Fantasy Football 2018: One underrated rookie at each position

We are well aware of the top-flight rookies from this year’s draft class, but how about the other players that could lead your fantasy football team in 2018?

Fantasy football season continues to inch closer and closer to the grasp of the millions of people who play the game every year. It’s no secret fantasy football is dominated by big name players such as Antonio Brown and Todd Gurley, proven veterans that may very well leave their mark on the game for a long time.

However, every new draft class provides us with a new troth of rookie talent, with any given player capable of exploding on the scene, and the class of 2018 is no different.

The obvious choices out of the most recent crop of rookies include New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley and Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore, but what about the guys who aren’t sitting first class on the hype train? With what was widely considered a top-heavy draft in terms of talent, digging a touch deeper in the later rounds of your drafts (especially you dynasty players) could prove to be beneficial this season.

So who should you target in the later rounds of your draft? With the wealth invested by teams at the quarterback position, are there any that could make some noise right away? What tight ends are set-up best for success? For the sake of your team, you need players that can contribute from week one and carry that the rest of the way.

Here is one rookie for each position to keep your eye on in 2018.
