Several factors go into building a winning fantasy football 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 fantasy football roster, I will identify the most likely bust candidate and potential league winner for every NFL team.
Today, I give my fantasy football league-winner candidates from the NFC East teams – the Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants, Philadelphia Eagles, and Washington Commanders.

Fantasy Football League Winners: NFC East
Fantasy Football League Winners
Wan’Dale Robinson (NYG): ADP 167.3 | WR74
Robinson’s fantasy value got a massive boost following Darren Waller’s retirement. Daniel Jones loves to target the middle part of the field, which will help the slot receiver. The former Kentucky star had a 26% target per route run rate and a 20.2% first-read target share in the five games he played with Jones last year (per Fantasy Points Data). Furthermore, Robinson had six or more targets in 45% of his games last season. He should be the clear-cut No. 2 receiving option behind Malik Nabers.
Will Shipley (PHI): ADP 213.2 | RB67
Philadelphia surprised many this offseason when they signed Saquon Barkley to a massive contract in free agency. Unfortunately, the superstar running back has dealt with numerous injuries in his career, missing 25.3% of the games, including three contests last year. Therefore, Shipley could have significant upside if Barkley misses time in 2024. The rookie running back had 11 or more rushing touchdowns in two of his three college seasons. Furthermore, he can make plays in the passing game, totaling 85 receptions for 602 receiving yards at Clemson.
Luke McCaffrey (WAS): ADP 185.3 | WR81
While the hottest rumor in the NFL is about Brandon Aiyuk wanting to play with Jayden Daniels, fantasy players should target McCaffrey late in their drafts. The rookie is still learning the wide receiver position after starting his college career as a quarterback. Yet, he ranked second in the draft class among wide receivers in contested catches last season (17), finishing only behind Rome Odunze (per PFF). While McCaffrey won’t replace Terry McLaurin as the No. 1 receiver, don’t be surprised if he pushes Jahan Dotson for snaps and targets.
