Ranking the Best Fantasy Football Breakout Seasons of the Past Decade

The awesome, frustrating, addicting thing about fantasy football is that no matter how many draft magazines you read or how many depth charts you comb through searching for sleepers, there are always breakout years that no one saw coming.

Maybe you had an inkling that Patrick Mahomes would be special in his first season as a starter, or that Lamar Jackson would thrive in his second season in the NFL, but you certainly didn't draft them in the first round during their breakout year. On average, neither one even went in the first seven rounds of fantasy drafts the year he won MVP.
