2024 Top 50 Superflex Rookie Rankings (Dynasty Football)

In 2024, the prevailing NFL Draft narratives revolve around the top of the class and who will instantly provide for fantasy football purposes. We won’t all draft Caleb Williams and Marvin Harrison Jr., so it’s good to dive deeper into the class and see who our consolation draft pieces may be. Today, we’ll be breaking down the top 50 players for Superflex dynasty fantasy football leagues.

This is a strong class at the top, but it also may provide the NFL depth for years to come. Overall, this article will identify the potential top 50 upcoming players for Superflex purposes. As expected, quarterbacks will rule the beginning of this list. However, let’s take a look at how the rest of our drafts may shake out. Let’s get right into it.

Top 50 Superflex Rookie Rankings Dynasty Fantasy Football 2024

Here are the top 50 Superflex rookie rankings for dynasty fantasy football in 2024. Use these rankings to help you win your draft and your league.

1. QB Caleb Williams

Caleb Williams has remained the top quarterback 2024 prospect for three years and that should come to fruition further when he’s taken first overall in April. For dynasty managers, he is also 2024’s rookie 1.01 due to his QB1 ceiling. Wherever he goes, he should be ready to produce for dynasty managers early.

2. QB Jayden Daniels

The majority of this top five is quarterbacks, due to the scarcity of top-end talent at the position and the skillsets of multiple players in this draft. There are a few decent quarterback-needy teams and Jayden Daniels shouldn’t have to wait long on draft night to hear his name. He reigns from LSU and should remain a starter in the league for quite a few years, due to his explosive arm and legs.

3. WR Marvin Harrison Jr.

Our first non-quarterback is touted prospect Marvin Harrison Jr. He became the top option in impressive Ohio State receiver rooms and should be drafted to become a team’s main receiver threat. He’s ready to start an impressive career and should last no longer than the third or fourth pick in rookie drafts.

4. QB Drake Maye

We go back to quarterback and long-time perspective QB2 in this 2024 class. Drake Maye should be a fine NFL option, maybe more so in the mold of Kirk Cousins or Dak Prescott. If he enters an offense with weapons he can dole it out to, he may even overtake Daniel’s or Harrison Jr. in these types of rankings.

5. WR Malik Nabers

Malik Nabers, Jayden Daniels, and Brian Thomas Jr. created quite a trio in 2023, and it was speared by Naber’s big play ability and speed. In most draft years, he’d be the first wide receiver off the board. He should be a top-10 pick and a startable asset for dynasty managers.

6. TE Brock Bowers

The tight-end position is always tough to project, but Brock Bowers may be the most talented to come into the league during the 2020s. This is a luxury pick for someone in the middle of the first round, a talent like this may creep up more into the top five most classes. He still may do that in some drafts, but here he will remain a top-10 asset and one of the last elite options in 2024.

7. QB J.J. McCarthy

JJ McCarthy will have detractors, but he will also have plenty who believe in him if he receives top-15 draft capital. Not asked to light the world on fire from the air at Michigan, this is a raw passer with tools to mold. If he goes to a situation that’s appealing for fantasy football, he may be a solid starter earlier than is currently expected in the dynasty circles.

8. WR Rome Odunze

Rome Odunze may be the last current projected “elite” profile in this draft. Lots of dynasty managers will enjoy what he can offer downfield and eating up yards. This prospect will become boom or bust based on the landing spot and exactly what he offers. If he’s given a quarterback with a big arm, expect him to fly open downfield plenty of times, ready to rack up yards and points from a solid draft investment.

9. RB Jonathon Brooks

With Jonathon Brooks, we start to project more about the future and exactly where this class shakes out. A running back will contribute from this class, and it very well could be the versatile Brooks. If he receives Day 2 capital, take a deep breath and worry less about his return from injury. Dynasty isn’t a one-year game and with Brooks looking more like a back-end first-round rookie, he’s worth the gamble for a long-term lineup mainstay.

10. WR Brian Thomas Jr.

Brian Thomas Jr. and Nabers were a dynamic duo while quarterback Jayden Daniels was moving towards the Heisman Trophy. While Nabers offered lightning, Thomas Jr. is more of the thunder due to his size and strength when grabbing the ball. A smooth player, Thomas Jr. finds himself right around WR4-5 in this receiver class.

11. WR Troy Franklin

Speaking of lightning quickness, Troy Franklin also provides plenty of speed and downfield threat in a slighter frame than Nabers. Both players hover around the 180 lbs mark, and it’ll be interesting to see what Franklin can add to his game. A slight worry is he only becomes a downfield threat, but he seems to have enough spring and agility to create big plays whenever he touches it. Troy Franklin, a potential best-ball goldmine.

12. WR Adonai Mitchell

For Adonai Mitchell, everybody loves to compare him to the behemoth Tee Higgins. We all love that big frame and big play ability, and I too love the Higgins comparison. Mitchell is surprisingly mobile for his 6’4″ size and should be a steal for contenders in the late first of rookie drafts.

13. RB Blake Corum

Yes, multiple running backs will be chosen on Day 2 of the NFL Draft. Yes, that means running backs have to be valued by us dynasty managers. Managers are weary of drafting a player who will be 24 in his first NFL season, but Blake Corum should produce for fantasy. Rachaad White also came into the league at 23 and is a hot commodity. Corum can be that as well.

14. WR Ladd McConkey

Now here’s a Ladd, McConkey to be exact, that can make plays in the short game and rack up PPR points for dynasty managers. The NFL seems to love these route runner profiles, and if McConkey goes early Day 2 or late Day 1, he won’t fall far out of the rookie first rounds. He’s a solid piece on a winning NFL football team, which of course could provide us with fantasy impact.

15. WR Roman Wilson

Route runners seem a dime a dozen in this draft class, but it is just that strong of a class for the position. Michigan was a rush-dominant football team, but Roman Wilson is projected to test well and did well at this past Senior Bowl. He’s likely a Day 2 pick that managers will want to prioritize come draft day.

16. TE Ja’Tavion Sanders

Ja’Tavion Sanders should be the TE2 in this class for real football and dynasty football. He has athleticism that’s coveted for the position and has good enough hands to become a vital cog for an offense. For us dynasty managers, take him in the middle of the second and be patient, production shall arrive.

17. QB Bo Nix

Bo Nix may be a first-round pick, or the need to draft him early isn’t there and he slips into Day 2. If he does, he should remain a top 20 asset for this year, as he could eventually start and has only gotten better every year of his college career. You could do worse than taking an experienced quarterback with capital in the second round.

18. RB Braelon Allen

Braelon Allen may have to wait for Day 3 to hear his name called, but his youth and skillset make him an intriguing player no matter when he’s picked. He has youth, he has strength and is likely to only improve. A draft class devoid of running talent, Allen has that but only needs the volume and an opportunity to grow.

19. WR Xavier Worthy

Xavier Worthy is very much in the Franklin and Nabers mold, but while he has that level of speed, he also lacks both of those players’ refinement right now. A solid route runner who can offer a team multiple looks on offense, seeing how he fits into a team’s game plan will be key. Of course, his competition in the receiving core will also matter greatly.

20. RB Trey Benson

Get ready for running backs, as we’re about to talk about them for three consecutive picks. Trey Benson offers a bit more receiving upside than the next two listed, and could even see his stock rise more towards Corum if he goes early Day 2. He’s a solid rusher who doesn’t have too much wear and tear on his body, giving us managers hope for the long haul.

21. RB Audric Estime

Audric Estime emerged for Notre Dame and provided mettle and toughness rushing downhill. He may be slightly less dynamic than Allen, but this is a pick you make if he gets a solid spot for touchdown potential. For many NFL teams, this is the mold of a goalline running back.

22. RB Jaylen Wright

Jaylen Wright can do a little bit of this and a little bit of that. He offers speed and power but may have to wait until Day 3 to be drafted. He could raise his stock at the upcoming combine, and shoot his way into the top three running back conversation if he shows out.

23. WR Keon Coleman

Keon Coleman is fast and he is big, there are just some concerns about putting it all together at the next level. He should be in an offensive game plan, but is he more the Tee Higgins or is he Jauan Jennings? That’s the question managers will have to decide, but he’s a worthy upside pick around selection 25 in this draft.

24. WR Malachi Corley

Malachi Corley is rising and rightly so due to his playmaking and skills on the outside. A talented wide receiver who may be taken on Day 2, we’ve seen proof with Rashee Rice that these late risers can have merit. If he’sRice that’s fantastic, and second-round rookie picks will prove as fruitful as ever.

25. WR Xavier Legette

So many wide receivers. And we love it. We just talked about a massive riser, so now let’s talk about someone on a slide following the Senior Bowl. Xavier Legette measured in slightly shorter than his college listed, but numbers don’t play football. Legette plays big and is a worthy shot here later in most drafts. Don’t expect the world, but maybe a nice Tyler Boyd-esque player would do your team right.

26. RB Cody Schrader

Cody Schrader is a name similar to Jaylen Wright in that, both are talented SEC rushers who aren’t quite getting their deserved shine right now. Schrader can change that in Indianapolis by displaying strength, speed, and competence in drills. Many were excited about Evan Hull‘s combine in 2023, and Schrader looks like another stout option we can find later at running back.

27. RB Mar’Keise Irving

We’ve talked about plenty of big boys at running back, so now it’s time to talk about a satellite back in Mar’Keise “Bucky” Irving. The Oregon product has game-breaking speed but will need to beef up if he wants those between the tackles touches. Perhaps a bit limited player coming in, we also thought the same about Tyjae Spears. Players who catch the ball can find NFL roles when getting the ball in space.

28. QB Michael Penix Jr.

Michael Penix Jr. was up and down in mocks throughout the Fall, but he seems to firmly be a Day 2 pick at this time. He produced for Washington and even if he goes in the third round, he’s still a draftable asset for dynasty football leagues. Maybe the stars align and you get a way less mobile version of Jalen Hurts. We’re always looking for starters in dynasty, maybe Penix Jr. can find a way.

29. RB Kimani Vidal

A personal favorite of mine, Kimani Vidal looks like he can provide in an NFL zone rushing scheme. He finds his hole and shoots through it, and should be able to carry an impressive YPC average into the NFL. There are plenty of good rushers at the next level, and the question with Vidal is how quickly he could find a role, if ever.

30. WR Ja’Lynn Polk

Ja’Lynn Polk benefitted greatly from the attention Odunze and Penix Jr. were taking off him. Polk is tall but will need to put on some weight to not get bullied off the line of scrimmage. Still, he’s a solid route runner and could find an NFL spot from a Day 3 selection. Think Dontayvion Wicks.

31. RB MarShawn Lloyd

MarShawn Lloyd may be the running back with the highest profile in this draft from high school. He scuppered a bit in South Carolina but then found his footing at USC last year. A likely Day 3 talent, Lloyd is worth a dart late in rookie drafts.

32. WR Brenden Rice

This is the class of legacy children, as Brenden Rice joins Frank Gore Jr. and Marvin Harrison Jr. for the coveted title of “Most Valuable Child of a Legend”. Rice provides plenty of pop to his game and should find himself drafted late on Day 2 or Day 3. Managers should start keeping an eye on landing spots at that point in the draft, as we’ve already listed over 10 wide receivers in this article.

33. WR Devontez Walker

Devontez Walker and Leggette were seemingly two of the losers stock-wise at the Senior Bowl, but both can still play a role at the NFL level. Walker took a detour to Kent State before arriving in North Carolina for 2023, but he provided for the Tar Heels and could be a worthy rookie section for us.

34. RB Dillon Johnson

Dillon Johnson joins a litany of good, not great running backs in this class. He can provide pass blocking for the next level. A big body who isn’t afraid to fight for extra yards, this is a player you take and put on taxi his first year, waiting for his role to become clearer.

35. WR Jalen McMillan

Jalen McMillan was hurt for a period this 2023 collegiate season, but he offers short-game ability and PPR upside for dynasty managers. His injury concerns appear behind him at this stage, and he may even end up drafted higher than teammate Ja’Lynn Polk.

36. WR Johnny Wilson

Johnny Wilson is a large 6’7″ man, but a huge concern is how defenses affect him and whether his body holds up. He has good movement at that size, but so did Christian Watson leading up to the 2022 draft. These large frames are a concern even though any player can get injured. However, Wilson dominated in college and it’s the 3.12 in rookie drafts, why not take a chance on the unique profile?

37. WR Ricky Pearsall

Ricky Pearsall may not be getting massive recognition, but again he fits the mold of a solid route runner with above-average hands. He is a likely Day 3 pick, it all comes down to team fit and how fast he can find the field. He may only ever amount to a low-end flex, but a player with starting slot traits is still worth a pick in rookie drafts.

38. WR Jacob Cowing

Jacob Cowing and McMillan, in fact, all the recently mentioned receivers outside of Wilson, provide exceptional upside in the short game. Agile with acceleration skills, Cowing can do a job at the NFL level and in the late third or fourth round, is a worthy rookie dart to throw.

39. RB Jase McClellan

Ah yes, the running back position. We’ll talk about a few more in the last 10 slots on this list, but this 39th overall placement belongs to Alabama’s Jase McClellan. Purely a speed talent, we’ve seen some of those players find the field in 2023. Keaton Mitchell and Emari Demercado in particular spring to mind. Viable depth isn’t a bad return at this point.

40. WR Javon Baker

Javon Baker would likely be higher on this list if it was 2025, as that class is a little bit lighter on wide receiver. However, he still has moldable tools and may even see a slight bump in his stock over the next couple of months.

41. RB Frank Gore Jr.

The final legacy namesake player is running back Frank Gore Jr., and he should be a hot commodity when it comes to rookie draft fourth rounds. Managers will be aware of the name and if he finds a nice situation, he will be gone around the end of rookie third rounds.

42. QB Michael Pratt

We need a few diamond-in-the-rough quarterbacks, and a player such as Michael Pratt could find himself starting a few NFL games. He’s currently projectable as a toolsy backup who can make some electric throws but will need to work on footwork and quicker processing to become an NFL starter.

43. RB Dylan Laube

So many dart running backs, and so few picks to use on them. New Hampshire’s Dylan Laube will likely be a Day 3 pick or even go undrafted, but this is a downhill rusher who you may be able to grab without even using capital.

44. WR Malik Washington

Malik Washington is fast, but there are just so many wide receivers in this class. Expecting a role right away is less likely for these Day 3 receivers following free agency and roles filled earlier in the draft. Perhaps he has a Khalil Shakir emergence eventually, but it would take quite the perfect scenario.

45. RB Emani Bailey

Just a few more running backs, I promise. Emani Bailey took over for Kendre Miller‘s TCU backfield in 2023, and he produced fine in a roughshod Big 12 conference. He’s a worthy late flier to look at.

46. QB Spencer Rattler

Spencer Rattler will be divisive, but if he comes out of the draft with Day 3 capital, he’s worth a stash. Seeing how he develops with whoever takes him may be worth the taxi spot alone. Give him a year and hold or cut loose in time.

47. RB Isaiah Davis

Another runner with competition-level questions in the same boat as Laube, Isaiah Davis is ready to make a name for himself out of South Dakota State. With managers valuing the position so lowly in 2024, many of these rushers may fall out of rookie drafts completely. Scoop them up and see if they’re still worth the roster spot by August.

48. WR Jermaine Burton

This is the lowest level of hype for an Alabama offensive class in quite some time, with Jermaine Burton and McClellan not receiving as much shine as in years past. Burton is a competent catcher, a decent route runner, and has alright speed. He’s decent across the board, but it’s hard to see him turning into more than a high-IQ depth option in the NFL.

49. RB Blake Watson

Blake Watson and many of these other rushers just don’t excite managers with their college production. Watson even caught the ball plenty at Memphis, but still hasn’t found himself in many draft discussions. With this speed though, it’s worth a shot late.

50. TE Ben Sinnott

We have a TE3, and it is glorious. Ben Sinnott isn’t quite an Iowa-level tight end, but Kansas State is pretty close to Iowa. He offers grit and some after-the-catch ability. Ultimately, he could be a riser following the 2024 NFL Combine.

Predicting an entire draft worth of names isn’t easy, and this list didn’t even include draftable names such as Isaac Guerendo or Will Shipley. The class strength is at the receiver position, but there’s depth in other spots with plenty to prove. Hopefully, your teams will be able to take the high-end talents while also throwing a dart at some of the players later in the draft pool as well.
