The flood gates for player news are about to flow full blast this week when all 32 teams step onto the field in the preseason. Each year, a player or two comes out of nowhere, leading to a productive fantasy season.
2019 – DJ Chark (73/1,008/8) was a late-round flier at wide receiver. He finished 17th in fantasy points (225.80) in PPR leagues after an empty rookie campaign (14/174).
2020 – In mid-August, James Robinson started to hit the backend of fantasy rosters while ending up being an excellent Week 1 pick in leagues with early draft dates. He finished seventh in running back scoring (251.40 fantasy points), thanks to 289 touches. Tee Higgins was consistently selected after round 15 in the high-stakes market. He produced a WR3 season (67/908/6) despite minimal stats over the first two weeks (3/35).
