I don’t love using rookies as breakout candidates, but I wanted to give you a different list of names from Breakouts 1.0, which was written prior to free agency and the NFL Draft. The players here, in Breakouts 2.0, are guys who have must-start potential — so rookies qualify.
And Travis Hunter could be a significant difference-maker.
The first receiver selected in the NFL Draft by the Jaguars at No. 2 overall, Hunter is a unique talent as a two-way star out of Colorado. He’s expected to play cornerback in Jacksonville, but receiver should be his primary spot. And that’s a good thing.
In 2024, Hunter had 96 catches for 1,258 yards and 15 touchdowns — along with 16 pass breakups and four interceptions on defense — which ultimately earned him the Heisman Trophy. For the Jaguars, he’ll be the No. 2 receiver opposite Brian Thomas Jr., and Hunter should get plenty of chances to dominate.
Jacksonville has completely revamped its receiving corps from last year with Hunter and Dyami Brown brought in, and Evan Engram (Denver), Christian Kirk (Houston), and Gabriel Davis (unsigned) are gone. Those are only 153 vacated targets, but the Jaguars offense should improve this season with Liam Coen as the head coach and a healthy Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) back.
I’m expecting Hunter to be featured by Lawrence and Coen, who had success as the offensive coordinator in Tampa Bay last season with Chris Godwin, Mike Evans, and Jalen McMillan. Hunter should be considered a low-end No. 2 Fantasy receiver in all leagues, and he’s worth drafting as early as Round 5.
We could get plenty of preseason hype with Hunter, which would make his Fantasy stock rise. I don’t view that as a negative because I’m counting on him to produce at a high level this season.
Even though he’s a rookie, Hunter is one of my favorite breakout candidates for 2025. Now, let’s look at 10 other players I’m expecting to be standout Fantasy options this year.
Quarterbacks
Running Backs
Wide Receiver

It’s a big ask, but Palace have shown they have quality to upset City
It was February 15, 2024 and there was a feeling of sadness, discontent and chaos at Crystal Palace's training ground.Roy Hodgson appeared on the brink of losing his job. Results had nosedived and the fans were furious. Their club were lacking direction on the pitch and seemingly had none off it. Oliver Glasner was being lined up to stop the season meandering towards a relegation scrap. Somewhat surprisingly, Hodgson was still set to hold a pre-match press conference ahead of their next game against fellow strugglers Everton.Yet as assembled journalists gathered outside the club's Beckenham training base, something else was brewing. Stood outside the gates, news broke that the audience with Hodgson had been pulled with just over half an hour's notice.The former England manager had been taken ill during the morning's training session. He was en route to hospital […]

Lewis Dunk back in Brighton & Hove Albion squad for game against Liverpool after hamstring injury
Lewis Dunk is back in the Brighton & Hove Albion squad for the final home game of the season against Liverpool on Monday.The long-serving captain sat out last Saturday’s 2-0 win at Wolverhampton Wanderers as a precaution, because of a minor hamstring issue.Head coach Fabian Hurzeler confirmed Dunk’s availability this morning during his press conference for Liverpool’s visit.AdvertisementHurzeler’s side kept a first clean sheet in the league for ten games in the victory at Molineux, with Adam Webster replacing Dunk in the centre of defence alongside player of the season Jan Paul van Hecke.It was Webster’s first start since sustaining a hamstring injury in the FA Cup quarter-final exit on penalties against Nottingham Forest at the Amex Stadium in March.Dunk has not been an automatic choice after previous injuries this season.

Statistiky legendární, ale zase předčasný konec. S Ovečkinem přešli Capitals jen jednou druhé kolo
V celé sérii dal Ovečkin jediný gól z přesilovky pět na tři, zaznamenal celkem 14 střel, v hodnocení plus/minus posbíral 39letý útočník tři záporné body, z toho dva v posledním zápase. A fanoušci mu vyčítají zejména situaci před vítězným gólem Caroliny.Za stavu 1:1 Ovečkin pálil vedle a pak se vydal až k zadnímu mantinelu ve snaze napadat rozehrávku Hurricanes. Na rychlý návrat už nezbyly síly a kapitán Capitals měl jako na dlani akci soupeřů, která vyvrcholila střelou Andreje Svečnikova z úhlu, jež zaskočila gólmana Logana Thompsona.Ovechkin is obese. He turns the puck over then does nothing. Don’t even think he realizes he’s playing playoff hockey.
