Early 2020 Fantasy Football Rookie Rankings: Pre-NFL Draft

Welcome back RotoBallers! Below you will find our staff's early 2020 fantasy football rookie rankings (top 120). These rankings are being released before the 2020 NFL Draft so things will of course change. Adjustments to these rookie rankings will be made all offseason long, so check back regularly for updates. You can also see Brandon Murchison's dynasty rookie rankings and analysis, released a few weeks ago. UPDATE: now that the NFL Draft has concluded, you can see our updated fantasy football rankings.

Four of our lead fantasy football analysts - Pierre Camus, Brandon Murchison and Phil Clark - have analyzed last year's college football season, the NFL Combine and the NFL offseason moves - they are ready to rock. Below you will find their consensus staff rookies ranks for 2020 fantasy football, which will be updated regularly up until the season. Feel free to click those links and give these fine gentlemen a follow, or let them know how much you love or hate their rankings.

Be sure to also check out our 2020 fantasy football rankings dashboard. It's already loaded up with tons of other great rankings. In case you missed it, you can also see our early PPR rankings, Half-PPR rankings, Standard rankingsBest Ball rankings and Dynasty League rankings. Bookmark that page, and prepare for all of your drafts.
