    If you're drafting between now and the 2024 NFL Kickoff Game on Thursday, there isn't much time left for your 2024 Fantasy football draft prep. Having a reliable set of live-updated 2024 Fantasy football rankings you can rely on helps you adjust to all the latest NFL news and make informed decisions at every stage of your drafts. Steelers running back Jaylen Warren suffered a hamstring injury this preseason that appeared as if it would cost him regular-season games, but Warren claims his rehab is ahead of schedule. Can you safely move Warren back up your 2024 Fantasy football draft boards and how might his early return impact Najee Harris' 2024 Fantasy football projections? Before crafting your 2024 Fantasy football draft strategy, be sure to check out the 2024 Fantasy football rankings and 2024 Fantasy football cheat sheets from the proven computer model at SportsLine .

    Last year, the model accurately predicted that Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs would carry significantly more value than expected during his rookie season. The result: Gibbs rushed for 945 yards and 10 touchdowns while also catching 52 passes for 316 yards and a score. Gibbs was coming off the board in the middle of the fourth round on average but finished as a top-10 running back 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 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 Fantasy football rankings 2024, along with plenty of sleepers, breakouts and busts. Head to SportsLine now to see them .

    Top 2024 Fantasy football breakouts

    One of the 2024 Fantasy football breakouts the model is predicting: Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman. After trading Stefon Diggs and a sixth-round pick in last year's draft to the Texans in exchange for second and fifth-round picks in 2025, Buffalo has a clear need for a No. 1 receiver. Ultimately, the Bills chose Coleman with the No. 33 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft with hopes that he can quickly become exactly that.

    Coleman spent his first two seasons at Michigan State, where he caught 65 passes for 848 yards and eight touchdowns. Then he played his final season at Florida State, where he caught 50 passes for 658 yards and 11 scores to help lead the Seminoles to the ACC Championship. He has incredible size at 6-foot-4 and 210 pounds and he's reportedly already formed a strong rapport with Bills quarterback Josh Allen, which is why the model ranks him ahead of first-round rookie wide receivers like Rome Odunze and Xavier Worthy.

    Another breakout that SportsLine's Fantasy football rankings 2024 have identified: Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels. Washington used the No. 2 overall pick in the draft to snag Daniels, who won the Heisman Trophy at LSU last season. He threw for 3,812 yards and 40 touchdowns while rushing for 1,134 yards and 10 more scores.

    Daniels completed 72.2% of his passes and averaged a whopping 11.7 yards per pass attempt, which will be difficult numbers to replicate at the NFL level. However, he has all the tools to make an immediate Fantasy impact with his arm and legs, especially since he has quality weapons around him. SportsLine's model ranks Daniels ahead of established quarterbacks like Jared Goff, Kyler Murray and Trevor Lawrence in its 2024 Fantasy football rankings.
