The 2024 fantasy football season saw several high-profile players underperform, leading to disappointment for managers who invested early draft picks in them. Among the most notable was Breece Hall of the New York Jets, who, despite being drafted as a top-five pick, finished as the RB18. His decline in rushing efficiency raised questions about the Jets' offensive capabilities.
Marvin Harrison Jr. of the Arizona Cardinals was another letdown, finishing as WR43 after being drafted as WR9. Despite flashes of brilliance, he couldn't consistently deliver the expected fantasy value. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes, selected as the QB2, ended up as QB11, which left many managers regretting their decision to pass on other potential stars.
Wide receiver DK Metcalf and tight end Dalton Kincaid also failed to meet expectations, with Metcalf finishing as WR35 and Kincaid as TE21. The Miami Dolphins' Raheem Mostert, drafted as RB22, provided little value, finishing as RB54 amidst an underwhelming season for the team. Even the legendary kicker Justin Tucker struggled, finishing as K17 after a career-low field goal percentage.
Overall, the fantasy landscape was dotted with disappointments, prompting managers to reconsider their strategies in upcoming drafts.
