Dynasty fantasy football startup drafts may look like regular fantasy drafts on the surface, but don’t let appearances fool you. Unlike in a redraft league, age is a major factor in dynasty leagues — and to a lesser extent in keeper leagues. If you have a startup draft coming up, you want a set of dynasty fantasy football rankings that takes a long view and prioritizes youth while still factoring in current skill and opportunity.
Below, you’ll find my updated top 100 dynasty fantasy football rankings for startup leagues, which you can also use as keeper fantasy football rankings. If you want a complete list, check out our fantasy football rankings tool. You can also take a look at my 2020 rookie fantasy football rankings and draft strategy for existing dynasty leagues that host an annual rookie draft.
