Fantasy football draft season is approaching quickly and avoiding potential 2024 Fantasy football busts will be on every manager’s mind.

Cooper Kupp has come off the board in the first or second round the last two seasons after a historic campaign in 2021, but he’s missed 13 games and could fall down the 2024 Fantasy football WR rankings. With reliable 2024 Fantasy football rankings, you can identify players who might wind up as Fantasy football busts 2024 before they can cause you damage. So as you begin your 2024 Fantasy football draft prep, be sure to check out the 2024 Fantasy football cheat sheets from the proven computer model at SportsLine.
Last year, the model accurately predicted that Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle would fail to live up to his Fantasy football ADP. Waddle’s 2023 Fantasy football ADP was 34.86 overall and he was the 11th receiver off the board on average. He’d go on to notch a 1,000-yard season but only had 72 receptions with four touchdowns and he’d finish as the No. 34 Fantasy football wide receiver in CBS Sports PPR leagues.
The same model has a proven track record providing Fantasy football tips, identifying A.J. Brown as a sleeper in 2020 and nailing Jonathan Taylor’s monstrous season in 2021. Additionally, it’s called past Fantasy football sleepers like Derrick Henry in 2019, Christian McCaffrey and Alvin Kamara in 2018, and Davante Adams in 2017. Anybody who banked on players like those made a run at their league title.
The model is powered by the same people who generated projections for all three major Fantasy sites, and it beat human experts last season when there was a big difference in ranking. The 2024 Fantasy football PPR rankings and 2024 Fantasy football standard projections update multiple times daily, so you’re always getting the best Fantasy football advice.
Now, SportsLine has simulated the entire NFL season 10,000 times and released its latest Fantasy football rankings 2024, along with plenty of sleepers, breakouts and busts. Head to SportsLine now to see them.
Top 2024 Fantasy football busts
One of the 2024 Fantasy football busts the model is predicting: Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin. Despite poor target quality from a slew of quarterbacks throughout his career, McLaurin managed to turn in his fourth consecutive 1,000-yard season in 2023.
Now he’ll have a franchise quarterback to work with after Washington spent the No. 2 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft on Jayden Daniels. However, there’s typically a learning curve for rookie quarterback and Daniels’ running ability may lead to fewer opportunities in the passing game overall for McLaurin. The model ranks him outside its top 35 wide receivers for 2024.
Another bust that SportsLine’s Fantasy football rankings 2024 have identified: Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson. A fourth-round pick out of Oklahoma in the 2024 NFL Draft, Stevenson had a breakout season in 2022 when he rushed for 1,040 yards and five touchdowns while also catching 69 passes for 421 yards and a score.
He was drafted 36.91 overall last season but missed five games and finished with only 857 scrimmage yards and four touchdowns. Managers have been quick to forget about Stevenson’s struggles and he’s currently the 18th running back coming off the board on average. However, the model predicts that he finishes as RB25.
