The NFL Draft has come to a close, and now it’s time to analyze how the rookies will fit into their new teams. Matt Harmon and Charles McDonald recently discussed their thoughts on the rookie fantasy fits they love, the ones they question, and the picks that are great in real life but may not be as exciting for fantasy football purposes.
One standout rookie fantasy fit that Harmon and McDonald both love is WR Ladd McConkey joining the Chargers. They believe McConkey’s pairing with quarterback Justin Herbert could lead to a productive rookie season, potentially outshining other rookie receivers. They are also high on RB Trey Benson heading to Arizona, predicting he could be a late-season “league winner” in 2024. However, they have differing opinions on the Dolphins’ selection of RB Jaylen Wright.
Moving on to picks they question for fantasy purposes, Harmon is skeptical of WR Keon Coleman in Buffalo, while McDonald trusts Josh Allen’s talent to make it work. They also wonder how WR Malachi Corley will be utilized in New York under coach Nathanial Hackett.
Finally, the duo discussed picks that were great in real life but may not excite fantasy football players. The selection of RB Blake Corum by the L.A. Rams caused some concern in the fantasy community, as did the Green Bay Packers’ choice of RB Marshawn Lloyd after signing Josh Jacobs earlier in the offseason.
Overall, the NFL Draft has provided plenty of intriguing storylines for fantasy football enthusiasts to follow as they prepare for the upcoming season.
