Name the Next Ike Likely This Weekend (1 Viewer)

There will likely 🙂 be one or two more players this weekend who put up what will look like a potentially season-long breakout performance, and are sitting on most (redraft) wires right now, primed for the plucking.

Who you got?
 
If I had room on my roster, I'd be taking a long and sneaky look at a couple rookies, with potentially big opportunities to make impact plays, Devaughn Vele and Ray Davis. Another is AD Mitchell if Josh Downs sits.
 
Most of my leagues are deep, so unfortunately I think a lot of these players are owned in my leagues (Likely was owned in 4/4 of my redraft leagues, by me in 3 of them :wink: ). So it's a long shot, but I'll say Luke McCaffrey. He was finally named a starter, I'm a believer in Daniels, I think Terry will eat but will also draw the majority of defensive attention esp. week 1, and I think no one else on that offense jumps out as a sure thing to me. I can see him being an underneath, middle of the field, second look/check down guy who can feast on sheer usage even if he's only showing mediocre talent. Again, a long shot, but similarly I wouldn't be incredibly surprised to see him take a possession role similar to Christian Kirk where he's getting 8-12 targets, catching 6-9 of them for like 70 yards. Maybe a lucky TD.
 
A back up running back that will suddenly have the job due to injury. If there is handcuff on waivers that could be a RB2ish if they had the job I would see if I could stash them in case of injury. There always seems to be a couple of unfortunate injuries every year in week 1.
 
There Likely isn't one . . . but looking at non-starters who could excel Week #1

It’s always someone well off the radar with small shares. I’m going Bo Melton to recap his late season magic.
 
I have a feeling Colby Parkinson is going to be a popular waiver wire add after Sunday night.
Never fails (I had him and dropped him prior to Sunday because I needed to grab someone else). I don’t regret it…yet, because I like every player I have over him long term (dynasty league). But I think he’s a savvy pickup for whoever has room for him.
