2017 Fantasy Football: New rookie QB, RB, WR, TE rankings

2017, Fantasy, Football, Rookie, QB, WR, RB, rankings

Rookies can make or break a fantasy football season, so it’s time to get familiar with these names from the 2017 NFL Draft. We ranked them based on position, playing time potential and strength of the team that drafted them. In other words, we’re looking at the best bets to become fantasy football studs for the 2017 season.

Remember, this is a forecast for 2017 only. Mitch Trubisky should be a fine pro, but if you’re counting on him to win you fantasy games this season – you might as well quit now.

 

1. John Ross, WR, Bengals: The pressure will be off Ross with AJ Green as the incumbent No. 1. He’ll be a factor in Cincy right off the bat.

2. Dalvin Cook, RB, Vikings: Cook should pick up right where Adrian Peterson left off.

3. Leonard Fournette, RB, Jaguars: Fournette will be the focal point of the Jags’ offense, but he’s talented enough to be a premier fantasy back right out of the gate.

4. Christian McCaffrey, RB, Panthers: Carolina is due for a bounceback season and McCaffrey will be involved immediately.

5. Joe Mixon, RB, Bengals: Mixon could be Cincy’s best back in years.

6. Curtis Samuel, WR, Panthers

7. Juju Smith-Schuster, WR, Steelers

8. Mike Williams, WR, Chargers

9. Corey Davis, WR, Titans

10. O.J Howard, TE, Buccaneers
