Those who have followed my work for any period of time are probably fully aware that I’m fearless when it comes to my fantasy football convictions. There is no take too bold to proclaim … as long as there is a rational, logical thought process (usually data-driven) that led me to come to that conclusion.
I am human, however … and wrong occasionally, no matter how fiercelessly I will deny ever admitting that to my wife.
Here are six players I’m most terrified to be wrong about in 2024.

My concerns are as follows:
Will Achane see enough volume? Veteran RB Raheem Mostert is back this year, who tied for the league lead in touchdowns last year and was utilized as the team’s primary starter. The Dolphins also added fourth-round rookie Jaylen Wright who…
