Top 2024 Fantasy football breakouts
One of the 2024 Fantasy football breakouts the model is predicting: Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy. Speed is at the heart of the Kansas City dynasty and so it was only fitting that the defending world champions would land Worthy in the 2024 NFL Draft. The Texas product ran the fastest 40-yard dash in the history of the NFL combine (4.21) and was selected No. 28 overall after the Chiefs traded up to get him.
Worthy caught 197 passes for 2,755 yards and 26 touchdowns during his career with the Longhorns and also averaged 14.1 yards per punt return with one touchdown. Now he'll join an offense led by Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid has already made promises to use Worthy to help attack down the field more prolifically in 2024. That's a big reason why the model ranks Worthy ahead of veteran receivers like Jakobi Meyers and Tyler Lockett in its 2024 Fantasy football rankings.
Another breakout that SportsLine's Fantasy football rankings 2024 have identified: Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey. He was the second pick in the second round (No. 34 overall) in the 2024 NFL Draft and will need to be an immediate impact player for the revamped Chargers offense with an entirely new coaching staff. Jim Harbaugh returns to the NFL for the first time since 2014 and is expected to provide a boost to the entire Chargers organization.
McConkey played three seasons at Georgia and, when healthy, showcased his skillset on one of the most talented rosters in college football. McConkey had 478 receiving yards over nine games and the 6-foot receiver was considered one of the top route runners in the 2024 NFL Draft with great vision and acceleration. The Chargers lost Keenan Allen, Mike Williams and the elite pass-catching running back Austin Ekeler this offseason, opening up a ton of targets for a newcomer like McConkey.See which other Fantasy football breakouts 2024 to pick here.
