Fantasy Football Breakouts 2017: Rankings and ADP from model that called Tyrod Taylor's huge year
Last year, Fantasy Football drafters largely wrote off Tyrod Taylor. He was the 15th quarterback off the board and got less love than Blake Bortles.
The result: 23 total touchdowns and a career-high 580 rushing yards, the most of any QB. That bonus yardage helped Taylor's owners win matches week after week.
The team at SportsLine was all over Taylor as a Fantasy breakout from the start. Their model had him as a top-12 QB, which made him a late-round steal in nearly all drafts. Anyone who listened to their advice was well-poised for a league title.
SportsLine's model is powered by the same people who powered projections for all three major Fantasy companies. And that same group is sharing their cheat sheets for this season.
SportsLine's cheat sheets, which are available for leagues on any major Fantasy Ffootball site, are updated four times a day. You'll know the impact of any big injuries or depth chart moves almost instantly, so you never have to worry about having outdated information.
One breakout candidate you need to be all over in your draft this year: Lions TE Eric Ebron. He's going off the board 14th at tight end, but the guys at SportsLine project him to finish seventh at his position. He's expected to have a major role in the passing game in 2017 and is a top breakout candidate.
Another shocker: Ravens running back Terrance West, who scored five times on 193 carries last season, but only topped 20 attempts once. With Kenneth Dixon on IR, Danny Woodhead coming off injury, and Joe Flacco's health in question, West could carry the Ravens, and Fantasy owners, this season. He's going off the board 41st among RBs, but SportsLine has him finishing 15 spots higher in its rankings.
SportsLine is also high on a wide receiver who's going in the sixth round, but carries the same projected value as Dez Bryant, Amari Cooper, and T.Y. Hilton (all third-round picks).
So what players poised for breakouts should you snatch in your fantasy football draft? And what huge receiver can you wait on until late? Visit SportsLine now to get fantasy football cheat sheets from the model that called Tyrod Taylor's huge breakout last season and find out.
