1. Locked On Fantasy Football – Daily NFL Fantasy Football Podcast frames this episode around six fantasy breakout candidates for 2026. 2. Ross Jackson hosts the episode and gives the rankings, while the Locked On Podcast Network, FanDuel, Five Hour Energy, and Robinhood appear in sponsor breaks. 3. The episode asks which players are priced too low in 2026 consensus rankings and deserve a breakout label. 4. Tyler Shough opens the list, and Ross Jackson cites his 17.1 fantasy points per game as a rookie starter and his 19.6 points per game from Week 13 through 18. 5. Shough’s case also includes a Week 9 first start, two sub-10-point games early, and three games with at least 21 fantasy points late in the season. 6. Ross Jackson says the Saints still have Chris Olave and Juwan Johnson, added Travis Etienne, and improved the interior line with David Edwards. 7. Bhayshul Tuten is the second name, and Ross Jackson treats Jacksonville’s backfield as an opportunity story more than a talent debate. 8. Tuten’s rookie usage included only three games with at least 10 touches, but those games produced 12.3 half-PPR points per game. 9. He also converted five of seven goal-line carries into touchdowns and posted 3.6 yards after contact per attempt. 10. Ross Jackson says Tuten ranked second in the league in missed tackle force rate at 31% among players with at least 75 carries. 11. Rome Odunze is the third breakout pick, and Ross Jackson points to his ninth overall draft slot and his 90 targets and six receiving touchdowns. 12. Odunze’s 2025 season was interrupted by a stress fracture in his foot, and Ross Jackson says the production fell off after the first month. 13. The Bears lost DJ Moore, and Ross Jackson argues Odunze already had the trust of Caleb Williams and Ben Johnson. 14. Oronde Gadsden is the tight end selection, and Ross Jackson highlights his slow start, his Week 6 playing-time jump, and his Week 6 through 9 production burst. 15. In that four-game stretch, Gadsden averaged 15 fantasy points per game, 94 receiving yards per game, and 16 yards per reception. 16. Ross Jackson ties Gadsden’s upside to the Chargers moving on from Keenan Allen’s 122 targets and notes that Gadsden is currently tight end 10 in consensus rankings. 17. The episode’s tone is ranking-based and argumentative, with Ross Jackson repeatedly comparing consensus pricing to his own breakout thresholds. 18. The structure alternates between on-mic analysis and sponsor reads, and the pace stays fast as he moves through six names. 19. Best for fantasy football managers tracking 2026 breakout values. 20. Skip if you want non-fantasy analysis or team-agnostic sports talk.
