The 2024 NFL Draft is only about five months away, meaning dynasty fantasy football rookie draft season will be here sooner than you know it.
With Superflex formats quickly rising to be the way to play dynasty, here’s a three-round, 10-team 2024 Superflex dynasty fantasy football rookie mock draft as we begin to dial in how drafts could shake out.
2024 Dynasty Rookie Mock Draft | Round 1
For this 2024 dynasty football mock draft, we’ll use Superflex as our base roster construction and a PPR-scoring format.
While this dynasty mock draft will guide how a draft might go, it’s still recommended to draft based on your team’s needs.
Additionally, this will fluctuate a lot between now and the draft. This mock is not considering landing spots, which will change things, especially in the middle rounds and with quarterbacks. The deadline for underclassmen is coming in the next two weeks as well, so the pool of talent is changing daily.
Also, the community of fantasy managers will establish the ADP, so this is how I would draft it. Therefore, take this as a guide on where possible values could be hiding.
1.01) Caleb Williams, QB, USC
The value of dual-threat quarterbacks in fantasy leagues gives Caleb Williams a noticeable advantage over his peers. Even though Drake Maye could go before Williams in the NFL Draft, the USC QB is the more explosive player with his arm and legs.
Chances are that Williams’ coaching staff will utilize his entire repertoire of skills more than Maye’s will since he’s not as much of a threat with his legs.
Williams didn’t have the same production level in 2023 as he did in 2022 when he won the Heisman, but the team was plagued with issues. His rare arm talent, playmaking outside of the pocket, and overall feel for the game make Williams a tremendous prospect who can anchor your team for years.
1.02) Marvin Harrison Jr., WR, Ohio State
There will absolutely be leagues where Marvin Harrison Jr. goes No. 1 overall. If he ends up with a quality QB, he’ll be picked as highly in redrafts as Bijan Robinson was despite being a rookie.

With Chicago seeing positive signs out of Justin Fields and securing the No. 1 pick again, we’re moving Harrison above Maye. The Bears must consider using the top pick on Harrison, or at least trading down to land the Buckeyes’ star.
Harrison has the skill set, frame, and raw talent to be the next A.J. Green. He’s a slam dunk to be a star. The question is whether he can produce at that level regardless of his QB in Year 1 or if an abysmal situation will tank him.
1.03) Drake Maye, QB, North Carolina
Maye could overtake Williams as the No. 1 pick, so it’s not as if the North Carolina star lacks talent. Built like Justin Herbert, Maye has a huge arm, good athleticism for his 6’4″, 235-pound frame, and is an aggressive passer. He can walk in on Day 1 and be highly productive if his surrounding cast is decent.
The question with Maye is whether his legs will give him enough scoring potential to overtake Williams and stave off Jayden Daniels. He’s a great passing prospect, but there’s been little thought as to whether he could shoulder the offense’s load like Josh Allen does. That could be an avenue of untapped upside.
1.04) Malik Nabers, WR, LSU
While Harrison is the complete prospect who would be a star in any decade of the NFL’s history, Malik Nabers might have been created in a lab to dominate in today’s era.
Nabers has lightning-quick agility to go with elite deep speed. He tortured defenses from the slot on go routes just as effectively as he created separation on hard-breaking routes on the outside.
Nabers’ effortless ability to accelerate to top speed, drop his hips throughout routes, and compete for the ball at the catch point make him an elite receiving prospect. Think of how well Garrett Wilson transitioned to the NFL, and Nabers is almost a carbon copy.
1.05) Jayden Daniels, QB, LSU
It’s impossible to deny the incredible developmental path that Daniels produced in college.
He was unstoppable in 2023 en route to winning the Heisman Trophy. His ability to create with his legs and connect on deep passes will be challenged in the NFL much more than it was at LSU, but Daniels has proven to be a hard worker who can continue to improve.
It’s not out of the question whether Daniels could produce similarly to Jalen Hurts in fantasy if he goes to the right situation. For now, he’s QB3, but don’t be shocked if he overtakes Maye in the right landing spot.
1.06) Rome Odunze, WR, Washington
There wasn’t a more feared deep-threat receiver this season than Rome Odunze. The 6’2″, 200-pound receiver showed tremendous acumen and feel for the game when targeted in single coverage. His ability to get leverage on defenders, use his body to shield the catch point, and then only bring his hands up as the ball entered his chest area were expert moves.
Guarding Odunze isn’t as simple as running with him. He’ll need another gutsy QB to be maximized in the NFL because he doesn’t create a ton of separation, but his upside is that of a consistent 1,000-yard producer in the right situation.
1.07) Brock Bowers, TE, Georgia
Finally, a tight end to break the curse of first-round playmakers at the position. Unless Brock Bowers ends up in Atlanta, the Georgia star is about as foolproof as prospects come at the position. He checks every box, boasting good size, elite speed, body control through routes, and experience producing at a high level.

Bowers is more of a receiver than a tight end thanks to his movement ability. He has the talent to be one of the few TEs who have an entire offense built around them. Hopefully, he’ll end up in a situation with a quarterback and offensive coordinator who will maximize his immense skill set.
1.08) Keon Coleman, WR, Florida State
While Odunze finished the year with the honors of being the top receiver at the catch point, Keon Coleman established himself as the best alpha in the class. The 6’4″ playmaker will snatch the ball out of the air with supreme strength and confidence.
If anything, Florida State underutilized Coleman. He has the physical traits to be even more than a jump-ball threat because of his speed. His competitiveness and frame will be assets on quicker routes, but the Seminoles didn’t highlight those parts of his game.
Like Odunze, Coleman will need a QB who trusts him to win.
1.09) Brian Thomas Jr., WR, LSU
There are only so many 6’4″, 205-pound pass catchers who boast 4.4 deep speed and the quickness of someone under six feet tall. Brian Thomas Jr. exploded with a massive 2023 season, producing 68 receptions for 1,177 yards and 17 touchdowns. He routinely used his blend of length and speed to torture defenses for not sending at least two defenders his way.

Thomas is still a bit raw as a route runner due to the scheme, and his high cut likely means he’ll stick to vertical routes in the NFL. But if he’s paired with a gutsy QB, Thomas should be an explosive receiver who can be a league-winner with his best performances.
1.10) Michael Penix Jr., QB, Washington
The race for the QB3 spot in the class might be swinging in Michael Penix Jr.’s favor as the College Football Playoff continues to play out. After a season that was deserving of the Heisman Trophy, Penix delivered one of his finest games against Texas in the Sugar Bowl. His playmaking under pressure, pocket maneuverability, and incredible accuracy were on display throughout the contest.
Although Penix doesn’t have the rushing chops or elite physical traits to match the best fantasy quarterbacks, he can be as effective as Brock Purdy, Tua Tagovailoa, and Jared Goff have been in terrific offenses.
