Can These 2 Third-Year WRs Break Into the Elite Tier?

Year 2 has always been a big year for wide receivers, and last year’s sophomore class certainly did not disappoint: four different players eclipsed the breakout threshold of 200 PPR points, the most since 2015, rewarding owners who took advantage of perhaps the biggest edge in fantasy football. Success doesn’t come cheap though, as all the previous breakouts from the 2018 draft class are being picked in the top six rounds.

Two of those WRs come with late fourth-round ADPs: Courtland Sutton and Calvin Ridley. Sutton, one of last year’s top values, broke out in a big way in 2019, but can he join other second-year breakout stars like DeAndre Hopkins in 2015 and Dez Bryant in 2012 in reaching the vaunted 300-point threshold in his third season?

Ridley broke out as a rookie but regressed to below 200 points in his sophomore campaign. Will he be able to bounce back and join players like Anquan Boldin, who returned to glory as the WR4 in Year 3? While both Sutton and Ridley should be productive players in 2020, one has a much clearer path to fantasy superstardom than the other.

Hurts So Good?

In The Blitz, RotoViz writers react to the latest news and help you place it within the context of our 2020 research and recommendations. The Jalen Hurts show finally arrived in Philadelphia and was met with rave reviews: 106 rushing yards, a re-energized offense, and, most importantly, a victory over the NFC-leading Saints.

Streaming Kickers: Week 9

The Process Although I’m filling in for Stefan this week, I’ll be using the same selection process that he has been using all season. In short, we’re looking for kickers who are owned in less than 50% of ESPN leagues, teams with high Vegas point totals, high passing yardage offenses, and potentially low red-zone touchdown rates. This is described more in-depth in Stefan’s Streaming Kickers…...
