The 2024 NFL draft is finally in the rearview mirror. As are positional values, draft capital hit rates are an important guiding principle. With that in mind, here are the 2024 dynasty superflex rookie rankings.
2024 Dynasty Superflex Rookie Rankings
Cornerstones Already
Caleb Williams, QB, Chicago Bears
Marvin Harrison Jr, WR, Arizona Cardinals
The Bears have built one of the best-supporting casts in football around Williams. Pair that with his talent and 1.01 draft capital, it’s hard to see him falling out of the top ten dynasty rankings anytime soon. Harrison goes to Arizona to catch touchdowns from Kyler Murray. These are the perfect blends of talent, landing spot, and draft capital.
Studs on Studs
Jayden Daniels, QB, Washington Commanders
Drake Maye, QB, New England Patriots
Malik Nabers, WR, New York Giants
Daniels film is littered with deep balls and elite rushing. Now he goes to Washington to pair with Terry McLaurin and Ben Sinnott, wins all around for him. Maye lands in what was considered to be a bad situation, but there’s no way the Patriots move on from him in the next two years and he could turn them around. Finally, Nabers would be able to compete with Harrison if he had a better landing spot, but in New York he could start slow.
The Tricky Part
Xavier Worthy, WR, Kansas City Chiefs
Brock Bowers, TE, Las Vegas Raiders
Rome Odunze, WR, Chicago Bears
J.J. McCarthy, QB, Minnesota Vikings
There’s a very real chance that Worthy outscores Odunze in 2024, and if that’s the case he’ll catapult up the rankings. Odunze might get the JSN treatment in Chicago, and Bowers will be catching passes from fans by the end of the season unless Aidan O’Connell or Gardner Minshew really show out in 2024.

Day One Fantasy Starters (And Trey Benson)
Bo Nix, QB, Denver Broncos
Brian Thomas Jr, WR, Jacksonville Jaguars
Jonathan Brooks, RB, Carolina Panthers
Trey Benson, RB, Arizona Cardinals
It’s superflex, and everyone is going to write off Nix because of his lack of pre-draft hype. Instead, let’s think about the rise of Kenny Pickett, Will Levis and other disliked QBs after their first season. Someone will be willing to part with a first after this year, so if he’s good it’s a homerun. If he’s bad, a sell window will be there for a little bit.
Thomas Jr enters a weird receiver room but brings more athleticism than anyone else on the roster, maybe he’s D.K. Metcalf light. Brooks and Benson both go to golden landing spots with either a path to immediate contribution or long term RB1 upside.
Weird Players With Delayed Returns
Ladd McConkey, WR, Los Angeles Chargers
Keon Coleman, WR, Buffalo Bills
Ricky Pearsall, WR, San Francisco 49ers
Low volume passing offenses, buried on the depth chart or scary underlying metrics here. Coleman could be a top 15 wide receiver this year. Or he could flame out early due to an inability to separate. Pearsall separates with the best of them, but how often will he see the field? Had to listen to dad here.

The Other Tight End, Handcuff and Receivers
Malachi Corley, WR, New York Jets
Adonai Mitchell, WR, Indianapolis Colts
Roman Wilson, WR, Pittsburgh Steelers
Xavier Legette, WR, Carolina Panthers
Blake Corum, RB, Los Angeles Rams
Ben Sinnott, TE, Washington Commanders
Michael Penix, QB, Atlanta Falcons
Some of the best and worst tape of the class belongs to Mitchell. Corley got a homerun spot and has the YAC ability we crave, but will Rodgers trust him in year one? Corum was compared to Kyren Williams, which is great for the Rams but what the heck does it mean for fantasy purposes?
Most of these guys are likely in time shares, the number two or three option on their offense or play tight end and it’s a great landing spot. Penix is on the Jordan Love path, but older with an injury history. Maybe he shocks the world. Maybe he plays less games than Trey Lance. Who’s to say.
Patriots Wide Receivers and Fallers
Javon Baker, WR, New England Patriots
Jermaine Burton, WR, Cincinnati Bengals
Ja’Lynn Polk, WR, New England Patriots
Troy Franklin, WR, Denver Broncos
Ja’Tavion Sanders, TE, Carolina Panthers
Kimani Vidal, RB, Los Angeles Chargers
In my heart of hearts Javon Baker is going to be a better pro than Polk. Both are entering a wide open receiver room with Maye at the helm, so the long term upside is tremendous. Whoever emerges as the top dog is going to be a fan favorite heading into 2025. This is a weird tier for 2024 dynasty superflex rookie rankings because there’s normally a running back or two with a great landing spot, but instead there’s just pass catchers and QBs up and down the ranks.
Kimani Vidal has the best landing spot in the draft for a day three running back. Trying to fight Gus Edwards for carries is a nice problem, and he brings more as a pass catcher than any back on the roster.
The Rest of Third Round 2024 Dynasty Superflex Rookie Rankings
Audric Estime, RB, Denver Broncos
Marshawn Lloyd, RB, Green Bay Packers
Jaylen Wright, RB, Miami Dolphins
Luke McCaffrey, WR, Washington Commanders
Jalen McMillan, WR, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Bucky Irving, RB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Eric All, TE, Cincinnati Bengals
Ray Davis, RB, Buffalo Bills

Rasheen Ali, RB, Baltimore Ravens
Johnny Wilson, WR, Philadelphia Eagles
Devontez Walker, WR, Baltimore Ravens

Jacob Cowing, WR, San Francisco 49ers
Cade Stover, TE, Houston Texans
Jared Wiley, TE, Kansas City Chiefs
