Even though last year was considered a step back for running back Tony Pollard, he still eclipsed 1,000 rushing yards and scored six times.

Last year, the model accurately predicted that Buccaneers running back Rachaad White was being dramatically undervalued. White was coming off the board in the seventh round on average in 12-team PPR leagues, but he emerged as Tampa Bay's workhorse ball carrier and provided significantly more value than expected, finishing No. 4 at his position. White rushed for 990 yards and six touchdowns while adding 64 catches for 549 yards and three more scores as a receiver. Anybody who followed the model's advice scored an every week starting running back in the middle rounds.
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.

Top 2024 Fantasy football sleepers
One of the 2024 Fantasy football sleepers the model is predicting: Browns wide receiver Amari Cooper. The 30-year-old finished as the WR17 in Fantasy points per game last year, ranking 13th in air-yard share and 23rd in target share. Deshaun Watson struggled for most of the season, but that did not stop Cooper from putting together a quality campaign.
Cooper averaged nearly 100 receiving yards per game in five full games with Watson, so his ceiling is even higher this season if Watson can be consistent. Cleveland added receiver Jerry Jeudy in the offseason, but Cooper remains the No. 1 option on the Browns depth chart. SportsLine's model has Cooper ranked ahead of wideouts like DK Metcalf, Zay Flowers and Jaylen Waddle, making him one of the Fantasy football sleepers 2024 in most drafts.See more Fantasy football sleepers 2024 here.
Top 2024 Fantasy football breakouts
One of the 2024 Fantasy football breakouts the model is predicting: Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams. The No. 12 overall pick in 2022 saw his rookie season start late due to a college injury and was then suspended to start last season. However, he's flashed game-breaking ability including in the NFC Championship Game when he had 42 yards and a touchdown on the ground, plus 25 yards and a score through the air.
Detroit moved on from starting wideout Josh Reynolds, with no notable receiver additions through the draft or free agency. That paves the way for a much bigger role for Williams, who should see nothing but single coverage when sharing the field with Amon-Ra St. Brown and Sam LaPorta. Detroit ranked second in passing yards last season, so the targets will be there, and the model has identified Williams as a Fantasy football 2024 breakout.See more Fantasy football breakouts 2024 here.
Top 2024 Fantasy football busts
As for players to avoid, the model lists Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers as one of its 2024 Fantasy football busts. Rodgers' first season in New York didn't go as planned. The veteran signal-caller suffered a torn left Achilles four snaps into his first game with the Jets. While he's certainly one of the most recognizable quarterbacks in the league, Rodgers hasn't been the most productive Fantasy football quarterback when healthy.
In fact, he threw 26 or fewer touchdown passes in four of his last six seasons with the Packers. Plus, Rodgers has thrown only one pass in an NFL game in the past 18 months, a major reason why the model is warning Fantasy owners to steer clear of the future Hall of Famer. The model ranks Rodgers outside the top 20 quarterbacks in its 2024 Fantasy football QB rankings, making him one of the top 2024 Fantasy football busts to avoid on draft day.See more Fantasy football busts 2024 here
