Loza: Believing in Brian Thomas Jr. I was staunch in my belief that Thomas would have success in Jacksonville and deliver on his ROI as a result. Thomas was drafted 113th overall behind a number of rookies not named Marvin Harrison Jr. or Malik Nabers. With first-round NFL pedigree, elite measurables and given the 136 looks vacated by Calvin Ridley's exit, BTJ presented incredible value. He closed out his rookie campaign as fantasy's WR4 overall.
Cockcroft: Getting every Chase Brown share I could This was much easier to do prior to Sept. 1, as his ADP jumped three rounds in the week leading into Week 1's Thursday kickoff. Beginning with his Week 4 breakthrough game, he was the No. 6-scoring running back, and following Zack Moss' season-ending injury in Week 8, Brown scored the fourth-most points at the position.
Bowen: Picking up Jonnu Smith I picked up the Dolphins tight end heading into the Week 11 game against the Raiders. Just a hunch, really, based on how he was being deployed in Mike McDaniel's offense as a move target with catch-and-run traits. Smith then dropped 28.1 points on the Vegas defense, and scored 18.6 PPG from Weeks 11 through 18.
