The NFL regular season is almost in the books, with just one game left to play before the playoffs begin.
Most fantasy football teams have their champions crowned in Week 17, with a few participants basking in the glory while others experience major disappointment.
But which players were in these teams that won the tournament? Which players hold the most fantasy franchises throughout the 2024 season? And it would be nice to know which players are going to get long-term injuries, right?
Hindsight is 20-20, but it’s interesting to see how things turn out after the fact. Christian McCaffrey, for example, was the consensus player in the preseason. However, given the number of games he missed and the output he had in the games he did play, he probably shouldn’t have even been drafted.
FOX Sports Research has done a re-draft of the first five rounds, taking a standard 12-man league— giving each player average points per game from the half and a full point per reception view (PPR).
We also included how many games each player appeared in, which was considered as well as their position value and statistical output.
Players who have not played in at least 11 games are not included in the draft consideration.
