The 2024 fantasy football season is approaching fast, which means it’s time for rankings! Below, you’ll find my rankings presented in a widget format, tailored for a 12-team, half-PPR scoring system and organized into tiers (on the half tabs). Make sure you don’t draft without consulting these rankings!
Quick Notes:
- Primarily disregard the ECR information — this refers to Expert Consensus Ranking, and many so-called “experts” do not consistently update their ranks, which can distort the overall rankings. Unfortunately, I can’t remove that column from the widget.
- Feel free to engage in the comments section if you need further clarification on the rankings, want to discuss a specific rank, or have any other inquiries.
