2024 Fantasy football draft prep: Rankings, rookies, advice, strategy, top 150 players by veteran NF

USATSI

2024 Fantasy football draft prep is underway, and your 2024 Fantasy football strategy will have to be on point in order to have a successful season. Drafting the right running back can be tough, since you have to consider whether he will rack up fantasy points on the ground or be used as a short-game pass specialist. Big-name running backs have also joined new teams this offseason, which can impact how effective they will be in the 2024 Fantasy football rankings. San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey will be off the board early in most Fantasy football 2024 drafts, as will Atlanta Falcons rusher Bijan Robinson. Who are some under-the-radar running backs you should consider in your 2024 Fantasy football draft strategy?

Whether you're hunting for a 2024 Fantasy football top 150 you can trust or position-specific 2024 Fantasy football rankings that can help you identify potential 2024 Fantasy football breakouts, sleepers, and busts, be sure to see what the 2024 Fantasy Football Draft Bible at SportsLine has to say.

Top 2024 Fantasy football picks

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

Tyrone Tracy Jr, RB, New York Giants: The Purdue product will fly under the radar since he was a wide receiver prior to the 2023 season. The change was a successful one, as he scored eight rushing touchdowns and led the Big Ten with 6.3 yards per carry. His biggest competition for work will be Devin Singletary, but the expert thinks Tracy will lock in his opportunities as a downfield threat since he has receiver experience.

"Tracy brings an explosive, high-ceiling element to the Giants run game that Singletary can't match if things break right for the rookie," White told SportsLine.

Chase Brown, RB, Cincinnati Bengals: Brown had more work at the latter part of the last season once Joe Burrow's campaign was over. That workload could continue in 2024, which the expert says "could allow him to pile up production as defenses focus on stopping other parts of the passing game."

Brown's competition for RB1 is Zach Moss, who joined the Bengals this offseason from the Indianapolis Colts. However, Moss only averaged 3.7 yards per carry from Week 6 on when Jonathan Taylor returned. Since Brown has more receiving abilities, he could end up having more fantasy value than his ADP implies. Get the full Fantasy football draft guide over at SportsLine.
