2024 Fantasy Football Draft Advice

Fantasy Football Draft Outlook

Jayden Daniels (WAS)

Let’s get this out of the way. If Daniels starts every game this season, his rushing equity alone will push him into the top 12 of fantasy quarterbacks. In his final season at LSU, Daniels rushed for 1,134, and now he’s paired with an offensive coordinator who is quite familiar with game planning with a mobile quarterback. Kliff Kingsbury’s offense will feature play-action and deep passing, which are two of Daniels’ stand-out strengths. At the height of Kyler Murray’s powers under Kliff Kingsbury (2021), he ranked fifth in deep ball rate and 11th in play-action dropback rate. In 2023, Daniels led all collegiate passers in deep passing grade and deep adjusted completion rate while also ranking fourth in play-action passing grade. Daniels is the best argument for waiting on a quarterback in your drafts.

Trevor Lawrence (JAC)

I love Lawrence in fantasy football this season. All we need is health and regression to the mean, and Lawrence should take off. Last year, Lawrence battled a sprained MCL, ankle sprain, concussion, and bruised right shoulder. It’s fair to question if we saw a healthy version of Lawrence after Week 6. Despite all of this, Lawrence was the QB13 in fantasy points per game (QB7 in expected fantasy points per game) while ranking 14th in CPOE and seventh in highly accurate throw rate (per Fantasy Points Data). This offseason, Jacksonville restocked Lawrence’s weapon cupboard despite losing Calvin Ridley to free agency. The Jags signed Gabriel Davis and drafted Brian Thomas Jr. to stretch the field and open up the middle of the field for Christian Kirk and Evan Engram. With these additions, we could see this offense pass aggressively. In Weeks 11-18, Jacksonville ranked seventh in neutral passing rate and 10th in red zone passing rate. The needle is pointing upward for Lawrence for 2024.

Geno Smith (SEA)

After a triumphant 2022 season in which he threw for 4,282 yards and 30 touchdowns, completing an NFL-high 69.8% of his passes, Geno Smith floated back down to earth in 2023. Despite working with the WR trio of D.K. Metcalf, Tyler Lockett and Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Smith finished QB25 in fantasy scoring last year, averaging 15.3 fantasy points per game. So … will the real Geno Smith please stand up? With Seattle’s ample pass-catching weaponry, a return to the heights of 2022 is certainly possible for Smith. But the 33-year-old Smith has only had one good NFL season, so it’s not inconceivable that he could play his way out of a starting job.
