Top 2024 Fantasy football picks
The Fantasy football draft bible features 2024 Fantasy football busts, including:
Saquon Barkley, RB, Philadelphia Eagles: It has been a rocky road for the talented RB, who is starting his first season in the City of Brotherly Love. He will have RB1 duties in Philadelphia, but there is concern regarding touchdown-scoring chances since Jalen Hurts likes to get the ball in the air or run it into the endzone himself.
"If Barkley only winds up with three to five rushing TDs, he's going to have to smash in yardage to finish top 10 at the position," White told SportsLine.
Trey McBride, TE, Arizona Cardinals: McBride's production had an uptick at the end of last season and he is expected to get more work now that Zach Ertz is no longer on the team. However, he will also be competing with Marvin Harrison Jr. for targets, and it isn't 100% given that he can spread that high production over an entire season.
"I expect McBride to have a pretty solid season, but it's possible either he or Marvin Harrison Jr. fails to live up to lofty expectations, and if McBride goes back to his usage in the passing game for the early part of the season and starts seeing around five targets per game, it's going to be hard to finish high enough to avoid being a bust. We'll see what the plan is to keep them both involved, but I'm likely out on drafting McBride this year," White said.Get the full Fantasy football draft guide over at SportsLine.
