The 2025 season is around the corner, and I know y’all want the best sleepers to gain that extra edge to win. Let’s get into who will shock the world (except for you and me) this year! And remember not to draft any Steelers wideouts this year.
Cleveland Browns Running Back Jerome Ford
Now the Browns are a complete mess right now, no denying that, but with that comes opportunity, and no one better to take advantage than Jerome Ford. In 2023, he showed everyone his potential by not only running for 815 yards but also catching for over 300 yards while Chubb was out injured.
His production dipped last year with Chubb more heathy he still showed his potential as a leading back averaging an impressive 5.4 yards per carry. With Chubb leaving, even with the Browns selecting a running back in the upcoming draft, Ford should be given more opportunities, and he’s shown to be worth the late-round draft pick.
Jacksonville Jaguars’ Running Back Tank Bigsby
In the 2024 season, Bigsby outperformed starting halfback Travis Etienne with 766 rushing yards and seven rushing touchdowns showing his quality. I’m sure that after averaging 4.6 per carry with only the 28th most carries last year, he’ll have more of a load this season. So he’s more than definitely worth a mid-round draft pick this year.
Buffalo Bills’ Wide Receiver Keon Coleman
On paper, he didn’t have that impressive a rookie year, but if you look deeper, you’ll see why he’s primed for a breakout season this season. Coleman averaged a really massive 19.2 yards per catch last season. His 15.5-yard average target depth ranked fifth-highest among 84 qualifying WRs. He also drew 34% of his targets 20+ yards downfield, the seventh-highest rate among those same 84 wide receivers.
If that wasn’t interesting enough then his 7.7 Average yards after catch sure will be. That once again to help make the point ranked fifth among 84 qualifying WRs, and considering his big average target depth is that much more impressive. One last point to impress you is that he’s a great red zone threat, adding four total TDs last year, and that came on just 29 total catches, giving him a strong 13.8% TD rate.
