The New York Jets have selected RB Isaiah Davis with the No. 173 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.
Fantasy Impact: Davis led the FCS in rushing yards and rushing touchdowns last season. He is regarded as a running back that is patient and one that is able to break through tackles. Davis will likely slot in behind Breece Hall and Israel Abanikanda on the Jets’ roster.
The New York Jets have selected QB Jordan Travis with the No. 171 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.
Fantasy Impact: Travis was a leader for the Florida State Seminoles, who made a push for a CFP berth before his injury. However, he will have time to heal from his injury behind QBs Aaron Rodgers and Tyrod Taylor. Travis has some accuracy concerns, and time will tell if he is in the Jets' long-term plans, but he threw for 8,644 yards and 65 TDs at FSU.
The New Orleans Saints have selected WR Bub Means with the No. 170 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.
Fantasy Impact: Means has the physical profile to play on the outside in the NFL but he didn't display the consistency to be a top-tier WR prospect. He was a solid athletic tester too, but he did not show up well in the shuttle drill. He'll serve as a depth option in New Orleans, who already has a rotation of WRs in Chris Olave, Rashid Shaheed, A.T. Perry, and Cedrick Wilson Jr.
The Jacksonville Jaguars have selected RB Keilan Robinson with the No. 167 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.
Fantasy Impact: Robinson saw his primary role as a returner at Texas. He could have an immediate impact in special teams with the Jaguars, while it's also possible he holds some role behind Travis Etienne as a rusher.
The Baltimore Ravens have selected RB Rasheen Ali with the No. 165 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.
Fantasy Impact: Ali was the most productive in 2021 when he had 1,734 scrimmage yards and 24 TDs, but after an injury-riddled 2022 season, he returned with a strong 2023. He has notable fumbling problems, but with a chance to further develop as an athletic RB (and get healthy), he can be a solid rotational back for Baltimore.
The New York Giants selected RB Tyrone Tracy Jr. with the No. 166 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.
Fantasy Impact: Tracy changed positions last season, moving from wide receiver to running back where he displayed flashes of his potential. He'll have the opportunity to earn a role in the Giants backfield behind Devin Singletary with lots of touches opened up following the departure of Saquon Barkley.
The Cleveland Browns have selected WR Jamari Thrash with the No. 156 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.
Fantasy Impact: Thrash can help provide the vertical threat that Cleveland has been searching for the last few years. A transfer from Georgia State to Louisville, Thrash had 1,980 yards and 13 TDs in his last two seasons., though he is already 23 and spent five seasons in college.

Fantasy Impact: Smith was listed as a wide receiver at his draft announcement by the Eagles. He has played both wide receiver and running back in college, so he could be a versatile offensive weapon in many ways. We don't yet know the capacity the Eagles plan to use him, but we will know more once training camp starts.
The New Orleans Saints have selected QB Spencer Rattler with the No. 150 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.
Fantasy Impact: Rattler marks the first QB taken in the 2024 NFL Draft since the first round, and he goes into a room with QBs Derek Carr and 2023 fourth-rounder Jake Haener. The former South Carolina and Oklahoma passer has a notable arm but often displayed a tendency to be overconfident in his ability on the field. He has a chance to develop into a solid QB — showing NFL promise in college — but he may need some time and will have to fight for the reps to do so.
The Denver Broncos have selected RB Audric Estime with the No. 147 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.
Fantasy Impact: Estime ran for 18 touchdowns last season at Notre Dame. He is a powerful, downhill runner who could be a compliment to Javonte Williams in the Broncos backfield. He'll have the chance to earn a role with the Broncos backfield being a bit thin behind Williams.
The Indianapolis Colts have selected WR Anthony Gould with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.
Fantasy Impact: Gould was a top-tier tester as a WR, testing in the 94th+ percentile in the 40-yard dash (4.39 seconds), vertical jump (39.5") and broad jump (10'9"). In a room with WRs Adonai Mitchell, Michael Pittman Jr. and Josh Downs, Gould could provide solid WR4 play, making a strength out of a unit that lacked depth in 2023.
The New York Jets have selected RB Braelon Allen with the 134th pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. (Source: Jordan Schultz on X)
Fantasy Impact: This landing spot certainly helps the Jets in terms of depth, but this tanks Allen's fantasy value as he will be sitting behind one of the best running backs in the league, Breece Hall. Allen's standalone value is next to nothing and will serve only as a handcuff to Hall. Even if Hall misses time, Allen still has Izzy Abanikanda to compete with in the backfield.
The San Francisco 49ers have selected RB Isaac Guerendo with the 129th pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.
Fantasy Impact: Guerendo is a physical runner that broke out his last year at Wisconsin. Unfortunately, it looks like he won't get much work behind superstar Christian McCaffrey. He may receive some work in blowout games, but otherwise assumes to be buried in the depth chart for the 2024 season.
The Buffalo Bills have selected RB Ray Davis with the No. 128 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.
Fantasy Impact: Davis rushed for over 1,100 yards last season at Kentucky after a 1,000 yard season with Vanderbilt. He also caught 33 passes last year. He holds a lower center of gravity and is quick in space. He'll look to earn a role in the Bills backfield.
The Philadelphia Eagles have selected RB Will Shipley with the No. 127 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.
Fantasy Impact: Shipley compiled 31 touchdowns over the past three seasons at Clemson. He is a bit smaller of a running back, but he is quick and also capable as a receiver out of the backfield. The Eagles backfield may no longer be a committee after signing Saquon Barkley, but other running backs will likely still hold a role.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have selected RB Bucky Irving with the No. 125 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.
Fantasy Impact: Irving posted back-to-back 1,000 yard rushing seasons at Oregon, while also leading all running backs with 56 receptions last year. He'll look to work his way into a compliment role alongside Rachaad White in the Bucs backfield.
The Green Bay Packers have selected RB MarShawn Lloyd with the No. 88 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.
Fantasy Impact: Lloyd will provide a change of pace and third down option behind running backs Josh Jacobs and AJ Dillon. Lloyd registered an impressive 7.1 yards per carry in 11 games last season at USC.
The Los Angeles Rams have selected RB Blake Corum with the No. 83 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.
Fantasy Impact: Corum will join Kyren Williams in the Rams backfield in 2024. The former Michigan Wolverine rushed for 1,245 yards and 27 rushing touchdowns last season. Fantasy managers can expect Williams and Corum to both see their share of touches this season.
The Cincinnati Bengals selected WR Jermaine Burton with the No. 80 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.
Fantasy Impact: The Bengals select Burton out of Alabama with trade rumors around Tee Higgins continuing. If Higgins is eventually moved, Burton could play his way into an immediate role alongside Ja'Marr Chase.
The New York Jets have selected WR Malachi Corley with the No. 65 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.
Fantasy Impact: Check back shortly for the fantasy impact.
