The appeal of playing dynasty fantasy football is that you never stop building your rosters. There is always time to make moves to help build a contender or rebuild your struggling roster. Now that the 2023 class has come and gone, it's time to start looking ahead to the 2024 class. This season, we will provide fantasy managers with a top-36 big board that will be updated weekly to reflect the top 36 draft-eligible players in college football. The hope is that this big board will give you actual names and value to any draft picks you are trying to trade or acquire. I will also add dynasty content to this article, including players to pivot to or away from, dynasty stashes, dynasty trades, and much more.
Standout Performances
QB Quinn Ewers (RS SO - Texas) 6-foot-2, 195 lbs
Ewers can lead the Longhorns to their first National Championship since Vince Young. If he does that, it's hard to imagine him returning to the sideline in Austin for his senior season. The biggest improvement in his game this season has been his deep ball. According to PFF, Ewers deep ball passing has an 84.4 passing grade, Of his 13 completions, 11 have been categorized as big-time throws, meaning he's dialing it in when it counts. The evolution of his deep ball accuracy has elevated this Longhorn offense to new heights and made Ewers a legitimate NFL prospect.
WR Adonai Mitchell (Jr - Texas) 6-foot-4, 196 lbs
Mitchell has had a solid season in Austin. The 6'4, 195-pound receiver has made his impact felt this year, catching 51 balls for 813 yards and 10 touchdowns. He had one of his best performances of the season in the Big 12 Title game last weekend, with six catches for 109 yards and a touchdown. Draft analysts love him as a prospect, citing his athleticism and ability to move at his size. He is still developing as a receiver; this is the first full season he's remained healthy. He's a player to watch as the pre-draft process plays out.
2024 Draft Pick Values
With the NFL season starting, dynasty leagues are increasingly active, which means more trades are undoubtedly occurring. The whole point of this big board each week is to help you identify where the talent in the current class is and start identifying target areas and tiers to trade for. It's also important to understand market values and what 2024 picks cost in the dynasty market. Below, you will find players currently being moved for 2024 1sts and 2024 2nds.

Dynasty Stashes
RB Jordan Mason - San Francisco 49ers
Mason is a fun stash in Dynasty and could be worth getting on your roster before the offseason. While he has been active this season, he hasn't seen much playing time sitting behind Christian McCaffrey, but we have seen flashes from him over the course of the last two seasons that warrant a roster spot in deep leagues. With how the NFL has transitioned to using multiple backs in the backfield, Mason could find himself on a roster next season where he sees increased usage. He may not be back with San Francisco, but he has done enough to lock down a roster spot elsewhere.
RB Deneric Prince - Kansas City Chiefs
Prior to the 2023 season, many thought Prince could be a sleeper heading into the year after he signed with the Chiefs after going unpicked in the 2023 NFL Draft. Unfortunately, he hasn't logged a single regular-season snap and was placed on the practice squad after being active for the last time this last week. However, he could be a fun stash in Dynasty when you break down the Chiefs' running back room. Jerick McKinnon has struggled to stay healthy and could be on the move this offseason. Clyde Edwards-Helaire's tenure as a Chief has been uninspiring, and he is also most likely on the move. It's hard to imagine the Chiefs don't add anyone in the draft or free agency, but if Prince is brought back, he could have a significant role in the backfield. He's one of those assets you add now who could see a significant value rise over the offseason.
WR Dontayvion Wicks - Green Bay Packers
While dynasty managers move to add Christian Watson, Jayden Reed, Luke Musgrave, and Tucker Kraft, the sneakier add could be Wicks. According to PFF, he leads the team with a 73.0 receiving grade, he's first in yards per route run (1.98), and he is second in passer rating when he is targeted by Jordan Love. He's proven a versatile asset lining up wide and in the slot and has earned 36 targets this season. He has 23 receptions for 374 yards and a touchdown. What makes him important to this offense is that he's filling a need as an outside weapon that can consistently get open and will catch any ball thrown his way. He has great chemistry with Jordan Love and was selected by this coaching staff. These are all positive trends when looking for a player to stash in dynasty.
TE Stone Smartt - Los Angeles Chargers
This is a deep stash for all dynasty managers in leagues with big rosters. The former quarterback turned wide receiver has shown flashes of potential throughout his two-year tenure with the Chargers. In limited snaps this year, he does have three receptions for 80 yards and a touchdown. He's still learning the position, but is an athletic tight end with natural football ability, and coaches rave about his knowledge of the game. There are worse stashes to get on your roster, and if your rosters open up this offseason, Smartt would be a great addition to your team.
Dynasty Consultations
With the season winding down and the playoffs, upcoming dynasty managers have a ton of decisions to make before their impending trade deadline. I want to help with those decisions. The link below will allow you to schedule a one-on-one roster review for 20-30 minutes, where we can discuss anything and everything about your dynasty rosters. The dates and times are listed on the website, along with some questions I would like you to answer before our meeting. The one-on-one consultations will allow you to ask me questions regarding your team(s) or the upcoming 2024 class. Space is limited, and it will be first come, first serve. I plan on doing these dynasty consultations throughout the offseason, so if you miss this first round, there will be other opportunities. We had a ton of fun and constructive consultations last weekend.
I look forward to meeting with you.
