The Scott Fish Bowl is underway, meaning the 2024 fantasy football season is approaching. Therefore, now is the time to start preparing for your redraft leagues. Many factors go into fantasy players winning their redraft league every year. However, the top factor is drafting players at a value.
Let’s look at six of my favorite draft values based on Sleeper ADP for redraft leagues.

Fantasy Football Draft Values: Sleeper Leagues
Patrick Mahomes (QB – KC)
- Sleeper ADP – 37.1 | QB4
I’m a fan of waiting on drafting a quarterback in a 1QB league this year, with several excellent late-round options for fantasy players. However, anyone who wants to use an early-round pick on a quarterback should target Mahomes. Last year, he had the worst fantasy season of his career, averaging fewer than 20.5 fantasy points per game for the first time as the starting quarterback. Yet, Mahomes is a bargain as the fourth quarterback in ADP after the Chiefs added Marquise Brown and Xavier Worthy this offseason.
Rhamondre Stevenson (RB – NE)
- Sleeper ADP – 69.9 | RB22
Unfortunately, Stevenson was a fantasy bust in 2023. Yet, fantasy players should expect a bounce-back season from the former Oklahoma star. While he struggled last year, Stevenson was playing like an elite running back before suffering a season-ending high ankle sprain in Week 13. The veteran averaged 91 rushing yards and 17.3 half-point PPR fantasy points per game over his final three healthy contests. While some are worried about the arrival of Antonio Gibson, Stevenson will remain the featured back after the Patriots recently signed him to a massive extension.
Zamir White (RB – LV)
- Sleeper ADP – 81.3 | RB24
White was the RB8, averaging 14.1 half-point PPR fantasy points per game during the four weeks Josh Jacobs missed with an injury last season. He had the fourth-highest yards after contact per rushing attempt (3.06) among running backs with at least 30 attempts during those four weeks, ahead of Christian McCaffrey and Jahmyr Gibbs (per Fantasy Points Data). More importantly, White had 20 or more touches in every contest, totaling 100 or more scrimmage yards in all but one game. He is one of my must-have running back draft targets.
Tank Dell (WR – HOU)
- Sleeper ADP – 51.3 | WR26
The Texans have arguably the most talented wide receiver core in the NFL. While Houston traded for Stefon Diggs and recently gave Nico Collins a massive extension, don’t forget about Dell. The explosive rookie missed the final five games of the year with a broken fibula. However, he was the WR16 on a points-per-game basis, averaging 12.9 half-point PPR fantasy points per contest, posting a higher average than Davante Adams, DK Metcalf and Chris Olave. While Collins should get drafted ahead of Dell, he is underrated at his WR26 ADP.
Chris Godwin (WR – TB)
- Sleeper ADP – 79.6 | WR38
Fantasy players struggled with starting Godwin, as he scored 9.6 or fewer half-point PPR fantasy points in 64.7% of the games last season. Furthermore, he averaged under 10 fantasy points per game for the first time since 2018. However, Godwin is prime for a bounce-back year, with the Buccaneers moving him back into the slot. The veteran averaged 0.41 fantasy points per route run in the slot compared to 0.26 lined up outside last season (per Fantasy Points Data). He is one of my favorite receivers to draft his year.
Pat Freiermuth (TE – PIT)
- Sleeper ADP – 129.9 | TE16
While Freiermuth is coming off the worst season of his career, fantasy players should give him another shot in 2024. The Steelers’ offense should be significantly better after upgrading their quarterback room. Furthermore, Arthur Smith taking over as the team’s offensive coordinator is excellent news for Freiermuth. Last year, the Atlanta Falcons tight ends averaged a 31.7% overall target share and a 29.3% red zone target share. With Diontae Johnson in Carolina, Freiermuth could see the volume needed for a breakout season in the final year of his rookie contract.
