Welcome everyone to the PFF Fantasy podcast. I'm John Macri.

Joined as always by PFF's lead fantasy analyst, Nate the great Yankee.

And Nate, big difference today because we are live in studio, in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA.

They allowed me in the country as a foreigner so that we can record our 2025 fantasy breakout

candidates episode in person. I'm excited to be here. How are you, sir? I'm excited to be here too.

I'm glad that we get to do this together. It's nice to be able to do this in person. It'll be a

different experience. I have a nicer background than I do back at home. So excited to be here and excited to not

breakout candidates with you. Yeah, me too. Yeah, definitely nicer background. No hockey stuff

in the background. So this makes a little bit more sense, obviously here in studio at PFF studios here.

But this is good. I think it lined up really nicely because, you know, for one of our more,

I think, fun and exciting topics of the offseason,

right? Breakout candidates where we're going to try to identify the players who are kind of on

the cusp of greatness heading into this season. Like they've shown some sparks already, but it

gives us a chance to kind of get optimistic about these guys who can maybe put their game to a whole

another level this season. So I'm excited about this one. I know this is a popular off-season topic. So I think it'll be a fun discussion today. Yeah. So want to get started with the quarterbacks? Yeah. Yeah. We're going to get into the quarterbacks here. And just like a couple things, I guess, for who qualifies for the list, right? Like we decided on no rookies.

We wanted to dive a little bit deeper than that.

So, you know, just in case anybody's like, where's Ashton Genty or something like that?

He doesn't qualify for this conversation specifically.

We're focusing on the second, third, fourth year guys that have a chance to significantly increase their fantasy points or points per game,

not just an incremental one or these rookies who we expect for bigger roles right away in year

one.
