Fantasy Football Draft Prep 2024: Drafting from No. 10 overall in a half-PPR league, every pick, more

Managers have to get a bit creative in 2024 Fantasy Football drafts if they are selecting outside the top-8 overall. Every elite wide receiver will be off the board and all three of the Tier 1 running backs will also, most likely, be drafted by this point. There aren't any quarterbacks or tight ends worth selecting at No. 10 overall in this class so I opted to draft my favorite breakout candidate for 2024 -- Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson. I lean toward wide receiver in Round 1 of half or full-PPR leagues, but Wilson would be my pick regardless because I believe he has the best opportunity of any running back or receiver to jump into the first tier at his position.

Wilson has been the most dominant player at Jets training camp, he was unguardable against Commanders cornerbacks during joint practices and we've seen Aaron Rodgers lean heavily from a volume standpoint on his alpha WR -- he has all the makings of a lead player for my team -- but I'll need help after that. Harrison Jr. was my second-round pick and there's inherent risk in taking a rookie receiver that high, but he's got a clear path toward 130+ targets and is arguably the cleanest receiver prospect since Ja'Marr Chase.

My favorite value picks are Travis Kelce and Rashee Rice in rounds 4-5. My strong conviction that Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City passing game will undergo positive regression from a touchdown standpoint fuels the bullish prediction. Kelce had a five-year low in touchdowns in 2023 and is arguably one of the five best bets for positive touchdown regression. Rice has an opportunity to eat up targets with the space created in the middle of the field by outside speedsters Marquise Brown and Xavier Worthy.

Conner is one of my favorite values at the running back position behind an offensive line that was successful and committed to running the ball in 2023 -- specifically in the red zone -- and he hasn't given up almost any of the first-team workload to rookie Trey Benson thus far in training camp.

Overall, this is my favorite team I've drafted out of the 10th spot and it gives me hope that I can still make a run toward the Championship in 2024 even when I don't get a draft pick in the top-eight overall.
