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

It’s only a matter of days until the 2024 NFL season begins, so preparations for the 2024 fantasy football draft are in full swing. A reliable set of 2024 fantasy football rankings can give fantasy players a good starting point for their 2024 selections. With over 150 players taken off the board in most drafts, there’s a lot of data to consider when trying to figure out who the dark horses, breakouts and flop players will be for 2024 in fantasy football. Which players should you target in the early rounds with your 2024 fantasy football draft cheat sheets, and which players are undervalued at their 2024 fantasy football ADP? Before you develop 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 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 dark horses for 2024 fantasy football that the model predicts: Jaguars wide receiver Christian Kirk. Kirk is considered Jacksonville’s biggest threat among receivers after the Jags decided to let Calvin Ridley go in the offseason. Kirk missed the final five games of last season to undergo core muscle surgery, but he was extremely productive for fantasy managers when he was on the field.

Before his injury, Kirk was WR19 in fantasy points per game and that number should rise with an increase in target share in 2024. He led the Jaguars in targets, catches and receiving yards, averaging 5.1 receptions for 69.2 yards on 7.6 targets per game before suffering the injury in Week 13. Despite his performance, Kirk is projected to be drafted in the 10th round on average, according to the latest 2024 fantasy football ADP. SportsLine’s model projects Kirk to outperform other wide receivers like Malik Nabers (8th round ADP), Jayden Reed (8th) and Christian Watson (9th).

Another dark horse identified by SportsLine’s 2024 fantasy football rankings: Packers quarterback Jordan Love. Love proved to be a star in his first season as a starter in Green Bay, and fantasy managers benefited tremendously. Last year, Love took over from Aaron Rodgers and averaged 22.5 fantasy points per game, including seven games with at least 26.3 fantasy points.

Despite those impressive numbers, Love is drafted close to QB10 in most leagues, and he could easily surpass that based on what he’s done in 2023. SportsLine’s model projects Love, who is drafted in the 5th round on average, to outperform other quarterbacks like Lamar Jackson (3rd round ADP) and CJ Stroud (4th), making him one of the top fantasy football sleepers to target on draft day.
