2024 All-Threat Team
With the NFL All-Pro Team released earlier this week, it’s time for Field Vision to take a look at our All-Threat team for 2024. Remember, Threat is a proprietary metric developed at Field Vision that measures the value of a player’s contribution to their team relative to their position group. For more on how Threat is measured and was developed, you can read Scott Bouska’s article here.
With that out of the way, these are the offensive players that stood out above the rest in 2024 according to our Threat metric. I also listed the All-Pro’s at each position underneath the position groups so you can see how it compares.
1st Team All-Threat
QB- Joe Burrow, Cincinnati: The Bengals did not make the playoffs this year and as a result Joe Burrow was not named All-Pro and he will not win the MVP, but there’s no denying the fact that he had an incredible season in Cincinnati. Burrow made 4 All-Threat teams this season and posted a season rating of 95.1, landing him the top spot just ahead of Lamar Jackson. In a disappointing team season that ended at 9-8, Burrow led the league in passing yards with 4,918 and completed 70.6 percent of his throws. He also threw 43 touchdown passes to just 9 interceptions despite being sacked 48 times. The Bengals will have some personnel decisions to make this offseason, but they need to make the slow starts a thing of the past if they want to compete for championships. An 0-3 start came back to bite them in the playoff push this year.

2nd Team All Pro QB- Josh Allen
RB- Saquon Barkley, Philadelphia: Saquon Barkley had an epic season and put up the strongest non-qb case for MVP that we’ve seen in quite some time. With just a few games left, it looked like he’d be the first running back to win the award since Adrian Peterson in 2012. As it turns out, Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson took the reins in that regard and one of them will probably end up with the hardware, but it doesn’t take away from the monster campaign Barkley put up. He led all running backs in Threat Rating with a 99.0 mark en route to just the 9th 2000-yard rushing season ever. Sitting out the last game of the season and foregoing the opportunity to break Eric Dickerson’s all time record, Saquon still rushed for 2005 yards on 345 carries, good for 5.8 yards per carry. He was ultra consistent, making 7 All-Threat teams in 16 games to lead all players.
RB- Derrick Henry, Baltimore: As good as Barkley was this season, one of the fellow members of the 2000-yard club wasn’t far behind. Derrick Henry was the jolt to the Ravens offense they didn’t know they needed. The combination of Henry and Jackson in the backfield made for a nearly unstoppable rushing attack. Henry finished the season 2nd in Threat Rating for running backs with a 93.7 mark. Henry rushed for 1,921 yards on the season including ten 100-yard rushing performances and actually narrowly eclipsed Barkley with a 5.9 yards per carry average. He also led the league with 16 rushing touchdowns. The Ravens went as Henry went, evidenced by their winning every single contest where he eclipsed the century mark in rushing.

TE- George Kittle, San Francisco: George Kittle won a tight race for All-Threat Tight End narrowly edging out Trey McBride and Brock Bowers with a Threat Rating of 90.7. He went for his 4th career 1000-yard season with 1106 yards on 78 receptions this season and did so with only 94 targets. It’s well documented how much Kittle helps the San Francisco run game with his blocking, but with injuries throughout the season at the wide receiver position, he was their most consistent threat in the passing game this season. His 80.4 percent success rate led all tight ends that had at least a 5 percent target share on the season and his 73.7 yards per game receiving was also first among tight ends. Like Barkley mentioned above, Kittle was a model of consistency making 7 All-Threat teams on the season.

2nd Team All-Pro TE- George Kittle
WR- Ja’Marr Chase, Cincinnati: It’s hard to downplay what Ja’Marr Chase meant to Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati offense this season. If the Bengals had more team success, we could potentially be in serious conversations about Chase for offensive player of the year, although beating out Barkley this year might have proved impossible. Chase won the wide receiving triple crown leading the league with 127 receptions, 1,708 yards and 17 touchdowns. He led all receivers with an 86.3 Threat Rating and averaged 46.9 yards after catch per game on a 27.9 percent target share. He dominated the left side of the field, ranking top 10 in EPA generated in the short, intermediate and deep areas of the field on that side. His contract will be a big story in Cincinnati this off season after not getting an extension before this season, but the Bengals likely cost themselves some money by waiting one year too long.
WR- Mike Evans, Tampa Bay: Mike Evans surged late in the season to make his way onto this list with an 85.6 Threat Rating. He averaged 71.7 yards per game in 14 contests this season to secure his 11th consecutive 1000-yard season tying Jerry Rice’s record. Evans caught 74 of 110 targets for 1004 yards on the season. He posted an impressive 12.7 ADOT and 67.3 percent success rate while hauling in 11 touchdowns. At 31, Evans continued to be the premier target for Baker Mayfield and had to step up even bigger from week 11 on after his hamstring injury with absence of Chris Godwin, who was lost for the season in week 7. Evans proved he’s still got plenty left in the tank heading into year 12 next season.
WR- Amon-Ra St. Brown, Detroit: Amon-Ra St. Brown led the charge for the most potent offensive attack in the NFC. With the emergence of Jameson Williams this season, St. Brown’s numbers were slightly down from last year, but he still caught 115 of 141 targets for 1,263 yards and 12 receiving touchdowns. St. Brown dominated the short and intermediate parts of the field ranking top 20 in EPA generated in all 6 quadrants, but he was also 2nd in EPA generated in the deep middle, truly showing he can operate at all 3 levels. The former 4th round pick has become an elite weapon in the Lions’ offense.
