Arizona Cardinals rookie wideout Marvin Harrison Jr. is the clear top rookie this year and the only first-year player worthy of first-round consideration—in point-per-reception (PPR) leagues anyway.

Harrison comes in as Arizona’s No. 1 receiver, and he’s fleshed elite upside during the offseason.

“You just watch him. You can watch him and tell. When a guy’s got it, he’s got it. And he definitely has it,” quarterback Kyler Murray said, per Theo Mackie of the Arizona Republic.

Malik Nabers should, similarly, be an instant top target for the New York Giants. However, there’s enough uncertainty with New York’s quarterback situation to create a sizeable gap between Harrison and Nabers.

There’s also a gap between Nabers and Rome Odunze, as Odunze is likely to be a second or third target for the Chicago Bears. At the same time, the presence of Odunze, Keenan Allen, D.J. Moore, Cole Kmet and D’Andre Swift makes Caleb Williams worth valuing as a fantasy starter.

We’re valuing Brock Bowers quite highly because of the nature of the tight end position. Travis Kelce, Sam LaPorta, Mark Andrews and Trey McBride make up the top tier of fantasy tight ends, and there’s a pretty broad second tier after them.

Due to his talent and projected role in Luke Getsy’s offense, Bowers has the potential to be a top-five tight end as a rookie. The Las Vegas Raiders have quarterback questions and will feed the ball to Davante Adams, but Bowers is a legitimate playmaker who should be heavily targeted.

Under Getsy in Chicago, Kmet logged 90 targets, 73 receptions, 719 yards and six touchdowns last season.

Keon Coleman is the final rookie who should be valued as a starter right now—though roles may change during the preseason. The projected new No. 1 receiver of the Buffalo Bills, Coleman should quickly become a big-play threat for Josh Allen.

Jonathan Brooks, Brian Thomas Jr. and Xavier Worthy all have solid flex potential but shouldn’t be valued too highly. Jayden Daniels is a strong sleeper quarterback thanks to the presence of Washington Commanders pass-catchers like Terry McLaurin, Jahan Dotson, Zach Ertz and Austin Ekeler.
