Fantasy Football Busts to Avoid in 2024

Last year, the model accurately predicted that Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle would fail to live up to his Fantasy football ADP. Waddle’s 2023 Fantasy football ADP was 34.86 overall, and he was the 11th receiver off the board on average. He’d go on to notch a 1,000-yard season but only had 72 receptions with four touchdowns and finished as the No. 34 Fantasy football wide receiver in CBS Sports PPR leagues.

This year, the model has identified several Fantasy football busts to avoid, including Giants running back Devin Singletary. The 26-year-old has produced between 959 and 1,099 scrimmage yards in each of his first five seasons in the NFL and is coming off a career-high 898 rushing yards with the Texans. However, quarterback Daniel Jones is a running threat who could usurp valuable red-zone carries from Singletary.

Another bust that the model has identified is Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson. A fourth-round pick out of Oklahoma in the 2024 NFL Draft, Stevenson had a breakout season in 2022 when he rushed for 1,040 yards and five touchdowns while also catching 69 passes for 421 yards and a score. However, the model predicts that he finishes as RB25.

“The model is powered by the same people who generated projections for all three major Fantasy sites, and it beat human experts last season when there was a big difference in ranking.”

The model is also low on a wide receiver who is being drafted as a top-15 player at his position. The model ranks him outside its top 20 wide receivers for 2024 and expects him to see major regression.
