Several factors go into building a winning best-ball team. One of those factors is identifying which players will let your team down and bust. Another is knowing which players have league-winning upside, especially in the later rounds. To help you build an elite best ball roster, I will identify the most likely bust candidate and potential league winner for every NFL team.
Today I break down the NFC South teams: the Atlanta Falcons, Carolina Panthers, New Orleans Saints, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Fantasy Football League Winners: NFC South
Tyler Allgeier (RB – ATL): ADP 144.1 | RB46
Last year Allgeier had an excellent rookie season. Despite playing over 60% of the snaps in only two contests, the former BYU star was the RB27, averaging 9.5 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. Furthermore, he was one of 15 running backs with over 1,000 rushing yards, including only one of two rookies. Unfortunately, that didn’t stop the Falcons from using the eighth overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft on Bijan Robinson. While Allgeier’s fantasy value has taken a massive hit, the second-year player is arguably the top handcuff in the NFL. The former BYU star will be a league winner if Robinson misses significant time.
Miles Sanders (RB – CAR): ADP 64.4 | RB20
The former Penn State was awful in 2021, scoring zero touchdowns. Thankfully, Sanders bounced back last year, finishing as the RB13, averaging 12.2 fantasy points per game. After failing to find the end zone two years ago, he had 11 rushing touchdowns in 2022. However, Sanders has even more upside with the Panthers. Last year Jalen Hurts limited his rushing upside by totaling 13 touchdowns, the second-most in the NFL. That won’t be the case in Carolina. Meanwhile, running backs averaged 116.5 targets per year in the four full years Frank Reich was with the Indianapolis Colts. Don’t be surprised when Sanders has a career season in the passing game.
