AFC breakout candidates: A new potential star for every team

It's breakout season.

Whether you're hoping to find the deciding factor in the division standings or trying to win your fantasy league, there's incredible value in finding the next young NFL stars.

This week, we're looking for those guys. Wednesday, we took a look at a breakout candidate for each team in the NFC. Today, we follow suit with the AFC.

AFC EAST

Buffalo Bills : TE Dalton Kincaid

Kincaid's name is bigger than most of the guys on the list. He was the first tight end drafted last year and had a strong rookie season. 

I still think he'll be on another level by the time we get to 2025.

Miami Dolphins : RB Jaylen Wright

Hard to see how Mike McDaniel finds touches for another speed demon skill player, but I trust him to find a way. After all, why would the Dolphins trade up to draft Wright with Raheem Mostert and De'Von Achane already on the roster? He might not have a huge role, but here's guessing Wright will make the type of plays that turn heads.

New England Patriots : DE Keion White

The stats weren't impressive, but his power and motor jumped off the screen. A big Year 2 jump would go a long way for the New England defense — especially now that the club has traded Matthew Judon.

New York Jets : DE Jermaine Johnson

The Jets might have no choice but to continue churning out badass
