Finding value in your fantasy football draft is crucial for building a championship roster. Here are the top five fantasy football sleepers for the 2024 season, each offering significant upside relative to their Average Draft Position (ADP).
1. DK Metcalf, WR, Seattle Seahawks
ADP: 38.7 (WR21)
Why He’s a Value: Metcalf has consistently finished as a top-20 wide receiver over the past four seasons (WR7, WR12, WR18, WR16). With a new offensive coordinator, Ryan Grubb, who led Washington to a faster-paced offense, Metcalf’s target volume and potential production could exceed his current ADP. Expect him to be a strong WR1 in 2024.
2. Kyler Murray, QB, Arizona Cardinals
ADP: 63.7 (QB8)
Why He’s a Value: Kyler Murray has been a top-8 QB in points per game every season since his rookie year, including two top-four finishes. With the addition of Marvin Harrison Jr., his offensive weapons are better than ever. Murray’s combination of high ceiling and consistent floor makes him a tremendous value at his current ADP.
3. Diontae Johnson, WR, Carolina Panthers
ADP: 89.3 (WR37)
Why He’s a Value: Johnson is stepping into a Carolina offense with significant target vacated by last season’s top targets. Despite his injury history, his productivity when healthy is impressive. Given the volume of targets available and his low ADP, Johnson could easily outperform his draft position.
4. Brian Thomas Jr., WR, Jacksonville Jaguars
ADP: 118.7 (WR49)
Why He’s a Value: As a rookie landing in a high-upside spot with the Jaguars, Thomas has the opportunity to fill a significant role. With many vacated targets and air yards available, he could make an immediate impact and exceed his draft position.
5. Josh Palmer, WR, Los Angeles Chargers
ADP: 156.3 (WR55)
Why He’s a Value: Palmer is in a prime position to capitalize on a high-volume passing attack in Los Angeles. With the most vacated targets in the league and questionable competition for snaps, Palmer’s ADP does not reflect his potential production. His previous performances when given a significant role show that he can be a reliable WR3 or flex play.
Summary
These players represent some of the best values in 2024 drafts, offering potential returns that far exceed their current ADPs. Targeting these sleepers can give you an edge and help you build a more competitive roster.
