Puka Nacua - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

RotoBaller's top fantasy football best ball rankings for 2024, pre NFL Draft. These early staff rankings are before the NFL Draft and include QB, RB, WR, and TE.

Click here to see our 2025 fantasy football best ball rankings.

Hey, RotoBallers! While it feels like the NFL season just ended, it's never too early to start preparing for your upcoming fantasy football drafts. Fantasy managers are already preparing for 2024 by drafting in best ball leagues. Today, we will review our NFL team's early 2024 fantasy football best ball rankings for the top 300 fantasy football players before the 2024 NFL Draft. Use these early best ball rankings to draft winning best ball teams.

Two of RotoBaller's lead fantasy football analysts -- Phil Clark and Jackson Sparks -- have put together their consensus staff rankings, which will be updated regularly through the start of the 2024 fantasy football season. Let's see where Kyren Williams, Puka Nacua, Marvin Harrison Jr., Josh Jacobs, George Kittle, George Pickens, and Rome Odunze rank early on.

Make sure also to follow our 24x7 news feed of fantasy football news and injuries. And more importantly, download our free fantasy sports mobile app to receive real-time alerts and push notifications on the latest NFL news. The app has just been updated and has all of our articles, too.

 

Best Ball Rankings for Fantasy Football (Pre-Draft)

For anyone who isn't very familiar with fantasy football best ball leagues, they are essentially draft-only leagues with no moves during the season. Once a best ball draft is completed, nothing else happens -- no setting weekly lineups, no trading, no waiver wire moves.

Every week of the season, the best combo of fantasy players on your team is automatically calculated and used to determine the highest possible scoring outcome. Best ball drafts always start earlier than regular drafts, and they are already in high gear!

Be sure also to check out our 2024 fantasy football rankings dashboard. It's already loaded up with tons of other great rankings. In case you missed it, you can also see our early PPR rankings, Half-PPR rankings, Standard rankingsDynasty League rankings, and 2024 NFL Rookie rankings. Bookmark that page, and prepare for all of your drafts.
