Every NFL offseason brings a new wave of breakout candidates, but it's the second-year players who often make the biggest leap. After a full year of development, recovery from injury, or simply adjusting to the speed of the league, several 2024 rookies are poised to elevate their play in 2025. Some, like J.J. McCarthy, are stepping into starting roles for the first time. Others are coming off flashes of promise or quietly building trust within their systems. With the benefit of another offseason and a clearer path to playing time, these former rookies are set to take on larger roles and deliver significant value—both on the field and in fantasy football. From quarterbacks ready to lead their franchises to skill players primed for volume jumps, this list features 10 second-year talents with breakout written all over them. Below are our top 10 Year Two breakout candidates from the 2024 NFL Draft class, ranked by opportunity, talent, and projected role in 2025. Each player includes their original draft ranking, team fit, and a two-paragraph profile outlining their scouting report and breakout outlook. NFL Year 2 Breakouts: 10 Players Ready to Explode in 2025 1). Caleb Williams, QB, Chicago Bears Football Scout 365 Big Board Ranking:  No. 1 Overall | QB1 2024 NFL Draft:  Round 1, Pick 1 – Elite The Bears made Caleb Williams the face of the franchise with the first overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft—but Year One proved just how far the team had to go. Williams endured a turbulent rookie season, taking a league-high 68 sacks while finishing dead last in PFF passing grade (32nd). While the talent flashed in spurts, the structure wasn’t there—until now. Chicago overhauled its offense this offseason by hiring Ben Johnson as head coach, drafting Rome Odunze at No. 9 overall, signing D’Andre Swift, and revamping the offensive line. Williams enters Year Two with elite weapons, improved protection, and a system that finally suits his skill set. Ranked No. 1 overall on the Football Scout 365 Big Board with an Elite  grade, Williams brings rare off-script ability, live arm talent, and playmaker instincts that earned comparisons to Patrick Mahomes and Kyler Murray. His game thrives in chaos, but his biggest step in 2025 will be learning to trust the structure—something Ben Johnson’s offense should reinforce with layered reads, play-action, and spacing concepts. If Williams cleans up his pocket management and limits hero-ball tendencies, a second-year leap into the top 12 fantasy QBs isn’t out of the question. With the pieces finally in place, 2025 is set up to be Caleb Williams’ coming-out party. 2). Marvin Harrison Jr., WR, Arizona Cardinals Football Scout 365 Big Board Ranking:  No. 2 Overall | WR1 2024 NFL Draft:  Round 1, Pick 4 – Elite Marvin Harrison Jr. entered the NFL with sky-high expectations, but his rookie season didn’t quite match the pre-draft hype—at least not statistically. Despite being the first wide receiver off the board in 2024, Harrison finished with 62 receptions on 116 targets for 885 yards and 8 touchdowns—respectable, but underwhelming compared to fellow rookies Malik Nabers and Brian Thomas Jr. A big reason? Harrison’s catchable target rate was just 59%, among the worst in the league for receivers with 100+ targets. With more consistent quarterback play and improved offensive rhythm under head coach Jonathan Gannon and OC Drew Petzing, positive regression is coming. Harrison earned an Elite  grade on the Football Scout 365 Big Board and ranked No. 2 overall in the class due to his generational traits as an outside X receiver. He’s a true technician—elite in route tempo, body control, and contested catch ability—and his polish mirrors top NFL talents like Julio Jones and A.J. Green. A former Biletnikoff Award winner and two-time unanimous All-American at Ohio State, Harrison is built for volume and dominance. With Year Two adjustments, improved offensive efficiency, and a healthy Kyler Murray, Harrison is primed to take the leap into the WR1 conversation, both in real life and fantasy. 3). Rome Odunze, WR, Chicago Bears Football Scout 365 Big Board Ranking:  No. 4 Overall | WR2 2024 NFL Draft:  Round 1, Pick 9 – Elite Rome Odunze flashed early chemistry with Caleb Williams during their rookie season in Chicago, finishing with 54 catches for 734 yards and 3 touchdowns despite a disjointed offensive environment. The Bears struggled up front and cycled through coaching instability before moving on from head coach Matt Eberflus and OC Shane Waldron. But with Ben Johnson now installed as head coach and offensive architect, the 2025 outlook is significantly brighter for Chicago’s QB-WR duo. Odunze’s contested-catch ability, versatility (slot and outside), and knack for winning at all three levels position him to step into a larger role—especially if Keenan Allen departs in free agency. Odunze was the No. 4 overall player and WR2 on the Football Scout 365 Big Board, earning an Elite  grade thanks to his size, play strength, and dominant ball skills. He’s a physical, fluid route-runner with excellent hands and body control—traits that translate well to Johnson’s scheme, which helped produce four 1,000-yard receivers in three years with the Lions. With DJ Moore drawing coverage and Williams continuing to mature, Odunze is in a prime position to take the Year Two leap into WR2 fantasy value and potential 1,000-yard production in real life. 4). J.J. McCarthy, QB, Minnesota Vikings Football Scout 365 Big Board Ranking:  No. 6 Overall | QB2 2024 NFL Draft:  Round 1, Pick 10 – High-End Starter J.J. McCarthy’s NFL debut was put on pause after a promising preseason, as the Vikings' rookie quarterback suffered a torn meniscus in his right knee and missed the entire 2024 season following surgery. Now fully healthy and entrenched as the Week 1 starter, McCarthy enters Year Two with a golden opportunity to break out in Kevin O’Connell’s offense. The Vikings cleared the path by moving on from Sam Darnold, showing full belief in McCarthy’s long-term upside. A national champion and two-time All-Big Ten selection at Michigan, McCarthy went 27–1 as a starter, posting the best winning percentage (.964) by any college quarterback since 1971. He set single-season school records for completion percentage (72.3%) and interception rate (1.20%) in 2023 and finished as the program's all-time leader in completion percentage, interception rate, pass efficiency (160.5), and TD-to-INT ratio (4.5:1). Ranked No. 6 overall and QB2 on the Football Scout 365 Big Board, McCarthy earned a High-End Starter grade thanks to his mobility, intermediate velocity, and poise under pressure. With Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, and T.J. Hockenson at his disposal, McCarthy is one of the most well-positioned breakout candidates heading into the 2025 NFL season. 5). Dallas Turner, EDGE, Minnesota Vikings Football Scout 365 Big Board Ranking:  No. 8 Overall | EDGE1 2024 NFL Draft:  Round 1, Pick 17 – High-End Starter Dallas Turner’s rookie season didn’t generate splashy headlines—just 28% of defensive snaps played, 3 sacks, and a modest 12 total pressures—but context matters. The Vikings had a loaded edge rotation in 2024, with All-Pro Andrew Van Ginkel, Pro Bowler Jonathan Greenard, and Patrick Jones II all ahead of him on the depth chart. But Jones is now gone, and Minnesota didn’t make any major additions at outside linebacker this offseason. That signals full belief in Turner, whose speed, length, and first-step explosiveness should shine in Brian Flores’ pressure-heavy front in 2025. Ranked No. 8 overall and EDGE1 on the Football Scout 365 Big Board, Turner earned a High-End Starter  grade based on his elite traits—fluidity, bend, and closing burst. While his pass-rush plan and hand usage still need refinement, his upside as a disruptive force is undeniable. With Javon Hargrave and Jonathan Allen clogging the interior and Greenard commanding attention on the opposite edge, Turner will have one-on-one opportunities to tee off. A boost in snap share, combined with a full offseason in Flores' system, sets the stage for a 8-10 sack breakout campaign—and a chance to silence early critics. 6). Nate Wiggins, CB, Baltimore Ravens Football Scout 365 Big Board Ranking:  No. 12 Overall | CB3 2024 NFL Draft:  Round 1, Pick 30 – Near Elite Nate Wiggins flew under the radar as a rookie—but by season’s end, he’d carved out a key role on one of the NFL’s most dominant defenses. Despite limited snaps early in 2024, Wiggins finished with 33 tackles, 13 pass breakups, a forced fumble, and a pick-six in the season finale against Cleveland. His emergence gave Baltimore another weapon in a loaded secondary featuring Kyle Hamilton and Marlon Humphrey. Now entrenched as a full-time starter heading into Year Two, Wiggins has the tools and opportunity to ascend into the league’s next elite corner. Wiggins was the No. 12 overall player and CB3 on the Football Scout 365 Big Board, earning a Near Elite  grade for his fluidity, length, and elite recovery speed. He thrives in off-man and Cover 3 alignments—perfect for DC Zach Orr’s scheme—and his twitch, route recognition, and long-speed make him a matchup nightmare for vertical threats. At 6’2” with 4.28 speed and sticky man coverage traits, Wiggins has All-Pro upside. With more reps and confidence, he could break out in a big way—joining the conversation as one of the NFL’s premier young corners in 2025. 7). Olumuyiwa Fashanu, OT, New York Jets Football Scout 365 Big Board Ranking:  No. 13 Overall | OT2 2024 NFL Draft:  Round 1, Pick 11 – Near Elite Olumuyiwa Fashanu stepped into the spotlight late in his rookie season for the Jets, replacing Tyron Smith at left tackle and allowing just one sack in five starts before an injury ended his campaign early. Despite the abbreviated run, Fashanu displayed advanced poise and technique in pass protection, reinforcing the belief that he can anchor the Jets' offensive line for years to come. Heading into 2025, he’s penciled in as the full-time starter on the blindside, protecting new QB1 Justin Fields in a retooled offense under new head coach Aaron Glenn. Fashanu ranked No. 13 overall on the Football Scout 365 Big Board and earned a Near Elite  grade thanks to his combination of size, athleticism, and fluid pass sets. At 6'6", 312 pounds with 34-inch arms, he possesses the prototypical traits of a franchise left tackle and excels in zone-based run schemes and space-oriented protections. With New York shifting toward a run-heavy attack built around Fields and Breece Hall, Fashanu’s athleticism and ability to climb to the second level will be even more valuable. If he stays healthy and continues progressing, a breakout 2025 season could vault him into the Pro Bowl conversation. 8). Chop Robinson, EDGE, Miami Dolphins Football Scout 365 Big Board Ranking:  No. 16 Overall | EDGE2 2024 NFL Draft:  Round 1, Pick 21 – Near Elite After a slow start to his rookie year, Chop Robinson came alive down the stretch in Miami’s pressure-heavy front, finishing with 6 sacks and 56 quarterback pressures despite starting just once in 17 games. That production flashes just how dangerous his rare explosiveness and first-step quickness can be. With Anthony Weaver entering his second season as defensive coordinator and All-Pro-caliber edge Jaelan Phillips returning from injury, the Dolphins are positioned to unleash Robinson in more high-leverage situations. As a rotational piece with star-level burst, Robinson is a prime breakout candidate heading into Year Two. Robinson earned a Near Elite  grade and ranked No. 16 on the Football Scout 365 Big Board thanks to his elite athleticism, lateral quickness, and relentless motor. At 6’3”, 254 pounds with a 4.48 40-yard dash, he compares favorably to Micah Parsons in explosiveness and pursuit range. While his technique is still developing, Robinson’s compact build and twitch allow him to threaten both inside and outside rush angles. With added strength and continued refinement, Robinson has 10+ sack upside and could become the focal point of Miami’s pass rush by midseason—making him a fantasy-friendly IDP asset and one of the league’s most disruptive sophomores. 9). Drake Maye, QB, New England Patriots Football Scout 365 Big Board Ranking:  No. 22 Overall | QB3 2024 NFL Draft:  Round 1, Pick 3 – High-End Starter Despite playing behind a porous offensive line with limited weapons, Drake Maye showed flashes of elite upside in 2024. His natural arm talent, pocket toughness, and off-script playmaking ability were evident—even if the stat line didn’t fully reflect it. But the Patriots made their intentions clear this offseason: build around Maye. With Mike Vrabel stepping in as head coach and the return of Josh McDaniels as offensive coordinator, Maye now has a stable system tailored to his strengths. Add in a retooled offensive line, the additions of Stefon Diggs and Will Campbell, and a new lead back in TreVeyon Henderson, and the foundation is in place for a breakout sophomore season. Maye was ranked No. 22 overall and QB3 on the Football Scout 365 Big Board, earning a High-End Starter  grade thanks to his size, velocity, and improvisational flair. At 6’4”, 225 pounds with 4,000+ yard seasons under his belt at North Carolina, Maye has drawn comparisons to Justin Herbert and Ben Roethlisberger for his mix of power and mobility. He still needs to improve his deep accuracy and decision-making under pressure, but with a legitimate supporting cast and McDaniels’ QB-friendly structure, Maye has top-10 fantasy upside in Superflex formats and is positioned to emerge as the franchise cornerstone New England has long been searching for. 10). Michael Penix Jr., QB, Atlanta Falcons Football Scout 365 Big Board Ranking:  No. 30 Overall | QB5 2024 NFL Draft:  Round 1, Pick 8 – High-End Starter Michael Penix Jr. didn’t see much action as a rookie—just five appearances and three starts—but his flashes were hard to ignore. Across 114 dropbacks, Penix posted an elite 87.6 PFF passing grade with a 9.0% big-time throw rate and just a 1.7% turnover-worthy play rate—each ranking top-five among quarterbacks with at least 100 dropbacks in 2024. Now entering Year Two as the unquestioned starter, Penix steps into a Zac Robinson offense that mirrors the Sean McVay system he excelled in at Washington. With a strong offensive line, Bijan Robinson in the backfield, and a capable receiving trio led by Drake London and Darnell Mooney, Penix has the structure to hit the ground running. Ranked No. 30 overall and QB5 on the Football Scout 365 Big Board, Penix earned a High-End Starter  grade for his prototypical pocket presence, elite deep-ball accuracy, and rapid mental processing in structured schemes. His injury history remains a concern, but the medicals cleared pre-draft, and his time in 2024 allowed him to acclimate without pressure. The Jared Goff comparison feels fair—Penix is a rhythm thrower who can carve defenses when kept clean and surrounded by a balanced attack. If he builds on his late-season flashes, a 3,800-yard, 25+ touchdown sophomore campaign isn’t out of reach, making him one of the top breakout candidates to watch in 2025.

2025 Dynasty SuperFlex Rankings In dynasty fantasy football, balancing youth, long-term upside, and immediate production is the key to building a powerhouse roster. For SuperFlex leagues—where QBs are king—this becomes even more crucial. That’s why we created a complete Dynasty SuperFlex Tiered Ranking System, blending 2024 points per game (PPG) with age-adjusted thresholds across positions (QB, RB, WR, TE) to create future-proof tiers for startup drafts. Below is a summary of the definitions for these tiers and an overview of the methodology. Tier Tier Defined Tier 1 – Generational Dynasty Assets Elite ceiling, young age, foundational pieces for years to come Tier 2 – Elite Dynasty Starters with Long-Term Value Strong production, slightly older, long runway remaining Tier 3 – High-Upside Starters Positional top-15 ceiling, younger age, still ascending Tier 4 – Solid Starters or Aging Elites Strong PPG or experience, but near career peak or decline Tier 5 – Depth with Upside or Fading Veterans Bench value or rookies with uncertain roles 🧠 Methodology Overview Our rankings are built on a blend of long-term upside, 2024 production, and positional value specific to SuperFlex dynasty leagues. Here's how we structured the process: Age Thresholds (Position-Specific): Career longevity varies by position, so we tailored Tier 1 and Tier 2 cutoffs accordingly: Quarterback (QB):  Tier 1 ≤ 26 | Tier 2 ≤ 29 Running Back (RB):  Tier 1 ≤ 24 | Tier 2 ≤ 26 Wide Receiver (WR):  Tier 1 ≤ 25 | Tier 2 ≤ 27 Tight End (TE):  Tier 1 ≤ 25 | Tier 2 ≤ 27 2024 PPG Baseline: Points per game (PPG) from the 2024 season was used to measure recent production, but long-term upside and age weighed more heavily in tier placement. SuperFlex Format Prioritization: Due to the 2QB format, quarterbacks were prioritized in overall rankings. Young starting QBs carry elevated value across all tiers. Rookie Pedigree Adjustments: High-upside rookies with no prior PPG (e.g., Ashton Jeanty, Tetairoa McMillan) were elevated based on draft capital, athletic traits, and projected usage. 🧮 How to Apply This Tiered Analysis to Your Draft Startup Drafts : Build around Tier 1 and Tier 2 players. Tier 3 offers depth and flex value. Trade Strategy : Use this system to pivot aging producers for youth upside. Roster Management : Fade Tier 4 players unless contending for a championship right now . 🏆 Tier 1 – Generational Dynasty Assets These players are elite building blocks in dynasty SuperFlex leagues. They are young, possess top-tier production or projected upside, and carry long-term positional security. Whether it’s a 22-year-old rookie QB or a 25-year-old WR1, these are cornerstone pieces you can build a franchise around for the next 3–5 years.

RJ Harvey Dynasty Rookie Profile RB – Denver Broncos | Drafted: Round 2, Pick 60 | College: UCF RJ Harvey lands in Denver as a dual-threat running back tailor-made for Sean Payton’s pass-heavy system. With elite elusiveness, burst, and a wide-open opportunity share, Harvey projects as one of the biggest rookie winners in fantasy football. His third-down upside and home-run ability could unlock RB2 value as early as Year 1. College Career Recap RJ Harvey’s journey began at Virginia before transferring to UCF, where he blossomed into one of the most productive backs in the country. After recovering from a 2021 injury, he exploded for over 1,400 rushing yards in both 2023 and 2024. He capped off his career with 1,577 yards and 22 rushing TDs as a senior while adding value as a receiver (20 receptions, 267 yards, 3 TDs). His tape shows consistent growth in vision, footwork, and contact balance. Despite being just 5'8", Harvey was a workhorse back with the ability to wear down defenses and create chunk plays, especially in gap or inside-zone schemes. Over the past two seasons, he finished top-20 in breakaway percentage and elusive rating, per PFF. NFL Scouting Report Height: 5’8” | Weight: 205 lbs | 40-Yard Dash: 4.40 | Vertical Jump: 38” | Broad Jump: 10’7” | 20-Yd Shuttle: 4.34 RJ Harvey is a compact, twitchy back who thrives in space and can win at the second level with burst and lateral agility. His ability to make defenders miss and finish runs through contact is impressive given his size. He’s a natural receiver with soft hands, though ball security and pass protection remain concerns. Scheme Fit & Projected Role with Broncos Sean Payton's history of maximizing receiving backs (Alvin Kamara, Darren Sproles, Reggie Bush) bodes well for Harvey. Denver’s running back room—led by Audric Estime and Jaleel McLaughlin—lacks a defined lead back, and with Javonte Williams gone, Harvey could carve out immediate third-down and change-of-pace duties. He’s the most versatile back in the room and may eventually seize early-down reps if Estime underwhelms. In an offense that targeted RBs more than any team the last two seasons, Harvey’s path to RB2 fantasy value is clear. Rookie Outlook (2025) Floor : RB3 with FLEX value in PPR formats Ceiling : RB2 with weekly spike weeks if he secures receiving and early-down work Early Projection : 140–160 carries, 40+ receptions, 1,100 total yards, 6–8 TDs Expected PPG (0.5 PPR) : 7.5-15 Long-Term Dynasty Value RJ Harvey offers one of the highest ceilings among Day 2 RBs in the 2025 class. In dynasty formats, he’s a strong second-round target in rookie drafts and a potential Year 1 breakout if Denver commits to him. His profile fits modern NFL backfields: explosive, efficient, and dynamic in the passing game. If he holds up physically, Harvey could be a top-20 fantasy RB by the end of his rookie contract.

Tyler Warren Dynasty Rookie ProfileTE Indianapolis Colts | Drafted: Round 1, Pick 14 | College: Penn State Tyler Warren enters the NFL as one of the most accomplished tight ends in college football history, bringing elite production, size, and versatility to a Colts offense looking for a reliable safety valve and mismatch weapon. He projects as a Day 1 starter with TE1 fantasy upside in 2025. College Career Recap Warren’s rise at Penn State was a patient one, sitting behind NFL talents like Pat Freiermuth and Brenton Strange before exploding in 2024. He delivered one of the most prolific tight end seasons in the PFF era: 104 receptions, 1,233 yards, and 8 touchdowns in the regular season alone. Warren finished his college career as the school’s all-time leader among tight ends in receptions (153), yards (1,839), and touchdowns (19). A finalist for the Paul Hornung Award and winner of the John Mackey Award, Warren lined up everywhere — in-line, slot, out wide, and even took Wildcat snaps. His performance in the Fiesta Bowl (2 TDs) capped a historic final season that earned him first-round draft status. NFL Scouting Report At 6'5½", 256 lbs, Warren combines classic tight end size with a modern, move-TE skill set. He’s a physical route-runner with exceptional toughness, strong hands in traffic, and enough burst to create separation at the break point. He’s especially dangerous in the red zone and short-to-intermediate areas. While not a vertical burner, Warren wins with nuance and physicality. His blocking effort is outstanding, whether lead-blocking from the backfield or sealing the edge from the line. He’ll need to polish up route tempo and clean up occasional nonchalant reps, but his all-around skill set and football character make him a high-floor, high-ceiling prospect. Scheme Fit & Projected Role with Colts Warren joins a Colts offense led by Anthony Richardson and designed by Shane Steichen, who has a strong track record of featuring tight ends (see: Dallas Goedert, Hunter Henry). With no clear incumbent at the position, Warren projects as the immediate TE1. His alignment versatility will allow the Colts to deploy him in 11 and 12 personnel, and while Mo Alie-Cox may rotate in for blocking-specific duties, Warren should lead the tight end room in snaps and targets. Expect him to be a featured red-zone option alongside Michael Pittman Jr. and Adonai Mitchell. Rookie Outlook (2025) Floor:  TE2 with weekly TD upside Ceiling: High Level TE1 volume starter Early Projection:  65–75 catches, 700–850 yards, 6–8 TDs Expected PPG (0.5 PPR):  9–15.1 Long-Term Dynasty Value Warren is a plug-and-play dynasty asset with a rare statistical and athletic profile. His immediate path to snaps and targets makes him one of the safest rookie tight ends to invest in, with a trajectory similar to Sam LaPorta or Pat Freiermuth. His role in the Colts offense could grow rapidly if Richardson develops as expected. Warren is a top-2 tight end in 2025 dynasty rookie drafts — and in tight end premium formats, he’s worth consideration as early as the mid-first round.

Colston Loveland Dynasty Rookie Profile TE – Chicago Bears | Drafted: Round 1 | College: Michigan Colston Loveland enters the NFL as one of the most dynamic tight end prospects in recent memory. A top-10 pick by the Chicago Bears, Loveland lands in a creative Ben Johnson offense alongside Caleb Williams, Rome Odunze, and D.J. Moore. With vertical stretch ability and a versatile skill set, Loveland projects as a high-ceiling rookie with immediate top-12 TE fantasy upside in PPR formats. College Career Recap Loveland stepped into the spotlight at Michigan as a true freshman in 2022, emerging behind Luke Schoonmaker. By 2023, he became the Wolverines’ primary receiving threat at tight end, racking up 45 receptions for 649 yards and 4 TDs during a national title run. His 2024 season was slightly shortened by a shoulder injury, but he still broke Michigan’s single-season TE record with 56 receptions. While Michigan’s offense leaned heavily on the run game, Loveland made the most of his opportunities, finishing his college career with a 2.22 yards per route run average and a separation rate in the 96th percentile. He exits Ann Arbor as one of the most efficient tight ends of the past five seasons and a legitimate downfield threat who can work all three levels of the field. NFL Scouting Report Measured at 6'6", 248 pounds with 10" hands and a 32.75" arm length, Loveland profiles as a modern hybrid tight end with elite receiving upside. He’s fluid in and out of breaks, with the ball skills and route-running nuance to create separation against linebackers and safeties. He shows great control on deep routes and adjusts well to off-target throws. His main concerns come from inline blocking, where he lacks ideal power and leverage against defensive ends. Still, his overall effort and technique offer hope for growth with NFL coaching. Loveland’s contested catch rate needs refinement, but his ability to stretch the seam and win after the catch makes him a mismatch weapon in today’s pass-heavy NFL. Scheme Fit & Projected Role with Bears Loveland steps into a retooled Chicago offense led by new head coach Ben Johnson, who turned Sam LaPorta into a fantasy superstar in Detroit. Johnson isn’t afraid to feature athletic tight ends in the vertical passing game, and Loveland fits that mold perfectly. Despite the presence of Cole Kmet and Durham Smythe, Loveland is expected to command a significant snap share as a rookie, especially in 11 personnel. The Bears' wide receiver room is stacked with D.J. Moore, Rome Odunze, and Luther Burden III, but Loveland was drafted ahead of Burden and is likely to be a top-three option in the target pecking order. Expect him to be featured on seam routes, crossers, and schemed YAC opportunities — all staples of Ben Johnson’s tight end usage. Rookie Outlook (2025) Floor:  Low-end TE1 in PPR formats; red zone weapon with weekly volatility Ceiling:  Top-6 fantasy tight end with explosive YAC upside and vertical usage Early Projection:  55–70 receptions, 700+ yards, 5–7 TDs Expected PPG (0.5 PPR):  8–12 Long-Term Dynasty Value Colston Loveland is a foundational dynasty TE prospect and a top-2 tight end in the 2025 rookie class. His high-end draft capital, elite athleticism, and perfect scheme fit under Ben Johnson make him a long-term TE1 candidate. While he may share snaps early on with Cole Kmet, Loveland’s upside is undeniable — he has the traits and situation to emerge as the next great fantasy tight end.

Jaxson Dart Dynasty Rookie Profile QB – New York Giants | Drafted: Round 1 | College: Ole Miss Jaxson Dart was a surprise first-round selection by the New York Giants in the 2025 NFL Draft, joining an offense that currently features Russell Wilson as the short-term starter. Dart isn’t expected to start in Year 1, but his long-term upside as a dual-threat quarterback in Superflex dynasty leagues makes him an intriguing investment with a clear pathway to a starting role by 2026. College Career Recap Jaxson Dart began his career at USC before transferring to Ole Miss, where he evolved into a productive, efficient SEC quarterback over three seasons. His final year in 2024 was his most complete campaign: 4,279 passing yards, 38 total touchdowns, and just 5 interceptions while leading the Rebels to a Gator Bowl victory. He showcased leadership, toughness, and poise, earning first-team All-SEC honors and setting school records for total offense and passing yards. Dart was especially effective from a clean pocket, earning a 94.3 PFF grade in such situations—second-best among all draft-eligible quarterbacks. He also showed touch, accuracy, and strong decision-making when working in rhythm, completing over 65% of his passes each of the last two seasons. However, questions remain about his processing speed and ability to work beyond his first read. NFL Scouting Report Measured at 6'2", 223 lbs, Dart combines above-average mobility with a quick release and a natural feel for play-action and RPO-based systems. He’s a rhythm passer who thrives when throwing in structure. While not an elite athlete or arm talent, he wins with anticipation and timing. His ability to alter throw types and stay composed in muddy pockets gives him a solid floor, but his post-snap processing and off-platform mechanics need refinement. Scheme Fit & Projected Role with Giants Dart lands in New York with Russell Wilson entrenched as the short-term starter. This allows Dart time to develop behind a veteran in Brian Daboll’s offense—a favorable situation for a rhythm passer with developmental traits. The Giants have built a young core around 2024 first-round pick Malik Nabers, creating the potential for Dart to eventually grow into a starter surrounded by ascending talent. Given Wilson’s one-year contract and age, Dart has a realistic chance to compete for the starting job by Year 2. His fit in a West Coast-style system that leans on RPOs, play-action, and timing routes should help maximize his strengths while minimizing early weaknesses. Rookie Outlook (2025) Floor:  Redshirt rookie season; minimal fantasy impact barring injury Ceiling:  Potential midseason starter with low-end QB2 value in Superflex leagues Early Projection:  5–7 games played, 1,500–1,800 passing yards, 10–12 total TDs Expected PPG (0.5 PPR/Superflex):  8.8-15.0 Long-Term Dynasty Value Dart profiles as a long-term stash in Superflex formats. While he lacks an elite trait, his production, polish, and leadership offer a high floor. If he earns the starting role in 2026 and forms chemistry with Nabers, Dart could emerge as a mid-tier QB2 with matchup-dependent QB1 upside in the right system. He’s a strong value pick in the late first or early second round of Superflex rookie drafts, particularly for teams already set at quarterback but seeking upside for 2026 and beyond.

Quinshon Judkins Dynasty Rookie Profile RB – Cleveland Browns | Drafted: Round 2, Pick 36 | College: Ohio State Quinshon Judkins brings early-down hammer traits and underrated three-down potential to a Browns offense looking to rebuild its ground game. With second-round draft capital and a clear rushing path, Judkins enters 2025 dynasty leagues as a high-floor RB2 option with touchdown upside. College Career Recap Judkins began his college career at Ole Miss, exploding onto the scene with over 1,500 scrimmage yards and 17 touchdowns as a true freshman. His north-south running style, compact power, and quick decision-making made him one of the most productive backs in the SEC. After two standout years, he transferred to Ohio State in 2024, where he split work with fellow draft pick TreVeyon Henderson and helped lead the Buckeyes to a national title. Even with the reduced volume, Judkins maintained top-tier efficiency, finishing his collegiate career with a rushing grade consistently above 87.0 and never fumbling more than once in a season. Though rarely used as a receiver, his hands were reliable, and his limited 2024 receiving reps at Ohio State showed promising flashes. His elite vision and physical style translated in both gap and inside-zone concepts. NFL Scouting Report NFL Scouting Report At 6’0” and 221 lbs, Quinshon Judkins enters the NFL as one of the most physically imposing backs in the 2025 class. Built with a dense frame and low center of gravity, Judkins combines bruising power with surprising burst. His athletic profile (4.48 40-yard dash, 1.51 10-yard split, 38.5” vertical, 11’ broad) confirms what the film already shows—he’s explosive through the hole and finishes with authority. Judkins thrives in inside zone and gap schemes where he can press the line, make a controlled one-cut, and accelerate through contact. He’s a violent finisher, generating yards after contact with a natural forward lean and elite contact balance. He consistently falls forward, averaging a touchdown once every 16 carries over his college career. His footwork in tight spaces and ability to control stride length give him the tools to work effectively behind interior-heavy blocking schemes. However, Judkins’ game is built on momentum rather than lateral agility. His hips are tight, limiting sudden re-directs or jukes in confined spaces. He’s not a natural creator when the play breaks down and lacks the top-end speed to consistently beat defenders to the boundary. He’s best when operating on schedule in a well-structured run scheme. As a receiver, Judkins flashed improved hands in 2024 but was rarely asked to run complex routes. He brings functional pass-catching value and has the frame to absorb contact over the middle. Pass protection remains a developmental area—he has the build and physical mindset for blitz pickup, but inconsistent technique and awareness limit his third-down upside early on. Scheme Fit & Projected Role with Browns The Browns selected Judkins early in Round 2 to reboot their backfield after moving on from Nick Chubb and D’Onta Foreman. While Jerome Ford and rookie Dylan Sampson are in the mix, Judkins is expected to take the lead role on early downs. Under head coach Kevin Stefanski, Cleveland has leaned into the run game—often with committee usage—but the investment in Judkins signals a shift toward establishing a primary runner. He’ll likely handle 12–15 carries per game out of the gate, with red zone and short-yardage work giving him weekly scoring upside. If he can prove capable on passing downs, Judkins has a shot to grow into a true bell cow role. Rookie Outlook (2025) Floor:  RB3 with consistent rushing volume and TD upside Ceiling:  RB2 with three-down potential in a run-centric system Early Projection:  180–210 carries, 15–25 targets, 1,100 total yards, 8–10 TDs Expected PPG (0.5 PPR):  8.8 – 14.8 Long-Term Dynasty Value Judkins offers plug-and-play value in early rookie drafts, particularly in 1QB formats where he projects as a mid-late Round 1 selection. In Superflex leagues, he’s consistently falling into the 1.07-1.08 range in 2QB formats. While the offensive line in Cleveland is aging, Judkins’ workload projection and red zone utility give him a high weekly floor. If he can grow as a pass catcher and earn more snaps in two-minute situations, Judkins could develop into a reliable top-15 fantasy RB. At just 21 years old, he’s a long-term asset with foundational upside in dynasty leagues.

Sitting at 1.01 to 1.04 in your dynasty rookie draft? The top-tier talent is tempting—but the real value lies a few picks later. In this video, I break down why trading back to the 1.05–1.08 range can land you elite prospects like Quinshon Judkins and additional draft capital. Build depth, gain flexibility, and walk away with more than just one blue-chip name. 2025 Dynasty Rookie Draft Strategy If you're holding a top-4 pick in your dynasty rookie draft—whether it's 1.01, 1.02, 1.03, or 1.04—the consensus targets are clear: Ashton Jeanty, Omarion Hampton, Travis Hunter, TreVeyon Henderson, or in Superflex formats, Cam Ward. These are the premium names, backed by elite production profiles, Day 2 NFL Draft capital, and projected immediate volume. It’s the range many fantasy GMs are eager to climb into. 🎥 Watch the full breakdown here:

Tetairoa McMillan Dynasty Rookie Profile WR – Carolina Panthers | Drafted: Round 1, Pick 8 | College: Arizona Tetairoa McMillan enters the NFL as one of the most refined X receiver prospects in recent draft memory. Drafted by the Carolina Panthers with the 8th overall pick, McMillan brings elite ball skills, physicality, and a massive catch radius to a wide receiver room that lacked a true alpha. With a clear opportunity to establish himself as Bryce Young’s go-to target, McMillan offers high-end WR2 fantasy upside in Year 1 with WR1 potential in dynasty formats. College Career Recap A five-star recruit and the highest-rated signee in Arizona football history, McMillan made an immediate impact as a true freshman, leading all freshmen nationally in receiving yards. He elevated his game in 2023 and 2024, earning back-to-back All-American honors and finishing his career as the school’s all-time leader in receiving yards (3,423). His ability to consistently win downfield and along the boundary made him one of the most productive Power Five wideouts of the past decade. In 2024, McMillan hauled in 84 passes for 1,319 yards and 8 touchdowns, including a school-record 304-yard performance against New Mexico. He proved dominant in contested catch situations and continued to develop his route tree. Despite a dip in drop rate, his overall body of work and film graded him as a top-tier X receiver with rare body control, timing, and sideline awareness. NFL Scouting Report At 6’4”, 219 lbs with 10-inch hands and long arms, McMillan profiles as a prototypical outside wide receiver. He’s a smooth mover with functional long speed and exceptional body control, particularly in the air. His ball tracking and ability to adjust mid-route allow him to thrive in deep and intermediate areas. While he lacks elite twitch or burst off the line, he compensates with technique, hand usage, and physicality. His production metrics align closely with big-bodied WRs like Mike Evans and Michael Pittman Jr., and while he can struggle to separate consistently against top press-man defenders, he remains a nightmare at the catch point. Scheme Fit & Projected Role with Panthers Dave Canales takes over in Carolina after successful stints developing X receivers like D.K. Metcalf and Mike Evans, both of whom posted double-digit TD seasons under his guidance. McMillan will step into a WR room that rotated options like Xavier Legette, Adam Thielen, and David Moore last year but lacked a true alpha. McMillan’s skill set and draft capital lock him in as the Panthers’ starting X receiver. Expect him to be featured heavily in vertical concepts and red-zone packages. While Carolina’s offense is still evolving under Bryce Young, McMillan should see immediate targets in a low-volume but high-leverage role. Rookie Outlook (2025) Floor:  WR4 with FLEX appeal in deeper leagues Ceiling:  Low-end WR1 with red-zone upside and WR2 consistency Early Projection:  65–80 receptions, 950–1,100 yards, 6–9 TDs Expected PPG (0.5 PPR):  10.0–14.5 Long-Term Dynasty Value McMillan is a plug-and-play dynasty WR2 with WR1 upside. His first-round capital, dominant college profile, and alpha WR build make him a strong pick in the middle of Round 1 in rookie drafts (1QB) and in Superflex formats. If Bryce Young continues his late-2024 progress, McMillan has top-10 dynasty WR potential within two seasons.

Travis Hunter Dynasty Rookie Profile WR/CB – Jacksonville Jaguars | Drafted: Round 1, Pick 2 | College: Colorado Travis Hunter enters the NFL as a generational two-way prospect with game-breaking ability on both sides of the ball. The Jaguars traded up to secure his services, and while his fantasy ceiling is massive, his unique role as both WR and CB introduces risk. In the right offensive setup, Hunter has WR1 upside in dynasty leagues. College Career Recap Travis Hunter became the most talked-about player in college football after flipping from Florida State to play for Deion Sanders at Jackson State, then Colorado. A five-star recruit and No. 1 overall player in the 2022 class, Hunter played both ways for three seasons, starring as a dynamic wide receiver and lockdown cornerback. In 2024, he put it all together—winning the Heisman Trophy and multiple national awards while leading Colorado in receiving yards (1,258), receptions (96), and touchdowns (15), and also notching 4 interceptions and 11 pass breakups on defense. His elite production in both roles has no modern precedent, cementing him as one of the most unique NFL Draft prospects ever. NFL Scouting Report Hunter measured 6'1", 185 lbs, and reportedly ran a sub-4.4 40-yard dash. As a receiver, he’s sudden, smooth, and explosive with elite ball tracking and dynamic run-after-catch ability. His ability to separate and win on vertical routes is top-tier, but he must refine his route tree and physicality at the catch point. On defense, Hunter showcases elite instincts, fluidity, and range in both man and zone. His ball skills translate from WR to CB with remarkable efficiency, but his lean frame could limit his press-man success at the next level. NFL teams see him as a potential star at either position. Scheme Fit & Projected Role with Jaguars Jacksonville plans to deploy Hunter on both offense and defense, with a focus on using him as a Z receiver behind Brian Thomas Jr. Expect Hunter to rotate in high-leverage situations on both sides of the ball while gradually building his offensive snap share. Liam Coen’s offense often features heavy 11 personnel and vertical route concepts—an ideal match for Hunter’s strengths. The challenge will be maximizing his offensive usage without compromising his defensive impact. If Hunter settles into a 70–80% snap share on offense, he can deliver weekly WR2 production. Rookie Outlook (2025) Floor:  Boom-bust FLEX with volatile usage Ceiling:  WR1 upside if he plays 85% + snaps on offense Early Projection:  70–80 targets, 900+ total yards, 6–8 TDs Expected PPG (0.5 PPR):  9.0–15.0 Long-Term Dynasty Value Hunter’s value in dynasty is unique—he's an elite talent with WR1 ceiling, but uncertainty about his snap share adds volatility. If the Jaguars transition him into a full-time wideout, he could emerge as the next great fantasy star. However, if his role remains split, he’ll be more matchup-dependent. Hunter remains an early first-round dynasty pick in 1QB and Superflex formats, and in leagues that reward IDP stats, his CB production adds rare dual-threat upside. He’s the ultimate ceiling play with the potential to change the fantasy landscape, just like he did in college football.

TreVeyon Henderson Dynasty Rookie Profile RB – New England Patriots | Drafted: Round 2, Pick 38 | College: Ohio State TreVeyon Henderson brings elite speed and third-down versatility to a crowded Patriots backfield. Drafted early in Round 2, Henderson enters a Josh McDaniels offense with a history of using committee backs — but Henderson’s juice and receiving upside give him immediate dynasty appeal, especially in 0.5 PPR formats. College Career Recap Henderson arrived at Ohio State as a five-star recruit and quickly validated the hype. He set the school’s freshman TD record in 2021 (19 total) while averaging 6.8 yards per carry and surpassing 1,200 rushing yards. Despite battling injuries in 2022 and sharing the backfield with Quinshon Judkins in 2024, he still tallied 3,761 total yards and 46 touchdowns in his Buckeyes career. What stood out most was his speed. According to PFF tracking data, Henderson ranked top 20 in FBS max speed across the last eight seasons. He also quietly improved as a pass catcher, posting 27 receptions for 284 yards in 2024, showcasing smooth hands and route creativity out of the backfield. His tape screamed big-play threat on any touch. NFL Scouting Report Measured at 5'11", 215 lbs, Henderson ran a 4.43 40-yard dash and posted elite explosion numbers — including a 38.5" vertical and 10'8" broad jump. His athleticism translated on film with sudden cuts, burst through tight creases, and the ability to erase pursuit angles. He excels on gap runs and in space, often setting up blocks before accelerating through the hole. However, he can get bottled up in tight lanes and isn't known for power-based finishes or shedding multiple tacklers between the tackles. Durability concerns and inconsistent early-down vision knock his every-down profile, but he may be the best pure pass protector and receiving threat among the 2025 RB class. Scheme Fit & Projected Role with Patriots Landing with Josh McDaniels and the Patriots complicates Henderson’s path to a true bell cow role. McDaniels rarely features a single back — instead using specialized roles. Rhamondre Stevenson will likely handle early-down and goal-line work, while Antonio Gibson could mix in on passing downs. Still, Henderson’s elite receiving profile makes him a prime candidate for the third-down role, and if Stevenson falters or Gibson fades, Henderson could earn more usage. McDaniels’ offenses historically lean gap-heavy — a good match for Henderson’s strengths — and New England’s bolstered offensive line (with 1st-rounder Will Campbell) could boost overall backfield efficiency. Rookie Outlook (2025) Floor:  RB3 with weekly FLEX value in PPR formats Ceiling:  RB2 with RB1 spike weeks if usage expands beyond third-down work Early Projection:  140–160 carries, 40+ targets, 1,000+ total yards, 6–8 TDs Expected PPG (0.5 PPR):  8.8–14.8 Long-Term Dynasty Value In Superflex leagues, Henderson offers high-floor, high-upside RB value in the middle of round one. His elite athletic traits and pass-catching skills make him a plug-and-play RB3 with game-breaking potential. If McDaniels leans into a more modern RB deployment or the Patriots move on from Stevenson, Henderson could emerge as a top-15 RB by Year 2.
