Sophomore slumps are a common occurrence in the NFL, and the latest analysis highlights key players poised for a potential downturn in performance for the 2025 season. C.J. Stroud, the 2024 Offensive Rookie of the Year, has already shown signs of struggle in 2025, which raises concerns for dynasty fantasy managers.

Players like Ladd McConkey of the Los Angeles Chargers may face challenges if the team adds another strong receiver, potentially limiting his growth. Similarly, Bucky Irving's impressive debut season for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers could be followed by a regression as defenses adjust their strategies against him. Lastly, Brock Bowers from the Las Vegas Raiders could also see a dip in numbers if the team's quarterback situation doesn't improve, highlighting the unpredictability of second-year players in fantasy leagues.
