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

With the bulk of the NFL offseason now in the books, it's time for managers to start preparing their 2024 fantasy football draft boards and getting their hands on 2024 Fantasy football cheat sheets. Six quarterbacks were taken in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft, and while most of them will start this season, history has proven that few will finish near the top of the 2024 fantasy football QB rankings. No. 1 overall pick Caleb Williams of the Chicago Bears and No. 2 overall pick Jayden Daniels of the Washington Commanders won a Heisman Trophy in college and are are expected to be Week 1 starters.

Where should Williams and Daniels be in your 2024 fantasy football rankings? Should you go the veteran route and target someone like Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow, or Lamar Jackson? Before setting 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 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.

Now, SportsLine has simulated the entire NFL season 10,000 times and released its latest 2024 Fantasy football rankings, 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: Browns running back Nick Chubb. The four-time Pro Bowler suffered a season-ending knee injury in Week 2 last season, and his absence significantly bumped him down the 2024 Fantasy football RB rankings. However, he is reportedly ahead of schedule in his rehab, so managers could expect him on the field as early as Week 1.

Chubb had 28 carries for 170 yards through the two games he played in last season. That brings his career average to 5.3 yards per attempt on 1,238 rushes and 48 touchdowns. If Chubb remains on track to enter the season healthy, he can boost Cleveland's stout rush offense and add plenty of fantasy value. See more Fantasy football sleepers 2024 here .

Top 2024 Fantasy football breakouts

One of the 2024 Fantasy football breakouts the model is predicting: Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. His father had 1,102 catches for 14,580 yards and 128 touchdowns during a Hall of Fame career and now Harrison will embark on what the Cardinals hope will be a similar path. He's got better size than his father at 6-foot-3 and 209 pounds and he has exceptional body control despite that frame.

Over his final two seasons at Ohio State, Harrison caught 144 passes for 2,474 yards and 28 touchdowns while adding a rushing touchdown. With Kyler Murray finally healthy again and Harrison coming on board as Arizona's new No. 1 receiver, there's potential for a prolific passing game and the model ranks Harrison as a top-10 Fantasy football wide receiver in his rookie season.

Top 2024 Fantasy football busts

As for players to avoid, the model lists Bears receiver Keenan Allen as one of its 2024 Fantasy football busts. Allen spent the first 11 seasons of his career with the Chargers and was acquired by the Bears in an offseason trade. The former Cal standout entered the NFL as a second round pick, and has gone on to post six 1,000-yard seasons. During his stint with the Chargers, Allen compiled a resume that will have him in the Hall of Fame discussion when he hangs up his cleats.

Chicago traded for Allen with the intention of surrounding rookie quarterback Caleb Williams with as many weapons as possible. While he was one of the most productive wide receivers in the NFL during his tenure with the Chargers, the model is calling for him to fall short of expectations in 2024. The 32-year-old wide receiver has a current ADP of 80 in standard PPR leagues, and is being picked ahead of guys like Stefon Diggs, Chris Godwin, and Davante Adams. There will undoubtedly be some growing pains for Williams as a rookie, and Allen will be competing for targets with DJ Moore, Rome Odunze, and Cole Kmet. See more Fantasy football busts 2024 here
