Fantasy football owners know all about the sophomore slump. But the owners most likely to charge forward and win leagues in 2018 know some sophomores make superb value targets during fantasy drafts.
A sophomore surge is more common than owners might think—look at Jared Goff's turnaround a year ago, both because of his own development and due to some smooth coaching decisions around him.
While some candidates already broke out as rookies (think Deshaun Watson and JuJu Smith-Schuster), plenty remain as viable breakout candidates based on situations like Goff's, a general uptick in talent or simply more chances to make an impact.
