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

Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud took the NFL by storm as a rookie, throwing for 4,108 yards and 23 touchdowns with only five interceptions in 15 games. Stroud also led the Texans to a playoff victory and was awarded NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year honors for his efforts. However, now Fantasy football 2024 managers are expecting even more in 2024 after Houston traded for Stefon Diggs and got Tank Dell back from injury. Stroud's 2024 Fantasy football ADP is 52.02, so can he life up to the hype as one of the fourth- or fifth-round 2024 Fantasy football picks? Having a reliable set of live-updated 2024 Fantasy football rankings is the best way to ensure you're getting maximum value out of every pick this draft season.

Who are the top players to target in the 2024 Fantasy football QB rankings, 2024 Fantasy football RB rankings, 2024 Fantasy football WR rankings, and 2024 Fantasy football TE rankings? 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. Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills: Diggs is gone but there's no reason to think that is going to stop Allen from eclipsing 4,000 passing yards, approaching 30 passing touchdowns and making a significant impact as a runner in 2024. He's been QB1, QB1, QB2 and QB1 over the last four years and he's our top Fantasy football quarterback option again this season.

2. Jalen Hurts, Philadelphia Eagles: Despite throwing a career-high 15 interceptions in 2023, Hurts delivered outstanding overall results for anybody who had him rostered last season. He threw for 3,858 yards and 23 touchdowns (both career-highs) and rushed for 605 yards and 15 touchdowns. He's reached double-digit rushing touchdowns in each of the last three seasons now and that dependability as a goal-line runner should be alluring.

3. Lamar Jackson, Baltimore Ravens: Now a two-time NFL MVP, Jackson completed a career-high 67.2% of his passes and also set a new high-water mark with 3,678 passing yards. He threw 24 touchdowns against just seven interceptions and added 821 yards and five more scores as a runner. With Derrick Henry in the Baltimore lineup now to soften opposing defenses, expect another stellar year from Jackson. 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: He's battled a calf injury this preseason but there aren't any concerns about his availability for Week 1. Since joining the 49ers, McCaffrey has 3,233 scrimmage yards and 31 touchdowns in 27 games and that level of productivity is exactly why he's a consensus No. 1 overall pick in PPR drafts.

2. Breece Hall, New York Jets: Hall tore his ACL in the middle of his rookie season and was on a pitch count as he continued to recover early in the season. However, that didn't stop him from piling up 1,585 scrimmage yards and nine touchdowns on the season. He was New York's best offensive weapon in 2023 and he should be even more dynamic in 2024 now that Aaron Rodgers is back to keep defenses honest.

3. Saquon Barkley, Philadelphia Eagles: Barkley missed three games and played in a generally abysmal offense but still managed 1,242 scrimmage yards and 10 touchdowns in 2023. Now he joins an Eagles offense that is much more balanced and the model is predicting that will elevate Barkley's production in 2024. 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: A four-year, $136 million extension ended Lamb's holdout and now the former first-round pick can get back to dominating opposing defenses. Lamb's numbers have improved in each of his four years in the NFL, but even if he can't improve on the 135 catches for 1,749 yards and 12 touchdowns he had in 2023, he's still worth consideration near the top of your 2024 Fantasy football drafts.

2. Tyreek Hill, Miami Dolphins: Hill transitioned from Patrick Mahomes to Tua Tagovailoa in 2022 and most forecasted his production would suffer. Instead, he's caught 238 passes for 3,509 yards with 20 touchdowns in his two seasons in Miami. There's no reason to think that will change in 2024 and he remains one of the safest first-round options this draft season.

3. Amon-Ra St. Brown, Detroit Lions: A fourth-round pick in 2021, St. Brown quickly worked his way up the depth chart as a rookie and then earned Pro Bowl honors in 2022. He followed that up by catching 119 passes for 1,515 yards and 10 touchdowns to earn first-team All-Pro honors in 2023 despite battling multiple nagging injuries. He's healthy entering 2024 and it's possible he's just scraping the surface of his potential. See more top WRs here .

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 wasn't able to extend his streak of 1,000-yard receiving seasons last year but he was only 16 yards shy and he still caught 93 passes despite missing two games. He was top five at his position in pretty much every Fantasy-relevant statistical category except touchdowns in 2023 and you can probably build in some positive touchdown regression into your 2024 projections.

2. Sam LaPorta, Detroit Lions: As a rookie, LaPorta played 83.7% of Detroit offensive snaps and he led all tight ends with 10 touchdown receptions. He caught 86 passes for 889 yards overall and it's probably he's even more involved in Dan Campbell's offense in 2024.

3. Mark Andrews, Baltimore Ravens: Andrews missed seven games in 2023 because of a cracked fibula but he's healthy entering the 2024 season and should yield top-of-the-position production as he always has. His 2.01 yards per route run ranked third among NFL tight ends last year and he'll be an important part of the Baltimore offense this season. See more top TEs here .
