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

The Dallas Cowboys ended a lengthy contract standoff with No. 1 receiver CeeDee Lamb, signing him to a four-year, $136 million extension just before the start of the season. Lamb is now the second-highest-paid non-quarterback in the NFL coming off a season in which he had 135 catches for 1,749 yards and 12 touchdowns. Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott now retains his top target and could climb the 2024 Fantasy football QB rankings. Where should you target Prescott and Lamb during your 2024 Fantasy football draft prep, and which 2024 Fantasy football tiers should house each player? With a live-updated set of 2024 Fantasy football rankings, you can make sure you're getting maximum value out of every pick this draft season. 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.

Now, SportsLine has simulated the entire NFL season 10,000 times and released its latest Fantasy football cheat sheets 2024 and draft advice, along with its top Fantasy QB, WR, RB and TE picks. Head to SportsLine now to see them .

Top 2024 Fantasy football QB rankings

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

1. Jalen Hurts, Philadelphia Eagles: Eagles fans might be concerned about the 15 interceptions he threw and a disastrous finish to the 2023 season as far as the team's concerned, but Hurts' production as a Fantasy football quarterback didn't waiver. He set new career-highs in passing yards (3,858), passing touchdowns (23) and rushing touchdowns (15), and now he'll add Saquon Barkley and Jahan Dotson as weapons in 2024.

2. Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills: Losing Stefon Diggs via trade this offseason could be a blow but the Bills are still built around having Josh Allen sling it all over the yard. Over the last four years, he's averaged 4,385 yards and 34 touchdowns through the air and he's had at least 421 rushing yards and six rushing touchdowns in every professional season he's played.

3. Lamar Jackson, Baltimore Ravens: Jackson's 457 pass attempts in 2023 were by far a career-high but he also completed a career-high 67.2% of those attempts. In a more modern-looking offense under Todd Monken, Jackson also set a career-high with 3,678 passing yards and had 24 touchdowns against only seven interceptions. He's also still the most dynamic running quarterback in the NFL, rushing for 821 yards and five touchdowns in his second MVP season. See more top QBs here .

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: McCaffrey was on the Madden cover and he's been battling a calf injury all preseason, but the 49ers have largely been taking preventative measures to ensure their star running back is ready Week 1. If he's in the lineup, you know exactly what you're getting, as he's averaged 119.7 scrimmage yards and 1.1 touchdowns per game since he was traded to San Francisco.

2. Breece Hall, New York Jets: Hall spent the first month of the season on a pitch count after suffering a season-ending injury as a rookie and faced loaded boxes after Aaron Rodgers was injured in Week 1. However, he still managed 1,585 scrimmage yards and nine touchdowns. It should be smoother sailing in Year Three with Rodgers healthy to soften opposing defenses.

3. Saquon Barkley, Philadelphia Eagles: Barkley spent his first six seasons in New York and missed 25 games during that span while playing behind a porous offensive line. However, he still 7,311 scrimmage yards and 47 touchdowns in 74 games while averaging more than 20 touches per game. That workload might go down in a talented Philadelphia offense but the quality of opportunities should increase with the surrounding skill talent and a strong offensive line. See more top RBs here .

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: Now entering his fifth NFL season, Lamb has set a new career-high in receptions, yards and receiving touchdowns in every year of his career. That culminated in a 2023 campaign where he produced 135 catches for 1,749 yards and 12 touchdowns. Even if he can't top those numbers again in 2024, he'll be the top option in a prolific Dallas offense and his floor is as high as any receiver in the game.

2. Tyreek Hill, Miami Dolphins: When Hill left Kansas City, a few prognosticators dared to predict that his production would fall off without Patrick Mahomes. Instead, he piled up 238 receptions for 3,509 yards and 20 touchdowns over two seasons in Miami. He led the NFL in yards per route run (3.88) and it's hard to imagine a world where he isn't one of the league's best outside of injury -- and he's only missed one game in the last three years.

3. Amon-Ra St. Brown, Detroit Lions: Like Lamb, St. Brown has improved upon his numbers in each of his three years in the NFL and he's coming off a season where he had 119 catches for 1,515 yards and 10 touchdowns. However, unlike the other two, he does most of his damage near the line of scrimmage, with an average depth of target of just 7.9 yards (85th among NFL receivers) and 668 yards after catch (second among receivers).

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: Kansas City overhauled its wide receivers room by signing Marquise Brown and drafting Xavier Worthy after that unit underachieved last season. Unfortunately for the Chiefs, Brown is battling a shoulder injury but even if everybody were healthy, it's still clear that Kelce is the No. 1 option in the Kansas City passing attack. He's averaged 96 catches for just under 1,000 yards and eight touchdowns over the last eight seasons.

2. Sam LaPorta, Detroit Lions: The Iowa product was a second-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft and he quickly earned the trust of Dan Campbell and his staff. He played in at least 70% of the offensive snaps in every game but one, a Week 17 win over the Vikings where the Lions had already clinched the NFC North. He had 86 catches for 889 yards and 10 touchdowns and could be even more involved in the offense in 2024.

3. Mark Andrews, Baltimore Ravens: Andrews missed seven games last year, but it's the first time that he's ever missed more than two games during a season in his career. When he was on the field, the numbers all make it clear that he's still a clear top-five option at the position. He ranked fourth in target share among tight ends (22.2%) and that number shot up to a staggering 37.8% in the red zone. See more top TEs here .
