Dynasty Advice: Bo Nix, Ladd McConkey, Marvin Harrison Jr. (Fantasy Football)

There’s no denying the 2024 rookie class exceeded all expectations from a dynasty perspective, specifically at the quarterback and wide receiver positions. If you loaded up on 2024 rookie picks in your dynasty league, chances are you saw a substantial increase in roster value this season.

With today’s article, I wanted to look back at the 2024 rookie class to see where player expectations should lie moving into Year 2. Which guys should we be investing in this offseason? Are there any sell-high candidates? I have the answers for you below. Here is dynasty fantasy football advice for second-year players.

Second-Year Dynasty Outlooks & Advice

The Foundational Pieces

The 2024 draft class produced several league-winning dynasty options for us to build our rosters around. For this article, we will be discussing dynasty value based on Superflex, tight end-premium formats, as this is generally the most common set-up.

Bo Nix (QB – DEN)

Four quarterbacks in the “foundational pieces“ section? That’s just how good this 2024 class was. Few players saw a more significant rise in dynasty value this past season than Bo Nix. This is no fluke; Nix is the real deal, and Sean Payton seems to love him. I would value him right in line with Caleb Williams.

The “Must-Start“ Assets

The players listed below may not necessarily have league-winning upside, but they are special players in their own right and are must-start assets every week. They should all be considered in rounds three or four of a Superflex startup draft.

Ladd McConkey (WR – LAC)

Ladd McConkey established himself as Justin Herbert‘s No. 1 WR as a rookie, finishing with 124 targets, 91 receptions, 1,346 yards and eight touchdowns. I wouldn’t worry about the possibility of the Chargers adding another receiving weapon. If anything, this should help open things up for McConkey.

Marvin Harrison Jr. (WR – ARI)

While Marvin Harrison Jr. failed to meet expectations in Year 1, I’m far from ready to call him a bust. Unfortunately, he was often used as a decoy deep, which Trey McBride benefited from underneath. Hopefully, Harrison will be schemed up in a more fantasy-friendly fashion in 2025.
