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

The Raiders named Gardner Minshew their Week 1 starting quarterback and although he may not someone you are targeting as a starting quarterback in the 2024 Fantasy football QB rankings, how should Minshew starting change the 2024 Fantasy football projections for the Raiders' playmakers? Minshew appeared in all 17 games last season, including making 13 starts for the Colts due to injuries to Anthony Richardson. The Colts ranked 11th in scoring and 14th in yards per game, finding offensive success with Minshew at quarterback. Will Minshew starting boost the spot of Davante Adams in the 2024 Fantasy football rankings? Before crafting your 2024 Fantasy football draft strategy, be sure to check out the 2024 Fantasy football rankings and cheat sheets from the proven computer model at SportsLine .

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: Bills running back James Cook. The 24-year-old rushed for 1,122 yards and added 44 receptions for 445 yards with six total touchdowns last season. Although his total touchdowns aren't where you'd love a starting running back in Fantasy football to be, that's just one of the downsides of playing alongside Josh Allen, who is one of the best runners regardless of position once inside the 5-yard line.

However, there are clear benefits of playing with Allen, who has made Buffalo one of the most dominant offensive teams in the NFL. Buffalo ranked fifth in yards and six in scoring last season and with Cook as the team's clear RB1, he will have plenty of usage for yardage. Allen also lost his two favorite wide receivers in Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis and this could make him rely more on Cook, a proven pass-catcher from out of the backfield, throughout the 2024 NFL season.

Another sleeper that SportsLine's Fantasy football rankings 2024 have identified: Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith. The 33-year-old is flying under the radar following a disappointing 2023 campaign, finishing as the QB25 in Fantasy scoring at 15.3 points per game. Smith was one of the top sleepers in 2022 though, throwing for 4,282 yards and 30 touchdowns while completing an NFL-high 69.8% of his passes.

He has one of the top wide receiver groups in the NFL at his disposal in DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett and Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Sam Howell is next on Seattle's depth chart, so it is difficult to envision Smith losing his starting job this year. SportsLine's model certainly doesn't expect that to happen, ranking Smith ahead of quarterbacks like Aaron Rodgers and Matthew Stafford, which makes him a Fantasy football sleeper.
