After finishing last in total offense in 2022, the Los Angeles Rams got back on track a season ago thanks to breakout performances from two young players. Puka Nacua was a fifth-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft and Kyren Williams was a fifth-round pick in 2022 who touched the ball just 44 times as a rookie. However, both players were among the best at their positions, finishing top-10 in the Fantasy football RB rankings and Fantasy football WR rankings, while the Rams finished No. 7 in total offense and enjoyed a 10-win season.
Finding players like that at any position can be a boon to your Fantasy football 2024 success. Having a reliable set of live-updated 2024 Fantasy football rankings can give you an edge in finding those types of talents. They can also help you prepare for any big runs on a position ahead of your upcoming 2024 Fantasy football picks. If you’re looking for 2024 Fantasy football advice, be sure to check out the 2024 Fantasy football cheat sheets from the proven computer model at SportsLine.
Last year, the model accurately predicted that Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle would fail to live up to his Fantasy football ADP. Waddle’s 2023 Fantasy football ADP was 34.86 overall and he was the 11th receiver off the board on average. He’d go on to notch a 1,000-yard season but only had 72 receptions with four touchdowns and he’d finish as the No. 34 Fantasy football wide receiver in CBS Sports PPR leagues.
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 projections update multiple times daily, so you’re always getting the best Fantasy football advice and the latest Fantasy football tiers.
Now, SportsLine has simulated the entire NFL season 10,000 times and released its latest Fantasy football cheat sheets 2024 and draft advice, along with its top Fantasy QB, WR, RB and TE picks. Head to SportsLine now to see them.
Top 2024 Fantasy football QB rankings
Here’s a look at SportsLine’s top three 2024 Fantasy football QB picks:
1. Jalen Hurts, Philadelphia Eagles: Hurts was QB3 in Fantasy football last season, receiving a huge boost with his rushing ability at the goal line. He was tied for second in the NFL in rushing touchdowns (15) last season as the Tush Push at the goal line and on short yardage situations remains one of the most unstoppable plays in football for Philadelphia. The Eagles retained their top three pass-catchers (A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith and Dallas Goedert), so that offensive continuity helps boost Hurts into the top spot in the model’s 2024 Fantasy football rankings.
2. Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills: Allen has one of the strongest arms in the NFL and paired that with his ability to run to extend drives and score touchdowns has made him an elite quarterback in Fantasy football over the last few seasons. Allen had a career-high 15 rushing touchdowns last year to reclaim his position as the top-scoring QB for Fantasy football. Allen has finished as QB1 in three of the last four seasons and was QB2 in the other year. He should finish at or near the top again this season.
3. Patrick Mahomes, Kansas City Chiefs: Mahomes is coming off Kansas City’s second straight Super Bowl championship and he’s one season removed from his second MVP Award. He was QB8 in Fantasy football last season, which snapped a streak of three straight top-five finishes for Fantasy football quarterbacks. Talent-wise, few will argue Mahomes is the best quarterback in football and you can’t go wrong with him as your 2024 Fantasy football quarterback. See more top QBs here.
Top 2024 Fantasy football RB rankings
Here’s a look at SportsLine’s top three 2024 Fantasy football RB picks:
1. Christian McCaffrey, San Francisco 49ers: The biggest hit to McCaffrey’s fantasy stock over his professional career has been his health. He has only missed one start in two seasons in San Francisco, and the result was being the 2023 rushing leader with 1,459 yards on the ground. Expect McCaffrey to have another big season for the 49ers, and for him to be off the board early in Fantasy football drafts.
2. Bijan Robinson, Atlanta Falcons: Robinson’s numbers were strong last season, but he finished RB17 in fantasy points per game since Arthur Smith favored giving the ball to Tyler Allgeier. He’s expected to have a bigger workload in 2024 since the Falcons have a new coaching staff and should have a much bigger fantasy impact.
3. Breece Hall, New York Jets: Hall’s rookie campaign was derailed by a season-ending ACL injury, but he bounced back in a big way in 2023. New York’s QB carousel ensured that the run game got plenty of work, and Hall ended the season averaging 4.5 yards per game with five touchdowns. He also had 76 receptions, which was up from just 19 the season before. See more top RBs here.
Top 2024 Fantasy football WR rankings
Here’s a look at SportsLine’s top three 2024 Fantasy football WR picks:
1. CeeDee Lamb, Dallas Cowboys: Lamb finished with 135 catches for 1,749 yards and scored 14 total touchdowns last season (all career-highs) and the underlying metrics were all strong as well. His 181 targets led the NFL and he was also first in red zone targets (31), YAC (680), route wins (323) and Fantasy points per game (23.7).
2. Tyreek Hill, Miami Dolphins: While Lamb led the NFL in reception, Hill led the league in receiving yards (1,799) and receiving touchdowns (13). He’s the NFL’s ultimate home-run hitter and Mike McDaniel has used him to attack opposing defenses relentlessly. Hill’s 36.9% target share was the highest in the NFL and his 44.0% air yards share ranked second among NFL receivers.
3. Amon-Ra St. Brown, Detroit Lions: St. Brown is an unmistakable star now but the former fourth-round pick still plays with an enormous chip on his shoulder and it shows. He caught 119 passes for 1,515 yards and 10 touchdowns (all career-highs) last season despite playing through multiple injuries and he’s playing in one of the most exciting offenses in the NFL. See more top WRs here.
Top 2024 Fantasy football TE rankings
Here’s a look at SportsLine’s top three 2024 Fantasy football TE picks:
1. Travis Kelce, Kansas City Chiefs: The struggles of Kansas City wide receivers affected not just Mahomes last year but Kelce as well. Having no threats out wide allowed defenses to focus more attention on the future Hall of Fame tight end. With the additions of WRs Marquise Brown and Xavier Worthy, that shouldn’t be the case in 2024 as Kelce could reclaim his throne as the top Fantasy tight end.
2. Mark Andrews, Baltimore Ravens: Before breaking his leg in Week 11 last year, Andrews was on pace for his most touchdowns and second-most receptions and receiving yards in a season. So, the overhaul of WRs that the Ravens made didn’t diminish their stud tight end’s production. Andrews is as consistent as they come as from 2019-22, he ranked among the top five in positional Fantasy points every season.
3. Sam LaPorta, Detroit Lions: LaPorta had a historic first season as he set the NFL rookie record for catches by a tight end (86) and tied the record for touchdowns by a first-year tight end (10) in the Super Bowl era. He also blasted through the proverbial rookie wall, leading the position in Fantasy points over the last half of the 2023 season. Having a year of pro experience will only help him in 2024, and he’s a focal point of one of the league’s most explosive offenses. See more top TEs here.
