NFL Survivor Picks 2024: Best Football Knockout Picks, Pool Strategy, Optimal Grid, NFL Schedule Breakdown

There is little debate that quarterback is the most important position in sports and many NFL Survivor players look no further than that position when making their weekly NFL Survivor pool picks. Looking at the weekly 2024 NFL schedule when deciding which team you want to target for your NFL Survivor picks, it is hard to ignore the significant difference in perceived quarterback potential. Vikings vs. Giants features two quarterbacks, Sam Darnold and Daniel Jones, who are looking to prove they are NFL starters. Titans vs. Bears features two young quarterbacks in Will Lewis and Caleb Williams who are looking to showcase themselves. However, could it still be worth using either of these teams in your Week 1 2024 NFL Eliminator pool picks

Top 2024 NFL Survivor Picks and Strategy

Part of White’s 2024 NFL survival strategy: He’s not picking the Cincinnati Bengals, who he considers the consensus favorite, in Week 1. The Bengals will be a popular player in Week 1, but they’ll also be a popular player in the later stages of the season. One of the benefits of finishing last place last season is that you play an easier schedule than the rest of the division. That’s the case with the Bengals this year. There will be opportunities to play the Bengals in the future when many other players won’t be able to due to picking them in Week 1, and if the Patriots pull off the upset, you’ll have a lot fewer teams to compete with at that point.

The Patriots ranked 31st in scoring and 30th in points per game last season and have vastly improved their offensive output through the 2024 NFL Draft. Each of their first five picks and seven of their eight overall selections were offensive players, including two receivers in Jaelin Polk (37th overall) and Javon Baker in the fourth round. The Patriots are going through a quarterback competition in camp, which means whoever gets the Week 1 job is going to earn it and carry that positive momentum into Week 1. White doesn’t think this is the right place to lose the Bengals in the 2024 NFL Survivor Pool picks. Check out the rest of White’s NFL Survivor Contest picks for every week right here.
