San Francisco’s Fantasy Football: Top Safe Picks for 2024 Yahoo Drafts

San Francisco’s Fantasy Football Fun: Safe Picks for 2024 Yahoo Drafts!

Hey there, fantasy football fans! As we gear up for the 2024 Yahoo drafts, it’s time to chat about how to build that dream team. We’re talking about striking a balance between thrilling high-risk players and those reliable workhorses who’ll keep your lineup steady. So, let’s jump into the safest picks for each round, specifically tailored for 10-team, 0.5 PPR (that’s points per reception for the uninitiated) formats. Buckle up!

Round 1: Go with the Cheetah!

When it comes to Round 1, Tyreek Hill is the name on everyone’s lips. Sure, Christian McCaffrey was the fantasy points king for non-QBs last year, racking up staggering numbers. But let’s talk about safety. With Hill averaging more than 1,600 scrimmage yards, over 110 receptions, and around 10 total touchdowns for the last three seasons, he’s practically unguardable! Plus, he’s strutting his stuff in the NFL’s most explosive offense, scoring top-three fantasy points per game the last two seasons. It’s hard to argue against that! If you’re looking for a sure thing, he’s your guy.

Round 2: Pacheco Pops Up!

Now, into Round 2, let’s get real. The RB landscape looks a bit shaky—a mix of players coming off injuries and fading stars. That’s where Isiah Pacheco swoops in. He’s a three-down back, with his receiving work only going up. Talk about peace of mind! Pacheco has that sweet blend of age, opportunity, and upside that you can bank on. If you’re not feeling the injury risk of guys like Puka Nacua or Jahmyr Gibbs, he’s the safest bet here.

Round 3: Josh Allen’s Consistency

Heading into Round 3, how can you overlook Josh Allen? He’s been a fantasy beast and is the king of dual-threat QBs. Expect around 4,200 passing yards and 500 rushing yards. With him, you can literally set your lineup and forget it until the playoffs. Plus, his red-zone role is untouchable, so he’s got the potential for 10+ rushing TDs this season. In other words, snag him while you can!

Round 4: Mix It Up With Mixon

In Round 4, don’t sleep on Joe Mixon. He’s been making a name for himself with a solid paycheck, despite a less-than-stellar rushing average last year. He’s still finishing strong in the top-12 RBs for fantasy points per game. Joining a rising Texans offense? Yes, please! You’ll want him around to potentially rack up 1,200 scrimmage yards and flirt with double-digit touchdowns.

Round 5: Smith’s Stability

Round 5 brings us DeVonta Smith. This guy has a solid track record, averaging 1,000 yards and notching up at least six touchdowns. The best part? He’s barely missed any games in his first three seasons. With Kellen Moore calling the shots, expect him to get more freedom and volume this year.

Round 6: Kittle Isn’t Done Yet

Okay, let’s talk tight ends. George Kittle might still be on the board in Round 6. He’s a top-tier TE, no doubt! With a performance of 65 receptions for over 1,000 yards last season, he’s always a solid option if you didn’t snag a TE earlier. Trust me; he’s got the chops to finish in the top five again.

Round 7: Ground It Heavy With White

In Round 7, time to beef up that backfield! Rachaad White is poised to be the expected RB1 for a run-heavy Raiders team. With an average of 99.3 rushing yards per game when he took over last season, he’s the perfect anchor. Forget about the aging players; White has the potential to carry the weight for your squad.

Round 8: McLaurin’s Moment

Let’s slide into Round 8 with Terry McLaurin. With plenty of targets on the open market, he’s got the golden opportunity to shine. Over the last four seasons, he’s cranked out 1,000 yards and at least 77 receptions each year, and with a new QB but a lot of promise, this could be his breakout year!

Round 9: Chris Godwin’s Consistency

Finally, at Round 9, how about grabbing Chris Godwin? He’s been a reliable choice with three consecutive 1,000-yard seasons and a little room for touchdown growth after last year’s low count. Seriously, pass on defenses and kickers until later. You’ll want to take Godwin here!

Final Thoughts

As you prepare for your drafts, keep these safe picks in mind. They’re about blending reliability with star potential to create a strong roster you can count on throughout the season. Good luck, and may your fantasy team reign supreme this year!
