Fantasy College Wrestling - 2024 Season Top-33 Fantasy Wrestlers

The data has been processed, the charts have been reviewed, and the evaluations are complete. The 2024 breakdown of the Top Fantasy Wrestlers of the 2024 season is here to help you start your 2025 season research.  

Just like in the past few years, some names are going to be expected, while a lot more may not be. That's the beauty of Fantasy Wrestling, where any wrestler can be the star of the weekend and win the dual for you.

To compile these lists, we used standard WrestleStat Fantasy College Wrestling Data & Scoring. Just a reminder of how points were tallied in WrestleStat leagues:

1) The scoring used was standard team scoring across all competitions (+3 for a win by decision, -4 for a loss by major, etc)

2) Scoring only counted against D1 competition

3) Wins via forfeits (FFT) would count as +6 towards a wrestler's point total

4) Wins or losses by medical forfeit (MFF) did not count as + or - towards a wrestler's point total

5) Points were only accumulated during the regular season
 

OVERALL Top-33

Notes:

The #1 overall wrestler in 2024 was Taye Ghadiali, who put in the best fantasy wrestling season since 2020 with a total of 136 Fpts. The previous record, 132 Fpts, was held by now Hall-of-Famer 157 lber Jonathan Ross (LHU). Difference is, it took Jonathan Ross 48 regular season matches to get to that number which Ghadiali wrestled “only” 33.

The 2024 season also saw the most wrestlers reach the 100 Fpt mark since the 2020 season as well. In 2020, ten wrestlers had at least 100 Fpts compared to 2024 where only five accomplished that feat (and takedowns were only worth TWO points back then…). In 2023 only three wrestlers had at least 100 Fpts and in 2022 only two. 2021, the COVID season, is hard to analyze due to the shortened season and basically conference only schedules. But nevertheless, for comparison's sake, five wrestlers had 50 or more Fpts in that year.
