6 Must Draft Breakouts - 2024 Fantasy Football

Thursday Live Stream [Music] greetings and salutations everyone my name is ang kof and welcome to my YouTube channel today I'm going to be talking about six must draft breakouts for our upcoming 2024 fantasy football draft players who I believe are all going to outproduce their current adps which is average draft position so over the course of today's episode I'll introduce players of the running back wide receiver tight end and quarterback positions share with you guys my thought process and opinions but of course present statistics in order to justify the reasons as to why we should be targeting these players in our upcoming 2024 fantasy football drafts so to begin with our first player I wanted to introduce we have zamir white of the Las Vegas Raiders on screen now before we talk about him I want to remind you guys that tomorrow I will be live streaming at 6 p.m. Pacific Standard time here on the channel so for those of you guys have questions or potentially want to draft me via Underdog fantasy Thursday August 13th so if you're interested again swing on by it starts at 600 p.m. Pacific Standard time we'll be live streaming for 2 to 3 hours thank you very much for all the support okay so Zamir White let's talk about zamir white and his potential going into 2024 and why I believe he is a breakout candidate based on the overall situation that he resides in as the lead back of the Las Vegas Raiders now as it currently stands his adpv sleeper is at 78.6 Via ESPN 80.7 via Underdog fantasy 89.0 so sleeper has the highest ADP for zamir white going into this upcoming season but the reason why I find that his value is so high even though he he's being drafted as you know running back 21 to 24 overall on average is because he is filling in within a role as the starting running back of the Las Vegas Raiders that has already shown us that since 2019 can Harbor a Workhorse back someone that is going to get themselves 20 plus touches per game and be able to produce a high volume of fantasy points now the running back that has been able to accomplish that since 2019 has been Josh Jacobs since 2019 he has been the number 14 13 18 4 and 18 overall running back within individual seasons in terms of fantasy points per game on average in a half PPR scoring format throughout the last five seasons he's averaged anywhere between you know 12.51 fantasy points to 17.75 fantasy points within a given season there's been a lot of ups and potential Downs throughout Josh Jacob's overall career couple injuries here and there but nonetheless has been very consistent for Fantasy purposes and like I've mentioned in terms of overall rankings over the course of the last five seasons when Aly he has always been an rb1 therefore the potential that zamir white has pretty much inheriting the role of Josh Jacobs going into 2024 is extremely valuable and we saw that take place last season at the book end of the 2023 season from weeks 15 through 18 zamir white was the Lone running back as Josh Jacobs has ended his season unfortunately due to an injury throughout those games weeks 15 through 18 zamir white was averaging 21 rushing attempts 99.25% 3.25 targets 2.25 receptions 15 receiving yards and 14.05 fantasy points per game and a half PPR scoring from that just putting this into perspective just off of yardage alone he was scoring about 11 and a half fantasy points per game with the included receptions about 12 and a half considering he scored a touchdown one out of every four games he had the potential of getting himself somewhere between 12 to 18 fantasy points within those weeks so again he is proven that with the opportunity it will lead to his overall success in fantasy and we're anticipating that that is going to continue this season throughout that span of time weeks 15 through 18 of last year zamir why was averaging 4.73 yards per carry which is eighth amongst all running backs and 3.43 yards after contact per attempt fourth amongst all running backs and that was in comparison to other running backs last season who had a base minimum of 80 rushing attempts I wanted the base minimum to be a little bit higher in order to make it equivalent to the potential of what zamir white was able to accomplish last season now zamir white is Talent when we talk about when he came out of college and the ability that he had in terms of speed and what he demonstrated at the NFL combine we knew that this guy was special but obviously he had to play behind Josh Jacobs so he was never really given an opportunity but based on my research in terms of looking at 40 times since 1987 zamir white posted the 62nd fastest 40 yard dash time throughout all of the potential running backs who have ran a 40 at the combine since 1987 he ran a 4.44 a 1.51 yard split again incredible numbers in terms of speed and he did it all at 214 lbs which amongst all the running backs that were on that list of the 62 that had the you know fastest 40 times since 1987 he was the 17th heaviest in terms of overall weight so again he's a bigger back he's a Bruiser back and he's certainly going to be able to pick up speed and run over defenders this upcoming season now besides already proving to all of us that he is capable in terms of not only just being fantasy relevant but efficient in terms of his overall touches going into this upcoming season he has the ability to be a Workhorse back those are the kind of running backs that I'm looking for players that are able to dominate 70 plus% of the rushing attempts and targets now unfortunately within this overall offense he may not be getting a vast majority of the overall receiving work we should certainly expect him to get himself between 70 to 80% of the overall rushing attempts within this offense and like he proved last season averaging you know 2.25 receptions per game in the four games in which he started he is still going to be a relevant receiver he's just not going to be exposed to the opportunities as much as someone perhaps like Josh Jacobs was in Prior Seasons within this offense now going into this season there's a little bit of a change we have a new offensive coordinator with Luke gsy he's the former offensive coordinator of the Chicago Bears over the course of the 2022 and 2023 Seasons now when I look back at the 2023 season for this Bears offense from weeks 4 through 18 when Luke gety finally figured out how he wanted to use these running backs because he did have a three-headed monster at one point you know khil Herbert Roshan Johnson and Deontay Foreman once he figured figured out how he wanted to utilize these running backs it was very clear that he wanted to have a dominant number one running back in fact from weeks 4 through 18 12 of those 14 games consisted of one running back handling 60 plus% of the overall touches additionally 10 of those 14 games consisted of one running back handling 70 plus% of the overall running back rushing attempts within the offense so clear in a way he wants a stud rb1 and that's certainly going to be someone like zamir white and he's not the only person on this coaching staff that wants to have a St rb1 the head coach Antonio Pierce said it multiple times last season in press conferences that he wants to get his best players the ball and specifically he wants his rb1s to touch the ball 20 times a game this has been quoted and I've continued to repeat this because it is extremely important especially considering from weeks 9 through 18 when Antonio Pierce became the interim head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders last season the running backs throughout that span of time were averaging 23.22 rushing attempts per game four targets 3.3 3 receptions per game and 177.23 fantasy points per game throughout that eight game span again that's 26 and a half touches per game for their running backs there's certainly a lot of opportunity for zamir white going into this upcoming season as they'll continue that Trend now of course there is backfield competition but it's not a relevant amount when we talk about players who won free agency this off season besides players like sequan Barkley Landing in Philadelphia the fact that nobody really landed in Las Vegas to compete for touches with zamir white makes him a winner from free agency and from the NFL draft even though they brought in Alexander Madison it's a one-year deal worth $2 million again they're not utilizing Alexander Madison as the go-to back sure he can come in if in fact zamir white is injured but outside of that Alexander Madison is not going to get much utilization they went ahead and they drafted a running back in the sixth round he's gotten a lot of you know news and a lot of pop over the course of the last couple weeks in training camp and he could certainly be the third down back of this team going forward they also have Amir Abdullah who typically is in within that role uh but he's a 31y old running back as it currently stands again zamir white is a young running back and he's going to dominate the vast majority of overall touches especially behind an offensive line that is certainly capable of leading him to the promised land now when we talked about offensive lines just a couple weeks ago in regards to the best offensive lines and how that's going to help our running backs in fantasy football this upcoming season there was a little bit of a uncertainty as to whether or not the health of Colton Miller uh the former pro bowl offensive tackle for this offensive line whether he was going to be healthy going into this upcoming season so Colton Miller is expected to return to practice later this week their offensive guard that they drafted with a second round pick in the 2024 NFL draft Jackson Powers Johnson out of Oregon is expected to also return from his concussion and this offensive line should be top 10 this season in terms of run blocking going into the year so I'm anticipating a lot of success for zamir white behind a great offensive line and in an offense that is certainly going to be utilizing a lot of 12 Personnel primarily because they have you know Michael Mayer and Brock Bowers they've spent a lot of draft Capital over the course of the last two seasons on these Premier tight ends so they're going to have them both on the SE on the field at the same time and when you have 12 Personnel it continues to promote the idea that you want to run the ball even more because you have tight ends on the field rather than receivers that are going to be out there blocking for someone like zamir white last season against eight plus defenders in the Box he was averaging 5.1 yards per carry we're going to see a lot of those overall sets this upcoming season and even though we have Devonte Adams and jacobe Myers in order to kind of open up the offense and potentially prevent the defense from stacking the box with eight plus Defenders these 12 Personnel sets for the Las Vegas Raiders are certainly going to be dangerous but I'm anticipating a lot of success from this offense and of course zamir white now 2024 Draft Guide & Rankings before

wanted to mention in regards to being a potential must draft breakout going into 2024 it is Anthony Richardson who has an current ADP on sleeper of 53.7 now via ESPN it's at 50.8 and Via Underdog fantasy 57.1 so clear in way his adps across the board very similar to one another as he is typically the fifth quarterback off the board fifth or sixth depending on which overall platform you're drafting on now when I see him being drafted as a top five quarterback it's not by accident there is a lot of value to be had with an Anthony Richardson because he is one of the very few quarterbacks as it currently stands going into 2024 that can contend to being the number one overall quarterback at the position and again in order to be the number one overall quarterback over the course of the last three seasons if you just take the averages these quarterbacks are capable of putting up 380 plus fantasy points in a given year and certainly Anthony Richardson is capable of competing with guys like Josh Allen and Jaylen Herz primarily because of the rushing ability that he has inherently within himself and the offense continuing to accentuate his skills in terms of running the ball especially down near the goal line so let's talk about what we saw last season from Anthony Richardson first and foremost in the two games that he played fully healthy last season he was top five in both of those weeks in terms of quarterback rankings additionally he went ahead and set the best overall Fantasy Point per drop back number in terms of points since Lamar Jackson's 2019 season in the two full healthy games he played last year he was averaging 25.26042 in terms of the potential of his end of season stats was like 17 rushing touchdowns based on what he was able to accomplish in just nine quarters of play prior to the injuries that of course unfortunately ended his season now last year whether it was him or Gardner mchu at quarterback we had very similar numbers in terms of how often Shane styken wanted his quarterbacks to throw the ball last season Gardner mchu averaged 35 passing attempts per game while Anthony Richardson in the two full healthy games he played was averaging 31 passing attempts per game game but in terms of rushing obviously Gardner muu even though he had a couple games in which he had touchdowns and a couple I mean I even clearly remember to this day against the Cleveland Browns you know he he kept the ball on a read option and rushed in the touchdown for like 20 yards nonetheless the potential at which Anthony richardon has to be able to utilize plays such as that and be able to gather fantasy points via rushing statistics makes him one of the most valuable quarterbacks in a breakout candidate this season in terms of his rushing stats when healthy last year in the full healthy games 20 rushing attempts total for 96 yards and two rushing touchdowns on a per game average again that's 10 attempts per game for 48 yards and a rushing touchdown in terms of fantasy points per game on average 10.8 again this is a very special quarterback amongst all in the National Football League he's probably the most athletic to be totally honest when we go ahead and take his combine numbers he was in the 99th percentile I mean he is pretty much a more athletic version of Cam Newton Josh Allen he really is capable of that level he's a big bodied quarterback that is just going to continue to run the ball I mean he ran the fourth fastest 40 time amongst all quarterbacks in National Football League history at the combine 4.43 I mean if the National Football League can allow someone like Daniel Jones to run for 700 yards and seven touchdowns back in 2022 I can only imagine what the capabilities of Anthony Richardson is going to be within an offense as such with the Indianapolis Colts with the head coach with the talent that surrounds him now last season when Gard rinu was the starting quarterback of this team team he was averaging 12.1 fantasy points per game in terms of passing statistics Anthony Richardson on the other hand in the full healthy gam C played was averaging 13.48% I mean the potential is certainly there for Anthony Richardson to be a top three back if not the number one overall back by the end of the season now one of the reasons why we of course believe in him so much is because of the coaching staff Shane styken is the former offensive coordinator of the Philadelphia Eagles from 2021 to 2022 he currently sits as the head coach and primary play caller of the Indianapolis Colts in those Seasons 2021 Philadelphia Eagles Jaylen Herz 139 rushing attempts 784 yards 10 rushing touchdowns the following year Jaylen Herz 165 rushing attempts the number increased for 760 rushing 13 rushing touchdowns again a lot of opportunity on the ground to find success and a lot of it was done via designed runs so they want to go ahead and give their mobile quarterbacks designed runs in order to find the end zone and of course yardage that is going to carry our fantasy teams specifically when we look at the overall contributions in terms of yardage from Jaylen Herz from 2021 to 2022 2021 47% of his yards were off of designed runs in terms of rushing and in 2022 the number jumped to 54% of his overall rushing yards via designed runs and what the Colts and the Philadelphia Eagles both have in common is they both have Elite offensive lines so regardless of whether it's scrambles or design runs in specific I'm expecting Anthony Richardson to run behind this Elite offensive line and find success now when we look at the 2021 and 2022 Philadelphia Eagles in 2021 they have the fifth most Red Zone rushing attempts amongst all teams in the league and have the most most rushing touchdowns within the Red Zone in 2022 they were number one in both those categories as well I'm anticipating the 2024 Indianapolis Colts to look very similar to what the 2021/2022 Philadelphia Eagles were in terms of overall utilization of Anthony Richardson and how he is going to be the discount version of Jaylen Herz now don't get me wrong there are going to be growing pains for Anthony Richardson this is going to be like technically his rookie season because he really only has two full games played under his belt over the course of his rookie season in 2023 so there are going to be mistakes there are going to be terrible looking passes there are going to be interceptions he is going to make mistakes here and there but the thing is these things don't matter in fantasy football when he is able to have incredible statistics from rushing statistics isolated that is going to be the biggest indicator in Catalyst as to whether he will find success this upcoming season and we don't anticipate him slowing down in terms of running the ball we have heard him say and Shane styken say all offseason in their PR press conferences that they're not going to prevent you know Anthony Richardson from running the ball just because he got hurt last season they're going to utilize him in the ways that he best fits this offense and that is first and foremost him running the ball and being able to dominate with his legs all right moving on to the next player I wanted to Tank Dell mention the thumbnail of today's episode we have tank Dell wide receiver of the Houston Texans currently sitting at an ADP of 53.1 on sleeper via Underdog fantasy 34.3 the fact that he is being selected at the back end of the Third third round there is a contingent that believes that tankel may in fact be the number one fantasy wide receiver of this offense and it wouldn't surprise me if over the course of this upcoming season there are weeks in which he is the clearing away number one and in other weeks it'll be Nico Collins in other weeks it'll be Stefon digs and it's going to go back and forth but there is a contingent that believes that tankel by far in the way is going to be the number one wide receiver within this offense and I don't believe that to be the case but I certainly do believe that he is going to make a name for himself this upcoming season even though you know his season his rookie season was cut short last year due to the injury I mean prior to it again he still finishes the number 38 overall wide receiver in fantasy football because of the incredible statistics that he was putting forward while he was healthy now he is in an offense that is going to be throwing the ball a bunch especially considering they brought in Stefon digs will see far more 11 personnel that'll be able to allow to have all three of these wide receivers on the field while also having Dotan Schultz and Joe Mixon on the field which again makes this offense deadly amongst all teams last season the the Houston Texans targeted their wide receivers the ninth most times last season and CJ strad in his healthy games was averaging 34 passing attempts per game that number is going to have to increase and I'm assuming that of course the overall targets he has towards the wide receiver position is also going to increase because majority of last year there were a lot of injuries there were games in which we didn't have Nico Collins or tank Dell or Noah Brown over the course of the entire year and of course CJ Stout still made it happen with guys like doltan Schultz Brevin Jordan Robert was again wide receivers that in comparison to the caliber to what he has now as his you know top receiving targets are far less but going into 2024 there's a lot of excitement there now from the sample size that we have from 2023 of games in which niiko Collins played with tank Dell in games in which both them played over 60% of the offensive snapped tank Dell had a higher Target share and also had a higher air yard share amongst those two wide receivers additionally last season he was targeted on 23.44% of the routes that he ran he had a 2.22 yards per route run average which was number 17 amongst all wide receivers last season with a minimum of 25 targets he was drafted by the Houston Texans primarily because CJ Stout after being selected on day one went to the organization and specifically told him hey I need you guys to go and draft Tank Dell I need him go get him for me and that's what they did they brought in tank Dell and immediately they found success together last season in games in which tank Dell played 60% of the off offensive snaps or more he was averaging 8.38 targets per game and 16.23 fantasy points per game additionally in games in which he had seven or more targets averaging 20.3 fantasy points per game he was able to get himself seven or more Targets in six of the 10 games that he played last season again when you give him opportunity it's going to lead to success and a lot of the success that he found was in the end zone specifically scoring seven touchdowns last season four of which came within the Deep receiving game when I talk about the Deep receiving game that's 20 or more yards down the field which again CJ Stout demonstrated was incredible at within his rookie season already he was top eight in deep passing completions yards and touchdowns amongst all players in the National Football League at the quarterback position tank Dell if you went ahead and took his overall statistics within the Deep receiving game and spaned across 17 games his potential was top 15 in all categories whether it's targets receptions receiving arts and receiving touchdowns he is a threat on this field but the question is is he's going to be given enough opportunity this upcoming season with Nico Collins and of course Stefon Diggs taking away opportunities because from what we saw already from the preseason when they're in 12 Personnel sets unfortunately tankal wasn't on the field so tankal only played four of the overall six plays with the starting offense in their first preseason game all four of those plays being an 11 pernel which again this team didn't run a lot of 11 personnel last season primarily because they had all of these wide receivers injured and they could not even afford to have have them on so they might as well have just had dtan Schultz and brevan Jordan which of course found a lot of success but going into this season with all these wide receivers we're going to see far more 11 personnel and with that it is going to lead to hopefully a lot more passing from this offense because we're going to need CJ strad to be able to produce over 4,000 yards in about 35ish passing touchdowns in order to be able to support three wide receivers within the top 32 ranks and we've seen other offenses be able to accomplish this we talk about the 2021 Bangals the 2020 Panthers and the 2020 Steelers all three of these offenses in a half PPR scoring format were able to support three top 31 wide receivers in fantasy football within those given years so I certainly do believe that the Houston Texans this year are capable of doing so and even though tank Dell amongst all three of these options is seen as the the lesser of the three because we're not anticipating as many targets I'm hoping that he's going to be able to surpass 100 total targets because when he's able to do so the volume of touchdowns and yards that he's going to be able to accumulate is going to be enough to make him a breakout candidate by the end of the season someone that is easily able to outproduce his ADP but you know if we're comparing it to Underdog ADP I don't expect him to outproduce you know being a third round selection I mean hopefully he'll be able to do that but I think his adps via you know sleeper and or you know ESPN Yahoo are far safer so that many of us can make this investment and not have to really hope that he is a unbelievable player and becomes the number one of this team rather he can be the number two number three and still be a relevant option for our fantasy teams the final thing that I wanted to knowe in regards to the relationship between CJ strad and tank Dell this offseason she CJ strad was doing a podcast of sorts and he was asked to put together his number one overall offense that he could construct okay of all the players within that offense he only named two Houston Texans number one laram tunel the left tackle of the team and he named tank Dell he also had guys like Devonte Adams on this team he had guys that like Travis Kelce but he specifically singled out tank Dell as the one wide receiver on his actual team that he would put on the best team in the National Football League that kind of confidence builds more confidence Within Myself to believe that tank Dell is on his way to a breakout season in 2024 moving on to Josh Palmer Josh Palmer Joshua Palmer of the Los Angeles Chargers is a player that currently sits at an ADP of for Josh Palmer because yes he has found success in Prior Seasons but it has mainly been in the absence of players due to injury these players being Keenan Allen and Mike Williams over the course of the last two seasons who again have missed a fair share of games the two of them last season Mike Williams Maj missed majority of the Season due to a tornado see how the year prior Keenan Allen was dealing with a lot of injuries and throughout those spans of time Josh Palmer was a relevant fantasy option I mean when we look at 2023 weeks 13- 18 Josh Palmer averaging 6.9 Target targets and 10.5 fantasy points per game throughout those eight games on Pace for 117 targets 72 receptions 1,199 receiving yards four touchdowns and 178 half fantasy points per game throughout a 17 Game season that's the pace in which he had last season in games in which Mike Williams was not in that offense amongst all wide receivers he was 36th in terms of yards per route run with a 1.71 average all wide receivers that had a base minimum of 50 targets additionally he was number 15 amongst all wide receivers in terms of yards per reception averaging 15.4 now even if you go back to 2022 he was able to be a relevant wide receiver in the absence of Keenan Allen and or Mike Williams or even in some scenarios both of them from weeks two through 13 averaging 8.2 targets and 10.57 fantasy points per game his Pace within that season 139 targets 92 receptions 1,32 yards and five receiving touchdowns for 180 fantasy points the potential of Josh Palmer this upcoming season being the number one of this offense is absolutely not out of the realm of possibility yes there is a lot of hype that surrounds lad makoni the rookie wide receiver that was selected to potentially come in and fill in for the role of Keenan Allen but I do believe that Josh Palmer can certainly be the number one by the end of the 20124 season because of how this offense is going to function based on the fact that they have Greg Roman as their offensive coordinator we may not see a lot of 11 personnel sets so if 11 personnel is going to be out of the realm of possibility primarily because Greg Romans the former offensive coordinator of the Baltimore Ravens from 2018 to 2022 throughout those seasons of course they used a lot of 11 personnel a lot of two tight end sets because they wanted to run the ball so often a team that ran the ball over 500 times per season on average that going into this upcoming year they'll probably try to do the same but again you can't run the ball 500 plus times if you're losing games and if the Los Angeles Chargers are not going to have a fully uh you know kind of established offense with the pieces they currently have on roster and their defense isn't going to be able to hold teams running the ball that much in negative game scripts is not going to really be a possibility so we present the idea of Josh Palmer a wide receiver who's just 24 years old that has proven that he can absolutely be fantasy relevant when given opportunity within this offense already has a report built with Justin Herbert in Prior Seasons as long as Justin Herbert is healthy he's one of the most accurate quarterbacks in the National Football League and he's going to have to throw the ball for a lot of these games and amongst all the wide receivers within this Los Angeles Chargers offense I truly do believe that Joshua Palmer has the highest floor and potentially even the highest ceiling of potential based on the fact that he can even be utilized within the slot position and dig into the role of llad makoni if in fact he doesn't jump Joshua Palmer within this category I think based on his current ADP 139.6917 via Underdog fantasy he is someone that I'm absolutely investing in and can absolutely be a breakout for the Los Angeles Chargers offense this season moving on to Kyle pittz the first Titan I wanted to mention I'm ready to be hurt again because quite frankly this is the Kyle Pitts best situation and the best offense that Kyle Pitts has ever been associated with throughout his short career in the National Football League so yes I'm ready to get hurt again if Kyle pittz wants to screw me over and not have another great season for a third consecutive year so be it but when we go back to 2021 his work with Matt Ryan he was averaging 8.42 fantasy points per game and was the number 11 fantasy tight end in terms of fantasy points per game on average 8.42 not a great number but I'm anticipating more production from him in comparison to his Rook year because the last two years I don't even know if I want to mention those stats he was averaging what 6.2 in 2022 and 6.52 last season not great numbers but still was the number 16 and the number 20 overall tight end in terms of fantasy points per game on average like I mentioned in yesterday's video the tit end position doesn't have much depth and 6 and 1 half to seven fantasy points per game is something that many of us have dealt with over the years that's why we typically want to draft studs but in this scenario going into the season with an ADP of 58.8 via sleeper 71.8 via ESPN and 60.3 Via Underdog fantasy I do believe that this is a season in which Kyle Pitt can find a lot of success based on what has changed around him within the Atlanta Falcons organization now first and foremost he's coming off of a 2023 campaign that was underwhelming primarily because that he had to compete for targets with jnu Smith considering how much Arthur Smith loved Janu because of course he used to be his offensive coordinator back in Tennessee they had a relationship prior nonetheless and also Kyle pittz prior to the 2023 year had PCL and MCL surgery again being able to have a full 17 Game season after a surgery of that caliber pretty impressive he was proud of it he went and had let everyone know hey there were a couple surgeries that I had you know prior to the 2023 year that weren't public and I'm glad that I was able you know able to go through that whole season healthy and ready to 2024 is just going to be the next level of Kyle pittz so what kind of potential exactly are we looking for for the next level of Kyle pittz if he's a only been able to put up 6 and a half fantasy points the last couple Seasons I mean quite frankly anything is better especially when you upgrade his quarterback over the course of the last two seasons with Ritter Mariota and hinei 38.4% of the passes that those quarterbacks made 10 or more yards down the field were either considered uncatchable or inaccurate when we talk about Kurt Cousins within that category over the course of the last two seasons he was the third best quarterback in terms of accuracy within those overall passing attempts and he's been able to elevate T.J Hawkinson to a next level at the tight end position so why not Elevate Kyle pittz I mean in 2022 hackinson on the Minnesota Vikings from weeks 9 through 17 averaging 9.4 targets per game and 10.87 fantasy points per game hackinson last season prior to Kirk Cousins injury weeks 1 through eight 8.5 targets per game 11.29 half PPR fantasy points per per game if you go ahead and take TJ hackinson 18 games that he has played with Kurt Cousins take the averages and put a 17 game Pace on it we're talking about 155 targets 115 receptions 1, 148 receiving yards six touchdowns and 195 fantasy points there's a reason why T.J hackinson has finished as the number three and the number four overall tight end in the last two seasons and it's because of the contributions of that offense and of course Kurt Cousins so going into this upcoming season the expectation is that Kurt Cousins and his Tendencies of throwing the ball to the tight endend position are going to continue because you go from Kevin oconnell who is the current head coach and play caller of the middot of Vikings and now you go to Zach Robinson who is a former passing game coordinator of the Los Angeles Rams now the new offensive coordinator of the Atlanta Falcons the reason why I mention both these names is because Kevin oconnell used to be an offensive coordinator of the Los Angeles Rams the schemes are going to look very similar and because of this it is going to allow a lot of comfortability for KK cousins and it is going to allow him to immediately put Kyle Pitts into that TJ hackinson role which over the course of the last three seasons when Kyle Pitts has been given eight or more Targets in a game he's averaging 11.13 fantasy points per game and he's only been given eight or more targets 10 of the last 44 healthy games that he has played this upcoming season I'm expecting a breakout from Kyle pittz many of you may want to avoid him and I have no problem with that but me personally I'll be investing a little bit of draft Capital I'm not going to you know in every draft be targeting Kyle pittz not going to be doing that because again if you look at a lot of the players that we've mentioned today a lot of them are already in the 50s I still got to go ahead and draft my tank Dells my you know my Anthony Richardson's across the board I got to get a little bit of pieces here and there but I certainly will be investing in a tight end this upcoming season of this caliber that is associated with the great quarterback now finally and is going to have an opportunity against a strength offt schedule which is the fifth easiest amongst all teams to be able to find himself a lot of success the final Tee Higgins player I wanted to mention on today's video is T Higgins wide receiver of the Cincinnati Bengals currently sits in an ADP at 55.9 Via sleeper 73.6 V ESPN and 42.7 V Underdog fantasy I mention it every time I do my wide receiver rankings video that tagen should be able to outproduce the ranking that I have him at and that's mainly because of what he has been able to produce in terms of you know per game averages over the course of the last three seasons when he has been healthy in 2021 he played 14 healthy games averaging 13.01 fantasy points per game with only 7.86 targets per game 2022 13 healthy games 8.23 targets per game 13.86% 33 targets per game and 12.03 fantasy points per game if we just take 12 fantasy points per game and expand that Upon A 177 Game season that's 204 fantasy points that's between wide receiver 12 to 15 within a given Year and that fluctuates whether that's 2021 2022 or 2023 but nonetheless still a top 12 to 15 wide receiver and that's the potential which he has he has been drafted at that position in the past and obviously because he hasn't been able to stay healthy it has been difficult but if he can have just one great healthy year on a year that he has been franchise tagged and he's trying to earn a contract in the off season considering how much money has been given out to wide receivers this offseason already I can only imagine the bag that th Higgins is trying to get after and if he can stay healthy over the course of the last three seasons when he has been healthy and so has Joe Burl he's averaging 12.96 fantasy points per game throughout the 32 games that they have played together additionally in games with Joe Bro when they've both been healthy that he's gotten seven or more targets 14.65 fantasy points per game 23 of the 32 games they've played together and on top of that against his division rivals in the AFC North over the course of the last nine games he has played against them 15.12 fantasy points per game I'm anticipating for T Higgins to have himself a great year he's coming off of a season in which he set a career-high in yards per reception 15.6 and a career-high ad do average depth of Target 13.1 considering he is clearing away the number two receiving option of this offense and you also have the conversation of Tyler Boyd not returning there's even more potential Targets on the table for Tans within this offense a team in 2023 that targeted their wide receivers the second most times amongst all teams in the National Football League if you're going to Target your wide receivers at that high of a volume you have a healthy Joe burough going into this upcoming season and you have no Tyler Boyd T Higgins has the potential to average somewhere between 12 to 14 fantasy points this upcoming season because that's what he's been able to accomplish over the course of the last couple years so as the number two of this offense a pass heavy team I'm anticipating a lot of success now if in fact we get into a situation because Jamar Chase is holding out and Jamar Chase perhaps wants to hold out even longer because they don't give him a contract because again the Cincinnati Bengals organization is very stubborn when they don't want to give you a contract they will not and you will just have to play without one and we'll see what happens with Chase but if he doesn't play this year I mean that makes T Higgins a top 12 option easily but certainly based on his ADP I expect him to outperform that going into this year just got to hope he stays healthy all right that's going to cover in terms of my must draft breakouts for the 2024 fantasy football season thank you everybody for watching let me know down in the comments section which players
