The 2022 NFL Draft class offered a plethora of talent that will help replenish dynasty fantasy football rosters. In dynasty rookie drafts, we ideally draft the best player available rather than targeting needs. Now is a great time to plug any roster holes through trades — especially as values have shifted a bit over the summer and we inch closer to training camp.
As such, here are my top-60 dynasty rookies heading into 2022 fantasy football. Make sure you check out my entire top-300 dynasty rankings. For more information on each of these rookies, as well as the ones who didn’t make the cut, check out PFF's 2022 NFL Draft Tracker.

Breece Hall leads the way due to a combination of talent and positional scarcity. He was the clear top option coming into the draft, as both his college production and athleticism pointed to a future three-down back. He was the first running back selected in the draft, and he landed in a favorable spot in New York. He should be the Jets' lead back in Week 1. New York was a top-eight team in run play percentage with a lead, so if the Jets' young players play well, Hall will get plenty of opportunities. This adds up to him not only being the best option long-term but also the consensus top option for the 2022 season.
