Fantasy Football Rankings 2024: Sleepers, breakouts, busts by NFL model that called Deebo Samuel's hard year

The Tennessee Titans have been adding weapons to compliment young quarterback Will Levis , who took over as the starter during the second half of his rookie season. Levis now has wide receivers Calvin Ridley , DeAndre Hopkins and Tyler Boyd at his disposal, while Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears will spearhead the rushing attack following the departure of Derrick Henry. Those weapons could help Levis be one of the 2024 Fantasy football breakouts, especially since they will play under new head coach Brian Callahan, who had success as the offensive coordinator with the Bengals .

Which 2024 Fantasy football picks you should you target in Tennessee? Levis is being selected in the latter rounds according to the current 2024 Fantasy football ADP, even though he faces no competition for the starting job. It's critical to target 2024 Fantasy football sleepers and 2024 Fantasy football breakouts while avoiding 2024 Fantasy football busts.

Last year, the model accurately predicted that Buccaneers running back Rachaad White was being dramatically undervalued. White was coming off the board in the seventh round on average in 12-team PPR leagues, but he emerged as Tampa Bay's workhorse ball carrier and provided significantly more value than expected, finishing No. 4 at his position. White rushed for 990 yards and six touchdowns while adding 64 catches for 549 yards and three more scores as a receiver. Anybody who followed the model's advice scored an every week starting running back in the middle rounds.

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.

Top 2024 Fantasy football sleepers

One of the 2024 Fantasy football sleepers the model is predicting: Titans running back Tyjae Spears. The 2023 third-round pick is coming off a strong rookie season, racking up 838 yards from scrimmage while scoring three touchdowns. Tennessee's backfield looks significantly different heading into the 2024 campaign since star Derrick Henry is no longer on the roster.

Tony Pollard is set to take over as the lead back in the offense, but Spears has an easier path to competing for touches than he did with Henry on the team. Pollard struggled in his return from an injury he suffered during the 2022 postseason, so Spears could wind up as the bell-cow back by the end of the season. Spears was heavily involved in the passing game last season and new head coach Brian Callahan has a history of involving his running backs in the passing attack.

Top 2024 Fantasy football breakouts

One of the 2024 Fantasy football breakouts the model is predicting: Panthers running back Jonathon Brooks . The former Texas star was a coveted player heading into the 2024 NFL Draft after demonstrating an ability to force missed tackles, protect the quarterback and catch passes out of the backfield. Carolina snagged Brooks with the No. 46 overall pick in the draft, trading up six spots even though he is recovering from a torn ACL he suffered last season at Texas.

New head coach Dave Canales helped turn Rachaad White into a breakout running back at Tampa Bay last year, as White commanded the ninth-most targets among all running backs. White also finished with the fifth-most touches at his position overall, so Brooks could be in line for a monster season if he passes Chuba Hubbard on the depth chart. The soon-to-be 21-year-old has a ton of upside, and the model ranks Brooks ahead of running backs like Jerome Ford , Ezekiel Elliott and Gus Edwards . See more Fantasy football breakouts 2024 here .

Top 2024 Fantasy football busts

As for players to avoid, the model lists Bears running back D'Andre Swift as one of its 2024 Fantasy football busts. Swift made his first Pro Bowl and enjoyed his first 1,000-yard season with the Eagles in 2023, which earned him a three-year, $24 million contract to join Chicago this offseason.

However, the Bears weren't done there. They traded for Keenan Allen later in the offseason and spent the No. 9 overall pick on Rome Odunze after drafting Caleb Williams No. 1. With Cole Kmet and D.J. Moore already on the roster in Chicago, you can expect the Bears to be a pass-first team, a big reason why the model ranks Swift as RB24 despite the fact that he's been the 17th running back off the board on average.
