Rookie Overall Dynasty Fantasy Rankings

Besides the proven pros of the NFL, you’re going to have to pick some rookies for your lineup. It’s hard to tell, because college production does not equal NFL production. Regardless, based on things like taking another player’s place to simply having a ton of hype around them, here’s a list of the top players in rookie overall fantasy rankings.

Jameson Williams

Williams may not hit the field until October, making him a tough guy to stash in redraft formats. Goff’s average depth of throw has decreased over the last four seasons, with his most recent 2021 mark (6.8) ranking dead last among 38th qualifying quarterbacks. He has also averaged just 13 completions of 20-plus air yards the last two seasons. However, Williams does possess top-tier YAC-ability so he should be able to salvage some production when he returns from injury. And although Goff’s lack of deep game isn’t ideal, we have seen him fuel top fantasy WR seasons before in Los Angeles and Detroit. Fantasy managers have the chance to score a potential fantasy points machine.

Drake London

Drake London boasts all the skills to be a top receiver for the Atlanta Falcons. He only played in eight games due to an ankle injury but made every game count. He commanded a 38% target share, led all WRs in contested catches (19) and in receptions per game (11.0). London concluded the year third in yards per route run (3.52) in his draft class. While London doesn’t have the best performing quarterbacks to help him generate more points, he still has the ability to produce an outstanding rookie season with the potential for a greater share volume.

Breece Hall

The Jets selected the Iowa State running back at the top of Round 2, signifying his status as the team’s locked-in RB1 for the foreseeable future. He totaled over 4,500 yards from scrimmage, 50 touchdowns, and 80 catches over three seasons in the college ranks. Based on estimated workloads, if hall has upwards of 240 touches, he will be ranked within the top-15 in NFL running backs. Hall has 2021 fourth-rounder Michael Carter as a competitor for the Jets’ No.1 RB. Carter had his moments as a rookie, but the Jets know he’s just a No. 2 running back. This is evident based on the amount of work and effort placed into making Hall the next big thing.

Treylon Burks

Treylon Burks finished first in his class in yards per route run (3.57) while also ranking No. 1 in yards per route run when lined up outside (6.08) among all receivers. The rookie’s 8.5 yards after the catch rank 14th among 169 qualifying wide receivers (92nd percentile) over the past two seasons. His elite college production and top-notch 32% dominator rating speak for themselves. He also has the chance to produce good numbers because he doesn’t have much competition besides from Robert Woods, who’s coming off of a torn ACL.

Ken Walker III

Walker’s value isn’t that great in PPR-dominant leagues, but Walker has the opportunity to be set as No.1 running back for the Seahawks, despite problems with low share-percentages for running backs from measly quarterbacks Drew Lock and Geno Smith. Walker possesses the groundwork to be an effective rusher at the next level. Breaking tackles and creating after contact in college translates to the pros extremely well, as seen most recently by Denver Broncos running back Javonte Williams. It’ll be an uphill battle for him to produce more points, but his potential is certainly high.
