Fantasy Football Rookie RBs Destined For Committees In 2024

Most analysts said the 2024 running back draft class was not the strongest. A year after both Bijan Robinson and Jahmyr Gibbs went in the top 12, no running back went in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft.  However, plenty of talented backs were still selected in this year's draft. Jonathon Brooks was […]

Fantasy Football Rookie Spotlight: Jalen McMillan

The Washington Huskies had three of their receivers drafted in the top 100 picks of the 2024 NFL Draft. Since professional football lacks the developmental and minor leagues, rookies hope to make an impact in Year 1 or 2. Since the Huskies had three legitimate receiving options paired with Michael Penix Jr., there could be […]

How Rookie WRs Impact Their Team's Depth Chart In 2024 Fantasy Football: Round 3 Picks

Third-round rookie wide receivers have not panned out to be solid fantasy football contributors in their first year. None of the nine wide receivers selected in the third round of the 2021 and 2022 NFL Draft did much as rookies. However, last year, managers saw Tank Dell and Josh Downs become solid fantasy options after […]

How Rookie WRs Impact Their Team's Depth Chart In 2024 Fantasy Football: Round 2 Picks

Every year, there are second-round rookie wide receivers who turn into solid fantasy options right away.

Fantasy Football Rookie Spotlight: Brenden Rice

It's cool to see children of former athletes reach the professional level, especially when it involves high-end to elite athletes like Jerry Rice.

NFL Rookie Avoids for 2024 Fantasy Football (Premium Content)

Rookies are extremely important in fantasy football. In dynasty leagues they ARE the draft and in re-draft leagues, they can be season-defining draft picks or waiver wire pick-ups.

Fantasy Football Undrafted Wide Receiver Rookie Sleepers (2024)

Rookie fever is in full force. Although fantasy football drafts still have a few months to go, best ball is well on its way.  Two things are common this time of year.

Fantasy Football Rookie Spotlight: Ray Davis

The Buffalo Bills selected Kentucky running back Ray Davis with the 128th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. He became the eighth RB taken off the board behind Texas' Jonathon Brooks, Florida State’s Trey Benson, Michigan’s Blake Corum, USC’s MarShawn Lloyd, Tennessee’s Jaylen Wright, Oregon’s Bucky Irving, and Clemson’s Will Shipley. During the predraft […]

Fantasy Football Rookie Spotlight: Ja'Lynn Polk
