3 Players That Could Win You Your 2020 Fantasy Football League

Every year, there are certain players that show up disproportionately often on championship fantasy football teams. In 2019 this was clearly Lamar Jackson, who absolute dominated every other quarterback in fantasy output after often being available as a late-round pick.

Finding these players is key to putting yourself in the best spot to take home your fantasy football league trophy.

With that in mind, here are three potential league-winners you should target in 2020 fantasy football drafts.

3. Will Fuller, WR, Houston Texans

Will Fuller has struggled to stay healthy at the NFL level, but when he's on the field he is clearly a baller. If we remove the two games in which he was limited to fewer than 20 snaps, Fuller averaged 14.7 PPR fantasy points per game, which would have made him a top-24 wideout on the season. And now, Fuller doesn't have to compete for targets with DeAndre Hopkins, who hogged 30 percent of the Texans' available targets in 2019 and 32 percent in 2018. With the chance to see No. 1 wide receiver volume, Fuller could be in for a huge breakout.

2. Adam Thielen, WR, Minnesota Vikings

Speaking of available volume, Stefon Diggs' departure leaves Adam Thielen as the top dog in the Minnesota Vikings' passing game. Diggs saw 450 targets over the last four seasons, and the Vikes really haven't brought in anybody that looks like they'll be able to fill his shoes, at least in the short term. Injuries held Thielen back in 2019, but in 2018 he racked up 113 receptions even while competing for volume with Diggs. If the Vikes are even a little bit more pass-heavy than they were last season, look for Thielen to be among the league's leaders in receptions.

1. James Conner, RB, Pittsburgh Steelers

James Conner was a disaster for fantasy football managers in 2019, struggling with injuries and finishing just 35th among all running backs in fantasy output. The whole Steelers offense struggled with Ben Roethlisberger on the shelf, though, and now Big Ben is back and healthy for 2020. With Roethlisberger healthy in 2018, Conner finished sixth among RBs in fantasy points, despite playing just 13 games. He averaged 21.5 PPR points per game in 2018, which is a mark that only Christian McCaffrey hit in 2019. Conner has the upside to provide first-round RB numbers while he's being drafted in the third round, according to Fantasy Pros' average draft position (ADP) data.
