Fantasy Football Rankings 2021: Breakouts from proven model that predicted Gibson's standout NFL season - CBS Sports

The new NFL season is approaching rapidly and owners everywhere are keeping tabs on the latest training camp news. The Bears and Patriots seem content to let rookie quarterbacks Justin Fields and Mac Jones sit behind veterans Andy Dalton and Cam Newton, but in San Francisco it appears Trey Lance could push Jimmy Garoppolo. Can any of the five first-round quarterbacks provide immediate production, elevating them in the 2021 Fantasy football rankings?

Lance's dynamic athletic ability and big arm could make him one of the 2021 Fantasy football breakouts, but can he surpass Garoppolo and deliver on an 11th-round 2021 Fantasy football ADP? These are all questions that are best answered by a reliable set of NFL Fantasy football rankings 2021. Before making any 2021 Fantasy football picks, be sure to check out the 2021 Fantasy football cheat sheets from the proven computer model at SportsLine.

Last year, the model predicted Washington Football Team running back Antonio Gibson would be a breakout. He had an eighth-round ADP, but SportsLine's model had him listed ahead of players such as Leonard Fournette, Tarik Cohen and D'Andre Swift, all of whom were being drafted earlier. The result: Gibson piled up over 1,000 yards from scrimmage and scored 11 touchdowns, making him a top-20 Fantasy back.

The model is powered by the same people who generated projections for all three major Fantasy sites, and it beat human experts last season when there was a big difference in ranking. The projections update multiple times daily, so you're always getting the best Fantasy football advice. 

Now, SportsLine has simulated the entire NFL season 10,000 times and released its latest Fantasy football rankings 2021, identifying several potential Fantasy football breakouts. Head to SportsLine now to see them

Top 2021 Fantasy football breakouts

One of the 2021 Fantasy football breakouts the model is predicting: Jets running back Michael Carter. After sharing time in the North Carolina backfield with second-round pick Javonte Williams, Carter was taken in the fourth round by the Jets and looks like he'll be firmly in the mix for touches with Lamical Perine and Tevin Coleman this season.

Carter finished his collegiate career with back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons and has relatively low mileage after touching the ball just 596 times in Chapel Hill. However, he was wildly productive, producing 4,060 scrimmage yards and 28 scores. That's a big reason why the model has him outperforming a handful of top-20 PPR running backs from 2020 like Kenyan Drake, Nyheim Hines and J.D. McKissic.

Another breakout that SportsLine's Fantasy football rankings 2021 have identified: Jaguars running back Travis Etienne. The former Clemson star is an electric athlete with home-run ability, but he showed dramatic improvement catching the ball out of the backfield. Head coach Urban Meyer has expressed desire to use him in a hybrid receiver/running back role similar to how he utilized Percy Harvin at Florida.

If that is how Etienne is deployed, his relationship with No. 1 overall pick Trevor Lawrence should pay dividends as a receiver. Etienne and Lawrence were college teammates at Clemson, with Etienne receiving the majority of his 102 catches for 1,155 yards and eight touchdowns from Lawrence during his career with the Tigers. With Etienne potentially in line for 12 to 15 touches per game, the model likes Etienne ahead of backs like J.K. Dobbins and Clyde Edwards-Helaire, who are being drafted at least 14 picks earlier on average according to 2021 Fantasy football ADP.

How to find proven 2021 Fantasy football rankings

SportsLine is also extremely high on a second-year running back who will significantly outperform his 2021 Fantasy football ADP. He's going in the third round on average, but the model says he'll outperform second-round options like Ezekiel Elliott, Joe Mixon and Nick ChubbYou can only see who it is, and the 2021 Fantasy football rankings for every player, at SportsLine.

So which 2021 Fantasy Football breakouts should you target? And which running back shocks the NFL with a top-10 performance? Visit SportsLine now to get 2021 Fantasy Football cheat sheets for every single position, all from the model that called Antonio Gibson's huge season, and find out.
