Here’s this week’s dynasty nugget from Ryan McDowell at Dynasty League Football.
The first big event of the NFL off-season has come and gone and dynasty managers certainly had a ton of information to take in as the 2025 NFL Combine took place last week in Indianapolis.
Whether you watched every minute of the NFL Network coverage or missed all the 40s and jumps, Dynasty League Football has you covered.
First, Rob Willette maintained an ongoing 2025 NFL Scouting Combine Blog, which is a great way to catch up if you missed any part of the weekend’s action. Here is Rob’s summary of what many dynasty managers considered the highlight of the weekend, the running backs blazing through their 40-yard runs…
After a down year at the position, running backs are back with a vengeance in 2025. At last year’s Combine, receivers stole the show, and backs could do so this year.
There is no need to spill much more ink on Ashton Jeanty. He is poised to be a high selection and an immediate RB1 in dynasty leagues. Behind him, Kaleb Johnson, Omarion Hampton, and TreVeyon Henderson are vying to be the second runner off the board, with each having a shot to go on Thursday evening. All could start from day one, replenishing the ranks at the NFL level.
We could see some strong testing at the position. Bhayshul Tuten could turn heads with his forty time. The former Virginia Tech Hokie and North Carolina A&T Aggie is an explosive runner who is more than just a speed merchant, having been very productive in the ACC the past two seasons. A late arrival to the draft scene, he is a player I will be watching very closely in Indianapolis.
As mentioned in the introduction, testing numbers can often be about hitting a certain number which allows teams to check off a box on their list of requirements. From a fan and dynasty manager perspective, it can often be about confirming what we saw in the field. Does perceived athleticism on the field translate to the Combine setting? Many backs in this class have upside; showcasing unexpected athleticism could create some shuffling in the ranks.
Next, the DLF team got together for a Post-Combine Superflex Rookie Mock Draft. Virginia Tech running Bhayshul Tuten was one of the stories of the week and he’s now an option in the second round.
2.11 – Bhayshul Tuten, RB
The story of the Combine, the little-known Tuten led his position in the 40 (4.32) and vertical (40.5”) and tied for the second-longest broad jump (10’10”). DiBari scooped up the riser at the end of the second round… “I was a Tuten guy before the combine, and after he blew the doors off the building with his performance, I’m shocked he was still available this late. I think he gets decent Day Two draft capital, to a team that needs a starter at the position, and we won’t see him go this late again.”
Finally, our first Post-Combine dynasty ADP data has been posted, which includes the 2025 rookie class. Here’s a look at the rookies who appeared inside the top-100 overall dynasty players.
