There will be a brief description provided on why.<\/p>\n<h2>2024 Fantasy Football League Winners by Position<\/h2>\n<h3>Quarterback<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>CJ Stroud<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Stroud has an opportunity to put up arcade fantasy numbers in his sophomore season. The Texans are a vertical passing offense stacked with talent. Look for lots of touchdowns and big plays from Stroud.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li>Jordan Love<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Love should be on pre-season MVP lists. He could be a fantasy MVP too.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li>Anthony Richardson<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Richardson is potent running the ball. He should also see coveted red zone carries. Jonathan Taylor\u2019s presence will cap his goal line runs, but Richardson\u2019s overall rushing can make him a 2o-point per week player.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li>Jalen Hurts<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>New offensive coordinator, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2024\/02\/01\/philadelphia-eagles-kellen-moore\/\" target=\"_self\">Kellen Moore<\/a>, will revert Hurts back to an All-Pro level. 15 rushing touchdowns will be hard to replicate but look for his 15 interceptions to go down, too.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li>Caleb Williams<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>It\u2019s tricky to bank on a rookie in fantasy football, so proceed with caution. However, Williams is walking into an unprecedented level of talent. DJ Moore, Keenan Allen, Cole Kmet, D\u2019Andre Swift, and Khalil Herbert are an abundance of wealth.<\/p>\n<h3>Running back<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>Derrick Henry<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The Ravens are a running team that will be playing with a lot of leads. Derrick Henry still has juice in the tank. Look for a more efficient season than he had in 2023. Fantasy managers can also bank on double-digit rushing touchdowns.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li>Saquan Barkley<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Barkley is an extraordinary talent behind an elite offensive line. He is a no-brainer to target this fantasy season.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li>Breece Hall<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The Jets&#8217; offensive line has improved, and <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2023\/12\/20\/aaron-rodgers-injury-2024\/\" target=\"_self\">Aaron Rodgers is back<\/a>. Hall could flirt with 2,000 yards from scrimmage.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li>Bijan Robinson<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Better play-calling should have Robinson\u2019s floor at 1,000 yards rushing and 500 yards receiving. Improved quarterback play will heighten his ceiling much further than that.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li>Aaron Jones<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Aaron Jones is still fast and dynamic and<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2024\/05\/16\/how-aaron-jones-unlock-vikings-offense\/\" target=\"_self\"> could find running lanes in Minnesota<\/a>. He\u2019s a fantasy football sleeper.<\/p>\n<h3>Wide Receiver<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>Puka Nacua<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Nacua had over 100 catches and nearly 1,500 yards as a rookie (!). His ceiling is in the stratosphere.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li>Garrett Wilson<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Garrett Wilson was productive with arguably the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2023\/11\/20\/wilsons-last-stand-jets-bench-zach-wilson-for-career-backup\/\" target=\"_self\">worst quarterback play in the NFL<\/a>. Wilson should thrive even if Aaron Rodgers doesn\u2019t fully revert back to form. Wilson could be in store for a huge season if Rodgers does.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li>Michael Pittman Jr.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Pittman Jr. is a perfect wide receiver to have in the Flex of PPR leagues. The yardage, big plays, and touchdowns are capped, but he\u2019s a catch machine.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li>Jayden Reed<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>One of Green Bay\u2019s receivers should rise to the top and become Jordan Love\u2019s primary target. It was primed to be Christian Watson, but he faltered in his second year. Fantasy managers should take a flier on Reed after round eight.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li>Amon-Ra St. Brown<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>St. Brown is a catch-machine in a very good offense. Unlike other slot receivers, \u201cSun God\u201d also puts up elite yardage; reaching over 1500 in 2023. St. Brown gets a lot of catches and doesn\u2019t have any receiver next to him to seriously challenge for targets.<\/p>\n<h3>Tight End<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>Kyle Pitts<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Pitts <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nfl.com\/news\/kirk-cousins-agrees-to-four-year-contract-with-atlanta-falcons\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">has a competent quarterback for the first time in his career<\/a>. Kirk Cousins\u2019s Achilles injury still raises concern, but Kyle Pitts can tentatively been viewed as an elite fantasy option.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li>Trey McBride<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Zach Ertz got placed on IR after Week 7. From Week 8 to Week 18, McBride accumulated 66 catches for 655 yards and three touchdowns. A full season as the starting tight end could wind up with McBridge putting up some eye-popping fantasy numbers.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li>Sam LaPorta<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>LaPorta will be Jared Goff\u2019s second option after Amon-Ra St. Brown. Goff is a rock-solid quarterback and Detroit is a potent offense. Look for LaPorta to get an elite number of targets.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li>Dalton Kincaid<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Buffalo lost both Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis this offseason. The Bills haven\u2019t sufficiently replaced either, so Allen will likely lean on his tight ends if that doesn\u2019t change. Kincaid could be in store for a ton of targets.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li>Evan Engram<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>It\u2019ll be difficult to replicate a 114-catch season, but Engram will be a fixture in the Jags\u2019 offense again. Gabe Davis will be replacing Calvin Ridley, but Davis is more of a deep threat, so expect Engram to see a lot of looks underneath.<\/p>\n<p>Main Image: Troy Taormina-USA TODAY Sports<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a list of fantasy football players who could exceed expectations and\/or Average Draft Position (ADP).
