NFL Fantasy: Every NFC team’s most valuable fantasy asset

Fantasy draft season is nearly upon us, so now is the time to focus and start preparing your big boards for the season ahead. To give you a little bit of inspiration, we thought it would be helpful to compile a list of every NFC team's most valuable fantasy asset, so let's take a look.

ESPN has Lamb as their number-one-ranked fantasy wide receiver for PPR leagues in 2024, and we completely agree. He's a monster of a player and will rack up catches, yards, and TDs, even if the Cowboys have a down year.

If the Commanders hadn't signed Austin Ekeler, we would have selected Brian Robinson Jr. here, but they did, so we didn't. McLaurin is a solid selection who will never blow you away but he rarely does anything fantasy-wise, he's usually available as late as the fourth or fifth round too.

Remarkably, Devin Singletary averages 4.6 YPC over his career, per Pro Football Reference, and is essentially the Giants' only offensive weapon of note who has a chance to do anything in 2024 (please get Malik Nabers a real QB). As Bleacher Report puts it, Singletary is "an ideal later-round target for Zero RB" enthusiasts this season.

Hurts has 38 rushing TDs over the past three seasons, per ESPN, making him a fantasy football monster. If he is still leaning on the infamous “Tush Push”, he should be looking at similar numbers again. There is a risk that a re-worked offensive line and the addition of Saquon Barkley nullifies Hurts' effectiveness in short yardage.

Moore is coming off a 96-catch, 1,364-yard season in which he also caught eight TDs and ESPN has him ranked as WR20 on their consensus big board, now that's value.

Gibbs will be looking to prove any remaining doubters wrong in 2024 by becoming the focal point of the Lions' rushing attack. If he does so, he could be set for a huge year and should be available late in the first round or early in the second.

There are almost too many options for the Packers to choose from, but Josh Jacobs, ranked 15th by ESPN, could offer tremendous value. He should be facing light boxes given the Packers' formidable passing attack and with just AJ Dillon behind him, looks set to be a bellcow option.

Jefferson is in the elite tier of fantasy wide receivers alongside Tyreek Hill and the aforementioned CeeDee Lamb, if you're picking in the top five, there's a good chance you will be in a position to take Jefferson, and you should, he really is that good.

When researching this piece, we were a little shocked to see Darnell Mooney is only two years removed from a 1,000-yard season, per ESPN. If Kirk Cousins ​​starts, and with defenses focusing their attention on Drake London and Kyle Pitts, Mooney could be a great late-round WR3 selection.

I guess? The Saints offense doesn't look good on paper, with the mediocre Derek Carr handing off to a past-it Alvin Kamara and throwing to basically only Olave. If the former OSU Buckeye can stay healthy, he could be in line for bulk targets.

The most consistent wide receiver in football over the past decade, Mike Evans will probably drop into the mid-late second round, making him a great selection for people picking early in the first. As Bleacher Report writes, “he has given zero indication that any significant drop-off is coming anytime soon,” so there are no age concerns either.

If you are forced into selecting Thielen, we hope he's in a PPR league, otherwise he isn't offering a lot. Still, he caught 103 passes last year which is a remarkable feat as he only just eclipsed 1,000 yards, per PFR. Honestly, this offense stinks, poor Bryce Young.

ESPN consensus WR13 could prove to be the steal of the draft if he's as pro-ready as he showcased during his college career . With a healthy Kyler Murray throwing him the ball, this could be an exciting offense.

Puka Nacua will presumably be the number one target for Matthew Stafford in 2024 making Kupp a potential value pick somewhere around the fourth round. Last season he put up 737 yards and five TDs in just 12 games, per ESPN, so if he's healthy for the entire season he could be a solid WR2.

Some really hard-hitting fantasy analysis here, as we tell you the obvious number one pick in most drafts is the most valuable player on their team. Well, what can we say, he's the best running back in football and in fantasy, and you should treat him as such.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba caught 63 passes for 628 yards and four TDs last season, making it a quietly excellent rookie campaign. If he can take the next step and become Geno Smith's number two target consistently, he could be on track for a big year.
