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. 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.

Top 2024 Fantasy football sleepers
One of the 2024 Fantasy football sleepers the model is predicting: Patriots running back Antonio Gibson. After piling up 701 touches over his first three seasons in Washington, Gibson finished with a career-low 113 touches for the Commanders in 2023. However, he was heavily involved in their passing attack, setting new career-highs in targets (59), receptions (48) and receiving yards (389).
Now, he'll head to New England, where he'll serve as a change-of-pace to Rhamondre Stevenson, who has missed 10 games in his first three seasons. In PPR formats, the model deems Gibson worth a late-round flier, predicting that he finishes as a top-40 Fantasy football running back despite the fact that he's the 50th player off the board at the position on average.

Top 2024 Fantasy football breakouts
One of the 2024 Fantasy football breakouts the model is predicting: Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. Another Ohio State product, Harrison was selected No. 4 overall by the Arizona Cardinals in the 2024 NFL Draft and, like Wilson, he'll immediately take over as the squad's No. 1 receiver.
The son of an NFL Hall of Famer, Harrison had over 1,200 receiving yards and 14 touchdowns in each of his two years as a starter in Columbus. He was named a two-time All-American and won the Fred Biletnikoff Award as the nation's top receiver in 2023. Some draft pundits had him as their top-rated player in the Class of 2024 and the model is expecting him to form an immediate bond with Kyler Murray, predicting he finishes as a top-10 Fantasy receiver in his rookie season.

Top 2024 Fantasy football busts
As for players to avoid, the model lists Bears wide receiver Keenan Allen as one of its 2024 Fantasy football busts. Allen was traded to the Bears this offseason after spending the first 11 years of his NFL career with the Chargers. The former second-round pick out of Cal has put together a Hall of Fame-caliber career, but SportsLine's model is calling for him to have a dip in production in 2024.
Allen will be playing in an offense led by rookie quarterback Caleb Williams, who is sure to experience growing pains as he transitions to life in the NFL. Allen will also be competing for targets with wide receivers Rome Odunze and D.J. Moore, tight end Cole Kmet, and running back D'Andre Swift. To top it all off, injury risk has always been a concern for Allen, who has only played a full season twice in his career. See more Fantasy football busts 2024 here
