| We've been busy since January cranking out Fantasy scouting profiles on some of the top prospects in the 2024 NFL Draft. Here we're going to provide a primer for where you can find Fantasy scouting profiles completed by Dave Richard, and Dan Schneier. At quarterback, a combination of Dan and Dave have put together scouting reports on the five quarterbacks likely to be selected in Round one of the 2024 NFL Draft. |
| Dave told us why he believes Penix has the potential to become a Fantasy football monster. He also lets us in on attributes that may contribute to Caleb Williams ultimately becoming the No. 1 overall Fantasy QB, while offering his thoughts on Williams' Dynasty outlook. |
| In his Jaden Daniels' scouting report, Dave highlights his ability as a dual-threat quarterback but raises questions about his overall durability. In his Drake Maye profile, Dave provides insight as to why comparisons to Josh Allen and Justin Herbert are overly optimistic. Additionally, Dan chimed in with his J.J. McCarthy scouting report, which underscores his accuracy and efficiency. |
| To this point, Dave has profiled four pass catchers in Marvin Harrison Jr., Malik Nabers, Brian Thomas Jr., and Brock Bowers, while Dan has offered his thoughts on Rome Odunze, likely the third wide receiver to be selected in the 2024 NFL Draft. Dave acknowledges Harrison's exceptional talent but also identifies areas for improvement in the top wide receiver prospect. In his last Dave also outlines numerous reasons to be bullish on LSU wide receiver Malik Nabers , while also giving Fantasy managers an in-depth review of Brock Bowers' Fantasy outlook. |
| Hot off the presses is Dave's Brian Thomas Jr. scouting report, which goes into great detail about the best team fits for his specific skill set. Dave also reveals how Thomas' former life as a hooper has helped him on the football field. In Dan's latest scouting report, he profiled Rome Odunze and pinpointed traits that will likely make him a viable Fantasy option rather early in his NFL career. |
| We'll have more quarterback, running back and wide receiver scouting reports as we head down the final stretch of NFL Draft coverage. |
| Below you'll find a few underrated players to keep an eye on throughout the draft process. If you plan on participating in Dynasty this year, a couple prospects listed may pique your interest as stash-worthy candidates. |
| 2024 Quarterback Class |
| The 2024 quarterback class is obviously headlined by the Caleb Williams, Drake Maye, Jaden Daniels, and J.J. McCarthy, but contrary to popular belief, there are other quarterbacks worth mentioning. One of the quarterbacks I'm particularly high on is Spencer Rattler out of South Carolina. He has the potential to be a stud in Dynasty. He's a player I'd stash due to his touch and accuracy in the vertical passing game. |
| |
| The other quarterback I absolutely love is Jason Bean out of Kansas. While several scouts are looking at him as a wide receiver at the moment, there's certainly upside here as a quarterback. He throws with great velocity and is incredibly accurate in the intermediate passing game. Bean also has 4.4 speed in the 40-yard dash and has long speed past the 40-yard mark. In high school he ran 10.4 in the 100-meter dash. That type of speed will make him tough to contain if provided an opportunity to compete at quarterback at the next level. He's certainly a player to keep an eye on. |
| 2024 Running Back Class |
| We'll get to all the top running backs in the 2024 NFL Draft very soon. If you're curious about how backs like Braelon Allen, Audric Estime, Trey Benson, and others fit into the Fantasy landscape, be sure to remain in lockstep with the latest Fantasy scouting reports from our FFT team. |
| |
| One ball carrier I'll have my eye on in Dynasty leagues is Marshall running back Rasheen Ali. He's got outstanding acceleration and vision. He does a great job of pressing the hole and setting up his blocks and using his above average burst to blow by defenders. Another one of my favorite running backs is Jaylen Wright who would be an early contributor to any offense that prioritizes outside zone. |
| 2024 Wide Receiver Class |
| This is one of the deeper wide receiver classes in recent memory, and with the proliferation of 7-on-7 at the high school level, this trend is likely to continue. There are so many receivers who will have an opportunity to play right away but the players I tend to fall in love with are the versatile guys who can line up at several positions. That player for me this year is Ainias Smith. |
| |
| Smith can contribute as an outside wide receiver, slot receiver, and in the backfield as a running back. I've been a big fan of his game for quite some time and believe he can be a factor in the return game from Day 1 given the new kickoff rules. If he lands in Pittsburgh and learns behind Cordarrelle Patterson, he could become a moveable chess piece that generates mismatches on a weekly basis. |
