Fantasy Football Rookie Rankings 2017: Top Dynasty Players

8. O.J. Howard, TE, Alabama

---

Rookie fantasy rankings don't typically include a lot of tight ends, as players of that position hardly ever put up noteworthy numbers in their first year. But if we're talking long-term, and maybe even in short-term in his case, we have to include Howard. The system at Alabama limited his production, but his size (6-foot-6, 251 pounds) and athleticism (4.51 40) is reminiscent of the modern-day tight ends who can dominate down the seam and in the red zone. Throw in his terrific blocking skills, which should help him stay on the field, and it wouldn't be surprising if Howard quickly became a Top-10 fantasy tight end.

Note that his doesn't necessarily mean I think he'll put up numbers better than some receivers lower on this list, but in terms of value vs position scarcity, he ranks higher. (Getty)
