Ranking the 15 best 2021 rookies in fantasy football

Some of the best first-year players you should draft this year.

Back in April, when we saw which rookies in the first round of the 2021 NFL draft got taken, we had snapshots of what names like Kyle Pitts and Ja’Marr Chase might do in fantasy football later in the year.

Now? We’ve got much more full picture thanks to the offseason and training camps (plus, you know, six other rounds of picks in the draft).

So as you do your draft prep, this is the list to consult about which rookies will make an immediate impact or — if you’re in a dynasty or keeper league — could be a star down the road.

I’ll rank them by immediate impact, but I’ll also note where I think there could be some serious keeper upside.
