Fantasy football 2024 rankings, draft prep: QB, WR, RB, TE picks, cheat sheets, ADP, tiers from NFL model

Being flexible in your 2024 Fantasy football strategy can be the difference between having successful 2024 Fantasy football picks or scrambling when the draft is over. Having a strong set of 2024 Fantasy football rankings can help you figure out where players belong in your 2024 Fantasy football tiers and spotting which stars will outperform their 2024 Fantasy football projections. Which positions should you attack early in Fantasy football 2024 drafts and with 66 different quarterbacks starting a game last season, should you consider selecting multiple quarterbacks throughout the 2024 Fantasy football QB rankings? If you're looking for 2024 Fantasy football advice, 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 and the latest Fantasy football tiers.

Now, SportsLine has simulated the entire NFL season 10,000 times and released its latest Fantasy football cheat sheets 2024 and draft advice, along with its top Fantasy QB, WR, RB and TE picks. Head to SportsLine now to see them .

Top 2024 Fantasy football QB rankings

Here's a look at SportsLine's top three 2024 Fantasy football QB picks:

1. Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills: Allen may have a track record of coming up short in the postseason, but from a fantasy football perspective, he is a championship-level quarterback. The 28-year-old has rare arm talent, and is one of the top running quarterbacks of his generation. Allen will be without Stefon Diggs this season, but his ability to beat defenses with his arm and legs, especially in the red zone, continue to make him an elite fantasy football quarterback.

2. Jalen Hurts, Philadelphia Eagles: Like Allen, Hurts is a dual-threat quarterback who can carry fantasy football teams to a championship. Hurts battled some injuries in 2023, but he still managed to play in all 17 regular season games, and produced massive fantasy numbers in the process. Hurts may have the best wide receiver duo in the league at his disposal (A.J. Brown and Devonta Smith), and his ability as a runner (15 rushing TDs in 2023) makes him one of the top fantasy football quarterbacks heading into the 2024 season.

3. Patrick Mahomes, Kansas City Chiefs: Mahomes is widely regarded as the best quarterback in the NFL today. He may not have the weapons that other quarterbacks have, but he still has an elite tight end (Travis Kelce) and a trio of young, explosive wide receivers in Marquise Brown, Rashee Rice, and Xavier Worthy. While he may not provide the same type of rushing production as Allen and Hurts, Mahomes is still a high-end fantasy football quarterback. See more top QBs here .

Top 2024 Fantasy football RB rankings

Here's a look at SportsLine's top three 2024 Fantasy football RB picks:

1. Christian McCaffrey, San Francisco 49ers: There's being the top guy and then there's completely dominating the position. McCaffrey was clearly the latter last season as he was the No. 1 scoring running back in Fantasy football by more than 100 points in PPR leagues in CBS scoring last season. The 28-year-old should still receive a huge usage in one of the top offenses in the NFL and is undoubtedly the top running back in Fantasy football this season.

2. Breece Hall, New York Jets: Hall was the No. 2 scoring running back in Fantasy football on CBS last season and that was in an offense with four different players starting at least one game at quarterback and was often a total disaster. Aaron Rodgers only played four snaps last season before suffering a season-ending Achilles injury, but with the future Hall-of-Fame quarterback back and healthy, expect a huge lift to the New York offense. Hall will have a huge workload this year in what could be one of the best offenses in the NFL if Rodgers remains healthy.

3. Saquon Barkley, Philadelphia Eagles: The 27-year-old has rushed for more than 1,300 yards in two of his first six NFL seasons and that was in offenses that had mostly subpar weapons around him. Barkley joins an Eagles offense quarterbacked by Jalen Hurts with A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith at receiver to help move the ball downfield. The Eagles ranked eighth in the NFL in rushing yards per game (128.8) last year and Barkley is a significant talent upgrade over last year's backfield. See more top RBs here .

Top 2024 Fantasy football WR rankings

Here's a look at SportsLine's top three 2024 Fantasy football WR picks:

1. CeeDee Lamb, Dallas Cowboys: Lamb sits atop the wide receiver rankings after finishing as the WR1 in Fantasy points per game last season. He crossed the 100-yard mark in seven of his final 12 games, including a 227-yard outing in Week 17. Lamb is playing in an offense that does not look much different than last year, so he has earned his spot as the top Fantasy option.

2. Tyreek Hill, Miami Dolphins: While he did not lead all wide receivers in Fantasy points, Hill is coming off one of the most impressive seasons of his career. He posted career highs in targets (171), receiving yards (1,799) and Fantasy points per game. Hill has proven himself as one of the league's best wide receivers, and he slots into the No. 2 spot in the rankings.

3. Amon-Ra St. Brown, Detroit Lions: St. Brown narrowly missed out on a top-three Fantasy finish among wide receivers last year, coming in as the WR4 while ranking top-five in receiving yards (1,515) and red-zone targets. He caught 119 passes for 1,515 yards and 10 touchdowns, averaging nearly 100 receiving yards per game. St. Brown has shown continual improvement during his first three NFL seasons, and there is no reason why he cannot challenge Lamb and Hill atop the rankings. See more top WRs here .

Top 2024 Fantasy football TE rankings

Here's a look at SportsLine's top three 2024 Fantasy football TE picks:

1. Travis Kelce, Kansas City Chiefs: The nine-time Pro Bowler suffered a preseason injury and then was banged-up again in Week 4, and those ailments limited his season-long production. However, including the postseason, Kelce had 114 catches and 1,244 yards over his last 17 games of 2023, on par with his career season average. Don't have any bad blood.

2. Mark Andrews, Baltimore Ravens: Andrews was on pace for a career-high in touchdowns in 2023, to go along with both his second-most receptions and second-most yards, before a knee injury derailed his season. Despite playing in just nine full games, Andrews still tied for the team lead with seven targets inside the 10-yard-line, showing just how much Lamar Jackson likes throwing to him when it matters the most.

3. Sam LaPorta, Detroit Lions: A second-round pick last year, LaPorta broke the NFL record for receptions by a rookie tight end (86) and also tied for the most TDs by a rookie tight end in the Super Bowl era (10). With Lions' starting WR Josh Reynolds having left in free agency, LaPorta will be an even bigger part of Detroit's offense in 2024. See more top TEs here .
