The clock is ticking on the 2024 fantasy football draft window. The Kansas City Chiefs and Baltimore Ravens will open the regular season on Thursday, which means that managers are quickly running out of time for draft prep.

This doesn’t mean, however, that managers need to go into the draft blindly. There’s still time to review the preseason, dive into the transaction wire and identify those coveted draft targets.

Of course, there’s time to study some fantasy rankings as well. Those who don’t want to bother with that, though, can print off or utilize these quick-reference rankings via mobile on draft day.

All rankings and analysis are based on point-per-reception (PPR) scoring.

Sleeper: Justin Herbert, Los Angeles Chargers

It feels strange to call Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert a sleeper, but that’s where we’re at. With an average draft position (ADP) of only 124, Herbert isn’t even being valued as a high-end backup.

That’s the product of L.A. moving on from pass-catchers Keenan Allen, Austin Ekeler, Gerald Everett and Mike Williams this offseason. However, Herbert should still be a viable streamer in 2024.

Herbert probably won’t be as prolific as he was in 2021 or 2022, but his receiving core—which includes Joshua Palmer, DJ Chark Will Dissly and rookie Ladd McConkey—does have quality receiving targets.

And while new head coach Jim Harbaugh is expected to employ a run-heavy offense, that may actually play into Herbert’s strength as a scrambler. While he’s not a true dual-threat in the mold of Jalen Hurts or Josh Allen, Herbert has rushed for 911 yards and 11 touchdowns in four seasons.

22. D’Andre Swift, Chicago Bears

23. Zamir White, Las Vegas Raiders

24. Najee Harris, Pittsburgh Steelers

25. Tony Pollard, Tennessee Titans

Sleeper: Marshawn Lloyd, Green Bay Packers

The Green Bay Packers added 2022 rushing champ Josh Jacobs this offseason, and there’s a good chance that Jacobs will an every-down role this season. However, the ability of rookie MarShawn Lloyd to contribute, especially as a receiving back, shouldn’t be discounted.

While Jacobs showed with the Las Vegas Raiders that he’s perfectly capable of playing all three downs, Packers head coach Matt LaFleur has typically used a two-back approach. That will likely continue this year, as Jacobs’ heavy workload has often resulted in injuries and inefficient stretches.

Lloyd had been dealing with a hamstring injury but wasn’t added to injured reserve or the PUP list during final roster cuts. Teammate and projected No. 2 back AJ Dillon, however, was. He’s out for the year with a neck injury.

Managers should consider Lloyd (ADP of 154.5) a late-round sleeper with mid-level flex or spot-starter potential. He’s also a terrific handcuff for any managers who take Jacobs early in the draft.

14. Michael Pittman Jr., Indianapolis Colts

15. Jaylen Waddle, Miami Dolphins

16. Mike Evans, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

17. Nico Collins, Houston Texans

18. D.J. Moore, Chicago Bears

19. DeVonta Smith, Philadelphia Eagles

20. Brandon Aiyuk, San Francisco 49ers

21. Deebo Samuel, San Francisco 49ers

22. Malik Nabers, New York Giants

23. DK Metcalf, Seattle Seahawks

24. Stefon Diggs, Houston Texans

25. Amari Cooper, Cleveland Browns

Sleeper: Dontayvion Wicks, Green Bay Packers

While the Packers may have their new No. 1 running back in Jacobs, they still don’t have an established No. 1 receiver. That might change this season, though, if second-year wideout Dontayvion Wicks evolves as his quarterback expects.

“I think Dontayvion Wicks is going to have a monster year this year,” Jordan Love said in a Bleacher Report Q&A.

Wicks didn’t have eye-popping numbers as a rookie (39 catches, 589 yards, 4 TDs), but he showed a ton of potential as a playmaker. He has a combination of size (6’1″206 lbs) and ball-tracking ability that could make him Love’s new go-to target.

With an ADP of 160.5, Wicks should be available later in drafts. While he’s far from a slam-dunk target, he’s worth a flier based on upside alone.

11. Dallas Goedert, Philadelphia Eagles

12. David Njoku, Cleveland Browns

13. Dalton Schultz, Houston Texans

14. Pat Freiermuth, Pittsburgh Steelers

15. Luke Musgrave, Green Bay Packers

Sleeper: Zach Ertz, Washington Commanders

Since managers don’t load up on tight ends like they do running backs and receivers, the baseline for a sleeper is a bit different. Managers usually draft one high-end starter and then take a second tight end who is A.) an established starter who can provide insurance or B.) an unproven player with upside.

Washington Commanders second-round rookie Ben Sinnott falls firmly into the second category and has generated some buzz during the preseason. With an ADP of 207 he’s t a late-round sleeper, albeit a trendy one.

Managers shouldn’t discount fellow Commanders tight end Zach Ertz, though. With an ADP of 255.5, he’s even more of a sleeper option, and he’s likely to see a significant role, at least early.

Ertz previously played under Commanders offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury. In 21 games under Kingsbury with the Arizona Cardinals, he averaged roughly five catches and 47 yards per game.
