Top Fantasy Football Rebound Candidates - 2025 Draft Discounts

Jordan Love - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, DFS Lineup Picks

Seth's fantasy football sleepers, values, discounts and rebound candidates for 2025. He looks at 4 players who can rebound in 2025 and provide value in drafts.

In fantasy football, many players go through rough patches, sometimes lasting for a whole season. That leads to some guys going under the radar heading into the next season and regaining their previous form to put together a rebound season.

Plenty of candidates could fall into that category of potential rebound seasons. For simplicity, I narrowed these candidates down to one player for each position. One quarterback, one running back, one wide receiver, and one tight end.

Each player had decent expectations heading into last season and didn’t meet them for whatever reason, but after showing signs of things to come or improved circumstances heading into next season, these players have a chance to reach their once-high expectations again.

Be sure to check all of our fantasy football rankings for 2025:

 

Jordan Love - QB, Green Bay Packers

Entering his second full season as a starter, Jordan Love had high expectations after a stellar first season.

In real football, he was fantastic, but even in fantasy football, he produced, finishing as the QB5 overall and QB6 in points per game.

After an early injury halted any momentum he had from the previous season, Love couldn’t seem to right the ship, struggling to make his young receiving corps work again and with turnovers. He finished as the QB18 in points per game and the QB17 in total points, a far cry from his previous season.

However, people should keep faith in Love, as context is important. When comparing Love’s stats from his first full season and second full season, the main difference is his rushing. He rushed 25 fewer times for three fewer touchdowns and averaged 1.6 fewer yards per carry. The main reason for that is likely due to an MCL injury he suffered in Week 1.

Love only missed two games, which seemed like a quick recovery. He was likely playing hurt and rushed his return, which limited his ability to run and overall play quarterback at the level he is capable of.

That makes the fact his passing stats were pretty similar impressive and means if he continues to improve next season, he should be in for a top-12 fantasy QB season at least rather than being just inside the top 24.

Add onto the fact it has been publicly discussed that the Packers need to add weapons to help Love, and that makes for a guy who could be an interesting value in current drafts.

No matter how the team improves this offseason, Love should once again serve as a consistent fantasy starter next season given his baseline talent and assumedly improved health.

 

Breece Hall - RB, New York Jets

Breece Hall had a down season after going near the top of drafts and being considered in the top tier of running backs. He did not live up to the hype, to the disappointment of fantasy owners.

However, a lot of the negativity surrounding the Jets that seemed to hold Hall back should be gone next season. Former Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn is now the head coach and he should bring over some of Dan Campbell’s philosophies of empowering players and playing tough (meaning, in theory, more running the ball).

Aaron Rodgers will also be gone, which is good news for Hall as Rodgers did not seem to want Hall involved in the offense much. Hall had 19 fewer targets than his previous season, and as a whole, the team had the least rushing attempts in the NFL.

Hall was once considered a contender for the top running back in fantasy and I expect after massive changes, both that have already happened and are to come, Hall’s situation should be much better and he should return to his elite fantasy form.

 

Tyreek Hill - WR, Miami Dolphins

People may argue Tyreek Hill’s age is starting to catch up to him, but as long as he still has his incredible speed, he has a shot for a huge season. Given he recently agreed to race Olympic gold medalist Noah Lyles, I’d like to think he still does.

Hill finished as the WR21 after finishing as the WR2 the previous season. It’s safe to say he was a bust last season. However, lots of things were not in his favor.

First off, he spent most of the season on the injury report with a nagging wrist injury, which he will be having surgery on this offseason. Last time I checked, you need your wrists to play wide receiver.

Secondly, his quarterback, Tua Tagovailoa, dealt with another concussion and was inconsistent when healthy. More consistent quarterback play should help him tremendously to get back to his WR1 form on a more consistent level.

Expecting another WR2 overall season may be a bit much, but Hill should rebound to much better than WR21 in half PPR, and I’d argue better than his current WR12 ADP on Underdog. He may be heading into his age-31 season, but I think he still has plenty of talent in him to produce in fantasy.

 

T.J. Hockenson - TE, Minnesota Vikings

This answer feels like a cop-out answer given T.J. Hockenson was coming off a torn ACL and missed a lot of last season, but there are plenty of reasons to believe Hockenson can be a top tight end once again.

First off, players always seem to perform better a year removed from a significant injury. Hockenson got back on the field last year but was surely still recovering after not being able to play for so long.

Secondly, J.J. McCarthy should most likely be the starter next season. Given the success of the rest of his rookie class, that should mean improved quarterback play, even though Sam Darnold was a respectable starter last season, as well as potentially more targets.

Justin Jefferson will remain the top target given how good he is, but Hockenson could easily overtake Jordan Addison for the second receiving option in the offense.

Those factors make Hockenson a bounce-back candidate and even a potential challenger for the top tight-end spot after a TE2 finish in 2022 and a TE4 finish in 2023.
