2024 Fantasy Football Dynasty Rookie Rankings For Superflex Leagues: 10-1

Now that we’re coming off our rookie fever, it’s time to see where the newest NFL players stack up against the veterans. That’s right, we’re talking rookies and dynasty rankings.

My name is Ellis Johnson and this is my sixth year writing NFL content with RotoBaller. In this article, I am going to list my personal rookie rankings from 10 to 1, as well as where they stand in my dynasty rankings. I also recently wrote an article for a three-round rookie mock draft for a 10-team Superflex league which you can find here.

Out of all fantasy formats, dynasty is the most subjective. Every manager weighs age, talent, and landing spot differently when evaluating players. In the end, every league has its market values for players, making no one set of rankings perfect. Having said that, here are my rankings.

• 2025 fantasy football rankings (redraft)
• Dynasty fantasy football rankings
• 2025 NFL rookie fantasy football rankings
• Best ball fantasy football rankings
• Quarterback fantasy football rankings
• Running back fantasy football rankings
• Wide receiver fantasy football rankings
• Tight end fantasy football rankings

10. Jonathon Brooks (RB, CAR)

Positional Ranking: 14. James Cook (BUF), 15. Jonathon Brooks (CAR), 16. Rachaad White (TB)

I think Brooks is a very safe rookie draft pick. If you are picking this low, you likely are only a piece or two away from competing, which makes Brooks even more valuable. The first question is if you believe in the new Panthers this season. After addressing their offensive line and adding a lot of offensive talent, it’s enticing to “buy low” into this offense.

Brooks was my favorite back in this class and immediately stepped into a potential workhorse role. With Sherwood Park, Canada native Chuba Hubbard in a contract year and this team having buyer’s remorse over Miles Sanders, this backfield is primed for the taking. Plus, Brooks’ pass-catching prowess fits Bryce Young’s dynamic perfectly. I think Brooks is a lot like Najee Harris and could be the perfect steady piece for a contending team. 

Don’t worry, I didn’t forget that he tore his ACL. However, I wanted to leave that to the end because I don’t think it impacts his long-term outlook. Maybe he starts the year slower than he should, but by Week 3 he should be just fine.

9. Brock Bowers (TE, LV)

Positional Ranking: 4. Dalton Kincaid (BUF), 5. Brock Bowers (LV), 6. Mark Andrews (BAL)

This is as low as I can place a talent like Bowers. However, if the contending teams are holding these late first-round picks, I can easily see him sliding and becoming the perfect pick for a rebuilding team at the 2.01.

I’m projecting a similar start to Bowers' career as Kyle Pitts. Although that may deter many fantasy managers, he is an outstanding prospect in a situation that is ready to start building around him. We only have one or two more years of Davante Adams and Jakobi Meyers, which opens the door for Bowers to be the top option in a few years.

This team will also try and find its franchise QB over that stretch, ideally making Bowers start being a consistent fantasy producer in a year or two. Having said that, he’ll still flash and could become a top-12 option as a rookie, but his true potential upside will likely be hidden for his first few years.

8. Drake Maye (QB, NE)

Positional Ranking: 19. J.J. McCarthy (MIN), 20. Drake Maye (NE), 21. Kirk Cousins (ATL)

Do I think Maye is the better prospect than McCarthy? Yes. Usually, I don’t like factoring in situations over talent; however, when the situation seems like a perfect fit, it’s hard to have McCarthy below Maye. 

Maye has all the attributes to be an above-average NFL QB for years to come. Although the Patriots are not the best landing spot, I think it’s important to note that for the first time in two decades, we have a different regime. As a result, what we think we know about the Patriots may have nothing to do with who they are this season. QBs are gold, and Maye could be a great value due to the Patriots carrying the Mac Jones baggage. 

7. J.J. McCarthy (QB, MIN)

Positional Ranking: 18. Bryce Young (CAR), 19. J.J. McCarthy (MIN), 20. Drake Maye (NE)

McCarthy may not have the fantasy ceiling as Drake Maye, but his production will be immediate. McCarthy is in a perfect spot, with the talent surrounding him and a skill set that perfectly fits Kevin O’Connell’s scheme. 

Over Kirk Cousins' last three seasons on the Vikings, he averaged over 18 fantasy points per game. For perspective, that’s the same as C.J. Stroud last year. McCarthy won’t be as prolific as Cousins, at least in his rookie season, but the path is there to have a fringe top-10 QB for years to come. 

6. Xavier Worthy (WR, KC)

Positional Ranking: 20. D.J. Moore (CHI), 21. Xavier Worthy (KC), 22. Jaylen Waddle (MIA)

I love Worthy as a player. Yes, he has NFL-breaking speed, but he is also a better WR than people think. If you forget his record 40-yard dash time and watch his highlights, you’ll be impressed with his fluid route running and ability to create separation.

He now steps into a role with the best QB in the NFL throwing him the ball. Plus, the pass-catching situation is very ambiguous around him. It was reported that the Chiefs are expecting Rashee Rice to miss a significant portion of the season, which lines up with their trade-up to draft Worthy. Additionally, Travis Kelce’s new deal is more of a one-year deal with the option for a second season, and Marquise Brown is only on a one-year deal.

Not only do I believe Worthy has a massive opportunity to produce immediately, but he also has a clear path for increased involvement as soon as next season. I’m telling you that he is more of a complete WR than people think, and he is in the perfect situation to produce for fantasy.

5. Rome Odunze (WR, CHI)

Positional Ranking: 18. D.K. Metcalf (SEA), 19. Rome Odunze (CHI), 20. DJ Moore (CHI)

Odunze is a really interesting prospect. Not only is he an athletic monster, but he also is one of the only players to participate in all of the NFL Combine drills. I believe as a top prospect in this class, that says a lot about who he is as a person. He also landed in a very intriguing situation where Caleb Williams has a bright future and the team is loaded with talent.

Unfortunately, that’s where my dynasty philosophy drops him a little in my rankings. I try to view dynasty in a 2-3 year window. I find projecting further than two years to be unreliable as the NFL is constantly changing. 

Even though I love Odunze as a prospect, he is behind two star NFL WRs in Keenan Allen and DJ Moore, as well as a solid receiving TE in Cole Kmet. Allen is on a one-year deal, which opens the door for Odunze to become the team’s second option.

Although possible, it’s a big ask to think he will overtake Moore as the top option. Plus, we are banking on Williams to support two top fantasy WRs. Once again, this is all possible, but for me, I like the mix of talent and opportunity of Worthy over Odunze.

4. Jayden Daniels (QB, WAS)

Positional Ranking: 13. Jared Goff (DET), 14. Jayden Daniels (WAS), 15. Brock Purdy (SF)

Daniels is primed for a massive fantasy impact. He is often hyped due to his rushing ability. Although he is a great rusher, it’s his pocket passing that I believe is the best part of his game. His rushing ability often overshadows his passing ability in fantasy leagues, but this guy can huck. He is now passing to Terry McLaurin and Jahan Dotson, who create a formative duo. Plus, Kliff Kingsbury, a known passing enthusiast, is their offensive coordinator. 

Daniels is primed to make an immediate fantasy impact. The only concern is if he can stay healthy, but it’s never fun predicting injuries. He’s a slam dunk at 1.03 or 1.02 if you are a QB-needy team.

3. Malik Nabers (WR, NYG)

Positional Ranking: 7. Garrett Wilson (NYJ), 8. Malik Nabers (NYG), 9. Brandon Aiyuk (SF)

Nabers is electric. The only issue is he is linked to a shaky Giants team and Daniel Jones for at least one year. If you can overlook that or somewhat believe Jones is a decent QB (I’m guilty of that), Nabers is a smash pick. His ability to make defenders miss and find separation on all of his routes is elite. 

This team has a weird amount of slot WRs and limited competition on the outside. I expect Nabers will be moved all over the formation and will be by far the top target all season long. Even if you don’t believe in the team, this is the perfect talent > situation pick.

2. Marvin Harrison Jr. (WR, ARI)

Positional Ranking: 3. CeeDee Lamb (DAL), 4. Marvin Harrison Jr. (ARI), 5. Amon-Ra St. Brown (DET)

I know there are a lot of great QBs in this draft; however, even in a Superflex league, MHJ is that dude. Like Williams, MHJ goes to the perfect landing spot. Immediately, he is catching passes from a top-15 QB with limited outside options. We have seen Kyler Murray hyper-target his top options and support WR1 performances from DeAndre Hopkins and, at times, Marquise Brown. There are never “can’t miss prospects”; however, Williams and Harrison are about as close as it gets.

1. Caleb Williams (QB, CHI)

Positional Ranking: 8. Justin Herbert (LAC), 9. Caleb Williams (CHI), 10. Kyler Murray (ARI)

Everyone is probably tired of hearing Williams’ name at the top of rookie lists. However, if that’s the case, I encourage you to watch his highlights. This guy is electric. His ability to create plays and manipulate defenses makes him one of the best QB prospects in recent memory. Now, he goes to a team that has done everything right to create a supporting cast where he will flourish. Don’t overthink this one; even if you are set at QB, you can’t pass up a player like this.
