Welcome in everybody to Fantasy Pros. This is the Fantasy Football Podcast. It's me, Joey P. Joe P. Zapia. And today I'm here with my two best friends, D-Bro, Derek Brown, the King of Bros, and Andrew Erickson, Mr. Pigpot Energy himself. And the three amigos are here again. That's right, because you can't get enough of us here on the channel. We are the straw that stirs the drink. And we're going to talk about four second year breakout candidates. That's right. Sometimes it doesn't always happen in year one for people. Just ask Andrew Erickson. That first year his rookie season was really tough. He was falling over his words. He was forgetting player names who guys played on different teams. Did that any, anything going on the ground? He did the offseason. That's right. Yeah, that first plant foot, still a struggle bus for him. But after that, he put his nose to the grindstone. And he really pushed forward and look at what he's become now. A superstar in the world of fantasy sports. Now, we're still waiting for the breakout for Derek Brown. He's in year five. It still hasn't happened. But sometimes it just doesn't happen. So we're going to talk about some second year guys here that are on the precipice of maybe some great things in fantasy football. Before we get to it, subscribe to the channel right now. Drop your comments below about your favorite second year breakouts. We love to hear from our people here. But let's start here with Andrew Erickson. Why don't you give us your big second year breakout

performer number one for 2026? Speaking of superstars, I think Omerian Hampton can have a superstar

level jump in year two.

Last year, he had to overcome a lot as a rookie in the Chargers offense that was really hurt

by injuries all over the place.

The offensive line was got to buy injuries.

Hampton himself missed a lot of games.

He only played in nine games as a rookie.

And I think that things are going to improve.

In year two, you have Mike McDaniel coming in as

the new offensive coordinator for the Los Angeles Chargers. And what I like about him is how often

he targeted his running backs as the head coach of the Miami Dolphins. Three of the four seasons he

was head coach, they were top three in running back target chair. So last year, Hampton flashed as a receiver. I believe he had

five games at least four or more receptions. So I think Hampton, especially with what he did as a

rusher in the second half of the season when he was playing, he was 11th and yards after

contact per attempt. PFF ranked him as the eighth best graded rusher. He showed that he could

handle a full workload.

He played four games with at least 79% plus Snapshare, average 17.5 fantasy points per game.

And overall, average 17.3 touches per game tied for top 12 at the position.

So although it wasn't a complete rookie year, a lot of the running backs is rookies
