We’ve known Caleb Williams would be the first pick of the 2024 NFL Draft, but what about the rest of the skill position picks? And more importantly, what do these draft picks mean for fantasy football? Which rookies will make immediate impacts? Are they dynasty stashes? Will veterans see their values affected? I have the answers with all the fantasy football impacts.
Heads Up — Live updates for NFL Draft winners and losers for fantasy football are the first two nights (through the third round). Day 3 (Rounds 4-7) will come in groups, and the final NFL Draft Grades after the draft.
Heads Up #2 — If you want pre-draft scouting reports on my Top 80 players with fantasy comps, check it out here (and bookmark it for reference all year).
Heads Up #3 — Fantasy football rankings update! Can’t wait? New seasonal and dynasty ranks coming Sunday!
NFL Draft Round 1
Caleb Williams QB, Bears — Williams has Josh Allen upside and the risk of Sam Howell. With DJ Moore, Keenan Allen and more, Williams is in a good spot to succeed immediately. Williams is too aggressive at times, even attempting a big throw versus rushing, so don’t overvalue Williams after the success of C.J. Stroud. Williams is a fringe QB1 with 4000+ yards and 25+ touchdowns passing but still has the rookie risk of being a mid-QB2.
