Top 10 Fantasy Football Breakout Candidates

Russell Wilson

How can someone who just won the Super Bowl at age 24 with Doug Baldwin as his primary receiver be this underrated?

With or without Marshawn Lynch in the backfield, Russell Wilson is the king of efficiency. He ranked sixth in our Net Expected Points rankings for last year, ahead of Matthew Stafford, Cam Newton, and Andrew Luck. He won't necessarily guide you to a fantasy title on his own, but he sure won't destroy your team, either. Take a safe pick at quarterback and go risky elsewhere.

He's not being drafted until the seventh round or later in most drafts, too. Our advice here is to load up on backs and wideouts and save your quarterback for late - you're going to be glad you've got the depth.
