I was never a huge projections guy as a content creator. It is one thing to rank a player and talk about why a player can be good/bad but it is another to outline what specific statistics you can project them to have for a coming season. Projections are simply educated guesses at the end of the day for what we believe a player can produce. Projections can sometimes be close or sometimes far off but we have to understand that nobody ever gets them all right at the end of the day. Football is a game we try to predict but is a game that surprises us in so many different ways, every single year.
Projections can support player takes when it comes to Fantasy Football. Why is _______ my Fantasy Football _____1? Because I truly believe that he can hit __________ in 2024. Projections can also help us understand player roles, predict breakouts, and separate who to pick in our Fantasy Football Drafts.
The below stat categories matter for 2024 and will be a direct translation to Fantasy Football. I will break them down into several categories and give you the list of players I project to hit that specific stat. The lists are not necessarily in specific order.
