The Eagles, Cowboys, Giants, and Commanders have a combined 13 players inside the top 90 overall ADP. These guys are, of course, must-draft options. But who are some under-the-radar breakout candidates?
The Giants’ #2 WR will be in a prime position to smash expectations. With Malik Nabers’ Week 1 status up in the air, Darnell Mooney and rookie Malachi Fields have the inside track to make noise. My money is on the higher-upside Fields (WR85 / overall-232 ADP), whose size and strength separate him from every other presumed Giants starting wideout.
Tank Bigsby (RB54 / overall-171 ADP) is currently #2 on the Eagles’ backfield depth chart. Saquon Barkley is coming off a 346-touch campaign (including the playoffs), which follows a 482-touch campaign the year before. The 29-year-old Barkley is a risky bet to absorb massive usage, as Philly needs to keep him fresher for the postseason. Bigsby is set up nicely to play a 1B role, giving him a clear path to the top 40.
In Washington, Terry McLaurin will turn 31 in September. Other WRs include Luke McCaffrey, Jaylin Lane, Dyami Brown, Treylon Burks, and Van Jefferson. This is why the franchise selected Antonio Williams in the third round of this year’s draft. Williams’ WR70 / overall-178 ADP suggests he won’t do much. I disagree. The #2 job is wide open, giving Williams a realistic shot at top-45 numbers... and a slight shot at rivaling the nearly post-prime McLaurin.
