2024 Fantasy Football Sleepers
Sleeper: A draft term for a NFL player that an owner believes is going to have a breakout season. These are usually players who are not rookies, but they can be.

| Name | Pos | Team | Age | Yrs Exp. |
Pos. Rank |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Zay Flowers | WR | BAL | 25 | 1 | Unranked |
| BREAKOUT CANDIDATE: Flowers is in prime position to be the first 1000-yard wide receiver in Baltimore since Marquise Brown back in 2021. In his rookie season, Flowers ranked 31st in weekly fantasy points and racked up 6.8 targets per game. Flowers is a playmaker who ranked 15th in yards after catch and seventh in generating target separation. Odell Beckham and his... Read More | |||||
| Christian Kirk | WR | SF | 29 | 6 | Unranked |
| Christian Kirk dipped to a 14.1% target share last season as Calvin Ridley emerged as Jacksonville's WR1. With Ridley gone, Kirk is in a position to reclaim his leading role. Kirk's slot usage also dropped but should rebound with the addition of Brian Robinson Jr. and Gabe Davis. Kirk averaged 110 targets from 2021-2022, where he posted WR26 and WR12 finishes. Wit...

Joshua Palmer  |
WR | BUF | 26 | 3 | Unranked |
| Palmer stepped into the spotlight within the Chargers' offense last season, particularly when Mike Williams or Keenan Allen were sidelined. With both now gone from LA, Palmer has a real opportunity to outplay his modest ADP. Palmer maintained a 17.2% target share and averaged 1.89 yards per route run. In games where Williams wasn't fully fit, Palmer averaged 9.5 y... Read More | |||||
| Rashid Shaheed | WR | SEA | 27 | 2 | Unranked |
| Shaheed posted top 20 numbers in points per target (2.07), yards per target (9.6), and yards per catch (15.6) despite seeing just a 13.9% target share in New Orleans. With Michael Thomas (64 targets, 11.9% share) gone, Shaheed will now be counted on to play a larger weekly role in the Saints' offense. In games where he received more than five targets, Shaheed aver... Read More | |||||
| Khalil Shakir | WR | BUF | 26 | 2 | Unranked |
| Khalil Shakir made big strides in his second season, with a pair of 100-yard games. Shakir took on a larger role in the final month of the season, averaging 12.5 fantasy points per game in Buffalo's final five contests (including playoffs). Josh Allen showed a real connection with his young receiver, boasting a league-best 95.6% catchable target rate and 133.6 QB ... Read More | |||||
| Christian Watson | WR | GB | 27 | 2 | Unranked |
| A hot commodity last summer, Watson's faulty hamstrings derailed what was supposed to be his breakout campaign. He missed half the season but once he was fully up to speed, there were flashes of that potential. From Weeks 11-13, Watson played over 80% of snaps, had seven red-zone targets, and finished as the WR32, WR13, and WR8. Entering his third season, Watson i... Read More | |||||
