Fantasy football teams thrive when young players with upside play to their potential and go beyond their preseason expectations. Finding the right players with upside is essential, so this team is being assembled with players who have lots of upside for this season.<\/p>\n
Upside comes in a lot of different ways, and each pick in the starting lineup will have an explanation about what upside the player brings. For the purpose of this article, kickers and defenses will not have upside explanations. This team was drafted in a 12-team PPR league on ESPN with the first overall pick.<\/p>\n
Fantasy Football Draft Guide<\/a><\/p>\n C.J. Stroud performed at an exceedingly high level last year as a rookie where he finished third in the NFL with 273.9 passing yards per game. The Texans offense gave him a new weapon in Stefon Diggs<\/a>, which makes the offense look even better. Stroud’s potential for this season is through the roof in Houston.<\/p>\n When you have the first overall pick, Christian McCaffrey is a player you can’t pass up. He was the best fantasy football player to have that isn’t a quarterback, and he now has the chance to finish as the best player in fantasy even ahead of some quarterbacks. McCaffrey is the best of the best at running back, making him an easy target to grab.<\/p>\n De’Von Achane<\/a> is a player who has the potential to produce RB1 numbers, so getting him as an RB2 is a steal. Achane’s explosiveness in the Dolphins backfield makes him tough to stop, and he always finds ways to get to the next level. He always finds ways to pick up YAC which makes him a huge threat in 2024 behind Tua Tagovailoa.<\/p>\n Remember these names<\/p>\n \ud83d\udd38De\u2019Von Achane<\/p>\n \ud83d\udd38Jonnu Smith<\/p>\n \ud83d\udd38Odell Beckham Jr<\/p>\n \ud83d\udd38Malik Washington<\/p>\n \ud83d\udd38Tanner Conner (on The Dive Bar Podcast at 4:30 Today!)<\/p>\n \ud83d\udd38Jody Fortson<\/p>\n \ud83d\udd34 Fast, sure handed, yac, tough, smart.<\/p>\n These guys are all capable of crushing the defenses spirit after they\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/XZBYfalezE<\/a><\/p>\n — ThatDolphinsRealtor\ud83c\udfe1\ud83d\udc2c\ud83d\udd25 (@ThatFinsRealtor) August 4, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\nQB: C.J.
