Article text

The NFL Draft is behind us, rookie drafts are taking place, and as dynasty managers we are looking ahead to the upcoming season. In our Dynasty Rookie Draft Post-Draft Update series, we break down all the incoming fantasy-relevant rookies, looking at their profiles and where they fit. The basis of the rookie profile involves the usage of STORM analysis, focusing on five key components: Situation, Talent, Opportunity, Risk, and Market. Situation Name: Nate Boerkircher Position: Tight End Pro Team: Jacksonville Jaguars College Team: Texas A&M via Nebraska Draft Status: Round 2, Pick 56 Boerkircher was the first domino to fall in what became a run on tight ends in the 2026 NFL Draft. In many ways, we should have seen it coming. Charlie Kolar got a significant contract in free agency, and while he is not a player fantasy teams pay much mind to, his on-field contributions have caught the league’s notice. Tight ends who can win in the trenches and offer value beyond the box score are in vogue right now. He joins a Jacksonville team that took a huge step forward in 2025, with new head coach Liam Coen delivering in his first campaign. They lost significant personnel to free agency this off-season, making Boerkircher as their first draft selection all the more surprising, but they clearly have a plan for how he fits into their offense.
