Fantasy Football Rookie Rankings 2017: Top Dynasty Players

1. Leonard Fournette, RB, LSU


Fournette was transcendent during his freshman and sophomore years in Baton Rouge, tallying 2,987 rushing yards and 32 touchdowns on 487 carries (6.13 YPC). If he was in last year's class (you know, if it was possible), he would have been right there with Ezekiel Elliott for the top spot heading into the 2016 draft. But after a junior year marred by an ankle injury that has the potential to linger throughout his career, he isn't regarded as such a sure-thing anymore.

Ultimately, though, he still managed to average 6.5 yards per carry and 120.4 yards per game during his "disappointing" season. And more importantly, this is still a 6-foot-0, 240-pound bruiser with 4.51 wheels and the power to violently punish defenders at the secondary levels. His blend of size, power, quickness, athleticism and breakaway speed makes him a rare talent at the position, and considering his ceiling, I can't help but put him No. 1.

It's worth noting he caught just 41 passes in three years at LSU, and the next four guys on this list would likely jump him in PPR rankings. But in standard formats, Fournette gets the top spot. (Getty)
