Over the last six years, three quarterbacks have topped the season-ending Fantasy football QB rankings. Patrick Mahomes did it in both of his MVP years, while Lamar Jackson did it in one of his MVP seasons. Meanwhile, Josh Allen has led in positional Fantasy points the other three years despite no MVP awards to his name. In what order will the trio fall in the 2024 Fantasy football QB rankings, and which other quarterbacks can challenge them for the top spot?
Jalen Hurts has finished in the top three in Fantasy points the last two years, while Dak Prescott surged into the top three last year. Then there's Aaron Rodgers, who has topped the position four times in his career. Which veteran signal-caller should you target at the top of your 2024 Fantasy football rankings and where do 2024 Fantasy football rookies like Caleb Williams and Jayden Daniels fall in the 2024 Fantasy football tiers? 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.
Now, SportsLine has simulated the entire NFL season 10,000 times and released its latest Fantasy football cheat sheets 2024 and draft advice, along with its top Fantasy QB, WR, RB and TE picks.Head to SportsLine now to see them.
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: Over the last four seasons, Allen has averaged 4,385 yards and 34 touchdowns through the air while adding roughly 618 rushing yards and nine touchdowns on the ground. He's been QB1, QB1, QB2 and QB1 during that span and that reliability is what you're banking on if you're investing an early pick at quarterback.
2. Jalen Hurts, Philadelphia Eagles: Hurts set new career-highs in passing yards (3,858) and passing touchdowns (23) last season and also rushed for 605 yards and 15 scores. He's had 38 rushing touchdowns the last three years and with his passing numbers on the rise, he's got enormous upside in 2024.
3. Lamar Jackson, Baltimore Ravens: Jackson won his second NFL MVP last year after throwing for 3,678 yards and 24 touchdowns with only seven interceptions. He also rushed for 821 yards and five touchdowns, and continues to be one of the most dynamic runners in the NFL. He doesn't offer the goal-line impact of Allen or Hurts but he's still a rock-solid option as QB3.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: In his first full year in San Fran, McCaffrey led the NFL in rushing yards, scrimmage yards and total touchdowns. He also set career-highs in yards per carry and in receiving touchdowns. His multiple avenues to rack up Fantasy points make him the clear-cut top Fantasy football running back.
2. Saquon Barkley, Philadelphia Eagles: Barkley was essentially the Giants offense last season as he racked up 1,242 scrimmage yards and 10 touchdowns. He got little help from New York's O-line as his 1.9 yards before contact per carry ranked 36th in the NFL. The RB Barkley is replacing in Philly, D'Andre Swift, ranked eighth in YBC/carry at 2.8, so Barkley is getting a sizable upgrade in terms of offensive lines.
3. Breece Hall, New York Jets: For his career, Hall has averaged 94.4 scrimmage yards per game despite playing with arguably the NFL's worst group of quarterbacks. That should change with an upright Aaron Rodgers, and Hall won't have to cede touches to an aging Dalvin Cook like he had to through the first half of last season.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 technically on the commissioner's exempt list after his holdout, but that was semantic to allow Dallas temporary roster flexibility. Now that he's signed a new contract, he'll be in the Cowboys' lineup in Week 1 coming off a dominant season where he had 135 catches for 1,749 yards and 12 touchdowns.
2. Tyreek Hill, Miami Dolphins: Lamb led the NFL in receptions but Hill led the league in receiving yards (1,799) and receiving touchdowns (13). He's caught at least 119 passes in each of his two seasons in Miami and also topped 1,700 yards in both seasons. Could he be a threat for 2,000 in 2024?
3. Amon-Ra St. Brown, Detroit Lions: A fourth-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, St. Brown has already established himself as one of the NFL's most consistent receivers. He had a seven-game stretch where he had six 100-yard receiving outings early in 2023 and then had at least six catches for 90 yards and a score in each of the last four weeks of the season. Then he added 22 catches for 274 yards and a touchdown in three postseason games.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 media seemed pretty concerned that his relationship with Taylor Swift would be a distraction but it was an early-season ankle injury that served as a bigger sap on his production. However, he still caught 93 passes for 984 yards and five touchdowns in 15 games and then we saw vintage Kelce during the 2024 NFL Playoffs. He's 34 now but he's still the top option at tight end.
2. Sam LaPorta, Detroit Lions: A second-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, LaPorta took the league by storm with 86 catches for 889 yards and 10 touchdowns as a rookie. His 16 red-zone targets ranked fourth among NFL tight ends and even if you're expecting some touchdown regression, LaPorta has clearly established himself near the top of the heap at a thin position.
3. Mark Andrews, Baltimore Ravens: Andrews missed seven games in 2023 with a cracked fibula. However, when he was on the field, he still ranked fourth among NFL tight ends in target share (22.2%) and that number cranked up to 37.8% in the red zone. He's healthy entering this season and he should be a touchdown machine in a good Baltimore offense.See more top TEs here.
