The 2024 NFL Draft class was a particularly rich one, especially when it comes to the quarterback and wide receiver position. Which players are set to make their mark in fantasy football right out of the gate? Here’s a look at my 2024 All-Rookie Team for fantasy football.
There is no player whom I have drafted as often in fantasy this year as I have Jayden Daniels, so if he flops, I’ll be in tough shape … but the more I see from Daniels in the preseason, the less that seems to be a concern:
Daniels has officially been named the Commanders’ starting quarterback (no surprise there) and is set to open up the season Week 1 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneeers. The 2023 Heisman Trophy winner poses elite upside as a runner, coming off a campaign where he led all FBS QBs with 1,134 rushing yards and another 10 touchdowns on the ground. It marked his third consecutive season with 700+ rushing yards dating back to his time at Arizona and he’s arguably a more refined passer than a guy like Anthony Richardson, who’s being drafted several rounds ahead of him.
Even with questionable depth at WR behind Terry McLaurin, there could be suitable passing volume and rushing production for Daniels to post a top-five season as a rookie.
Brooks was the first running back off the board in the 2024 NFL Draft, and for good reason. Coming out of Texas, Brooks was without a doubt the most balanced running back prospect in the class when considering his skills as a runner, receiver and blocker. Unfortunately, he tore his ACL in early November after accumulating 1,425 scrimmage yards and 11 touchdowns through 10 games in the season.
Brooks opened up training camp on the active/NFI (Non-football injury) list and isn’t expected to make his way back until at least Week 3, but once he does, expect him to be a true difference-maker for the Panthers.
He has a true three-down skill set that could make him a league-winner down the stretch, if the Panthers offense takes a step forward in Year 2 with Bryce…
