The Kansas City Chiefs' duo of Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce will be near the top of the 2024 fantasy football rankings. The quarterback-tight end pairing has accounted for 52 touchdowns since Mahomes took over as the full-time starter for Kansas City in 2018 and will try to add to that total when the 2024 season kicks off September 5. With their proven track records and high-end production, it should come as no surprise that both Kelce and Mahomes rank near the top of the 2024 fantasy football QB rankings and 2024 Fantasy football TE rankings. Should you target Mahomes or Kelce, who will turn 35-years-old in October, during your 2024 fantasy football draft prep? If you're looking for 2024 Fantasy football advice, be sure to check out the 2024 Fantasy football cheat sheets from the proven computer model at SportsLine.
Last year, the model accurately predicted that Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle would fail to live up to his Fantasy football ADP. Waddle's 2023 Fantasy football ADP was 34.86 overall and he was the 11th receiver off the board on average. He'd go on to notch a 1,000-yard season but only had 72 receptions with four touchdowns and he'd finish as the No. 34 Fantasy football wide receiver in CBS Sports PPR leagues.
The same model has a proven track record providing Fantasy football tips, identifyingA.J. Brownas a sleeper in 2020 and nailingJonathan Taylor'smonstrous season in 2021. Additionally, it's called past Fantasy football sleepers likeDerrick Henryin 2019,Christian McCaffreyandAlvin Kamarain 2018, andDavante Adamsin 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 and the latest Fantasy football tiers.

Top 2024 Fantasy football QB rankings
Here's a look at SportsLine's top three 2024 Fantasy football QB picks:
1. Jalen Hurts, Philadelphia Eagles: Hurts has steadily improved as a passer, and remains a dangerous red zone threat due to his running ability. The Eagles may have the best wide receiver duo in the NFL in A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith, giving Hurts everything he needs to have another massive fantasy football season in 2024.
2. Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills: Allen is another dual-threat quarterback that can rack up fantasy points with his legs and arms. The former Wyoming standout will have to find a new go-to wide receiver after Stefon Diggs was traded to the Texans during the offseason, but there is still plenty of talent in Buffalo for Allen to thrive. Allen is arguably the best pure passer in the NFL today.
3. Patrick Mahomes, Kansas City Chiefs: Mahomes is widely considered to be the best quarterback in the NFL today, and is on track to go down as one of the greatest players of all-time. The former Texas Tech standout thrives in Andy Reid's system, and the Chiefs' front office added a pair of speedy weapons (Marquise Brown and Xavier Worthy) during the offseason. Mahomes is a fairly safe pick to finish the season near the top of the fantasy football quarterback rankings.See more top QBs here.
Top 2024 Fantasy football RB rankings
Here's a look at SportsLine's top three 2024 Fantasy football RB picks:
1. Christian McCaffrey, San Francisco 49ers: McCaffrey's history is pretty clear -- if he's healthy, you're going to get the sort of production that can carry your squad in any given week. In the last four seasons where he's played at least 16 games, he's averaged 2,065 scrimmage yards and nearly 16 touchdowns. If you're picking first in a typical PPR league, the choice is pretty easy here.
2. Breece Hall, New York Jets: A second-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, Hall piled up 681 scrimmage yards and five touchdowns over his first seven games as a rookie and appeared to be gathering steam before an injury ended his season. He returned in 2023 to play in all 17 games and produced 1,585 scrimmage yards and nine touchdowns despite the Jets having no credible passing threat. With Aaron Rodgers returning, Hall should see softer defensive fronts and do even more damage.
3. Saquon Barkley, Philadelphia Eagles: After six years with the Giants, Barkley joined the Eagles this offseason and now he'll play in a dynamic offense behind a strong offensive line. Nagging injuries have been an issue at times but he's still managed to reach double-digits in touchdowns the last two seasons while averaging 1,446 scrimmage yards. He could be in for a big year after the change of scenery.See more top RBs here.
Top 2024 Fantasy football WR rankings
Here's a look at SportsLine's top three 2024 Fantasy football WR picks:
1. CeeDee Lamb, Dallas Cowboys: The fourth-year receiver has increased his receptions, yards and touchdowns in each of his first three NFL seasons, and although it may seem difficult to imagine him putting together a stronger 2024 NFL season than he did last year, history shows he'll improve. Lamb led the NFL in receptions (135), ranked second in receiving yards (1,749) and third in receiving touchdowns (12) to be the WR1 in Fantasy football last year. Another year with Dak Prescott at quarterback and without Dallas making significant upgrades to its playmaking unit signals another huge usage for Lamb as the model's WR1 in 2024 Fantasy football rankings.
2. Tyreek Hill, Miami Dolphins: Hill became the first player in NFL history to record two 1,700 receiving yard seasons over his career, let alone doing so in back-to-back seasons. The 30-year-old led the NFL with 1,799 receiving yards as he posted more than 1,700 yards in each of his first two seasons with Miami. With a happy Miami offense after Hill and Tua Tagovailoa both signed new contracts this offseason, the model projects another monster season from Hill.
3. Amon-Ra St. Brown, Detroit Lions: Similar to Lamb, St. Brown has increased his receptions, receiving yards and touchdowns in each of his first three NFL seasons. The 24-year-old was third in the league in receiving yards (1,515) and tied for second in receptions (119) last season. The schedule favors the Lions' offense this season with 14 of Detroit's 17 games being played indoors this season, which is when Jared Goff is at his best, which in turn leads to elite performances by St. Brown.See more top WRs here.
Top 2024 Fantasy football TE rankings
Here's a look at SportsLine's top three 2024 Fantasy football TE picks:
1. Travis Kelce, Kansas City Chiefs: The four-time All-Pro had logged seven consecutive seasons with at least 1,000 receiving yards before being held to 984 yards in 2023. The Chiefs added veteran wideout Marquise Brown and rookie first-round pick Xavier Worthy this offseason, which means Kelce could be seeing more one-on-one coverage underneath. Of all the tight ends in the NFL, Kelce is in arguably the best situation from both schematic and quarterback perspectives.
2. Sam LaPorta, Detroit Lions: LaPorta was one of the biggest breakouts in 2023 as a rookie when he averaged 14.1 PPR points per game. The former Iowa standout should remain a focal point for Jared Goff this season in Ben Johnson's offense, and LaPorta was one of seven players to score at least 10 touchdowns in 2023.
3. Mark Andrews, Baltimore Ravens: In 2023, Andrews had another stellar campaign at 13.5 PPR points per game before an ankle injury caused him to miss the final six games of the regular season. Andrews will enter the 2024 season fully healthy and he should once again be the No. 1 target for Lamar Jackson. Andrews has scored 40 touchdowns since 2018 and he's averaging 12.7 yards per catch in his career.See more top TEs here.
