The 2024 NFL draft is in the rearview mirror, so we now have a very clear picture of how NFL rosters will look heading into the summer months. We're almost fully aware of player personnel, training camp battles and coaching moves, so it's time for the next step ... projecting fantasy player values!

Player rankings are a labor of love for me, and I'll be updating these throughout the remainder of the offseason, into training camps and the preseason contests leading up to the 2024 NFL campaign. What I feel right now about a player (ex. I LOVE Jayden Daniels) might change as I hear reports and see what the versatile rookie quarterback does on the NFL gridiron leading up to the new season.

The same goes for potential depth chart battles, like the one that's inevitably going to occur in the Carolina Panthers backfield. Rookie Jonathon Brooks is the easy answer to lead this team in touches, but Chuba Hubbard and Miles Sanders won't lay down and die. There will be competition, and Brooks is coming off a torn ACL in his final season at Texas. Things change, so keep checking back!

Without further ado, here are the rankings for each position.

  1. 2024 Fantasy Football Quarterback Rankings
  2. 2024 Fantasy Football Running Back Rankings
  3. 2024 Fantasy Football Wide Receiver Rankings
  4. 2024 Fantasy Football Tight End Rankings
  5. 2024 Fantasy Football Kicker Rankings
  6. 2024 Fantasy Football D/ST Rankings
