With the 2024 NFL Hall of Fame Game only one week away, it's time for managers to start preparing their 2024 fantasy football draft strategy. Several prominent fantasy football players changed teams during the offseason, with perennial Pro Bowl candidates like Kirk Cousins, Saquon Barkley, Keenan Allen, and Austin Ekeler all playing in different uniforms in 2024. How well each player adjusts to their new surroundings will have a significant impact on their spot in the 2024 fantasy football rankings. Should you target Cousins, Barkley, Allen, or Ekeler in your 2024 fantasy football picks?

If you're looking for 2024 Fantasy football advice, be sure to check out the 2023 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 finished QB1 or QB2 four times since 2019, throwing for more than 4,000 yards in each of his last four seasons. He has averaged 4,385 passing yards and 34.3 touchdown passes over that stretch, and he continues to add value as a runner. Allen's track record is as impressive as they come at the quarterback position, earning his spot atop the quarterback rankings.
2. Jalen Hurts, Philadelphia Eagles: Hurts was the QB2 in Fantasy scoring last season, even though his scoring average dropped compared to 2022. He provided huge rushing numbers, finishing with 605 rushing yards and 15 rushing touchdowns, which were the most ever for a quarterback in a single season. Hurts has room for improvement with his passing numbers, giving him a high Fantasy ceiling again this year.
3. Patrick Mahomes, Kansas City Chiefs: Mahomes averaged just 261.4 passing yards per game last season, which were his fewest in six years as Kansas City's starter. He also had his fewest yards per attempt and lowest touchdown rate, but the Chiefs signed wide receiver Marquise Brown and used a first-round pick on wideout Xavier Worthy. Mahomes has posted a pair of 5,000-yard passing seasons and should be in line for a bounce-back Fantasy campaign.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: McCaffrey's Fantasy value has only ever been diminished by injury and he's been healthy the last two seasons after missing 23 games in 2020 and 2021 combined. He's critical to Kyle Shanahan's offense and his productivity within the offense has risen over time, which is why he's the clear RB1 and likely the first pick in your upcoming drafts.
2. Breece Hall, New York Jets: Hall produced 681 scrimmage yards and five touchdowns over his first seven games as a rookie before his season was ended by an ACL tear. However, he was back in the lineup to begin the 2023 season and finished with 1,585 scrimmage yards and nine touchdowns.
3. Saquon Barkley, Philadelphia Eagles: In six years with the Giants, Barkley was always the focal point of defensive gameplans. Now he'll have a chance to play in an offense loaded with weapons at the skill positions and he'll share a backfield with Jalen Hurts, one of the best running quarterbacks in the NFL. That may mean fewer opportunities but the model is counting on Barkley getting a better premium out of his touches and ranks him as RB3 for 2024.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 finished the 2023 season with 135 receptions for 1,749 yards and 12 touchdowns, which made him the only non-quarterback to score over 400 fantasy points in CBS Sports PPR leagues. Lamb's rapport with Dallas quarterback is undeniable, and offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer showed a true commitment to getting the ball in the hands of the former Oklahoma standout's hands in his first season on the job.
2. Tyreek Hill, Miami Dolphins: When the Dolphins traded for Hill, many fantasy football experts expected a dip in production for the speedy veteran. That proved to not be the case as the 30-year-old has gone over 1,700 receiving yards in both of his seasons in Miami. Hill, who may be the fastest player in the NFL, is a threat to go the distance every time he touches the ball.
3. Amon-Ra St. Brown, Detroit Lions: St. Brown has been proving people wrong since the day he entered the NFL as a fourth-round pick out of USC. In three seasons, St. Brown has totaled 315 receptions for 3,588 yards and 21 touchdowns. He had the best season of his career in 2023, catching 119 passes for 1,515 yards and 10 touchdowns. With Sam LaPorta keeping defenses honest, St. Brown should see plenty of single coverage in 2024.See more top WRs here.
Top 2023 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.
