Adam Schefter's 'Friends and Family' fantasy cheat sheet

play
Breida and Hunt primed to surprise fantasy owners (1:03)

Adam Schefter predicts 49ers' RB Matt Breida to come on strong at the end of the season and Matthew Berry picks Chiefs' Kareem Hunt to put up big fantasy numbers for a later draft pick. (1:03)

Until now, only those with direct access to Adam Schefter were privy to his personal list of position-by-position, early-, mid- and late-round targets. We got our hands on that list and are making it available exclusively to ESPN Insiders because any friend of fantasy is a friend of Adam's.

There still are two preseason weeks to go, so some things can change based on injury, but this is my sense of the football market on Aug. 21. Again, these are my likes and dislikes, the best I can do, though there will be misses. This is how I will be thinking when I go to do my two fantasy drafts in September.

Please do not share this with others, this is for your use only. Thank you and good luck to all this season.
