2024 Fantasy football draft prep: Rankings, rookies, advice, strategy, top 150 players by trusted NFL experts

Saints wide receiver Rashid Shaheed had five touchdown receptions of at least 20 yards last season, and that explosiveness could make him a popular addition to 2024 Fantasy football lineups. New Orleans released wide receiver Michael Thomas in the offseason, leaving Chris Olave and A.T. Perry as Shaheed’s primary competition for targets. Shaheed could see triple-digit targets and more than 1,000 receiving yards this season under new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak, but where should he land in the 2024 Fantasy football rankings? There are also plenty of 2024 Fantasy football rookies looking to make an immediate impact as 2024 Fantasy football breakouts. The Chiefs used their first-round pick on Xavier Worthy, who has elite speed and gives quarterback Patrick Mahomes another deep target.

Top 2024 Fantasy football picks

The Fantasy football draft bible features 2024 Fantasy football breakouts, including:

Jaylen Warren, RB, Pittsburgh Steelers: The 25-year-old is one of the most explosive running backs in the league, finishing first in missed tackles forced per attempt last season. He outperformed teammate Najee Harris in almost every metric, giving him a path to earn more playing time in 2024. Warren was an RB2 or better in weekly scoring in 50% of his games last season, and White is high on his chances of being even better this year.

“The best path to finishing top 13 at running back would be dominating touches over Najee Harris, and the best hope of that happening could be a trade where Harris lands with a team like the Cowboys, improving the stock of both players by a fair margin,” White told SportsLine. “But even if Harris stays in Pittsburgh I don’t think a top-12 season is out of the question for Warren.”

Garrett Wilson, WR, New York Jets: Wilson caught 95 passes for 1,042 yards last season, but his Fantasy ceiling was handcuffed by just three touchdowns. He commanded a 30% target share and a league-best 46% air yards share, showcasing his potential. The Jets have a much better quarterback situation this year, so Wilson is due for a full breakout season.

“Wilson is already a fringe first-rounder despite averaging only about 12.2 PPR points in each of his first two seasons, as the thought is that he’ll be in the top tier once he gets quality quarterback play,” White said. “Maybe that comes from Aaron Rodgers, or maybe Tyrod Taylor can do the job if Rodgers can’t stay healthy, but either should be an improvement on what Wilson dealt with last year.” Get the full Fantasy football draft guide over at SportsLine.
