The NFL preseason is officially underway, giving fans a chance to get an early look at their favorite teams. It is also an opportunity to add another layer to 2024 Fantasy football strategy before going on the clock in Fantasy football 2024 drafts. Giants rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers is generating excitement among New York's fan base after being selected sixth in the 2024 NFL Draft. He has a chance to earn the Giants' WR1 spot, which could turn him into one of the 2024 Fantasy football breakouts. The Giants struggled offensively last season, and tight end Darren Waller, who finished second on the team in receiving yards, retired in the offseason. Should you move Nabers up the 2024 Fantasy football rankings and your 2024 Fantasy football cheat sheets?

Top 2024 Fantasy football picks
The Fantasy football draft bible features 2024 Fantasy football busts, including:
Bijan Robinson, RB, Atlanta Falcons: Robinson ranked inside the top 10 in the NFL in snap share, targets, receptions and receiving yards among running backs, but he was the RB17 in Fantasy points per game. The Falcons deferred to Tyler Allgeier in the red zone, taking scoring opportunities away from Robinson. His Fantasy potential could improve under the new coaching staff, but his ADP is enough to steer White away from Robinson.
"Despite that somewhat disappointing season, his ADP is on the rise this year as a top-three back, meaning we hit on him as a bust if he finishes eighth or worse. Now, there's probably a time in the first round that it's worth grabbing him, but he underperformed enough last season that I'm probably more interested in drafting Jahmyr Gibbs or a receiver when I would take him," White told SportsLine.
Puka Nacua, WR, Los Angeles Rams: The 23-year-old had a historic rookie season, breaking the receptions and receiving yards records for a first-year player. His numbers were not as impressive when Cooper Kupp was on the field though, and the veteran is healthy heading into the 2024 season. Kupp's expected target share is not being adequately accounted for in Fantasy football drafts when it comes to Nacua's ADP.
"Nacua had an unreal target rate in the first four weeks with Kupp out but then averaged 15 PPR points the rest of the way, which is still great -- that's what Brandon Aiyuk scored last year -- but it ranked 17th at the position. That means he played at a pace for much of the year that would qualify him as a bust this year if he matches it. I think it's likely he settles in as a WR2 rather than being a locked-in WR1," White said.Get the full Fantasy football draft guide over at SportsLine.
