2025 Fantasy Football Breakouts: Key Players to Watch in Your Drafts
This article outlines standout players in fantasy football for the upcoming season, highlighting potential breakout candidates who could significantly impact your draft strategy.
The Fun of Breakouts
In fantasy football, discussing breakout players is often the most enjoyable aspect of the drafting process. These selections are celebrated for their potential to shine in their best season yet, and they aren’t necessarily confined to early draft positions. This article highlights four elite players likely to have standout seasons, each poised to finish as number one in their respective positions, along with a team stacked with breakout prospects.
Already Elite, Potentially Even Better
- Brock Bowers, Tight End, had an extraordinary season in 2024, leading all tight ends in points but might perform even better next year.
- Jayden Daniels, Quarterback, shows promise of being the top performer in his position, enhanced by new squad additions like Deebo Samuel.
- De’Von Achane has climbed the projections due to trades and could provide substantial returns if drafted—especially with a potential workload increase now that Tua Tagovailoa is back at the helm.
The Breakout Team of 2025
The Chicago Bears are preparing to emerge as the most exciting offense in the league. With talents like Ben Johnson at the helm, and promising players like Caleb Williams, they have stakeholders who might surprise this coming season. Keep an eye on the draft for prospects like DJ Moore and D’Andre Swift, who could breakout under the new scheme.
Candidates for League-Winning Potential
Consider players like Kyler Murray and Ashton Jeanty who, despite being lesser-known, carry significant upside. Each could contribute pivotal contributions to your fantasy roster this season.
