Fantasy Football Predictions: Amon-Ra St. Brown, Tyreek Hill, Garrett Wilson (2024)

When Fantasy football experts put together their redraft rankings, several factors determine how they rank each player. However, that doesn’t mean how the experts think the upcoming season will go. For example, an expert’s top-12 wide receiver rankings aren’t necessarily how they feel wide receivers will finish in 2024.

The rankings include upside, floor, injury risk, and more. Instead of providing my top-12 wide receiver rankings for the upcoming season, I will look into my fictional crystal ball and predict how the top-12 wide receivers will finish the 2024 fantasy football season. Here are a few WR1s in my 2024 fantasy football predictions.

Predicting Top-12 Wide Receivers

Amon-Ra St. Brown (DET)

The former USC star finished as the WR8 in 2022 and the WR3 last year, averaging 15.2 half-point PPR fantasy points per game over those two years. Furthermore, St. Brown is coming off the best season of his career, setting career highs in several categories, including receiving touchdowns (10). More importantly, he is the focal point of the Lions’ passing attack, posting the sixth-highest target share (27.9%) and the fourth-highest target per route run rate (30%) among wide receivers with at least 70 routes in 2023 (per Fantasy Points Data).

Tyreek Hill (MIA)

Some are concerned Hill might start to regress after turning 30 years old in the offseason. Furthermore, the veteran had some injuries at the end of last year. However, the superstar was the WR2 in 2023, averaging 19.8 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. He scored 20.3 or more fantasy points in 75% of the games before getting hurt in Week 14. Hopefully, Jaylen Waddle can rebound after an injury-riddled 2023 season. Yet, Hill was the WR3 in 2022 despite Waddle finishing as the WR13.

Garrett Wilson (NYJ)

Fantasy players had high hopes for Wilson after the Jets traded for Aaron Rodgers. Unfortunately, Rodgers suffered a torn Achilles four snaps into the season. Wilson was the WR32 last year, averaging only 9.7 half-point PPR fantasy points per game with awful quarterback play. However, fantasy players should expect him to finally break out in 2024, with Rodgers returning and the team massively improving their offensive line while making limited additions to their receiving core. Wilson could become Rodgers’ new Davante Adams and lead the NFL in targets.
