Proven 2024 Fantasy football rankings can help you determine where to draft every player. 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.

Top 2024 Fantasy football QB rankings
Here's a look at SportsLine's top three 2024 Fantasy football QB picks:
1. Jalen Hurts, Philadelphia Eagles: Hurts saw his Fantasy scoring average drop from 25.6 to 21.9 points per game last year, but he still finished QB2 in total scoring. He continues to provide massive rushing value, racking up 15 rushing touchdowns last year. There is room for improvement with his passing efficiency, making him the top quarterback in the rankings.
2. Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills: In 2023, Allen finished as the QB1 for the second consecutive season, averaging 23.1 Fantasy points per game. He threw for more than 4,300 yards and 29 touchdowns, while rushing for a career-high 15 scores. The Bills lost Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis in the offseason, but Allen is still one of the top Fantasy quarterbacks heading into the 2024 season.
3. Patrick Mahomes, Kansas City Chiefs: The two-time MVP had the worst year of his starting career, averaging less than 20.5 Fantasy points for the first time in his career. He still finished with 4,183 passing yards and 27 touchdowns though, and the Chiefs improved his supporting cast by adding wide receivers Marquise Brown and Xavier Worthy. Veteran tight end Travis Kelce is healthy now as well, so Mahomes should post improved Fantasy numbers this season.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: The former Stanford standout led the league with 1,459 rushing yards in 2023, totaling 14 touchdowns with an additional 67 catches for 564 yards and seven touchdowns in the air. There are some concerns about wear and tear with McCaffrey, but after a full season with little to no injury issues he is expected to have another monster year for Fantasy owners.
2. Breece Hall, New York Jets: An ACL injury cut Hall's rookie season short in 2022, but his production skyrocketed during a healthy 2023 campaign. He is averaging 4.8 yards per carry on 303 rush attempts over two seasons, and he is expected to have a bigger workload in 2024.
3. Saquon Barkley, Philadelphia Eagle: The biggest question with Barkley is whether he can avoid injury, because he is one of the best backs in the league when he is healthy. Barkley totaled 5,211 rushing yards and 35 touchdowns over six seasons with the New York Giants, and he is expected to be very productive as he joins a more potent Philadelphia offense.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 put together one of the most dominant Fantasy football seasons for a wide receiver in NFL history last year. His 135 receptions were the third most in the NFL over the last eight seasons and he finished with 16 more receptions than anyone else in the league last season. His 1,749 receiving yards were second in the NFL and he added 12 touchdowns as the WR1 in Fantasy football. Dallas has a nearly identical playmaking group back from last year, so expect a huge usage from Lamb yet again as the model's top WR for 2024 Fantasy football drafts.
2. Tyreek Hill, Miami Dolphins: Hill certainly isn't one to hold back on his high self-praise, but given his production on the field, he has no reason to be modest. Hill led the NFL with 1,799 receiving yards last season, becoming the first player to record at least 1,700 receiving yards in back-to-back seasons. Even at 30 years old, Hill still has elite speed and Mike McDaniel will scheme plenty of ways to target him yet again.
3. Amon-Ra St. Brown, Detroit Lions: St. Brown is as vital to the Detroit passing game as any receiver is for his team in the NFL. He had at least 100 yards in nine of 16 games during the regular season, which was the most in the league. That consistency makes him a top target in 2024 Fantasy football drafts as there won't be a week where he isn't a highly targeted option. St.Brown finished tied for second in receptions (119) and third in receiving yards (1,515) last season.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: A complete no-brainer as the top Fantasy tight end in recent years, Kelce's status is a bit more up in the air this season after recording 984 yards and five touchdowns last season. After seven straight 1,000-yard seasons, however, SportsLine's model isn't writing him off. He remains TE1 thanks in large part to the ample scoring opportunities he'll get in a Kansas City passing attack that lacks a clear No. 1 WR.
2. Mark Andrews, Baltimore Ravens: A cracked fibula ended Andrews' 2023 campaign, but he was pacing for another solid season. A repeat of his monster 107-1361-9 season in 2021 might be a stretch, but his recent production, when healthy, suggests he could push for 1,000 yards and eight or nine touchdowns if he stays on the field.
3. Sam LaPorta, Detroit Lions: A Fantasy football breakout in 2023, LaPorta exploded for 86 catches, 889 yards and 10 touchdowns as a rookie. Jared Goff clearly found a high level of comfort with the Iowa product, and there's no reason to expect significant regression in 2024.See more top TEs here.
