With the NFL Draft now a week behind us, most rookie drafts will be underway soon for your dynasty leagues. Today, I’ll give you my top 75 rookies for single-QB, half-PPR leagues. If your league is SuperFlex, Joe Burrow should be the 1.01 with Tua Tagovailoa an acceptable pick anywhere from 1.02 to 1.05. Justin Herbert should be going after the top four running backs and right around the range of the top two wide receivers. Before we get into the full set of rankings, let me tell you about my favorite values from all five rounds of 2020 dynasty drafts.

J.K. Dobbins (RB – BAL)
While I don’t love Dobbins as much for 2020 as I do D’Andre Swift, who should immediately see 250+ touches, Dobbins has a much stronger long-term outlook. This primarily has to do with the offense he is in, which just happened to break the all-time single-season team rushing record last year. A running quarterback like Lamar Jackson always benefits his running back from a fantasy perspective, plus Baltimore has a strong offensive line too.
Darrynton Evans (RB – TEN)
Much like Dobbins above, Evans isn’t going to be a league-winner in 2020 consider Derrick Henry just signed his franchise tender. He very well could be out the door, however, after this season and assuming he is, Evans would have immediate RB1 upside behind Tennesse’s dominant offensive line. Evans is sliding into the early 3rd in most dynasty drafts that have already taken place but I’d be comfortable grabbing him in the mid to late second.
Tyler Johnson (WR – TB)
When we get into the third round, it’s very difficult to find a contributor that you can rely on. Johnson, though, may be starting for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this season now that Breshad Perriman is gone. All he has to do is beat out Justin Watson and Scotty Miller for targets, and if you’ve seen this big slot with top-tier hands play, you’ll agree that it will be a breeze. What’s more, is that if either Mike Evans or Chris Godwin suffers an injury, Johnson would see loads of targets.
DeeJay Dallas (RB – SEA)
Dallas is stuck behind Chris Carson and Rashaad Penny on the depth chart, and frankly, isn’t even a lock to make the roster, but this is still an excellent landing spot for him for several reasons. Carson runs so aggressively that injuries are even more likely for a runner like him and Penny has already dealt with his share of injuries. If Dallas makes the team as the #3, he could find himself as the lead-back of a strong offense committed to the run much like Raheem Mostert last season and Carson, himself, the year before.
Jeff Thomas (WR – NE)
Remember when Tyreek Hill wasn’t drafted until the fifth round of the NFL Draft because of off-the-field concerns? Say hello to Jeff Thomas. Ok, he isn’t as fast as the world-class Tyreek, but this kid an absolute blazer. What’s more, is that he is a reliable slot weapon and has much more upside to grow into. If he can stay out of trouble, the Pats may have a Tyler Lockett-like weapon on their hands before long. He is a must-have at the end of drafts for me this season.
