2025 Mosaic Epic Performers Puka Nacua

Puka keeps proving Year 1 wasn’t a fluke.

The league adjusted… and he adjusted right back. Nacua’s physicality, toughness over the middle, and ability to turn routine catches into chunk plays have made him one of the most reliable young receivers in football.

And after last Sunday? He flat-out announced himself. In a 45–17 blowout win over the Arizona Cardinals, Nacua hauled in 7 catches for 167 yards and TWO touchdowns — his first career multi-TD game, capped off by a 31-yard back-shoulder beauty that left the defender hanging. 

What’s wild is how steady his climb has been — no sophomore slump, no fade, just consistent production week after week. He plays like a vet, carries himself like a leader, and the Rams clearly trust him in every big moment.

Are you buying into his rise this year?👀🔥

2025 Mosaic Drake Maye Purple Scope

Maye has completely dodged the dreaded sophomore slump — and he’s turning heads doing it. He currently leads the league in passing yards and completion percentage, and sits fourth in passing TDs, all while guiding the Patriots to an 11–2 record with 10 straight wins.

He’s pushed himself squarely into the MVP conversation, and if he keeps this pace, there’s a real chance he’s the one holding that hardware at season’s end.

Out of all the top rookies from last year, Maye wasn’t the one I expected to explode like this in Year 2, but here we are… watching a true breakout in real time.

Who’s your Talent Watch pick this week?

2024 Donruss JJ McCarthy RC Purple Press Proof

JJ McCarthy is one a lot of collectors have their eyes on right now. Coming off that ankle injury, it’ll be interesting to see how he bounces back and if he can regain the rhythm he had earlier in the season. The hype train has definitely been rolling on him — but is it justified, or a little too artificial?

Are you holding JJ right now or looking to move before the market shifts again?
