What to expect?

- Fantasy Winners: Both Ladd McConkey and Keon Coleman find themselves in mouth-watering situations for immediate production. Will they be able to produce for the Chargers and Bills?

- What to do with Jonathon Brooks: While he didn't end up in everyone's dream destination, Dallas, Brooks steps into a role where he could have a lot of opportunity, but the situation is far from ideal. How should fantasy managers respond?

- and more!



From landing spot reactions to how these instant-impact rookies will fit into the fantasy fold in 2024, we leave no stone unturned as we unearth everything you need to know to dominate your fantasy football rookie drafts for 2024.
