There is a lot of hype around the 2024 rookie class — more than normal. Following an NFL Draft that set a record for the most offensive players taken in Round 1, including six quarterbacks, you will find a dozen players from the group in our consensus top-120 picks. In a 12-team league, that’s the first 10 rounds.
The best part about all of this? It’s warranted! Of the six quarterbacks, at least three are poised to start to begin the season. Seven wide receivers were taken in Round 1 of the NFL Draft — at least five figure to make Fantasy rosters with two emerging as must-starts. Another stud tight end will draw attention in Fantasy, and even though there weren’t any running backs taken in the first 45 picks of the draft, there are still many who will command meaningful Fantasy compensation, including a potential gamebreaker in Carolina.
This isn’t a rookie class to miss out on. Get to know these guys because they range from potential lineup heroes to mega-studs for the next decade.
The following is a top-12 ranking based on the order I would draft them in 2024 seasonal PPR leagues.
Height: 6-3 1/4 | Weight: 209 | Age by Week 1: 22 years old
What can be said about Harrison that you don’t already know? He’s tall, athletic, fast, nuanced, experienced, and as NFL-ready as any receiver has ever been. Now he’ll lock into a Cardinals offense that has routinely hyper-targeted their No. 1 option ever since Kyler Murray became their quarterback. It should mean at least eight targets per game, and maybe as many as 10. Mesh that with his expected efficiency and Harrison is very much in play to set NFL rookie-year records for catches and yards, both set last year by Puka Nacua (105 catches and 1,486 yards). If that upside seems ludicrous to you then don’t plan on drafting Harrison because someone else in your league who views him as a can’t-miss will take him before you would.
