Fantasy Football Rankings: 5 Rookies destined to be superstars in 2018

These 2018 fantasy football rankings of the rookies destined for greatness will help you ensure you’ve got the inside scoop on the NFL’s best incoming talent.

Putting the fate of your fantasy football team in the hands of rookies is always a risky decision. It’s so hard to determine how their success in college is going to carry over to the NFL, and whether or not they’ll need time to adjust to speed, size and brutality of professional football.

And yet every year, some folks roll the dice. Sometimes, it pays dividends quickly, like in the case of Kareem Hunt in 2017. In some instances, though, it turns around and bites the gambler squarely in the derriere. It’s part of what makes fantasy football sexciting and devastating at the same time.

Well, instead of letting you manage the guesswork, I’m here to attempt to make your life easier. Today, I’m going to spotlight a few rookies who absolutely belong on your fantasy football radar. They may not be superstars as early as Week 1, but you better believe they’ll earn “fantasy stud” status before long.

How long you’re willing to wait is up to you. A couple names on this list should be kept on the waiver wire for the time being. Others, however, warrant serious consideration on draft day.

Either way, you can do what you please with the information I’m about to provide. So without further ado, let’s dive right into the five NFL rookies I believe are going to emerge as fantasy football superstars in 2018.
