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

Sean McVay has created no shortage of Fantasy football superstars over his time, with Puka Nacua as the latest example. Nacua went from a fifth-round rookie going unselected in the majority of Fantasy football drafts to a league-winning Fantasy football waiver wire addition. He's flying up the 2024 Fantasy football WR rankings. Running back Kyren Williams was a similar success story last year after totaling more than 150 yards with four touchdowns over his first two games. As a result, Williams has been one of the most-targeted players in the 2024 Fantasy football RB rankings. The Rams' Jordan Whittington, a sixth-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, had 11 receptions for 126 yards over his first two preseason games, so is he one of the 2024 Fantasy football deep sleepers to consider?

Proven 2024 Fantasy football rankings can help you determine where to draft every player. 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.

Top 2024 Fantasy football QB rankings

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

1. Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills: Allen has finished as QB1 in Fantasy football in three of the last four seasons, including last season, as he has the mold of the ideal Fantasy football quarterback. Allen can record yards with his arm and legs and score touchdowns in both capacities as well. He'll be without Stefon Diggs this season, but he still finished as QB1 last year even with Diggs finishing with his lowest yardage total in his four seasons in Buffalo. He's as reliable as it gets for Fantasy football quarterbacks.

2. Jalen Hurts, Philadelphia Eagles: Hurts was QB3 in Fantasy football last season and the Eagles added another elite playmaker to their offense this offseason. Philadelphia signed Saquon Barkley, who has averaged 3.9 receptions per game out of the backfield over his six NFL seasons. Hurts finished QB3 in Fantasy football for each of the last three seasons and he has the most rushing touchdowns (28) of any player in the NFL over the last two seasons.

3. Lamar Jackson, Baltimore Ravens: No quarterback in the NFL can compare to Jackson as a runner over his six NFL seasons. Jackson led the NFL in yards per rush (5.5) last season for the third time over the last five seasons. He's averaged 61.1 rushing yards per game over his NFL career and after leading all quarterbacks with 821 rushing yards last season, that running upside isn't going anywhere. He's also an above-average passer, ranking 15th in the NFL in passing yards last season, as the dual-threat quarterback is a constant reliable option for Fantasy football lineups.

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: The former Stanford standout led the league with 1,459 rushing yards in 2023, totaling 14 touchdowns with an additional 67 catches for 564 yards and seven touchdowns in the air. There are some concerns about wear and tear with McCaffrey, but after a full season with little to no injury issues he is expected to have another monster year for Fantasy owners.

2. Breece Hall, New York Jets: An ACL injury cut Hall's rookie season short in 2022, but his production skyrocketed during a healthy 2023 campaign. He is averaging 4.8 yards per carry on 303 rush attempts over two seasons, and he is expected to have a bigger workload in 2024.

3. Saquon Barkley, Philadelphia Eagle: The biggest question with Barkley is whether he can avoid injury, because he is one of the best backs in the league when he is healthy. Barkley totaled 5,211 rushing yards and 35 touchdowns over six seasons with the New York Giants, and he is expected to be very productive as he joins a more potent Philadelphia offense.

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: Lamb was just the WR22 through the first five weeks of last season before scoring 55.9 more Fantasy points than any other wideout from Weeks 6-18. Dallas unlocked the best of Lamb over that stretch, and now it can apply that strategy over an entire 18-week season, giving Lamb an even higher Fantasy ceiling than what he displayed last year in which he finished as the WR1.

2. Tyreek Hill, Miami Dolphins: Second, seventh, third and second -- those are Hill's positional rankings in terms of Fantasy points over the last four years. He's as consistent as they come and is the only player in NFL history with multiple seasons of 1,700-plus receiving yards, which he's done in each of the last two years.

3. Amon-Ra St. Brown, Detroit Lions: Despite Detroit adding playmakers like Jahmyr Gibbs and Sam LaPorta last year, St. Brown posted career-highs across the board with 119 catches, 1,515 yards and 10 touchdowns. He also has as high a Fantasy floor as one could have at that position as last year, St. Brown posted at least 89 yards or scored a touchdown in 18 of 19 regular plus postseason games.

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: Despite snapping a run of seven straight seasons with 1,000 or more receiving yards in 2023, Kelce was still among the most productive Fantasy tight ends in the league. The 34-year-old caught 93 passes for 984 yards and five touchdowns last season, which was a step back for him, but still enough for him to be a top-three tight end when it was all said and done. Kelce led all tight ends on a points-per-game basis last season and has finished as the No. 1 overall tight end in six of the last eight seasons.

2. Sam LaPorta, Detroit Lions: LaPorta had a sensational rookie season in Detroit, catching 86 passes for 889 yards and 10 touchdowns. Now entering his second season with the Lions, LaPorta should continue to benefit from the explosive playmakers featured in Detroit's offense. With Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jahmyr Gibbs attracting plenty of attention from opposing defenses, LaPorta is in line to have another successful season in 2024.

3. Mark Andrews, Baltimore Ravens: Andrews was on pace to have one of the best years of his career in 2023 before an ankle injury ended his season prematurely. In 10 games, the former Oklahoma standout caught 45 passes for 544 yards and six touchdowns. Andrews is set to enter the 2024 season completely healthy and will be looking to reclaim his status as the No. 1 target for reigning NFL MVP Lamar Jackson. See more top TEs here .
