Alright, let’s talk about the 2024 fantasy football rankings. This is something I’ve been digging into lately, and I’ve got some thoughts to share. So, I started by looking at the older players, those over 25.
I made a list, ordering them by their overall fantasy points. Here’s what I found: Saquon Barkley, who’s 27, was at the top. Then there’s Derrick Henry, he’s 30. Alvin Kamara is 29, Josh Jacobs is 26, Joe Mixon is 28, James Conner is also 29, and David Montgomery is 27.
While doing this, I stumbled upon a guy who’s been doing pretty well lately. He is the sleeper running back of the week: Tyrone Tracy Jr. This guy, Tracy, he’s been averaging 5.3 yards per carry on 30 attempts this season. Meanwhile, Singletary’s only been getting 3.9 yards on 56 attempts.
Then I moved on to checking out some projections. I looked at a couple of different versions, and it seemed like they were pretty reliable for predicting wide receiver (WR) performance year after year. But then there were others like FantasySharks, NFL, and RTSports, which didn’t do so hot. For tight end (TE) projections, NumberFire was the most accurate, especially in 2019 and 2022.
Digging Deeper
I spent a good chunk of time looking at live-updated rankings. It’s cool because you can spot those under-the-radar players who might just surprise everyone. I was trying to find sleepers and potential breakouts for the season.
- Sleeper: Someone who’s flying under the radar but is likely to outperform their average draft position (ADP).
- Bust: A player who’s highly rated but probably won’t live up to the hype.
I also focused on point-per-reception (PPR) rankings. I was particularly interested in quarterbacks and running backs.
Finally, I spent time studying the 2024 rankings to find value in upcoming drafts. It’s all about identifying those sleepers who can give you an edge.
So, that’s pretty much what I’ve been up to. It’s been a deep dive into the world of fantasy football, and I’m excited to see how it all plays out this season. Hope this was helpful, and I’d love to hear your thoughts on it!
