    When Adam Thielen made the move from the Vikings to the Panthers last offseason, he became almost a complete afterthought for many Fantasy football owners. However, Thielen actually managed to revive his career despite Carolina's struggles, catching 103 passes for 1,014 yards and four touchdowns. Thielen finished as the WR18 in CBS Sports PPR leagues, but he's still only been the 68th wide receiver off the board according to the latest 2024 Fantasy football ADP. Can Thielen exceed expectations again and who are the potential 2024 Fantasy football sleepers you should target in your upcoming drafts?

    Having a reliable set of live-updated 2024 Fantasy football rankings can help you identify players capable of outperforming their Fantasy football 2024 ADP. 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: Browns wide receiver Amari Cooper. Now entering his 10th NFL season, Cooper is a five-time Pro Bowler who caught 72 passes for 1,250 yards and five touchdowns last season. However, he's only been the 27th wide receiver off the board on average.

    Cooper has had seven 1,000-yard seasons in his career and is Deshaun Watson's clear No. 1 option in Cleveland. Cooper's air yards share (42.4%) ranked fourth among NFL wide receivers last season and his 29 deep targets ranked sixth. With another offseason to develop chemistry with Watson under his belt, the model is predicting a top-20 season out of the veteran.

    Another sleeper that SportsLine's Fantasy football rankings 2024 have identified: Saints quarterback Derek Carr. The veteran restructured his contract for the 2024 season to help save the team $23 million, giving them more room to work with. Carr completed 68.4% of his passes for 3,878 yards, 25 touchdowns and eight interceptions last season, capping off the campaign with 12 touchdowns over his final four games.

    He gained valuable experience playing alongside wide receivers Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed, and he has a new target in Cedrick Wilson Jr. Carr finished as a top-12 Fantasy quarterback on six occasions, so he provides tremendous upside even without adding any rushing yards. SportsLine's model ranks Carr ahead of quarterbacks like Caleb Williams, Baker Mayfield and Tua Tagovailoa, making him a Fantasy football sleeper.
