Below are our post-draft 2016 Rookie Rankings. We still rounds 4-7 to go, so note that some of the players ranked below could jump up, or down, depending on what team drafts them, or doesn’t draft them, in rounds 4-7. An example of a guy who could jump high is Kenneth Dixon, or even Devontae Booker.

Top Fantasy Football Rankings – Post Draft

Ezekiel Elliott RB DAL – He couldn’t have landed in a better spot. He has top 5RB upside for the future and possibly top 5-10 upside for 2016.
Corey Coleman WR CLE – Very talented, he just needs consistent QB play, which may or may not happen in CLE.
Josh Doctson WR WAS – Also very talented. Great landing spot.
Laquon Treadwell WR MIN – Not elite speed wise but if he gets enough targets, which is questionable in MIN, he could develop into a solid NFL wide receiver in 2-3 years.
Derrick Henry RB TEN – Horrible landing spot, as DeMarco Murray is the main man in TEN.
Will Fuller WR HOU – Decent spot, but given Hopkins is a top 1-3 fantasy WR, it’s tough seeing Fuller ever becoming a stud in fantasy.
Kenneth Dixon RB TBA – Hopefully he lands in a good spot in rounds 4-7. If not, he could drop on these rankings. He could also climb high if he finds a great situation. Sleeper!
Carson Wentz QB PHI – Solid situation, good talent. Not sure he is ever going to be a top 5 fantasy QB, though.
Jared Goff QB LA – Same thing said about Wentz goes here.
Paxton Lynch QB DEN – He excites us a touch more than the other two QBs above, but he is more raw and could take longer to develop.
CJ Prosise RB SEA – Not a great spot, but Rawls isn’t exactly a for sure – yet.
Devontae Booker RB TBA – Could be huge if he gets drafted into the right spot in rounds 4-7, or he could drop off the map if drafted as a total backup.
Alex Collins RB TBA – Where will he go? If drafted into a good spot, he jumps a ton! Sleeper!
Michael Thomas WR NO – Good spot, good talent.
Kenyan Drake RB MIA – Good spot, but we don’t love his upside, so this is a good thing for Jay Ajayi.
Tyler Boyd WR CIN – Not elite.
Sterling Shepard WR NYG – Not likely elite.
Braxton Miller WR HOU – Crowded situation.
Leonte Carroo WR MIA – Solid talent, but very, very crowded situation.
The Rest
Keith Marshall RB TBA
Christian Hackenberg QB NYJ
Wendell Smallwood RB TBA
Deandre Washington RB TBA
Hunter Henry TE SD
Austin Hooper TE ATL
