The fantasy football season of 2024 yielded disappointing results for wide receivers, with Deebo Samuel finishing as the WR12 with only 213.7 points. In contrast, running backs dominated the scoring, with 14 of the top 20 non-quarterback scorers being running backs. This shift in performance can be attributed to a series of injuries among top wideout talents while running backs remained relatively healthy.

Terry McLaurin of the Washington Commanders excelled this season, catching 13 touchdowns, while rookies like Brian Thomas Jr. and Malik Nabers made significant impacts. Ja'Marr Chase led the league with a remarkable average of 20 points per game.
