Always consider your league size and scoring system when evaluating players. We believe the players mentioned below have great value relative to their ADP and are poised to have productive seasons. We hope this list is useful to you and we wish you the best of luck this season!Quarterbacks
Just as the NFL has elite quarterbacks, so does Fantasy. Although players like Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, and Joe Burrow have put up big numbers, there’s a lot of depth at the position this year, and good quarterbacks can be found in later rounds.Early Rounds
- Lamar Jackson, Baltimore Ravens: Coach John Harbaugh believes Jackson is one of the best passers in NFL history, and his running ability makes him one of the best fantasy quarterbacks.
- Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills: After winning the MVP and restructuring his contract, Allen seeks to repeat and even improve his incredible 2024 season.
Mid Rounds
- Baker Mayfield, Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Since arriving in Tampa, Mayfield has exceeded expectations, and the Buccaneers have assembled potent offensive options.
- Bo Nix, Denver Broncos: Nix is a better dual-threat than people realize, and he can score points with his legs as much as with his arm.
Late Rounds
- Drake Maye, New England Patriots: A bigger version of Bo Nix, with the mold of Josh Allen, Maye can score points through the air or on the ground.
- Michael Penix Jr., Atlanta Falcons: In his brief time at the end of last season, Penix proved he belongs. He is the quarterback of the future for the Falcons and will be a fantasy mainstay.
- Trevor Lawrence, Jacksonville Jaguars: Under new coach Liam Coen, Lawrence is in a position to reach his potential.
Running Backs
This year, selecting Bijan Robinson or Jahmyr Gibbs with the first pick could be justified. After a deep running back draft in April, this group has been boosted by a number of rookies who have the opportunity to make significant contributions in fantasy.Early Rounds
- Bijan Robinson, Falcons: Considered the number 1 pick.
- Jahmyr Gibbs, Detroit Lions: Gibbs could be the most dynamic offensive player in the NFL, as well as a touchdown machine.
- Chase Brown, Cincinnati Bengals: On a team that could be involved in high-scoring games, Brown can catch as effectively as he runs.
- Bucky Irving, Buccaneers: Irving emerged in his rookie year and took control of the Buccaneers’ number 1 running back position.
Middle Rounds
Field Yates: Fantasy managers are probably underestimating Isiah Pacheco
Contents
- Omarion Hampton, Los Angeles Chargers: Few coaches love to run the ball as much as Jim Harbaugh and Greg Roman, and Hampton is expected to be the lead running back.
- TreVeyon Henderson, Patriots: He demonstrated speed, agility, and big-play ability in the preseason and will be used in tandem with Rhamondre Stevenson.
- RJ Harvey, Broncos: Rookie running backs sometimes develop slowly in Sean Payton’s offense, but as the season progresses, Harvey should improve.
- Isiah Pacheco, Kansas City Chiefs: An injury derailed a good start to his 2024 season. Pacheco is healthy this year.
Late Rounds
- Jacory Croskey-Merritt, Washington Commanders: There is a lot of anticipation surrounding this seventh-round pick.
- Quinshon Judkins and Dylan Sampson, Cleveland Browns: One of Cleveland’s rookie running backs is expected to be a significant factor.
- Trey Benson, Arizona Cardinals: It’s time for last year’s third-round pick to prove he has a place in the Arizona offense.
- Jaydon Blue, Dallas Cowboys: Blue has elite agility and is expected to be a factor on third down.
- Bhayshul Tuten, Jaguars: The rookie is likely to contribute early and be consistent this season. He has too much speed not to.
- Will Shipley, Philadelphia Eagles: Shipley is a solid insurance policy for managers who have running back Saquon Barkley.
Wide Receivers
With the NFL’s reliance on the passing game, so many receivers have developed that this could be the deepest group of wideouts in fantasy history. There are contributors available at all draft levels, but especially at the highest ones.Early Rounds
- Ja’Marr Chase, Bengals: There’s no contractual drama this year, and the connection he has with Burrow is on another level.
- Amon-Ra St. Brown, Lions: Target machine who is as tough and reliable as anyone.
- Nico Collins, Houston Texans: When healthy, he has the ability to be one of the best fantasy receivers.
- Malik Nabers, New York Giants: He has a persistent toe issue and, if it weren’t for that, his talent is on par with any receiver in the league.
Middle Rounds
- Marvin Harrison Jr., Cardinals: Won’t be selected as high as last year, but will likely produce more this year.
- Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Seattle Seahawks: Showed how productive he could be during his rookie season and should continue to shine.
- DeVonta Smith, Eagles: A.J. Brown gets a lot of attention in Philadelphia, but Smith still gets a lot of targets.
- Jameson Williams, Lions: On a contract year, Williams has the motivation to go with the talent.
- Rome Odunze, Chicago Bears: Has already built a good relationship with QB Caleb Williams, which will connect them for years.
- Ricky Pearsall, San Francisco 49ers: There have been so many injuries to the 49ers’ wideouts that someone has to produce for them. Pearsall can.
Late Rounds
Mike Clay explains why WR Jordan Addison still has fantasy appeal despite his suspension
- Jordan Addison, Minnesota Vikings: A three-game suspension diminishes his value, but once he returns, he is expected to be a force.
- Matthew Golden, Green Bay Packers: Like Pearsall, injuries have affected the Packers’ receivers. Someone has to produce, and their first-round pick is a good bet.
- Emeka Egbuka, Buccaneers: The team is pleased and impressed with the performance of their first-round pick on the field.
- Keon Coleman, Bills: Coleman has looked good during training camp, as if he’s ready to take a leap in his second year.
- Marvin Mims Jr., Broncos: He began to stand out last season and should continue this season.
- DeMario Douglas, Patriots: New England needs its receivers to step up, and Douglas did so on the field.
- Dyami Brown, Jaguars: Follow the money. The Jaguars paid him about $10 million per year as a free agent.
- Jaylin Noel, Texans: With Tank Dell out indefinitely, Houston needs the kind of big plays that Noel can provide.
- Troy Franklin, Broncos: The Broncos have many receivers, but Franklin, who played with Nix in college, is capable of making plays.
Tight Ends
This is a position with a lot of competition, with Brock Bowers, Trey McBride, and George Kittle as the main ones. Once you get past them, there is uncertainty and some risk.Early Rounds
- Brock Bowers, Las Vegas Raiders: Last year’s first-round pick looked like a star in his rookie season in Las Vegas.
- Trey McBride, Cardinals: There were moments last season when he played like a “baby Gronk”.
Middle Rounds
- Sam LaPorta, Lions: Showed superstar potential as a rookie in 2023, when the Lions utilized him.
- Evan Engram, Broncos: Sean Payton has been waiting for an effective pass-catching tight end, and now he has one.
- Jake Ferguson, Cowboys: Coming off an injury, Ferguson is ready to resume his production in the Dallas offense.
Late Rounds
- Isaiah Likely, Ravens: He could be the number 1 tight end on many teams. Things are more difficult in Baltimore with Mark Andrews, but the Ravens know how talented Likely is.
- Theo Johnson, Giants: Johnson was a factor as his rookie season progressed and should be even better this season.
- Ja’Tavion Sanders, Carolina Panthers: He also shined during his rookie season and has the opportunity to make a significant leap in the second year.
- AJ Barner, Seahawks: Seattle needs a tight end to step up, and Barner could be up to the task.
