Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray, when healthy, has proven to be one of the most productive quarterbacks in our 2024 fantasy football rankings. Murray was only able to play eight games in 2023 due to injury, but still threw for 1,799 yards, 10 touchdowns, and five interceptions. He also rushed for 244 yards and a score three times. The Cardinals surround him with a talented group of young pass-catching talent in tight end Trey McBride and wide receivers Marvin Harrison Jr. and Michael Wilson. Where will Murray rank in our 2024 fantasy football QB rankings? Can the 2018 Heisman Trophy winner regain his status as one of the top fantasy football picks in 2024 and target him during your 2024 fantasy football draft preparation?

Last year, the model accurately predicted that Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle would not live up to his fantasy football ADP. Waddle's 2023 fantasy football ADP was 34.86 overall, making him the 11th-best receiver overall. He recorded a 1,000-yard season but only had 72 receptions and four touchdowns, finishing 34th among fantasy football wide receivers in CBS Sports PPR leagues.
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 also predicted past fantasy football sleepers such as Derrick Henry in 2019, Christian McCaffrey and Alvin Kamara in 2018, and Davante Adams in 2017. Betting on these players has led to them winning league titles.
The model is run by the same people who create the projections for the three major fantasy sites, and it beat out human experts last season when there was a huge difference in rankings. Our 2024 Fantasy Football PPR Rankings and 2024 Fantasy Football Standard Projections are updated multiple times each day, so you'll always have the best fantasy football advice and the latest fantasy football tiers.

2024 Fantasy Football QB Rankings
Here are SportsLine's top three fantasy football QB picks for 2024.
1. Jalen Hurts, Philadelphia Eagles: Hurts has a lot of weapons on the offensive side of things, and the Eagles added running back Saquon Barkley to a unit that already features AJ Brown and DeVonta Smith. Hurts continued to thrive in 2023, rushing for 3,858 yards and 23 touchdowns, both career highs. He also had 15 rushing touchdowns last season, proving he's still got a fantasy ceiling this year.
2. Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills: Allen's two-way ability can carry you to a fantasy football championship. Allen has served as QB1 or QB2 four times since 2019 and has thrown for over 4,000 yards in each of the past four seasons. He's also very effective as a rusher. Last season, Allen averaged 4.7 yards per carry and scored 15 rushing touchdowns.
3. Lamar Jackson, Baltimore Ravens: Jackson is up for a second MVP award in 2023. Last year, Jackson set career highs in completions (307), pass attempts (457) and passing yards (3,678) while throwing 24 touchdowns. He also had 821 yards and five scores on the ground. See other top QBs here.
2024 Fantasy Football RB Rankings
Here are SportsLine's top three fantasy football running back picks for 2024.
1. Christian McCaffrey, San Francisco 49ers: The obvious choice to be selected No. 1 overall in just about every format, McCaffrey has recorded 3,233 scrimmage yards and 31 touchdowns in 27 games since joining the 49ers, and you can count on him to throw 20-plus touchdowns almost every week.
2. Breece Hall, New York Jets: Hall was recovering from a season-ending injury during his rookie season, which left his status in question for the start of 2023, and the Jets limited him over the first month of the season, giving him just 37 touches in the first four games. But he broke out with 177 rushing yards against the Broncos and ultimately finished with 1,585 scrimmage yards and nine scores. He's now healthy and should be a focal point of the Jets' offense.
3. Saquon Barkley, Philadelphia Eagles: After six years in New York, Barkley left the Giants for the Eagles this offseason after failing to sign a contract extension. Now he'll be playing behind a much better offensive line and surrounded by the Eagles' talented skill players. After racking up 2,892 scrimmage yards and 20 touchdowns over the past two seasons, he should be able to make even more in Philadelphia in 2024. Click here to see more top running backs.
2024 Fantasy Football WR Rankings
Here are SportsLine's top three fantasy football WR picks for 2024.
1. CeeDee Lamb, Dallas Cowboys: Entering his fifth year in the NFL, Lamb has set career highs in receptions, yards and receiving touchdowns in every year of his career, culminating in a 2023 season when he had 135 catches for 1,749 yards and 12 touchdowns. Even if he can't surpass those numbers again in 2024, Lamb would still be a top option on a Dallas offense with a deep floor that's the highest of any receiver in the game.
2. Tyreek Hill, Miami Dolphins: When Hill left Kansas City, some prognosticators predicted his production would decline without Patrick Mahomes. But he piled up 238 receptions, 3,509 yards and 20 touchdowns in two seasons with Miami. He led the NFL in yards per route run (3.88) and, barring injury, it's hard to imagine a world in which he isn't one of the league's best players. And he's missed just one game in the past three years.
3. Amon-Ra St. Brown, Detroit Lions: Like Lamb, St. Brown has improved each of his three years in the NFL, hauling in 119 catches for 1,515 yards and 10 touchdowns last season. But unlike the other two, he's done most of his damage near the line of scrimmage, averaging just 7.9 yards of target depth (85th among NFL receivers) and 668 yards after the catch (2nd among receivers).

2024 Fantasy Football TE Rankings
Here are SportsLine's top three 2024 fantasy football TE picks.
1. Travis Kelce, Kansas City Chiefs: Kelce had seven straight seasons with 1,000+ receiving yards, but that streak came to an end in 2023. But the future Hall of Famer is one of the most productive fantasy tight ends in the league. The 34-year-old Kelce caught 93 passes for 984 yards and five touchdowns last season, which was a step back for him, but was enough to make him a top-three tight end after all. Of all the tight ends in the NFL, Kelce is in perhaps the best situation both tactically and from a quarterback standpoint.
2. Sam LaPorta, Detroit Lions: LaPorta burst onto the fantasy football scene as a rookie in 2023, catching 86 passes for 889 yards and 10 touchdowns. Year two will see him become more familiar with the Lions' system and quarterback Jared Goff. The former Iowa star also has the benefit of playing in an offense that features playmakers Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameel Gibbs, who are likely to draw plenty of attention from opposing defenses.
3. Mark Andrews, Baltimore Ravens: Andrews was on pace to have the best year of his career in 2023 before an ankle injury ended his season early. The Oklahoma star caught 45 passes for 544 yards and six touchdowns in 10 games. Andrews is set to enter the 2024 season fully healthy and looking to reclaim his spot as NFL MVP Lamar Jackson's No. 1 target. See other top tight ends here.
