The 2025 NFL season is shaping up with key players emerging as potential boom-or-bust options for fantasy managers. Among them is wide receiver George Pickens of the Pittsburgh Steelers, who, despite behavioral concerns, showcases strong metrics suggesting he could yield solid returns if drafted as a borderline WR3/4. His performance indicates he’s poised to improve after a fluctuating 2024 season.

Additionally, tight end Chigoziem Okonkwo from the Tennessee Titans is expected to stabilize as a TE1 following his impactful late-season surge. His explosive traits, combined with a new offensive strategy, position him for a career-best performance. Meanwhile, Cade Otton of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers also represents a promising tight end option.
