QB1. RB1. WR1. TE1. Those accolades mean something different with every passing draft class. Sometimes your QB1 is Andrew Luck, other years the QB1 is Kenny Pickett. It is important to know the positional strengths and weaknesses of each incoming draft class to analyze where the values of these players should be.
For this exercise, we’ll analyze each offensive position from strongest to weakest, identifying and categorizing each of the top players for dynasty fantasy football. These aren’t rankings so much as a projection of what these prospects can develop into at the NFL level.

2017 was an historic draft class for running backs. Leonard Fournette and Christian McCaffrey were top ten picks. Dalvin Cook, Joe Mixon, Alvin Kamara, Kareem Hunt, James Conner, and Aaron Jones all went on to have top 12 running back seasons. Samaje Perine, D'Onta Foreman, Tarik Cohen, and Jamaal Williams all had solid NFL and fantasy careers. That kind of hit rate for a class of running backs is nearly unprecedented. Compare that to last year, which could be a one running back class in Bucky Irving (though it is still early). This year’s class of running backs could be even better than 2017’s, with a generational talent at the top and plenty of depth beyond that.
