Dynasty Rookie Draft Advice: Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, Drake Maye, J.J. McCarthy (Fantasy Football)

The fantasy football season has come to an end, but that doesn’t mean the NFL stops. It’s time to start getting excited for the 2024 NFL Draft. Dynasty fantasy football managers and redraft players alike can dive into the upcoming class of fantasy football rookies to prepare for the 2024 NFL season. We’ll take a look at players to know from the 2024 NFL Draft class.

Dynasty Rookie Draft Prospects

Caleb Williams (QB – USC) Chicago Bears

The Bears will select  Williams with the first overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. Thankfully, that’s the ideal landing spot for the former USC star. Chicago never gave Justin Fields an elite set of weapons but has made several additions this offseason. They signed D’Andre Swift and Gerald Everett in free agency and traded a fourth-round pick for Keenan Allen. Williams will have the weapons needed to be a star as a rookie.

Jayden Daniels (QB – LSU) Washington Commanders

Daniels is the betting favorite to be the second overall pick by the Commanders. The reigning Heisman Trophy winner is a perfect fit for Kliff Kingsbury’s offense. Daniels has an elite arm and produced two outstanding wide receivers last season in Malik Nabers and Brian Thomas Jr. That is excellent news for Terry McLaurin and Jahan Dotson‘s fantasy value. Meanwhile, the LSU star is an athletic running freak, which might be needed playing behind a sub-par offensive line in Washington.

Drake Maye (QB – UNC) Minnesota Vikings

Reportedly, the Vikings want to get their hands on Maye. The fantasy community should hope that happens. North Carolina’s offensive line struggled last year, leading to Maye bailing on the pocket earlier than needed. That won’t be a problem in Minnesota, as the team has an elite offensive line. Furthermore, Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison and T.J. Hockenson make up one of the top trio of weapons in the NFL. Maye could step in as a rookie and put up similar numbers to Kirk Cousins.

J.J. McCarthy (QB – Michigan) Las Vegas Raiders

While McCarthy is one of the more polarizing quarterback prospects in the draft class, Las Vegas would be the perfect landing spot. Aidan O’Connell or Gardner Minshew could start the season if the rookie isn’t ready to play in Week 1. More importantly, Antonio Pierce’s Raiders want to play defense, run the ball and throw play-action off the run — exactly what McCarthy did at Michigan. With Davante Adams, Jakobi Meyers and Michael Mayer at his disposal, the former Wolverine would have the weapons to succeed.
