Dynasty Advice: Drake Maye, Caleb Williams, Brian Thomas 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.

Drake Maye (QB – NE)

The things Drake Maye was able to do as a rookie, given his putrid offensive line and lack of receiving options, were truly incredible. Maye has the big-play ability and rushing upside to be an elite dynasty option for the next decade. Let’s hope New England invests in a real receiver early in this year’s draft.

Brian Thomas Jr. (WR – JAX)

The analytics community was not fully sold on Brian Thomas Jr. when he first entered the league, but he’s put all those concerns to bed after a legendary rookie season. I expect new Jaguars head coach Liam Coen to bring Trevor Lawrence‘s game to another level, which will help elevate Thomas’s game even further. Thomas is easily a top-eight dynasty wide receiver moving forward.

Caleb Williams (QB – CHI)

Caleb Williams’ rookie season was a slight disappointment in terms of production, but he flashed enough for us to be excited in dynasty. Enter new head coach Ben Johnson, who had Detroit operating as a top NFL offense the past two seasons, and we may have something here. Williams should be considered a borderline top-24 Superflex asset.
