The deep 2025 rookie RB class is poised to make a sizable impact this season and could bring an early end to the careers of several veterans. With that in mind, it’s worth drafting multiple high-end backs early and targeting value options later on.
Wide receiver has become a top-heavy position in fantasy and hitting on a reliable TD threat remains critical. There are a number of young players who appear ready to take over as the next big thing at the position, including Ja’Marr Chase, Justin Jefferson, CeeDee Lamb, Puka Nacua and Amon-Ra St. Brown.
Running back remains a huge need for most teams and there are several new running backs who can immediately make an impact at the position. There’s also a great class of veteran free agents who can fill in for some teams as well.
It’s hard to go wrong by drafting a strong defensive lineman in Round 1. There are few positions that need more attention in the NFL than this one, and the draft class is full of potential contributors.
A player who was on the cusp of becoming a breakout star last year before a season-ending injury reeked havoc on his fantasy production. However, there are reasons to be excited about his future at the position and he has the tools to thrive in the league. He has a rare combination of strength, power and agility at the position. His escapability from pressure in the pocket is a real X factor on his tape and he showed real comfort in pass coverage.
