Hey fantasy football fanatics! The 2024 NFL season is just around the corner, and you know what that means: it's time to start drafting! This year, I'm stoked to share my "my guys" – the players I'm targeting in my drafts, the ones I believe have the potential to explode and lead your team to a championship. I've spent hours poring over film, analyzing player stats, and staying glued to the latest news and rumors, so you don't have to. So, buckle up, because we're diving deep into the players who could be the difference-makers in your fantasy leagues this year. Let's get right into it, shall we?

Quarterback Kings: My Top Signals for 2024

Alright, let's start with the most important position in fantasy football: quarterback! Finding the right signal-caller can make or break your season. This year, the quarterback landscape is particularly exciting, with several young guns ready to take the next step and established veterans looking to cement their legacies. When choosing my quarterbacks, I am looking at guys who are going to bring the heat! I'm talking about players with a high floor, and with a high ceiling. I am going to be focusing on a few key things: consistent performance, playmakers around them, and the coaching staff. I want guys who are going to put up points week in and week out. So, without further ado, let's get into the "my guys" for this season:

  • Patrick Mahomes: Come on, you didn't think I would leave off the guy who is the king right now, did you? Mahomes is always in my sights. He is the definition of consistent. The Chiefs offense will continue to be a high-powered machine, and Mahomes will be at the center of it all. Plus, his ability to improvise and make plays on the run gives him an edge that few others possess. He's a safe pick with a high ceiling, and he's definitely one of "my guys." And if you want to know what I am doing, I am drafting him in the first round.
  • Josh Allen: Allen is another guy who is constantly on my radar. With his combination of arm strength and rushing ability, Allen is a fantasy football cheat code. He racks up points through the air and on the ground, making him a dual-threat nightmare for opposing defenses. He is in the top 3 of every draft I do, and you will not see me passing up on him. The Bills' offense is built around him, and he has a plethora of weapons to throw to. Plus, his rushing ability gives him a safe floor, which is always nice to have in a QB.
  • Lamar Jackson: Lamar Jackson is a player that is really going to be a huge boost to your team. His MVP caliber talent is going to be something that will put him up there with the best QBs in the league. Now, there is a risk, but in the drafts that I have done, the risk is worth the reward. His ability to run gives him a massive advantage over other QBs, and his passing is not too shabby either. With a fully healthy roster, Lamar can be a top-tier fantasy QB.

Running Back Renegades: Who to Target on Draft Day

Now let's talk about the position that's often the most challenging to predict: running back. Injuries, committee backfields, and the unpredictable nature of the position make this a minefield. That is why it is important to target the right players. I am looking for guys who are going to touch the ball. I want a combination of talent and opportunity. So, let's look at the players that I am going to target:

  • Christian McCaffrey: This guy is simply a fantasy football stud. He is a workhorse back who is going to get a lot of touches in a high-powered offense. He can run, catch, and score touchdowns. He is the perfect player, if you ask me. He is a must-draft player in the first round, and you should not hesitate to grab him if you get the chance. McCaffrey is one of the most reliable players in fantasy football.
  • Bijan Robinson: As a rookie, Robinson showed flashes of brilliance and proved why he was a top-10 pick in the NFL draft. He is a phenomenal runner with a great receiving ability. He is the focal point of the Falcons offense, and his workload should be massive. Robinson has the potential to be a league winner. And I will be targeting him heavily in every draft that I do this year.
  • Saquon Barkley: While the Giants offense may not be the greatest in the league, Barkley remains an explosive talent. He is a workhorse back who can make big plays in the running and receiving game. The arrival of a new offensive coordinator could give Barkley a new lease on life. He is a great buy-low candidate, and he has the potential to be a top-10 running back.

Wide Receiver Wonders: Unearthing the League's Best

Wide receiver is another deep position in fantasy football, and there are a lot of guys that you can draft. I am looking for guys with high targets, that can go up and get the ball. And also, that is talented. When drafting WRs, I'm targeting players who are the clear-cut WR1s in their offenses, players with a history of consistent production, and those who are poised for a breakout season. Let's look at a few of my favorite WRs for the 2024 season:

  • Justin Jefferson: The guy is the best receiver in the league, in my opinion. He is a target hog and a dominant force who can make plays all over the field. He has a great combination of speed, route running, and hands, making him one of the most consistent receivers in fantasy football. Jefferson is going to be drafted in the first round of many leagues, and he deserves that. He is a surefire pick.
  • Ja'Marr Chase: As one of the top receivers in the game, Chase has a great connection with Joe Burrow. The Bengals offense is explosive and Chase has proven to be a reliable target, who makes big plays. He is a must-draft WR, if you ask me, and he will continue to be a star in the league for a long time.
  • Amon-Ra St. Brown: St. Brown is a reliable target who is going to be in your lineup for a long time. With consistent volume and a knack for finding the endzone, he is going to be a key player on your team. He has a high floor and is a safe pick in any draft. You will not regret drafting St. Brown.

Tight End Titans: Finding the Elite Options

Now, let's talk about tight ends. The tight end position is a lot like the running back position. There are a few elite players, and then there is a lot of risk. Finding an elite tight end can give you a significant advantage over your opponents. I am targeting the top tight ends who have a high target share and a proven track record of success. Here are a few tight ends that I am targeting in my drafts:

  • Travis Kelce: Come on, did you think I would leave out Kelce? He is arguably the best tight end in the league, with a proven track record of success and has been a top-tier fantasy option for years. He has a great connection with Patrick Mahomes, and is going to be a top option at the position. He is a must-draft TE, and he will be a key player on your team.
  • Mark Andrews: Andrews has been a consistent performer in the fantasy football world. He is a reliable target in a great offense led by Lamar Jackson. And has the potential to be a top-5 TE in the league. Andrews is a great value pick and will be a key player on your team.
  • T.J. Hockenson: Despite his injury at the end of last season, Hockenson remains a top tight end. He is a key target in the Vikings offense and has a high target share. He is a great value pick who can get you a lot of points. He is a must-draft TE.

The Final Word: Drafting for Glory

Alright, guys, there you have it – my initial "my guys" for the 2024 fantasy football season. Remember, this is just a starting point. The NFL is a dynamic league, and things can change quickly. Injuries, trades, and unexpected breakouts can all shift the landscape of your draft. So, stay informed, do your research, and trust your gut. Remember to be flexible, adjust your draft strategy based on how your league mates are drafting, and don't be afraid to take risks. These are the players that I am targeting, but you may have different opinions. The key to winning is to be prepared and adapt. Good luck with your drafts, and may the fantasy football gods be ever in your favor! Now, go out there and dominate your league!
