Fantasy football draft season is quickly approaching, which means it is time to start preparing by participating in mock drafts for our respective formats entering the 2024 NFL season. Here are the results for our 2024 redraft mock in a Superflex full-PPR league.
2024 Redraft Mock Draft in a PPR Superflex Format
1.01) Christian McCaffrey, RB, San Francisco 49ers
One can already hear the collective groans from a mile away by starting this mock off with a non-QB in a Superflex format. But hear me out.
McCaffrey’s 2,023 total yards and 21 touchdowns from scrimmage made him the top-scoring running in a non-PPR by a margin of 100.8 fantasy points over the RB2 overall in 2023. The difference between the QB1 and QB7 last year was 108 fantasy points.
I’d argue the positional advantage of McCaffrey, coupled with the likelihood of two quality QBs still being available at the 2/3 turn, makes him the pick here.
Outside of him approaching the age cliff, there is nothing about his performance or situation that suggests McCaffrey shouldn’t be the top overall selection in fantasy drafts.
1.02) Josh Allen, QB, Buffalo Bills
Fantasy football managers can be susceptible to overreacting when a top quarterback loses an elite receiver. A recent example would be when Tyreek Hill went to the Miami Dolphins.
Well, Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen just lost Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis. This could give some a little pause about placing Allen atop the positional rankings this year.
Before you take such action, here is a quick reminder of his recent fantasy production.
Fantasy Finishes Since 2020
- 2023: QB1 (4,830 total yards & 44 total TDs)
- 2022: QB2 (5,092 total yards & 42 total TDs)
- 2021: QB1 (5,170 total yards & 42 total TDs)
- 2020: QB1 (4,965 total yards & 45 total TDs)
If Allen throwing to the likes of Dalton Kincaid, Khalil Shakir, Curtis Samuel, and Keon Coleman is enough to scare you from investing this type of draft capital in the superstar QB, that is fine. Feel free to take any other signal-caller that fits your fancy.
Yet, Allen rushing for a career-high 15 TDs last proves he can produce monster fantasy numbers with his legs or his arm. He has simply been too consistently excellent to project a significant fall from fantasy stardom in 2024.
1.03) Patrick Mahomes, QB, Kansas City Chiefs
What do you get when you pair two of the fastest receivers in the league with a quarterback who is already entering the GOAT conversation at the age of 28?
To me, that is the recipe for a big bounce-back fantasy campaign this upcoming season.
Look, Patrick Mahomes had a down year in 2023 by his insanely high standards with a makeshift collection of pass catchers throughout the regular season, but he still managed to find a way to win yet another Super Bowl.
Now, add speedsters Hollywood Brown and Xavier Worthy into the mix alongside Travis Kelce and Rashee Rice, and you have not only the potential for Mahomes to have another MVP season, but also give the greatest player in the game a realistic route to a potential QB1 overall finish in 2024.
1.04) CeeDee Lamb, WR, Dallas Cowboys
We make a return trip to the non-QB options at the 1.04 with the only Flex-eligible player to actually outscore McCaffrey last year — Dallas Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb — whose outstanding 135 receptions for 1,749 yards and 12 TDs made him an elite fantasy performer by all metrics and has him positioned again to be the featured player in a high-powered Dallas offense.
Lamb is in search of a new contract at the moment, which could cast a small cloud of uncertainty over his 2024 outlook. Yet, his elite target share, usage in the red zone, and outstanding overall production — with his targets, receptions, yards, and touchdowns all increasing every single year of his NFL career — make him an easy top-five pick in fantasy drafts, even in this format.
1.05) Jalen Hurts, QB, Philadelphia Eagles
The Philadelphia Eagles’ collapse over the back half of the season does give me enough pause to drop Jalen Hurts down the board a slight bit because of his struggles through the air over the last five games of the season. The Oklahoma product threw just four touchdown passes compared to five total turnovers (four INTs and a fumble lost) during that span. Yikes.
Hurts’ 20 turnovers in 2023 were a little concerning, but in a similar fashion to Allen, his rushing production continued to anchor his fantasy excellence as he posted 15 rushing touchdowns last year. For some additional context, Hurts has scored 10+ rushing touchdowns in each of the last three years.
We’ll see how the loss of center Jason Kelce impacts the fantasy football cheat code of the Tush Push this year, but until we see Hurts fail to be a rushing touchdown machine, he is still an excellent fantasy option in any format.
1.06) Lamar Jackson, QB, Baltimore Ravens
If you could guarantee me that Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson will stay healthy for all 17 games of the 2024 NFL campaign, his fantasy ceiling gives him a true argument for the QB1 overall entering draft season.
Jackson’s 3,678 passing yards and 307 completions on 457 attempts were all career highs by a wide margin, helping him earn his second league MVP award.
What is actually a bit crazy is that Jackson could be even better in 2024 with an emerging Zay Flowers and a healthy Mark Andrews.

Did you notice I left something out? Jackson proved he still has the burst to embarrass defenders in open space with 821 rushing yards and five rushing scores last year.
Could Derrick Henry vulture some short-yardage scores away from Jackson? Absolutely. But Gus Edwards did last year and that didn’t stop Jackson from finishing as the QB4 in fantasy football.
Don’t overthink this — Jackson is still an elite fantasy option at QB in 2024.
1.07) Anthony Richardson, QB, Indianapolis Colts
Faith can be defined as having complete trust in someone or something. At times, this faith will come in the form of ranking a player as a top-five option at the QB position without having seen that outcome before.
Why do I have faith Anthony Richardson could live up to these lofty expectations? Well, if his first three games played last year — where he scored 17+ fantasy points in each contest with four rushing touchdowns over that span — are any indication of his future production under center, we could be looking at the next QB1 overall in fantasy football.
Another thing working in Richardson’s favor is the addition of an explosive outside receiver in Adonai Mitchell, who should instantly become a major upgrade over Alec Pierce.
The sky is the limit for Richardson, but this admittedly feels like an aggressive projection based solely on his small but outstanding sample size last season.
1.08) Joe Burrow, QB, Cincinnati Bengals
Doubters of Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow during his football career have often had to eat their words.
Yes, his 2023 production as the QB25, with just 2,309 passing yards and 15 TDs in an injury-riddled 10-game campaign last year, was brutal for fantasy managers. But his fantasy floor, when he is healthy, has been nothing but the elite.
Burrow is still an MVP-caliber talent with a collection of explosive playmakers on the perimeter. Additionally, Burrow cleared 4,500 passing yards with an average of 35 touchdown passes in each of the previous two seasons.
The high floor and fantasy ceiling are still very much within the range of outcomes for one of the best young signal-callers in the league.
1.09) C.J. Stroud, QB, Houston Texans
When you attach a talented alpha receiver like Stefon Diggs to a quarterback who had a historic rookie year, it becomes very easy to understand why Houston Texans QB C.J. Stroud has shot up draft boards heading into 2024.
Admittedly, the 1.09 as the QB7 off the board in the first round of a Superflex format means you are betting your fantasy season on him. But I believe this man is the real deal.
Stroud’s 4,108 passing yards and 23 touchdowns with just five interceptions — which resulted in a QB11 finish — was actually pretty outstanding when you consider the situation he was stepping into with Nico Collins, Tank Dell, Robert Woods, and Dalton Schultz as his top options in the passing game. Plus, he missed two games.
Stroud elevated the Texans’ offense into relevance by pushing the ball downfield with intended-air-yards-per-attempt (9.2) and tight-window throw (24) figures that were amongst the highest in the league.
Stroud flashed a veteran-type savvy while manipulating crowded pockets and throwing with anticipation over the middle of the field. His air yards per attempt suggest he’s willing to push the ball down the field consistently, which pairs incredibly well with his 33.2 passing attempts per game.
If Stroud’s excellent rookie year is simply foreshadowing his bright future as a star in this league, then this ranking may be a bit too low when we look back at the 2024 NFL season.
1.10) Tyreek Hill, WR, Miami Dolphins
It could feel like stealing to draft a player who has produced a minimum of 119 receptions for 1,700+ yards over the last two years with one of the final picks of the first round. Miami Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill does have a legitimate 1.01 overall case regardless of format with his exceptional play and fit in Mike McDaniel’s offensive scheme.
Could age begin to become a factor for a player who is renowned for his revolutionary speed, if he loses even half a step this year? Sure, but his on-field GPS metrics and elite fantasy numbers last year suggest Hill hasn’t lost a step yet.
Ultimately, landing a player who has the type of elite fantasy floor in a revolutionary offense should have you thrilled to nab him here.
1.11) Bijan Robinson, RB, Atlanta Falcons
Despite QBs and WRs being a huge priority in this format, a special player at running back can give you a huge roster advantage at a thin position.
Admittedly, the Atlanta Falcons were a confusing mess last year offensively. Former head coach Arthur Smith’s refusal to feature RB Bijan Robinson was the cause of anger-inducing fits of many shareholders last year. Fortunately, both the head coach and QB position got an upgrade this offseason.
The Falcons addressed the quarterback position by signing veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins to a lucrative four-year deal and using the No. 8 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft on QB Michael Penix Jr., who could act as an insurance policy considering Cousins is still recovering from the torn Achilles he suffered last season.

Additionally, the team hired Zac Robinson, who worked under Sean McVay as a member of the Los Angeles Rams coaching staff last year, as their new offensive coordinator, and the Rams weren’t shy about featuring Kyren Williams as their bell cow in the ground attack in 2023.
Expect Robinson to return on the first-round investment this year with an expanded role in an improved offense that should generate far more scoring opportunities.
1.12) Breece Hall, RB, New York Jets
In full-PPR formats, Breece Hall’s league-leading 76 receptions at the RB position was nothing short of fantasy gold and led to an RB2 overall, with his 1,485 total yards and nine total TDs shining through despite being in one of the worst offenses in the NFL.
Now, we get to add Aaron Rodgers to the mix, and Hall is more than a full year removed from his ACL tear in 2022? Sign me up for Hall as a top-five fantasy back in 2024.
2.01) Ja’Marr Chase, WR, Cincinnati Bengals
Despite setting a career-high with 100 receptions last year, Bengals WR Ja’Marr Chase’s WR11 finish in full-PPR formats still feels like a major disappointment.
Fortunately for those Chase believers out there, his disappointing season could push an elite talent like him all the way to the second round this draft season.
While last year was undoubtedly a down year, I’m still very willing to double down on a player like Chase. He is still in the conversation for the best receiver in the league with his dynamic skill set, and Chase still has Burrow throwing him the football.
Throw in Tee Higgins’ unsettling contract situation, and we could see Chase set a new career high in the receptions department for a second consecutive season.
After the slow start for the entire Cincy offense due to Burrow’s calf injury through the first month of the season, Chase still rattled off three performances with five+ receptions, 100+ yards, and at least one score from Weeks 5 to 10 (five games) to showcase he still has the elite upside that warrants this type of pick.
2.02) Amon-Ra St. Brown, WR, Detroit Lions
One player we don’t have to worry about the level of his quarterback play — or the offense’s output in general — is Detroit Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown, who has improved in each major statistical category every year of his NFL career.
Despite the additions of both Sam LaPorta (TE1 overall) and Jahmyr Gibbs (RB10 overall), who combined for 191 targets last year, St. Brown still posted a career-best season of 119 receptions for 1,515 yards and 10 TDs on 164 targets in 2023.
The exact same cast of characters is returning for this season, which makes it difficult to project a reduced role for the Sun God in 2024.
2.03) Dak Prescott, QB, Dallas Cowboys
Cowboys QB Dak Prescott continues to be a bit of a fantasy football mystery to me. He has generated some exceptionally productive fantasy campaigns throughout his eight years in the NFL, with two top-five finishes at the position, but he has also finished outside of the top 12 at QB on three occasions over the last six years.
Prescott’s 4,516 passing yards and 36 TDs helped the Cowboys lead the league in scoring offense last year. Unfortunately, questions about his offensive line, running game, and weapons outside of Lamb remain heading into a contract year — which doesn’t have me willing to guarantee a repeat finish as the QB3 in 2024.
In this format, Prescott has plenty of upside as your QB1, but he also brings some potential pitfalls if he can’t replicate his excellent efficiency from last year.
2.04) Kyler Murray, QB, Arizona Cardinals
The name Kyler Murray hasn’t exactly been talked about with much excitement in fantasy football circles after he suffered a torn ACL in the back half of the 2022 season.
Yet, after returning to the starting lineup for the rebuilding Arizona Cardinals last year, Murray was the QB9 overall in fantasy football while throwing to WRs like Hollywood Brown and Greg Dortch.
Now, Murray is more than a full year removed from his devastating knee injury and has Marvin Harrison Jr. and Trey McBride as his top targets this upcoming season. He isn’t exactly being overlooked at this price, but he still has an elite fantasy ceiling heading into 2024.
2.05) Jordan Love, QB, Green Bay Packers
Jordan Love may still have quite a ways to go before we start mentioning him in the same breath as Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers, but his 4,159 passing yards and 32 passing TDs helped him finish as the QB5 overall in fantasy football in his first year as the franchise quarterback of the Green Bay Packers. Pretty impressive stuff.
Don’t overlook Love’s rushing production, either. His 247 yards and four scores on the ground suggest he can give you something with his legs on occasion too.
When you consider Love accomplished all of this with one of his best vertical threats in and out of the lineup, his rapport and pass-catchers could actually get even better this upcoming year.
Some pitfalls exist in the form of his rough stretch from Weeks 3-9, when Love was the QB16 overall with just 1,324 passing yards, six passing scores, and eight interceptions. But ultimately, Love’s strong finish and compliment of young ascending weapons make him a worthy pick as a QB1 to pair with Lamb on this squad.
2.06) Jahmyr Gibbs, RB, Detroit Lions
The slow start fantasy managers saw from Jahmyr Gibbs last year saw him finish on a very high note by finishing as the RB10 overall in full-PPR formats with 1,261 yards and 11 rushing TDs and an encouraging 52 receptions.
The one major drawback is his backfield partner — David Montgomery — finished with more carries, rushing yards, and total touchdowns than Gibbs last season. Of all the backs selected ahead of him, none have a threat in their backfield who could see 200+ carries in 2024.
Admittedly, the rushing workload was much closer to a 50-50 split over the back half of the year, with Gibbs still dominating the volume in the passing game during that stretch.
If he sees his role expand enough to see more carries than Montgomery and earn more touches inside the 5-yard line this season, Gibbs could have an RB1 overall fantasy ceiling in 2024.
2.07) Garrett Wilson, WR, New York Jets
This ranking may seem a bit aggressive for a player who hasn’t finished higher than the WR21 in full-PPR formats over his two years in the NFL. Yet, can we add a little bit of context to his production?
We can all agree that catching passes from quarterbacks like Zach Wilson, Trevor Siemian, and Tim Boyle isn’t likely to help you realize your full fantasy potential, correct? Yes.
Can we also all agree that Aaron Rodgers has a lengthy track record of helping elevate dynamic playmakers at receiver to elite top-five fantasy producers at the position during his NFL career? Yes.
I understand Wilson hasn’t done it yet, but let’s not pretend the potential impact of a future Hall of Fame quarterback can’t elevate his game to the next level.
2.08) A.J. Brown, WR, Philadelphia Eagles
If I were slightly a bit higher on Hurts as a passer, A.J. Brown would likely creep into the first-round conversation in this format. Regardless of Hurts’ struggles at the end of last year, Brown has been nothing short of a top-10 producer at the position during his two seasons with the Eagles.
A.J. Brown’s Fantasy Production With the Philadelphia Eagles
- 2023: 106 receptions, 1,456 yards, seven TDs (WR5)
- 2022: 88 receptions, 1,496 yards, 11 TDs (WR6)
Before Lamb went on his tear after Week 5, Brown was already busy rattling off six straight 130+ yard performances from Weeks 3 to 8 as the WR1 overall in fantasy football.
Brown is still in the picture for a WR1 overall fantasy season if new offensive coordinator Kellen Moore can unlock Hurts true potential as a passer and features Brown in this offense.
2.09) Jonathan Taylor, RB, Indianapolis Colts
The RB1 overall finish from a couple of years ago may feel like a distant memory for Indianapolis Colts RB Jonathan Taylor shareholders because of his second consecutive weird fantasy season after a contract holdout that went public and missing four games to start the year.
It wasn’t all bad, though. Taylor finished very strong by scoring a rushing touchdown in his final three games while capping off his 2023 campaign with a 188-yard rushing performance in the season finale.
Taylor is still an elite back in the NFL and could be playing in the best scoring offense of his career if his second-year quarterback elevates the unit among the elite in 2024.
2.10) Justin Jefferson, WR, Minnesota Vikings
The greatness we’ve seen from Minnesota Vikings WR Justin Jefferson through the first three years was so undeniable he received $140 million dollar contract this offseason.
Quite frankly, he deserves every penny. In NFL history, no player has ever compiled more receiving yards under the age of 25 than Jefferson’s 5,899.
The problem with his 2024 outlook is the unknown level of quarterback play with either veteran Sam Darnold or rookie J.J. McCarthy set to take over under center with Cousins now in Atlanta.

Does this mean Jefferson’s production is automatically going to fall off a cliff? Absolutely not. But could his fantasy ceiling be lowered a bit without the reliability of Cousins feeding him the football early, often, and always? Sure, it is within the range of outcomes.
Jefferson is still in the conversation for the best WR in the NFL, but his situation does come with a bit less certainty than some of the other players listed ahead of him on this list.
2.11) Kyren Williams, RB, Los Angeles Rams
When a player is one of two names — the other being McCaffrey — that reside atop the categories of fantasy points per game and total touches per game at a season’s conclusion, you know that’s a player worth getting excited about for fantasy football.
Williams came out of nowhere to finish as the RB4 overall in non-PPR leagues with 1,144 rushing yards and 12 rushing TDs to go with an additional 206 yards and three more scores on 32 receptions last season. It is worth mentioning he did this while missing five games.
If you are scared off by the Rams drafting Blake Corum in the third round, I would suggest you ask yourself this question: What do you feel Corum does definitively better than Williams?
If you have a handful of answers to that question, then don’t draft Williams here.
My ranking makes it clear that Williams offers everything Corum does as a runner but is an exponentially better option in the passing game. That makes it hard for me to believe he is going to get Williams off the field enough to prevent him from being a top-10 fantasy back in 2024.
2.12) Brock Purdy, QB, San Francisco 49ers
I know 49ers QB Brock Purdy is a bit of a polarizing subject, but it does feel a bit disrespectful that he is QB11 off the board in this draft.
Purdy’s QB6 overall finish last season with 4,280 passing yards and 31 TDs lines up exactly with his fantasy production when he first took over the starting role in Week 14 of the 2022 season. Purdy was the fantasy QB6 during that span, which constituted his first five starts in the NFL.

Regardless of your thoughts about his physical tools or lack of rushing upside, Purdy is the perfect orchestrator in an excellent fantasy situation to continue to prove his doubters wrong with another potentially great season under center for the Niners in 2024.
