Flea Flicker Breakout Players For 2018-NFC. Again.

This is the third time that I've named breakout players since May. That seems excessive. Halfway through this scintillating preseason breakout players are on my mind again. Here's one more look at a potential breakout player from each NFC team. I've also listed my previous two selections.

Minnesota Vikings
Now: Laquon Treadwell, WR
July: Laquon Treadwell, WR
May: Dalvin Cook, RB
Dalvin Cook? Jaleel Johnson? Anthony Harris? David Morgan? Mike Hughes? Each could be the pick. I picked Laquon Treadwell as the Vikings breakout player last year. He didn't. He's yet to produce as a first round pick should so most consider him a bust. His slate's clean with new offensive coordinator John DeFilippo and new quarterback Kirk Cousins. Treadwell's lack of production through two seasons isn't due to lack of effort. He's working hard. According to head coach Mike Zimmer, Treadwell sometimes works too hard. He's often working after practices. So much so that he's often spent for the next practice. He will get opportunities this year and I believe, again, that he'll break out.

Green Bay Packers
Now: TEs
July: Jaire Alexander, CB
May: Blake Martinez, LB
The Packers added Jimmy Graham and Marcedes Lewis this offsesaon. Aaron Rogers doesn't need a big target to be an effective quarterback. A pass catcher of any size is a terrific target for a quarterback as accurate as Rodgers. Graham and Lewis are giant targets and matchup nightmares.

Chicago Bears
Now: Anthony Miller, WR
July: Roquan Smith, LB
May: Roquan Smith, LB
Tight end Trey Burton was nearly the pick but Anthony Miller gets the nod. The Bears need Mitchell Trubisky to be the quarterback that he was drafted to be. The best way to get there is to surround him with weapons. In a receiver room that was bolstered in free agency by Allen Robinson, Miller might be the most talented pass catcher in the room. As a rookie.

Detroit Lions
Now: Kenny Golladay, WR
July: Kenny Golladay, WR
May: Jarrad Davis, LB
Kenny Golladay had some nice moments last year as a rookie. He should have many more in his second season. He has the size to be open even when he's not. He has a quarterback in Matthew Stafford that can get him the ball anywhere on the field.

New York Giants
Now: Evan Engram, TE
July: Alec Ogeltree, LB
May: Evan Engram
The Giants have so many explosive weapons on offense. Odell Beckham Jr. and Saquon Barkley will get so much attention that Evan Engram and Sterling Shepard could get a little lost. I don't think that I've ever seen one team field physical freaks the likes of Beckham, Barkley, and Engram.

Washington Redskins
Now: Jonathan Allen, DE
July: Jonathan Allen, DE
May: Jonathan Allen, DE
Well, this was a consensus. It felt like Allen was on the verge of breaking out last as a rookie until his season was cut short by a foot injury. He's a terrific, disruptive player that can line up anywhere on the defensive front.

Philadelphia Eagles
Now: Sidney Jones, CB
July: Corey Clement, RB
May: Dallas Goedert, TE
Sidney Jones was one of the my favorite players in the 2017 NFL Draft. A pre-draft injury essentially made his rookie season a redshirt season. The injury also made him a second steal for the Eagles. He's healthy now and he should make an impact. 

Dallas Cowboys
Now: Michael Gallup, WR
July: Michael Gallup, WR
May: Jourdan Lewis, CB
The Cowboys have a giant need for a receiver to step up. Without having played an NFL game Michael Gallup is already the most promising receiver on the team.

New Orleans Saints
Now: Marcus Williams, S
July: Marcus Williams, S
May: Marcus Williams, S
Another consensus. Marcus Williams was the target of way too much criticism for his passive attempt to tackle Stefon Diggs on that thrilling final play of the Saints season. The Saints wouldn't have even been in a position to win the game if not for Williams' interception that triggered his team's comeback. He's a terrific safety and looks like a cornerstone player for the Saints.

Atlanta Falcons
Now: Calvin Ridley. WR
July: Takkarist McKinley, DE
May: De'Vondre Campbell, LB
Apparently I see a few candidates on the Falcons. On a team that has Julio Jones on one side of the field the other receiver should get a lot of opportunities. The two Alabama wideouts should form a frightening pair.

Carolina Panthers
Now: D.J. Moore, WR
July: Curtis Samuel, WR
May: D.J. Moore, WR
Cam Newton needed another receiver. D.J. Moore is already the best receiver on the team. Big, good route runner, excellent hands. Newton hasn't thrown to very many receivers with excellent hands. He should like that.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Now: Chris Godwin, WR
July: Vita Vea, DT
May: Vita Vea, DT
When Jameis Winston finally gets on the football field he'll be surrounded by nice group of pass-catching playmakers. Chris Godwin might be the least known but provide the biggest boost.

San Francisco 49ers
Now: Ahkello Witherspoon, CB
July: Ahkello Witherspoon, CB
May: Jerick McKinnon, RB
I nearly picked DeForrest Buckner but decided that he's already broken out. If Richard Sherman is healthy, Ahkello Witherspoon will be tested often. He has unique size for a corner. He'll learn from Sherman and perhaps eventually play like Sherman.

Los Angeles Rams
Now: Gerald Everett, TE
July: Gerald Everett, TE
May: Gerald Everett, TE
One more consensus. The Rams have a plethora of offensive weapons. Everett seems to get lost among that collection. Head coach/playcaller Sean McVay and quarterback Jared Goff have to find a way to take advantage of Everett's silly physical talents.

Seattle Seahawks
Now: Shaquem Griffen, LB
July: Rashaad Penny, RB
May: Rashaad Penny, RB
Shaquem Griffen gets a lot of attention for having one hand. I wish that he'd get the attention that he deserves for being a terrific football player.

Arizona Cardinals
Now: Budda Baker, S
July: Budda Baker, S
May: Sam Bradford, QB
In college, at Washington, I thought that Budda Baker compared favorably to Tyrann Mathieu. Similar size. Similar play-making ability. Now, he steps into the role that Mathieu played so well for the Cardinals.
