The overwhelming majority of elite fantasy receivers come from real-life playoff teams, or teams that are at least in the playoff hunt. So, a good way to find a breakout WR is to try and figure out which team could make a surprise playoff run. Ja’Marr Chase was going in the sixth round of fantasy drafts last year, and after a surprising run by the Bengals he ended the year as a top-4 player at the position. We map out our playoff picture, and come back around to figure out—based on our playoff feelings—which players we think are a good fantasy value. Check out The Ringer’s Fantasy Football Draft Guide!
