2024 Dynasty Superflex Rookie Rankings
Who Should You Target (After Caleb Williams)?
USC QB Caleb Williams finally confirmed what we all expected.
He waited until Monday's deadline to declare for the NFL Draft. But his entry secures Williams as the top player in our dynasty superflex rookie rankings.
Of course, you probably won’t get Williams if you pick any later than first in your superflex rookie draft. But there are plenty more guys to like in this class – even at QB.

Two More QBs Near the Leader
Drake Maye, UNC
Expect to see Maye commonly ranked right behind Williams by draftniks after he threw 62 TD passes vs. just 16 INTs across two years as a starter. But you should probably be even more interested in the rushing.
Among QBs expected to be drafted this year, only the next guy on this list ran for more yards each of the past two seasons.
Maye reached a high of 899 rushing yards in 2022 (excluding yards lost to sacks), according to Pro Football Focus.
Jayden Daniels, LSU
Daniels ran for more than 700 yards each of the past three seasons – and that’s with sack yardage removed (as NCAA stats work).
Add those yards back in, and he racked up these three rushing totals:
- 844
- 1,079
- 1,250
That span crossed a transfer from Arizona State to LSU, where Daniels closed out his career by winning the 2023 Heisman Trophy.
He averaged 11.7 yards per pass attempt in 2023 and threw 40 TD passes vs. just 4 INTs.
The rushing, though, gives Daniels the upside to even outscore the two QBs ahead of him in this dynasty superflex rookie rankings.
Five QBs Might Belong in Round 1
J.J. McCarthy, Michigan
McCarthy doesn’t bring the rushing upside of the previous two QBs, but even he topped 300 yards on the ground each of the past two years (according to PFF).
McCarthy actually posted muted numbers across the board, thanks to an offense that ranked just 121st in the country in pass rate this season.
But that could make him a sleeper in the dynasty superflex rookie rankings if your league mates are chasing past production over future upside.
Michael Penix Jr., Washington
Penix sports the least rushing potential of any QB mentioned so far, and it’s tough to blame him.
He sports mobility in the pocket but also had to overcome a pair of ACL tears and two shoulder injuries.
That helped motivate a transfer from Indiana (after four years) to Washington, where Penix exploded for 67 TD passes and 9,544 yards over the past two years.
If that production earns him Round 1 capital in the NFL Draft, Penix will be worth an early look in rookie drafts. Just keep in mind those numbers came in his fifth and sixth college seasons – and that he’ll be 24 when his rookie year starts.
One More Round 1 Contender
Bo Nix, Oregon
Like Penix, this guy needed a transfer to unlock his upside.
Nix spent three years as an unspectacular producer at Auburn but then racked up 74 TD passes vs. just 10 INTs across two years at Oregon. And he can run.
There could be some sorting to do among Nix, Penix, and McCarthy as we move through the pre-draft process – and perhaps even after we see where each player goes in the NFL Draft.
Dual-Threat Upside Available Late?
Michael Pratt, Tulane
If you don’t land (or need) a QB early, consider taking a later shot on Pratt, who topped 300 rushing yards in each of his four seasons at Tulane, according to PFF.
Pratt also threw 20+ TD passes with 8 or fewer INTs each year.
Spencer Rattler, South Carolina
Rattler looked like he might be a future early-Round 1 pick after a stellar redshirt freshman season at Oklahoma. But things declined from there – to the point that he spent the past two years at South Carolina.
Rattler brings just-OK mobility, and his NFL Draft position should tell us plenty about how the league views his outlook.
Jordan Travis, Florida State
Travis is another six-year college player, though he spent just the past two as full-time starter.
He passed efficiently across two-plus years as the Seminoles’ primary starter while looking like an upside rusher.
Unfortunately for Travis, he’ll have to prove he’s recovered from the gruesome ankle injury that prematurely ended his college career.
There’s some room for Travis to climb the dynasty superflex rookie rankings like Hendon Hooker did last NFL Draft season.
