The 2019 NFL Draft is over and it is time to start looking forward to the next draft on most football fans calendars, their fantasy football drafts. Rosters and depth charts will take more of a shape come August, but for now, it is fun to project who could be rookies from the draft that should be targeted in fantasy football.
Kyler Murray, QB, Arizona Cardinals
Murray was the first overall pick and will start from the first day. Kliff Kingsbury is bringing his offense to the NFL and Murray is seemingly the perfect fit. If he can master the offense, make smart plays and extend others with his feet. He could have a big fantasy impact if Kingsbury’s offense translates to the NFL and David Johnson can take the pressure off of him by running well.
There are some downsides to Murray though. The Cardinals didn’t have a great offensive line last season and Murray could be on the run a lot. This could result in turnovers or injuries if he isn’t careful. He’ll definitely be starting, so he’s worth taking a look at, but it might be best to make him a late round pick or a pickup after the season starts.

Dwayne Haskins, QB, Washington Redskins
Haskins may have fallen to pick number 15, but he now will get a chance to start on a team that could be competitive. The Redskins have a good run game and a solid defense. All Haskins has to do is make smart plays and the team can improve vastly.
Although he is the most pro-ready quarterback in the class, Haskins won’t have a lot of good receivers to utilize and even the running backs don’t offer any more help in the passing game, other than Chris Thompson. It is best to take the wait-and-see approach with Haskins as well for the time being.
