Fantasy football 2024 rankings, draft prep: QB, RB, WR, TE picks, cheat sheets, tiers, ADP from top NFL model

The latest 2024 Fantasy football ADP continues to show that running backs are atop many 2024 Fantasy football rankings. Christian McCaffrey is the consensus No. 1 pick, while Breece Hall and Bijan Robinson are also being picked in the top five in both the 2024 Fantasy football PPR rankings and 2024 Fantasy football non-PPR rankings. The latest ADP also shows Tyreek Hill and CeeDee Lamb as the top Fantasy football 2024 wide receivers going off the board, while Josh Allen, Jalen Hurts and Patrick Mahomes are the top Fantasy football quarterbacks being picked.

Should your 2024 Fantasy football draft strategy include going chalk on these positions, or are there potential 2024 Fantasy football sleepers and busts who could shake up the top of drafts? If you're looking for 2024 Fantasy football advice, be sure to check out the 2024 Fantasy football cheat sheets from the proven computer model at SportsLine .

Last year, the model accurately predicted that Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle would fail to live up to his Fantasy football ADP. Waddle's 2023 Fantasy football ADP was 34.86 overall and he was the 11th receiver off the board on average. He'd go on to notch a 1,000-yard season but only had 72 receptions with four touchdowns and he'd finish as the No. 34 Fantasy football wide receiver 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 2024 Fantasy football PPR rankings and 2024 Fantasy football standard projections update multiple times daily, so you're always getting the best Fantasy football advice and the latest Fantasy football tiers.

Now, SportsLine has simulated the entire NFL season 10,000 times and released its latest Fantasy football cheat sheets 2024 and draft advice, along with its top Fantasy QB, WR, RB and TE picks. Head to SportsLine now to see them .

Top 2024 Fantasy football QB rankings

Here's a look at SportsLine's top three 2024 Fantasy football QB picks:

1. Jalen Hurts, Philadelphia Eagles: Hurts has a plethora of weapons on offense and the Eagles added running back Saquon Barkley to a unit that already featured A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith. Hurts is coming off another successful season in 2023, throwing for 3,858 yards and 23 touchdowns, both of which were career-highs. He also added 15 rushing touchdowns last season, proving he has a high Fantasy ceiling again this year.

2. Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills: Allen is a dual-threat quarterback who has all the intangibles needed to win your Fantasy football championship. Allen has finished QB1 or QB2 four times since 2019, throwing for more than 4,000 yards in each of his last four seasons. He's also proven to be a capable runner, especially in the red zone. Last season, Allen averaged 4.7 yards per carry and rushed for 15 touchdowns.

3. Patrick Mahomes, Kansas City Chiefs: Mahomes was 10th among passers last season with just 20.9 Fantasy points per game, however, Kansas City's offense added some serious speed on the outside this offseason. The Chiefs signed Marquise Brown and drafted Xavier Worthy, giving Mahomes the option to connect for splash plays or find wide-open receivers closer to the line of scrimmage. Mahomes has posted a pair of 5,000-yard passing seasons and should be in line for a bounce-back Fantasy campaign in 2024. See more top QBs here .

Top 2024 Fantasy football RB rankings

Here's a look at SportsLine's top three 2024 Fantasy football RB picks:

1. Christian McCaffrey, San Francisco 49ers: McCaffrey is coming off his best season as a professional, finishing the 2023 season with 272 rushing attempts for 1,459 yards and 14 rushing touchdowns. He also excelled as a pass catcher, hauling in 67 receptions for 564 yards and seven additional scores. McCaffrey is the cream of the crop at the running back position and should be the first RB taken off the board.

2. Breece Hall, New York Jets: Hall finished as RB2 overall last year despite the fact he was coming off an ACL injury and he only scored five rushing touchdowns. With a healthy Aaron Rodgers under center, Hall isn't expected to see a lot of crowded boxes in 2024.

3. Saquon Barkley, Philadelphia Eagles: Barkley signed with the rival Eagles this offseason after spending his first six seasons with the Giants. He should benefit greatly from Philadelphia's effective offensive line after averaging just 3.9 yards per carry last season. Despite the low rushing numbers behind a shaky offensive line, Barkley still managed to reach double-digits in touchdowns the last two seasons. See more top RBs here .

Top 2024 Fantasy football WR rankings

Here's a look at SportsLine's top three 2024 Fantasy football WR picks:

1. CeeDee Lamb, Dallas Cowboys: In addition to leading the NFL in receptions, Lamb finished with 1,749 receiving yards and scored 14 total touchdowns during an All-Pro season. He was targeted 181 times and had at least 13 passes thrown his way seven times during the regular season. He was targeted an additional 17 times in Dallas' playoff loss to Green Bay and he could be in line for 200 targets in 2024.

2. Tyreek Hill, Miami Dolphins: While Lamb led the NFL in receptions, Hill led the league in receiving yards (1,799) and receiving touchdowns (13). It was his second season in a row with at least 119 receptions and 1,700 yards, and his 33.7% target share and 36.9% target rate from last season should carry over again in 2024.

3. Amon-Ra St. Brown, Detroit Lions: A fourth-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, St. Brown has far exceeded expectations at every step of his career. He caught 119 passes for 1,515 yards and 10 touchdowns in 2023 despite battling nagging injuries and was targeted on 35.2% of red-zone passing attempts. See more top WRs here .

Top 2024 Fantasy football TE rankings

Here's a look at SportsLine's top three 2024 Fantasy football TE picks:

1. Travis Kelce, Kansas City Chiefs: A complete no-brainer as the top Fantasy tight end in recent years, Kelce's status is a bit more up in the air this season after recording 984 yards and five touchdowns last season. After seven straight 1,000-yard seasons, however, SportsLine's model isn't writing him off. He remains TE1 thanks in large part to the ample scoring opportunities he'll get in a Kansas City passing attack that lacks a clear No. 1 WR.

2. Mark Andrews, Baltimore Ravens: A cracked fibula ended Andrews' 2023 campaign, but he was pacing for another solid season. A repeat of his monster 107-1361-9 season in 2021 might be a stretch, but his recent production, when healthy, suggests he could push for 1,000 yards and eight or nine touchdowns if he stays on the field.

3. Sam LaPorta, Detroit Lions: A Fantasy football breakout in 2023, LaPorta exploded for 86 catches, 889 yards and 10 touchdowns as a rookie. Jared Goff clearly found a high level of comfort with the Iowa product, and there's no reason to expect significant regression in 2024. See more top TEs here .
