2020 NFL Draft Tracker: Fantasy football impact of every skill position player selected

Fantasy experts Jacob Gibbs and Scott Engel provide up-to-the-minute Fantasy outlooks for players like Tua Tagovailoa, Justin Herbert, and CeeDee Lamb as they join their new teams in the 2020 NFL Draft.

Jacob Gibbs

The highly anticipated 2020 NFL draft class is overflowing with talent, and several of those talented rookies found out which team they'll begin their NFL careers with on Thursday. We already knew that the Cincinnati Bengals were locking in their QB of the future in Joe Burrow, and several other picks like Tua Tagovailoa and Justin Herbert going in the top six were expected. The first round was not without its surprises, though, as CeeDee Lamb fell all the way tp the Dallas Cowboys at pick 17, and the Kansas City Chiefs used their first-round selection on a running back. The Super Bowl champs didn't pick up D'Andre Swift, who many mock drafters linked to the Chiefs, instead making Clyde Edwards-Helaire the first RB selected in 2020.

Just how much will the addition of these supremely talented rookies shake up the Fantasy landscape?

Fantasy Hall of Famer Scott Engel and DFS expert Jacob Gibbs were busy on draft night this Thursday, providing up-to-the-minute analysis on the Fantasy outlook of each of the rookie QB, RB, WR, and TE selected. They'll provide SportsLine members with the same live analysis on Friday for Day 2 of the NFL Draft, so be sure to check the homepage and follow along!
