Fantasy Football Draft Outlook: Nick Chubb, Cooper Kupp, Marvin Harrison Jr. (2024)

It’s never too early to start looking ahead at the fantasy landscape to see which expert consensus rankings you disagree with the most. There’s plenty of value out there being overlooked, as some in the space may be overreacting to disappointing seasons specific players had last year. The inverse is also true, as some fantasy managers may ignore changing circumstances and draft athletes higher than they should based on last year’s stats. Which players do our featured experts project differently than their peers? Check out our full article here. Below we dive into a few notable picks.

Fantasy Football Draft Advice

Nick Chubb (RB – CLE)

“Nick Chubb was a top-20 fantasy running back in each of the previous five seasons before his 2023 injury. He was the RB6 in 2022 and the RB10 in his one full game last year. I understand being afraid of injury, but calling him the RB25 seems to be dynasty-brain kicking in. In Redraft, Chubb should be going somewhere in the RB15 to 20 range at worst. His upside is undeniable, and we’ve seen backs return to form from knee injuries in recent years.”

Cooper Kupp (WR – LAR)

“Cooper Kupp is certainly not a lock to play elite football for 17 games in 2024; however, he ranks way, way too low at WR26. I think he can still play elite-ish fantasy football per start in 2024, and even missing a handful of games (and I do believe he does miss a few based on his age of 31), he easily earns top 15-20WR value this season. He is as low-risk as it gets at WR26.”

Marvin Harrison Jr. (WR – FA)

“I know why most analysts have Marvin Harrison Jr. ranked much lower than me with a current ECR (Expert Consensus Ranking) of WR 18. It’s because he’s a rookie. But not all rookies, or even draft classes, are cut from the same cloth. Marvin Harrison Jr. is special. He’s big (6’4″), he’s fast (estimated 40 time- 4.39), and he runs good routes. Marvin will be an impact player on day one, imo. And if he gets paired with a talented QB throwing him the ball- lookout! Ringo’s current ranking- WR 4! Ringo’s comp- Harrison Jr. is bigger and faster than his dad, who was an all-pro for the Colts. He reminds me of Julio Jones in his prime.”
