Philadelphia signed running back Saquon Barkley to a four-year contract this offseason, giving the former Giants star a chance to rack up eye-popping 2024 Fantasy football projections. New York ranked near the bottom of the league in run-block win rate last year, while Philadelphia ranked first. Pro Football Focus has the Eagles as the second-best offensive line in the NFL this season, and their passing attack creates balance for Barkley. Is he someone you should target with early 2024 Fantasy football picks? Barkley joins Christian McCaffrey, Breece Hall and Bijan Robinson as the first running backs off the board in most 2024 Fantasy football RB rankings. McCaffrey was the RB1 in Fantasy last season, and injuries are the only thing that have made him one of the Fantasy football busts in recent years.
With reliable 2024 Fantasy football rankings, you can find value throughout your upcoming drafts and identify potential 2024 Fantasy football sleepers, 2024 Fantasy football breakouts, and 2024 Fantasy football busts. Before setting 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 Buccaneers running back 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 ball carrier 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. 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.
Now, SportsLine has simulated the entire NFL season 10,000 times and released its latest 2024 Fantasy football rankings, 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: Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin. He led the Buccaneers in receptions and receiving yards last season, but it did not translate to big Fantasy numbers. Godwin finished outside the top 36 in Fantasy scoring among wide receivers and caught just two touchdown passes.
However, Godwin is due for positive touchdown regression this season, especially since teammate Mike Evans continues to age. Tampa Bay also has a new offensive coordinator in Liam Coen, who has suggested that Godwin could be back in a full-time slot role. SportsLine's model has Godwin ranked ahead of five wide receivers who are going off the board before him in most Fantasy drafts, which makes him one of the 2024 Fantasy football deep sleepers to target this year.See more Fantasy football sleepers 2024 here.
Top 2024 Fantasy football breakouts
One of the 2024 Fantasy football breakouts the model is predicting: Bears quarterback Caleb Williams. The No. 1 pick in the NFL draft is trying to match C.J. Stroud's rookie numbers from last year, as Houston's quarterback averaged 18.7 Fantasy points per game. Williams joins an ideal offense in Chicago that features Keenan Allen, D'Andre Swift, DJ Moore and Rome Odunze.
The 2022 Heisman Trophy winner threw 42 touchdowns and rushed for 10 more during his first season with USC. His numbers declined last season, but he still posted solid figures considering USC's mediocre roster. Williams has all the tools to become a Fantasy star right away, especially since the Bears have surrounded him with plenty of weapons.See more Fantasy football breakouts 2024 here.
Top 2024 Fantasy football busts
As for players to avoid, the model lists Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray as one of its 2024 Fantasy football busts. He has averaged 20.9 Fantasy points per game since entering the NFL in 2019, with his ceiling being a 2020 campaign in which he averaged 24.4 points per game. Murray has a career completion percentage of 66.6 and a career average of 7.0 yards per pass attempt.
Murray suffered a torn ACL that prematurely ended his 2022 season and delayed his first start of 2023 until Week 10. The Cardinals added No. 4 pick Marvin Harrison Jr. to the fold, but Murray still lacks a proven receiver room. He has also proven to be too injury prone to justify his 2924 Fantasy football ADP, with the model ranking him behind four quarterbacks who are available later in drafts.See more Fantasy football busts 2024 here
