Dynasty Rookie Draft Advice: Ben Sinnott, Jaheim Bell, Jayden Daniels (Fantasy Football)

The fantasy football season has come to an end, but that doesn’t mean the NFL stops. It’s time to start getting excited for the 2024 NFL Draft. Dynasty fantasy football managers and redraft players alike can dive into the upcoming class of fantasy football rookies to prepare for the 2024 NFL season. We’ll take a look at players to know from the 2024 NFL Draft class.

Dynasty Rookie Draft Prospects

Ben Sinnott (Kansas State )

Stats:

2023 (minimum 20 targets)
- Yards per route run: 10th
- PFF receiving grade: 9th

2022 (minimum 20 targets)
- Yards per route run: 48th
- PFF receiving grade: 36th

Scouting report:

Sinnott has a strong lower half that serves him well as a blocker and as a receiving option. Sinnott can push defenders off their mark as a blocker and utilize his legs to break tackles as a receiver. He forced the third-most missed tackles among tight ends last year.
Sinnott is an underrated athlete. He uncovers quickly in routes with smooth hips while having decent speed and strong tackle-breaking ability. Sinnott was mostly utilized as an underneath receiving option, but he was also given the occasional seam shot. He has the speed to threaten down the seam. Sinnott is talented enough as a receiving option to develop into a trusted third option in an NFL passing game.
Kansas State used him as a fullback at times or as a pulling option on rushing plays. Sinnott had no issues clearing the road. He’s a solid blocking option across the board, with at least a 71.4 PFF grade in both pass pro and run blocking last season.

Jaheim Bell (Florida State )

Stats:

2023 (minimum 20 targets)
- Yards per route run: 13th
- PFF receiving grade: 18th

2022 (minimum 20 targets)
- Yards per route run: 28th
- PFF receiving grade: 16th

2021 (minimum 20 targets)
- Yards per route run: 1st
- PFF receiving grade: 8th

Scouting report:

Tough to tackle in the open field. Bell is a quarterback’s best friend with his abilities after the catch. He has the speed to turn a short check-down into a big gain at any time. Over the last three seasons (minimum 20 targets), he has ranked inside the top 12 in both YAC per reception (11th, 10th, first) and missed tackles forced (seventh, eighth, fourth).
Bell is a smooth operator in routes. He has easy acceleration in and out of his breaks. He is tough to push off his routes with his thick, muscular frame.
Bell will be a matchup problem in the NFL. He’s too physical for nickel corners to handle and too quick for linebackers to hang with at times on crossers.

Scouting Report:

Daniels’ quarterback play is refreshing. With a sizable contingent of quarterbacks in this year’s class operating in quick passing and screen-heavy offenses, watching Daniels go through progressions is a treat. He has quiet feet in the pocket. He’s a quick processor who has no issues getting to even his third read on some plays. He managed to get to his “next read” on 14.8% of his dropbacks in 2023. You won’t find Daniels with tunnel vision for his first option.
Daniels has easy flick of the wrist velocity and while he doesn’t have a cannon, he can chuck it an easy 50 yards with plenty of mustard to push it farther. His deep ball is exquisite, with him hitting receivers in stride on plenty of boundary throws, but he can shorten some deep balls at times, which I attribute to his random hiccups in the short and intermediate areas of the field. His base can be inconsistent at times and while it might only happen a handful of times in a game, it’s still an area of improvement for this stellar prospect.
Daniels is a fantastic anticipatory passer. He’ll cut loose passes before the receiver has reached the top of his stem and hit them on the money on a comeback. He has no issues pushing the ball into tight windows but he is also quite happy to take layup completions if they are available to him. Daniels has no problems putting up a 50/50 ball and asking his guy to go win. He plays with tempered aggression. Daniels had the fourth-lowest turnover-worthy play rate while also ranking third in big-time throw rate.
His ball placement continuously offers yards after the catch (YAC) opportunities as he hits his receivers in stride. That is important, especially in today’s NFL, where zone and two high are all the rage.
Daniels has no problems playing from the pocket. He doesn’t look to take off and anytime he’s moved off his mark, he keeps his eyes downfield the entire time, looking for an open receiver. That’s not to say Daniels isn’t a dynamic game-changing rusher. Daniels has hit 21 miles per hour (MPH) at LSU’s practices, so I have no worries about his 40 time (probably 4.4/4.5). Daniels changes direction with no issues in the open field and has the acceleration to gain the edge. His biggest issue is that he needs to slide more. He’ll duck out of bounds easily on the perimeter, but in the interior, he has taken some huge shots.
