    Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray missed the first nine games last season after recovering from a torn ACL. But after his return, Murray finished as the QB12 on a points-per-game basis, including being the QB9 overall from Week 10 to Week 18. Murray, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, was the QB7 as a rookie and QB2 in his sophomore season before beginning to miss time with injuries, so how high should he be in the 2024 Fantasy football rankings? The Cardinals selected Marvin Harrison Jr. with the No. 4 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft after losing Marquise Brown to the Chiefs in free agency, potentially leaving both as 2024 Fantasy football sleepers to target.

    Can Murray and Harrison quickly form a strong connection and be strong options heading into 2024 Fantasy football draft prep? Before crafting your 2024 Fantasy football draft strategy, be sure to check out the 2024 Fantasy football rankings and cheat sheets from the proven computer model at SportsLine .

    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: Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp. He has battled injuries over the last two years, but when he's on the field, he's still one of the top performers. Kupp led the NFL in receptions (145), yards (1,947) and touchdowns (16) in 2021, the last year he played a full season. He only played nine games in 2022, but averaged 90.2 yards per game during those contests. Last year was a tough season for Kupp. He averaged 61.4 yards per game, his lowest since his rookie season, and scored five touchdowns over 12 games. However, the model doesn't expect that as Kupp's new norm.

    Puka Nacua took the NFL and Fantasy football by storm last season by setting the rookie record for receptions (105) and receiving yards (1,486) in a season. However, the fifth-round pick is no longer the feel-good story. Instead, he'll be the focal point of defensive coordinators' game plans every week, which would provide more opportunities for Kupp to find open space.

    Another sleeper that SportsLine's Fantasy football rankings 2024 have identified: Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams. He is being drafted in the seventh round according to the latest 2024 Fantasy football ADP, but he is well on his way to outperform wideouts being drafted in earlier rounds.

    Despite Las Vegas' quarterback issues last season, Adams still ended his 2023 campaign averaging 11.1 yards on 103 receptions for 1,144 yards with eight touchdowns. His production went up at the end of the season as he and rookie quarterback Aidan O'Connell created chemistry, and the duo have a strong rapport heading into training camp. Even if Gardner Minshew is the starter over O'Connell, Adams brings four straight seasons of 1,100-plus yards to the gridiron in 2024. See which other Fantasy football sleepers 2024 to pick here .
