Top 10 Fantasy Football Breakout Candidates
Kendall Wright
The youth movement is on in Tennessee, and for both Kendall Wright and Justin Hunter, the time is right to explode onto your fantasy radar. Wright's currently being drafted close to the eighth round; his value is in the fifth.
Wright finished 17th in our NEP efficiency metrics for wideouts last year, ahead of big names like Jordy Nelson, Roddy White, and Larry Fitzgerald. His issue has never been talent or skill, it's been usage - and he's going to used quite a bit this year as Tennessee moves on from the Chris Johnson "one yard loss and a cloud of dust" era and into a higher-tempo attack with Wright and Sankey as the pistons.
