2010 Breakout Candidates

Next fantasy football season these are the guys you are going to want to target in the later rounds when most of the studs are off the board.

Devin Aromashadu, a WR for the Chicago Bears, stepped his game up at the end of the season last year when Devin Hester went down. And I believe he'll be able to carry that success over next season. Aromashadu 22 catches, 282 yards and 4 touchdowns in the last 4 games of the season last year. Which made him a viable #2 Fantasy receiver. Despite that success, Aromashadu will probably be drafted as the 50th-60th best WR! If you can get "Z" (Nickname given by his QB, Jay Cutler) in the 40's range then I think that's a huge steal. Some of the reasons why I like Z is because he doesn't have any stand out receivers in front of him on the depth chart, and because he has a good relationship with his quarterback Cutler.

Felix Jones, running back, Dallas Cowboys. As much as I hate Dallas, I love this kid. He averaged 9 yards per carry at Arkansas........Which means he's a big play threat. Felix has had trouble with durability but if he can stay healthy he'll be a top 10 RB this year. He can catch the ball well out of the back field and hes lightning fast. That coupled with the recent decline of Marion Barber should have him in line to receive the majority of the carries in Big D next year. If you can get Felix Jones as your 3rd running back, where he's typically being drafted, you might have just secured a fantasy championship.
