Fantasy football rankings 2024: Breakouts from veteran NFL model that nailed Jahmyr Gibbs' big season

After helping players like Justin Jefferson, Stefon Diggs, Adam Thielen and T.J. Hockenson become stars, Kirk Cousins now has a new cast of characters with the Atlanta Falcons. Drake London and Kyle Pitts are the most intriguing Falcons pass-catchers in the 2024 Fantasy football rankings. London is viewed as a player who wasn't able to maximize his potential with previous Atlanta quarterbacks, with many thinking Cousins' arrival thrusts him into being one of the 2024 Fantasy football breakouts. Meanwhile, Pitts went from a standout rookie year to being one of the Fantasy football busts as a sophomore.

Pitts disappointed again in his third year, but having a proven quarterback could propel him to become one of the 2024 Fantasy football sleepers. 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.

Top 2024 Fantasy football breakouts

One of the 2024 Fantasy football breakouts the model is predicting: Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. The rookie out of Ohio State has outstanding bloodlines -- his father is Hall of Fame wide receiver Marvin Harrison Sr. -- and he is one of the most polished wide receiver prospects to ever enter the NFL. In his final season playing for Ohio State, Harrison caught 67 passes for 1,211 and 14 touchdowns, despite the Buckeyes dealing with some growing pains at the quarterback position.

Harrison is joining a Cardinals offense that has the potential to be very explosive now that Kyler Murray is once again healthy. When Murray has been available, he has proven to be one of the most productive fantasy quarterbacks in the league. Harrison will have the opportunity to establish himself as the Cardinals' No. 1 wide receiver during training camp.

Another breakout that SportsLine's Fantasy football rankings 2024 have identified: Titans running back Tyjae Spears. As a college junior in 2021, Spears was the FBS leader in touchdowns (21) while ranking fourth in the nation in scrimmage yards (1,837). As a rookie with Tennessee in 2022, even while playing second fiddle to Derrick Henry, Spears produced 838 scrimmage yards and three scores. Henry's touches decreased by 74 from the prior season primarily due to Spears' effectiveness, so the second-year running back should have no problem taking touches away from new Titans starter Tony Pollard.

The former Cowboy is coming off a career-low of 4.0 yards per carry, as he showed last year that his production wanes as his touches increase. That's positive news for Spears' volume, as is Tennessee's offensive coordinator saying he considers the two backs as 1A and 1B. Spears has a 2024 Fantasy football ADP outside the top 100, but has the potential to lead the Titans in total yards, so he's deserving to be on the radar as a 2024 Fantasy football breakout.
