Fantasy Football Rankings 2024: Sleepers from unbiased NFL model that predicted Breece Hall's huge year

Fantasy football draft prep is different for every manager, but identifying potential 2024 Fantasy football sleepers is critical in every league. Players who dramatically outperform their 2024 Fantasy football ADP could define your season, so having them pegged before you go on the clock is a huge advantage. Players who paid attention to Rams running back Kyren Williams' preseason rise up the Rams depth chart last season were rewarded handsomely. Who will be this season's player who can seemingly come from nowhere to make a significant impact in your 2024 Fantasy football lineups?
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.

Top 2024 Fantasy football sleepers
One of the 2024 Fantasy football sleepers the model is predicting: Saints running back Alvin Kamara. he has been one of the most productive running backs for Fantasy owners in recent years, especially in PPR leagues. However, Fantasy managers seem to be scared of Kamara's lack of touchdown production in 2023, which saw him finish with just six.
Despite his red zone struggles, Kamara led all running backs with a whopping 6.62 targets per game last season. He is averaging 8.4 yards per reception in his career and has finished with at least 75 catches in five of his past seven seasons. Kamara is being picked outside of the top 50 in 2024 Fantasy football drafts, according to the latest Fantasy football ADP 2024. SportsLine's model, however, projects him to outperform De'Von Achane (second-round ADP), Josh Jacobs (third) and James Cook (third).
Another sleeper that SportsLine's Fantasy football rankings 2024 have identified: Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman. He is coming off his best season as a professional in terms of production, securing 109 receptions for 1,152 yards. He finished the season with 156 targets and his 30% target share ranked him among the league leaders.
Despite those impressive numbers, Fantasy owners are still sleeping on Pittman entering the 2024 NFL season. In fact, Pittman is being drafted in the 8th round on average according to the latest 2024 Fantasy football ADP. SportsLine's model expects Pittman to outperform fellow wide receivers like DK Metcalf (5th-round ADP), Jaylen Waddle (6th) and Tank Dell (6th), making him one of the top Fantasy football sleepers to target on draft day.
