The NFL Draft can be a tough time for oddsmakers to create lines favorable to sportsbooks because they’re working off the same information as the rest of us. There are no formulas or spreadsheets they can rely on to gain an edge over the public the way they can for actual games.

That means when draft day comes around, some odds will prove to be right because the information was reliable, and some odds will be flat out wrong — either because teams successfully threw everyone off their scent or something else happened to stop a player from going where...

This is BetFTW’s 2024 NFL Draft fantasy football tracker, a running list of each pick with potential fantasy impact and analysis for what managers can expect. This will be updated throughout the first round.

From C.J. Stroud to De’Von Achane to Puka Nacua, NFL rookies showed out in 2023, proving just how immediately valuable they can be for fantasy football managers. And the best part is many of them are available late in fantasy drafts.

Stroud was drafted as the consensus QB21 last year, according to FantasyPros. Achane was the RB34, Nacua was WR51. Each finished the season top 10...

Last season, the Kansas City Chiefs dealt with a patchwork group of wide receivers and still won their second-straight Super Bowl. Now, they’ve added a big weapon for Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid to use, and a three-peat seems closer than ever.

The Kansas City Chiefs traded up from the 32nd pick to the 28th pick with the Buffalo Bills to select Texas WR Xavier Worthy.

That name should ring a bell. Xavier Worthy just set the NFL combine record with a 4.21 40-yard dash time.

I know exactly what your reaction is. How could the NFL allow Patrick Mahomes...

Adam Peters talks to the media after Day 1 of the 2024 NFL draft

Adam Peters just made his first pick as an NFL GM. He was hired by the Washington Commanders, and he has started that off by selecting LSU QB Jayden Daniels with the #2 overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft. He has been working to completely turn over the Commanders roster, signing 22 free agents and letting a lot of Ron Rivera’s FAs hit the streets. Peters was excited to get Jayden Daniels, and start building the team around him. There were reports that Washington was...

With 7 receivers gone on Day 1 of the NFL draft, Andrew Berry goes defense in Round 2

On a night that promised fireworks due to three top-level quarterback prospects and three others expected to go in the first or second round, the 2024 NFL draft didn’t disappoint. For the Cleveland Browns, seeing six quarterbacks go in the first 12 picks worked out well but with seven receivers off the board and another eight offensive tackles taken, Day 2 could get interesting.

Offense ruled the day in the first round of the draft with just nine defensive players taken. Browns...

Originally appeared at Steelers Now: Video: Omar Khan and Mike Tomlin Break Down Troy Fautanu Selection

PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Steelres landed a great value pick in Troy Fautanu on the first night of the NFL Draft to help solidify their offensive line. The team considers him a tackle and will likely play over Dan Moore Jr. That means that Pittsburgh should have the type of group that can impose their will and run Arthur Smith’s scheme at a high level.

An athletic freak, Fautanu played most of his career at Washington at left tackle, except for a few games...

To understand Green Bay’s choice in the first round, just watch him versus the top pass-rusher in the 2024 class.

When the Green Bay Packers were on the clock with the 25th pick of the draft on Thursday night, many expected the selection to be either Iowa cornerback Cooper DeJean or Duke offensive lineman Graham Barton. Instead, the Packers chose to go with Arizona’s Jordan Morgan — who has been rumored to be a first-round pick for the last two seasons — one pick ahead of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers selecting Barton.

Right as Morgan was building steam as a...

The Pittsburgh Steelers entered the 2024 NFL Draft with a need at right tackle. Several of the top tackles were already off the board by the Steelers’ first-round pick, but they stuck with No. 20 and selected Washington OT Troy Fautanu. This complicates things with the tackle room in Pittsburgh as the Steelers have stated […]

The San Francisco 49ers added another log to the smoke signal fire last night by drafting WR Ricky Pearsall with the 31st-overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. WR Brandon Aiyuk has been the subject of rampant trade rumors and speculation, and this certainly doesn’t cool it down. Teams have also reportedly phoned the 49ers […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers added to their offensive line with the selection of OT Troy Fautanu with the 20th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, and he’s already heard from Isaac Seumalo, who he also met on his pre-draft visit with the team. Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette said that Fautanu told reporters on […]
