Comp: Blake Corum

Third-Year Players are Historically Dynasty Fantasy Football CHEAT CODES…

Trade For These Five Breakout Candidates in 2026:

#1 Rome Odunze

Pre-Injury in 2025…

Weeks 1-4 (Per Game)
- 19.9 Fantasy Points
- 8.8 Targets

Only Nacua & St. Brown were better.

WR7 in Expected PPG. #2 Blake Corum

Kyren Williams signed a three-year contract with the Rams this year…

BUT, Corum flashed some serious potential to close out 2025.

Can make a dangerous 1-2 punch alongside Williams for years to come.

And if Williams misses any time?

RB1.

EXACTLY How the 1st Round of 2026 Fantasy Football Drafts Should Go:

#1 Bijan Robinson

Ranks Among RB Last Year
- PPR Fantasy Points/Game (2nd)
- Receiving Yards (2nd)
- Opportunities (2nd)
- Targets (2nd)

75% Weekly RB1 Rate.

No Debate.

In Games Joe Burrow was Healthy…

Weeks 13-17 Ranks Among WR
- 11.6 Targets per Game (1st)
- 32.2% Target Share (4th)

Both Greater than Puka Nacua.

Yet Puka Led Ja’Marr in
- Touchdowns
- First Downs
- Catches

Burrow > Stafford in 2026.

These two combined for 10.1 half-ppr points in Week 1.

But let’s dig deeper!

Best Trade Targets Before Week 2 ↓

MUST-KNOW Fantasy Football Takeaways from Every Preseason Game So Far:

- Ollie Gordon II is the Achane handcuff. Played every snap with starters. Averaged 5.4 yards per carry.

- Dylan Sampson started for CLE. Quinshon Judkins remains unsigned. Priority Browns RB.

Continued ↓ - Colston Loveland is Chicago’s top receiving TE and can also block, cementing his role.

- Courtland Sutton exploded for 83 yards, 2 contested catches, a TD, and a 50% target share. Looking like a true alpha.

25 Must-Know RB Facts for Fantasy Football Drafts:

1. Bucky Irving & Rachaad White were Top 12 RBs in fantasy points/touch last year in Liam Coen’s offense.

2. Tank Bigsby & Travis Etienne will split Coen’s backfield this year. Both drafted outside Top 100 picks.

Continued ↓ 3. Quinshon Judkins has yet to sign with Cleveland as the team waits on NFL discipline. A short suspension is possible.

4. Dylan Sampson is already working with Cleveland’s first team and looks like a 20-year-old rookie breakout in the making.

MUST-KNOW Fantasy Football Takeaways from Every Preseason Game So Far:

- Ricky Pearsall started with the 49ers and looked like WR1 with Aiyuk and Jennings out.

- Braelon Allen rushed 7 times for 34 yards while Breece Hall had 7 for 26. True committee brewing.

Continued ↓ - Dylan Sampson and Jerome Ford rested with Browns starters. Quinshon Judkins is still unsigned.

- Emeka Egbuka made a one-handed TD grab on his only catch. With Jalen McMillan injured, he could open Week 1 as WR2 next to Mike Evans.

20 Fantasy Football Draft Facts:

1. Rhamondre Stevenson tied for most RB fumbles lost last year and is currently dealing with an unspecified injury.

2. TreVeyon Henderson had 0 fumbles on 667 touches in college and joins a Josh McDaniels offense that's Top 5 in RB target rate. 3. Tyrone Tracy scored as an RB1 every time he played 80%+ snaps last year. Projects as a Top 20 RB for Week 1 with Skattebo hurt.

4. Chase Brown handled 24+ opportunities/game Weeks 9-17 last year, leading all RBs in targets. Fantasy cheat code, RB3 overall in that stretch.
