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

Derrick Henry is only 498 rushing yards shy of 10,000 for his career. After eight years in Tennessee, he'll try to eclipse that milestone with the Ravens in 2024. Henry will now share a backfield with Ravens quarterback and two-time NFL MVP Lamar Jackson, so stopping Baltimore's rushing attack could be a tall order for opposing defenses. How might Jackson's presence impact Henry's 2024 Fantasy football projections and where should you slot both in the 2024 Fantasy football rankings?

Meanwhile, CeeDee Lamb's contract holdout is over after he signed a four-year, $136 million extension on Monday. Does Lamb slot back in at the top of the 2024 Fantasy football WR rankings and where does he belong in the 2024 Fantasy football tiers? 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: Kelce's run of seven straight seasons with 1,000 or more receiving yards came to an end in 2023, but the future Hall of Famer 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. Of all the tight ends in the NFL, Kelce is in arguably the best situation from both schematic and quarterback perspectives.

2. Sam LaPorta, Detroit Lions: LaPorta exploded onto the fantasy football scene as a rookie in 2023, catching 86 passes for 889 yards and 10 touchdowns. Year two should bring more familiarity with the Lions' system and quarterback Jared Goff for LaPorta. The former Iowa standout also has the benefit of playing in an offense that features playmakers Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jahmyr Gibbs, who will attract plenty of attention from opposing defenses.

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 .
