Rankings Updated 8-14-2024 - after first week of preseason action Have you noticed other 2024 Fantasy Football Magazines and Fantasy Football Books recycle the same information, the same sleepers and the same tiers? This is because they’re all using the same information: last year’s stats! A few years ago, I was like everyone else. I scoured the Internet and Fantasy Football publications searching for any advantage. I found myself reading 10-15 different books that all told me the same things. Worse yet, they were telling my competition as well. That’s when “sleeper” picks become overhyped and over drafted. To avoid draft day misses, I knew I had to dig into the data. I knew I had to watch film and after a while, I came to realize Fantasy Football success comes from knowing the offensive schemes and how a player’s talent will be used in an offense. This is why the Fantasy Football Almanac projects players based on offensive scheme fit, not past performance. Think about this. If all my Fantasy Football Almanac and Draft Guide did was tell you about one undervalued player who is so far forgotten you could draft him and start him in the last round, would it be worth it? Last year, the Fantasy Football Almanac urged our readers to draft De’Von Achane and Sam LaPorta when their average draft position had them undrafted. Readers of our free update services were also told to pick up RB Kenyan Williams (a 2024 breakout) from waivers before the season started. The Almanac was first and our readers were set up for success. Or if all this Fantasy Football Almanac and Draft Guide did was keep you from using your early draft picks on season-long busts? This is more than a fantasy football magazine. It’s a fantasy football scouting agency. We blend next-gen sports analytics with good old fashion film study. I literally watch every single preseason game in order to properly calibrate this guide’s rankings throughout the offseason. T
