Our July dynasty rookie rankings may focus on fewer players than our June update; however, we want to provide you the players you need to be targeting in your rookie drafts. Many of the players outside our Top-50 are players that are only drafted in the deepest of fantasy leagues or are priority waiver wire free agents.
There is not much change from last month with only a few players moving up and down our draft board. Our rankings still heavily factor in scouting reports, college production, team situations, projected production, and the latest updates from beat writer reports.
Our fantasy football rookie rankings are based on the following:
- Deep IDP/PPR Leagues
- Start 3 WR and/or Flex Player
- Scarcity of starting QB’s and RB’s
- Defensive Tackles are devalued and start at DL
