Players That Could Go NUCLEAR in 2024 - Fantasy Football Advice

drafting players that go off is great in fantasy football but sometimes we want just a little bit more we can't help it fantasy football players are greedy by default that's why every single year we're trying to find those players that go nuclear what is going on headliner Nation that's right most fantasy players spend so much time trying to find those late round sleepers we're looking for those guys in the double digit rounds that can exceed expectations but something that's equally as important is drafting the right studs at the start of our draft So today we're going to be going through the current consensus top 12 running backs and wide receivers and discuss their chances at going nuclear I got to find some of those players out there that I can use against you in some best

nuclear pieces so that we can blow this up and let's go ahead and start at the bottom here we're going to work ourselves up to dropping a nuke at the wide receiver position first we'll start at the bottom and when you look at the the consensus top 12 the guy I'm going to continue to have at the bottom there's going to be Brandon auk now I love Brandon auk but does Brandon auk love the San Francisco 49ers at this point I'm not overly convinced plus this team is absolutely stacked on offense he has to split touches each and every week with multiple high-end options we have Christian mcaffrey George KD Debo Samuel they just went out and drafted a couple guys too some guys that I actually like in the NFL draft wide receiver Ricky persol out of Florida and Jacob Coen out of the University of Arizona both those guys highly capable wide receivers maybe at some point we see iuk traded but as of right now he's in San Francisco and has a lot to deal with how about next up let's go up to Chris olve of the New Orleans Saints and he'll find himself a little lower on this list as well really cuz I don't trust the play of Derek Carr right now or the overall New Orleans offense now sure there is room to improve on what we saw him do in 2023 where he had 138 targets 87 catches for 1123 yards and five touchdowns but the growth we need to see from him to have him go nuclear is just a little bit too large for us to have him any higher here on the list next up it's Devonte Adams of the Las Vegas Raiders he's coming off his Worst season since 2019 but no doubt it was due to quarterback play from Jimmy G and Aiden oconnell the problem was not Devonte Adams does it get any better in 2024 that it looks like we're going to have Gardner muu under Center playing quarterback but he's not going to be some Elite quarterback that's going to go out there and help pad stats in the passing game Indiana last season with Gardner muu under Center was barely a top 20 overall passing offense in the NFL and that could be pretty similar this season in Las Vegas plus he also has to share targets with jacobe Meyers newly drafted tight end Brock Bower and newly acquired Michael Gallop out of Dallas now in no way am I sitting here saying Devonte Adams is going to suck in 2024 no he's probably going to have a pretty good year but is he going to go nuclear there's some guys I like a little bit more one of them being the guy directly ahead of him here which is Marvin Harrison Jr rookie wide receiver for the Arizona Cardinals and he's going to be in line to see the most targets of any rookie wide receiver in the NFL this season sure Malik neighbors he's probably going to going to be up there but when you're looking at two wide receivers that are going to be pretty close I'm going to take the quarterbacks as the decision maker and I'm going Kyler Murray over Daniel Jones that and Arizona is going to be trailing a lot in 2024 which means what yes they're going to be throwing the ball a lot each and every week when you look at the overall offense not a whole lot of options after Marvin Harrison Jr now sure we like second-year wide receiver you know Michael Wilson and Trey McBride is there we like but Marvin Harrison J J is going to be the alpha in this offense and has a chance to go nuclear how about AJ Brown just ahead of him now AJ Brown will go nuclear in 2024 it is a given stated fact the problem is is he going to do it for more than like six games a season he just can't seem to find season long consistency since he's been in Philadelphia and it really doesn't help because the offense is so stacked with Devonte Smith Dallas godair and now SA Quan Barkley but if he can put it all together the pieces are absolutely there for him to go off how about puka nakua working our way up the list he's coming off a historic rookie season where he had 160 targets 1,486 yards and six touchdowns but it was kind of like the perfect storm for puka right The Perfect Storm of greatness Kiren Williams missed time Cooper cup Miss time Demarcus Robinson really didn't have a role in this offense till late in the season now this year he's not going to catch anybody off guard as pukan AA he's not going to be a surprise to a lot of people that could really limit his potential upside but the target share alone gives him that opportunity to go nuclear which then brings us up the list to a mon Ross St Brown of the Detroit Lions this dude is averaging 155 targets a year over the last two seasons he just had 1500 yards and 10 touchdowns in 2023 but the emergence of Sam leaport and the possibility of more Jameson Williams in 2024 we could have seen the ceiling of a mon RA in 2023 he may be one of if not the safest early round wide receiver does that mean he has the highest overall ceiling though probably not continue to move up the list it's Garrett Wilson wide receiver of the New York Jets this guy just had a 1,000 yard season with arguably the worst overall quarterback play a team has had in quite some time I don't care how much you dislike Aaron roders he raises the ceiling of Garrett Wilson a ton really the only reason I don't have him h on this list is there is that off chance that Mike Williams is a little bit healthier this year and steals away some of those big plays that and I really don't hate the drafting of wide receiver Malachi Corley out of Western Kentucky he could be a slot nightmare in this offense but I think we can all agree the potential upside for Garrett Wilson we've never seen it and it could be massive now speaking of massive what about Justin Jefferson up next everyone knows what this guy is capable of right he's had a thousand yards receiving in four straight years even though he only played 10 games last season still hit 1,000 yards receiving now can JJ McCarthy or Sam darnold give him the quality targets that we saw Kurt Cousins give Justin Jefferson nearly 80% of the targets that were thrown the way of Justin Jefferson by kurk cousins were deemed catchable and he averaged right around 10 targets per game for his entire career the hope is that JJ McCarthy can do something similar but it's not something we've seen happen yet in the NFL so there's a little bit of unknown there which brings us to our top three and this is what really sets the bomb off the first one here at number three is Jamar Chase of the Cincinnati Bengals burrow is going to be back and healthy every time he comes off injury dude balls out and now we have one less wide receiver in the equation with Tyler Boyd being a free agent over the last three seasons Jamar Chase is averaging six catches for 83 yards a game and has 29 total touchdowns now he gets his quarterback healthy and has a higher Target share Jamar Chase in line to go off this season how about number two it's CD lamb of the Dallas Cowboys and he just had a career year in 2023 last year had a career high in targets receptions receiving yards and touchdowns the overall wide receiver W in fantasy football and now Michael Gallop is gone no longer in Dallas now while I like Jake Ferguson and Brandon Cooks there ain't nobody else on this roster right now that's going to take away a chunk of targets that's going to hurt cidi lamb the dude is going to go off this year which then brings us to the top to spot the guy who's going to set everything off it's Tyreek Hill of the Miami Dolphins backto back years here in Miami he's had at least 170 targets back-to-back Seasons with at least 1,700 yards receiving 20 touchdowns over the last two years and we just saw his head coach hold him accountable at the end of 2023 that right there is going to be an added motivator just because he's one of the highest paid wide receivers in the league his head coach is not giving him any breaks they expect more and I'm not going to be surprised if it happens but all right all right all right now it's time to drop a nuke on the running back position we'll start off on the bottom once again it's Isaiah Pacho running back of the Kansas City Chiefs now we have no idea what is going to happen legally with Rashid rice how many games does he miss does he miss the entire season we really do not know yet but what we do know is this may be the best overall offense that Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs have had in a couple of years now Pacho continues to get banged up just due to his running style alone and we could see momes throwing more in 2024 he has more options available to throw it to it just makes sense now big games are going to be there for Isaiah Pacho but is he going to just take over the league probably not just due to a lack of big volume however the big games will definitely help his fantasy owners which then brings us to Rashad white running back of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and he was a huge surprise for a lot of people in 2023 no one and I mean no one expected him to finish the year as the running back seven overall in fantasy football but Baker kept Tampa Bay moving and really utilized Rashad white each and every week he had a ton of volume 336 total touches in 2023 now everyone knows he's inefficient on the ground he has a career 3.7 yards per carry he's not a very efficient running back we already know that he really helped this team though and boosted his overall production through the pass catching game 70 targets for 64 receptions 549 yards receiving and three touchdowns through the air without that though it would have been a little bit scary now now Tampa Bay just went out and drafted Bucky Irving out of Oregon even though he's not going to challenge Rashad white for early down work he is definitely somebody who could take away some of that pass catching upside Bucky Irving was one of the best pass catching running backs in the nation last year in college could that hurt Rashad white this year potentially however the volume's still going to be pretty high but then we move up to Josh Jacobs next and things were lining up for Josh Jacobs to have an absolute absolutely redonkulous year when he moved to Green Bay then they brought back AJ Dylan on a one-year deal and drafted Marshon Lloyd out of USC now I have no doubt that Josh Jacobs is going to be the rb1 in Green Bay but now the potential massive volume is probably going to take a slight hit as Dylan and Lloyd will more than likely get touches in this offense however Josh Jacobs still highly underrated overall in my opinion this year which will then bring us to jir Gibbs of the Detroit Lions and it took a while but Detroit finally realized what they had with Gibbs and utilized him way more down the stretch of 2023 he will be sitting in the back field once again though with David Montgomery now sure jir Gibbs is the more explosive running back he's the running back with the higher ceiling but he's still going to be splitting touches and because of that he's probably still going to be hovering right around 250 touches a year or so now while that isn't bad it's not enough to go totally nuclear how about Travis etn up next 1,484 total yards and 12 total touchdowns and people don't seem overly excited for Travis etn here this year this offense is absolutely stacked though Christian Kirk Gabe Davis Evan Ingram newly drafted wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr out of LSU the touchdown upside alone is going to be through through the roof for Travis etm and the Jacksonville Jaguars even if the volume is a little bit lower than what we saw last season 325 touches still going to have plenty of opportunity to go out there and explode now speaking of exploding we can't write off Derek Henry he's up next there's no way I can write off the king he went to one of the best run teams in the NFL a team that ran the ball more than any other team last season a team with not a lot of high-end offensive options and a quarterback in Lamar Jackson that Baltimore desperately wants to keep healthy we may see a lower yardage total this year for the king but the touchdowns that he could score could come in bunches which then brings us to Kiron Williams running back for the Los Angeles Rams and people are panicking everywhere because of the addition of Blake korm through the NFL draft I'm not quite panicking just yet though Shawn McVey has already come out and say Hey listen the reason that I love Blake korm so much the reason we chose him in the NFL draft is it desperately reminded them of Kiron Williams and how much they love Kiron Williams this just really tells me that they want somebody of a similar skill set as an insurance policy on their roster in case something happens to Kiron Williams if he were to go down the offense doesn't skip a beat because they basically put his clone in the game now don't overlook what this guy did last year either he finished as the overall running back six in fantasy football despite only playing 12 games all year that sounds nuclear to me which then brings us to sequan Barkley of now the Philadelphia Eagles and if Jaylen Herz and the brotherly shove weren't a thing Squan Barkley may even be higher up this list you have to think that squin is going to approach 300 touches on arguably the best team he's ever been on arguably one of the best offensive lines he's ever ran behind and the best overall offense he's been on for sure now do we see less tush pushes here in 2024 and a higher saquin touchdown total it honestly wouldn't surprise me but we're continuing to climb the list it's bejon Robinson of the Atlanta Falcons and no Arthur Smith in Atlanta should be more than enough because honestly I can't seem Raheem Morris new head coach there holding back beon like he was last season plus you have to think that the addition of Kurt Cousins in this offense is going to give the Falcons more touchdown upside more touchdowns and more touches to bejon is the perfect recipe for an explosion plus they didn't really add any other high-end weapons in this offense unless you consider guys like Darnell Mooney and Ron Del Moore high-end options but honestly I do not which will then bring us to our top three left we're filling the meter we're working our way to a nuke the next one is Jonathan Taylor running back of the ianapolis Colts a great opportunity to bounce back one of the last remaining workhorses in the NFL we have Anthony Richardson back and running the RPO with Jonathan Taylor that could be absolutely deadly plus the Colts have three solid wide receivers in Josh DS Michael Pitman and newly drafted Adonai Mitchell to pull Defenders outside of the box Jonathan Taylor could feast in 2024 then we have Bree Hall running back of the New York Jets and I've been saying this for over a year this would be the year of Bree Hall he's fully healed from his ACL injury a couple seasons ago Aaron roders is back and should be 100% from his Achilles injury as well this guy was just the running back four overall in fantasy football with the worst quarterbacks that we've ever seen assembled in the NFL imagine the points he could score with more touchdown upside in this offense and don't let the draft scare you away from Bree Hall every team needs to have some insurance we just talked about that a little bit earlier with Kiren Williams and that is exactly what brillan Allen is an improved offense for the Jets and all the touches that Bree Hall is going to get the chances are definitely there and then obviously number one it's Christian mcaffrey back-to-back years of a healthy CMC is a thing of beauty and fantasy football the guy is averaging over 22 fantasy points per game just last season one of the best running backs in football on one of the best overall offenses in football is the perfect combination for things to explode now out of all the players we talked about today who do you feel has the best chance to go nuclear in 2024 remember I'm trying to give away a free draft guide
