The New York Jets have the longest active postseason drought in the NFL, yet they enter the regular season with Super Bowl aspirations. A reason for all of the optimism regarding the Jets is the team's firepower on the offensive side of the ball. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers, running back Breece Hall, and wide receiver Garrett Wilson are all near the top of the 2024 fantasy football rankings. The Jets also have a pair of potential 2024 fantasy football sleepers, veteran wide receiver Mike Williams and tight end Tyler Conklin.
Should you target any of the Jets' standouts when building your 2024 fantasy football strategy? Which players in New York's offense have the potential to be 2024 fantasy football busts? Before crafting your 2024 Fantasy football draft strategy, be sure to check out the 2024 Fantasy football rankings and cheat sheets from the proven computer model at SportsLine.
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. 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 rankings 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: Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice. The former SMU standout was solid as a rookie in 2023, catching 79 passes for 938 yards and seven touchdowns. He is expected to have an expanded role in Kansas City's high-powered offense in his second NFL season.
Rice has to compete with All-Pro tight end Travis Kelce for targets, but he is widely considered to be the team's top outside threat. He is currently coming off the board in the seventh round on average with an ADP of 80.9 in CBS Sports fantasy drafts. Rice is being taken after guys like Zay Flowers, Tank Dell, and Tee Higgins, who are all projected to finish below him in the fantasy football wide receiver rankings from SportsLine's simulation model.
Another sleeper that SportsLine's Fantasy football rankings 2024 have identified: Cowboys wide receiver Brandin Cooks. The well-traveled Cooks' Dallas tenure got off to a rocky start when he hurt his knee in Week 1, missed Week 2 and then needed a few games to find his footing and role in the Cowboys offense. However, once he did just that starting in Week 6, he was one of the most productive receivers in the league. From Weeks 6 thru 18, Cooks ranked 14th amongst wideouts in Fantasy points, which is in line with his career rankings as was a top 20 Fantasy wide receiver six times over his previous eight seasons.
With CeeDee Lamb on the other side, Cooks will never see a double team, and he plays in an offense that ranked first in points, first in passing touchdowns and third in passing yards last year. With Dallas losing No. 3 receiver Michael Gallup, and no proven options to replace him, Dak Prescott may rely even more on players like Cooks and Lamb this season. SportsLine's model has Cooks on par with Minnesota's Jordan Addison, despite the latter having an earlier 2024 Fantasy football ADP. See which other Fantasy football sleepers 2024 to pick here.
