Dynasty Fantasy Football Rookie Profile: Luke McCaffrey, WR Rice
The 2024 wide receiver class is being promoted as one of the best wide receiver classes of all time. Considering there are a few generational talents at the top end and plenty of depth throughout the position group. The back end of the rankings could provide some value in the discount bin in dynasty.
Luke McCaffrey is one of those wide receivers who are expected to get drafted on day three of the NFL Draft. He is an afterthought when it comes to dynasty value. We’ve seen wide receivers come out of nowhere before. He’s another late-round prospect that dynasty gamers need to monitor just in case he starts exceeding expectations.
