    The Baltimore Ravens added more weapons to an already explosive offense this offseason. The Ravens signed veteran running back Derrick Henry, who has rushed for 9,502 yards and 90 touchdowns in his career. In his final season with the Titans, Henry racked up 280 carries for 1,167 yards and 12 rushing touchdowns. Henry was the focal point in Tennessee's offense for the majority of his career, but now he's going to a Baltimore offense that features quarterback Lamar Jackson, the reigning NFL MVP. Will Henry be among the top running backs in the 2024 Fantasy football rankings, or should you target a player like Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs, who averaged 5.2 yards per carry in his rookie season? Which should you find higher in a 2024 Fantasy football draft guide?

    Top 2024 Fantasy football picks

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

    Zay Flowers, WR, Baltimore Ravens: Flowers will enter his second season in the NFL as the No. 1 receiver for the Ravens. As a rookie, Flowers averaged 12.8 PPR points per game, showcasing his ability to be productive for Fantasy owners. He scored at least 19.6 PPR points in four of his final five games of the regular season, including catching four of his five touchdowns over that span.

    "The Ravens don't have a receiver capable of threatening him for alpha targets, and the hope is that the presence of Derrick Henry will open things up in the passing game and lead to a breakout season for Flowers," White said.

    Jaylen Warren, RB, Pittsburgh Steelers: Warren was productive as a backup running back in 2023, finishing with over 1,000 total yards and four total touchdowns. He was also effective as a pass catcher out of the backfield, recording 61 receptions on 74 targets. Warren's value is higher in PPR, but he can still be a high-end flex in all leagues this year.

    "He's been more effective than Najee Harris as a runner and receiver, and I could see new OC Arthur Smith leaning on him heavily after the team lost Diontae Johnson this offseason," White told SportsLine. Get the full Fantasy football draft guide over at SportsLine .
