Who Should I Draft In Fantasy Football 2024? Picks 11-20
The 2024 fantasy football draft season is heating up, leaving millions of team managers thinking one thing: “Who should I draft in fantasy football?” Whether you’re eyeing a workhorse running back or looking for the next breakout star, we’re here to help you draft your squad.
Here, we’ll break down fantasy football draft picks 11-20, including analysis and projections for every player.
Don’t miss our fantasy football picks for the first round (picks 1-10) before digging into these second-round picks.
Remember, you can always put together your own squad with NFLSZN (season-long) lineups on PrizePicks. Just choose more or less on a player's season-long projections to build your squad.
Note that this list is based on point per reception scoring, which PrizePicks uses.
11th Pick — Saquon Barkley, RB, Philadelphia Eagles
Last season, Eagles QB Jalen Hurts had 15 rushing TDs. Now, the Eagles have a RB that can match Hurts physicality in Saquads. It’s been a long long time since Barkley has seen any significant touches that could result in scoring, playing behind an abysmal offensive line in New York.
Hurts being a vulture on the goal line could still be possible, but with a new offensive coordinator and a contract that indicates workhorse potential, we may finally see what this man looks like with a competent offense, and that is a scary thought.
12th Pick — Jahmyr Gibbs, RB, Detroit Lions
The Lions have expressed interest in getting Gibbs more involved in the passing game. While RB David Montgomery is still in Detroit to take some carries away, if Gibbs can maintain his potency — 5.2 YPC in 2023 — and convert a few more red zone targets into points, the upside is crazy.
The Lions should only continue to trust him more in his sophomore season. Even though 2023 was his rookie season, no running back outside of Christian McCaffrey saw more red zone carries or total targets than Gibbs last season. That’s ideal for your PPR RB1.
Definitely keep an eye on Gibbs’ hamstring injury, as it was his second soft-tissue injury of the offseason. It’s not a bad idea to target David Montgomery as a handcuff if he falls to you — he’s a 20+ carry per week RB if Gibbs misses any time.
13th Pick — Jonathan Taylor, RB, Indianapolis Colts
It’s been a while since we’ve seen JT get a full season's worth of workload. Last season, it took him a while to get back into the swing of things, but when he did, it was production warranting an early second-round pick.
The last eight games of the season, he averaged nearly 20 carries a game for 88 yards and eight rushing TDs. With veteran Zach Moss out of the picture and a promising young QB under center, Taylor’s workload and production could be off the charts this season.
14th Pick — Kyren Williams, RB, Los Angeles Rams
Kyren Williams saw more snaps than any other running back last season, with 56.5 snaps a game. He had seven games with 20+ carries, not to mention his 32 catches.
However, the volume proved to be too much, and he ended up missing time with an ankle sprain. Now the Rams got a rookie in Michigan RB Mlake Corum that should allow Williams to stay fresh. Even with a small down tick in snaps, if Williams plays through the season, he’s a very high-upside second-round RB.
15th Pick — Davante Adams, WR, Las Vegas Raiders
Adams' draft price goes down every season, but even as he turns 32 at the end of 2024, he’s still an alpha WR1 on his team. The force feeding shouldn't stop anytime soon, and targets lead to consistent production.
It won’t matter much whether Adams has Aidan O’Connell throwing to him — whom he had a much better connection with at end of season than Jimmy Garoppolo — or Gardner Minshew, who just proved he can make a great fantasy WRs with Michael Pittman in Indianapolis. I can’t bring myself to take a rookie or a question mark before I take Davante.
16th Pick — Travis Etienne Jr., RB, Jacksonville Jaguars
Etienne was the overall RB4 through the first half of the season, then didn’t have a single top ten RB placement in the second half. It didn’t look injury related, so the fall off is questionable. More than anything, it was probably a symptom of Jacksonville’s brutal end of season results, with losses to Tennessee, Tampa Bay, Baltimore, Cleveland, and Jake Browning-led Cincinnati.
If you think you’re drafting first-half of 2023 ETN here, it’s a steal; but last-half ETN would be a fumble. High volume carries and targets still make him a worthy second rounder with virtually no backfield competition after Tank Bigsby's poor rookie season.
17th Pick — Derrick Henry, RB, Baltimore Ravens
Derrick Henry finds himself in a massively upgraded situation for 2024, and yet the King is the cheapest he’s been in a long time in fantasy football drafts. Even with the Titans abysmal offensive line, Henry was top 15 in most meaningful rushing metrics.
What happens when he’s now on a Ravens team that is one of the best in the AFC, and their games and script favors his usage? I’d imagine a monster season is what happens. Gus Edwards had 13 touchdowns last season on this team; to think Henry doesn’t clear that in the same spot would be insane.
18th Pick — Marvin Harrison Jr., WR, Arizona Cardinals
More risky than guys like Davante Adams or Chris Olave, MHJ’s potential easily warrants a second-round pick. QB Kyler Murray has proved he can get a guy to WR1 status with DeAndre Hopkins a few years ago.
While the Cardinals were more run-heavy last season, that could be mainly due to Murray being hurt and them getting him back to speed. One of the most talented WR prospects of the decade, Harrison is a player you’d hate to fade, leaving you on the sideline as he competes for Offensive Rookie of the Year.
19th Pick — Puka Nacua, WR, Los Angeles Rams
Why do I have the man that saved my season and so many others last year this low? Because he was out-targeted 94 to 95 when Cooper Kupp came back from his preseason injury. After Kupp returned, Puka had six games of 50 yards or less.
I have a hard time using my second-round pick on a guy who could be his team's WR2 this coming season, though his route running and catching ability is superb. Unless Kupp goes down again, there’s just too much recency bias bolstering this pick for me to take any earlier than 20th.
20th Pick — Drake London, WR, Atlanta Falcons
I’m happy to take this talent earlier than most and let his game speak for himself. Finally free from a run-heavy scheme and poor QB play, Kirk Cousins will set London free. 150+ targets is not off the table, as we've seen Cousins feed his go to guys across the years.
The 6-foot-4 framed London should also feast in the red zone, with only 6 touchdowns to his name these past two seasons vs his 13 expected, it could be time for positive regression in a potential breakout season.
