The kickoff of the 2024 NFL season is only 100 days away, which gives the unique feeling of being both right around the corner and impossibly far down the road.
In the meantime, to celebrate the beginning of the 100-day countdown, let’s take a look at 10 fantasy football situations to be excited about for the coming season. We’re still writing takes in pencil at this part of the calendar but that doesn’t mean we can’t get our appetite for football and drafts roaring.

The Chiefs’ wide receiver room was a critical and much-discussed issue throughout the 2023 NFL season. The opening game made that reality apparent, and things never got better, even if the emergence of Rahsee Rice stabilized things down the stretch.
Remarkably, despite the persistent issue with the receiver room, the Chiefs triumphed in the grandest stage of them all, the Super Bowl. As we approach the new season, the receiver room appears to have found some stability, even with Rice’s legal issues still unresolved.
Marquise Brown isn’t a true No. 1 receiver, but he’s a veteran starter who is undoubtedly above average. Kansas City hasn’t employed someone who fits that description in years. Xavier Worthy isn’t a flawless prospect, but he brings needed juice and fits the pre-snap motion plays Andy Reid loves to employ. Even Rice, who is expected to be suspended at some point, fits much better as a complementary element rather than a featured piece. He’s an excellent YAC option over the middle, but he fits best in the slot and is employed on a rudimentary route tree. He can stick in that comfortable role with Brown and Worthy in the fold. And of course, all of these guys will revolve around Travis Kelce regarding the target pecking order.
