Fantasy Football Rankings 2024

Breece Hall, RB, Jets. Bye: 12.

Breece Hall was able to post Marshall Faulk-type numbers late last season. Now another year removed from his torn ACL, Hall should have a huge 2024.

Christian McCaffrey, RB, 49ers. Bye: 9.

Christian McCaffrey suffered a calf strain and will miss several weeks of practice as a result. He could be fine by Week 1, but soft-tissue injuries tend to linger. I was already on the fence concerning McCaffrey’s status as the No. 1 player in my fantasy football rankings because of his injury history and the wear and tear his body has taken in recent years. This will be the straw that broke the camel’s back in that regard.

Bijan Robinson, RB, Falcons. Bye: 12.

Bijan Robinson owners will no longer have to worry about Arthur Smith’s incompetence, as Smith was fired by the Falcons. Robinson should see a huge uptick in his workload.

Jonathan Taylor, RB, Colts. Bye: 14.

Jonathan Taylor missed time with a holdout and injuries last year. He should be back to his former self next season.

Saquon Barkley, RB, Eagles. Bye: 5.

Saquon Barkley had a down year playing behind a miserable offensive line. He’ll have the best blocking unit of his career in Philadelphia.

Jahmyr Gibbs, RB, Lions. Bye: 5.

Jahmyr Gibbs took a back seat to David Montgomery to start the year, but his role increased as the season progressed. He should be in for a huge 2024 campaign.

Kyren Williams, RB, Rams. Bye: 6.

Kyren Williams snatched the starting running back job away from Cam Akers and had some terrific performances, even against tough opponents. Unfortunately, there are some serious injury risks.

Josh Jacobs, RB, Packers. Bye: 10.

The Raiders did not block very well for Josh Jacobs last year. He’ll be in a much better offense with the Packers in 2024 and beyond.

Isiah Pacheco, RB, Chiefs. Bye: 6.

Isiah Pacheco is a tough runner who has developed into a much better receiver.

Travis Etienne, RB, Jaguars. Bye: 12.

Travis Etienne was inconsistent last year, but was able to score 12 total touchdowns in an improved offense. The blocking could stand to improve, and if it does, Etienne will project much better.
