The Scott Fish Bowl is in full swing, signaling the approach of the 2024 fantasy football season. Now is the perfect time to start preparing for your redraft leagues. Numerous factors contribute to fantasy players winning their redraft league each year, but the most crucial is drafting players at a value.
Let’s explore six of my favorite draft values based on Sleeper ADP for redraft leagues.
Fantasy Football Draft Values: Sleeper Leagues
Patrick Mahomes (QB – KC)
- Sleeper ADP: 37.1 | QB4
While I advocate waiting to draft a quarterback in a 1QB league this year due to several excellent late-round options, Mahomes is worth considering for an early-round pick. Despite having the worst fantasy season of his career last year, averaging fewer than 20.5 fantasy points per game for the first time as a starter, Mahomes is a bargain as the fourth quarterback in ADP. This offseason, the Chiefs added Marquise Brown and Xavier Worthy, enhancing Mahomes’ value.
Rhamondre Stevenson (RB – NE)
- Sleeper ADP: 69.9 | RB22
Stevenson was a fantasy bust in 2023, but fantasy players should anticipate a comeback season from the former Oklahoma star. Before a season-ending high ankle sprain in Week 13, Stevenson was performing like an elite running back. Throughout his last three healthy games, he averaged 17.3 half-point PPR fantasy points per game and 91 rushing yards. Despite concerns about Antonio Gibson’s arrival, Stevenson will remain the featured back after the Patriots recently signed him to a substantial extension.
Zamir White (RB – LV)
- Sleeper ADP: 81.3 | RB24
White was the RB8, averaging 14.1 half-point PPR fantasy points per game during the four weeks Josh Jacobs missed due to injury last season. Among running backs with at least 30 attempts during those weeks, White had the fourth-highest yards after contact per rushing attempt (3.06), surpassing Christian McCaffrey and Jahmyr Gibbs. More significantly, White averaged 20 touches or more each game and finished with 100 scrimmage yards or more in all but one of them. He is one of my top draft picks for a running back.
Tank Dell (WR – HOU)
- Sleeper ADP: 51.3 | WR26
The NFL’s best group of wide receivers is the one the Texans have. While Houston traded for Stefon Diggs and recently extended Nico Collins, don’t overlook Dell. The dynamic rookie, who averaged 12.9 half-point PPR fantasy points per game, was the WR16 on a points-per-game basis despite missing the final five games of the season due to a broken fibula. He posted a higher average than Davante Adams, DK Metcalf, and Chris Olave. While Collins should be drafted ahead of Dell, Dell is underrated at his WR26 ADP.
Chris Godwin (WR – TB)
- Sleeper ADP: 79.6 | WR38
Fantasy players found it challenging to start Godwin consistently, as he scored 9.6 or fewer half-point PPR fantasy points in 64.7% of his games last season. For the first time since 2018, he also averaged less than 10 fantasy points per game. However, Godwin is poised for a rebound year with the Buccaneers moving him back into the slot. Last season, he averaged 0.41 fantasy points per route run in the slot compared to 0.26 when lined up outside. He is one of my favorite receivers to draft this year.

Pat Freiermuth (TE – PIT)
- Sleeper ADP: 129.9 | TE16
Fantasy owners should give Freiermuth another opportunity in 2024, despite the fact that he just had his worst season ever. The Steelers’ offense should improve significantly after upgrading their quarterback room. Additionally, the appointment of Arthur Smith as the team’s offensive coordinator bodes well for Freiermuth. Last year, the Atlanta Falcons tight ends had a 31.7% overall target share and a 29.3% red zone target share. With Diontae Johnson now in Carolina, Freiermuth could see the volume needed for a breakout season in the final year of his rookie contract.
