Fantasy football breakouts for 2024: QBs, RBs, WRs, TEs

From first-round picks to undrafted gems and everywhere in between, fantasy football playoff and championship teams are constructed from a wide variety of players, although most cores include those selected early on.

These potential breakout players have youth on their side, an ADP from the fifth to the 10th rounds and are ranked notably higher than their ADP.

Breakout quarterbacks for 2024

• Jayden Daniels could break fantasy football: Daniels scrambles at a rate far higher than any other quarterback, which could lead to elite fantasy production.

• Trevor Lawrence is in an upgraded offense: The Jacksonville Jaguars helped Lawrence with two new wide receivers, which could push him to being a top-12 fantasy quarterback.

Breakout tight ends for 2024

• Kyle Pitts had a lot working against him: Pitts was rotated out more than nearly all starting tight ends. He also had an abnormally high average target depth and played with quarterbacks who struggled to throw accurate intermediate and deep passes.

• Jake Ferguson improved throughout 2023: He wasn’t a fantasy starter the first few weeks of the season but was consistent down the stretch and saved his best performance for the playoffs.
