The startup draft in Dynasty fantasy football is pivotal; it can significantly alter a team's trajectory. As the draft progresses, standout players become scant, leading to a challenging selection process in the later rounds. However, potential gems often lurk among the uncertainty. This article highlights five players to consider for late-round steals that could yield substantial value, especially where others might have lingering doubts.

Rashid Shaheed of the New Orleans Saints is viewed as the clear second wide receiver behind Chris Olave but has demonstrated his potential through substantial target shares when healthy. Tight end Colston Loveland from Michigan is an emerging talent in a loaded class. Isaac Guerendo of the San Francisco 49ers presents a strategic addition, given Christian McCaffrey's injury history. Tank Bigsby offers exciting upside under a new offensive scheme with the Jaguars, and lastly, J.J. McCarthy of the Minnesota Vikings is a promising quarterback option with high rushing upside.
