Now that you've got lists of sleepers, a look at the DO NOT DRAFT list (and a DO DRAFT list!), it's time to talk fantasy football draft strategy for 2024.

For the past few years, we've helped you with that every thing: a breakdown of each of the first-round picks you might have in a snake draft as a guide to what you should do with them in the first three rounds. After that? You’re on your own — the rules of your league may be different and your strategy may change.

So let's run through what to do from picks No. 1 to 12:

1. First pick

Yep, you're taking Christian McCaffrey. Zero doubt about it.

At picks 24 and 25 in a twelve-team league, you'll probably want to go wide receiver and wide receiver, although you could think about Sam LaPorta here if you think having the top tight end is a big advantage.

Me? I'd go, say, Nico Collins and Jaylen Waddle.

2. Second pick

Let's assume CeeDee Lamb gets his contract extension from the Cowboys (we're waiting, Jerry Jones!). If so, you'll take the star receiver here.

With 23 and 26 and a receiver on your roster, you have options: do you feel Travis Etienne Jr. can have another big season? Do you take Jalen Hurts or Josh Allen if they're still there? I'm undoubtedly taking a receiver with one of these picks.

3. Third pick

Tyreek Hill is still in that amazing Dolphins offense and is still in his prime. One of the safest picks in the draft.

For picks 22 and 27, I might go Etienne and LaPorta, or Michael Pittman Jr. if he's there at No. 22. If the latter is the case, you'll be targeting RBs when your team comes up again.

4. Fourth pick

Ja'Marr Chase is awesome, has a healthy Joe Burrow back and we'll assume the WR's hold-in will end at some point soon.

You'll get picks 21 and 28, so maybe Etienne or Derrick Henry (if he's there), or you can go with a second wideout or De'Von Achane if you take a receiver with your second pick.

5. Fifth pick

I do not care that Justin Jefferson has a new QB. He's just that good and will be his usual explosive self in 2024.

At 20, I'm leaning toward another top receiver (Pittman? Drake London? Brandon Aiyuk, if he's still with the Niners and is happy?) and then maybe Achane at 28.

6. Sixth pick

Amon-Ra St. Brown is so fun to have on your team and he's pretty safe here.

At 19? If you want Kyren Williams and can stomach the risk with him, sure, go for it. But I'm thinking Nico Collins or Davante Adams there.

At 30, if you're one of those folks who likes top QBs (I tend to wait in 1QB leagues), you could get Lamar Jackson.

7. Seventh pick

This is where things get interesting. Do you roll the dice on Bijan Robinson in that powerful Atlanta Falcons offense? Do you think Breece Hall will be the same back he was last year? Either would be fine here.

At 18, you'll want a wide receiver. Pick your favorite there. And at 31, I'd go with another receiver and leave the RB2 position open for a bit. But if you want a QB, that's up to you.

8. Eighth pick

Whichever RB is still there between Hall and Robinson, grab him.

At 17 and 32, I go WR-WR. Keep it simple.

9. Ninth pick

You could go for a running back like Jonathan Taylor or Jahmyr Gibbs (currently nursing a hamstring injury as of publishing this so, uh, maybe not).

But with my first-rounder, I want consistent production. A.J. Brown fits the bill.

At 16, you could have your choice of WR like Marvin Harrison, Chris Olave or Collins. I'm intrigued by any of them, but if Taylor falls, grab him there.

No. 33 could give you Travis Kelce if you like top tight ends.

10. 10th pick

This is a tricky spot. Who's left? Do you go with a receiver (Garrett Wilson, who is awesome but you're leaning on Aaron Rodgers' health)? Do you roll the dice with a running back like Taylor, Saquon Barkley or Gibbs (if healthy)?

I'll say: up to you. If it's me, Wilson seems like a good bet to be even better with Rodgers around, questions about the QB's age be damned.

At 15, one of those RBs may drop to you, so go that route before targeting another receiver at 34.

11. 11th pick

Taylor works here. Could Puka Nacua be a first-rounder? Hmm.

At 14, you go receiver (Harrison, Olave, London) before another wideout at 35.

12. 12th pick

Nacua IS a first-round pick! And with back-to-back selections, you can go WR-WR if you so choose, but I'm probably going with Barkley or Taylor at No. 13.

At 36? You could choose Josh Allen if he's still there and you like QBs, but you could also shore up your RB spot with Isiah Pacheco or Rachaad White.
