The Fantasy Kickoff - Fantasy Football Tips

The Best Fantasy Prospects in 2008 NFL Draft

by Kori Ellis on March 11th, 2008

Which college prospects who will be drafted in the 2008 NFL Draft will be worth the most in fantasy football in 2008? Here’s an early look.

5. Matt Ryan, Quarterback
Rookie quarterbacks aren’t usually highly valued in fantasy football but there is a chance that Ryan plays right away at the NFL level. It depends on which team takes him. If he plays right away, Ryan is smart enough to be a decent fantasy option right away.

4. Jonathan Stewart, Running Back
Currently ranked as the third best running back on the board, Stewart has pretty good size and pretty good speed. He has a chance to be a solid back right away in the NFL. He’ll probably begin as a backup but he could find himself in the starting lineup sooner than later.

3. Malcolm Kelly, Wide Receiver
While 2008 isn’t a great year for wide receivers, Malcolm Kelly has a chance to be fantasy football gold. He has good size and very good hands, which is the combination you look for in a receiver who can grab a lot of touchdown passes. He lacks top end speed but Kelly should be a red zone target right away.

2. Rashard Mendenhall, Running Back
Depending on where he ends up, Mendenhall could be a starting running back in 2008. He has the total package it’d take to be a solid rookie running back in the NFL. He’ll likely be drafted at some point between the 10th and 20th pick.

1. Darren McFadden, Running Back
McFadden isn’t going to drop out of the top seven picks. He’s just too explosive of an athlete for teams to pass on him. McFadden has a chance to be a superstar on the NFL level and it’s highly likely that he’ll start as a rookie.
