Brandon Funston and Jake Ciely

Jul 30, 2024

NFL training camps are underway, which can only mean, with apologies to Andy Williams, we’ve arrived at the most wonderful time of the year — fantasy football draft season! Are you ready? Because we are ready to help you get off to a flying start for the 2024 campaign.

In this draft kit, you’ll find everything you need to prep for draft/auction day: rankings, projections, sleepers, stock watch, dynasty advice, player profiles and training camp reports from The Athletic’s NFL writers, and the “bell-cow back” of our yearly preseason coverage — The Cheat Sheet, a fully customizable tool that allows you to input your league rules and settings and get a personalized set of rankings and point projections, all from the mind of the award-winning Jake Ciely, one of the most accurate prognosticators in all of fantasy sports.
