2024 Fantasy Draft Big Board
Before we dive into my top 200 rankings, I’d like to warn you against two of the biggest draft mistakes I see people make when using a comprehensive rankings list like this one.
First, don’t ignore ADP (Average Draft Position). If you draft a player far ahead of their current ADP, you’re simply sacrificing a ton of value by selecting these guys too early! Instead, focus on drafting players you know are unlikely to make it back to you the next time you’re on the clock. If you think a player will fall a couple of more rounds, then exercise some patience before selecting them.
Second, these fantasy football rankings should be used merely as a guide. It’s alright to follow the overall rankings closely through the first few rounds, but as you progress through your fantasy draft, your current roster construction and team needs should become more of a factor in your decision-making (i.e., positional rankings become more important than overall rankings).
For instance, if you get two running backs to start a draft, selecting a third RB in the third round likely isn’t the best use of draft capital, even if a running back is the top-ranked available player according to this list. A good rule of thumb is you almost never want your third RB before your third WR. If it’s not already clear, once you’ve drafted a QB or TE in league formats where you only start one, avoid drafting another even if they appear at the top of the list. The surplus at those positions makes it pointless to carry more than one on your roster at any time (save for bye weeks).
Without further ado, let’s take a look at my overall fantasy football rankings!
