Welcome to the grand unveiling of the 2024 Fantasy Football Forecast, a critical juncture for fantasy football fans, marking the end of 2023 with our sights set on next season!
As we reach the zenith of the 2023 season, I’m thrilled to present the latest edition of the 2024 Fantasy Football Forecast. Let’s dive into a few notable names.
2024 Fantasy Football Draft Advice
Tennessee Titans
What a send-off for the Big Dog. Derrick Henry was particularly outstanding, rushing for 153 yards and a touchdown, including a long run of 69 yards in Week 18.
With a new coaching staff under Brian Callahan coming in, the Titans will surely be looking ahead to their backfield with Tyjae Spears at the forefront alongside Will Levis at quarterback.
In Week 18, Tyjae Spears and Chig Okonkwo (3 targets) were notable contributors in the receiving game, with Spears scoring a receiving touchdown (3 targets) and rushing TD.
Spears is a fascinating player to rank for this season, given that he proved he was good enough as a rookie to split snaps alongside Henry. Spears was consistently used as a receiver OVER Henry, which ensures he will be game-script-proof in what could be a bad season for the Titans’ W-L record in 2024.
Spears was 12th in route participation as a rookie (48%) and 29th in snap share (53%). And there’s no reason to think about how Brian Callahan used Joe Mixon in the passing game in Cincinnati, that Spears should feast as a receiver in an offense devoid of legitimate pass-catchers.
If there’s anybody who can be this year’s Rachaad White, it’s Spears.
DeAndre Hopkins had 10 targets catching 7 for 46 yards and 1 TD in Week 18. Hopkins was the one steady body in the Titans passing game in 2023. He showcased his elite receiving skills with 75 catches on 137 targets (28% target share), amassing 1,057 receiving yards, averaging 14.1 yards per reception.
He proved to be a deep threat with a long reception of 61 yards and 27 catches of 20+ yards. 1,934 total air yards (42%) – the most of any WR during the regular season. 7th in weighted opportunity.
Hopkins found the end zone 7 times, displaying his knack for scoring.
Over 17 games, Hopkins scored a total of 186.1 fantasy points, averaging 10.9 points per game (29th) marking him as a dependable WR2 in fantasy lineups. WR22 overall.
Specifically, with Levis under center, Hopkins posted a 27% target share, 46% air yards share and 13.4 fantasy points per game (WR13). And that came with a sub-50% catch rate.
In a friendlier QB system behind a bad offensive line, you can expect much quicker throws to dramatically boost Levis’s completion rate in 2024.
The Titans are also primed to add another WR through free agency or the draft. Treylon Burks has been a bust. Chris Moore/Nick Westbrook are impending free agents. Is Tee Higgins reuniting with Callahan in Nashville perhaps? The Titans have the cap space (second-most available) to make it happen.
