Cedric Tillman flashed major second-year breakout potential in 2024, stepping up as the Browns’ top wideout after Amari Cooper’s departure and Jameis Winston’s promotion to QB1. From Weeks 7-12, Tillman averaged 12.8 fantasy points per game (WR16), totaling 330 receiving yards and clearly outproducing Jerry Jeudy during that stretch. Unfortunately, a concussion cut his season short, sidelining him for the final six games. Now fully healthy and with past chemistry with Joe Flacco, Tillman is well-positioned to re-emerge as a key piece in Cleveland’s passing game and could be a sneaky value pick in 2025 drafts.
Rashod Bateman finally stayed healthy in 2024 – and delivered his most productive NFL season yet with 51 catches for 846 yards and 11 touchdowns. He averaged 9.3 fantasy points per game (WR45) and quietly led the Ravens in end-zone targets while eclipsing 1,000 air yards. Bateman also flashed when Zay Flowers missed time late in the year, averaging 13.4 points per game in that stretch. He finished 12th in ESPN’s WR Open Score, signaling his skill set as a separator. With potential regression in team health and an aging Mark Andrews, Bateman is a prime candidate for a true fifth-year breakout in 2025 – and a sharp late-round pick in fantasy drafts.
Josh Palmer quietly landed in a prime fantasy spot, signing a three-year, $36 million deal with the Bills – the fifth-richest WR contract in free agency. Still just 25 years old, Palmer joins a wide-open receiver room in Buffalo and is now tied to Josh Allen through his prime. While 2024 was underwhelming (WR77 overall, WR82 per game), Palmer dealt with an early-season knee injury and never clicked with the new Chargers staff. Now in Buffalo, he fits the profile of late-career breakout 5th-year WRs who thrive with a change of scenery. He showed flashes when healthy, even matching Quentin Johnston in yardage down the stretch before being shut down in 2024. With a top-tier QB, Palmer could surprise in 2025 as a post-hype sleeper.
