We are in the final days until kickoff of the 2021 NFL Season, which means it’s time for the RotoViz Staff to give their boldest predictions. These #taeks aren’t so bold that they are wildly impossible, but rather are calculated predictions that are more likely to occur than the public believes.
Michael Dubner – Tee Higgins is a WR1
This is my follow-up on last year’s bold prediction success of Will Fuller being a WR1. Higgins is currently being drafted as the WR23 in the middle of the fifth round on FFPC. With Burrow presumably healthy, Higgins is the ideal year-two breakout candidate, the year with the highest WR breakout rate.
As a rookie, Higgins averaged four points per game more with Burrow under-center. The RotoViz Projections are bullish on Higgins with a top-10 projection at the position. Higgins is set to be one of the best values in 2021 fantasy football drafts and is one of my highest owned players in Best Ball.
