Once the bedrock of all fantasy football teams, the running back position has undergone quite an evolution. That evolution exists not only on the real-life gridiron, where NFL teams are deploying time-share committees more than ever before but also on fantasy football rosters. With so few bell-cow running backs, the high-end fantasy options are pushed to the first round while any back with questions gets shoved into the running back dead zone.

The fantasy football world is shifting in 2024. The old adage of running backs winning you your league is no longer as true as it used to be. In today’s game (both real and fantastical), wide receivers are growing in importance, and snagging a great one in the later rounds will put you on the path to a trophy. With that in mind, let’s look at the biggest fantasy football wide receiver breakout candidates.

Herbie J Pilato

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

Fantasy football: Must-have players outside of the early rounds

The oldest player on this list by far (he will be 30 in October), Mike Williams has sneaky upside late in drafts. His last few seasons have seen descending production, but that is due to injuries, namely a torn ACL in week three last year. When healthy, he has been stellar on the field. Over 32 games the past three seasons, Williams has averaged 15.0 PPR fantasy points per game. Justin Herbert helped elevate Williams to new heights in Los Angeles, and now Williams will be catching passes from Aaron Rodgers in New York. The Jets signed Williams to a one-year, $10 million prove-it contract. If Williams stays healthy, it is likely that he outplays that contract. Williams is the clear-cut number two option behind Garrett Wilson, as the Jets have a steep talent drop off at wide receiver after Williams. Wilson, Williams, and Breece Hall will all see heavy volume. Is it likely that Williams stays healthy for 17 games in New York? No, but there is a good chance he outplays his ADP outside the top 150 as WR60.
