The results: 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 scores. He ultimately finished as the second-leading running back in CBS Sports PPR leagues behind Christian McCaffrey.
The same model has a proven track record of providing fantasy football tips, identifying AJ Brown as a sleeper in 2020 and accurately predicting Jonathan Taylor's phenomenal season in 2021. Additionally, they have predicted past fantasy football sleepers such as Derrick Henry in 2019, Christian McCaffrey and Alvin Kamara in 2018, and Davante Adams in 2017.

Top Sleepers for Fantasy Football in 2024
One of the model's fantasy football sleepers for 2024 is Jaguars wide receiver Christian Kirk. Kirk is projected to be Jacksonville's No. 1 receiving threat after the Jaguars decided to release Calvin Ridley during the offseason. Kirk missed the final five games of last season to undergo core muscle surgery but was very productive for fantasy managers when he was on the field.
Prior to his injury, Kirk was ranked 19th among wide receivers in fantasy points per game, and that number should rise in 2024 as he is expected to see an increased target share. He led the Jaguars in targets, catches and receiving yards, averaging 5.1 receptions and 69.2 yards on 7.6 targets per game before his injury in Week 13. Despite this production, Kirk is being drafted in the average 10th round according to the latest 2024 fantasy football ADP. SportsLine's model projects Kirk to out-grade other wide receivers such as Malik Neighbors (ADP 8th round), Jaeden Reed (8th round) and Christian Watson (9th round).
Another sleeper that was highlighted in SportsLine's 2024 fantasy football rankings is Packers quarterback Jordan Love. Love proved to be a star in his first season as a starter in Green Bay, and fantasy managers benefited greatly. Last year, Love filled in for Aaron Rodgers and averaged 22.5 fantasy points per game, including seven games where he scored 26.3 fantasy points or more.
Despite these impressive numbers, Love is being drafted close to QB10 in most leagues and could easily surpass that value based on how well he performs in 2023. Drafted in the fifth round on average, SportsLine's model projects Love to outperform other quarterbacks such as Lamar Jackson (third-round ADP) and C.J. Stroud (fourth round), making him one of the top fantasy football sleepers to target on draft day. Find other fantasy football sleepers to pick in 2024 here.
