Crushing every single position during your upcoming 2024 Fantasy football draft prep is a tall task, but with the right 2024 Fantasy football draft guide, you can unearth potential across the board and make a deep run in your leagues. Your 2024 fantasy football strategy surrounding quarterbacks can be pretty wide-ranging. Some Fantasy football 2024 players will wait until the middle to late rounds to find upside in one of the 2024 Fantasy football tiers. In contrast, others sacrifice depth at positions like wide receiver and running back to grab an upper-echelon player in the 2024 Fantasy football QB rankings like Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson or Josh Allen.
Regardless of which strategy you employ, it's critical that you get those picks right and that you're building depth at every position. A reliable set of 2024 Fantasy football rankings for each position can help ensure that you're getting maximum value out of every pick. 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, identifyingA.J. Brownas a sleeper in 2020 and nailingJonathan Taylor'smonstrous season in 2021. Additionally, it's called past Fantasy football sleepers likeDerrick Henryin 2019,Christian McCaffreyandAlvin Kamarain 2018, andDavante Adamsin 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. Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills: Allen has never led the NFL in passing yards, passing TDs or been a first-team All-Pro. However, what he has done is lead the NFL in Fantasy points in three out of the last four years, finishing second in the other year. That consistency is what makes him the top Fantasy quarterback as the Bills will expect even more out of him this year after losing their top two receivers from 2023.
2. Jalen Hurts, Philadelphia Eagles: For all of the talk of Hurts regressing last year, he posted career-highs in passing yards (3,858), passing TDs (23) and rushing TDs (15). His dual-threat ability gives him a high Fantasy floor each week, and the addition of Saquon Barkley to Philadelphia's backfield should take some pressure off Hurts and allow for more efficiency than a year ago.
3. Patrick Mahomes, Kansas City Chiefs: The three-time Super Bowl champion has posted the most positional Fantasy points both with Tyreek Hill (2018) and without him (2022). Mahomes' production dipped last year -- as did the play of his wideouts -- but Kansas City bolstered that position by adding Marquise Brown and Xavier Worthy. That raises Mahomes' Fantasy ceiling, and he has an extra incentive to have a great year as the Chiefs pursue the AFC's No. 1 seed with hopes of the NFL's first Super Bowl three-peat.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: There's being the top guy and then there's completely dominating the position. McCaffrey was clearly the latter last season as he was the No. 1 scoring running back in Fantasy football by more than 100 points in PPR leagues in CBS scoring last season. The 28-year-old should still receive a huge usage in one of the top offenses in the NFL and is undoubtedly the top running back in Fantasy football this season.
2. Breece Hall, New York Jets: Hall was the No. 2 scoring running back in Fantasy football on CBS last season and that was in an offense with four different players starting at least one game at quarterback and was often a total disaster. Aaron Rodgers only played four snaps last season before suffering a season-ending Achilles injury, but with the future Hall-of-Fame quarterback back and healthy, expect a huge lift to the New York offense. Hall will have a huge workload this year in what could be one of the best offenses in the NFL if Rodgers remains healthy.
3. Saquon Barkley, Philadelphia Eagles: The 27-year-old has rushed for more than 1,300 yards in two of his first six NFL seasons and that was in offenses that had mostly subpar weapons around him. Barkley joins an Eagles offense quarterbacked by Jalen Hurts with A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith at receiver to help move the ball downfield. The Eagles ranked eighth in the NFL in rushing yards per game (128.8) last year and Barkley is a significant talent upgrade over last year's backfield.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 is coming off his best season as a professional. The fourth-year wideout finished the regular season with a 135-1,749-12 line on 181 targets while adding 113 rushing yards and two more touchdowns on 14 carries last season. From Week 8 on, Lamb averaged 12.6 targets per game in 2023, a big reason why SportsLine's model has him ranked as the No. 1 wideout heading into 2024.
2. Tyreek Hill, Miami Dolphins: If there were any questions about how much of an impact Patrick Mahomes had on Hill's production, they've been answered emphatically over his first two seasons in Miami. Hill has topped the 1,700-yard mark in back-to-back seasons and finished with 119 catches for 1,799 yards and 13 scores in 2023.
3. Amon-Ra St. Brown, Detroit Lions: In 2023, St. Brown averaged a career-high 20.7 PPR points per game, and he's scored at least 16.7 PPR points per game in each of the past two seasons. St. Brown has shown continual improvement during his first three NFL seasons, and there is no reason why he cannot challenge Lamb and Hill atop the 2024 Fantasy football rankings.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: The nine-time Pro Bowler suffered a preseason injury and then was banged-up again in Week 4, and those ailments limited his season-long production. However, including the postseason, Kelce had 114 catches and 1,244 yards over his last 17 games of 2023, on par with his career season average. Don't have any bad blood.
2. Mark Andrews, Baltimore Ravens: Andrews was on pace for a career-high in touchdowns in 2023, to go along with both his second-most receptions and second-most yards, before a knee injury derailed his season. Despite playing in just nine full games, Andrews still tied for the team lead with seven targets inside the 10-yard-line, showing just how much Lamar Jackson likes throwing to him when it matters the most.
3. Sam LaPorta, Detroit Lions: A second-round pick last year, LaPorta broke the NFL record for receptions by a rookie tight end (86) and also tied for the most TDs by a rookie tight end in the Super Bowl era (10). With Lions' starting WR Josh Reynolds having left in free agency, LaPorta will be an even bigger part of Detroit's offense in 2024.See more top TEs here.
