Fantasy Football Expert Rankings: Drake Maye, Zach Ertz, Jalen Tolbert (2024)

With redraft season slowly coming into focus there is no better resource to use than the Expert Consensus Rankings, which combine over 100 rankings from fantasy football experts around the industry and can be averaged against Average Draft Position (ADP).

Doing this allows us to see the players that the consensus is ahead or behind ADP on and gives us an idea of whether these players are likely to be taken earlier or later in our drafts. Here are all of the players our expert rankings are higher or lower on compared to ADP. Below we dive into a few notable names the experts like more or less than ADP.

Fantasy Football Expert Rankings Analysis

Players the Rankings Like Less than ADP

Drake Maye (QB – NE): -25

Maye isn’t viewed as a true dual-threat but he did rush for almost 1,500 yards and 16 touchdowns over his final two seasons in college, playing behind a bad offensive line in North Carolina. Maye’s biggest barrier to fantasy success is the coaching staff and he’ll have to win them over to start straightaway, but positive stories are emerging from New England. In single-QB redraft, we can afford to wait and see how the summer unfolds.

Zach Ertz (TE – WAS): -63

Nobody is expecting too much from Zach Ertz as he enters his age 34 season after dealing with plenty of injuries in the last two years, but he could be worth a deep flier in very deep leagues given his connection to now Washington offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury.

Jalen Tolbert (WR – DAL): -95

The Cowboys have done little to add to their wide receiver room this offseason, giving Jalen Tolbert probably his last chance to seize a role in the NFL. From Week 10 onwards, Tolbert outperformed Michael Gallup with more targets, higher yards per route run, 14.1 air yards per target vs 11.9 for Gallup and an almost identical amount of snaps. Tolbert has yet to really emerge into a role but this feels like the ECR is a little too pessimistic.
