The 2024 Fantasy Football season isn’t quite in full swing yet but we’re gearing up and the unofficial “OK it’s happening” moment for me every offseason is when we have the Fantasy Football Today magazine draft.

There were more wide receivers selected in the first round of this draft than any other position. After seeing Travis Kelce come off the board in almost every first round last summer, this draft also featured no tight ends and no quarterbacks selected in the first round. Most of the wide receivers selected were chalky picks, but we saw Garrett Wilson come off the board all the way up at No. 10 overall. Earlier this week, I broke down why Wilson is one of my most wanted players in 2024. Naturally, I love the pick by producer Thomas!
Where the rookies were drafted
Because this draft took place in early June before training camp, we’ve yet to experience the rookie bumps due to training camp buzz, highlights and coach speak. I expect just about every rookie selected in this draft to come off the board earlier in August drafts with the exception of Marvin…
