NFL Breakout Data
Dynasty Players are an inpatient bunch. Drugged up on an intense regimen of YouTube, Spotify, and Twitter content, fantasy managers fidget compulsively and go crazy with pursuing roster perfection. “Should I buy?! How long should I hold?!? What will happen if I sell too early?!?!?” So much of our investment in a player is wrapped up in one singular hope - A Potential Breakout. Like teenagers waiting to hit puberty, dynasty managers agonize over WHEN and IF their players will achieve the sought-after “Elite Social Status.” To set your minds more at ease, the research in this article is dedicated to answering one major question: “When Does Each Position Breakout In The NFL?”

Analytics and projections are pivotal, but having backup plans and contingencies can be equally paramount. What will you do if your starting QB gets hurt? What will happen to your playoff hopes if your stud RB holds out? Will you be able to overcome the devastation you wrought by drafting a rookie TE in the 9th round? The first step in being prepared for these scenarios is to ground both our research and strategy in historical data. The past cannot predict the future any more than data or statistics can. But what history can do is train us for the unforeseen. History is not kind to those who are oblivious to it.
