NFL rosters are starting to take shape and owners everywhere are starting to take stock as they begin their 2024 Fantasy football draft prep. Jets running back Breece Hall was No. 2 in the Fantasy football RB rankings behind only Christian McCaffrey in PPR leagues last season. Now, he’s hoping that the return of quarterback Aaron Rodgers will give him even more room to run in 2024. Where should you target Hall in the 2024 Fantasy football rankings and who are some of the other backs available that can make an impact? How should you approach 2024 Fantasy football rookies like Caleb Williams, Marvin Harrison Jr., and Drake Maye?

Last year, the model accurately predicted that Buccaneers wide receiver Rachaad White was being dramatically undervalued. White was coming off the board in the seventh round on average in 12-team PPR leagues, but he emerged as Tampa Bay’s workhorse running back and provided significantly more value than expected, finishing No. 4 at his position. White rushed for 990 yards and six touchdowns while adding 64 catches for 549 yards and three more scores as a receiver. Anybody who followed the model’s advice scored an every week starting running back in the middle rounds.

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.

Top 2024 Fantasy football sleepers

One of the 2024 Fantasy football sleepers the model is predicting: Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts. The No. 4 overall pick out of Florida in the 2021 NFL Draft, Pitts was a 1,000-yard receiver as a rookie, but injuries and an offensive system that didn’t fit his game led to severe production falloff in 2022 and 2023.

However, a new coaching staff and overhauled quarterback room could create renewed optimism for Pitts. Longtime Rams assistant Zac Robinson will call plays now, and tight end utilization was a critical component of Los Angeles’ offensive success. Meanwhile, Kirk Cousins targeted tight ends on 27% of his passes last year, the fifth most of any QB. See more Fantasy football sleepers 2024 here.

Top 2024 Fantasy football breakouts

The model is also projecting Cardinals receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. as one of its 2024 Fantasy football breakouts. The son of Hall of Fame wide receiver Marvin Harrison has all the tools to become an instant star in the NFL, and Arizona is in desperate need of him to fill that role. Harrison was a standout at Ohio State, catching 67 passes for 1,211 yards and 14 touchdowns last season.

He has size, runs routes like a veteran and can make catches in traffic, setting him up for success at the next level. The Cardinals will give him plenty of targets during his rookie season, as he immediately slots in as the top wide receiver on the depth chart. Quarterback Kyler Murray is fully healthy after missing the first part of the 2023 season due to an ACL injury, which makes Harrison an even better breakout pick. See more Fantasy football breakouts 2024 here.

Top 2024 Fantasy football busts

As for players to avoid, the model lists Bears wide receiver Keenan Allen as one of its 2024 Fantasy football busts. After years of struggling offensively, it’s hard for Bears fans to wrap their heads around the embarrassment of riches they have offensively, but that’s the position they find themselves in. No. 1 overall pick Caleb Williams will have Allen, D.J. Moore, rookie Rome Odunze, Cole Kmet and D’Andre Swift at his disposal in what could be a dynamic Chicago offense.

Allen is still at the top of his game, evidenced by his 108 catches for 1,243 yards and seven touchdowns over 13 games last season. However, there will only be so many targets to go around and he could find himself as the odd man out in certain situations. He’s in the last year of his contract, prefers working out of the slot, and Bears offensive coordinator Shane Waldron has a long history of utilizing two tight end sets. Those are all big reasons why the model ranks Allen as WR19 after he finished as WR8 in 2023. See more Fantasy football busts 2024 here
