Fantasy Football 2019: All rookie mock draft for dynasty leagues

Our fantasy football expert goes through a three-round rookie mock draft for dynasty leagues, ranking the top 36 prospects out there.

Maybe you’re like me, and you have been scouring the web basically since the Super Bowl, trying to find information about the incoming NFL rookies and their potential value in fantasy football. If so, you probably haven’t found much.

I may be a fantasy football nerd, as my wife calls me, but I do make good money at this hobby, and maybe some of you do too. It is information that gives fantasy football players the upper hand; good information makes us money.

What I aim to provide in this article is good information, and essentially a ranking of the top 36 incoming rookies for dynasty fantasy football purposes. These rankings are based on every piece of information I have consumed over the past couple months, including the mock drafts I have found, solid research from professionals in the industry I have paid for in order to get a handle on these incoming players, and my own experience in assessing players and judging class after class of rookies for fantasy purposes.

My personal favorite resource for all things rookies is Matt Waldman’s Rookie Scouting Portfolio. I find Matt’s insights to be the best in the business, and I have certainly given his scouting research heavy weighting within my own rankings. Also a shout out to the KC Draft Guide, which was just published this year for the first time and is an excellent resource not just for Chiefs fans but for anyone interested in great rookie scouting and assessment.

I will list this ranking of rookie players in a mock draft format, since that is the way most of us dynasty players will be grabbing these players (others might use an auction format, but that is more rare for dynasty rookie drafts).

One final thing I will mention is that this order represents how I would draft these players in an FFPC dynasty league, since those are the best dynasty leagues around in my opinion. They have a tight end premium scoring system (with 1.5 points per reception for tight ends), so keep that in mind here – if your league does not have tight end premium scoring, that would push the tight ends down a few spots.

This is being done before we know their teams, and I’ll come back with a post-NFL draft mock in a month or so.

Let’s begin with round 1.
