Top 2024 Fantasy football picks

The Fantasy football draft bible features 2024 Fantasy football busts, including:

Drake London, WR, Atlanta Falcons: Fantasy expectations are high for London entering the 2024 season. The former first round pick out of USC has flashed glimpses of brilliance, but has yet to go over the 1,000-yard mark in his brief NFL career. London should benefit from a much better quarterback situation in 2024, but that may not be enough to justify his current ADP of 54.3 (fifth round), according to White.

"We're sticking with the Falcons as this is a team where big things are expected after the team added two potential upgrades at QB this offseason. However, Kirk Cousins is coming off a serious Achilles injury that may limit his output more than people expect, and if Michael Penix Jr. is pressed into duty, he may not be ready. London is being drafted for his best-case scenario considering he was 44th in points per game last year, and he's going to need to meet those expectations of taking a big step forward himself in addition to getting to play with a better QB in order to justify his draft slot," White told SportsLine.

Puka Nacua, WR, Los Angeles Rams: Nacua burst onto the fantasy football scene as a rookie in 2023, catching 105 passes for 1,486 yards and six touchdowns. The former BYU standout is now a known commodity in the fantasy football world, and currently has an ADP of 25.5, making him a third round pick on average. While White likes what Nacua brings to the table, he also believes the 23-year-old will have a difficult time duplicating his 2023 success.

"We had Cooper Kupp in our sixth slot last year, and the fact that he was a successful bust pick was due largely to Nacua. The same could be true in reverse this year, as Nacua had an unreal target rate in the first four weeks with Kupp out but then averaged 15 PPR points the rest of the way, which is still great -- that's what Brandon Aiyuk scored last year -- but it ranked 17th at the position. That means he played at a pace for much of the year that would qualify him as a bust this year if he matches it. I think it's likely he settles in as a WR2 rather than being a locked-in WR1," White told SportsLine. Get the full Fantasy football draft guide over at SportsLine .
