It is NFL draft week and before landing spots and draft capital are locked in, it's always a helpful exercise to combine all previous positional rankings (available below) and see where they stack up heading into the draft.
There are two separate rankings tables here — one for one-quarterback leagues and another for superflex/tight end-premium leagues.
There aren’t going to be specific write-ups on each player within this piece, but there is much more context provided on why I like or dislike each player in the individual rankings articles (see below), as well as links to a lot of the data and research done on each positional class for these 2024 rookies.
Pre-draft rookie rankings with player blurbs and data can be found here:
- Pre-draft fantasy rookie quarterback rankings
- Pre-draft fantasy rookie running back rankings
- Pre-draft fantasy rookie wide receiver rankings
- Pre-draft fantasy rookie tight end rankings
1-QB PPR pre-draft rookie rankings
There is a chance that landing spots and draft capital could be disastrous for the running back position in this year’s draft, which is going to hurt their potential fantasy value and push them further back in these post-draft rankings. Caleb Williams and Jayden Daniels likely become more enticing in that scenario as potential high-end fantasy starters for years to come, even in one-QB leagues.
Superflex (2QB)/tight end premium pre-draft rookie rankings
Superflex/two-quarterback leagues are naturally going to push up the value of that position where a lot more go in the first round of rookie drafts than in typical one-quarterback leagues. As a result, there is an argument for Caleb Williams and/or Jayden Daniels to be the first two picks in rookie drafts, but feel free to draft based on team need here as well. If fantasy managers have multiple viable starters at quarterback, then there is still no better pick than Marvin Harrison Jr., and there is always the option to trade back if the deal makes sense.
Tight ends also get a bump here with the premium put on the position which often offers at least a half-point more per reception. Brock Bowers is another legitimate top-three option in this scoring format depending on team needs so address those needs as you see fit.
