Fantasy football rankings 2024: Breakouts from same NFL model that nailed Jahmyr Gibbs' huge season

After spending time at Texas sitting behind Bijan Robinson, Jonathon Brooks made the most of his final year in Austin. He rushed for 1,139 yards and 10 touchdowns while also adding 25 receptions for 286 yards and a score over 11 games. Brooks followed in Robinson's footsteps as the first running back off the board at the 2024 NFL Draft and could lead the Carolina Panthers' backfield as a rookie. Can Brooks be among 2024 Fantasy football breakouts or will he struggle to live up to a 2024 Fantasy football ADP of 102.67 in an offense that struggled last 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.

Top 2024 Fantasy football breakouts

One of the 2024 Fantasy football breakouts the model is predicting: Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey. Los Angeles went into the offseason facing dire salary-cap circumstances and had to release Mike Williams and trade Keenan Allen to get back to compliance. Now the wide receivers' room has a different look and feel and McConkey will be a big part of the rebuild.

The second-round pick out of Georgia has sub-4.4 speed in the 40-yard-dash and he's a dynamic route runner. He already figures to start in the slot where he can make use of his short-area quickness. Justin Herbert is battling an injury during training camp but if McConkey can quickly build a rapport, the model predicts that he finishes ahead of fellow rookie Xavier Worthy and second-year wideout Jordan Aaddision (who are both being drafted at least a round earlier on average).

Another breakout that SportsLine's Fantasy football rankings 2024 have identified: Bills receiver Keon Coleman. The Bills lost their top-two targeted receivers from last season, with Stefon Diggs being traded to the Texans and Gabe Davis signing with the Jaguars. They combined for 247 of the 576 pass attempts by Buffalo last season, resulting in 42.9% of last year's targets.

The Bills traded out of the first round on two separate occasions despite desperately needing a pass-catcher to help replace the lost production. Buffalo still selected Coleman with the first pick of the second round. Coleman was a big-play threat at Florida State last season with the ability to track the ball in the air, which pairs well with Allen's huge arm.
