Cardinals rookie wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. is one of the top 2024 Fantasy football picks, even though he has never played in the NFL. He racked up back-to-back seasons with at least 1,200 receiving yards at Ohio State and is among the top potential 2024 Fantasy football breakouts. Harrison is expected to be heavily involved in Arizona’s offensive game plan and could be the No. 1 receiving option with Kyler Murray under center. Should your 2024 Fantasy football draft strategy include drafting one of the 2024 Fantasy football rookies like Harrison Jr. early on draft day?

Last year, the model accurately predicted that Buccaneers running back Rachaad White was being dramatically undervalued. White was coming off the board in the seventh round on average in 12-team PPR leagues, but he emerged as Tampa Bay’s workhorse ball carrier and provided significantly more value than expected, finishing No. 4 at his position. White rushed for 990 yards and six touchdowns while adding 64 catches for 549 yards and three more scores as a receiver. Anybody who followed the model’s advice scored an every week starting running back in the middle rounds.
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.
Now, SportsLine has simulated the entire NFL season 10,000 times and released its latest 2024 Fantasy football rankings, 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: Browns wide receiver Amari Cooper. He is coming off a down season in terms of touchdown production. He finished 2023 with just five touchdown receptions, but hauled in 72 catches for 1,250 yards, the most receiving yards in a single season in his career.
Cooper put up those numbers despite playing with four different quarterbacks: Deshaun Watson, Joe Flacco, Dorian Thompson-Robinson and P.J. Walker. He racked up 128 targets in 15 games for the Browns a season ago and will be the clear No. 1 receiver in Cleveland again in 2024. The Browns also added speedster Jerry Jeudy this offseason, which could create more one-on-one opportunities for Cooper. SportsLine’s model ranks Cooper, who is being drafted in the sixth round on average, ahead of receivers like Deebo Samuel, Mike Evans and DK Metcalf, all of whom are being drafted ahead of him.

Top 2024 Fantasy football breakouts
One of the 2024 Fantasy football breakouts the model is predicting: Rams running back Blake Corum. After being an All-American at Michigan and leading all of FBS with 28 touchdowns last year, Corum was the third RB taken in the 2024 NFL Draft. He’s now with a Rams team with a head coach known for souring on running backs quick, fast and in a hurry. Thus, even though Kyren Williams ranked fourth amongst RBs in Fantasy points last year, Corum will get his opportunities to showcase his talents.
Sean McVay said there were “a lot of similarities” between Corum and Williams, thus indicating that they could possibly be used interchangeably. Williams has already had two IR trips in his two NFL seasons, missing 11 games due to injury, while Corum is durable, played in all 15 games with Michigan last year and led the Big Ten in carries. Corum may be second on the depth chart at the moment, but he’ll get his chance at some point and is a Fantasy football 2024 breakout to keep in mind when drafting.

Top 2024 Fantasy football busts
As for players to avoid, the model lists Lions running back David Montgomery as one of its 2024 Fantasy football busts. Montgomery had a sensational season in his first year in Detroit, rushing for 1,015 yards and 13 touchdowns. However, he could see a significant decrease in usage following the breakout season that Jahmyr Gibbs showcased in 2023.
In May, Lions general manager Brad Holmes said Gibbs should “see more of the load” this season, which doesn’t bode well for Montgomery’s Fantasy value. Montgomery will still get chances to score in the red zone, but Gibbs is expected to get the majority of the work in the passing game, which further dampens Montgomery’s Fantasy football outlook. That’s a big reason why the model ranks him as RB25 in its 2024 Fantasy football RB rankings, behind backs like Aaron Jones and D’Andre Swift, who are both being drafted later.
