Fantasy Football Draft Targets: Zamir White, Greg Dortch, Chase Brown (2024)

NFL free agency has been in full swing for a week, and it has been quite a ride for many fantasy-relevant players. From the Falcons securing a competent QB to the Steelers securing two QBs with plenty of question marks, fantasy managers will need to sort through the changes in preparation for the 2024 fantasy football season.

We asked several experts which players have seen their stock go up after free agency as well as whose has gone down. Here are each of their 20 Fantasy Football Draft Risers & Fallers. Below we dive into a few notable names.

NFL Free Agency Stock Up

Zamir White (RB – LV)

“The biggest rise has to be Zamir White on the Raiders. The Raiders allowed Josh Jacobs to walk, and the team only brought Ameer Abdullah back into the fold. White showed he could handle a workhorse role at the end of the 2023 season. While the team could draft someone, the draft class is weaker than the last few years. White was a nice asset to have sat on in dynasty, and if all goes well, his already rising value could rise to a top 50 pick in redrafts for 2024.”
– Steven Pintado (The Fantasy Coaches)

“Zamir White has seen his fantasy value skyrocket following the signing of Alexander Mattison. White enters his third NFL season as the clear lead back in Las Vegas after finishing the final four weeks of the 2023 season with 15.2 fantasy points per game. While most of his damage is done on the ground (4.7 yards per carry over the aforementioned period), White is a capable pass-catcher and can serve as a safety valve for whoever lines up under center. Mattison, on the other hand, almost immediately ceded touches to Cam Akers in 2023 only to be released for Ty Chandler and eventually Aaron Jones to lead the Vikings backfield in 2024.”

Greg Dortch (WR – ARI)

“Greg Dortch looked like a fantasy non-factor after a modest 2023 season with 24 catches and 280 yards. But the long-time backup may have a starting slot job after the Cardinals traded Rondale Moore to the Falcons. And Dortch teased a high ceiling with 6.7 catches and 63 yards per game in the seven games Moore missed in 2022.”

Chase Brown (RB – CIN)

“Joe Mixon‘s departure from Cincinnati creates an exciting opportunity for Chase Brown, who looked terrific last season in limited opportunities. Brown had 44 carries for 179 yards and no touchdowns as a rookie, but he was electric when the Bengals used him in the passing game, where he caught 14-of-15 targets for 156 yards and a touchdown. That works out to 10.4 yards per target. Granted, it’s a small sample, but Brown is fast and shifty, and he’s proven capable of handling a big load, having averaged 27.3 carries a game in his final college season at Illinois. The Bengals signed Zack Moss, and it’s possible they’ll draft a running back. But with Mixon out of the picture, Brown is going to get more touches in 2024 and could become a valuable fantasy asset.”
