Dynasty Rookie Mock Draft: 12-Team, 1QB (2024 Fantasy Football)

The 2024 NFL Draft is less than a week old. Yet, the draft nerds have already turned their attention to the 2025 NFL Draft and whether or not Carson Beck is the clear-cut QB1. However, the fantasy football community is thinking about only one thing – dynasty rookie drafts.

Practice makes perfect, so let’s dive into a 12-team, 1QB, PPR dynasty rookie mock draft. Get ready for your dynasty rookie draft with our FREE mock draft simulator.

2024 Dynasty Rookie Mock Draft

ROUND 1

1.01 – Marvin Harrison Jr. (WR — ARI)

While there was so much talk that Harrison wouldn’t be the first wide receiver picked in the NFL Draft, he is the clear-cut 1.01 pick in 1QB dynasty rookie drafts. Harrison steps in as Kyler Murray‘s No. 1 wide receiver on an offense that lacks reliable pass catchers besides Trey McBride.

1.02 – Malik Nabers (WR – NYG)

Fantasy players and Nabers would have liked it if the former LSU star landed with the Los Angeles Chargers. However, he will see a massive target share in New York, with Wan’Dale Robinson, Darius Slayton, and Jalin Hyatt rounding out the rest of the team’s wide receiver core.

1.03 – Rome Odunze (WR – CHI)

Odunze will be on my do-not-draft list for redraft leagues. DJ Moore and Keenan Allen are the top two receivers in Chicago this season. Therefore, expect Odunze to be this year’s Jaxon Smith-Njigba, as a first-round pick who struggles to produce for fantasy players as a rookie. However, Odunze is an elite prospect who will replace Allen and potentially Moore in 2025, making him the clear-cut pick at 1.03.

1.04 – Xavier Worthy (WR – KC)

Landing with Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs helped Worthy’s post-NFL Draft stock, but the former Longhorn is also a talented prospect. While everyone talks about his record-breaking 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine, Worthy is an impressive route runner who could quickly become Mahomes’ go-to wide receiver, especially with Rashee Rice‘s recent off-the-field issues.

1.05 – Brock Bowers (TE – LV)

Unfortunately, Bowers landed with the Raiders despite zero mock drafts calling for it. While Michael Mayer was a second-round pick a year ago, he lacks the talent to keep Bowers off the field. It might take a year for him to turn into a fantasy star, but I’m not betting against Bowers.

1.06 – Caleb Williams (WB – CHI)

While this is a 1QB mock draft, Williams is such an elite talent that you could take him as early as the 1.04 pick. With DJ Moore, Keenan Allen, and Rome Odunze at his disposal, the former USC star could have a similar rookie season to C.J. Stroud last year.

1.07 – Ladd McConkey (WR – LAC)

McConkey comes off the board ahead of multiple first-round wide receivers because of his landing spot. Justin Herbert won’t throw a million times in 2024 with Jim Harbaugh on the sidelines. However, nothing will stop McConkey from taking on a significant amount of Keenan Allen’s 11.5 targets per game in 2023 as a rookie.

1.08 – Brian Thomas Jr. (WR – LAC)

While the Jaguars lost Calvin Ridley in free agency, Thomas isn’t the same type of wide receiver. His arrival likely means Gabe Davis will have limited fantasy value in Jacksonville. However, the former LSU star led the country in receiving touchdowns last season and will see significant snaps and targets as a rookie after the team released Zay Jones earlier this week.

1.09 – Jonathon Brooks (RB – CAR)

After zero running backs in the first eight picks, we finally get a first-round rusher. Brooks should be ready for training camp after tearing his ACL late in 2023. Miles Sanders was a flop in his first year in Carolina, while Chuba Hubbard was too inconsistent. Expect Brooks to become Dave Canales’ new version of Rachaad White.

1.10 – Jayden Daniels.  (QB – WAS)

Quarterbacks who can make plays in the run game are worth their weight in gold. Anthony Richardson averaged 9.4 fantasy points per game with his legs in 2023. Daniels is a more explosive runner and a better passer while landing in a more fantasy-friendly offense. He has top-eight upside as a rookie.

1.11 – Keon Coleman (WR – BUF)

Buffalo traded back twice, allowing two other teams to move up for a wide receiver. While some have concerns about Coleman’s ability to separate, the former Florida State star could quickly turn into Josh Allen‘s No. 1 wide receiver early in his rookie season.

1.12 – Ricky Pearsall (WR – SF)

Many were surprised to see Pearsall sneak into the first round of the NFL Draft. While Deebo Samuel nor Brandon Aiyuk got traded during the three-day event, it’s no guarantee that both will play for San Francisco in 2024. More importantly, one of the veterans won’t return in 2025, making Pearsall the ideal draft and stash candidate for contending fantasy teams.
