NFL training camps are underway, which can only mean, with apologies to Andy Williams, that we’ve arrived at the most wonderful time of the year: fantasy football draft season! Are you ready? Because we’re here to help you get a flying start to your 2024 campaign.

In this draft kit you will find everything you need to prepare for draft/auction day: rankings, projections, dormant players, stock overview, dynasty advice, player profiles and training camp reports from The Athletics‘s NFL writers, and the “bell-cow back” of our annual preseason coverage – The Cheat Sheet, a fully customizable tool that allows you to input your league rules and settings and get a personalized set of rankings and point projections, all from the mind of award-winning Jake Ciely, one of the most accurate predictors in all of fantasy sports.

Remember, this draft kit is always growing, with columns added regularly as the start of the season approaches. Check back often to see what’s new — last year we had over 130 columns to help you prepare.

So enjoy! And be sure to leave any questions or concerns you may have in the comments below.

Thanks for reading! Let the march to a fantasy football league title in 2024 begin now…
