Fantasy Football Power Rankings for Every NFL Team (2024)

Whether you are looking to place bets or play fantasy football in the upcoming NFL season, creating power rankings is always a good idea. Power rankings are a staple in the betting industry, but believe it or not, fantasy football experts also use them. Player rankings you use to draft your team are essentially the same as team power rankings except we list them as individual players.

Power Rankings have become increasingly popular across social media; whether you are discussing players, teams, or heck, even fast food restaurants, you can find them anywhere! Today, we are putting together Fantasy Football Power Rankings for all 32 team NFL teams and creating a list of which teams can offer the most fantasy value to the least amount of value.

Fantasy Football Power Rankings

Last year, our own NFL correspondent Matt Barbato put this together and set a few guidelines to place a quantitative parameter on the number of usable or viable starters in a fantasy starting lineup. So, we will piggyback off those guidelines and consider a team’s average implied Team Total for weeks 1-17 because, in most cases, the more points an offense can score, the more fantasy points a player can put up.

Using our Consensus player rankings, Matt defined players as weekly starters as such:

Quarterbacks and Tight Ends ranked inside the Top 15 of their positional rankings.
Running backs ranked in the top 36 (to include players worthy of FLEX consideration)
Wide Receivers ranked inside the Top 50

1. San Francisco 49ers

Weekly Starters: 5
Average Implied Team Total: 26.2 (1st)

This should be no surprise with the 49ers holding the top spot. They have explosive player-makers at nearly every position led by the No. 1 overall pick, Christian McCaffery. Losing Brandon Aiyuk would be a massive loss for this offense after leading the team with a 12.8 yards per target.

2. Miami Dolphins

Weekly Starters:5
Average Implied Team Total: 24.9 (5th)

Despite SF and Miami being among the slowest-paced teams in the NFL last year, they ranked first and second in points per play, yards per play, and explosive play rate per Pat Thorman or Establish The Run.

Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle can be argued as the best WR duo in the league. The backfield is a bit crowded with De’Von Achane, Raheem Mostert, and now Jaylen Wright in the mix. All three can put on a show and fit right in in this track-meet-like offense.

3. Detroit Lions

Weekly Starters: 5
Average Implied Team Total: 25.7 (2nd)

Detroit scored 27.4 points per game (5th NFL) last year behind Dallas, San Francisco, Miami, and Baltimore.

Sam LaPorta is now the No. 1 TE after a record-breaking rookie year. Gibbs and Montgomery are red-zone nightmares. Goff will need other WRs to step up outside of St. Brown. Insert Jameson Williams. Of the Lions’ 17 games, 14 will be played in a dome!

4. Philadelphia Eagles

Weekly Starters: 5
Average Implied Team Total: 24.3 (9th)

The offense should get back on track now that Hurts is healthy and gets an upgrade at offensive coordinator (Kellen Moore). Adding one of the best RBs in the league will also take some stress off Hurts. Both A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith ranked inside the top 20 in their positional rankings.

5. Dallas Cowboys

Weekly Starters: 3
Average Implied Team Toal: 24.3 (8th)

The Cowboys had one of the fastest-paced offenses in the league last year. Dallas led the NFL in points per game last year, but a lot of that was due to their dominant defense, which ranked in the top five in turnovers forced.

6. Houston Texans

Weekly Starters: 6
Average Implied Team Total: 24.2 (11th)

C.J. Stroud earned the 2023 Offensive Rookie of the Year, eclipsing 4,000 yards and throwing 23 touchdowns despite playing behind one of the worst offensive lines in the league and missing Tank Dell for six games. We could see Stroud double his TD output this year with the additions of Joe Mixon and Stefon Diggs.

7. Kansas City Chiefs

Weekly Starters: 6
Average Implied Team Total: 25.5 (3rd)

Looking for the three-peat, the Chiefs made critical additions to the WR room, signing Hollywood Brown and drafting the speedster Xavier Worthy. Production from the WRs should improve significantly. We may see a dip in Kelce’s production strictly based on volume, as the Chiefs said they might scale back Kelce’s snap to keep him healthy and fresh for another playoff run.

8. Baltimore Ravens

Weekly Starters: 4
Average Implied Team Total: 24.6 (7th)

Lamar Jackson should continue to put up career numbers in his second year under OC Todd Monken. Last year, Lamar had a career-high completion rate and yards per pass attempt. We should see some positive regression in his passing TD rate and may see a slight dip in rushing TDs due to the addition of Derrick Henry.

It took until Week 6 for Zay Flowers to see his first touchdown, but he scored five touchdowns in the final five games of the regular season. I’d expect a big leap in his second year.

9. Buffalo Bills

Weekly Starters: 4
Average Implied Team Total: 24.9 (4th)

Josh Allen is undoubtedly the No. 1 fantasy QB in the NFL. Allen has finished QB1 in three of the last four years. WR production is cloudy, as Stefon Diggs was traded away, leaving rookie Keon Coleman, Curtis Samuel, and Khalil Shakir as the starters. Tight end Dalton Kincaid is prime for a significant role in year two and should lead the team in targets, TD, and air yards.

10. Cincinnati Bengals

Weekly Starters: 5
Average Implied Team Total: 24.8 (6th)

This offense only goes as Joe Burrow goes. The Bengals will continue to be pass-first and feature one of the best WR duos in the league. Zack Moss is projected to be the team’s starting RB come Week 1, but Chase Brown continues to climb in ADP, as he shines during training camp.

11. Green Bay Packers

Weekly Starters: 4
Average Implied Team Total: 24.2 (10th)

After what Jordan Love did in the second half of the season, the Packers wasted no time making him the highest-paid QB in the NFL. Love will have a trio of talented WRs to throw to in 2024. Christian Watson, Jayden Reed, or Romeo Doubs could haul in double-digit touchdowns. The Packers will see a dip in production at the RB position after letting Aaron Jones leave and replacing him with Josh Jacobs.

12. Chicago Bears

Weekly Starters: 5
Average Implied Team Total: 23.3 (15th)

The Bears were not going to make the same mistake twice by drafting a quarterback early but not surrounding him with talent. After drafting Caleb Williams No. 1 overall, they traded for veteran Keenan Allen and drafted Rome Odunze. Oh, and they still have D.J. Moore. Per Warren Sharp, the Bears have the third-easiest strength of schedule, which should provide Williams with a smooth transition from college to the pros.

13. Atlanta Falcons

Weekly Starters: 2
Average Implied Team Total: 23.6 (14th)

Atlanta has big expectations after the firing of Arthur Smith and the addition of veteran QB Kirk Cousins. New OC Zac Robinson will bring a Sean McVay style of play to Atlanta. Expect a significant increase in three wide-receiver sets, which should set up well for Drake London and Kyle Pitts. Also, per Raheem Morris, we should see a CMC-type workload for Bijan Robinson.

14. Jacksonville Jaguars

Weekly Starter: 4
Average Implied Team Total: 23.3 (16th)

Christian Kirk is slotted for another big year, as he is Trevor Lawrence‘s most trusted weapon. We are still hoping for a big leap from T-Law, who has yet to surpass 25 TDs in a single season.

15. Arizona Cardinals

Weekly Starters: 4
Average Implied Team Total: 22.1 (20th)

With a healthy Kyler Murray, this offense has top-10 potential. Alongside Marvin Harrison, TE Trey McBride is another budding superstar. McBride’s 17-game pace with Murray would have locked him in as TE1 (113/1,143/4).

16. Washington Commanders

Weekly Starters: 4
Average Implied Team Total: 21 (25th)

Jayden Daniels led the nation in yards per carry last year at LSU while showing off his arm talent at the combine. Daniels is a true dual-threat quarterback with the potential to finish as QB1. With Kliff Kingsbury as Washington’s OC, there is much comparison to how Kyler Murray performed when Kingsbury was the HC in Arizona. Murray finished as QB12 during his rookie year under Kingsbury, and I can see a better outcome for Daniels.

17. Los Angeles Rams

Weekly Starters: 2
Average Implied Team Total: 23.9 (12th)

Anytime a team has Sean McVay as its HC and play caller, you will benefit in the fantasy world. Kyren Williams has earned the trust of his coach after taking control of RB1 duties in 2023. Puka Nacua‘s ADP has slipped a few spots due to his knee injury in camp.

18. New York Jets

Weekly Starters: 2
Average Implied Team Total: 23.7 (13th)

Despite horrific QB play last year, Garrett Wilson still managed to eclipse the 1,000-yard mark but only hauled in three touchdowns. Obviously, a healthy Aaron Rodgers is a huge upgrade, and positive regression should be seen when it comes to finding the endzone. Breece Hall is the consensus RB3 behind CMC and Bijan, and he should also benefit from the QB upgrade.

19. Indianapolis Colts

Weekly Starters: 3
Average Implied Team Total: 22.9 (17th)

Anthony Richardson has the advantage of coming back from injury with the league’s easiest schedule (per Warren Sharp). Before his season-ending shoulder injury, Richardson tallied seven total touchdowns, finishing as a top-four fantasy scorer twice in four weeks. In 2024, he will have quite a few weapons at his disposal, including Michael Pittman, Josh Downs, and rookie Adonai Mitchell.

While Jonathan Taylor is viewed as one of the best running backs in the league, he has missed 13 games over the last two years, mainly due to ankle issues. His dependability is concerning.

20. Cleveland Browns

Weekly Starters: 3
Average Implied Team Total: 22.5 (18th)

New OC Ken Dorsey will bring his pass-happy ways to Cleveland in 2024. Before being fired from Buffalo, the Bills ranked 8th in situation-neutral pass rate (61%) after finishing 5th in 2022. With those stats, it’s no surprise the Browns decided to trade for Jerry Jeudy. Jeudy, Amari Cooper, David Njoku, and, of course, Deshaun Watson will be the biggest beneficiaries of Dorsey’s new playcalling.

21. Seattle Seahawks

Weekly Starters: 4
Average Implied Team Total: 22.3 (19th)

Seattle has the playmakers back. DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Noah Fant, and Kenneth Walker rank among the top-150 players, but Geno Smith‘s play comprises their output. The good news is that new OC Ryan Grubb will not be afraid to air it out. The Washington Huskies finished second in the nation in passing yards per game in 2022 and 2023.

22. Minnesota Vikings

Weekly Starters: 4
Average Implied Team Total: 21.6 (23rd)

After being considered the No. 1 overall pick in drafts last year, Justin Jefferson is now falling to the middle of the first round strictly due to his quarterback. J.J. McCarthy will miss the entire 2024 season after undergoing a meniscus repair, and now the Vikings will rely on veteran Sam Darnold. Darnold’s ceiling is much lower than McCarthy’s, so I won’t be surprised if we see Jetta fall further down draft boards.

23. Tennessee Titans

Weekly Starters: 4
Average Implied Team Total: 20.7 (28th)

While the Titans may be in rebuild mode, this is one of my favorite teams to stack. Under new head coach Brian Callahan, Tennessee is expected to have a pass-heavy offense. While Callahan was the Bengals’ OC, they ranked second in situation-neutral pass rate.

While Will Levis had very few bright spots last season in a limited time, Callahan will let him rip it down the field to a revamped WR room that includes Calvin Ridley, DeAndre Hopkins, and Tyler Boyd. A pass-heavy offense should also bode well for pass-catching running backs Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears.

24. New Orleans Saints

Weekly Starters: 2
Average Implied Team Total: 21.1 (24th)

The Saints are finally moving on from Pete Carmichael’s stale, boring offense and bringing in Klint Kubiak — Kyle Shanahan’s 2023 Passing Game Coordinator — as the new OC. Kubiak should make a world of difference in this offense after learning under Shanahan in 2023. Bringing in a Shanahan-style offense will feature a lot more pre-snap motion, giving guys like Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed more of an advantage.

25. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Weekly Starters: 3
Average Implied Team Total: 21.8 (22nd)

Despite making the playoffs in 2023, this offense finished in the bottom third in Success Rate, and I think Baker Mayfield and the Buccs take a step back in 2024. Mike Evans is worth his ADP price due to the sheer volume of targets, while Rachaad White will be the bell-cow of this backfield once again. The only notable competition for White is fourth-rounder Bucky Irving.

26. Pittsburgh Steelers

Weekly Starters: 4
Average Implied Team Total: 21 (26th)

Despite having four viable starters, Pittsburgh’s average implied team total is 21. A lot of that has to do with new OC Arthur Smith calling the shots with a below-average quarterback room.

No team had a higher run rate (46.3%) than the Falcons did under Arthur Smith. I am assuming we will see something similar in Pittsburgh with Najee Harris leading the way. Jaylen Warren is also someone to consider when drafting your teams. He will be the guy on passing downs but has also established himself as one of the more efficient running backs, averaging 5.3 yards per carry.

The passing game worries a bit with Russell Wilson and Justin Fields behind center. George Pickens would be the only pass catcher I’d care to have this season.

27. Las Vegas Raiders

Weekly Starters: 4
Average Implied Team Total: 20.7 (27th)

The Raiders are another team with four viable starters but a meager implied team total. The Raiders’ defense should be better than most, but this offense will need help scoring points again with Aidan O’Connell and Gardner Minshew at QB.

Zamir White is of interest to me, as he took on most of the work under Antonio Pierce. Over the last four weeks of the season, White had touch counts of 20, 22, 25, and 26 with snap rates of 70%, 76%, 57%, and 73%. With any other quarterback in the league, Davante Adams could make a case as a first-round pick but now has an ADP of 17.7.

28. New York Giants

Weekly Starters: 2
Average Implied Team Total: 20.1 (29th)

Outside of rookie Malik Nabers, I personally don’t want much to do with this Giants offense. Daniel Jones previously had rushing upside, but, according to Pat Thorman of ETR, quarterback rushing opportunities have decreased by 20%.

29. Denver Broncos

Weekly Starters: 2
Average Implied Team Total: 19.5 (31st)

Last year, the Broncos scored 21 points per game (20th). This year, I’d expect more of the same results with a possible uptick in production in Sean Payton’s second year. Based on last year’s play calling, the Broncos will continue with the quick passing attack. They drafted Oregon’s Bo Nix, who completed nearly 75% of his passes as a Duck.

Nix proved he could handle the blitz and pressure as he had PFF’s #1 passing grade under pressure among draft-eligible QBs. With his ability to extend plays with his feet, Nix is worth a roster spot in deeper leagues and all SuperFlex leagues.

30. Carolina Panthers

Weekly Starters: 2
Average Implied Team Total: 19.5 (30th)

Things can’t get much worse for the Panthers. Upgrading the OL and WR positions is a huge step in the right direction, and hiring Dave Canales should bode well for Bryce Young. Canales was able to resurrect the careers of Geno Smith and Baker Mayfield. Dionte Johnson should be the primary target from the Panthers’ offense, while rookie WR Xavier Legette will offer big-play ability.

31. Los Angeles Chargers

Weekly Starters: 1
Average Implied Team Total: 22 (21st)

The Chargers are one of two teams with only one viable starter this season: WR Josh Palmer. After Trading Keenan Allen and letting Mike Williams leave via free agency, Palmer is acting as WR1. Despite Palmer being the No. 1 target, I’d still consider other WR in his ADP range. I don’t see Palmer making a big difference for many fantasy teams.

32. New England Patriots

Weekly Starters: 1
Average Implied Team Total: 18.9 (32nd)

I’d expect the Patriots to be in a prime position to have the No. 1 overall pick in next year’s draft. There are a few bright spots on the defensive side of the ball, but this offense will be atrocious. The lone viable starter is RB Rhamondre Stevenson. Despite becoming the seventh-highest paid running back this offseason, Stevenson’s upside is minimal due to the subpar environment and the addition of Antonio Gibson, who will take over in most passing situations.
