Who are the biggest fantasy football breakout candidates for the 2026 season? Joe Pisapia is joined by Andrew Erickson and Tera Roberts to break down the second-year players they believe are primed for massive fantasy production.

The trio discusses why Quentin Johnston could thrive in Mike McDaniel's new-look Chargers offense, why Omarion Hampton has RB1 overall upside, and why Cam Skattebo is being overlooked after an injury-shortened rookie season. They also dive into why Emeka Egbuka, Tyler Shough, and Isaiah Likely are all poised to take significant steps forward in 2026 fantasy football drafts.

If you're preparing for your fantasy football draft and looking for league-winning breakout players before their ADP rises, this episode is packed with actionable insights.
