Quarter of the way through the fantasy regular season. Contenders, are you targeting 2025’s breakout and bounce back players?

Let’s forget rookies and second year breakouts and the elite guys who’ve maintained value and let’s discuss a bunch of studs who folks are probably a little hesitant to buy due to past production or injury concerns.

There have been a lot of breakout and bounce back players that have flashed so far this season:

Javonte Williams (RB6) and Travis Etienne (RB9) have looked like league winners at the RB position. Jordan Mason (RB22) has been a big time breakout. D’Andre Swift has had a small resurgence (RB20).

At the WR position we’ve had a third year breakout from Quentin Johnston (WR4), a resurgence from Keenan Allen (WR8), Deebo Samuel (WR9) and Michael Pittman (WR11).

Jake Ferguson is currently experiencing his breakout (TE1) and Juwan Johnson is pacing the Saints passing attack (TE4).

Contenders, are you targeting any of these players and if so, what are you paying?
