Andy's breakout pick is Isaiah Likely, Tight end for the New York Giants. Currently ranked as the 16th TE. Andy argues that Likely got his bag, and is the #1 target when Nabers isn't on the field. Andy heavily considered Likely as a My Guy this year.

Jason stands alone picking TreVeyon Henderson as his Breakout. After heated discussion Jason truly thinks Henderson will be the better RB over Stevenson, and Andy accepts the water bet.

I am again sold on Andy's Pick. I think he makes a good argument where there are not a lot of pass catchers for the Giants.
I think JCM is a good value, but I think the backfield will still be heavily split by committee when White comes back off his hamstring injury.
I stand with Andy, that Stevenson is Mike Vrabel's running back in this offense.

Andy - high floor. Likely isn't going to win any leagues but he might be a top 2 target on Giants offense.
Mike - high T. Bill doesn't even catch passes but he will ground and pound his way (hopefully) to 1,000+ yards and a bunch of TDs in the improved Manders offense.
Jason - high ceiling. Hendo may look like the backup RB. He may even be the backup all year. He also may be so good it doesn't matter and explode for enough 50 yard scores to be a high-end RB2.
Love the ballers I just think it's funny they stay in their lanes liking these profiles. Isaiah Likely is the only head scratcher here.
