With the 2024 NFL preseason schedule in full swing, time is running out for managers to put the final touches on their 2024 fantasy football draft strategy. Perennial All-Pro candidates like Christian McCaffrey, Patrick Mahomes, and Tyreek Hill all headline the 2024 fantasy football rankings and could be among the top players on most fantasy football 2024 draft boards. However, the key to success remains finding 2024 fantasy football deep sleepers and 2024 fantasy football breakouts who will outperform their 2024 fantasy football ADP. In 2023, Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua burst onto the scene, catching 105 passes for 1,486 yards and six touchdowns as a rookie. The former fifth-round pick out of BYU was an afterthought entering the season, but went on to be one of the top performers of the year.

Top 2024 Fantasy football picks
The Fantasy football draft bible features 2024 Fantasy football sleepers, including:
Marvin Mims, WR, Denver Broncos: Mims is entering his second professional season with high expectations. The former Oklahoma standout entered the league as a second round pick in 2023, and flashed signs of elite level explosiveness as a rookie. He finished his first NFL season with 22 catches for 377 yards (17.1 yards per reception) and a touchdown, while playing in an offense that struggled at the quarterback position. With Jerry Jeudy no longer in the mix in Denver, Mims could see a significant jump in targets in 2022.
"Mims didn't hook up with Russell Wilson very often as a rookie, but when he did, the results trended toward being explosive. He caught two 50-yard passes in Week 2 (one for a TD), saw five targets the following week and then was basically mothballed the rest of the year. The former second-round pick could see his volume increase with Jerry Jeudy in Cleveland, and improved QB play could easily make Mims Fantasy relevant as a top-40 receiver," White told SportsLine.
Tyjae Spears, RB, Tennessee Titans: Spears has to compete for carries and touches with free agent acquisition Tony Pollard, but the former Tulane standout displayed high-end ability as a rookie in 2023. While backing up Derrick Henry, Spears rushed for 453 yards and two touchdowns on 100 carries, and caught 52 passes for 385 yards and a touchdown. His ability as an all-purpose back makes him a highly attractive sleeper candidate in PPR fantasy leagues heading into the 2024 season.
"Spears didn't get many opportunities to shine as a runner playing behind Derrick Henry as a rookie, but he averaged a solid 4.5 yards on his 100 carries. He absolutely crushed it as a receiver, hauling in 52 receptions on 75 targets for 385 yards. The upside is massive if he can set himself apart from Tony Pollard with the latter coming off a hugely disappointing season in Dallas. Joe Mixon saw similar receiving numbers to Spears in new Titans coach Brian Callahan's system last year while finishing as RB6 in PPR leagues, so top 15 isn't out of the question for Spears if he grabs hold of the starter role," White told SportsLine.Get the full Fantasy football draft guide over at SportsLine.
