Last year, the model accurately predicted that Jets running back Breece Hall would significantly outperform his sixth-round Fantasy football ADP in 10-team PPR leagues. The result: Hall rushed 223 times for 994 yards and five scores and was also a dynamic receiver out of the backfield, catching 76 passes for 591 yards and four more scores. He’d wind up finishing as the No. 2 running back in CBS Sports PPR leagues behind only Christian McCaffrey.
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.

Top 2024 Fantasy football sleepers
One of the 2024 Fantasy football sleepers the model is predicting: Browns wide receiver Amari Cooper. Cooper posted his seventh 1,000-yard season of his nine-year NFL career after having 72 receptions for 1,250 yards and five touchdowns last season. He was 21st in the NFL in targets (128) as the Browns want him to be the focal point of their receiving game. He’s developed a clear chemistry with Deshaun Watson despite Watson playing only 12 games over his two seasons in Cleveland due to suspension and injuries.
In the five games Watson started and finished last season, Cooper averaged 96 receiving yards with two touchdowns and had at least 90 receiving yards in four of those five contests. Watson is expected to be fully healthy after suffering a season-ending shoulder injury and with Nick Chubb (knee) out to begin the start of the season, Cleveland may rely on its passing attack even more. Cooper is clearly a top target for Watson and the model has him ranked within the top 18 receivers despite going outside the top 20 at his position.
Another sleeper that SportsLine’s Fantasy football rankings 2024 have identified: Packers quarterback Jordan Love. Love proved to be a star in his first season as a starter in Green Bay, and Fantasy managers benefitted in a big way. Last year, Love took over for Aaron Rodgers and averaged 22.5 Fantasy points per game, including seven outings with at least 26.3 Fantasy points.
Despite those impressive numbers, Love is being drafted close to QB10 in the majority of leagues, and he could easily outproduce that value based on what he did in 2023. SportsLine’s model expects Love, who’s being drafted in the 5th-round average, to outperform fellow quarterbacks like Lamar Jackson (3rd-round ADP) and C.J. Stroud (4th), making him one of the top Fantasy football sleepers to target on draft day. See which other Fantasy football sleepers 2024 to pick here.
