As the 2025 NFL fantasy football season approaches, identifying sleepers and breakout candidates becomes crucial for league success. In the NFC, several players are poised to emerge significantly. Jaydon Blue of the Dallas Cowboys offers potential as a fifth-round pick with a favorable path to snaps due to the struggles of veterans ahead of him.

In the NFC North, Kyle Monangai could surprise as a key contributor for the Chicago Bears after an impressive college career. Meanwhile, in the NFC South, Will Shipley stands ready to step into a larger role for the Philadelphia Eagles should Saquon Barkley face injury challenges. With all these factors in play, these players could become valuable assets in upcoming drafts.
