It has come to announce our 2026 Fantasy Football Breakout Player of the Year. There were a ton of strong candidates, but one player stood out amongst the crowd. We will be going over a top honorable mention at each position before announcing our Breakout Player of the Year.
Honorable Mentions
QB Malik Willis, Miami Dolphins
Willis is the rare boom-or-bust quarterback that we get to draft once every few years. We have seen stars come from this spot like Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen. The ceiling is immense. However, this is also where we have found Trey Lance and Justin Fields, and you could even say Malik Willis in the past.
Nevertheless, we are willing to roll the dice on Willis. He looked great as both a runner and passer with limited playing time last season, and there is a reason that the coaching staff and front office that watched him every day in practice in Green Bay made him the Dolphins' top priority this offseason after taking over in Miami.
