10 potential fantasy stars from the 2024 NFL Draft

If you're looking for tremendous value in fantasy football, look no further than the 2024 NFL Draft.

Last year, several rookies, such as Falcons running back Bijan Robinson, Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua and Lions tight end Sam LaPorta won players their fantasy championships. 

Here are 10 rookies in this year's draft that could do the same.

Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr.

The No. 4 overall pick is the bonafide No. 1 wide receiver Arizona and fantasy players have been searching for.

Harrison Jr., the son of Hall of Fame wide receiver Marvin Harrison, reeled in 144 catches for 2,474 yards and 28 touchdowns the past two seasons at Ohio State.

He'll have a chance to do the same with the Cardinals, teaming up with QB Kyler Murray and joining an underwhelming room that includes Michael Wilson, a third-round pick in 2023, and Greg Dortch, an undrafted free agent in 2019.

Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy

Kansas City traded up to pick No. 28 to grab Worthy and for good reason. The Chiefs haven't had a player of Worthy's speed since trading Tyreek Hill to the Dolphins in 2022.

The Texas product ran the fastest 40-yard dash (4.21 seconds) in NFL Combine history. Pairing that with QB Patrick Mahomes is the makings of a deadly fantasy duo.

The team did add wide receiver Marquise Brown in free agency, but with Rashee Rice's status up in the air, Worthy has incredible upside in 2024 and beyond.

Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman

The Bills have needed a new No. 1 wide receiver since trading Stefon Diggs to the Texans. Coleman should be exactly that, especially now knowing that QB Josh Allen hand-picked him.

"He texted me the day of and was like, 'You're the guy I want. I watched a lot of receivers and I want to play with you,'" Coleman said, via the team's website.

Coleman's big frame (6-foot-3, 213 pounds) should also help him become the favorite target of Allen in the frigid Buffalo temperatures over former fifth-round pick Khalil Shakir and veteran Curtis Samuel, who just joined the team in free agency.

Bears quarterback Caleb Williams

It's rare that a rookie quarterback is set up as well as Williams is in Chicago. 

The No. 1 overall pick has an arsenal of weapons that includes running back D'Andre Swift, wide receivers DJ Moore, Keenan Allen and Rome Odunze as well as tight ends Cole Kmet and Gerald Everett.

The USC product can also make plays with his legs when needed as he ran for 518 yards and 21 touchdowns the past two years.

Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers

New York hasn't had a playmaker of Nabers' talent since Odell Beckham Jr. The No. 6 overall pick had 89 catches for 1,569 yards and 14 touchdowns in 2023.

The biggest question is if you trust QB Daniel Jones to get him the ball. However, offensive-minded head coach Brian Daboll will do his best to get the ball in his hands early and often.

The Giants still have Darius Slayton, Jalin Hyatt and Wan'Dale Robinson in their wide receiver room, but it could get thinner soon with Slayton holding out amidst a contract dispute. Tight end Darren Waller is also debating retirement, which would open even more targets for Nabers.

Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels

Like Williams, Daniels is quietly set up for success in Washington. 

The No. 2 overall pick has running backs Austin Ekeler and Brian Robinson Jr., wide receivers Terry McLaurin, Jahan Dotson and Luke McCaffery and tight end Zach Ertz at his disposal.

Daniels is a dangerous, dual-threat quarterback, rushing for 2,019 yards and 21 touchdowns the past two years at LSU, which only adds to his fantasy value.

Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey

Los Angeles parted ways with wide receivers Keenan Allen (Bears) and Mike Williams (Jets) this offseason. That left a glaring hole that needed to be filled, and the team did so with McConkey.

The Georgia product is an elite separator, catching 119 balls for 1,687 yards and 14 touchdowns that past three seasons.

The Chargers will likely have a run-first mentality under new head coach Jim Harbaugh, but at the same time, he won't let QB Justin Herbert's big arm go to waste.

McConkey could quickly become Herbert's No. 1 target in an underwhelming receiving corps of wide receivers Quentin Johnston and Joshua Palmer and tight ends Will Dissly and Hayden Hurst.

Raiders tight end Brock Bowers

It's hard to find a tight end with as much upside as Bowers. The No. 13 overall pick isn't entering an ideal situation with QBs Gardner Minshew and Aidan O'Connell at the helm, but talented players always find ways to make plays.

Bowers has done exactly that at Georgia the past three years with 175 receptions for 2,538 yards and 26 touchdowns.

Wide receiver Davante Adams will still get his looks, but Bowers could easily become the No. 2 option in the Raiders offense.

Panthers running back Jonathon Brooks

Running back was not a strong point in this year's draft class, but Brooks is the best of the bunch after rushing for 1,139 yards and 10 touchdowns last season.

Carolina traded up to snag him in the second round (No. 46), which means the team likely has big plans for him.

The Texas product will have to win the job from running backs Chuba Hubbard and Miles Sanders, but neither have proven yet that they should be the Panthers' lead back.

Steelers wide receiver Roman Wilson

Pittsburgh always finds a way to land talented wide receivers outside of the first round. So it wouldn't be surprising if the team found yet another Pro Bowler in Wilson in the third round (No. 84).

The Steelers needed to add another wide receiver to pair with George Pickens after trading Diontae Johnson (Panthers) earlier this offseason. The Michigan product should slide right into that role after finding the end zone 12 times in 2023.

Wilson should also benefit from Pittsburgh's upgraded quarterback room of Russell Wilson and Justin Fields.
