Breakout Candidates: NFC West

It’s on to the NFC West. Here are breakout candidates for each of the NFC West teams.  

Los Angeles Rams
Cam Akers, RB

Cam Akers was supposed to break out last season. Then he suffered a torn Achilles while preparing for training camp. Somehow, he made it back for the regular season finale and his team’s playoff run to the Super Bowl. He was good in his return but he has the talent and the offense to be so much better. His breakout season moves to this season. 

San Francisco 49ers
Javon Kinlaw, DT

Javon Kinlaw was supposed to break out last season. If his knee issues are behind him, he’ll break out this season. He’s too big (6’5”, 319lbs) and too talented not to break out. He’s in a great defense. If he stays on the field, Kinlaw will break out this season. 

Arizona Cardinals
Rondale Moore, WR

With newly-acquired Marquise Brown, A.J. Green, and DeAndre Hopkins (when he returns from suspension) around, it’s easy to overlook Rondale Moore. He’s 5’7”. If defenses overlook Moore, they will be burned. Moore is a good, fun, versatile receiver. I think that he breaks out from the receivers around him.

Seattle Seahawks
Uchenna Nwosu, Edge

After three seasons of situational pass rushing, Uchenna Nwosu finally got starting opportunities last season with Los Angeles Chargers. He earned a chance to start for some team. The Seattle Seahawks decided to be that team. Nwosu should pair with Darrell Taylor to give the Seahawks an intriguing pass rushing duo.
