Shawn Siegele discusses rankings and tiers for 2025 dynasty superflex rookie drafts and proposes scenarios for maximizing your total haul.

The RotoViz TriFlex leagues and regular FFPC dynasty leagues begin their rookie drafts on Saturday morning. In this exercise I work through projected rookie draft slots and help subscribers navigate individual player tiers to create the most total value and best address team needs.

This article is meant as a companion to my tiered, post-draft rookie rankings, and Vol. 3 of the RotoViz Rookie Guide (which also includes a $30 coupon toward an RV subscription). Join us for the Dynasty Workshop and elevate your play.
