He can both make plays from the pocket and create havoc with his legs. 1 overall pick heading to a team which added an offensive-minded coach this offseason and three receivers in the draft, but he has the perfect blend of skills for fantasy success. There is no question about who should be the top quarterback. With the lack of proven talent at running back and receiver, there is room for a truly special quarterback to sneak into the first round, and the Cardinals drafted one of those No. This year could prove to be an exception. Two-quarterback formats are the exception, but in most cases it is important to avoid overvaluing rookie quarterbacks in Dynasty, especially in shallower leagues. *Note: A top 50 follows the position-by-position rankings. This year’s draft cannot be foregone completely, though, and there are still some interesting names both at the top and throughout the draft. The pick next year is likely to be more valuable even if it ends up in the same spot. With that in mind, it makes sense for teams picking at the end of the first round, squads which likely have good roster situations, to trade their 2019 first for a 2020 first and a sweetener where possible. That is not expected to be the case next year, especially for a running back class which is expected to feature Wisconsin’s Jonathan Taylor, Georgia’s D’Andre Swift, and Clemson’s Travis Etienne among many, many others. That is not to say there is no value in this group, but this is a relatively weak crop of Dynasty rookies. The running back class lacks both high-end talent and significant depth, receiver has a strong foundation but questionable peak, the quarterback group only has one really transcendent player, and the fall off after the first two tight ends is dramatic. This, however, is an interesting (read: disappointing) year for Dynasty rookies. For those who play Dynasty, however, the beginning of May brings with it the start of rookie draft season, a time of year filled with hope and proclamations about long-term upside never likely to be realized. For those poor souls who only get a taste of fantasy football once redraft season begins in full force over the summer, the NFL Draft is just a brief respite in the football desert.
