Way-too-early 2024 fantasy football 12-team first-round mock draft

The Super Bowl is in the rearview mirror, and the NFL offseason is in full swing. But before every team looks to morph and upgrade for 2024, the Yahoo Fantasy Football analysts decided to put together a way-too-early 12-team first-round mock draft — who’s building the best team?

CMC is a tier-of-his-own player, the unchallenged overall RB1. He was the decisive player in 2023 fantasy, leading the NFL in rushing, scrimmage yards and TDs. It’s simply not reasonable to pick anyone else at the top. — Andy Behrens

Any of four different wide receivers would make sense here. I’m content to take the position’s most cartoonishly fast player, a guy who just led the league in receiving yards (1,799) and receiving scores (13). Hill has been utterly unstoppable in Miami, averaging 106.3 yards per game over the past two seasons while catching 70% of his targets. — Behrens

Hall just finished as a top-five fantasy back despite seeing limited snaps over the first month of the season while recovering from knee surgery and playing for a bottom-five offense. With Aaron Rodgers returning, a likely improved Jets offensive line and an unmatched skill set in his prime, Hall is even worth consideration with the first overall pick. — Dalton Del Don

I strongly debated Justin Jefferson here but went with Lamb, who averaged 13.0 targets and 115.3 receiving yards while scoring 13 touchdowns over the final 12 games last season (including the playoffs and following the team’s bye). Lamb should continue to be the focal point of Dallas’ offense in 2024. — Del Don

I fully expect Kirk Cousins to be back with the Vikings, but in the (admittedly unlikely) event he isn’t, my eye is pulled away from Justin Jefferson to Ja’Marr Chase here, like that one meme. I am all in for a Bengals bounceback in 2024. A healthy Joe Burrow-Ja’Marr Chase connection has a claim to be the best in the league and could become even stronger if Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd both leave town. Chase is my pick to be the…
