Top 2026 Fantasy football picks, advice 

The Fantasy football draft bible features 2026 Fantasy football breakout players from R.J. White, including:

Buccaneers WR Emeka Egbuka: "Egbuka burst onto the season with a two-touchdown performance in his professional debut, and by the time he put a bow on back-to-back 100-yard performances against talented Eagles and Seahawks defenses, he had averaged 89 yards and a touchdown over his first five games. He had just one 100-yard game and one TD after that impressive start to his career, struggling to turn targets into receptions for several weeks before Mike Evans and Chris Godwin finally made it on the field together from Week 15 on. With Evans now gone for good, Egbuka has the opportunity to ascend to the top target-getter of the offense."

Patriot RB TreVeyon Henderson: "While Henderson managers last year were probably hoping for more than a timeshare with Rhamondre Stevenson, 1,132 total yards and 10 touchdowns from a rookie running back is nothing to scoff at. He scored multiple TDs in four different games and looked like a league-winner in the middle of the season when Stevenson was hurt. While Henderson delivered poor results in the postseason, the Patriots faced a run of stellar defenses, and teams will have to respect the passing game more with the additions at receiver. I expect Henderson to see a bigger consistent workload, which should give him a chance to finish top 12 at RB." Get the full Fantasy football draft guide over at SportsLine.
