FullTime Fantasy’s world-renowned Draft Kit is loaded with exclusive content to help you crush your upcoming draft. Part of that includes naming the FullTime Fantasy staff Fantasy Football Breakout Player of the Year.

A breakout is a player who exceeds his ADP and posts the best numbers of his career. These players often are young, ascending talents on the verge of busting out. However, like our prophetic pick of a rookie RB to break out last season, we’re eyeing a first-year wide receiver who has tantalizing upside.

Jerry Jeudy Highlights the Top 5 Breakout Wide Receivers

 

The wide receiver position in fantasy football tends to be the most challenging to manage. In the high-stakes fantasy market, many top players want to be strong at wideout to eliminate decision-making from week to week. If your wide receiver corps has too many similar players that fall in the WR3 to WR4 range, their outcomes can be high in some weeks. But often their top games are followed by dull or empty performances.

A WR3 or flex option can make sense to have an explosive type player who can put up difference-maker scores. Last year, wide receivers produced 44 games with 30.00 fantasy points or more in PPR formats. Twelve of these games came from Justin Jefferson (7) and Davante Adams (5). No other player had more than two impact games. Outside the top 24 highest-scoring wideouts, only eight wideouts scored higher than 30.00 fantasy points. All impact games came from the top 48 scoring wide receivers.

In comparison, there were 142 wide receiver games between 20.00 and 29.95 fantasy points. Stefon Diggs (7) led this category, followed by Tyreek Hill (6) and Amari Cooper (5). Here’s the ranking by groups:

• WR1s – 41
• WR2s – 29
• WR3s – 25
• WR4s – 14
• All others – 32

When listing my breakout wide receivers, I’m looking for players to jump at least one level in production from last year and outperform their current ADP in the high-stakes market.

 

Jerry Jeudy (Denver Broncos)

The Broncos passing offense and scoring fell well below expectations in 2022. Russell Wilson posted his worst season in his 11 years in the NFL. With Sean Payton in change, Denver would be much better offensively this season. Despite their offensive struggles and Jerry Jeudy missing two games, he finished 22nd in wide receiver scoring (204.20) in PPR leagues. His best play came over the final five games (8/73/3, 7/76, 6/117, 7/38, and 5/154). Jeudy looks poised to push to WR1 status in 2023. He ranks 17th at wideout over the past month.

Identifying the players that are poised to eclipse their perceived value is one of the most coveted tools in the arsenal of the successful fantasy football manager.
