The second round of the 2024 NFL Draft has concluded. This article will detail the selected players relevant to your dynasty leagues. Specifically, we will look at the team that drafted the player and the surrounding environment. This article will address superflex leagues and points per reception (PPR) scoring.
Second-Round Dynasty Selections
2.33 - Keon Coleman, Buffalo Bills, WR
Buffalo appeared to be desperate to find a wide receiver for franchise quarterback Josh Allen. Coleman did not flash in the box score stats outside of touchdowns. He concluded with only averaging 728 yards over his final two collegiate seasons.
Coleman has a 6-foot-3 frame and has the skills to be a deep threat for Allen with his contested catch ability. He needs improve his route tree, yet he immediately steps into a desirable situation, looking to be the WR1 for Buffalo. He will compete for targets alongside Khalil Shakir and Curtis Samuel at the wide receiver position. I would not be surprised to see Coleman's ADP move up to a fringe round-one rookie draft selection.
Coleman is our consensus WR48 and will see his stock rise from this selection and team situation.
2.34 - Ladd McConkey, Los Angeles Chargers, WR
There was speculation the Chargers would take a round one wide receiver. They waited for their guy in the second round. McConkey is a fluid, quick-footed wide receiver with 4.39 speed. He is smaller and may struggle against the physicality of the NFL. His route running will work in his favor.
McConkey will look to claim the WR1 role and be a reliable target for the Chargers for franchise quarterback Justin Herbert. He will compete to earn targets with Quentin Johnston and Joshua Palmer at the wide receiver position. McConkey's ADP may breach the first round of dynasty rookie drafts. He is our consensus WR42, and I see no reason why he should not be ranked ahead of Diontae Johnson (WR38) or Christian Kirk (WR33).
2.37 - Ja'Lynn Polk, New England Patriots, WR
New England will pair first-round quarterback Drake Maye with a second-round wide receiver. Polk was overshadowed in college alongside Rome Odunze. Polk managed to put up 1,159 yards with nine touchdowns in his final collegiate season. He is able to play inside and outside and is a reliable pass catcher for New England. There is criticism he benefited from playing with Odunze, he now has his opportunity to be the guy.
He is our consensus WR70 and will easily rise up our ranks with this second-round draft capital and team situation. Similarly, he will rise up rookie draft boards.
