Highest-impact fantasy rookies

NFL, Fantasy NFL

Every week during the NFL season, Matthew Berry will be engaging in a discussion with an NFL expert on topics that will provide valuable insights for fantasy owners. For this preseason edition, he and ESPN draft guru Mel Kiper run through the top rookies entering 2014.

Question: Which rookies will have the biggest fantasy impact in 2014?

Matthew Berry: It's great to have your perspective on this question, Mel, as you're an encyclopedia of knowledge on these rookies' talent and skill sets. But as fantasy football owners know, finding rookies who can help your team is about more than just talent and potential. It also matters how each player's skills translate to their new team's scheme. A lot of time we'll see rookies drafted to teams who simply don't use them well.

I'll get into my rankings in a bit, but I'm interested to get your thoughts on this: Which rookie landed in the best spot to succeed this year?
