As Fantasy football 2024 drafts go on the clock, the search for 2024 Fantasy football breakouts continues. Much attention centers on where to pick 2024 Fantasy football rookie quarterbacks like Jayden Daniels, Caleb Williams and Bo Nix. However, last year's draft class has quarterbacks who are difficult to slot in the 2024 Fantasy football rankings. C.J. Stroud, the 2023 Rookie of the Year, solidified his status as a top-50 Fantasy pick, while the latest 2024 Fantasy football ADP shows Anthony Richardson going off around pick No. 60 as Fantasy players believe he could be a breakout player this year.
Bryce Young and Will Levis are unquestioned starters for the Panthers and Titans, respectively, but they're considered 2024 Fantasy football deep sleepers who are not being picked in many drafts at this point. What should your 2024 Fantasy football draft strategy be at quarterback, and which 2024 Fantasy football breakouts do you need to know about before making 2024 Fantasy football picks? Before crafting your 2024 Fantasy football draft strategy, be sure to check out the 2024 Fantasy football rankings and 2024 Fantasy football cheat sheets from the proven computer model at SportsLine.
Last year, the model accurately predicted that Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs would carry significantly more value than expected during his rookie season. The result: Gibbs rushed for 945 yards and 10 touchdowns while also catching 52 passes for 316 yards and a score. Gibbs was coming off the board in the middle of the fourth round on average but finished as a top-10 running back 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 projections update multiple times daily, so you're always getting the best Fantasy football advice.

Top 2024 Fantasy football breakouts
One of the 2024 Fantasy football breakouts the model is predicting: Bears quarterback Caleb Williams. Chicago is about to have its third new starting quarterback in four years, but there is a lot to like about having the 2022 Heisman Trophy winner and No. 1 overall pick from the 2024 NFL Draft.
To compliment Williams' arm strength and creativity, the Bears have pieced together a new receiving corps. Keenan Allen and D.J. Moore join the team, as does fellow first-round pick Rome Odunze who is also predicted to have a successful rookie campaign. Williams' ADP suggests he will be a late-round pick in Fantasy football pools, but he has the foundation to have a very productive 2024 season.
Another breakout that SportsLine's Fantasy football rankings 2024 have identified: Chargers receiver Josh Palmer. Despite being buried on the Chargers depth chart behind Keenan Allen and Mike Williams recently, the 24-year-old Palmer has still put together a respectable three-year career with 1,703 receiving yards and nine touchdowns. With those veterans gone, Palmer projects as a starter with a big-armed quarterback in Justin Herbert throwing him the ball.
Palmer is the most proven option as rookie Ladd McConkey and second-year player Quentin Johnston are also projected to start, so a 100-target season is feasible. SportsLine's model is high on Palmer's value despite his current Fantasy football ADP of 142. The model says he'll outperform players such as Jameson Williams and Rome Odunze, both of whom are being picked multiple rounds ahead of him.See which other Fantasy football breakouts 2024 to pick here.
