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

It's not often that a four-time MVP is thought of as one of the potential 2024 Fantasy football sleepers, but that's the position Aaron Rodgers is in. We all know that he lasted just four snaps last season, but Rodgers also wasn't his typical self in 2022, when he posted the lowest passer rating of his career. Rodgers has managed to keep his name in the headlines, but he's not being selected with early-round 2024 Fantasy football picks. Rodgers' 2024 Fantasy football 2024 places him outside the top 125 picks and he's in the vicinity of players like Matthew Stafford and Deshaun Watson.
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 tight end Dallas Goedert. After finishing as a top-10 Fantasy tight end in back-to-back years, Goedert was the TE15 last year and posted the lowest yards per reception of his career. However, much of his decline was due to a broken arm that sidelined him for three weeks, in addition to a different usage after returning from the injury.
Prior to the Week 9 injury, Goedert was his typical self with 38 catches for 410 yards and two touchdowns. When extrapolated over 17 games, that comes out to a stat line of 72-774-4, which means Goedert was on pace to set a career-high in receptions and achieve his second-most receiving yards. There's no reason to believe he can't reach those numbers in 2024, provided he doesn't break his arm again. The model sees last year as an outlier as it projects Goedert to be a top-10 Fantasy tight end again this season.
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.
