NFL training camps are open, which means 2024 fantasy football draft prep is here. Several NFL rosters will look noticeably different this season with multiple Pro Bowl players signing with new teams during the offseason. Some of the biggest names that will be in new uniforms when Fantasy football 2024 kicks off include Kirk Cousins (Falcons), Saquon Barkley (Eagles), Josh Jacobs (Packers), and Derrick Henry (Ravens). All four players have become regulars atop the fantasy football RB rankings, but their 2024 fantasy football projections will change.
Should Cousins, Barkley, Jacobs, or Henry be high up in the 2024 fantasy football rankings? Could any of them be one of the potential 2024 fantasy football sleepers? Before crafting your 2024 Fantasy football draft strategy, be sure to check out the 2024 Fantasy football rankings and cheat sheets from the proven computer model at SportsLine.
Last year, the model accurately predicted that Jets running back Breece Hall would significantly outperform his sixth-round Fantasy football ADP in 10-team PPR leagues. The result: Hall rushed 223 times for 994 yards and five scores and was also a dynamic receiver out of the backfield, catching 76 passes for 591 yards and four more scores. He'd wind up finishing as the No. 2 running back in CBS Sports PPR leagues behind only Christian McCaffrey.
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 rankings update multiple times daily, so you're always getting the best Fantasy football advice.

Top 2024 Fantasy football sleepers
One of the 2024 Fantasy football sleepers the model is predicting: Chiefs wide receiver Marquise "Hollywood" Brown. The former Oklahoma standout entered the NFL as a first-round pick in 2019, but has yet to have a true breakout season. He battled injuries and inconsistent play during his two seasons with the Arizona Cardinals (2022-23), but went over the 1,000-yard mark as a member of the Baltimore Ravens in 2021. He is playing for the Chiefs on a one-year contract, so motivation will be high for the 27-year-old wide receiver this season.
Brown is diminutive in size, but is explosive with the ball in his hands and is one of the better route-runners in the NFL. He now finds himself in one of the best situations in the league for a wide receiver with his skillset. Andy Reid is an offensive mastermind and Patrick Mahomes is widely considered to be the best quarterback in the NFL. Brown will have the opportunity to establish himself as the No. 1 wide receiver in arguably the most explosive offense in the league in 2024.
Another sleeper that SportsLine's Fantasy football rankings 2024 have identified: Saints quarterback Derek Carr. The veteran restructured his contract for the 2024 season to help save the team $23 million, giving them more room to work with. Carr completed 68.4% of his passes for 3,878 yards, 25 touchdowns and eight interceptions last season, capping off the campaign with 12 touchdowns over his final four games.
He gained valuable experience playing alongside wide receivers Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed, and he has a new target in Cedrick Wilson Jr. Carr finished as a top-12 Fantasy quarterback on six occasions, so he provides tremendous upside even without adding any rushing yards. SportsLine's model ranks Carr ahead of quarterbacks like Caleb Williams, Baker Mayfield and Tua Tagovailoa, making him a Fantasy football sleeper.See which other Fantasy football sleepers 2024 to pick here.
