Dynasty Rookie Mock Draft

Let’s dive into a four-round, 12-team, superflex dynasty rookie mock draft to help you prepare for your 2024 fantasy football league.

1.01 – Caleb Williams (QB – CHI)

Caleb Williams is the clear-cut 1.01 pick in superflex drafts. Fantasy players who don’t have a need at quarterback but have the top pick could take Marvin Harrison Jr. However, ransoming off the top pick for a massive haul is the better move.

1.02 – Marvin Harrison Jr. (WR – ARI)

While there was so much talk 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 and the first non-quarterback in superflex leagues. Harrison steps in as Kyler Murray‘s No. 1 wide receiver on an offense that lacks reliable pass-catchers besides Trey McBride.

1.03 – 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 last season. Daniels is a more explosive runner and a better passer and landed in a more fantasy-friendly offense. He has top-five upside as a rookie.

1.04 – 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.

1.05 – 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 — 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 a clear-cut top-five selection.

1.06 – Drake Maye (QB – NE)

Many will be scared to draft or refuse to pick Maye after he was selected third overall by the Patriots. While New England doesn’t have an appealing supporting cast for the rookie quarterback, Maye has elite upside. Fantasy players should feel confident drafting him in the middle of the first round in dynasty rookie drafts. He is a boom-or-bust pick.

1.07 – J.J. McCarthy (QB – MIN)

While McCarthy was the fifth quarterback picked during the NFL Draft, he should be the third or fourth one selected in dynasty rookie drafts. The former Michigan star might not start right away as a rookie but he landed in arguably the best situation. Once he steps on the field, McCarthy will have Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison and T.J. Hockenson at his disposal.

1.08 – Xavier Worthy (WR – KC)

Landing with Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs helped Worthy’s post-NFL Draft stock, but the former Longhorn is 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.

1.09 – Jonathon Brooks (RB – CAR)

Running backs get pushed up draft boards the deeper we get into rookie drafts. Brooks is a first-round pick in almost every dynasty rookie draft, especially with reports he should be ready for training camp. While Chuba Hubbard had solid moments last season, he is an average runner. Meanwhile, Miles Sanders was a massive flop in his first year with the team and might not be around this upcoming season. Expect Brooks to become Dave Canales’ new version of Rachaad White.

1.10 – Brock Bowers (TE – LV)

Unfortunately, Bowers landed with the Raiders despite zero NFL 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 because of the team’s quarterback situation. Yet, I’m not betting against the elite tight end.

1.11 – Brian Thomas Jr. (WR – JAX)

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. Expect him to play a meaningful role in the Jaguars’ passing attack in 2024.

1.12 – 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.
