    With the second full week of NFL preseason games now in the books, it's time for fantasy football managers to start putting the finishing touches on their 2024 fantasy football draft prep. History has proven that the key to season-long success is hitting on 2024 fantasy football sleepers and avoiding 2024 fantasy football busts. Last year's list of players who outperformed their fantasy football ADP included Lions tight end Sam LaPorta, Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua, and Rams running back Kyren Williams. Players who failed to live up to expectations a year ago included Commanders (then-Chargers) running back Austin Ekeler, Titans (then-Cowboys) running back Tony Pollard, and Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts.

    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.

Since then, Kupp has battled injuries, playing in only 21 games in the last two seasons combined.

    The model is calling for a bounce back and return to form season for Kupp in 2024. The former third round pick out of Eastern Washington is the model's WR13, but with an ADP of 82.3, the former Kupp is coming off the board in the seventh round on average in CBS Sports fantasy drafts. Kupp is being taken after guys like Mike Evans, DeVonta Smith, and Drake London, who are all projected to finished below him in the fantasy wide receiver rankings at the end of the season.

    Another sleeper that SportsLine's Fantasy football rankings 2024 have identified: Buccaneers running back Rachaad White. White amassed a huge role in Tampa Bay last season and there's no reason to see that changing this year as the Buccaneers return a similar offensive personnel on the field. White played 77.2% of all running back snaps last season and along with being the team's leading rusher with 990 yards, he was third in receptions (64) and receiving yards (549) last year.

    Tampa Bay returned its top two receivers in Evans and Godwin along with starting tight end Cade Otton and quarterback Baker Mayfield. Although Dave Canales, last season's offensive coordinator, left to become the head coach of the Panthers, White showcased his talents to the point where he should dominate the carries and become a key pass-catcher again this season, making him a sleeper in the model's latest 2024 Fantasy football rankings.
