- Christian McCaffrey is the clear number 1. He is on arguably the best offense in the NFC and is surrounded by Deebo, Ayiuk and George Kittle. He totaled 21 TDs and over 2,000 scrimmage yards last year. He is the best running back in the world. Enough said.
- Tyreek Hill – This is where the real discussion begins. There are numerous options at the wide receiver position to plant you flag but the guy is and always be a menace. 119 receptions, 1,800 yards and 13 TDs in 2023. He is the safest WR in the draft.
3. CeeDee Lamb was the #1 WR in 2023 in half-PPR formats averaging 19.7 points per game. He hauled in 135 receptions for over 1,700 yards and 14 total touchdowns. Lamb is the key to the Cowboys offense and will be fed heavily. He is a slam dunk no brainer.
4. Ja’ Marr Case – Joe Burrow to Ja’ Marr Chase is like peanut butter and jelly. They have such a huge upside not only in fantasy but to make a Super Bowl run if healthy. Chase had his high in receptions last season with 100. He has 29 TDs in his first 3 seasons and seems safe in this range.
5. Amon-Ra St. Brown was ridiculous last year. In 2023 he had 119 catches 1,515 yards and 10 TDs. I am not even sure we have scraped the surface of what this Lions offense can do. Goff and St. Brown are here to stay.
6. Justin Jefferson – This is where the discussion gets sticky. Justin Jefferson is the most talented receiver in the league but Kirk Cousins is gone and the Minnesota Vikings will be led by Sam Darnold or a rookie QB in J.J. MCCarthy. His talent is the reason he is so high. However, there is some bust potential here after being the consensus #1 wideout in drafts in 2023. You should draft him with caution.
7. Bijan Robinson – Speaking of Kirk Cousins, the Atlanta Falcons offense could be the offense that has the biggest jump this season. Bijan Robinson was great in 2023 totaling 1,463 yards but the TDs were low with only 4. The Quarterback change will help this offense immensely. I have nothing but respect for the number 8 pick of the 2023 NFL Draft.
8. Breece Hall – When I dropped my top 10 on Twitter without Breece Hall, Jets fans came out in forces to defend his honor. 1,585 yards is elite especially without Aaron Rodgers. He had only 5 TDs but that should go up in 2024. You could flip a coin between Bijan and Breece. The sky is the limit for both running backs.
9. Saquon Barkley – As a Giants fan this one hurts to write. Saquon Barkley left New York and is now on a top 5 offense. Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley, DeVonta Smith and A.J. Brown screams points. Saquon had similar rushing numbers to the aforementioned running backs in 2023 in an offense led by Tommy DeVito and Tyrod Taylor. He’s going to be great.
10. A.J. Brown – Brown has had back to back electric seasons since joining the Eagles. He had 1,496 receiving yards in 2022 and 1,456 yards in 2023. Talent + A Bonafide Offense = Top 10 Material.
