The Miami Dolphins invested in their playmakers this offseason, extending contracts for quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and receivers Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. All three rank high in the 2024 Fantasy football QB rankings and 2024 Fantasy football WR rankings. However, their running backs are also worth a look, as veteran Raheem Mostert, 2023 Fantasy breakout De'Von Achane and promising rookie Jaylen Wright all have upside. The Dolphins are certainly a team to study during your 2024 Fantasy football draft prep, but there are plenty of other intriguing teams to consider.
The Houston Texans have gone from a Fantasy wasteland to a popular source for 2024 Fantasy football picks. Quarterback C.J. Stroud and receivers Stefon Diggs, Tank Dell and Nico Collins are all in the top 60 of the latest 2024 Fantasy football ADP. Which 2024 Fantasy football sleepers will emerge from those high-powered offenses? Having a reliable set of live-updated 2024 Fantasy football rankings can help you identify players capable of outperforming their ADP. Before crafting 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 accurately predicted that Jets running back Breece Hall would significantly outperform his sixth-round Fantasy football ADP in 10-team PPR leagues. The result: Hall rushed 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'd wind up finishing as the No. 2 running back in CBS Sports PPR leagues behind only Christian McCaffrey.
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 2024 Fantasy football PPR rankings and 2024 Fantasy football standard rankings 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 sleepers
One of the 2024 Fantasy football sleepers the model is predicting: Steelers receiver George Pickens. The second-round pick out of Georgia in 2022 turned in a promising sophomore campaign with 63 catches for 1,140 yards and five touchdowns. Pittsburgh hasn't had much consistency at quarterback during his years, but the Steelers hope the Russell Wilson vs. Justin Fields battle will bring them a better answer in 2024.
Regardless of who is delivering him the ball, Pickens is underrated. His current 2024 Fantasy football ADP has him going off the board in the seventh round. However, the model predicts that he'll outperform fourth-rounders Chris Olave and Garrett Wilson as well as several other receivers going off in the fifth and sixth rounds.
Another sleeper that SportsLine's Fantasy football rankings 2024 have identified: Browns wide receiver Amari Cooper. Now entering his 10th NFL season, Cooper is a five-time Pro Bowler and he caught 72 passes for 1,250 yards and five touchdowns last season. However, he's only been the 27th wide receiver off the board on average in early drafts.
He's had seven 1,000-yard seasons in his career and he's Deshaun Watson's clear No. 1 option in Cleveland. Cooper's air yards share (42.4%) ranked fourth among NFL wide receivers last season and his 29 deep targets ranked sixth. With another offseason to develop chemistry with Watson under his belt, the model is predicting a top-20 season out of the veteran. See which other Fantasy football sleepers 2024 to pick here .
