This is one of the questions that I have been asked most often during Offshine.
“Who is this year version [enter breakout player from last season]
This is not a simple question to answer because no two scenario are the same at all. But there are clearly comparable players in equal conditions. And, if people want to compare, they will be compared to them!
The process here was simple: I dropped each of each top brakeout players of 2024 down and came with a small list of players who fit a similar profile, as they enter 2025. Below each player is analyzed that fits the bill best, as well as other players who landed on the small list.
Note that it is not my way to predict that these players will break this season. Then, it has been deployed only to players to do so, who are deployed to do so as a product of landing in the same position on the fantasy scene in the previous season.
This season Jayden daniel,Bo nix, Cameron Ward
Daniel and Nicks were making fictional debut as miscreants.
Daniels and Niches did not enter their fraudulent weather with particularly notable supporting artists, but it did not prevent either a combination of terrible passing and rushing production N routes for the top -10 fantasy campaign.
Similarly, the number 1 pick in the ward – April – is not a particularly impressive group around it. They will need to be a growing tide that picks up all boats (it is very possible that they thrown a class-high 39 TDS and posted 88.7 QBR in Miami in the previous season) while also contributed to their feet. The ward would certainly not be confused for a scrambler of an aristocratic class like Daniel, but he had an average of 9.1 yards per carry in the previous season and could rival 430 running yards of Nix as a crook. If the ward proves the actual deal, the QB1 is within the range of fantasy production results.
Other candidates: Jackson dart, Jalan Milro, Tyler Shaf
This season Baker mefield, Bryas Young
Mefield, the number 1 pick in 2018, was near the bust label before the end breaks with its first QB1 season.
Mefield was not close to the fantasy radar during his first six NFL season (all six per game 18th or less), but he exploded to finish fourth in 2024. Young is very small (entering its third season), so we saw the initial badly badly badly. 18.0 fantasy points on week 8, which will be 10th in the entire season. One of the reasons for the leap forward was a major boost in running (208 yards and five TDs in their last eight matches), which we saw from the previous season (Career High 378 yards and three TDs). With an advanced supporting artists and the old coach (Dave Canals) of Mafield, Young is well deployed to make a big jump.
Other candidates: Anthony Richardson SR,
This season Sam darnold, JJ McCarthi
Daranold took advantage of a great supporting artists for a QB1 fantasy campaign on Minnesota N Marg.
Okay, this comp is a kind of type, but listen to me. Daranold is out and McCarthy is as the initial quarterback for one Kevin O’Conel Crime loaded with goals (Justin Jefferson, Jordan Edison, Tj hawkson) Which darnold and helped Cancer cousin The top -12 fantasy campaign (in the game point per game) during each of the three sessions of O’Conel in Minnesota. McCarthy – Number 10 Pick in the draft of 2024 – is an unknown after remembering its entire fraudulent campaign due to knee injury, but it is not ridiculous to think that it will improve on Daranold, which struggled during his first six NFL sessions before tossing 35 TDS in 2024 (often badly).
This season Chase brown, Isiah pacheko
Brown was an experienced mid/late-guest Flier, which emerged back as a lead in a good crime and in turn, a fantasy RB1.
This was more difficult than expected, but his team, depending on the depth chart competition and ADP, looks like the best fit. The fourth year of back has already started with a fictional-psychological player (14.2 fantasy points per game through his fraudulent season), but she missed 3–12 in the previous season due to injury and was a nonfactor on her return (8.8 touch per game and zero TDS). Of course, now that he is healthy and is still in his head at the age of 26, a rebound is very possible, especially in a good crime Karim Hunt, Eliza Michelle, Carson Steel And the crook in the seventh round Brushed smith His competition for work. Here is enough opposite to make Pacheko well worth midst investment.
Other candidates: Javonate Williams, Jayelane warn, JK Dobins
This season Baki Erving, Travon henderson,RJ Harvey
Irving was not an early fantasy pick, but he was the lone RB from the 2024 stalled class, which emerged as a viable fantasy RB1.
Henderson and Harvey are being drafts slightly more than Irving in 2024 fantasy drafts, but the conditions are otherwise very similar. Like Irving, both NFLs are slightly lower than lead back standards, which increases concerns about the touch roof. Additionally, while Irving had to overtake Rachd white Last season in Tampa Bay, Henderson (Ramondre Stevenson) And harvey (JK Dobins) Also face experienced competition. However, it took a month to cement itself as the team’s best and most explosives and despite playing to a committee to a committee throughout the season, Irving was able to give 10 top -20 fantasy outings in his final 12 matches. We could see a similar way from Henderson in New England and Harvey in Denver. Both have a skill set to distribute as a crowd and receiver, so fringe RB1 production is definitely a possibility for both.
Other candidates: Kaleb Johnson, Quinshon Judkins ,Ashton Jeanty And Omarian Hampton RB has clear breakout candidates, but they are going too much in the draft).
This season Tyron Tracy Junior, Bheshul tuteen
Tracy was one day 3 crooks, after a slow start, played the lead role of his team and emerged as a fantasy starter.
Tracy was about to fly fifth round in last year’s draft and he played a minimum role behind the experienced. Dewin Singlet Quickly, he claimed lead back duty in week 5 and never looked back. The Tutten was a fourth round pick in the April draft and, while it has more competition than Tracy, is certainly a way to the top of the depth chart. Travis Atian JRJaguar has a lead back, but has struggled in the last two sessions and has seen a huge decline in the use in 2024 (189 touch after 325 in 2023). Tank Bigsbi The mixture is also shown as well as a crowd in the previous season, but is a nonfactor in the form of a receiver (eight career reception). All three back figures to get some runs, and it is very possible that Tutten-which was highly efficient in Virginia Tech and has terrible speed (4.32 40-yard dash) and a three-down skills set-emerging as the best of bunch. This is enough to fly her late round.
Other candidates: Jayidan blue, Cam skatebo
This season Malik nabers,Brian Thomas JR,Laddu McConi, Tetiroa mcMillan
Nabers, Thomas and McConi fantasy were lineup locks which were in the form of miscreants.
It is not very likely that we will see three miscreants between the top 13 fantasy WRS again this season, but we have some candidates who can provide the number 1 number. This list begins with Macmillan, which leads to the edge Travis Hunter Because later aggressive numbers can also be reduced slightly by playing defense. Macmillan, meanwhile, should be able to overtake the choice of easily Zewear Leagate And 34 year old Adam thilane As the top goal of the above Bryas Young. 6 -Foot -4 receiver, which is drawn Drake London Comps, Arizona, the last season, handled 34% target shares and a elite NFL receiver profile. Nabers (35%), Thomas (25%) and McConi (24%) all enjoyed liberal target shares during their impressive crooks, and history shows that Macmillan (eighth pick) will also be in that range. As long as Young plays competent ball, the sky is the limit to Macmillan.
Other candidates: Hunter, Matthew Golden
This season Jackson Smith-Nazigba, Marvin Harrison Junior,
Smith-Najigba was the first round NFL draft pickle of 2023 who enjoyed the breakout in the second season.
The expectations of the year 1 were very high for Harrison, as they were for Smith-Nazigba, but the reality is that both were the first round NFL draft pics, who reduced statistically as miscreants. JSN had a good excuse (she played behind DK Metkaf And Tyler locket), But he worked on the Totem Poll in 2024 and improved his received line from 63–628–4 to 100-1,178-6. Meanwhile, Harrison, his team had an immediate number 1 receiver (number 2 target) and posted 62-885-8 line. These two play different roles, but as a perimeter/downfield target, Harrison’s job gives them a large -scale fantasy roof. A boost in the year 2 target share and more efficient relationship with Kiler dead In the position of a wide receiver, one can get 2024 number 4 picks quickly in aristocratic interaction.
Other candidates: Zevier worthy, Rome Odunj, Ken Coleman, Ricky Piercel
This season Brock Bovers, Colston loveland
The Bovers was a rare tight end lineup lock as the first round crook.
Remember when the deceitful tight ends were useless in all imaginations? A lot for him. after Sam In 2023, the top scorer of the situation was as a crook, the Bovers achieved the same feat in the previous season. This does not mean that we should expect the same from 10th pick Labland or 14th Pick. Tyler WarenBut this definitely suggests that the game has changed. Like Bovers, Lavland (and Warren for that case) sets the skill set to emerge as a fictional star, and while the major target competition is a possible obstacle in Chicago, it is very possible that he would be a special goal in a crime that can make a big jump under Ben Johnson.
