    Quarterback is the most important position in football and every year we see it prioritized near the top of the NFL Draft. There are seven quarterbacks who will start this season and were drafted No. 1 overall, including Baker Mayfield, Matthew Stafford and the latest addition, Caleb Williams. However, quarterback shouldn't be on your radar if you have one of the top 2024 Fantasy football picks. The difference between QB7 (Jared Goff) and QB14 (Sam Howell) in 2023 was only 50 points for the entire season. With a reliable set of live-updated 2024 Fantasy football rankings, you can identify potential 2024 Fantasy football sleepers at every position to ensure you have the depth needed to make a deep run. 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.

    Now, SportsLine has simulated the entire NFL season 10,000 times and released its latest Fantasy football rankings 2024, along with plenty of sleepers, breakouts and busts. Head to SportsLine now to see them .

    Top 2024 Fantasy football sleepers

    One of the 2024 Fantasy football sleepers the model is predicting: Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith. Despite Philadelphia's offensive struggles down the stretch and the presence of A.J. Brown, Smith finished as WR19 in CBS Sports PPR leagues last season after catching 81 passes for 1,066 yards and seven touchdowns even while missing a game.

    However, he's only coming off the board in the fifth round on average of 2024 Fantasy football drafts. Even though his target numbers were down (136 to 112) year-over-year, Smith's 9.5 yards per target were a career-high last season. The model is expecting the targets to level out and the per-touch production to continue, predicting that he finishes ahead of third-round options like Mike Evans and Deebo Samuel.

    Another sleeper that SportsLine's Fantasy football rankings 2024 have identified: Jets wide receiver Mike Williams. Drafting a 30-year-old receiver coming off of a season limited by an ACL injury is risky. However, a fresh start with a new team could be setting Williams up for a comeback campaign.

    Williams was very productive before getting injured in Week 3 last year, catching 19 passes for 249 yards in his final stint with the Los Angeles Chargers. He's expected to be the Jets WR2 once he is healthy enough to play, and he will be getting a boost working with Aaron Rodgers. Williams is projected to go late off the board in CBS Sports PPR leagues, but the model predicts he will transcend his 2024 Fantasy football ADP.
