Dynasty Watch: Draft-Eligible Top 24

This series will keep track of the RotoWire top-24 for draft-eligible dynasty prospects. As the college football season draws to a close, it is the last few opportunities for draft-eligible players to make a statement to NFL scouts. Many prospects have seen their stock solidified over the season, but a good or bad performance could move them up or down in the rankings, including throughout bowl season.

The players are ranked in descending order of their projected NFL fantasy value. Note that some players are not seniors and are therefore not guaranteed to declare for the 2019 draft.

1. N'Keal Harry, WR, Arizona State, Jr. (6-foot-4, 213 pounds)

The top ranked fantasy prospect on our board caught seven of 15 targets for 105 yards in a win Saturday against Oregon, his third straight game with 100 or more yards. Harry has an outrageous 31.6 percent target share in the Arizona State offense and has caught 65 percent of his targets this season at 9.8 YPT. ESPN's Mel Kiper recently ranked Harry his 26th best overall prospect in the upcoming draft, but we'd bet Harry is more likely to go in the top 10 than in the 20s.

Projected round: 1 (Top 15)

2. Bryan Edwards, WR, South Carolina, Jr. (6-foot-3, 220 pounds)

His fantasy owners might have hoped for more when Edwards caught four of five targets for 69 yards against FCS Chattanooga last week, but he has had a solid season for the Gamecocks. The junior has a 65 percent catch rate to go along with 659 yards and six touchdowns on just 65 targets. A game against playoff-hopeful Clemson awaits Edwards this week, where he could make a draft statement with a big game.

Projected round: 1-2

3. Mecole Hardman, WR, Georgia, Jr. (5-foot-11, 183 pounds)

Hardman had a quiet three catches on three targets for 68 yards and a touchdown against UMass this week, but the subtly explosive performance was a nice showing for Hardman, who had struggled through an ankle issue before bouncing back Saturday. A convert from defensive back shortly before the start of last year, Hardman is still developing and has burning speed to work with.

Projected round: 1-2

4. A.J. Brown, WR, Mississippi, Jr. (6-foot-1, 230 pounds)

The junior torched the Vanderbilt secondary this week to the tune of 212 yards and a touchdown while catching nine of 16 targets. It was the fourth straight game of 100 receiving yards or more for the potential first-round pick. Brown technically is a risk to play baseball since the Padres selected him in the 2016 draft, but for now he seems more likely to go the way of Russell Wilson than Anthony Alford or Jeff Samardzija.

Projected round: 1-2

5. Damien Harris, RB, Alabama, Sr. (5-foot-11, 215 pounds)

A concussion forced Harris to leave Saturday's game against The Citadel, but it appears that he should be healthy once he gets past the concussion. As a senior runner with an extensive history of top-notch production at Alabama (6.6 career YPC), Harris is a strong bet to be the first running back selected in the draft, and a starting 2019 role in the NFL can't be ruled out.

Projected round: 2-3

6. Tyler Johnson, WR, Minnesota, Jr. (6-foot-2, 200 pounds)

Johnson was able to put up stellar numbers in the cold against Northwestern on Saturday, racking up 88 yards and a touchdown and catching eight of 12 targets. A former quarterback converted to wide receiver, Johnson has a crazy 37 percent target share in the Minnesota offense and has put up 10 touchdowns in 11 games this season.

Projected round: 1-3

7. Marquise Brown, WR, Oklahoma, Jr. (5-foot-10, 168 pounds)

Recently ranked the top wide receiver in this year's draft by Mel Kiper, Brown had a quiet day Saturday by his standards, accumulating 66 yards on six of nine targets. Don't expect a quiet day in Week 13, however, as the Sooners take on West Virginia in a game that promises to be a shootout. With probable 4.3 speed, Brown could rise in the rankings so long as scouts aren't worried about his light build.

Projected round: 1-3

8. DK Metcalf, WR, Mississippi, Jr. (6-foot-4, 230 pounds)

The son of former NFL player Terrence Metcalf, DK racked up 26 catches for 569 yards and five touchdowns in 2018 on just 42 targets, before he was ruled out for the season with a neck injury Oct. 15. His elite athleticism makes him a candidate to go early in the 2019 draft regardless, if he decides to declare.

Projected round: 1-3

9. Kelvin Harmon, WR, North Carolina State, Jr. (6-foot-3, 214 pounds)

Harmon walked with the seniors before N.C. State's Nov. 8 home game against Wake Forest, so he seems likely to declare for the draft. By catching seven passes for 100 yards and a touchdown against Louisville on Saturday, Harmon logged his second straight 1,000-yard year. Depending on how he tests at the combine, he could make a push for the first round even.

Projected round: 2-3

10. Elijah Holyfield, RB, Georgia, Jr. (5-foot-11, 215 pounds)

The son of former boxer Evander Holyfield, Elijah looks like a threat to do very well in pre-draft testing, and his production in 2018 is otherwise strong with 817 yards and six touchdowns at 6.6 YPC. Holyfield rushed just six times for 50 yards and a touchdown in a blowout win against UMass on Saturday, a familiar outcome given Georgia's deep backfield. One negative for the junior could be his lack of production in the passing game thus far this season, as he has only accumulated four catches on seven targets.

Projected round: 2-4

11. J.J. Arcega-Whiteside, WR, Stanford, Sr. (6-foot-4, 225 pounds)

Arcega-Whiteside has been dealing with a knee injury that has forced him to missed the past two games. Through nine games this season, however, the senior has been able to catch 69 percent of his targets in a run-first Cardinal offense. He's a bully wideout who could help NFL teams in the red zone.

Projected round: 2-4

12. Andy Isabella, WR, Massachusetts, Sr. (5-foot-10, 190 pounds)

The 5-foot-9 Isabella has made quite the name for himself this season as he leads the FBS in receiving yards (1,698) through 12 games this season. Against the 19th ranked Georgia pass defense this past week, the senior was able to catch 15 of 17 targets for 219 yards and two touchdowns. Isabella has a 37 percent target share to go along with a 68 percent catch rate in 2018.

Projected round: 2-4

13. Darrell Henderson, RB, Memphis, Jr. (5-foot-9, 200 pounds)

In the past two weeks against Tulane and SMU, Henderson has put up 241 yards and two touchdowns on just 39 carries. The junior has put together a great season so far, accumulating an 8.7 yard per carry average and has caught 15 of 19 targets in the passing game for 283 yards and three touchdowns.

Projected round: 2-4

14. Zack Moss, RB, Utah, Jr. (5-foot-10, 215 pounds)

Moss suffered a knee injury that could force him to miss the rest of the season in Utah's Week 10 game against Arizona State. Before the injury, however, Moss was able to put together stellar numbers with 12 total touchdowns and 1,092 yards rushing in just nine games. Moss' elusiveness really stands out on tape.

Projected round: 3-4

15. Devin Singletary, RB, Florida Atlantic, Jr. (5-foot-9, 200 pounds)

Although he gets overlooked because of his low level of competition, Singletary has been on a tear for all of his three-year career. In his past three games, the junior has rushed for 423 yards and seven touchdowns. Though it might not be against the best completion, has been able to accumulate 67 total touchdowns in 37 career games. How he tests at the combine will help determine how much the NFL penalizes Singletary for his Conference-USA opponents.

Projected round: 2-6

16. Jaylen Smith, WR, Louisville, Sr. (6-foot-4, 220 pounds)

The senior had a disappointing Saturday against NC State, as he hauled in just three of four targets for 56 yards. By Smith's standards, it has been a disappointing year with just 519 yards and one touchdown, but NFL scouts would be smart to ignore this season entirely. Smith was very productive at Louisville before it collapsed under the negligent watch of Bobby Petrino.

Projected round: 2-5

17. Emanuel Hall, WR, Missouri, Sr. (6-foot-3, 195 pounds)

Hall missed five games with a groin injury, but he's getting back into the groove lately with seven targets in three straight games, including four catches for 74 yards against Tennessee on Sunday. Hall may be a one-trick pony as a lanky deep threat, but he's among the fastest players in college football and could prove a devastating field-stretching element in an NFL offense.

Projected round: 2-5

18. Benny Snell, RB, Kentucky, Jr. (5-foot-11, 220 pounds)

Against an average Middle Tennessee State defense, Snell was able to rush for 116 yards and two touchdowns on 26 carries Saturday. Snell has never wowed with his explosiveness, but his reliable grinder profile makes him one of the few draft-eligible candidates to function as a workhorse in the NFL.

Projected round: 3-5

19. Trayveon Williams, RB, Texas A&M, Jr. (5-foot-9, 200 pounds)

In the past three games, Williams has accumulated 502 rushing yards and five touchdowns on just 68 carries. Williams had a down year in 2017, but with 1,326 yards (6.1 YPC) and 13 touchdowns in 2018 he's definitely picking up steam.

Projected round: 3-5

20. David Montgomery, RB, Iowa State, Jr. (5-foot-11, 216 pounds)

Montgomery was held somewhat in check last week against Texas as he rushed for 33 yards and a touchdown on just 10 carries. The junior has had a down year compared to last season, as he has accumulated a 4.5 YPC average and seven touchdowns in nine games this season. Playing through injury may be the explanation, however, as Montgomery's combination of balance and burst impress on tape.

Projected round: 3-6

21. Karan Higdon, RB, Michigan, Sr. (5-foot-10, 202 pounds)

Higdon elected to return to Michigan for his senior season following last year's breakout effort, and the speedy workhorse has not disappointed. Higdon has racked up 1,106 rushing yards this season, including 101 this past week against Indiana. One area Higdon could improve his value is in the passing game, where he has caught just 15 of 26 targets in his Michigan career.

Projected round: 4-6

22. Qadree Ollison, RB, Pittsburgh, Sr. (6-foot-2, 225 pounds)

Leading the 14th ranked rushing offense in the country, Ollison busted out for 235 yards and three touchdowns in Week 11 against Virginia Tech. In his fourth and final season for the Panthers, Ollison boasts a 6.6 YPC average and 10 touchdowns in 11 games so far.

Projected round: 4-6

23. Justice Hill, RB, Oklahoma State, Jr.(5-foot-10, 190 pounds)

A rib injury forced the junior to miss a Week 12 win against West Virginia this past week. In 10 games this season, Hill has been a stud, racking up 930 yards and nine touchdowns. Hill is accomplished enough that he might want to declare for the draft despite the missed time, though he'll have questions to answer about his light build.

Projected round: 4-6

24. Hakeem Butler, WR, Iowa State, Jr. (6-foot-6, 225 pounds)

Butler had a decent day against Texas on Saturday, as he caught six of 14 targets for 99 yards. The 6-foot-6 junior has been able to retain a nice 30 percent target share in the Iowa State offense this season, and his ability to make big plays downfield has his stock on the rise. If he declares for the 2019 draft you can move him up at least a few spots in these rankings. He's in a similar boat to Hall from Missouri.

Projected round: 2-5
