Fantasy football draft prep is upon us and managers everywhere are scrambling to put together their 2024 Fantasy football rankings before they go on the clock. After missing nearly two full seasons, Calvin Ridley returned to action with the Jaguars last season. He caught 76 passes for 1,016 yards and eight touchdowns despite the lengthy layoff and earned a four-year, $92 million contract to join the Titans this offseason. Where should you target Ridley in your upcoming drafts and who are some of the 2024 Fantasy football sleepers who can outperform their 2024 Fantasy football ADP like Ridley did in 2023?
A reliable set of live-updated Fantasy football rankings 2024 can help you adjust to all the latest NFL news no matter when you go on the clock. 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: Panthers wide receiver Diontae Johnson. After making the Pro Bowl in 2021 (Ben Roethlisberger’s last season), Johnson’s numbers suffered while playing with Kenny Pickett, Mitchell Trubisky and Mason Rudolph in 2022 and 2023. He caught 137 passes for 1,599 yards and five touchdowns in 30 games combined over those two seasons despite being targeted 234 times.
Now, Johnson joins a Panthers offense that ranked 31st in scoring and 32nd in total offense last year, but there’s room for optimism with Buccaneers offensive coordinator Dave Canales taking over as the head coach in Carolina and Bryce Young potentially taking a step forward in his second season. Those are both big reasons why the model ranks Johnson as a top-40 wide receiver, ahead of receivers like Christian Watson and Malik Nabers, who are being drafted ahead of him.
Another sleeper that SportsLine’s Fantasy football rankings 2024 have identified: Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin. Godwin took time to round into form as he made his return from ACL surgery, but he found his stride at the end of last season. In fact, he recorded a WR11 and WR13 finish overall in two of his last four games.
Godwin managed to score just two touchdowns last season, but he still finished the year with 83 receptions for 1,024 yards. He has now eclipsed 1,000 receiving yards in four of his past five seasons in Tampa Bay and it’s possible the Buccaneers’ passing game could take a real step forward in 2024 with quarterback Baker Mayfield more comfortable in Year 2. That’s a big reason why the model ranks Godwin ahead of fellow wideouts like Terry McLaurin, Marquise Brown and Jayden Reed, all of whom are being drafted ahead of him.
