Bills WR Skyler Bell among 3 AFC East breakout fantasy candidates

The Patriots, Bills, Jets, and Dolphins have a combined 10 players inside the top 80 overall ADP. These guys are, of course, must-draft options. But who are some under-the-radar breakout candidates?

Fourth-round rookie WR Skyler Bell probably will have a fantastic NFL career. The fantasy market believes he'll have to wait at least one season, handing him a WR99 / overall-277 ADP. His depth chart competition includes 29-year-old D.J. Moore, ceiling-capped Khalil Shakir and Joshua Palmer, and enigmatic Keon Coleman. So yes, Bell might have to wait. But he arguably has the second- or third-highest upside of any Buffalo WR in 2026. That makes him a breakout candidate.

Don't sleep on Kenyon Sadiq (TE20 / overall-155 ADP), the consensus #1 tight end in this year's draft. Sadiq joins a beleaguered Jets franchise desperate for a #3 pass-catcher behind Garrett Wilson and (if the team commits to him) Breece Hall. 2025 second-rounder Mason Taylor was supposed to be that guy. The fact that New York lunged for Sadiq suggests they have big plans for him.

Finally, Miami rookie Chris Bell is recovering from an ACL tear that makes him questionable for Week 1. That has kept his ADP relatively low: WR89 / overall-244. History suggests he might not be fully 100% until next season. Regardless, the Dolphins are rolling out a relatively weak and/or inexperienced receiving corps. Bell easily could lead this team in targets, making him a must-draft in deep leagues.
