2023 Fantasy Football Breakouts

• 💡 Trevor Lawrence is highlighted as an obvious quarterback breakout candidate after his performance last year.
• 🚀 Tony Pollard is expected to take another step forward, with potential for a top-five finish due to his efficiency and the Cowboys not significantly replacing Ezekiel Elliott's role.
• 📈 Justin Fields and Tua Tagovailoa are identified as potential top-three quarterbacks, with Fields benefiting from DJ Moore's addition and Tua needing to stay healthy to unlock his high ceiling.
• 🏈 J.K. Dobbins is a strong breakout candidate in a new offense that could feature him more in the passing game, especially as he's now two years removed from his ACL tear.
• ✨ Jahan Dotson is poised for a big second year, with Terry McLaurin's injury opening up targets, and he's seen as a valuable pick despite rising ADP.

2023 Fantasy Football Busts

• ⚠️ Lamar Jackson is considered a bust at his ADP (QB6 in round 3) due to a history of not meeting elite expectations and the addition of new weapons not guaranteeing a top QB finish.
• 📉 Rhamondre Stevenson is flagged as a potential bust at his ADP (RB3 in round 3) due to concerns about goal-line carries being taken by Ezekiel Elliott and the Patriots adding more pass-catchers, potentially capping his upside.
• ❓ Breece Hall is a concern at his ADP (round 5) due to splitting reps with Dalvin Cook and the general difficulty of year one production after an ACL tear, with a history of similar players struggling.
• 🏃 Kenneth Walker III is viewed with caution, even if healthy, due to the addition of Zach Charbonnet, who may be better in short-yardage and passing situations, and Walker's reliance on long touchdown runs.
• 🎯 Brock Purdy is a player to watch cautiously, with questions about his ability to replicate his success from last year given his injury and the team's surrounding talent.
