With OTAs in the rearview mirror, many owners are starting their 2024 Fantasy football draft prep. Several high-profile players will return from season-ending injuries, including Aaron Rodgers, Nick Chubb, Joe Burrow, and Anthony Richardson. The uncertainty about how they'll perform can affect the 2024 Fantasy football rankings. Richardson averaged 25.9 points per game in his two full starts as a rookie, but he suffered a season-ending shoulder injury in Week 5. Will Richardson be one of the top 2024 Fantasy football sleepers that can lead you to a championship, or should you look for value elsewhere at the quarterback position? Before crafting your 2024 Fantasy football draft strategy, be sure to check out the 2024 Fantasy football rankings and cheat sheets from the proven computer model at SportsLine.
Last year, the model accurately predicted that Jets running back Breece Hall would significantly outperform his sixth-round Fantasy football ADP in 10-team PPR leagues. The result: Hall rushed 223 times for 994 yards and five scores and was also a dynamic receiver out of the backfield, catching 76 passes for 591 yards and four more scores. He'd wind up finishing as the No. 2 running back in CBS Sports PPR leagues behind only Christian McCaffrey.
The same model has a proven track record providing Fantasy football tips, identifying A.J. Brown as a sleeper in 2020 and nailing Jonathan Taylor's monstrous season in 2021. Additionally, it's called past Fantasy football sleepers like Derrick Henry in 2019, Christian McCaffrey and Alvin Kamara in 2018, and Davante Adams in 2017. Anybody who banked on players like those made a run at their league title.
The model is powered by the same people who generated projections for all three major Fantasy sites, and it beat human experts last season when there was a big difference in ranking. The 2024 Fantasy football PPR rankings and 2024 Fantasy football standard rankings update multiple times daily, so you're always getting the best Fantasy football advice.
Now, SportsLine has simulated the entire NFL season 10,000 times and released its latest Fantasy football rankings 2024, along with plenty of sleepers, breakouts and busts. Head to SportsLine now to see them.
Top 2024 Fantasy football sleepers
One of the 2024 Fantasy football sleepers the model is predicting: Chiefs wide receiver Marquise Brown. A first-round pick in the 2019 NFL Draft out of Oklahoma, Brown was a 1,000-yard receiver in Baltimore before two injury-plagued seasons in Arizona. Now, he'll have a chance to play with the gold standard for modern quarterbacking with Patrick Mahomes in Kansas City.
The Chief quickly reworked their wide receivers room by signing Brown and drafting Xavier Worthy. That's a big reason why the model ranks Brown as a top-12 wide receiver ahead of stars like D.J. Moore and Mike Evans.
Another sleeper that SportsLine's Fantasy football rankings 2024 have identified: Bears tight end Cole Kmet. Kmet is coming off a breakout campaign in 2023. He set career-highs in receptions (73) and yards (719) while hauling in six touchdown catches.
Kmet scored at least 11.3 PPR points in eight games and he averaged a career-best 10.7 PPR points per game for the season. He was targeted 90 times in 2023, and he'll likely see a lot of one-on-one coverage in 2024. That's because the Bears added Keenan Allen and Rome Odunze to a receiving corps that already included D.J. Moore, who had over 1,300 receiving yards last season. That's a big reason why the model has identified Kmet as one of the top 2024 Fantasy football sleepers. See which other Fantasy football sleepers 2024 to pick here.
