Let’s dive into a few players that are seeing more or less value based on fantasy football draft ADP following the 2024 NFL Draft.

Las Vegas was one of a few teams heavily linked to drafting Michael Penix Jr. Unfortunately, the Raiders missed out on the quarterback run, as all six potential first-round quarterbacks went off the board in the top 12. While Minshew still needs to beat out Aidan O’Connell, he won’t have to compete with a rookie for the starting role. Furthermore, Las Vegas improved its receiving core by drafting Brock Bowers with their first-round pick. Minshew has a significantly better receiving core than he did with the Indianapolis Colts last season.
The Dolphins traded a 2025 third-round pick to the Philadelphia Eagles during the NFL Draft to select Wright in the fourth round, showing their significant desire for the running back. Anyone who pushes him down in their dynasty rookie rankings because of the landing spot is making a mistake. Raheem Mostert turns 33 in August, while De’Von Achane struggled to stay healthy last season. Wright is built perfectly for Miami’s offense. While it might not happen until Week 8, expect the rookie to finish his first season fantasy relevant.
Many called Pickens an offseason winner after the Steelers traded away Diontae Johnson. Instead of using an early draft pick on a wide receiver, Pittsburgh spent their top two selections to improve their offensive line. While they spent a third-round pick on Roman Wilson, he is the only offensive weapon the team drafted this year. Pickens was a top-20 wide receiver without Johnson in 2023 despite catching passes from Kenny Pickett. He has top-10 upside this year with Russell Wilson or Justin Fields under center.
