Fantasy Football Rankings 2024: Insider tips from the NFL model that predicted Breece Hall’s big year

Despite scoring 1,000 yards in the running game in his first season and tying Christian McCaffrey for the NFL lead with 21 total touchdowns, owners appear to be cautious about Raheem Mostert in the 2024 fantasy football rankings. Despite finishing as the RB5 last season, Mostert was the 23rd running back taken off the board according to the 2024 fantasy football ADP. Should you be wary of his time-sharing with De’Von Achane and the potential touchdown drop, or is it worth taking Mostert who appears in one of the mid-range 2024 fantasy football rankings?

Finding potential 2024 fantasy football insider picks is a top priority this draft season, and the best way to do that is with a reliable set of live-updated 2024 fantasy football rankings. Before you begin crafting your 2024 fantasy football draft strategy, be sure to check out the 2024 fantasy football rankings and cheat sheets from SportsLine’s proven computer model.

Last year, the model correctly predicted that Jets running back Breece Hall would significantly exceed his sixth-round ADP in fantasy football in 10-team PPR leagues. The result: Hall ran 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 would end up as the No. 2 running back in CBS Sports’ PPR leagues behind Christian McCaffrey.

The same model has proven itself to be effective in providing fantasy football picks. It identified AJ Brown as a surprise pick in 2020 and predicted Jonathan Taylor’s monstrous 2021 season. Additionally, it has predicted previous fantasy football surprise picks like Derrick Henry in 2019, Christian McCaffrey and Alvin Kamara in 2018, and Davante Adams in 2017. Anyone who has bet on players like these has had a good run at their championship titles.

The model is developed by the same people who create the projections for all three major fantasy sites, and it beat human experts last season when there was a huge difference in the rankings. The Fantasy Football 2024 PPR Rankings and the Fantasy Football 2024 Standard Rankings are updated multiple times a day, so you’ll always get the best fantasy football picks.

Now SportsLine has simulated the entire NFL season 10,000 times and released its latest 2024 fantasy football rankings, along with plenty of surprise candidates, breakouts and flops. Head to SportsLine now to see them.

The best insider tips for Fantasy Football 2024

One of the insider tips for Fantasy Football 2024 that the model predicts: Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman. The 26-year-old was clearly the best weapon in Indianapolis’ passing game last year, catching 109 passes for 1,152 yards and four touchdowns. He was targeted a whopping 156 times, putting him 58 times ahead of Josh Downs and leading the team in this category.

Pittman had a 30% target share and 33% air yards share overall, which helped offset his poor touchdown variance. Downs will likely miss the start of the season due to an ankle sprain, which could increase Pittman’s fantasy maximum even further. The model projects a positive touchdown drop from Pittman, ranking ahead of wide receivers like DK Metcalf and DJ Moore.

Another dark horse identified by SportsLine’s 2024 fantasy football rankings: Patriots running back Antonio Gibson. Once a 1,000-yard runner, Gibson was viewed as more of a pass-catching option in his final two seasons in Washington. He’ll likely fill a similar role in New England, but he’s playing in an offense that will likely rely on checkdowns often, and Rhamondre Stevenson has struggled with injuries throughout his career.

Stevenson has missed five games twice since entering the league three years ago, and his ankles have landed him on the injured list seven times in the past two years. Gibson has a 2024 fantasy football ADP of 140.65 and should compete for 50 receptions regardless of Stevenson’s health. The upside is clear, though, if Stevenson is out.
