FantasyPros - Fantasy Football Podcast

Which fantasy football players are poised to break out in 2026? Chris Welsh, Andrew Erickson, and Establish The Run’s John Daigle use Vegas-implied team totals, offensive projections, ADP, advanced metrics, and projected roles to identify 10 breakout candidates to target in fantasy drafts.
The guys break down higher-cost breakout picks including Zay Flowers, Colston Loveland, Ladd McConkey, and Rome Odunze before finding mid-round values such as Mike Evans, Blake Corum, Rhamondre Stevenson, and Dalton Kincaid.
They also identify late-round upside plays De'Zhaun Stribling and Rashid Shaheed, plus deep fantasy football sleepers MaSshawn Lloyd and Nick Singleton.
Find out why Baltimore’s passing volume could increase, why Loveland can challenge the elite fantasy tight ends, how Mike McDaniel could unlock Ladd McConkey and Justin Herbert, why Corum can break out without replacing Kyren Williams, and which inexpensive players offer access to projected top-10 offenses.
