If you want an edge in your fantasy drafts this year, listen up.

Because there are five breakout players that I'm targeting this year that can absolutely change your entire season in fantasy. I'm not talking about some random sleepers. I'm talking about guys who already have legit paths to upside on their teams. And if you don't know me, I'm Salvatra. I've helped thousands of fantasy players win their leagues and schmack around their friends, and I plan to do the same with this video right now for you. And let's start it off with the quarterback position.

Usually we don't dive into quarterbacks, but this one is very exciting. I want to talk about Drake May because this guy, not only last year as a rookie and we're definitely going to get into that, but all the way back to college. A couple years back has been a baller ever since then. Okay, don't take my word for it. Let's just look at it. His final two years of college at UNC, this is according to player profiler stat. You could see right here, he goes for 4,300 yards. He's averaging 8.4 yards per attempt, completing 66% of his passes, 38 touchdowns to just seven interceptions. And here's the big one. This is why he's a player that I think can break out this year. It's he has the mobility. Nearly 700 rushing yards in his junior year of college or second year of college. And here's the thing about that. That also factors in in college sacks. So he had more than 700 rushing yards. The guy was absolutely elite when it came to mobility. And then despite losing some key pieces in his offense, he comes back in 2023 and he still has a nice year, 3,600 yards. He's averaging still 8.5 yards per 10, completing over 63% of his passes. The touchdowns went down. The overall rushing went down a little bit as well as the offense just in general wasn't as good. They didn't play as many games because they didn't go as deep. So overall, though, final two years of college, Drake May was great. He ends up going as a top 10 overall pick in the draft to the New England Patriots. And when we got to see him last year in his rookie season, it was pretty good. And the guy was able to produce as a rookie despite basically the entire situation around him just being crap. I mean, you could start with the offensive line, according to PFF, which I trust are offensive line rankings, but really any system, wherever you're looking for your offensive line, the huddle, wherever you're looking, they were a bottom five unit and pass protection. PFF has them as the second worst unit only next to the New Orleans Saints, so that was pretty bad. Okay, let's look at the past catchers. If we look at this, this is the depth chart for the Patriots last year, right? last year during the season, I believe this was in early October. So right when the season is starting to get humming, this is who they had at wide receiver overall. The Mario Douglas, who is probably their best wide receiver. And look, he's a solid wide receiver, but he's a slot receiver, pretty limited overall, not a big play guy. That was the guy they were relying on to kind of move the chains for their offense. Other than that, KJ Osborne, who had just joined the team from the Vikings, sort of a

journeyman, Jalen Polka rookie, Javan Baker rookie, they didn't do anything in their rookie year. Tyquan Thornton since they drafted him and probably reached on him in the drafts, hasn't done much. Kishan Bouti towards the end of the year was earning like five and six targets.

Maybe he'd make a splash play here or there.

But I just named a bunch of guys.

None of those guys are wide receiver ones on basically any other offense in the NFL. Probably none of them outside of maybe DeMario Douglas on some bad offenses would be a wide receiver too. Like that's how bad the past catchers were here. In fact, Hunter Henry, the tight end actually led the team and targets and receptions in any stat that really matters. And last time I checked, Hunter Henry isn't like a Trey McBride, George Kittle, Brockbauer's level tight end. That's not a good thing if Hunter Henry is leading your team in receiving. And last year they also had Ramandre Stevenson and Antonio Gibson as their backs, both veterans who can catch some passes. Neither of them though are reliable when it comes to ball security issues, issues, when it comes to pass protection, when it comes to creating explosive plays consistently. So what do you end up getting? You end up getting the New England Patriots going out this offseason and saying, hey, Drake May as a kid, he still is a kid, but a rookie last year looked really good with everything bad around him. Let's improve those things. Because we saw the glimpses of it from week six on last year when he actually started to get consistent starts. In those 12 games, his final 12 starts, the dude was averaging over 17 fantasy points per game, over 34 rushing yards per game. 17 fantasy points per game, a lot of that because of what he was doing on the ground, is awesome. I mean, he was a borderline top 10 quarterback last year, despite being in a terrible situation. And if you're curious, that 17-game pace would have had Drake May throwing for 3,800 yards, 26 touchdowns, and almost 600 rushing yards. Now, that's a serious dual threat quarterback, and you can see it right here, historically efficient as a rookie last year. He was first in yards per attempt and first in success rate as a rusher overall. He was ahead of Josh Allen. He was ahead of Robert Griffin. This is talking about quarterbacks entering their rookie year. Very quietly, Drake May, yes, was one of the most, if not, based on these two stats right here, the most efficient rookie quarterback in terms of rushing. Okay, so that's awesome. Let's look at some other things from a scramble perspective last year. Drake May was only behind Jaden Daniels and scramble yards per game, 31 per game, ahead of Jalen Hertz, ahead of Lamar Jackson, right? And if you look at these exact same quarterbacks, those same quarterbacks by designed rushing yards per game, Jaden Daniels, this is rushing per game, Jalen Hertz, J. Lamar Jackson, and Drake May, just 0.1. All this goes to show you,

Drake May, just 0.1. All this goes to show you, Drake May was putting on a ton of yardage last year on scrambles, which are not just design plays, they're improvised, compared to having design plays as a runner, and maybe there's a little bit more upside if we can get some more design plays as well. Now, I mentioned the Patriots did a lot this offseason to basically change this offense, and it's because they had to. The situation was terrible. So they go out there and they try and improve that offensive line that was bottom five by spending their first pick, a top five overall pick on probably the best tackle on paper in this class in Will Campbell. Okay, so that's great. They go out in the draft and they get Morgan Moses to tackle. so now they have their offensive line from a tackle perspective. It looks like it's going to be, we hope week one now solved that some reliable players, as much as a rookie could be reliable, a top five overall pick who look great in college. Okay, but it doesn't stop there. In terms of the weapons, they were awful last year. You're relying on Demerio Douglas as your number one pass catcher. now you bring in Stefan Diggs, a player who is coming off of an injury is a little bit older, but he has been a proven number one receiver for years in the NFL. You bring in Matt Collins, who I actually think Matt Collins in this offense could be a starter. Like we saw him start for a decent amount of games last year with the Bills and Josh Allen and Matt Collins actually look good out there. Good for what his role was, I should say. Then they draft Kyle Williams, a third round rookie. If he's able to hit the ground running,

he's a player on the outside who can create a lot of explosive plays, which is what they were hoping Javon Baker could have done last year as a rookie but just wasn't able to or Ty Quan Thorin just wasn't able to. They draft the second rounder and Trayvion Henderson who can contribute not only in terms of explosive plays out of the backfield on the ground, but also as a pass catcher, adding yet another dimension for Drake May to actually pick up some easy yardage. So now we're looking at a wide receiver room that I think has been nicely turned over here. You get some veterans in Stefan Diggs and Matt Collins, okay, that's solid. You get Kyle Williams, you'll see what you get from him. If the third rounder can hit the ground running, That's awesome. And now Demerio Douglas, instead of being your number one wide receiver, at the very best can be the number two.

And maybe even the number three if Kyle Williams can end up hitting for you. So this starts to look really good now. And of course, the coaching situation, we can say there's more adults in the room this year. When you're talking about Mike Rable coming in as the head coach here, you feel a better defensive presence one. Running the ball, just a fundamental should be there, which should help the quarterback, his second year quarterback in Drake May build off of last year. Josh McDaniels, who really knows how to get the best out of his players, especially utilizing slot players as well, running backs out of the backfield. That's exactly what they did in the draft. They went out there. They got a running back out of the backfield. They got Stefan Diggs and Free Agency who could be somebody who can work out of the slot. They still have Demario Douglas. So now the pieces start to come together when you factor in the coaching. And really, all this just starts to add up to Drake May having a pretty big second year. And the Draft Kings lines are kind of alluding to this. Over 3,200 is his over under on passing yards. So that's great. If you look at

his draft king's yardage in terms of rushing, 400, 450 rushing yards is what we're looking at there. I actually like the over on that one right now. If I was to take a player prop, I'm going to kind of wait until we get into August to see what happens with camp before doing that. But I think the passing yards are about right. I think the rushing yards are a little bit low. And overall, Drake May right now

goes in the ninth round of fantasy drafts as the 112th overall pick. If you're playing in 10 team formats, he's basically an 11th or a 12th round pick right now. And I think this is great. He goes after Justin Herbert. I'd rather have Drake May from a fantasy perspective, not a real life perspective. Definitely rather have him at cost over Jared Gough right now, who just lost some

offensive lineman, who lost his offensive coordinator, who's coming off of an extremely efficient and career type year in terms of production. And now the situation looks a little bit worse in Detroit. So give me Drake May as a breakout player this year that I think we need to be targeting. Then also give me the top five overall pick. The number two overall pick in the draft, Travis Hunter, the wide receiver slash cornerback prospect who lands on the Jacksonville Jaguars.

This is a guy who is one of the most, if not the most unique prospect we have ever seen come out of college. The guy wins the Heisman as not only the best wide receiver in the country, the Bolitnikov Award, but also one of if not the best cornerbacks in the country last year as well. I mean, And that's just insane, but let's focus, since we're talking about fantasy football here, specifically on what he or what we can expect from him as a receiver. Well, first off, according to player profile, stats right here in college, I mean, this is a guy last year who splitting time at wide receiver and cornerback during the games was able to put up 96 receptions, over 1,200 receiving yards and elite 26% target share everything starts to check out a massive 15

touchdowns. Just a reminder as well, this guy's not like a 23-year-old who's coming out. This is just a 21-year-old who only spent three years in college. And again, during that time, he was splitting his time overall. And the advanced metrics, like, those are just the accounting stats, right? The advanced metrics on what he was actually doing on a route by route basis, let's look at those because they're also nuts. And for that, we can look at this Matt Harmon tweet, Matt Harmon of reception perception perception. All this guy basically does, well, he does a lot. But one thing that he does really well, he has his site reception perception where he basically just breaks down success rates against man's own coverage he watches basically every single snap

for a lot of wide receivers and that's what he did right here for travis hunter and this is what

he said about Travis hunter the highlights 92nd percentile success rate against man coverage meaning

top 10 percent of anybody he's ever charted 97 percentile against zone top 3 percent of anybody's

ever targeted this one's insane 97 percentile against press coverage. So this is a guy who

was frequently making defenders miss after the catch. SACs here says here rare catchability in general.

This is a guy who was literally a top 5 to top 10% prospect that Matt Harmon has ever chartered. He actually

would go on to say that maybe the best prospect that he's ever chartered in his model. And that
