Featured Pros: Early Bust Candidates
What RB in our consensus top 24 should fantasy owners fear the most as a bust candidate?
Derrick Henry:
I like Henry and believe his upside is well within the Top-25 running backs this season, but his path there isn't as easy as some because Dion Lewis stands in his way. Lewis is a better three-down back than Henry, which means Henry will most likely need consistent leads to salt away in the fourth quarter to keep Lewis from out-snapping him each game. I'll take Lewis' versatility over Henry's early down work every draft.
What WR in our consensus top 24 should fantasy owners fear the most as a bust candidate?
JuJu Smith Schuster is someone I'm not going to reach for this season. His numbers were incredible last year, especially his seven touchdowns and 917 yards on just 58 receptions. That's a healthy yards per reception and touchdown ratio to repeat and I like the addition of James Washington and Vance McDonald enough to believe he's being taken too early this season.

Featured Pros: Breakout Candidates
What RB has the best shot of having a breakout year in 2018?
I like Tarik Cohen for his breakout potential this season. He never really had a chance in John Fox's offense but with Matt Nagy coming over from Kansas City, I see Cohen getting plenty of work as a receiver and even as a runner. Jordan Howard is good and will get his, but a more diverse offense calls for a player like Tyreek Hill, whom Nagy recognized was more than just a big playmaker but someone who could be used consistently.
What WR has the best shot of having a breakout year in 2018?
There are a lot of possibilities here but I'll go with the Patriots receiver Chris Hogan. Since joining the Patriots in 2016, Hogan has 72 receptions from 117 targets - 61.5 percent - for 1,119 yards and nine touchdowns and now he should be in line for the big play lead in this offense with Brandin Cooks gone.
What TE has the best shot of having a breakout year in 2018?
Vance McDonald is my pick for breakout tight end. If I knew he would be healthy, I would probably have him as a Top-5 tight end this year but staying healthy has been tough for him. As a part-time player toward the end of the season and into the playoffs he caught 24 of 36 targets for 300 yards and a touchdown and looked great while doing so. The difference between McDonald and Jesse James was stark when watching and McDonald will beat him out this season if healthy.
