Every year a few players break on to the Fantasy Football scene. These guys will each be the top breakout star at their position in 2018.

Last week we covered the top Fantasy busts of 2018 at each position. Now we’ll be a bit more positive with the breakout players at each position. These are the guys who you can get a bit later in your drafts but will explode with high-end production blowing away their ADP. You could also call them value picks as well in some cases. These guys are even worth reaching for a bit because their value will prove to be well worth it so don’t let them slip through the cracks on you.

I will be avoiding any rookies on this list. I feel like that is a bit of a cop out just going with a rookie. I’ll focus on players that have been in the league but will far surpass their past production whether it be because of personal improvement, system change or an increased opportunity around them.

As always I will only be focusing on quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers, and tight ends. No one wants to read about kickers. It’s time they are forever removed from Fantasy Football. The world will be a better place for it.

Before you draft your Fantasy team this month make sure you give this read. At the very least put all these guys on your radar and keep them in mind when draft day comes. All of these guys will be a pleasant surprise in 2018 and help you win your Fantasy championship.
