plenty of high leverage games ahead of them for Marsh to prove himself.
When I watch Marsh play, I see so much A.J. Brown in his game. His physicality and agility are very reminiscent of the elite Patriots receiver. Based on his talent level and how I expect him to test at the Combine, I can’t imagine him slipping too far into the second round (if at all). Nick Marsh is definitely a player to keep an eye on in a deep-and-talented 2027 draft class.
1.10 | Jamari Johnson | TE | Oregon | 6’5’’ | 255 lbs
Keith Ensminger – “Jamari Johnson will be the first tight end taken in the 2027 NFL Draft.”
Isaiah Likely-O-Meter: 8
In a class which looks chock-full of quarterbacks, running backs, and wide receivers, the tight end position doesn’t look quite as deep. Jamari Johnson’s primary competition for TE1 in the class is LSU’s Trey’Dez Green, and I see Johnson as the more complete NFL tight end. Players at Green’s size (6’7’’) often don’t translate in the NFL, and I think Johnson is at least on par with former teammate Kenyon Sadiq who was drafted in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft.
Johnson is the prototypical athletic tight end we like to see on our dynasty rosters. He has good hands and wins contested catches, and he is versatile in where he can line up. As the NFL moves more and more to 12 personnel, I think Johnson will be a much-sought after piece in 2027 rookie drafts. As everyone races to find mock draft homes for the well-known names in this class who play more popular positions, don’t sleep on the top names at tight end. Like Sadiq, Warren, and Loveland before him, Johnson is going to be drafted higher than we are projecting now in our 2027 rookie drafts.
1.11 | Mark Fletcher Jr. | RB | Miami | 6’2” | 225 lbs
Doc Mitchell – “Mark Fletcher will be a Day 2 pick in the 2027 NFL Draft.”
Isaiah LIkely-O-Meter: 6
This one gave me some real pause. I really like Fletcher as a prospect; he is big and physical, the type of RB that NFL teams love to lean on. In fact, I believe that NFL teams are starting to shift back to bigger backs as an answer to the two-high safety look. Multiple TEs and a 225 lb runner like Fletcher can punish smaller defensive units. No matter how much I like him, this is a DEEP class. I can’t say with confidence that Fletcher will be able to go in the first three rounds of the NFL Draft.
Despite my hesitancy to give him a better shot of being a day-two pick, I truly believe in this guy’s talent. He went on an absolute tear in the college football playoffs last season. His efficiency wasn’t quite there in the first week of the season, but brighter days are ahead for this punishing ball-carrier. The Hurricanes have the look of a dangerous team, and Fletcher will absolutely have a chance to shine with defenses having to pay close attention to Malachi Toney. He proved that in Week 2 by exploding for over 100 yards on less than 10 carries. Can you say explosive? The November showdown with Notre Dame will likely have a massive effect on his eventual draft stock.
1.12 | KJ Duff | WR | Rutgers | 6’6” | 225 lbs
Taylor Christianson – “KJ Duff will be the highest-drafted Rutgers prospect of all time.”
Isaiah LIkely-O-Meter: 1.10
There is a non-zero chance that Rutgers star WR, KJ Duff, is selected as a top 10 player in the 2027 NFL Draft. The highest draft selection for Rutgers currently is Anthony Davis, who went 11th overall in 2010. I’m not predicting it to happen, but Duff has the athletic profile at a premium position that some NFL teams covet. If a WR-needy team misses out on Jeremiah Smith and Cam Coleman, Duff could be the WR3 for the right (or wrong?) GM.
Regardless if Duff goes top 10, he has a great chance at being the highest-drafted WR from Rutgers. Kenny Britt was selected 30th in 2009. At Duff’s size, with his fluid movements and change of direction, he’s a quarterback’s best friend. He’s determined as a run blocker and isn’t afraid to go across the middle of the field. Not many “tall” WRs have panned out at the NFL level, but Duff looks like a clear outlier. NFL GMs love physical traits and you can’t teach 6’6” height. Someone will take him in the 1st Round.
2.01 | Ryan Wingo | WR | Texas | 6’1” | 210 lbs
Steven Pintado – “Ryan Wingo will shine all season alongside Cam Coleman.”
Isaiah Likely-O-Meter: 7
The easy answer is that I believe Wingo can shine. We’ve already seen games this season where Wingo out-targeted Coleman. The ascension of Arch Manning should allow two receivers to dominate in this offense. Wingo has enough upside that he could enter the Round 1 conversation in non-Superflex leagues and become an early second-round pick in Superflex leagues if everything hits right this season.
At the start of Round 2, we are still able to select great talent with Ryan Wingo. The Longhorn receiver has a unique ability to produce with the ball in his hands. His 447 yards after the catch show how important it is to get the ball in his hands and let him work in space. Even with his speed, Wingo also has solid size at 6’2″ and 214 pounds, allowing him to get physical with defenders when needed.
2.02 | Isaac Brown | RB | Louisville | 5’9” | 190 lbs
Mike Johrendt – “A sub-par start to the 2026 season will limit Isaac Brown’s NFL potential.”
Isaiah Likely-O-Meter: 6.5
It has been a season to forget so far for Isaac Brown in 2026, as Brown’s first 2 games of Louisville’s season have resulted in a 3.3 yards-per-carry average and no touchdowns. While a healthy usage of 32 touches across 2 games shows that he is still their top back, questions are starting to arise regarding his impact at the professional level.
Brown is a strong runner with explosiveness for days, but he hasn’t been able to put his athleticism on full display so far this year. A positive to Brown’s slow start is that his usage has been better than last year, as his highest-usage game in 2025 was 18 touches, while he has already recorded a 19-touch game in 2026.
2.03 | Trey’Dez Green | TE | LSU | 6’7’’ | 237 lbs
Bobby Bishop – “Trey’Dez Green will be the consensus TE1 in 2027 Rookie Drafts.”
Isaiah Likely-O-Meter: 6
I think the battle between Jamari Johnson and Trey’Dez Green will be close, but I view Green as the better fantasy tight end at the moment. I think Johnson is the more complete tight end, and he will likely get drafted higher than Green. The correlation between total routes run and fantasy points has traditionally been strong with tight ends. Green is going to run routes. You aren’t drafting him expecting him to block. Green is a wide receiver who happens to be in the body of an NBA power forward.
Green wasn’t really needed much in LSU’s domination of Clemson in Week 1. He only had 4 catches for 58 yards. However, in Week 2, he caught 6 balls for 104 yards and a touchdown. Green is the type of player who is truly a mismatch. Cornerbacks and safeties are often too small to cover him. Linebackers are often too slow. He is a unique prospect who may just end up as a fantasy cheat code.
2.04 | Bryant Wesco, Jr. | WR | Clemson | 6’2’’ | 195 lbs
Keith Ensminger – “Between his injury history and Clemson’s offensive woes, Bryant Wesco Jr. will fall to Day 3 of the 2027 NFL Draft.”
Isaiah Likely-O-Meter: 5.0001
The Likely-O-Meter score for wide receivers is wide open, right? Like the entire Clemson offense, you never know what to expect. So, I’m going for just a smidgen above 50/50 on this prediction. I really like Bryant Wesco, but it’s hard to shake the stink that is Clemson’s passing attack. Does he have the talent to be a Day 2 pick in the Draft? Absolutely! Will he get enough production to elevate the opinion of scouts above others in this talented class?
Like many Clemson wide receivers who played before him, Wesco is a professional wide receiver-in-waiting. He tracks the ball exceptionally well, winning with good footwork and route running. This all said, Wesco will also have to overcome a checkered injury history to warrant being drafted highly, and that’s often a checkbox we as fans aren’t privy to until the draft process is over.
2.05 | Arch Manning | QB | Texas | 6’4” | 225 lbs
Doc Mitchell – “Despite this being a 1QB draft, Arch Manning will still be a 1st-round dynasty pick in a stacked class.”
Isaiah Likely-O-Meter: 6.5
At the beginning of last season, Arch Manning was looked at as one of the best QB prospects we have seen in recent memory. He is big and physical with a pedigree that is beyond question. Normally in a 1QB league, this position tends to slip to the 2nd round just like I snagged him here in this draft. However, Manning brings the mobility to make this better than a 50/50 proposition of happening in my opinion. When QBs combine the rushing and passing upside, they are basically unicorns in the dynasty community. Just look at the consistent value that players like Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, and others bring to the table.
Despite his slow start to last season, Manning managed to turn things around toward the end of the year. He even chose to remain in school when he had the opportunity to enter last year’s class in a weaker crop of signal callers (at 6’4” and 222 lbs). He presents a much different athletic profile than his uncles. He almost has the looks of a modern NFL linebacker. If you drop him on an offense like the Cleveland Browns with weapons like KC Concepcion, Denzel Boston, and Harold Fannin Jr., supported by a running game featuring Quinshon Judkins, it could be the recipe that Browns fans have been praying about for decades. He showed in a gutsy win against Ohio State that even if he struggled early in a game, he has the heart to bring it home in the 4th quarter with ice water in his veins.
2.06 | Mario Craver | WR | Texas A&M | 5’9” | 180 lbs
Taylor Christianson – “Mario Craver will become a fantasy-viable starting WR for an NFL team.”
Isaiah LIkely-O-Meter: 5.9
In a field full of giants, Mario Craver stands just tall enough to make you wonder. There’s a real chance that he could rack up fantasy points on Sunday as a team’s second or third target. If he has a role and the play caller wants to get him involved, Craver has the necessary skills to produce in the pros. However, in a class with so many elite-sized WRs, will Craver get a fair opportunity?
Mario Craver hasn’t been needed much so far this season. He has a touchdown in both games played and he’s averaging 9.4 yards per reception. Nothing too flashy, but consistently involved. As Texas A&M continues to face stiffer opponents, it’ll be good to see what Craver puts on tape. If he can consistently get the upper hand on larger DBs, he could be the zig to other GM’s zags during the NFL Draft. If so, he could land a flex-worthy role as an offense’s change-of-pace playmaker.
2.07 | Omarion Miller | WR | Arizona St. | 6’2” | 195 lbs
Steven Pintado – “Miller’s negative traits will cause him to lose value as the season goes on.”
Isaiah Likely-O-Meter: 6
Miller got off to a great start in Week 1, but he still has some questions he’ll need to answer. He has dealt with some drop issues and lacks the consistent ability to create separation, although that isn’t as big of a concern because of his contested-catch success. His limited upside could also be a concern, but this season will give Miller the opportunity to prove he can be a true WR1 for an offense and continue pushing his draft stock higher.
Arizona State’s Omarion Miller is your prototypical outside receiver who can play the X or Z. He has the ability to win 50/50 balls and physically dominate his defender. He can also be a major red-zone threat after scoring eight touchdowns last season. Despite his late-career breakout, Miller has been rising up draft boards and could end up as a late second-round pick in rookie drafts while hearing his name called in the middle rounds of the NFL Draft.
2.08 | Dante Moore | QB | Oregon | 6’3” | 210 lbs
Mike Johrendt – “Dante Moore will still be the 1st QB off the board in the 2027 NFL Draft.”
Isaiah Likely-O-Meter: 3
What looked like an easy QB1 race has tightened, as Dante Moore’s hold on the top spot in the 2027 QB class has gone from a foregone conclusion to an unlikely result. Having returned to school after factoring into the QB1 race in this past April’s NFL Draft, Moore has produced two turnover-free games so far this year but has looked a bit up-and-down in the process.
Moore excelled against Boise State, throwing for 378 yards and completing over 75 percent of his passes, but struggled in a shocking road loss to Oklahoma State. Fighting Arch Manning, LaNorris Sellers, CJ Carr, Darian Mensah, Drew Mestemaker and others for the QB1 honors, Moore is the most pro-ready prospect of the bunch but needs to clean up his game if he wants to claim the QB1 spot. As of right now, after two weeks, Moore is not looking like the same QB that was in the running for the first overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
2.09 | Nyck Harbor | WR | South Carolina | 6’5’’ | 239 lbs
Bobby Bishop – “Nyck Harbor will have the best WR RAS of all time.”
Isaiah Likely-O-Meter: 9.99
Relative Athletic Scores (RAS) are profiles that utilize NFL Combine/pro day scores with height and weight to create one cumulative number. In my opinion, Nyck Harbor will finish with the best score of all time. He is an insane athlete who topped Bruce Feldman’s 2026 “Freaks” list 3 out of the last 4 seasons (ranked 3rd in 2025). Harbor is a talented trackstar who continued to run in college. He finally quit track to focus on football, and I believe we will see dividends this season.
Harbor has grown at the position every year. With 5 stars and 40 offers, Harbor could have went almost anywhere in the nation. Many teams wanted him as an edge rusher, but Harbor was set on playing wide receiver at the next level. The choice is finally paying off as he’s improved as a catcher of the football and a route runner each season. The stats won’t jump off the page so far as South Carolina played Week 2 in a rainstorm, but Harbor will be a rising prospect this season.
2.10 | Cooper Barkate | WR | Duke | 6’1’’ | 195 lbs
Keith Ensminger – “Cooper Barkate is just a product of Darian Mensah’s ability.”
Isaiah Likely-O-Meter: 2.71828
Barkate is much more than just a Mensah Member! Following a transfer from Duke, all eyes in Miami have been on Darian Mensah and wunderkin wide receiver Malachi Toney, but don’t sleep on others in the supporting cast of Canes. Cooper Barkate comes to town with Mensah after finishing with back-to-back 1,000 yard seasons at Harvard and Duke. It’s often tough to separate the production of a wide receiver from the superstar quarterback, but I think Barkate has the tools to be any signal caller’s best friend.
Although he lacks elite speed and athletic testing numbers, Barkate is a reliable receiver who wins with reliable hands and route-work. He’ll never be a team’s WR1, but he should provide a solid and consistent floor week-to-week. If he finds his way onto a high volume passing team, then all the better for his production. In a class full of athletic freaks, there will still be players like Barkate taken for their short area skill set.
2.11 | LJ Martin | RB | BYU | 6’2” | 225 lbs
Doc Mitchell – “LJ Martin will finish in the top 5 rushing nationally and enter the NFL as a Day 2 Pick.”
Isaiah Likely-O-Meter: 6
This one was kind of tough. I look at Martin and my earlier pick, Mark Fletcher Jr., in something of a similar light. Fletcher is unquestionably the better runner. The thing that makes Martin stand out is his ability in the receiving game combined with his big body and a powerful zone running style. Most people likely haven’t seen many of Martin’s games given that he plays at BYU. But last season in the Big-12, Martin was the engine that powered the Cougars offense. He had a chance to come out last year in a weaker class but chose to go back to college for one final season. You don’t often find players with that size and skill set.
Martin got off to a quality start despite not putting up really big numbers. There was simply no need to risk their top-end weapon in a game against Utah Tech. He still displayed a powerful running style combined with soft hands. In his first contest, he averaged 7.7 ypc and reeled in a nice catch. Week 2 saw him up his totals while still maintaining excellent efficiency as he helped lead BYU over conference rival Arizona. For a late pick in the 2nd round, I believe few offer this type of upside. When I watch Martin play, I am reminded of a young Ryan Matthews.
2.12 | Cam Cook | RB | West Virginia | 5’9” | 203 lbs
Taylor Christianson – “Cam Cook will finish with 300 carries in his senior year.”
Isaiah Likely-O-Meter: 7.5
Halfback means half points and Cam Cook might seem like a half pint when he’s squirting through offensive lines, but upon closer inspection, you’ll find he has decent mass for a ball carrier and can be effective at grinding yards. After toting the rock 295 times last season, he seems primed for another heavy workload in 2026. Cook has 40 carries through the first 2 games and the competition should increase in difficulty.
I’m not condoning 300-touch seasons for incoming NFL rookie RBs. There’s something to be said about fresh legs at the professional level, but with Cook, it’s more about proving he can do it. At his size, durability isn’t a question and that’s key in today’s fantasy landscape. The best ability is availability and Cam Cook could find himself available and on the field on Sundays. (Nod to Bobby Bishop for putting Cook on my radar in his Risers & Fallers article.)
Conclusion
If there is one thing that ranks as a 10/10 lock on the Isaiah Likely-O-Meter, it’s that the Dynasty Nerds team will be right here by your side all season long. Stay tuned in with us all season long as we watch the ebb and flow of this much-discussed, long-awaited 2027 rookie draft class.
