Fantasy football draft cheat sheet: Top players for 2024, ranked by position

By Steve Gardner, USA TODAY,

15 hours ago

Fantasy football draft day is rapidly approaching. Whether you're in a snake draft or a salary cap (or auction) format, having a cheat sheet with all players listed by position is an essential part of your draft prep.

Here's how the players stack up for the 2024 season in a point-per-reception scoring format, according to TheHuddle.com . Auction values (AV) are based on 12 teams and a $200 cap.

Tip: Check out the auction values column to see how players at each position can be separated into tiers. Players with similar dollar values are often interchangeable in drafts, so be aware of where each tier ends and the next one begins.
