Ask 100 fantasy football owners how they view the term “breakout” and maybe we wouldn’t get 100 different responses, but it’s a bit like the term “sleeper” in that there’s no true definition. If we truly delve into what value means -- and how one might act on the term is perhaps more critical -- we’d likely see that how a football player breaks out depends originally on his baseline expectations. I do think Indianapolis Colts stud Andrew Luck has bigger seasons in front of him, but he’s not a breakout by a normal definition. He’s already awesome. Similarly, the breakout for Jacksonville Jaguars sophomore Blake Bortles, the third overall pick and first passer in the 2014 draft, would be viewed differently.
