These are seven players who are facing a critical point in their careers. First, unroll that 12-team 20-round draft board with the 2023 bye weeks from the Commish Kit and slam it up on your wall. Are you ready? Let’s go!

Here are the seven fantasy football players who are on the hot seat. First up is Cam Akers. He has the potential to break out if McVay runs the ball more, but I’m not sold on him yet. So, I’ll say BUST for now. I’m not wasting a draft label on any Rams running backs.

Next is JK Dobbins. He’s had injury issues, and I don’t see him thriving in a crowded backfield with Melvin Gordon. BUST for Dobbins. I’ll let somebody else draft him.

D’Andre Swift is another player under the spotlight. I’m worried about the Eagles’ running back committee; that’s a red flag for fantasy football owners. Another BUST here. He gets hurt every year.

On to Javonte Williams – it’s a wait-and-see situation. I’m not overly excited, but he might surprise us, especially with new head coach Sean Payton. So, cautiously, I’ll say BREAKOUT. I’ll draft him in the later rounds if he’s available.

Calvin Ridley is my BREAKOUT pick. He’s looking fantastic, and with a great connection with Trevor Lawrence, he’s set to explode! He looks great in the #0 jersey. I’m gambling on him. No pun intended.

Now, let’s talk about Kyle Pitts. He’s been disappointing so far, and last season he was used as a blocking tight end. Until the Falcons get a reliable quarterback, I’ll have to say BUST.

Finally, we have Tua Tagovailoa. He’s talented, but his concussion history is a big concern. Until he proves he can stay healthy, I’ll label him as a BUST. I’ll still draft Tyreek Hill and Jalen Waddle if they are still on the draft board labels. On the bright side, Tua got a badass arm sleeve on his right arm. He said it was inspired by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.

So, there you have it – make or break players for fantasy football. Keep an eye on these players; they could either make it big or fizzle out.
