There are several different avenues to winning a fantasy championship, but one of the most tried and true is identifying and drafting breakout players. Very few teams that drafted Drake Maye and Jaxon Smith-Njigba at their preseason prices last year fell short of the goal. Finding a superstar in the middle rounds, or an every-week starter at the end of drafts, is an advantage worth pursuing year in and year out.
So who are the "Diamonds in the Rough" for the upcoming season? May I present the 2026 All-Breakout Team.
Note: I'm not considering rookies for this article, only players with previously established expectations.
