MIAMI, Aug. 21 (UPI) — Christian McCaffrey, Tyreek Hill and Jonathan Taylor lead my annual Top 200 fantasy football player rankings for 2024. Ja’Marr Chase, CeeDee Lamb, Saquon Barkley, Bijan Robinson, A.J. Brown, Justin Jefferson, Garrett Wilson, Amon-Ra St. Brown, De’Von Achane, Breece Hall and Jahmyr Gibbs are among the other players I would target in the first round. Advertisement
My Top 14 includes seven running backs and seven wide receivers. Check out my individual quarterback, running back and wide receiver rankings for more details about my favorite players at those positions.
Some defensive/special teams units and kickers are listed at the end of my overall Top 200 rankings. Stay tuned for updates to the overall rankings in the coming weeks, as teams trim rosters, players disappoint or impress coaches and injuries occur.
