Top 2024 Fantasy football picks

The Fantasy football draft bible features 2024 Fantasy football busts, including:

Drake London , WR, Atlanta Falcons : The No. 8 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft is an unquestionable talent but his production hasn't quite met expectations over his first two seasons. He's only missed one game in his NFL career and he was targeted 110 times or more in his first two seasons, but he hasn't reached 1,000 yards in a year yet and he's only caught six touchdowns. This should be a better offense in 2024 but expectations might still be a little too high for London given what we've seen so far.

" Kirk Cousins is coming off a serious Achilles injury that may limit his output more than people expect, and if Michael Penix Jr . is pressed into duty, he may not be ready," White told SportsLine. "London is being drafted for his best-case scenario considering he was 44th in points per game last year, and he's going to need to meet those expectations of taking a big step forward himself in addition to getting to play with a better QB in order to justify his draft slot."

Saquon Barkley , RB, Philadelphia Eagles : Barkley spent his first six seasons with the Giants and expressed a desire to remain a "Giant for life." However, the two sides couldn't reach an agreement on a long-term contract extension, he was franchise tagged in 2023 and then ultimately allowed to test free agency this offseason. Now he'll play in a more talented Eagles offense but more mouths to feed in Philadelphia for anybody drafting Barkley expecting top-five running back production.

"There's a real chance he could siphon touchdowns to Jalen Hurts , who had 15 of the team's 22 rushing touchdowns last year. If Barkley only winds up with three to five rushing TDs, he's going to have to smash in yardage to finish top 10 at the position," White told SportsLine.
