Fantasy Football Questions: Travis Kelce, Zamir White, Sam LaPorta (2024)

The 2024 season is still a few months away, and that means it’s a great time to prepare for your fantasy football leagues. Much will change between now and opening night on September 5. Let’s look at the biggest fantasy football questions for all 32 NFL teams. And below we dive into a few questions involving notable fantasy football players.

Fantasy Football Questions

KC – Should Travis Kelce be the first tight end drafted?

Kelce’s run finishing as the TE1 ended in 2023. The future Hall of Famer was the TE3, averaging 11.5 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. Unfortunately, he severely struggled in the second half of the season. The veteran was the TE1 over the first seven weeks, averaging 16.8 fantasy points per game. By comparison, he was the TE12, averaging eight fantasy points per game from Week 8 through the end of the year. While Kelce is still a top-five tight end, he shouldn’t be the first one drafted.

LV – Will Zamir White have a featured workload?

After spending most of his career glued to the bench, White was outstanding to end this past season. He was the RB8, averaging 14.1 half-point PPR fantasy points per game during the four weeks Josh Jacobs missed with an injury. More importantly, White had 20 or more touches in all four contests, totaling 100 or more scrimmage yards in all but one game. While the Raiders added Alexander Mattison and Dylan Laube, neither will threaten White’s featured role. He is one of my must-have running back draft targets.

DET – Can Sam LaPorta repeat as the overall TE1?

Tight ends rarely turn into fantasy stars during their rookie season. However, LaPorta was the TE1, averaging 11.5 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. The rookie star scored four more touchdowns than any other tight end. Furthermore, he was one of seven players to have double-digit receiving touchdowns in 2023. The Lions didn’t have much turnover in the offseason. With Ben Johnson back in Detroit, LaPorta will remain a focal point of the offense. He should be the favorite to end the upcoming season as the overall TE1.
