Hey!
There are 5 players sitting on the draft board right now with absolute league-winning upside, and almost nobody is drafting them like it.
Here are the 5 players who could break fantasy football this year:
#5 Ladd McConkey
McConkey is the easiest buy-low in fantasy this year.
2025 was rough overall, but from Weeks 5-10 he was rolling at 14.5 points per game with a 25.5% target share before injuries to him and Justin Herbert.
Now Keenan Allen is gone, that's 122 targets and 81 catches up for grabs. Mike McDaniel takes over as OC, the same guy who turned Tua into the league leader in passing yards in 2023.
McConkey in Round 4-5 is a strong pick…
#4 Nico Collins
Collins finished with 1117 yards (8th) last season and he did it while CJ Stroud had the worst year of his career.
Nico has been Top-3 in yards per target, 2nd in yards per route run, and 6th in first downs per route run over the past 3 years.
The Texans just paid him an extra $17M over 2 seasons to keep him as the alpha. He’s a strong pick at the end of Round 2…
#3 AJ Brown
Brown is going as a back-end WR1, but he now has the best QB he's ever played with.
His "down" 2025 was still WR11 at 12.1 points per game on an elite 29% target share
The Patriots also just lost Stefon Diggs (102 targets, 1013 yards up for grabs). Brown is much more in his prime than Diggs was last year.
We may be looking at a vintage 1400 yard AJ Brown season with Drake Maye in 2026…

#2 Tony Pollard
Pollard just put up his 4th straight 1,000-yard rushing season with 1,082 yards (13th) on 242 carries.
From Weeks 14-17 he hit another gear averaging 16.6 fantasy points on 19.5 carries and 113 rushing yards per game.
Now Brian Daboll takes over, his 2025 Giants ranked 2nd in the NFL in rush attempts and 5th in rushing yards per game last season.
Pollard profiles out as the clear RB1 and you can get him in Rounds 7-8…
#1 Rashee Rice
Rice was the WR5 in fantasy points per game last year. The WR5. And he only played 8 games.
He posted an insane 46.2% red zone target share (1st in the NFL) and a 54.8% designed target share (1st).
His 17-game pace: 166 targets, 113 catches, 1213 yards, and 13 TDs.
Patrick Mahomes is on track to return for Week 1 and Hollywood Brown is gone, opening up even more slot snaps for Rice.
He’s a strong pick in Round 3…
