Fantasy Football Rankings 2024: Busts from heralded NFL model that nailed Jaylen Waddle's down season

Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers landed among the Fantasy football busts last season after getting hurt just four snaps into his campaign. His days of being atop the Fantasy football QB rankings are likely gone, but the two-time MVP winner might still be worth considering in Fantasy football 2024. Rodgers has no rushing upside at this stage of his career though, so his owners will rely heavily on his passing production. Does he land among the 2024 Fantasy football sleepers or 2024 Fantasy football busts? There is plenty of star power in the 2024 Fantasy football rankings with players like Jalen Hurts, Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes on the board. Which signal-callers should you target with your 2024 Fantasy football draft strategy? As you begin your 2024 Fantasy football draft prep, 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.

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 busts

One of the 2024 Fantasy football busts the model is predicting: Dolphins running back De'Von Achane. He lit up the league during his rookie season, averaging 7.8 yards per carry while scoring 11 touchdowns on 130 touches. His efficiency was not sustainable though, and he is going to continue sharing the workload with Raheem Mostert.

Achane also dealt with injury issues during rookie season, so he is likely going to remain a situational back in 2024. The Dolphins added another running back to their roster in rookie Jaylen Wright, who could take more touches away from Achane. While he was extremely impressive when he was on the field last year, Achane has too many factors working against him to justify his current ADP.

Another bust that SportsLine's Fantasy football rankings 2024 have identified: Vikings running back Aaron Jones. Due to hamstring and knee injuries, Jones missed six games last year, leading to his worst numbers since his rookie year in 2017. Jones had 889 total yards and three touchdowns after averaging 1,431 yards and 12 TDs over the previous four seasons. Green Bay released him in the offseason, and Jones signed with the division rival Vikings.

However, Jones is downgrading in terms of offensive lines. The Vikings have ranked among the bottom eight NFL teams in both rushing yards and yards per carry in each of the last two seasons, despite having Dalvin Cook for one of those. Additionally, not only is Jones coming off an injury-plagued season, but his 4.6 yards per carry in 2023 matched a career-low and he will turn 30 years old this season. There are just too many red flags with Jones as the model has him outside its top 20 running backs in its 2024 Fantasy football rankings. See which other Fantasy football busts 2024 to avoid here .
