Episode notes
Early Picks Must Truly Leap Forward
- Brock Bowers and Trey McBride need meaningful improvements over last year to count as true breakouts, not just repeat top finishes.
- The bar for breakout at tight end is higher when you draft them early, especially Bowers in round two.
Turn Red-Zone Targets Into TDs
- Convert red-zone looks into touchdowns to turn high-volume receiving seasons into breakout years.
- Trey McBride needs only a small bump in TDs to vault into elite fantasy TE territory.
Efficiency Gains Can Create Breakouts
- Improved QB and play caller can lift efficiency metrics as well as raw touchdowns for a tight end.
- Bowers could see higher catch rate, yards per target, and touchdowns with better QB/OC, creating breakout value.
