Dalton Del Don runs through seven players he’ll be targeting in 2024 fantasy football drafts.
Rashee Rice, WR, Kansas City Chiefs
Rice was one of the league’s most efficient wide receivers as a rookie, when he finished with the third-most yards after the catch. He emerged as Kansas City’s clear No. 1 option in the passing game down the stretch and profiles as a top-12 fantasy WR moving forward. The Chiefs will certainly upgrade their WR room this offseason, but Travis Kelce will be 35 years old and may retire. I’m targeting Patrick Mahomes’ No. 1 receiver in fantasy drafts next year.
Anthony Richardson, QB, Indianapolis Colts
Lamar Jackson led the league with 0.68 fantasy points per dropback this season; Richardson got 0.81. AR carries more injury risk than most quarterbacks, but that will be (overly) priced into his ADP. Given his rushing ability and playing indoors in a Shane Steichen offense with strong WRs, Richardson should be ranked as top-five fantasy QB in 2024, but he won’t be drafted that way.
Tyjae Spears, RB, Tennessee Titans
Spears got the sixth-most yards per touch and ranked top-five in Juke Rate while passing the eye test as a rookie. He’s not built for 300+ touches, but Spears should see a lot more work in 2024 with Derrick Henry a free agent and likely gone. Tennessee isn’t an offensive environment to target next year, but Spears should thrive in an expanded role (assuming Henry leaves).
Ja’Marr Chase, WR, Cincinnati Bengals
Joe Burrow posted a historically low YPA while playing through a calf strain to start the year before ultimately suffering a season-ending wrist injury. Chase missed a game and played through a serious shoulder injury down the stretch, so we can safely ignore his disappointing 2023 stats (although he still finished as a top-15 fantasy WR). Chase is still just 23 years old, so expect a huge rebound next season with a healthy Burrow (and Tee Higgins is a free agent). Chase will be the fourth wide receiver off the…
