We've been busy since January cranking out Fantasy scouting profiles on some of the top prospects in the 2024 NFL Draft. Here we're going to provide a primer for where you can find Fantasy scouting profiles completed by Dave Richard, and Dan Schneier. At quarterback, a combination of Dan and Dave have put together scouting reports on the five quarterbacks likely to be selected in Round one of the 2024 NFL Draft. |

We'll have more quarterback, running back and wide receiver scouting reports as we head down the final stretch of NFL Draft coverage. |
Below you'll find a few underrated players to keep an eye on throughout the draft process. If you plan on participating in Dynasty this year, a couple prospects listed may pique your interest as stash-worthy candidates. |
2024 Quarterback Class |
The 2024 quarterback class is obviously headlined by the Caleb Williams, Drake Maye, Jaden Daniels, and J.J. McCarthy, but contrary to popular belief, there are other quarterbacks worth mentioning. One of the quarterbacks I'm particularly high on is Spencer Rattler out of South Carolina. He has the potential to be a stud in Dynasty. He's a player I'd stash due to his touch and accuracy in the vertical passing game. |
|
The other quarterback I absolutely love is Jason Bean out of Kansas. While several scouts are looking at him as a wide receiver at the moment, there's certainly upside here as a quarterback. He throws with great velocity and is incredibly accurate in the intermediate passing game. Bean also has 4.4 speed in the 40-yard dash and has long speed past the 40-yard mark. In high school he ran 10.4 in the 100-meter dash. That type of speed will make him tough to contain if provided an opportunity to compete at quarterback at the next level. He's certainly a player to keep an eye on. |
2024 Running Back Class |
We'll get to all the top running backs in the 2024 NFL Draft very soon. If you're curious about how backs like Braelon Allen, Audric Estime, Trey Benson, and others fit into the Fantasy landscape, be sure to remain in lockstep with the latest Fantasy scouting reports from our FFT team. |
|
One ball carrier I'll have my eye on in Dynasty leagues is Marshall running back Rasheen Ali. He's got outstanding acceleration and vision. He does a great job of pressing the hole and setting up his blocks and using his above average burst to blow by defenders. Another one of my favorite running backs is Jaylen Wright who would be an early contributor to any offense that prioritizes outside zone. |
2024 Wide Receiver Class |
This is one of the deeper wide receiver classes in recent memory, and with the proliferation of 7-on-7 at the high school level, this trend is likely to continue. There are so many receivers who will have an opportunity to play right away but the players I tend to fall in love with are the versatile guys who can line up at several positions. That player for me this year is Ainias Smith. |
|
Smith can contribute as an outside wide receiver, slot receiver, and in the backfield as a running back. I've been a big fan of his game for quite some time and believe he can be a factor in the return game from Day 1 given the new kickoff rules. If he lands in Pittsburgh and learns behind Cordarrelle Patterson, he could become a moveable chess piece that generates mismatches on a weekly basis. |
