Jody Smith's 2024 Fantasy Football Sleepers
The 2024 NFL preseason is officially underway. That means it is almost fantasy draft season- the most wonderful time of the year! For football fans, at least.
Fantasy football drafts have been going for some time and we have well-established ADPs to determine value. Using up-to-date draft positions and our 2024 fantasy football projections, we can mine out players who look ripe for exploiting their value. These sleepers can make all the difference between compiling a competitive roster and a real championship contender.
Here are some of my favorite values and sleepers to target in 2024 fantasy football drafts.
Quarterbacks
Brock Purdy (San Francisco 49ers) - My most-rostered quarterback so far this season is Brock Purdy. After finishing as the QB6 last season, I'm not sure why the fantasy world seems to be out of Purdy. He is regularly available outside of QB1 range. However, Purdy is the perfect fit in Kyle Shanahan's offense- a unit that ranked 4th in passing and 3rd in scoring in 2023. Also, the Niners are bringing back the same players who led the club to the Super Bowl. Finally, the 49ers have the easiest schedule for quarterbacks per FullTime's Strength of Schedule Tool.
Trevor Lawrence (Jacksonville Jaguars) - Overall, the quarterback position is very deep in 2024. That depth is another reason to simply wait to draft your signal caller and load up on other positions early. Like Brock Purdy, Trevor Lawrence faired better last season than fantasy managers seem to recall. Lawrence's 2023 output (QB12) was eerily similar to his 2022 showing (QB7). Additionally, the Jaguars added Gabriel Davis and Brian Thomas Jr., giving Lawrence plenty of weapons. Lawrence has been durable and can boost his fantasy output on the ground behind an improved offensive line. Despite a rough schedule, I think he will contend for top-10 fantasy numbers once again. That makes Lawrence another solid value to target late in drafts.
Bo Nix (Denver Broncos) - I'm not saying Nix is an option in single-QB formats, but...
